The coffee story

Kaldi was tired but he couldn't sleep． His goats were awake and very noisy． "Why can't they sleep？"Kaldi thought． 1.They were eating some green plants with little red fruits on them． Kaldi decided to taste the fruits． He ate the soft part of each fruit and the hard things in the centre． 2.He was not tired． He felt more awake and did not want to sleep．

Those hard things were coffee beans， and Kaldi discovered them in Ethiopia more than 1，000 years ago． 3.Perhaps it is true， perhaps not． Nobody knows． But we know that coffee grew first in Ethiopia， and we know that somebody discovered it there more than 1，000 years ago．

4.Arab farmers began to grow coffee plants． People learnt to make a drink from the beans， and they called it qahwa．

For 400 years， only the Arabs knew about qahwa． Then people in Turkey learnt about it． Soon after that， western Europeans began to drink it， and in 1652 the first coffee shop in London opened．

5.Some famous coffee-growing countries are Brazil， Colombia， Indonesia and， of course， Ethiopia Coffee is one of the world's favourite drinks thanks to Kaldi and his goats．

A． At least that's the traditional story．

B． After a minute he began to feel different．

C． Many Arab farmers grew coffee to make money．

D． Now farmers grow coffee in many parts of the world．

E． Coffee was such an important drink during that time period．

F． He couldn't understand the problem so he watched the animals carefully．

G． After that， Arab travelers took coffee plants to Egypt and other Arab countries．

Outside， it's a cold winter's day． Inside a large shopping center， people are hanging around． But then， without warning， a pop song starts to play loudly． A teenager boy walks lazily to the center of the open space， and dances crazily to the music． He's joined by two of his friends， then some of the old people． Within the space of a few seconds， more than sixty people are dancing to the music - all in time and all in step． At first， onlookers are baffled， then they start smiling and clapping． They now know what they're seeing： a flash mob （快闪）．

According to Wikipedia， the term "flash mob" was created by Bill Wasik， an editor at Harper's Magazine， in 2003． Within a year， the phrase had entered the Concise Oxford English Dictionary． Since then， hundreds - possibly thousands - of flash mobs have been carried out around the world， in almost every kind of public space imaginable!

Each flash mob has its own style， but most flash mobs follow a similar formula （方案）． Often， the organizers search for willing participants using social media． Instructions and dance moves are given through email or video download． There are usually several rehearsals （排练） before the big day．

While it's happening， a few lucky passers-by watch it live． Most people who watch it， however， will see it later online． Some of the most popular flash mobs on YouTube have been watched more than 10million times． A famous example is MP3Experiment Eight， a flash mob that took place in New York City in July 2011 with over 3，500 participants． This event differed from normal flash mobs in that much of it was completely silent - and there were no rehearsals．

Flash mobs provide the participants， onlookers and online viewers with a lot of enjoyment and pleasure． For this reason alone， they're a modern， popular art form that should be celebrated．

1.What does the underlined word "baffled" in Paragraph 1 mean？ ______

People have understood that kindness is good for the person who receives help． For example， when we give food to a hungry person， he is blessed． However， scientists have recently begun to study the effect kindness has on the person giving it． What they have found is that doing good is good for the doer． Acts of kindness can improve health， help a person reach goals and even add years to a person's life．

The first study to show the connection between doing good and living a long life was a study on aging． Beginning in 1956， scientists studied a group of married mothers for 30 years． They thought the women with the most children would die first． But the number of children a woman had did not matter． Wealth did not matter． Education did not matter． What did matter was whether they volunteered． Women that volunteered had fewer diseases during their life．

Many other studies have found the same positive effects． Helping other people improves long-term health． The gains are the same for men， women， old people and the young． Those who volunteered had fewer serious diseases than those who did not volunteer． This included diseases such as heart attack， cancer and stroke．

Scientists are researching many possible causes． One possible cause is an increase in antibodies （抗体）， which help fight against disease． One study showed the body produces more antibodies after an act of kindness． This increase in antibodies can last nearly an hour after one act of kindness is finished．

Another one is an increase in a chemical that fights the effects of stress from life． Scientists have found a link between being kind to people and an increase in the chemical oxytocin． Oxytocin is a chemical produced in the brain． It reduces many of the harmful chemicals the body produces under stress．

1.What did the study in Paragraph 2show？ ______

A. Diseases age people fast．

B. Doing good is good for one's health．

C. Women with more kids die earlier．

D. A long marriage leads to a long life．

2.What can we infer about antibodies from Paragraph 4？ ______

A. More antibodies may not be good．

B. They help people reduce pressure．

C. They increase with one's kind acts．

D. The more antibodies， the more oxytocin．

3.How does the author develop the last two paragraphs？ ______

A. By explaining the causes． B. By making comparisons．

C. By introducing a method． D. By describing a chemical．

4.What's the main idea of the text？ ______

A. Everyone needs to be cared for．

B. Happiness is connected with kindness．

C. Try your best to help someone in need．

D. Helping others means helping yourself．

In a big room on the second floor of the New York City Department of Sanitation's East 99th Street garage， 63-year-old Manhattan native Nelson Molina was listening to a Frank Sinatra CD he found in the trash． "The Way You Look Tonight" was playing through a music player． In fact， the entire space was filled with items strangers threw away．"My family kept everything，"said Molina．"Nowadays， people throw it all away．" Molina， during his 34 years as a sanitation worker （环卫工人）， gave these items a second life．

