A long time ago, there lived a very old man. He was so old that he could not see or hear very well. He also could not walk very well, or eat very well for his hand shook. The old man's son and daughter-in-law thought he might make trouble at table. So, they had him eat his meals in the corner of the kitchen without a table.

They gave him very little to eat. The old man would have a sad look on his face as he looked at his son and daughter-in-law’s dinner table. One day the old man’s hand shook so terribly that he dropped his dish on the floor. The daughter-in-law became angry and shouted at the old man. And after that, his meals were served in a broken dish.

Not long afterwards, the family was sitting having their dinner while the four-year-old grandson was sitting on the floor carefully checking pieces of wood. The father asked, “What are you doing?” “I am making a small bowl.”

“Why are you making it?” The son answered. “So that I can fill it with your and mother’s food when I grow up.”

The old man’s son and daughter-in-law looked at one another and without saying a word started crying. The two quickly brought their old father to their dinner table.

The local government of Haidian and the Internet company Baidu had an agreement in January, 2018. They wanted to develop “smart city” building together. Haidian Park was chosen by them. Why was Haidian Park chosen? It is because the park covers about 34 hectares(公顷)near the 4th Ring Road. And it received about 1.2 million tourists last year.

People can experience different artificial intelligence here.

Che Jianguo said that a total of 10 government departments and companies took part in the rebuilding of the park over the past 10 months. He comes from the park office and he is in charge of the program.

In recent years, Chinese high-tech companies begin to do some things in the artificial intelligence industry. The central government also said in October that it would help the development of the country's new generation of artificial intelligence.

China's telecommunication giant(通讯巨头)Huawei has launched an App called Story Sign that will make it easier for deaf children and their parents to read bedtime stories.

The App uses image and optical(视觉的)character recognition(识别)to help deaf children to read by turning written text into a show of sign language. Users can also choose a book from the App's book library that is shown in sign language using active characters. The first book on the Story Sign platform is the popular children's book Spot the Dog. The developers aimed to make the App's main character Star interesting for both boys and girls.

“We created Story Sign to help make it possible for families with deaf children to enjoy a colorful story time,” said Andrew Garrihy, Huawei's CMO for Western Europe. “We hope that by making people realize the deaf literacy issues(识字问题), people will be encouraged to give support to one of the fantastic charity partners whom we are working with.”

There are about 32 million deaf children around the world. Many struggle(挣扎)to learn to read, often because of a lack of resources that bridge the gap between sign language and written text. The App gives deaf children a tool that its creators hope will make it easier for them to read. The App can be downloaded from App stores in 10 different languages, including English, French, German and Italian.

1.With the help of Story Sign,deaf children can_____________.

A. B. C. D.

2.What can we know from Paragraph 2?

A.The App is free for the first three months to use.

B.The App can turn the texts of the books into sign language.

C.The most popular book on the platform is Spot the Dog.

D.The blind people also can use the App to enjoy themselves.

3.Which of the following is the first book on the Story Sign platform?

A.Spot the Dog. B.Bookworm. C.At the park. D.Charlotte's Web.

4.The developers tried to make the main character _____________for all kids.

A.easy B.funny C.familiar D.difficult

5.Where does the text probably come from?

A.A history textbook. B.A health magazine.
