22、The world is filled with movies about technology, but none of them could have been created without AI (Artificial Intelligence人工智能). It seems AI is everywhere and makes our life more interesting.

Chongqing is quickly becoming a leader in Artificial Intelligence. People can spend several days experiencing the latest and greatest AI toys at the Smart China Expo(智博会) . Chongqing people are most proud of the Smart China Expo in Chongqing in 2018. For example Lijia wisdom garden in Chongqing is a place where people can deeply experience artificial intelligence. There are driverless cars for adults, robot dogs to entertain children, and music robots that sing songs with teenagers. In 2019, Chongqing Gaoxin District has started building the city's largest three-dimensional( 立体的) parking building. Everyone can park their car there very quickly.

Artificial intelligence is the new rising sun in Chongqing.

Why do I say so? First, many people come to Chongqing because of the Smart China Expo. When Chongqing has more tourists, people here can make more money. Second, AI makes people in life and work get simple and convenient experience, from carrying large bags to holding your cell phone calmly, from always doing housework at home to now waiting for the floor-sweeping robot to serve you. Everything is so fantastic.

Artificial intelligence is double-edged- sword(双刃剑). Some people always worry that it will become the boss of humans, and we may lose everything in the end. But I always have a positive mind that when humans use high technology to make a new thing, we must be smarter than it.

23、   Heavy smoke. Burned-down houses. Burnt land. These can be seen in Australia because of bush fires that burned from September 2019 to March 2020. Around 1.25 billion animals died in the fires, a reporter reported. 

Like millions of others around the world, 18-year-old Rachel Ratelle from the US saw news of the fires. She felt sad as she watched a poor koala(考拉) trying to climb a tree to safety. 

But unlike many people, she decided to do something about it.

She looked for information about wildlife saving organizations in Australia to find out what they needed most. Many groups were asking for hand-made pouches(育儿袋) for animals like koalas and kangaroos that lost their homes and parents in the fires. 

Ratelle wanted to provide these things, but there was just one problem.

“I’ve never sewn(缝) in my life,” Ratelle said. “Giving money seemed like something too simple. I wanted to directly help these animals by doing something myself, so I decided to learn how to sew.”

Over the next month, Ratelle bought her own sewing machine and taught herself how to sew by watching online videos. She sewed 25 pouches of different sizes and sent them to wildlife saving organizations in Australia. 

A week later, she received a photo from an organization with a baby kangaroo in one of her pouches. She said it was a great feeling.

“It made me feel like I gave much help to the world, and it showed how a simple act of kindness can go a long way,” Ratelle said. “I plan to use my new sewing skills to help other animals and people.”

【2】________ in Australia because of the bush fires.

A.A large number of animals were killed

B.More organizations were needed most

C.Millions of people lost their lives

D.A lot of hand-made pouches were burned

A.Because she wanted to make money by herself.

B.Because she would like to offer direct help.

24、When you cough or sneeze, please turn your head away from others and cover your mouth with the full part of your hand. Afterwards, you should say,” Excuse me.” This is a rule I set for my students

It is so simple, but many kinds have never been told to do this. In fact, I notice adults cough and sneeze in public without putting a hand over the mouth. I hate traveling by subway(地铁) in New York during cold and flu season, because it is certain that someone is going to stand right behind me and cough or sneeze on my neck.

One important thing I point out to the kids is that after they sneeze or cough on their hand, they should wash their hands as soon as possible. Otherwise, they will be passing those germs(病菌) along to everything and everyone they touch.

In order to help the kids remember this rule, I tell them about an old story. It says that when you sneeze, evil spirits jump into your body. If you don’t cover your mouth, the spirits will enter, but if you cover your mouth, you will keep them out, We say “God bless you” when someone sneezes, and in Germany you should say “Gesundheit”. That means “Good health to you. “ Both expressions are said just in case you didn’t cover your mouth in time and the spirits were able to enter your body. The kids love finding out the origins(起源) of these expressions and it encourage them to put the advice to use more often.

【1】The writer of this article must be _______ .

A．a reporter

B．a teacher

C．a doctor

D．an officer

【2】What does the underline word ‘this” mean?

A．Don’t cough or sneeze in front of people.

B．Don’t stand beside someone who coughs or sneezes.

C．Many people cough or sneeze on the underground train.

D．Cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing and say sorry.

【3】After coughing or sneezing on their hand, students are advised to _______.

A．say “God bless you”

B．wash their hands as soon as possible

C．go to see a doctor as soon as possible

D．go home and have a good rest
