【題目】 Have you ever taken photos by using mobile phones with selfie ticks(自拍桿)? This new invention is a small, useful and cleverly-de-signed tool.

However, a pair of US artists from New Mexico, Aric Snee and Justin Crowe believe they have invented a better one and they call it “selfie arm”. For better or worse, they have taken the world by storm. It makes those people in the pictures seem to be holding hands with a loved one.

The pair say it offers a far better experience than using a straight stick. The selfie arm makes people feel they are not alone when they take photos. It seems that they are together with their friends. They think their invention solves the main problem that the selfie stick has people look alone while they are taking pictures of themselves with great interests.

The product, at present, just an art project and a model, conveniently provides you a welcoming arm. And better yet in the future, it’ll talk in a friendly way and never get angry or upset. The pair say they are fascinated by these new ideas.

The “selfie arm” is made of fiberglass(玻璃纖維). It is lightweight and easy-taking. The project that they work on shows the growing selfie stick phenomenon (現(xiàn)象)directly and the increasing need for narcissism(自戀) and Internet agreement.

【題目】 When throwing away rubbish, do you know which dustbin it should go in? Have you ever noticed the differently-colored dustbins on the street?

Some of you might not be able to answer this question. However, it's actually quite important to know how to sort（分類(lèi)）your waste. Not knowing how to sort waste can make it harder to save energy and protect the environment.

If you don't sort your rubbish, all of it will go to a landfill（垃圾清理場(chǎng)）and be buried together. These landfills can take up large areas of ground that could have been used for planting trees or crops. The electronic waste you throw away, such as batteries, can pollute the soil and groundwater. Other pieces of rubbish, like the metal part of a pen, can be used to make other things if they are properly recycled.

With this in mind, many cities in China have been running waste-sorting campaigns（活動(dòng)）in recent years. for example, Shanghai announced in 2018 that within three years（2018—2020）, all the people living in Shanghai should sort their rubbish into four groups: wet, recyclable, harmful and dry.

Wet waste is also known as household waste. They are things you don't want but that pigs can eat. Paper, metal, glass and other things that can be reused are recyclable waste.

Many other Chinese cities, including Shenzhen, are using this method to sort their rubbish. Now that you know this, perhaps you can do your part to protect the environment and encourage others to sort their rubbish.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，判斷下列句子正（T）、誤（F）。

【1】If you know how to sort waste, it will help us save energy and protect the environment.

【2】Shanghai will achieve the goal of sorting their rubbish into four groups in 2020.

【3】The food that we haven't finished eating at home belongs to recyclable waste.

【4】Many cities in China are doing waste-sorting work nowadays.

【5】The passage mainly tells us how to recycle rubbish.

【題目】 Everyone expects to live a relaxing life after retirement（退休）, isn't it? However, this is not the case for Mr. Bai Fangli. In 1987, at the age of 74, he decided to continue working as a pedicab（三輪車(chē)）driver. But he didn’t work to make money for himself, but for the poor children who are not able to afford education. Once he started, he never stopped.

Life as a pedicab driver was not easy, but Bai kept working hard. Every day he went out in the early morning and wouldn't return until darkness. He made 20 to 30 yuan each day. After returning home, he put his money in a lunch box carefully. In almost twenty years Bai hardly bought any clothes or a pair of shoes for himself. He gave away all the money he made from his job. By the time he was 88, he had given away more than 350,000 yuan and helped more than 300 poor students return to school.

One winter in 2001, he drove his pedicab to Tianjin YaoHua Middle School and handed 500 yuan to a teacher. He said, “I cannot work anymore, and this is the last money I can give to help others.” 4 years later, he got lung cancer and died when he was 92.
