"Mark Zuckerberg amazingly learned Chinese and did a Q w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.m A with Chinese stud ents—unbelievable, isn't it?" he said.This isn't the first time for Gates to admit his regret over langu age.

In many ways, 2018 had proven an arduous year. My teenage daughter had left home for university, my job of 23 years was no more, and a creative project I’d given my all to for years had also been suddenly called off. I also found out a person I considered a friend was far from it.A year earlier, I’d dreamt about an earthquake. In the dream, a red light flashed inside a building and then the earth began to rock. Walls fell down on me as I ran into the open, feeling sorry for the people I hadn’t loved enough. Before I was buried completely by the falling world, I shouted, “Abuelo, ayudame,” in my native Spanish. “Grandfather, help me!”Now, with the very real aftershocks of a series of unexpected endings, I walked into a little flower shop to buy a gift for a friend. The gentleman at the shop looked at me and turned away for a moment, returning with a fragrant flower. “For you. You need to smile today,” he said in a rich and beautiful a ccent, offering me the flower with eyes full of care. It took all my strength not to cry. Then he gave me a grandfatherly hug that made me want to tell him everything.Instead, I thanked him and headed for the train. How did he know? I wondered. For the first time in weeks, I felt hope.24. The underlined word in the second paragraph means “_____________”.A. puzzledB. mixedC. hardD. meaningful25. What is the third paragraph mainly about?A. A detailed description of the author’s dream.B. The help that the author got from his grandfather.C. An earthquake that the author came across before.D. The author’s sorry thoughts for the people he hadn’t loved enough.26. What drove the author to walk into the flower shop?A. Series of unexpected things.B. The fragrant flowers in the shop.C. The gentleman in the flower shop.D. The idea of sending a gift to a friend.27. Why did the author feel hope in the end?A. Because the gentleman showed his concern for the author.B. Because the gentleman gave the author a grandfatherly hug.C. Because the gentleman at the shop sent him a fragrant flower.D. Because the gentleman said some words in a rich and beautiful accent.CActor Warwick Davis realized he was shorter than other people when he was eight years old. He suddenly noticed all his schoolmates were twice his size. It was then that the effect of having dwarfism(侏儒症)hit him for the first time.Now aged 48, Davis says, “I have very fond memories of school but I realized I had to become a little bit louder and funnier so I wouldn’t get left out of conversations. I became quite the performer, so being short was my training in acting.”It worked. Director George Lucas cast young Warwick as the Ewok Wicket in Return of the Jedi. The actor has gone on to star in many TV shows and films, including playing Professor Flitwick in the Harry Potter films.Warwick’s dwarfism means he is 1.07 meters tall, while the average UK adult male height is 1.78 meters. Most types of dwarfism are caused by a genetic disorder that stops some of the body’s building blocks working properly.Davis has a positive attitude to being “different”. He says, “If I had my life all over again, I would choose the same job and be the same height. I have enjoyed every minute.
