Every man is for himself. That seems to be everyone's motto these days. Even a quick stop at McDonald's reminded me of it. Just as I started to pull into the parking lot, a white car cut right in front of me! “Is it really that important to be first " I whispered. The man be-hind the wheel couldn't hear me. If he had heard, he might have had some angry words to shoot back at me right there, just like the lady at the supermarket the other day. I hadn't even said anything to her, when she accused me rudely. Even when I apologized, she still wasn't satisfied. People these days!
I sighed and headed for the drive-thru(汽车餐厅), keeping a safe distance from the car. My faith in humankind was flagging. This is just the way the world is now, I told myself. Just then, the red door at the back of the restaurant opened and a young woman appeared. It was Jessie, who often worked behind the counter.
Jessie was struggling to drag out two oversize watering cans, water splashing over her feet. I assumed she was heading down the path to the flowers. “That's not her job," I thought. The only person working on the flowers was a dark-haired gardener from the land-scaping company. "Maybe Jessie has to do it now," I thought. "Probably cutting costs."
I rolled down my window to order a drink. A blast of hot air blew into the car. Jessie was returning with two more heavy watering cans. The gardener hurried over to her. "I thought it would be easier if I carried these out for you," Jessie said once she'd caught her breath. The gardener's face lit up at this unexpected kindness. Jessie went back to her job inside.
"What happened back there did my heart good!" I called to Jessie. "Mine too. What a day!" she said, My first sip of the drink was refreshing, but not half as refreshing as the reminder to never let negativity color my expectations of people in this world, Good neighbors are everywhere, if I keep my eyes open to them.

Following decades of urbanization(城市化), overexploitation and pollution, China is now experiencing a serious water shortage and flooding crisis, made worse by the climate crisis. Many of these issues lie in the urbanization rate in the country, which has increased by 14.5%since 2008. By 2035, 70% of the Chinese population is projected to live in urban areas, putting huge pressure on urban infrastructure(基础设施), local environments and resources.
The sponge city concept has presented an opportunity for Chinese cities to carry out new integrated urban water management (IUWM) strategies. Sponge city developments seek to control and mitigate flooding, water pollution and water shortage in urban spaces as water becomes China's "most critical resource". These developments are a new type of Chinese eco-city that offer a strategy to hopefully improve the ongoing development and urbanization processes by considering the urban water cycle.
Sponge cities aim to promote positive interactions between socio-economic systems within the cityscape and with the urban water cycle to enhance local urban ability to fight against disasters, particularly in the face of increasing water-related disasters.
Sponge cities are a relatively new concept. Since 2014, there have been two groups of 30 different pilot(试点的) sponge cities across China, with 16 schemes starting in 2015 and 14 in 2016. The pilot studies, such as in Beijing, Tianjin, Wuhan and Shenzhen, are creating practical, localised experiences in carrying out IUWM strategies. The State Council has set 2030 as the target for the sponge cities to be integrated(融入) into regional urban development plans. This target is progressive and ambitious, particularly considering the three major challenges that these pilots have revealed: governance, design and financing. Overcoming these challenges will be vital for the sponge city that is being carried out.
8、What does the author intend to show in paragraph 1
A. The background of a new concept.
B. The reasons for natural disasters in China.
C.The necessity of protecting the environment.
D. The need to control urban migration in China.
9、What does the underlined word "mitigate" in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Block. B. Ease. C.Analyse. D.Guide.
10、What can we learn about the sponge city concept
A. It is a response to the public demand.
B. It goes against urbanization processes.
C.It may be the answer to the water crisis in China.
D. It originally aims at improving the cityscape and economy.
11、What is probably to be discussed following the last paragraph
A. How to handle the challenges.
B. Why the target is hard to achieve.
C. Where the three major challenges mainly lie.
D. What experience the pilot cities have got.
A new technology project in southern Greece is helping visitors experience the ancient birthplace of the Olympic Games. The project used augmented reality, or AR, to recreate temples and competition areas in the ancient city of Olympia. The project lasted for about 18months with a series of imaging flights to help map areas across Olympia. It was recently launched in the city, one of the world's major archaeological sites. Augmented reality, is a technology that can project computer-created images onto special eyeglasses. Through the eyeglasses, the images appear along with other physical objects in the environment.
The project is a partnership between American software maker Microsoft and Greece's Ministry of Culture and Sport. The ministry helped Microsoft map and build virtual representations of Olympia. The city was used for nearly a thousand years to host the games in ancient Greece that served as the model for the modern Olympics. "It's a milestone... that helped us bring technology and culture and history together so we can preserve it," Microsoft President Brad Smith said.
The experience provides users the chance to virtually walk through the ruins of Olympia. At the Olympic Museum in Athens, people can also use Microsoft's AR headsets for a similar experience.
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis joined a group of schoolchildren who were using the app for the first time. "I'm absolutely excited that we're able to present to the world a completely new cultural experience using technology to recreate the ancient world of Olympia," Mitsotakis told The Associated Press.
Students from a local middle school looked at statues and buildings that were brought to life on their phones. They were able to virtually visit inside and outside settings to explore where ancient Olympians had competed in different sports. One of the children, Panagiotis Christopoulos, called the project "impressive". "I think it can help with teaching in schools," the student said.
12、What's the function of the special eyeglasses
A. Producing images.
B.Changing colors of some objects.
C. Making the environment look clearer.
D. Combining the virtual world with the real one.
13、How did Greece's Ministry of Culture and Sport help with the project
A.By raising money for it.
B. By promoting and advertising it.
C.By building the virtual model of Olympia.
D.By building different models of Olympia.
14、What is Kyriakos Mitsotakis' attitude to the project
A. Doubtful. B. Favorable. C.Unconcerned. D. Cautious.
15、What can be the best title for the text
A. Digital project brings Olympics birthplace to life
B. A technology project is helping build modern Olympia
C. The development and application of AR in Greece
D.A good combination of modern and ancient cultures

The angry hunter sent out the baby duck with his broomstick. The ugly duckling spent a long and cold winter alone. Finally spring came. The baby duck had a good stretch and flew up in the air. "Uh! I am flying!" Upon the lake, a flock of white and pretty swans were playing around while swimming. "They are indeed pretty birds." The baby duck became sad. "Those birds may not like me as I am so ugly."
The baby duck tried to run away from the group of beautiful swans. "Hi! Where are you going Come and play around with us!" The baby duck approached the swans hesitatingly. At that moment, the baby duck saw his own appearance reflected in the lake. There was one more beautiful swan gliding gracefully across the water. The ugly duckling who had overcame all suffering finally became a beautiful swan. And so he lived happily with the other swans ever after.
