Ali and his younger sister, Zahra, lived with their parents in a poor neighborhood. Their mother was very sick and their father was struggling to find a job, and they had only a little money with which to buy food. As they had not paid the rent for several months, the landlord was breathing down their necks.

One day, Ali took Zahra's shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed, but he lost them on the way home. It wasn’t until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed, so he begged his sister to keep it a secret. Zahra agreed and the two decided to share Ali’s running shoes. Zahra's school hours were in the morning, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush back and give them to Ali. He could then run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, Ali often arrived late and was warned by the school.

Ali heard about a long distance race that was held for the boys in the city.When he learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes, he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes.

The day of race arrived. Ali had a strong start, but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache. Getting more and more exhausted he thought only of Zahra and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength, and he stayed right behind the two fastest runners, determined to finish third. Suddenly, as the finish line drew near, another runner collided(碰撞) with Ali from behind and he crashed to the ground.

Ali looked up and saw the other boys rushing ahead.

Filled with delight, Ali walked home quickly.

8 . My wife and I just moved into a new home. One day I found a heartwarming _________ on the glass window of my car from my neighbour Amy Jackson. The note _________ that there was a homeless cat in the neighbourhood that they have been _________ for many years. And they expressed the _________ that we wouldn’t call animal control.

Amy wrote, “You might be new _________ from your neighbour across the street. You have probably _________ the 3 bowls and an orange, white cat in the back yard. His name is ‘Cujo’ and we have permission (准许) from the earlier owner to feed him there.”

The next day Amy _________ me the whole story. Her parents lived on 42nd street for many years and began _________ him nearly 16 years ago when he showed up as a _________ kitten. Cujo used to spend most of his time in their bushes. ____________, Amy’s parents moved to 55th street three years ago. They tried to catch him, but he was far too ____________ for their tricks (把戏). Anyway, the gentleman who owns the house behind ours, kindly offered to let Amy feed him in his yard. Cujo has weak teeth and can no longer kill wild animals for food, so he can only eat the daily canned food she ____________.

I promised I wouldn’t call animal control because he should ____________ his last days in a familiar environment. Amy said he was rather sensitive (敏感的) actually, so I had better just clap (拍手) my hands at him and he should ____________.

What an amazing person. Such a selfless ____________ to care for a homeless cat in his final years.

9 . How to Teach Kids About Emotions (情绪) and Feelings

By teaching kids about their feelings and emotions, it opens up a whole new world for them. It’s like Helen Keller. In the movie Helen Keller, there’s an amazing scene where she learns that water has a name. Her world completely opened up.     1    

Teach songs that talk about feelings

You probably know this one already—maybe even sang it yourself as a child or to your child, but there’s a great song called If You’re Happy and You Know It!     2    

Explain other people’s emotions

Children are ego-centric (以自我为中心).     3     This is not selfishness. Young children are unable to understand different views. Use proper chances to explain how other people feel.

Use pictures or emojis (表情符号)

Another great way to teach children about feelings and emotions is to use pictures and emojis. I recall that on one of my visits to the hospital. I noticed different little emoji faces on a board from which a patient could choose to express their pain level.     4     When they’re feeling something that you recognize, you can show them emojis and ask, “Which feeling are you having now?”

    5    

Your children are watching you all the time. They’re like a camera. They pay very close attention. So, if your child sees you throw your phone across the room after a heated conversation, it’s noted.

A．Monkey see, monkey do!

B．That can be done with children.

C．The child believes that it is their mistake.

D．They believe the world revolves (旋转) around them.

E．Always know your feelings and how to express them.

F．This is a good song to teach children about happiness.

G．Here are some examples of ways in which you can begin teaching kids about emotions and feelings.

10 . Machine learning is a way of teaching computers to do tasks. In the past, to do anything computers depended on detailed, step-by-step instructions written by a person. But with machine learning, computers pick up new skills on their own, using examples or experience. This makes machine learning a powerful form of artificial intelligence, or AI. AI is the ability of a machine to think or learn like a person. AI systems power many kinds of machines—from smartphones to robots.

There are a few types of machine learning. The most common is supervised (监督) learning. In this method, a computer is fed lots of labeled (标记的) training data. For example, it may look at many photos of dogs. Each photo might be labeled with the dog’s breed (品种). By studying those photos, the computer learns what each breed looks like. Then, the computer can pick out dog breeds in new, unlabeled photos. The more data the computer studies, the better it gets at its task.

Another important kind of machine learning is reinforcement (强化) learning. Using this type of learning is kind of like training your dog. The computer learns to achieve some goal by interacting (互动) with its environment. When the computer makes a choice that brings it closer to its goal, it gets a virtual reward (虚拟奖励). Through trial and error, the computer learns to make better choices. This type of machine learning has helped computers master difficult games like Go and StarCraft Ⅱ. It has also been used to teach self-driving cars how to get around.

Machine learning has helped create technology all around us. It powers language translators and search engines. Machine learning systems also organise posts in social media (社交媒体) feeds. They even help diagnose (诊断) diseases. In many ways, the problem-solving power of machine learning is reshaping the world.

1. What does the underlined phrase “pick up” in paragraph 1 probably mean?

A．Beg.

B．Explore.

C．Require.

D．Master.

2. Why does the author mention dog training in paragraph 3?

A．To encourage self-learning.	B．To show the love for dogs.
C．To explain an idea clearly.	D．To voice his views on AI.

3. Which word best describes the author’s attitude towards machine learning?

A．Positive.

B．Disagreeable.

C．Doubtful.

D．Uncaring.

4. What can we learn about machine learning?

A．It’s different from AI technology.	B．It makes us further know dog’s breed.
C．It will take place of human translator.	D．It has been applied widely in daily life.