Molina grew up in a housing project with his parents and five other kids in the family and had a habit of picking up unused items at a young age． "My family was poor， so we didn't get much for Christmas，" he said． "I'd go out to look for a toy for my sisters， maybe a truck for my brothers．" He kept his early morning habit secret from his friends， but not out of embarrassment： "I didn't want the competition．"

On the job， Molina had his sixth sense for finding items．"I could tell， sometimes just by the sound， whether a bag was filled with bottles or a different kind of glass，" he said． He kept special finds on the truck， and then put them in out-of-the-way places in the sanitation garage． After almost 10 years， he began showing his discoveries．"It's not a normal practice．"said NYC Department of Sanitation assistant chief Keith Mellis． Recently， a team of New York University students has taken on the task of cataloging （分类） the tens of thousands of objects， in hopes that the collection， which has hardly been open to the public， might one day be shown in an official sanitation museum．

1.Why did Molina go to the garage？ ______

A. To listen to music． B. To clean the space．

C. To keep items he collected． D. To get items strangers threw away．

2.Molina was worried that if his friends knew his morning habits， they would ______ ．

A. stop him B. join in him

C. make fun of him D. take away his items

3.What can be inferred from the last paragraph？ ______

A. Molina had done something meaningful．

B. Molina had difficulty collecting the items．

C. Molina didn't want to show his discoveries．

D. Molina planned to build a museum for unused items．

4.What's the best title for the text？ ______

Seeds on Ice

Close to the North Pole，remote and rocky Plateau Mountain in the Norwegian archipelago of

Svalbard seems an unlikely spot for any global effort to safeguard agriculture. In this cold and deserted environment，no grains，no gardens，no trees can grow. Yet at the end of a 130-meter-long tunnel cut out of solid stone is a room filled with humanity’s most precious treasure, the largest and most diverse seed collection—more than a half-billion seeds.

A quiet rescue mission is under way. With growing evidence that unchecked climate change-will seriously affect food production and threaten the diversity （多样性） of crops around the world，the Svalbard Global Seed Vault （地窖） represents a major step towards ensuring the preservation （贮藏） of hundreds of thousands of crop varieties. This is a seed collection, but more importantly, it is a collection of the traits found within the seeds：the genes that give one variety resistance to a particular pest and another variety tolerance for hot，dry weather.

Few people will ever see or come into contact with the contents of this vault. In sealed boxes，behind multiple locked doors，monitored by electronic security systems, enveloped in below—zero temperatures, and surrounded by tons of rock, hundreds of millions of seeds are protected in their mountain fortress. Frozen in such conditions inside the mountain, seeds of most major crops will remain viable for hundreds of years, or longer. Seeds of some are capable of retaining （保留） their ability to grow for thousands of years.

Everyone can look back now and say that the Seed Vault was a good and obvious idea, and that of course the Norwegian government should have approved and funded it. But back in 2004, when the Seed Vault was proposed, it was viewed as a crazy，impractical, and expensive idea.

We knew that nothing would provide a definite guarantee. But we were tired，fed up，and frankly scared of the steady, greater losses of crop diversity. The Seed Vault was built by optimists who wanted to do something to preserve options so that humanity and its crops might be better prepared for change. If it simply resupplied seed gene banks with samples those gene banks had lost, this would repay our efforts.

The Seed Vault is about hope and commitrnent - about what can be done if countries come together and work cooperatively to accomplish something significant，long-lasting，and worthy of who we are and wish to be.

1.According to the passage, the Seed Vault is ___________.

A. a tunnel where the collected seeds are displayed

B. a stone room that contains the seeds of endangered crops

C. a seed gene bank that stores diverse seeds for future agriculture

D. a lab where researchers study how to maintain the diversity of crops

2.The underlined word“viable”in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.

A. mature B. clean

C. alive D. valuable

3.Paragraph 3 mainly tells us __________.

A. how the seeds are preserved B. where people keep the seeds

C. why the seeds are protected D. what people do to study the seeds

4.We can know from the passage that _________.

A. the Seed Vault offers a solution to climate change

B. most countries took part in rescuing the seed varieties

C. the Seed Vault guarantees to prevent the loss of crop diversity

D. many people originally considered building the Seed Vault unwise

Let us all raise a glass to AlphaGo and the advance of artificial intelligence. AlphaGo，

DeepMind’s Go-playing AI，just defeated the best Go-playing human，Lee Sedol. But as we drink to its success. we should also begin trying to understand what it means for the future.

