The Pyramids of Egypt
There are about eighty pyramids known today. The most well-known was for Pharaoh(法老) Khufu. It is known as the “Great Pyramid”. It’s also the largest one. Workers used about 2.3 million blocks of stone to build it. (A)用了20年的时间才建成。
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon
The garden sat on a hill. It was a large and wonderful structure(建筑物). Many parts of the garden were high up on large columns(支柱). There were many big and green trees with lovely flowers. Although there are many different ideas about the garden, we are not sure whether this wonder ever existed(存在)!
The Lighthouse of Alexandria
The Lighthouse of Alexandria was designed about 2,000 years ago. It was in Egypt, too. (B) It was one of the ancient wonders of the world, about 135 metres high. It was once the highest building in the world. Although it doesn’t exist now, many people come to see its relic(遗址) every year.

Cars, undoubtedly, are one of the most important transportation tools today. They have had a huge(1)________[ˈɪnfluəns] on our daily lives. In my opinion, when it comes to the future of the automobile industry, there are three challenges: accidents, traffic jams and pollution.
The first two challenges can be solved by artificial intelligence(AI) and the Internet of things. These two technologies will make self-driving cars a reality. Cars will drive themselves to their destinations automatically. Thanks(2)__the IT, cars traffic lights and even pedestrians will be connected with each other. Traffic information will be transmitted in real time. For example, if there is roadwork ahead, the AI system will tell the car to change its planned route. This way, traffic jams can be avoided. There will also be fewer accidents caused by careless drivers.
The last challenge, pollution can be solved by exploring new sources of energy. Electric cars are much cleaner than petrol cars. In recent years, electric cars have already become more and more popular. Many people have been driving electric cars. However, new problems, such as pollution caused by old batteries, have been arising. How can we solve these problems? It’s high time we thought about that. There is still a long way for us to go. I believe that with our combined efforts, newer and more reliable technologies will appear. They will help create a brighter future for road transportation.

Research has shown that it is difficult to concentrate on (专注于) driving and talking at the same time．It can even be more dangerous than driving after drinking too much. A recent study found that when drivers were talking on their mobile phones，their stopping times were 30 percent slower than when they had drunk too much—and nearly 50 percent slower than when they were driving normally. It also found that drivers talking on mobile phones were less able to control their cars than drunk drivers.
And talking isn’t even the most serious problem, but texting is. Unbelievably, another recent study reported that 22％ of adults admitted (承认) they had sent a text message while driving at least once in the past month. An average (平均的) text message takes 90 seconds to write and send. That means for one and a half minutes a driver is looking at their phone’s screen and not at the road. The arrival of new smart phones such as the iPhone will only make things worse as they will allow users to do more things than ever before．
Using a mobile phone while driving puts others’ lives at risk. No matter how well we drive，if another driver is not careful，we are put in danger by their actions. Such drivers are selfish，careless and should have their driving licences (驾照) cancelled (撤销).
There is no doubt that mobile phones can be fun and are useful，especially when you’re in trouble．But there is no need to use them while driving. Just wait until you stop or you will probably get into trouble of your own.

How important is your appearance? Although everyone wants to be good-looking, are beautiful people always happier people? For example, it must be a problem to be a really beautiful woman, because some people may be more interested in looking at you than talking to you. They think of you as a picture rather than a person.
Some people think that women who are exceptionally(格外地) pretty and men who are particularly handsome must be stupid. They believe that only unattractive(无魅力的) people can be intelligent.
On the other hand, no one wants to be really ugly, and have a face that even your mother doesn’t want to look at; and no one wants to plain, either—that is, to be neither attractive nor unattractive, and have a face that is easily forgotten. Being attractive is like being rich. It can help you find happiness, but it doesn’t always make you happy.
So maybe the best thing is not to worry too much about how you look, but simply try to be an interesting person. For interesting people have interesting faces and interesting faces are almost always attractive.
1. It’s always easy to be happy for a beautiful woman.2. No one likes to talk to a very pretty woman.
3. Some people think that handsome men are unintelligent.
4. A plain face is easily forgotten.
5. The writer advises readers to pay more attention to how they look.
6 . Would you like to live in a city where buildings turn the lights off for you, and self-driving cars will find the nearest parking space themselves? Although it might sound a little far from you, living in a “smart” city like this could happen sooner than you think.
Great changes have taken place in towns that we have lived in for centuries, while completely new cities are being built. One such place is the city of Songdo. Every home there will have a telepresence system(远程遥控系统)—allowing users to control the heating and locks, take part in video meetings, and receive education, health care and government services. Around the city, escalators(自动扶梯) will only move when someone is on them, and offices and schools will all be connected to the system.
The great mind behind Songdo is from the company Cisco. Actually, technology companies around the world such as IBM, Siemens and Microsoft are already in the business.
About 75% of the world’s population will live in cities by 2050, so cities will need to be more modern to deal with the coming problems. “Making cities smarter is one way out, and I think this will in turn make cities greener,” said Dan Hill, the head of a research company.

China Turns to Internet for Food During the-Novel Coronavirus Fears
During the virus outbreak（爆发）in China, Wang Feng had to stay at home. But thanks to the e-commerce giant JD.com（电商巨头，京东）, she can keep her kitchen full of food. More and more people has chosen to buy food online since China's government told the public to stay home to control the spread of the virus.
On Tuesday, Wang's phone buzzed震动）with a text message that a delivery（快递）had arrived. She put on a face mask and went out of her house to collect walnut milk and other goods from shelves on the sidewalk（人行道）—an anti-virus（防病毒的）measure to limit contact with drivers who normally go door to door.
The government has told anyone who can work from home to stay there. Some cities have allowed only one member of a family out each day. That creates a ready market for online entertainment and shopping.
“I can't go out and can't go to work,” said one of Wang's neighbors, Chen Guang who was picking up a box of vegetables from the sidewalk shelves under a sign that said, “Contactlesse Distribution（分配）Point.”
JD says over the past month, its drivers delivered（运送）71,500 tons of rice, flour and other grains-20times more than the same period last year, 27 million liters（公升）of cooking oil and 50,000 tons of meat, eggs, vegetables and other fresh products.
