Thomas Edison was one of ten said to be the greatest genius of his age. There are only a few men in all of the history, who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light. But Edison could never be happy only because someone said he was a genius. “There is no such thing as genius,” Edison said. He said that what people called genius was mostly hard work.
But Edison was a dreamer as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a child he wondered about the secrets of nature. Nature, he often said, is full of secrets. He tried to understand them; then, he tried to learn what could usefully be done with them.
Edison enjoyed thinking. He knew that most people will do almost anything instead of the difficult work of thinking, especially if they do not think very often. But he knew, too, that thinking can give men enjoyment and pleasure.
Edison could not understand how anyone could be uninterested in life. As he loved to think, he also loved to work. On the day he became 75 years old, someone asked him what ideas he had about life. “Work,” he answered. “Discovering the secrets of nature and using them to make men happier.” He said he had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100 years of work.
24. Edison thought ____________.
A. he could be happy if he was a genius
B. genius plays the most important part in one’s success
C. hard work could do better than genius
D. genius could do better than hard work
25. Edison was _____________.
A. very much interested in nature
,
B. interested in discovering the secrets of nature
C. interested in changing people’s ideas
D. uninterested in making people happier by discovering the secrets of nature
26. In Edison’s opinion______________.
A. thinking can supply people with enjoyment and pleasure as well as help
B. people’s success lies mostly in genius
C. hard work is the second important thing in making people successful
D. there are few secrets for him to discover later
27. The last sentence in the passage most probably implies __________.
A. life is too short for Edison to invent more for human beings
B. Edison made 100 inventions in his life
C. Edison was able to live and work for 100 years
D. people of his time were ready to give Edison another 100 years’ work

Two years ago, Kursat Ceylan was in New York to give a talk about disability rights. Blind since birth, the Turkish businessman was struggling to find his hotel, holding a cane (手杖) in one hand and pulling his luggage with the other while trying to get GPS directions from his phone.“Not surprisingly, all ofa sudden I hit a pole," he says. While the cane can tell you what's on the ground, it doesn' t help with objects at the body or head level. It wasn' t the first time Ceylan had run into something, injuring himself.
With WeWALK, a new smart cane, Ceylan hopes to help blind people navigate (设法穿越) their environments more easily. The cane can tell users what's around them. A sensor detects objects at the body or head level and gives a warning vibration (振动). WeW ALK users pair the cane with their smartphones and then use the cane's touchpad to access features like voice assistant or navigation.
In the future, Ceylan hopes to connect WeW ALK with public transportation and ridesharing services. That way it could tell the user the number of the bus coming down the street or the license plate of the Uber stopping at the roadside. The cane will update with new features as they come online, much the way smartphones do.
Ceylan believes WeWALK can help blind people achieve greater freedom of movement, which will give them greater access to education and jobs. Blind people are less likely to complete higher education and have hig her rates of unemployment.“WeWALK is not just a smart cane for us," he says. "It is a movement to increase full and equal participation in social life. "
The cane is already having an impact on users, Ceylan says. He recently received an email from a teacher who had become blind as an adult. He had been depressed, he wrote. But since getting a WeWALK cane,“'It became my antidepressant,' he wrote," Ceylan recalls. "This is the most important feedback that we got," Ceylan says. “We saw that we are touching th e real problem."
28.Why is Ceylan' s experience mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A. To support disability rights.
B. To call for care for the blind.
C. To show the problem with the cane.
D. To prove the competence of the blind.
29. What can WeW ALK do now?
A. Issue features online.
B. Identify the bus numbers.
C. Book a ridesharing service.
D. Warn users of higher barriers.
30. How can WeWALK benefit the blind according to Paragraph 4?
A. It helps them fit into society.
B. It guarantees them a good job.
C. It enables them to enjoy a smart life.
D. It allows them to receive special education.
31. How might Ceylan feel after reading the teacher S email?
A. Doubtful.
B. Curious.
C. Proud.
D. Dissatisfied.
D
Parents can cut the chances of their children getting fat simply by keeping them longer at table.
Just three extra minutes at a family mealtime could help prevent child fatness. The reasons might lie
in communication and the importance of a scheduled mealtime.
Dr Barbara Fiese said, “Children, whose families have a 20-minute meal over four times a week,
weigh lighter than kids who leave the table after15 to 17 minutes. Over time, those extra minutes per
meal add up and become really powerful.”
Researchers studied 200 family mealtimes, testing the influences of mealtime habits of families
with children in primary school. They found that families, who said that shared mealtimes were an
important part of family life and had special meaning for them, were less likely to have fat children. . Similarly, families who talked more together and communicated more positively during the meal,
were more likely to have healthy-weight children.
Teaching families how to make full use of family mealtimes was a wise idea. “This is
something we can do and teach. It’s also important to recognize the increasing differences of
families and their complex living schedules that may challenge(挑战) their abilities to plan ahead
and set some time to communicate with each other,” sai d Dr Fiese.
Families in poorer US neighborhoods faced more problems, including poor chances of getting
healthy food. But even so, regular high quality family mealtimes made a difference to the children’s
weight. Dr Fiese said, “Three to four extra minutes per meal will make a healthy weight more
possible.”
32. How long is reasonable for a family mealtime according to the text?
A. About 10 minutes.
B. About 12 minutes
C. About 15 minutes
D. About 20 minutes.
33What’s the advantage of a longer family mealti me according to the text?
A. Children can better enjoy their meals.
B. Children can have a good rest while eating.
C. Children can communicate more during the time.
D. Children can have more time to choose what they like.
34. What does the author want to show in paragraph3?
A. The result of a study.
B. Different eating habits.
C. Causes of child fatness.
D. The importance of normal eating
35. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Mealtime talk helps to lose weight
B. Healthy food makes normal weigh
C. Poorer families have thinner children
D. Longer family mealtimes help prevent child fatness

Dear David,
I am writing to tell you something about the square dance in China. In the morning or after dinner , people, especially elderly women, will gather in squares to dance to popular music. More and more young people are also joining in it now.
There are many reasons behind its popularity. First of all, China has made great progress in its social and economical development in the past decades, and people have more time and energy to enjoy themselves. Besides, doing the square dance is a good way for people to keep fit.
However, just as each coin has two sides, this kind of dance has also led to some problems. For example, dancers play loud music and occupy lots of public places, which annoy many other people. Maybe square dancers need to make some changes.
Yours,
Lin Lei
