We Chat, the Chinese social media smartphone app, saw an increase in user numbers of 41 per cent year on year to 500m at the end of 2014, in a sign that parent company Tencent is extending(拓展) its reach for the mobile internet. Revenue grew 24 per cent to Rmb20.98billion, slightly higher than forecasts, driven mainly by online gaming revenues.
It is unclear how much WeChat contributed to Tencent’s revenues but the app’s growth is a strong indicator of the company’s long-term health as it tries to adjust its business to be more suitable for mobile devices.
“We extended our leadership in games and online media, and made breakthroughs in emerging platforms such as online security?.?.?.?and mobile payments,” Ma Huateng, Tencent chairman, said in a statement.
WeChat is the second highest ranked app in China, behind QQ, Tencent’s other chatting app, which claimed to have 815m registered monthly users at the end of 2014. However, that figure is more than the total number of internet users in China, which the government puts at 640million.
Tencent has been unwilling to earn money through WeChat by flooding it with advertising, which could reduce efforts to increase the user base. But this is expected to change. Some analysts predicted that advertising would be introduced on later this year. Early attempts to test ads on the service have not always gone smoothly. After a BMW ad was introduced on some users’ feeds in January, many users complained of “discrimination” by Tencent’s data mining algorithm. They said it unfairly considered them as not wealthy or successful enough to view the sought-after BMW ad.
1.What is the main driving force of the Tencent’s income growth?
A、QQ B. WeChat
C. Online gaming D. Advertisments
2.What can we learn from the passage?
A. WeChat contributed most to Tencent’s profits.
B. WeChat is ranked behind app QQ in China.
C. Tencent wants to earn more through QQ
D. More advertising would not be introduced later this year.
3.What’s some users’ reaction after a BMW ad was introduced?
A. Unfair B. Untouched
C. Unclear D. Uninterested
4.What’s the best title of this passage?
A. WeChat , the Most Popular APP in China Now
B. Mobile Internet, the Most Potential Market for Tencent
C. Advertisements, the Most Important Part of Tencent’s Income
D. Tencent, the Most Influential Company in China

Scientists have proved that sleeping and learning go hand in hand. Even a short nap can boost our memory and sharpen our thinking. But the relationship goes deeper than that.
“The brain is not passive while you sleep,” scientist Anat Arzi said. “It’s quite active. You can do many things while you are asleep.”
Arzi and her coworkers didn’t try to teach the sleeping volunteers any complex information, like new words or facts. Instead, the scientists taught volunteers to make new connections between smells and sounds.
When we smell something good, like a flower, we take deep breaths. When we smell something bad, we take short breaths. Arzi and her co-workers based their experiment on these reactions.
Once the volunteers fell asleep in the lab, the scientists went to work. They gave them a whiff of something pleasant and meanwhile played a particular musical note. They didn’t wake up, but they heard—and sniffed(吸气) deeply. Then the scientists gave the volunteers a whiff of something terrible and played a different musical note. Again, the volunteers heard and smelled—a short snort this time—but didn’t wake up. The researchers repeated the experiment.
After just four repetitions, volunteers made a connection between the musical notes and their paired smells. When the scientists played the musical tone that went with good smells, the sleepers breathed deeply. And when the scientists played the musical tone that went with bad smells, the sleepers breathed briefly—despite there being no bad smell.
The next day, the volunteers woke up with the sound-smell connection. They breathed deeply when hearing one tone and cut their breaths short when hearing the other, which must have been unusual for them. Imagine walking down the street and taking a deep breath upon hearing a particular sound!
1.In the study, the volunteers were taught _______.
A. to become active during sleep
B. to tell the difference between smells
C. to learn new words and scientific facts
D. to make sound-smell connections
2.How did the volunteers react when smelling something nice and hearing musical notes?
A. They took a deep breath.
B. They had a wonderful dream.
C. They woke up at once.
D. They took a short breath.
3.When the volunteers woke up the next day, they_______.
A. learned how to play to musical tones
B. forgot what happened during their sleep
C. continued with the sound-smell connection
D. changed their reaction when hearing the sound
4.The passage mainly tells us _______.
A. special smells and sounds can improve our memory
B. our brain can actually learn something new during sleep
C. the volunteers will always hear similar sounds on the street
D. our brain can tell the difference between smells during sleep

Question: Which program is in Guinness World Records as the world’s longest running TV quiz show? Answer: “It’s Academic.”
“It’s Academic” is a Saturday morning program for high school students. The show has been broadcast in the Washington area for fifty years.

Mac McGarry has asked more than 200,000 questions and gotten more than a few funny answers.
Kelly Reeder led the team from Rockville High School in Maryland last year. Her school has won the championship on “It’s Academic” several times. She says, “We have put in a lot of effort over the years. It’s a really huge honor to end up on the A Team. My friends who are on ‘It’s Academic’ think it’s cool that I’m the captain of the A Team, but my friends who are not on ‘It’s Academic’ think it’s kind of funny.”
