In recent years, China has been making great progress in technology. A number of inventions have made our daily life more convenient （便利的） . Among them, four stand out. They are known as “four new great inventions” of modern China.

High-speed trains China created its first high-speed railway line in 2008. Since then, the number of passenger trips has grown by over 30 percent every year. It is reported that high-speed train network will connect 80 percent of important cities in China by 2020. China’s high-speed railway technology is also being used abroad. More and more high-speed railways are being set up in foreign countries like Turkey （土耳其） and Russia.

Mobile payment Mobile payment is turning China into a “cashless （无现金） society”. People now only need to pay for the things they buy by typing a short password （密码） into an app like Alipay （支付宝） on their mobile phone. Users can also pay their bills through Alipay, such as their water and electricity bills. Alipay also allows users to buy things on international websites and apps.

Shared bikes China has surprised the world with how quickly it has spread the shared bikes. Users simply pick up or park a bike on the street through GPS and smartphone apps, China’s two leading bike-sharing companies, Mobike and Ofo, have been spreading their business to markets abroad. People are riding their bikes in Singapore （新加坡） , the UK and the United States.

Online shopping China has been the world’s largest and fastest-growing online shopping market. Online shopping now takes up 15.5 percent of total retail （零售） sales in China. It also helped to create jobs of countryside areas. In 2016, online shopping created more than 20 million jobs in countryside areas.

Clouds are an ordinary sight. However, this Dutch artist makes his own.

Berndnaut Smilde creates clouds in locations where nature would never place them. The interior ( 内部 ) of a church or museum looks different behind a cloud. And an everyday cloud looks unusual in a castle. The art project explores the beauty of clouds. Each scene lasts only five seconds before it disappears.

The ingredients ( 成分 ) for Smilde's clouds: just smoke and water vapor ( 水蒸气 ). The artist requires a cold and wet space with no wind. Otherwise the clouds will never form or will fall straight to the ground.

Once a cloud is formed, Smilde will run around it and turn it into a shape about three meters across and 1.8 meters tall. Then, he will step back far enough to take several pictures. Smilde will not stop until he is happy with the results. Usually, he creates a dozen clouds at a time.

Many people are interested in Smilde's project. Some ask him to create clouds for them at a party or a wedding ceremony. Smilde, however, often refuses the invitations. He says he only creates clouds when the setting ( 背景 ) offers him something fresh. The artist doesn't just want people to stare in wonder at his clouds. He also wants people to appreciate the transience of life. For the clouds, they exist only for a moment and then are gone forever.

Each creation is "about being at the right place at the right time," Smilde says. "If you are seeing a photo, you have already missed it."

I have been working at Papworth Hospital in Cambridge for the past 20 years. My day starts at 5:30, when I have two cups of black coffee while listening to the radio. Recently, I've been using the morning to work on a book I'm currently writing. I'm in the hospital just before 8:00. If it's a nice day, I'll cycle the fifteen miles to my office, but my favorite way of getting to work is on my motorbike.

My week is divided into operating and non-operating days. Monday and Tuesday are my operating days and I like to come in early and stay late to check the progress of my patients. During the rest of the week, I'm in clinics or working in research.

On a typical operating day, I will conduct two to three operations. Some of the complex operations can take as long as ten to twelve hours. In certain cases, I think about them days, or even weeks, in advance.

Last week, I had one of these cases which took a lot of thinking through ( 充分考虑 ) beforehand. The patient was a young man who had a rare congenital heart abnormality ( 先天性心脏畸形 ). He needed an operation urgently, or he would probably die. I planned the operation in my head while at the dentist's.

Like many other doctors, I am always on call for my patients. When I do get to have some time to myself, I enjoy creating crossword puzzles ( 纵横填字游戏 ). I even make them for The Guardian!

On January 27, in order to win the new pneumonia Resistance War ( 抗击新型肺炎战 ), the Ministry of Education issued ( 教育部公布 ) a notice on putting off the start time of school in spring 2020. It was said that school should not start before March. The exact start time of school will depend on situations and further notices.

However, many parents are very worried that putting off the start of school may affect ( 影响 ) children's studies. If they have such a long winter vacation, children will not learn any knowledge, read books or study at all. They may forget what they have learned before. Staying at home for a long time will make them keep eating, sleeping and playing, which seriously affect their physical and mental health.

In short, the close of school influences learning and develops bad habits, so how should we avoid these problems? Local education departments have also issued a notice, that is, to organize online teaching and create a network platform ( 平台 ), where some courses will be shown every day, and online teaching will be given by excellent teachers of the subject, and students can learn at home through computers or mobile network.

It should be said that such a method is very good. It can not only keep students indoors and not worry about the infection ( 感染 ) of the disease, but also make them study at home, improve their learning ability, and truly achieve "no suspension of classes". Both the platform itself and the recorded lesson resources are more useful, and are welcomed by parents and teachers.

Of course, except for learning at home, it is also needed to teach children about health knowledge, especially how to keep away from touching virus and other knowledge popularization; at the same time, it is also needed for children to do some physical exercises or some games, which is good for physical health at home.

1 ． Parents worried about putting off the start time of school because _______.

A ． children may be infected by virus B ． they don't like the idea of online learning

C ． children's study may be affected D ． parents have no time to look after children

2 ． Except for learning at home, what is also needed according to the writer?

A ． To keep playing online games. B ． To keep touching different people.

C ． To do some physical exercises outside. D ． To teach children about health knowledge.

3 ． The underlined word "suspension" in Paragraph 4 probably means _______.

A ． plan B ． stop C ． growth D ． change

4 ． Which is TRUE according to the passage?

A ． Students would rather go to school.

B ． Online teaching will help students study.

C ． Parents believe children can teach themselves.

D ． Local education departments didn't organize online teaching.

5 ． What's the best title for this passage?

A ． A Special Way to Learn at Home. B ． A New War with a New Chance.

C ． A Way to Keep Mentally Healthy. D ． A Method to Make Parents Worried.

Many places in the world need more fresh ( 淡的） water. Every country is trying to find ways to turn salt water into fresh. Why aren't there many factories like the Symi factory?

In some places ， the sun isn’t hot enough ， or it doesn’t shine every day. In these places, other ways of heating sea water can be used. These ways cost more money, but they work faster than the sun. By boiling ( 煮沸） sea water with high heat, a lot of fresh water can be made quickly.

Near the end, a 70-year-old man ran past me, very fast, and I felt a little shamed that I was more than 50 years younger than he and I couldn't even keep up with him. But then 1 realized something. He was running his race and I was running mine. How often in life do we compare ourselves with others when we really shouldn't?
