Anyone who has ever lost keys or money will have wished for a simple but effective way to make sure it never happens again. A US company is trying to help.

Using a tiny microchip which is implanted into the arm, they have come up with a replacement for cash or credit cards that cannot be left at home or dropped on the bus.

The Verichip is about the size of a grain of rice and works using radio frequency identification technology. At a shop, a radio frequency “reader” would send a signal and the chip in your arm would respond with your unique identity number. That would give the “reader” your financial information, and money could be taken directly from your accounts and you wouldn't even have to reach for your wallet.

The company also hopes to include other information on the chip, such as medical records, building security codes (密码) and passwords, making life even easier.

But not everyone is happy with the developments. Critics say that a lot can go wrong with the chip. A clever thief could build a fake (假的) reader that would steal your information without you knowing. So your money could still be stolen. Privacy is a big issue too. Stores, or even the government, only need to track the chip to find out what you buy, how much you spend and where you go.

And if you wanted to get rid of your chip, you would need an operation to remove it.

1.The Verichip is ________.

A．the identity number　 B．the security code

C．a tiny microchip　 　　 D．a radio reader

2.Which is true of the Verichip?

A．Your information on it will always be safe.

B．Medical records have already been included.

C．You can easily reach for your wallet using it.

D．An operation has to be performed to remove it.

“Anyone who offends（冒犯）China will be killed no matter how far the target is.” That is the tagline for Wolf Warriors 2, the Chinese box office hit. It sees a soldier entering into an African war-zone and saving hundreds of lives from Western bad guys. It’s basically the plot of your typical Hollywood action movie, but this time it’s a Chinese man upholding justice and keeping the world safe.

Following in the footsteps of Jackie Chan and Jet Li, martial arts expert Wu Jing is among a new generation of Chinese action stars turned directors. His first Wolf Warrior film came out in 2014, but it didn’t catch much attention. Mainstream movies, especially those promoting patriotism（爱国主义）, usually don’t do very well in China. Wolf Warrior 2, however, has become a phenomenon. The massive response in China also made the film top the global box office worldwide last weekend, beating Hollywood blockbuster Dunkirk.

Many moviegoers said online that they were touched by the patriotic plot. “This movie is the best Chinese action movie,” one social media user wrote. “Shockingly good-hot blood and tough guys. I cried after watching it,” said another.

One reason for the enthusiastic response compared to the first Wolf Warrior film is its improved action scenes. Many in China have praised the film for its fighting scenes and special effects, saying they are of “Hollywood quality”. The movie, which is entirely privately funded, has also been lauded for its attention to detail and reportedly features close replicas（复制品）of many of the latest weapons used by the Chinese army. Timing has also contributed to its success, with the Chinese nation in the times of a new wave of patriotism.

The film first came out just ahead of the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese amy, a hugely symbolic event for the country. Over the weekend, the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) held a grand military parade, which presented the latest weapons of China. In a serous speech, which in parts was not different to lines from the film. President Xi Jinping promised to fight anyone who tried to tear China apart.

1.The text is meant to ________.

A. introduce a recent action movie

B. explain why Wu Jing is a successful director

C. compare Wolf Warriors 2 with Hollywood movies

D. claim that China is a super power in terms of weapons production

2.President Xi Jinping’s speech suggests that ________.

A. no one dares to fight with China

B. the military parade is very successful

C. China will become a developed country soon

D. China will oppose any attempt at national separation

3.The reason why Wolf Warriors 2 becomes a box office hit is that ________.

A. it doesn’t promote patriotism

B. its combat scenes are of higher quality

C. the weapons in the movie are the most advanced

D. Wu Jing is becoming better at directing after failing his first movie

4.According to the passage, which of the following is true?

A. Jackie Chan, Jet Li and Wu Jing were actors at first.

B. Social media users think highly of Wu Jing’s acting skills.

C. In the past, movies about patriotism often appeal to the public.

D. Dunkirk has attracted more audiences compared to Wolf Warriors 2.

5.The word “lauded” in paragraph 4 means ________.

A. encouraged　　 B. praised

C. criticized　　 D. awarded

I received a call today asking if I would be willing to bring food to a family in need. The mother was having a major operation and would be lying down for several weeks. Of course, I responded with an immediate “Yes!”. As I planned the meal in my head, I reflected on how many times over the years I had been asked to prepare food. I have done so countless times with a very open heart.

But the truly amazing thing is that I have received double over the course of my life. When my mother passed away, our house was filled with fresh dinners for weeks.

Anyone who cares about what schools and colleges teach and how their students learn will be interested in the memoir(回忆录)of Ralph W. Tyler, who is one of the most famous men in American education.

Born in Chicago in 1902, brought up and schooled in Nebraska, the 19-year-old college graduate Ralph Tyler became hooked on teaching while teaching as a science teacher in South Dakota and changed his major from medicine to education.

Graduate work at the University of Chicago found him connected with honorable educators Charles Judd and W. W. Charters, whose ideas of teaching and testing had an effect on his later work. In 1927, he became a teacher of Ohio State University where he further developed a new method of testing.

Tyler became well-known nationally in 1938, when he carried his work with the Eight-Year Study from Ohio State University to the University of Chicago at the invitation of Robert Hutchins.

Tyler was the first director of the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford, a position he held for fourteen years. There, he firmly believed that researchers should be free to seek an independent(独立的)spirit in their work.

Although Tyler officially retired in 1967, he never actually retired. He served on a long list of educational organizations in the United States and abroad. Even in his 80s he traveled across the country to advise teachers and management people on how to set objectives(目标)that develop the best teaching and learning within their schools.

1.Who are most probably interested in Ralph W. Tyler’s memoir?

A. Top managers.　　 B. Language learners.

C. Serious educators.　　 D. Science organizations.

2.The words “hooked on teaching” underlined in paragraph 2 probably mean ______.
