historic Notre Dame Cathedral （巴黎圣母院） in Paris，France，on Monday，April 15，2019．People looked on with shock．One of the greatest architectural treasures of the Western world was burning． For around 800 years， the cathedrals top towered above Paris． The fire sent it falling to the ground． Then，it spread to one of the cathedral's landmark towers． Both towers were saved in the end． However， two﹣thirds of the cathedral's roof burned to the ground．"Everything is burning，nothing will remain from the flame，" said Notre Dame spokesman Andre Finot． It's been 800 years that the Cathedral watches over Paris， Pascal， a French historian， said "Happy and unfortunate events for centuries have been marked by the bells of Notre Dame．" He added that the flame marked "the destruction of invaluable heritage．" The cathedral is home to a huge number of artworks． It is also known as one of the world's most famous tourist attractions which receives almost 13 million visitors each year， more than the Eiffel Tower． It was built in the 12th and 13th centuries． The roof， which has been destroyed by the fire was made mostly of wood．According to the latest report， Chinese experts will join in the renovation （翻修） work of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris． China and France will cooperate on the theme and model of the renovation， and select Chinese experts for the cooperative renovation work in 2020．This cooperation shows the established relationship and highlights the trust between the two countries． The project will greatly expand the fields of Sino﹣French cooperation in terms of cultural

keys， smartphones and wallets． Would it be such a disaster if they left that last one behind？In the near future，it may not be．The physical wallet is disappearing．Think of why people carry a wallet in the first place． They have credit cards， cash a driver's license or other ID in it． Increasingly， however， most of these are being kept in digital form on a smartphone instead． At the airport， people can hand over their iphone or Android handset instead of agent scans a digital boardingpass． At many universities， students can use their smartphones as their student ID． In fact， lots of people are using their smartphones to pay without cash or credit cards． They do it with apps like Alipay and Apple Pay．However，the wallet is not going to disappear overnight．Habits like carrying a wallet are tough to break． For all the talks of a cashless society， physical currency is not going away anytime soon， Yet， 68 percent of smartphone owners say that smartphones will eventually replace wallets． Survey Monkey Audience surveyed 1， 218 of them last month， When asked， nearly half （45 percent） think wallets will be no longer useful in five years or less． Such an outcome remains far off for Seth Buchwalter． He uses his iPhone for digital payments． However， he also does not really want to get rid of his wallet entirely． He argues that people know what it is like to lose a phone or break it． They have had the battery （电池） run out． If their phone is their only wallet， what do people do when that happens？Concerns about security are one key reason people do not feel comfortable getting rid of their wallets． Fifty ﹣eight percent of Survey users agree． They want better phone security before they stop using their physical wallets．There are other arguments about ignoring the wallet． Forty﹣three percent of the smartphone owners in the survey want to see longer battery life before they stop using their physical wallets altogether．The early stages of making this happen are underway．No doubt about it，smartphones are replacing wallets． Leaving the house without a wallet might soon not be a big deal．（1）Which paragraph gives examples of things people already use their smartphones for？A． Paragraph 1．B． Paragraph 2．C． Paragraph 3．D． Paragraph 4．（2）Why do some people hesitate to rely completely on their smartphones？A． People may get into trouble if they break their

live long． Hawking stunned doctors by living with the illness for more than 50 years．In 1985， after getting a lung infection， Hawking needed to use a tube to breathe． After that， Hawking had to communicate through an electronic voice synthesizer that sounded like a robot．Still， Hawking continued his scientific work． Through his work， Hawking searched for the great goal of physics， which he called a "theory of everything．"In later years， though， he suggested a theory like this that might not exist． But one can't help asking the question： Why does the universe exist？ He said in 1991． Hawking said he was unsure how to give that question an answer or a meaning．His best﹣selling book and his almost total disability made Hawking famous． He even made TV appearances on The Simpsons and Star Trek． A movie made in 2014 called The Theory of Everything was based on Hawking's early life． Other scientists honored him with creating new excitement for science． And he showed that even the most severe disabilities could not stop people from living．（1）What does the underlined word "stunned" paragraph 4 mean？A． shocked．B． impressed．C． puzzled．D． satisfied．（2）What can we learn from the
