21、   It's incredible to think that people haven't even been using the Internet for 30 years. When the Internet was first used, you had to connect through a telephone line and it could be very slow.Things have changed a lot since then. Today nearly four billion people have a mobile gadget(小器具), such as a smartphone, a tablet, or both. And with Wi­Fi in many public spaces, it's easier than ever to connect.

Many agree that mobile gadgets and the apps on them are useful. They make our lives so much easier. We can do things like searching for a word in the dictionary or using a flashlight with just the swipe of a finger! At any time and place, we can send and receive e­mails, play games, or look up information. We can also share photos and videos or chat with friends and family using mobile technology. Smartphones have made it possible to send texts. By 2015, people were sending eight trillion texts per year. It's now the most popular way to communicate.

Because it's so useful, people spend a lot of time on the Internet. Probably too much time! In fact, the average person is online for almost four and a half hours each day. We connect to the Internet with a smartphone more than any other device. Some people worry that we spend too much time with our gadgets. What about you? Do you spend too much time on the Internet?

22、   “Please don’t travel to Wuhan unless it’s absolutely necessary,” Zhong Nanshan, a famous respiratory (呼吸科的) expert, reminded the public when the novel coronavirus first hit Wuhan. But despite the danger, he, 84, rushed on an overnight train to Wuhan to fight the disease.

Zhong Nanshan is known as the hero who defeated SARS in 2003. His image and messages are flooding ( 遍 布 ) social media. Many people say they “trust every word of Zhong”. He has given Chinese people confidence in winning the battle.

A great doctor and honest scholar (学者)

Growing up in a family of doctors, Zhong lives by a simple motto (信条): save lives and always be honest. In 2003, when SARS hit China, he volunteered to treat patients and asked his colleagues ( 同 事 ) to send their most serious cases to him. After months of work, his treatment plan for SARS was adopted ( 采 纳 ) by China and then the whole world, saving thousands of lives, People’s Daily reported.

Zhong is also known for being an honest scholar. In 2003, when authorities (官方) said that the SARS virus was under control, he publicly refuted their claim. “I couldn’t help myself. I said it’s not all under control,” Zhong said in a later interview. His honesty won widespread praise from the Chinese public.

Back to the frontlines

Seventeen years later, Zhong is once again leading an expert team to study the novel coronavirus. Although this new virus is known to be more dangerous to the elderly, Zhong doesn’t seem worried about his own safety.

On January 18, he took a high-speed train from Guangzhou to Wuhan. Two days later, he became the first expert to make certain that the new virus can be spread between humans. On January 29, he and his colleagues spent over four hours online checking five patients who were in serious condition. The next day, he chose the treatment for those patients. Under his guidance, his team developed a rapid test kit (快速检测试剂盒) for the disease that can show results within 15 minutes.

As People’s Daily wrote, “the 84-year-old Zhong Nanshan shows his professionalism as a scholar, courage as a soldier, and a sense of duty as the backbone (脊梁) of our nation.”

【1】Which one would NOT be used to describe Zhong Nanshan?

A.He is an expert. B.He is honest. C.He trusts social media. D.He is brave.

【2】What achievements did Zhong make in the fight against SARS?

A.He was the first doctor to start treating SARS patients. B.He treated the most serious patients online.

C.His treatment plan saved lots of people. D.He stated that SARS was under control.

【3】What does the underlined word “refute” mean?

A.To support others’ opinions. B.To say that something was not true.

C.To mock or laugh at authorities. D.To be in the fight against the disease.

【4】What has Zhong done to fight the disease caused by the new virus?

A.He warned people that the virus could spread between humans.

B.He treated five severe patients in a day.

C.He chose some special patients to receive treatment.

D.The test kit from his team can show results in 15 seconds.

【5】The purpose of the story is to________.

A.encourage people to stay at home B.state the importance of Zhong’s warning

C.guide people to be honest and brave D.praise Zhong’s courage and spirit

23、   Do you want to enjoy a family trip to Europe and save money at the same time? Here are five tips that can help you.

Eat out less often

To save money, try going out for one meal each day and having the rest meals at “home”. Certainly, this isn’t possible if you live in a hotel room instead of a home stay(民宿) with a kitchen.

Travel by train

You can travel across Europe safely, easily and cheaply because of its high—speed trains. Traveling by train costs much less than traveling by air and you don’t have to worry about airport security checks(安检).

Don’t make too many plans

You might feel satisfied when you make days and nights full of tours. However, it’s not a good way of traveling because you may be too tired to enjoy yourself. You’d better just plan to do one big thing each day.

Take part in free activities

Especially in big cities, you’ll find many free or cheap things to do. City parks, museums, squares and the seaside are all good places for kids.

24、Bicycles in China

Bicycles are very popular in China. In our country you can see bicycles almost everywhere.

In China, many families have one or two bicycles.
