And "I’m happy" has becomea smiling face.Emojis have been warmly welcomed since they wereinvented in the 1990s in Japan. According to a survey of a mobile technology company, 6 billion emojis are used in text messages around the world every day. Last year,20 percent of all emojis used in the UK and 17 percent of those used in the US was the icon .It became the most widely-used icon in 2015.Emojis are now used as % new fo~ of expression", and one which can cross language barriers(障碍). "'Emojis are popular among millennials, who were born between late 1980s and early 2000s, because they welcome new technology and new things and they think emojis are ' flexible(灵活的) and show meanings beautifully'", president of Oxford Dictionaries told The Wall Street Joural.Since millennials became the biggest part in the American workforce(劳动), emojis have been more accepted in the workplace. For many people, the tiny pictures also show that the users are part of mainstream(主流) society. In the digital age, emojis are "how most people communicate and show their personality many times every day. "But not everyone thinks the use of emojis is a good thing. Jonathan Jones of T he Guardian said that the success of emojis is "a step back for humans", hurting people's ability to use languages."There are strict limits on what you can say with pictures--the written word is necessary to express your ideas and feelings to their highest level," he said.Do you feel or about emojis?( )41.

But have you ever wondered where exactly the fat goes?Some doctors think that fat is changed into heat and given off in the air. Others think the body burns it. Some even joke that someone comes and takes it. That’s why you always weigh less in the morning.Now a new study from Australia solves the mystery.“The correct answer is that most of the fat is bre athed out as CO2. It goes into thin air,” says the study.Scientists followed the atoms (原子) in 10 kilograms of fat as they are lost. They found that 8.4 of those kilograms are breathed out as CO2through the lungs (肺). The other weight, 1.6 kilograms, becomes water and leaves the body.“None of this is easy to understand because we can’t see the CO2we breathe out,” said the study’s lead expert.Does that mean you can lose more weight by breathing more? It is not as easy as you think. Breathing more than t he body’s metabolic rate (新陈代谢速度) can make you uncomfortable. You may feel dizzy (眩晕的) and become unable to see, move or feel, according to the study.So how can people lose weight healthily? The key is to eat less and move more. You may have heard this many times. During a day, a 70kg person breathes out about 200g of CO2. So if the same person wants to lose weight, he or she can do some light exercise, for example, walking fast. This can help lose 240g of CO2.46. Where is the new study from?A. Japan.B. Australia.C. Canada.D. America.47. According to the new study, where does our fat go when we exercise a lot?A. The body burns it.B. Someone comes and takes it.C.

They will lose weight healthily.B. They will feel comfortable.C. They may become unable to move.D. They may become healthier.49. Which of the following is the best way to lose weight?A. Sitting still and breathing more.B. Sleeping a lot and breathing more.C. Eating less and exercising more.D. Eating more and doing some light exercise.50. The passage mainly tells us __________.A. where fat goes when we exerciseB. why we can lose weight healthilyC. how we should do some exerciseD. what we should do to burn fatCA man in Pakistan is now working to help children get an education. When he was a child, he did not go to school because he was too poor.It is reported that Pakistan has 25 million children who do not go to school. That is the second highest number in the world. Only Nigeria has more. Many Pakistani children must work to support their families.Mohammad Ayub was once one of those children. He is now a firefighter. He also manages a small school. VOA recently visited the school in the capital Islamabad.Ayub started with just one student in 1982. He saw a boy cleaning cars for days. He asked him, “Why don’t you go to school?” The boy answered that h is parents were dead and he had to work to help support his five brothers and three sisters.Ayub was also an orphan and he, too, had to work to help support his five brothers and three sisters. He said, “When my father died, everyone who came to the funer al said they were sorry, but no one helped.” He sold newspapers and did other work to earn enough money to pay school fees for his brothers and sisters.Ayub wanted to help the young boy who washed cars, but he did not have enough money to pay the boy’s sc hool fees. _________________________________________.Today, Ayub teaches many children at his school in a public park. Some of the children attend other schools in the morning, but come to Ayub in the afternoon to get help with their homework.Ayub has helped a large number of poor children since he began teaching. Many of them come from very poor areas near the park.Ayub said, “I used to argue with kids who worked ‘Why are you washing someone’s dishes or their clothes? Why don’t you study?’”One of the children he advised to attend classes was Farhat Abbas. Ayub found him working with his friends about 12 years ago. “He followed us back home. He told our parents he wanted to teach us and asked them to send us to his school,” Abbas said.Today, Abbas is taking classes at a college and is helping Ayub.Many children are out of school, and those who do attend classes often get a poor education.

Burton is one of Europe’s oldest wildlife parks. Here you can see wild animals from all over the world –and they’re not in cages. Before we start, we have some information for the animal’s safety and for your own. First, please stay in your car at all times. If there is an emergency (紧急情况) or your car breaks down, please use your horn (喇叭) and lights and a person will come and help you. If you would like to stop, please do so on the left side of the road, so the traffic will pass on the right.Please don’t feed the animals. Our animals are fed on special diets and your food could make them ill or even kill them.We’re starting our tour with some of Burton’s most interesting animals, our four white rhinos (犀牛) from South Africa. The white rhino doesn’t get its name from its colour; the African word white means wild. The white rhino has a wide mouth and it helps the animal to eat grass. Sadly, there are very few white rhinos left because humans hunt them for their valuable horns (角). They can be made into things like handles (柄，把手) for knives.43. Who is the speaker?A. A guide.B. A tourist.C. A climber.D. A chairperson.44. Which sentence is TRUE about Burton?A. It’s a new wildlife parkB. Animals in Burton are kept in cages.C. Traffic there keeps to the left.D.

They use it to find things under the water. Many scientists also believe dolphins can even talk to each other through a special whistle (哨声). People from different areas don’t speak the same language. Just like people, dolphins’ whistles ha ve many kinds. One day we may understand dolphins’ whistles, and then they will be able to tell us about themselves.Dolphins live in the sea, but they are not a kind of fish and they don’t lay eggs. They have babies in the same way as cows and cats do, and give their babies milk. A female dolphin has a baby every two to three years.Dolphins are very friendly. Sadly, there are not many kinds of dolphins left. People killed them for many years for food and other things. Now it’s time to stop this and per haps there will be more of them in the years to come.46. If a dolphin weighs 240kg, how much of fish may it eat every day?A. 5kgB. 16kgC. 30kgD. 35kg47.

They also said that in the past 100 years, as the global (全球的) temperatures went up by 0.74 ºC, the temperature in North China has gone up by 1.4 ºC in only 50 years.China needs to take quick action to cut carbon dioxide emission (排放), because it’s the main reason for global warming. We plan to cut energy use by 20% and pollution emission by 10% in the 11th Five-Year Plan.Can you slow global warming? Sure! You and your family can take steps to cut the amount of carbon dioxide that is sent out into the air.Here are some pieces of advice to help you save the earth. Wear used clothes.
