At that time I was working on my school bakery project with my classmates. I tried a few times, but I wasn’t very successful. My parents advised I learn from my grandmother, who later gave me her recipe and instruction as well. After two years’ practice, I was able to make delicious bread. I have come to realize making bread means a lot to me although it takes a long time.To make bread, others usually use quick-rise yeast (酵母), but I don’t. Every Saturday morning, after mixing proper amount of water with flour, sugar etc, I take time to wait for the dough to rise. This is my way to slow down and smell the roses.Baking does require great patience. In my hands, the dough is slowly growing. It’s becoming softer. I can feel the change, which connects me to something quite different from the modern way of living. To me, making bread is a push against our culture of convenience. It certainly takes more time than buying bread from a store, but I enjoy it.I’ve stuck with my grandmother’s recipe without making any change. Now this tradition has continued for years. Sometimes, in order to fit it in, I have to change my schedule. But I have never considered giving it up.By the time my children get home from school, the bread has been baked and cooled. They step into the house and the first thing they do is to take a deep breath of the warm, honeyed air. My bread-baking has also helped them to slow down and understand the value of taking their time and leading an unhurried life.26. How is the writer’s bread-making different from others’?A. She uses less water.B. She uses more sugar.C. She doesn’t bake it a long time.D. She doesn’t add quick-rise yeast.27.Which word best describes life in modern times according to the writer?A. Relaxing.B. Exciting.C. Fast.D. Happy.28.What does the underlined “it” in paragraph 4 refer to?A. The recipe.B. The plan.C. The change.D. The tradition.29. What does the writer want to teach her children to do?A. Do things in a slow way.B. Bake bread at an early age.C. Be thankful for parents’ work.D. Get home from school in time.B①Driving coaches might soon be joining the list of jobs that are replaced by robots in the near future. A company in China has developed an Al-powered driving coach called Robo Coach, andit's already been used in driving schools.②Robo Coach is not a human-like robot that sits next to you and talks about your driving skills. This robot, developed by Beijing Yi Jia Jia Technology, is actually a teaching and safety control system.③Another difference between Robo Coach and human ones is even more amusing. Robo Coach will call you "mommy" or "daddy” .④Besides voice, the system uses a dashboard（仪表板）screen and a smart rear-view mirror （后视镜）to communicate with the learner. Robo Coach uses sensors(传感器）to stop if the car runs into something or increase speed suddenly for no reason, similar to how self-driving cars work.⑤Robo Coach has more than 40 sensors on the car to notice people, other cars and roads. ___▲___ And to make faster decision making, the car is also provided with radar systems.⑥The system doesn't just keep new drivers from meeting accidents. It also collects information on the learner's driving behavior and even body position. It carefully studies their driving habits in real time to see if the learner is too traditional or easy to be angry during practice and then changes its teaching style. By recording all the problems a learner runs into during lessons, the system can help the new driver correct past mistakes and prevent new ones.⑦Robo Coach is now being used in five driver training centers owned by Yi Jia Jia’s parent company as well as other diving schools across China.30.

Camping can be enjoyed in thebackyard or deep in the wilderness. Whether camping for one night or severalweeks, being prepared is the key.Endless funOnce the tent, your base, is put up and the fire area is prepared, there is lots to do. Fishing and hiking are just some of the fun activities. At night, campers often sit by the fire, talking and telling stories. If the weather turns rainy, campers usually wait it out in their tents, reading, drawing or playing games.R equired equipmentShelter, bedclothes, food and water are necessary. Deciding what else you will need depends on the kind of camping trip you are planning and the length of your trip. Pack light if you are going to carry equipment any distance. Clothing should be prepared enough to protect against weather and insects. A hat, whistle, bug repellent(驱虫剂) and rope may come in handy. Don’t forget a flashlight, a compass, cookers and a first-aid box.V arious tentsThere are many types and styles of tents. You should choose your tent based on your needs. If you are camping alone in the backyard, a simple lean-to or small tent may do. If you are camping with your family, a larger cabin tent or camping trailer may be best.Proper locationsWhere you decide to set up your campsite is very important. Look for a high and dry location if it rains. The ground should be level because hills and rocks are uncomfortable to sleep on. A sunny exposure(接触) in the morning with shade in the afternoon is ideal.Green campingWherever you camp, it is important to respect the environment around you. If you are in a park, make sure to follow its rules. Put your garbage and waste in rubbish bins. If you are in the wilderness, keep noise to a minimum and do not disturb the plants or animals.34.

The underlined word “level” probably means “ ”.A. roughB. steepC. highD. flatDAlong the history of human society, it seems that there isn't a civilization without toys, but when and how they developed is unknown.They probably came about just to give children something to do.In ancient times, just like today, most boys played with some kinds of toys and most girls with another.In societies where social roles are strictly divided，boys copy the behavior of their fathers and girls copy the behavior of their mothers.This is true because boys and girls are preparing to step into the roles and responsibilities of the adult world even in the game.Surprisingly, from the history of toys, small changes have taken place over the centuries.The changes have been mostly about workmanship, mechanics and technology.It is amazing that toys are similar in the development of all parts of the world.What's more, toys used to be similar to what they are now.Among people in Egypt, the Americas, China, Japan and the Arctic, generally the same kinds of toys appeared.Changes depended on local customs and ways of life because toys show the real world around the people.Nearly every civilization had dolls，little weapons，toy soldiers，tiny animals and vehicles.Since toys can often be regarded as an art form, they have not been influenced by technological progress.The development from wheels to carriage to automobiles is a straight line.If we compare a rattle（拨浪鼓）used by a baby today to the one used in 3000 BC, we will find it does not appear to be more creative. Every rattle is a product of the artistic taste of the time and is limited by materials.38. Why are the toys for boys and girls different？A.Their fathers and mothers are different.B.Most of the boys are more active than girls.C.Their mothers are more powerful than their fathers.D.
