One day, his grandfather said to him, “Mario, I don’t think you have as many real friends as you think.” Mario disagreed with his grandpa. However, he wasn’t sure what he should do to test it.

The next day, Mario took the strange invisible chair to school. At break time, he asked everyone to come. “Nobody moves. You’re about to see something amazing.”

Do you know you can multiply（做乘法）two numbers by drawing just a few lines Line multiplication was invented many centuries ago. This handy math game might help you when you don’t have a calculator（计算器）.
Work out the place values（位值）of your numbers. For example, you are calculating 34×12. The first number has a 4 in the ones place and a 3 in the tens place. Your second number has a 2 in the ones place and a l in the tens place.
Draw parallel lines to represent（代表）the first number. Draw three lines to represent the tens place. Draw four lines to represent the ones place.
Draw parallel lines to represent the second number. Draw one line to represent the tens place. The line should cross over the lines from the first number. Then, draw two lines below it to represent the ones place.
Draw dots（点）at each point where the lines meet each other.
Circle the dots representing the ones place and add them up. Here, you would count eight dots. So the ones place of your answer will be 8.
Circle the dots representing the tens place and add them up. You would count 10 dots here. Like any time you add or multiply, once a digit（数位）reaches 10, you need to carry（进位）. In this example, you would put a 0 in the tens place and carry the l over to the hundreds place.
Count the dots representing the hundreds place. You would count three dots here. Don’t forget the 1 you’ve carried over. Calculate 3+1, and the hundreds place of your answer is 4.
Write down your answer. For 34×12, the answer is 408.
56. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the number 408
A. It has a 8 in the tens place. B. It has a 0 in the ones place.
C. It has a 4 in the hundred place. D. It has a 8 in the hundred place.
57. The underlined part “parallel lines” refers to lines that ________.
A. are of the same length B. are in different shapes
C. meet each other somewhere D. never cross each other
58. If you are calculating 15 x41, which of the following picture should you draw
A. B.
C. D.
59. If you are calculating 23×31, ________.
A. you would draw 10 lines in total
B. you would put a 1 in the tens place
C. you would count 7 dots for the hundreds place
D. you don’t need to carry as the digit doesn’t reach 10
60. What does this article mainly teach people about

With the development of technology, our city life is becoming more and more“smart”.
In recent years, Chinese technology companies have worked hard to speed up the use of robotaxis（萝卜快跑）. Robotaxis are driverless taxis, which make travel more convenient and comfortable. With sensors（传感器）and cameras all over the car, a computer controls the drive.
In June 2019, the company started testing robotaxis in Changsha. In 2020, it officially began the test service in some areas in Changsha, Cangzhou and Beijing. As for now, manned（载人的）services are carried out in 11 cities. In the first three months of 2024, bookings（预定）for driverless taxis in Wuhan took up 55% of all taxi services. And it is expected to see a rapid growth in the future.
People can book robotaxis at any time of day through apps like Apollo Go or Baidu Map. Takinga robotaxi is indeed cheaper than a traditional one. The taxi is clean and smart. “With no driver in the car, I can avoid communicating with others, making it easier to rest,” a rider in Wuhan shared his experience online.
Every coin has two sides. Robotaxis also have some drawbacks. Besides the safety problems, the rising need for lower-priced robotaxi worries taxi drivers. What’s more, “The waiting time is long, taking 8-10 minutes from order to arrival, and the driving speed is slow, not a good choice for passengers in a hurry,” one rider complained.
Even with many problems, there’s no doubt that driverless technology has gradually become part of our life, and it will change the world. This requires us to look at it correctly, think calmly, and openly welcome the arrival of each new technological change.
61. What have China’s technology companies worked on according to the passage
A. Driverless taxis. B. Robotaxi sensors. C. Safety apps. D. Robotaxi Maps.
62. Paragraph 3 mainly talks about the ________ of robotaxis.
A. risk B. future C. bookings D. development
63. What’s the advantage（优势）of robotaxis
A. People can book the taxis on any apps.
B. People can communicate with the driver freely.
C. They can run faster than traditional taxis.
D. They cost less than traditional taxis.
64. How many drawbacks are mentioned in Paragraph 5
A. 2. B. 3. C. 4. D. 5.
65. What is the author’s opinion towards the growth of robotaxis business
A. Doubtful B. Supportive. C. Unclear. D. Not interested.

China is the country that eats the most watermelons in the world. It’s not because foreigners don’t like watermelons but “they can’t afford them”. Do you know why 66
It’s reported that a kilo of US watermelon is about $6.91 in New York, which is about￥46 in China. 67 But things are different in China. According to the FAO（联合国粮农组织）, China now is the world’s largest watermelon producer and customer, which helps to keep prices low.
To start with, China has a large land area. 68 With the large output（产量）, the price is naturally much lower.
Secondly, countries like the USA and Australia also have a wide land, but watermelons were not introduced there as early as in China. The local people prefer other fruits that were known earlier to watermelons. 69
Thirdly, according to some reports, it’s true that watermelons in China might taste better. 70 She is an 80-year-old Chinese scientist who spends her whole life on the improvement of growing better watermelons. Thanks to her hard work, we can enjoy more sweetness in our life.
A. Watermelons are also known to be expensive in Japan and South Korea. B. Chinese need to thank Wu Mingzhu for cheap and tasty watermelons. C. Therefore, watermelons are not as popular as other kinds of fruits. D. And the weather is just right for planting watermelons. E. The reason lies in their high price in most countries.

参考范文：
Dear Peter,
I’m happy to hear you want to learn about Chinese red. In China, red is a very special and meaningful color.
We often use Chinese red in festivals and celebrations. During the Spring Festival or Lantern Festival, people decorate our homes with red couplets or red lanterns. We also wear red clothes for good luck and give red envelopes with money to children. At weddings, the couple will wear red dresses to show love and a happy marriage.
Red is also important in traditional Chinese art. One example is spring couplets. They are made of red paper. We put them on doors to bring luck. There are black Chinese characters written in ink on the couplets, which express good wishes for the new year.
Why do Chinese people love red I think it’s a symbol of joy and success, bringing hope and wealth. It also has a meaning of protection because many people believe it drives away bad luck and evil spirits.
I hope this helps you understand Chinese red. I’d love for you to visit China one day!
