    “Her grades are fine; I’m not worried about that, but she just doesn’t seem to love learning any more.” Alice’s mum said.

    She’s absolutely right. I’d noticed the same thing about her daughter over the previous two or three years when I’d been Alice’s middle school English, Latin, and writing teacher, and I have an answer, right there on the tip of my tongue, for what has gone wrong. Yet I’m torn between my responsibility to help Alice, and the knowledge that what I have to say is a truth I’m not sure this mother is ready to hear.

    The truth—for this parent and so many others—is this: Her child has sacrificed her natural curiosity and love of learning at the altar(圣坛) of achievement, and it’s our fault. Alice’s parents, her teachers, society at large—we are all supposed to be blamed in this crime against learning. From her first day of school, we pointed her toward that altar and trained her to measure her progress by means of points, scores, and awards. We taught Alice that her potential is tied to her intellect(智力) ,and that her intellect is more important than her character. We taught her to come home proudly bearing grades As, championship prizes, and college acceptances, and not on purpose, we taught her that we don’t really care how she obtains them. We taught her to protect her academic and extracurricular perfection at all costs and that it’s better to quit when things get challenging rather than risk losing that perfect record. Above all else, we taught her fear failure. That fear is what has destroyed her love of learning.

    1.Both the mother and the teacher have noticed that ________.

    A. Alice hates to tell them truth

    B. Alice’s test scores are not so good

    C. Alice chooses several subjects to learn

    D. Alice doesn’t enjoy studying any more

    2.What does the underlined word “torn” mean in the passage?

    A. pained to choose B. guilty to quit C. tired to manage D. certain to decide

    3.What does the teacher think of the girl?

    A. Her academic perfection resulted from her character.

    B. She is a gifted girl with spirits of challenging.

    C. She is perfect in her character development.

    D. Her academic performance is great.

    4.What leads to the girl’s change?

    A. A few failure experiences. B. Fear of failing getting good grades.

    C. Her mother’s over-protection. D. Her not being accepted by colleges.

    As I walked into the drugstore to pick up a roll of toilet paper and cat food the week of Halloween, I found myself being stared down by an oversized Rudolph doll. His eye expression aroused a swell of anxiety within me. This is not because I have an irrational fear of dolls. The red nose is a mocking reminder that for those of us who are members of dysfunctional(功能失调的) families, the most wonderful and challenging time of year is upon us. The issue isn’t that the holiday season brings a new, once-a-year, unpleasant feeling. Rather, this time of year enlarges the most complicated, sensitive area of my life: family.

    Over the past several months, certain situations have left me emotionally raw when dealing with the subject of family, particularly my mom. The holiday season has never agreed well with her, physically or emotionally. Her first heart attack took place two weeks before Christmas when I was in the seventh grade. The song “Jingle Bell Rock” instantly took me back to driving to the hospital to visit her after her emergency heart operation. When I was at grade 2 at high school, we found ourselves awkwardly putting turkey into our mouths after my mom had come from a week-long stay in the hospital to recover from heart attack and a stroke. A girl of 15, due to the gift of having my mom alive and home to celebrate, my heart was contradictory that Thanksgiving.

    1.The author went to the drugstore to ________.

    A. buy some medicine B. buy a doll

    C. buy some necessities D. see her family members

    2.By saying the holiday season has never agreed with her, the author wanted to show ________.

    A. her mother was not comfortable on holidays

    B. her mother didn’t like holidays

    C. her mother didn’t agree with her holiday plan

    D. her mother often disagreed with her

    3.What can be inferred about the author’s family?

    A. Her family may be badly off.

    B. Holidays may be hard times for them.

    C. her mother was a strong-willed woman.

    D. Her parents were not concerned about her.

    Artificial intelligence can ide ntify skin cancer in photographs with the same accuracy as trained doctors, say scientists. The Stanford University team said the findings were "incredibly exciting" and would now be tested in clinics. Eventually, they believe using AI could revolutionize healthcare by turning anyone’s smart-phone into a cancer scanner.

