Tramper could feel the stony road through the holes in his shoes. A newspaper blew by. He picked it up and sat down to cover the holes in his shoes with the paper.

A weak old lady stared at him. “You think you have shoe troubles?” she said. “The king has 12 girls and all of them have holes in their slippers?”

The old lady’s feet were bare (光脚的), cut and purple from the cold. Tramper felt sorry for her, so he gave her his shoes. To thank him, she gave Tramper her dirty cloak (斗篷) . As she walked away down the road, she called: “Stay awake. Drink no drop. Taste no cup.”

“A strange way to say goodbye,” thought Tramper.

PALACE NOTICE

WANTED: Answer to the Mystery of the Worn Slippers.

REWARD: Princess’ hand in marriage.

①Qinqiang Opera is one of the carliest forms of opera in China. It started from the ancient folk songs and dances of the Han people in Shaanxi and Gansu provinces. According to historical records, the local opera dates all the way back to the Qin Dynasty. Qinqiang Opera shows the daily life and feelings of ancient Chinese people. In 2006, Qinqiang Opera was added to national intangible heritage list (非物质文化遗产名录).

②Hou Yan, 48, the master of Qinqiang Opera started learning it from her mother when she was 4 years old. Training in the basic skills of Qinqiang Opera is very challenging. In 1985, Hou studied at an art school in Ningxia where teachers were very strict with students. Leg stretching (伸展), waist bending (弯曲) and somersaults (翻筋斗) were just some of her daily training routines. Her hard work paid off. Hou became a performer with a troupe (剧团) at the age of 16.

③But since 1993, the sweeping trend (趋势) of pop and Western music has hit Qinqiang Opera hard. The troupe was closed and Hou had no choice but to leave the opera stage she loved.

④After 1995, however, China has made great efforts to develop its traditional culture. Hou returned to the stage in 2000 and devoted herself to the opera form. “I knew I’d planted my roots on the opera stage,” said Hou. Now, Hou’s team presents hundreds of Qinqiang Opera performances every year in the towns and villages of Ningxia. The average age of Hou’s opera team is 30. In 2021, they staged about 150 school performances.

①Driving coaches might soon be joining the list of jobs to be replaced by AI in the near future. A company in China has developed an AI-powered driving coach called Robo Coach, and it’s already being used in driving schools.

②Unluckily, Robo Coach is not a humanlike robot that sits next to you and complain about your driving skills. The digital driving coach developed by Beijing Yi Jia Jia Technology is actually a teaching and safety control system.

③The other ways in which Robo Coach differs from human driving coaches are even more amusing, though. Robo Coach will call you as “mommy” or “daddy”.

④Besides voice, the system uses a dashboard (仪表盘) screen and a smart rearview mirror (后视镜) to communicate with the learner. Robo Coach uses sensors (传感器) to stop if the car runs into something or increase speed suddenly for no reason, similar to how self-driving cars work.

⑤The Robo Coach has more than 40 different sensors on the car to notice people, other cars and roads. _______ And to make faster decision making, the car is also provided with radar systems (雷达系统) .

⑥The system isn’t just keeping new drivers from meeting accidents. It also collects information on the learner’s driving behavior and even body position. It studies these driving habits in real time to see if the learner is too traditional or easy to be angry during practice and changes its teaching style. By recording all the problems a learner runs into during lessons, the system aims to help the new driver correct past mistakes and prevent new ones.

⑦The Robo Coach is now being used in five driving instruction centers owned by Yi Jia Jia’s parent company as well as 22 other driving schools across China.

36. Which sentence can be put in _______ in Paragraph ⑤?

A．It can correct your mistakes at any time.

B．It can stop immediately if learners meet any danger.

C．It communicates with learners and helps decision making and instructions.

B．AI might replace human driving coaches soon.

C．With the Robo Coach’s help, learners can improve their driving skills quickly and safely.

D．The Robo Coach will sit next to you and help you correct your driving skills