The number of possible moves in a game of Go is so huge that. in order to win against a player like Lee. AlphaGo was designed to adopt a human—like style of gameplay by using a relatively recent development--deep learning. Deep learning uses large data sets，“machine learning”algorithms （计算程序） and deep neural networks to teach the AI how to perform a particular set of tasks. Rather than programming complex Go rules and strategies into AlphaGo，DeepMind designers taught AlphaGo to play the game by feeding it data based on typical Go moves. Then，AlphaGo played against itself, tirelessly learning from its own mistakes and improving its gameplay over time. The results speak for themselves.

Deep learning represents a shift in the relationship humans have with their technological creations. It results in AI that displays surprising and unpredictable behaviour. Commenting after his first loss，Lee described being shocked by an unconventional move he claimed no human would ever have made. Demis Hassabis. one of DeepMind's founders，echoed this comment：“We're very pleased that AlphaGo played some quite surprising and beautiful moves. ”

Unpredictability and surprises are—or can be—a good thing. They can indicate that a system is working well，perhaps better than the humans that came before it. Such is the case with AlphaGo. However，unpredictability also indicates a loss of human control. That Hassabis is surprised at his creation's behaviour suggests a lack of control in the design. And though some loss of control might be fine in the context of a game such as Go，it raises urgent questions elsewhere.

How much and what kind of control should we give up to AI machines? How should we design appropriate human control into AI that requires us to give up some of that very control? Is there some AI that we should just not develop if it means any loss of human control? How much of a say should corporations，governments，experts or citizens have in these matters? These important questions, and many others like them，have emerged in response，but remain unanswered. They require human，not human - like，solutions.

So as we drink to the milestone in AI, let's also drink to the understanding that the time to answer deeply human questions about deep learning and AI is now.

1.What contributes most to the unconventional move of AlphaGo in the game?

A. The capability of self-improvement.

B. The constant input of large data sets.

C. The installation of deep neutral networks.

D. The knowledge of Go rules and strategies.

2.A potential danger of Al is _____.

A. the loss of human control B. the friendly relationship

C. the fierce competition D. the lack of challenge

3.How should we deal with the unpredictability of AI?

A. We should stop AI machines from developing even further.

B. We should call on the government to solve these problems for us.

C. We should rely on ourselves and come up with effective solutions.

D. We should invent even more intelligent machines to solve everything.

4.What's the author’s attitude towards this remarkable advance in AI?

A. Supportive. B. Optimistic.

C. Doubtful. D. Cautious.

Dear Bobby Brune，

Children learn best when they're having fun. “Jungle Gym Jimmy”is an article for parents and children that teaches playground safety and shows how simply playing can promote good health and fitness. The tips are given through the funny voice of the“tour guide”on the playground，seven—year-old Jimmy. By listening to Jimmy, children learn how to use the equipment safely and how to get the most fun out of a day on the playground.

As a Kid Talk subscriber for the last seven years. I am very familiar with your publication, and feel this article would be a positive addition to the “I Can Do It” section of the magazine. The article is 2，114 words，and has been divided into categories in a way that holds children's interest. Being a mother of four children and using our home as a meeting place for most of the neighborhood，I've had the opportunity to test and confirm that the fun and easy “exercises” offered here are not only effective but are lots of fun for kids.

I've been writing children's stories and articles for several years, and have had many of my stories published in Kids Know Best，a small newspaper that the Cinder Primary School publishes each month. I'm also a founding member of the“Right On Baby”editorial group which publishes a monthly e—zine for parents with newborns, and I’m a contributing editor to “Write Now,” an online site that teaches creative writing.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Claudia Parker

Galaxy saw a man and a woman who communicated with the sign language at the train station when she was on the way home one evening. She noticed that the woman asked the man for the direction. He told her that he did not know. Galaxy decided to help them. She had learned the sign language when she served as a volunteer in the deaf and mute （聋哑） school. Then she showed the woman the direction and left her email address to them in case they needed her help later.

She received an email from that man the next day. Kazrim was his name. Galaxy replied his mail sincerely，They both started chatting online soon after and began seeing each other. Although they only communicated with the sign language, it never bothered her.

Galaxy was fond of him gradually. Obviously, Kazrim was the same too. He presented Galaxy with a bunch of sunflowers and asked her sincerely, “Are you willing to be my girlfriend?”

Galaxy was pleasantly surprised. She requested him to give her some time to persuade her parents.

As she had expected，her parents were very angry after they had learned of their love story.

Galaxy explained，“Kazrim is an excellent and a very optimistic person. He has a very positive attitude towards life and work. He cares for others always. He is 100％ better than the normal. Moreover, the mute is still a human. He should possess a perfect and wonderful love. ”

Her parents asked to see him，then. The very worried Galaxy took Kazrim home a few days later. When they were on the train，Kazrim told her,“I'm going to tell your parents that I'll be looking after you well with all my life!” Galaxy was deeply moved.

As soon as they had entered the house，Galaxy introduced him to her parents. She said,“This is Kazrim. ”Just right after her speech，an unbelievable thing happened. Kazrim threw the gift away and held her in his arms tightly.

He said. “YOU CAN TALK?”It was the same question that Galaxy wanted to ask，too.