    The AI was repurposed from software developed by Google that had learned to spot the difference between images of cats and dogs. It was shown 129,450 photographs and told what type of skin condition it was looking at in each one.

    It then learned to spot the hallmarks of the most common type of skin cancer: carcinoma, and the most deadly: melanoma(黑色素瘤). Only one in 20 skin cancers are melanoma, yet the tumor(肿瘤) accounts for three-quarters of skin cancer deaths.

    The experiment, detailed in the journal Nature, then tested the AI against 21 trained skin cancer doctors. One of the researchers, Dr Andre Esteva, told the BBC News website: "We find excitedly, in general, that we are on par with excellent skin cancer doctors."

    However, the computer software cannot make a full diagnosis, as this is normally confirmed with a tissue biopsy(活检). Dr Esteva said the system now needed to be tested alongside doctors in the clinic. "The application of AI to healthcare is, we believe, an incredibly exciting area of research that can be leveraged to achieve a great deal of societal good," he said. "One particular route that we find exciting is the use of this algorithm on a mobile device, but to achieve this we would have to build an app and test its accuracy directly from a mobile device." Incredible advances in machine-learning have already led to AI beating one of humanity's best Go players.

    And a team of doctors in London have trained AI to predict when the heart will fail.

    1.From the passage we can infer that ________.

    A. Artificial Intelligence must replace human one day

    B. we can use Artificial Intelligence to cure skin cancers

    C. we can use smart-phone to scan our skin at present

    D. the research will be of great help to us and our health care

    2.Which one will he agree with according to Dr Esteva?

    A. Artificial Intelligence has beaten all of humanity’s best Go players.

    B. Artificial Intelligence could support assessments by GPs.

    C. We still need professional doctors with the help of the system.

    D. There are too many disadvantages for Artificial Intelligence.

    3.The underlined words “on par with” in Para 4 likely mean ________.

    A. inferior to B. equaled by C. superior to D. opposite to

    4.What’s probably the best title of this passage?

    A. Cancer Doctors Are Out

    B. An APP Scanning Skin Cancers

    C. Artificial Intelligence—change our future

    D. Artificial Intelligence—as good as cancer doctors

    Rules on how to be a fit kid

    Being fit is a way of saying a person; a person eats well, gets a lot of physical exercise, and has a healthy weight. 1. . If you're a kid who wants to be fit, here are three rules to live by.

    (1) Eat a variety of foods.

    You may have a favorite food, but the best choice is to eat a variety. 2. . Taste new foods and old ones you haven’t tried for a while. Some foods, such as green vegetables, are more pleasing the older you get. Shoot for at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day—two fruits and three vegetables.

    (2) 3.

    What does it feel like to be full? When you’re eating, notice how your body feels and when your stomach feels comfortably full. Sometimes, people eat too much because they don’t notice when they need to stop eating. 4.. And over a period of time, overeating can lead to unhealthy weight gain.

    (3)Limit screen time

    What’s screen time? It’s the amount of time you spend watching TV or DVD5, playing video games, and using the computer. The more time you spend on these sitting-down activities, the less time available for active stuff, like basketball, bike ridin g and swimming. 5.

    These rules aren’t magic. However, follow them most of the time and you can become a fit kid sooner or later.

    A. Drink water and milk.

    B. Try to spend no more than 2 hours a day on screen time.

    C. Eating too much can make you feel uncomfortable.

    D. If you eat different foods, you’re more likely to get the nutrients your body needs.

    E. Listen to your body.

    F. Ask your parents to help you do your favorite activities regularly.

    G. There’re a lot of discussions these days about fit kids.

    Last week I went to visit to my former neighbor, Mr. Yang. He and I used to living next to each other for many years. About half a year ago, the order came that the old building, along with many other similar ones, was going to be pulled down to make rooms for a main street. So I had to move apart. His new apartment is much big than before. The only problem is that it took quite a long time to get to the downtown area. Therefore, Mr. Yang doesn’t seem to worry about the long distance. He says that new subway line is to be built in a few year and he is sure that life will be better in the future.
