That is the difference. While some of us sit around thinking, I would give my whole life to be able to do that, or, I hope that happens to me one day, people like Perlman are getting the job done. They are giving their whole lives to the fulfillment of their dreams.

Passage 3
During the COVID-19 outbreak, many children were isolated at home. They often felt very unhappy as their normal lives were suddenly interrupted and completely changed.
Sproutel Purrble came to save some of these children out of trouble. An interactive (互动的) plush(毛绒) toy which is equipped with seven sensors(传感器) that respond to touch, Purrble's able-to-touch heartbeat speeds up to 135 beats per minute when it senses somebody is playing with it. Kids can then comfort their companion with gentle touching and soft voice, slowing Purble's quick heartbeat to a low continuous sound-calming themselves as well in the process.
Developed through using research from the Committee for Children, a nonprofit and global leader on social-emotional learning, the device aims to help children lean to manage their emotions, such as keeping them calm.
Early research shows that Purrble is doing just that: in a study with 20 families, 19 parents reported that the toy helped their kids calm down when they needed to.“I grew up with a long-time illness as a child and would have loved to have this,”says Aaron Horowits, head of Sproutel, the company which designed the toy.
36. What is Sproutel Purrble?
A. A sensor.
C. An illness.
37.What enables Purrble to calm kids down?
A. Feeling isolated.
C. Responding to touch.
B. A kid.
D. A toy.
B. Having lots of plush.
D. Making different sounds.
38.How do kids comfort Pumrble?
A. Equipping it with sensors. B. Responding to its sound.
C. Touching it gently. D. Increasing its heartbeat.
39. Which of the following designed the device?
A. Sproutel. B. A famous researcher.
C. Aaron Horowits. D. Committee for Children.
40.Which of the following best describes most parents' attitude to Purrble?
A. Unclear. B. Critical.
C. Positive D. Negative.
Passage4
English is spoken by hundreds of millions of people worldwide, but do the development of translation technology and“mixed”languages damage its status(地位)?
For how much longer will English qualify as the“world's favorite language”? The World Economic Organization estimates that about 1.5 billion people around the world speak it-but fewer than 400 million have it as their first language.
English is the world's favorite lingua franca-the language people are most likely to turn to when they don't share a first language. Imagine, for example, a Russian speaker who speaks no French in conversation with a French speaker who speaks no Russian. The chances are that they would use English.
Five years ago,perhaps. But not any more. Thanks to advances in computer translation and voice-recognition technology, they can each speak their own language, and hear what the other speaker is saying, which is machine-translated in real time.
So English's days as the world's top global language may be numbered. That is: the computers are coming, and they are winning.
So is the future of English at risk? I don't think so, although its global influence may become less over the coming decades. Like all languages, it is constantly changing and adapting(适应) to new needs . Until recently,“text” and“friend”were nouns . Now, they are also verbs, as in“I'll text you,”or“Why don't you friend me?”
41. How many people are estimated to speak English as their first language?
A. Less than 1.5 billion.
B. Less than 400 million. C.More than 1.5 billion.
D. More than 400 million.

A. Communicating across different languages.

Charles Darwin( 1809- 1882)was one of the most influential scientists of all time. His theory of evolution by natural selection explained how life on Earth developed, and is the basic concept upon which the life sciences are built.
Darwin's father was a doctor.On leaving school, Darwin followed in his father's footsteps and went to Edinburgh University to study medicine. However, he gave up because he hated the sight of blood. He then went to the University of Cambridge, intending to work in a church.
Darwin discovered his love ofnatural history at Cambridge, where he spent much of his time collecting insects. He graduated in 183I and accepted a place as a naturalist on
board Beagle.The ship's five-year voyage proved to be the most important period in Darwin's life, providing the basis for his future ideas and writings.
He returned to England in 1836 and published an account of his travels, which made him famous.He began to develop his theory of natural selection and published his revolutionary book On the Origin of Species in 1859.This was followed by The Descent ofMan in 1871, in which he applied his ideas to explaining the evolution of humans.
