But when we talk about day and night, we are using “day” to mean the time between sunrise and sunset. Because the earth looks like a ball, the sun can shine on only half of it at a time. Always one half of the earth is having day and the other half night. At the equator (赤道) day and night are sometimes the same length. They are each twelve hours long. The sun rises at 6 o’clock in the morning and sets at 6 o’clock in the evening. For six months the North Pole is tilted (倾斜的) towards the sun. In those months the Northern Hemisphere gets more hours of sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere. Days are longer than nights. South of the equator nights are longer than days. For the other six months the North Pole is tilted away from the sun. Then the Southern Hemisphere gets more sunlight. Days are longer than nights. North of the equator nights are longer than days. Winter is the season of long nights. Summer is the season of long days.( ) 1.

One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2: 30 a.m. When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.I walked to the door and knocked. "Just a minute." answered a weak, elderly voice.After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the car.She kept thanking me for my kindness. "It's nothing," I told her. "I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.""Oh, you're such a good man," she said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, "Could you drive through downtown?""It's not the shortest way," I answered quickly."Oh, I'm in no hurry," she said. "I'm on the way to hospice(临终医院). I don't have any family left. The doctor says I don't have very long."I quietly reached over and shut off the meter(计价器).For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.Sometimes she'd ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.At dawn, she suddenly said, "I'm tired. Let's go now."We drove in silence to the address she had given me."How much do I owe you?" she asked."Nothing," I said."You have to make a living," she answered. "Oh, there are other passengers," I answered.Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly. Our hug ended with her remark, "You gave an old woman a little moment of joy."1. The old woman chose to ride through the city in order to .A. show she was familiar with the cityB. see some places for the last timeC. let the driver earn more moneyD. reach the destination on time2.

Then one Friday morning I took part in a three-day self-help program for teenagers. Whether you believe it or not, that weekend changed my life.About 100 other teenagers were there. During the first two days I met a lot of great people.I was glad because I made so many friends there.On Sunday, the leader did an interesting exercise called "Chocolate or Toys". He asked a girl which she liked better, chocolate or toys. She chose chocolate. Then he asked her to choose again between chocolate and chocolate. Of course, she didn't have a choice.This exercise told us that sometimes we don't have a choice in life, and that sometimes we have to accept something, rather than complaining(抱怨).A girl stood up and started talking about her mom who was a drug addict (吸毒者) and how much she hated her mother."I want a new mom," she cried."Unluckily, you can't have one," the leader replied."You have to accept the mother that you have."This hit me hard.

While working as a leader, Martin started the first art exchange programs between the US and China in the 1980s. During his career, he contributed to the training of art talent in China as well as the research and development of Chinese contemporary (当代的)art.In memory of his great contributions, an exhibition named Lifetime of Devotion: The Art of Fred Martin was held at the Silicon Valley Asian Art Center in Santa Clara,California. The exhibition ran through to March 8 and featured about 30 paintings by the artist.“The artistic connection between East and West was an important part of Fred's life. There was a deep connection between Fred and the whole culture of China,”says Michael Grady, a former partner of Martin's and a professor of the art studio at Appalachian State University.“His use of handwritten text and his artworks were made of paint on paper. So he was easily accepted by Chinese artists as they share a common source (来源) of encouragement from both classical and modern Chinese art,”says Grady. Grady actually attended the opening celebration of the exhibition on February 25.Martin started his trip to China as early as 1986 with teachers and students from the art institute. He helped to make the school one of the first Western art institutes to have exchange programs with China since the country's reform and opening-up started in 1978.In following years, Martin and his colleagues(同事) and students visited China to study Chinese culture and art, and they also gave lectures and held exhibitions.

Or why your navigation app took you on the side street instead of the highway? In a study published April 2lst in the journal iScience, Italian researchers, Arianna Pipitone and Antonio Chella, designed a robot that "thinks out loud".To explore how inner speech might influence a robot's actions, the researchers built a robot called Pepper that speaks to itself. It has the ability to reason and think. They then asked people to set the dinner table with Pepper according to etiquette（礼仪）rules. In one experiment, the user asked Pepper to lay the napkin at the wrong place, going against the rules. Pepper started asking itself a series of self-directed questions and concluded that the user might be mistaken. To be sure, Pepper confirmed the user's order, which led to further inner speech."Ehm, this situation troubles me. I would never break the rules, but I can't make the user unhappy, so I'm doing what he wants, "Pepper said to itself, laying the napkin where it was required to be. Through Pepper's inner voice, the user can learn Pepper was facing a difficult situation and solved it by prioritizing the user's order.Comparing Pepper's actions with and without inner speech, Pipitone and Chella discovered the robot had a higher task-completion rate when having self-dialogue.However, some people find the robot spends more time completing tasks when it talks to itself. The robot's inner speech is also limited to the knowledge that researchers gave it. Pepper's designers still say their workprovides a framework（构架）to further explore how self-dialogue can help robots focus, plan, and learn. "In some ways, we are creating a generational（世代的）robot that likes to chat. From navigation apps and the camera on your phone to medical robots in the operation rooms, machines and computers alike can take advantage of this chatty feature, "says Chella.1. Why does the writer ask two questions at the very beginning of the passage?A. To draw the reader's attention to the topic.B. To show the writer likes electronic products.C. To tell the reader about the history of robots.D. To prove the writer often faces trouble in life.2. Why was Pepper asked to lay the napkin at the wrong place?A. To see how much time Pepper spent laying the napkin.B. To confirm how popular Pepper was among its users.C. To test how many etiquette rules Pepper remembered.D. To study how self-dialogue might influence Pepper's actions.3. What does the underlined word "prioritizing" in Paragraph 3 mean?A. repeatingB. dealing with firstC. going againstD. complaining about4. What can we infer from the passage?A. The designers are proud of their work about Pepper.B. Pepper has already been in use in the operation rooms.C. Pepper's inner speech depends on its user's communication skills.D. With or without inner speech, Pepper could complete a task equally well.三、语篇填空Following the Lantern Festival, the Huazhao Festival (花朝节) is the next cheerful celebration on China’s traditional festival calendar.With a history of over 2,000 years, the Huazhao Festival 1 (hold) in celebration of the flower goddess’ (花神) birthday.
