It was found that 70％ of adults in the audience were unable to remember how to write the word "chan chu". Computers allow people to type characters simply by entering pinyin, and they don' t need to remember how to write them.

"The keyboard age has had a big influence on the handwriting of Chinese characters," Guan Zhengwen, who designed and directed the show said. He added that he hoped to encourage people to keep it alive as an art form.

Hao Mingjian, an editor of a magazine, putting his heart into Chinese characters, said, "Learning Chinese characters goes on throughout your life. If you stop using them for a long time, it is very likely that you will forget them."

Personal information leakage（泄漏） has been common in China in recent years, and many people think it extremely annoying.

According to a recent online survey of nearly 2,000 Chinese, nearly 87 % of interviewees said that their personal information had been leaked, and nearly 50 % complained that information leakage has seriously affected their lives. The survey found that "phone number" "name, age and other personal information", and "family address" are the three main types of information leaked. They are followed by "job and company name" ,"ID card number", and "educational background". The leakage of information can be a lot of trouble. We may get lots of junk messages which are not welcomed. What’s worse, we may lose our money or get into lots of trouble because of this. In a word, our life can be affected.

A company says it has completed the first 3D-printed home recently. The home was shown to reporters and visitors at a music festival.

The building company has developed large 3D- printers that build homes with mortar, a hard and strong

material.　 It　 uses　 robotics,　 computer　 programs　 and　 advanced　 materials　 to　 make houses.

Jason Ballard is the company's chief engineer. "So I'm standing in front of the first 3D-printed home in America. This house was actually printed in high winds, blowing dust and rain." It is important for the printing programmes to operate in bad weather conditions, such as weather disasters. The goal is to print homes in developing　 countries. So the printer has to be light enough to move from one property to the next.

Ballard imagines that someday, many 3D-printers will operate around the world to make homes. "It's actually a lot more simple to build a printer than it is to build a house," he said. "We ran this printer at about a quarter speed to print this house, and completed it in about 48 hours of print time."

The company developed this technology not to make money but to help provide a quick, cheap housing solution for the millions of people who need it most. There are about a billion people that don't have one of life's most basic human needs, and that's safe shelter.

Ballard says his company already works on housing needs with poor families in different areas. But he says that to really make a difference, the program will need to be greatly improved. He added that since the 3D-printing process is so much faster than traditional homebuilding, a whole community could be built in just a few months. He believes over time, people can get the new home below $4,000 with the help of 3D-printers.

1.What kind of building material can be used in 3-D printing according to the passage?

A. light but strong　　 B. light and soft.

C. strong but expensive　　 D. hard and strong.

2.What is the meaning of the underlined word　 property in Paragraph 3?

A. land for farming　　 B. land for building houses

C. land for raising animals　　 D. land for running companies

3.It will take about　　　　 hours to print a house if the printer is at its full speed.

A. 12　　 B. 24　　 C. 36　　 D. 48

4.What is the best title for this passage?

A. The Future of 3D-printing　　 B. The History of 3D-printing

C. The New Use of 3D-printing　　 D. The Instructions of 3D-printing

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been in the news a lot lately. And according to a recent report from the McKinsey Global Institute, about half of today’s work activities could be automated(自动化的) by 2055. Could “teaching” be on that list?

The teacher in the classroom is a human model. When a human teacher is able to show the advantages of learning, learners are more likely to be inspired to work harder and make progress. Even AI with advance technology can’t do this.

So, the chances are that your job is safe for the near future. But it is going to change, and robots will join us quite soon, as teaching assistants.

Recently, a Georgia Tech professor has used an AI teaching assistant in his classroom, which allows him to more effectively manage over 400 students. His AI teaching assistant helps him answer more routine questions, freeing him to deal with some complex problems which are difficult to solve from students.

AI is also being used in South Korea and Japan to help with language learning. Students can go through any variety of conversational practices, and AI can correct mistakes in usage and pronunciation. In fact, research shows that these programs can help solve problems like shyness and frustration(挫败) that can appear when children practice repetitively with a teacher. After all, a robot will not get tired or annoyed no matter how many mistakes a child makes.

This will be the future of AI in the classroom. Should you start packing up your desk? Absolutely not. The bottom line is that these technologies work best when paired with an active human teacher. But it certainly could make your job easier and more efficient.

1.What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A.The present teaching conditions.

B.The advantage of human teachers.

C.The purpose of using an AI teaching technology.

2.What does underlined word “complex” means in Chinese?

A.复杂的 B.普遍的 C.完整的

3.In what way is a robot better than a human teacher?

A.It is more patient. B.It is more creative. C.It is more convenient.

4.Who is the passage probably written for?

A.Students. B.Teachers. C.Parents.

5.Which can be the best title for the passage?

A.What will teachers be like in the future?

B.The benefit of using teaching assistants.

C.Could AI take the place of human teachers?

A Bite of China has become a hot topic of discussion on the Internet in China since it’s first shown on China Central Television (CCTV). This TV program is a documentary series about traditional Chinese food.

According to World Journal, it is a great attraction for more than one hundred million Chinese audience (观众). Most of them don’t see this program as an ordinary food show, because it shows them the value and quality of Chinese food, as well as the changes in society today. The audience are also given the chance to see how hard the cooks and farmers have to work to produce such wonderful Chinese food.
