The population aging has become a serious problem in many countries in the world. How to take good care of the old becomes a big problem . The care homes in London come up with an amazing way to stop old people feeling lonely—giving them hens to look after.
The project is dreamed up by a local charity (慈善机构) to reduce loneliness and improve
happiness among the old. It’s also used to help patients with dementia, a serious illness of the mind. Workers in care homes have reported a reduction in the use of medicine where hens are in use.
Among those taking part in the project is 80-year-old Ruth Xavier. She said, “I used to keep hens when I was younger and had to prepare their breakfast each morning before I went to school. I ’ m enjoying the creative activity, and it feels great to have done something useful.”
Wendy Wilson, a care manager at 60 Penfold Street, one of the first to take up the project, said, “People really welcome the idea of the project. We are looking forward to the advantages and fun the project can bring to people here.”
Lynn Lewis, director of Notting Hill Pathways, said, “We are happy take part in the project. It will really help bring our people together through a shared interest and creative activities .”
There are now 700 old people looking after hens in 20 care homes in the northeast. And now the charity is working hard to raise money for the project across the country.

In the world of gestures, the best suggestion is to remember the two A’s—Ask and Aware （意识到). If you see a gesture that is new or puzzling, ask a local person what it means. Then be aware of the body signs around you. Let’s check out three common hand
gestures, the OK-Sign, the Thumb-Up and the V-Sign.
The OK-Sign
This gesture was popular in the USA during the early 19th century by the newspapers that were starting using first letters to shorten common phrases. Use the gesture to tell a French person their cooking is wonderful and maybe they’ll throw you out. In Japan, it can mean money. If you travel internationally, the safest rule is to always ask the locals to show you their insult( 侮 辱 ) signs to avoid any possible uncomfortable situations.
The Thumb-up
When Europeans count from one to five, they use the Thumb-Up to mean one and the index finger（食指）becomes two; but most English-speaking people count one on the index finger and two on the middle finger, in this case, the Thumb-Up will mean the number five; it’s commonly used by hitch-hikers（搭便车的人）who are thumbing a lift; it is an OK-Sign;
and when the thumb is sharply upwards, it becomes an insult.
The V-Sign
Winston Churchill popularized the V-for-victory sign during the World War II, but his two-fingered gesture was done with the palm（手掌）facing out. What about the palm faces
towards the speaker It would be an insult.
56. The best suggestion in the world of gestures is .
A. to ask a local person what they mean
B. to know the body signs around you
C. to check out three common hand gestures
D. to remember the two A’s—Ask and Aware
57. When was the OK-Sign gesture popular in the USA
A. During the early 17th century. B. During the late 18thcentury.
C. During the early 19th century. D. During the late 19th century.
58.How many meanings about the Thumb-Up gesture are mentioned in the passage
A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5
59. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. When Europeans count from one to five, they use the Thumb-Up to mean one. B. You can use the OK-Sign gesture to tell a Frenchman their cooking is wonderful.
C. Most English-speaking people use the Thumb-Up to mean the number one.
D. If you do business with Japanese, you can’t use the OK-Sign gesture to mean money.
60. Which gesture did Winston Churchill use during the WorldWar II
A.
B.
C.
D.
D
There is great excitement and argument（争论）over Artificial Intelligence（AI, 人工智 能）. The argument about whether robots will replace teachers in the classroom is very heated. Some people think it is sure to happen in the next ten years. Others think that the value a good teacher brings, not only to the classroom setting. but in developing a child’s confidence and
creativity outside lessons, cannot be easily replaced.
AI is not new for us and is already being used successfully in many fields, such as medicine, science and so on. So what does this mean for our future In my view, AI will help kids to think more freely and creatively. Can AI possibly cut down the teaching work in the future, too Of course. Our teachers are always busy preparing materials for their lessons, Just imagine how happy they would be if they don’t have to copy hundreds of paper, but instead,
have this task or others done by machines.
However, most importantly, I do not believe AI will be able to imitate the human mental condition totally, especially emotional intelligence（情商）. What makes learning unforgettable is shared experience, human interaction（互相作用）, and long-lasting positive relationships. For example, experienced teachers can comfort a student if he has suffered a serious loss. But
it hasn’t been proved that robots can imitate this well.
I also believe we need to continue to celebrate our kids ’ personality and their ability not only to make decisions but also make the right decisions. These are skills that they can get as
they get more life experience and are given the space to experiment.
To what degree can teachers use AI in their classes You can have all the data（数据）you
like with the help of AI, but great teachers will also need to depend on their own feelings.
61. The writer starts the passage by .
A. telling stories B. comparing views
C. raising questions D. giving suggestions
62. We can learn that some people think a good teacher might be able to .
A. use AI as much as possible in the class teaching
B. help kids think more freely and creatively than AI
C. have high intelligence to deal with the heavy teaching work
D. develop a child’s confidence and creativity outside the lessons
63. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A. Why teachers can be replaced in classrooms.
B. There is argument over Artificial Intelligence.
C. How helpful AI can be to both students and teachers.
D. AI is only being used successfully in education.
64. What’s the structure of the passage
65. Which example can be shown that the human teacher is important
A. A teacher gives lessons to students.
B. A teacher use modern way to teach students.
C. A teacher comforts a student who failed the exam.
D. A teacher checks hundreds of paper by himself every day.
