21、Worst Game Ever？
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial is a video game that came out for the Atari 2600 game system in 1982. It was based on a very popular film of the same name. Star programmer Howard Warshaw created it with consultation from the film director Steven Spielberg.
It was July 27th, 1982. Howard Warshaw was hot off the success of his most recent game, Raiders of the Lost Ark. He received a call from Atari C.E.O, Ray Kassar. Atari had bought the rights to make a video game version of Spilberg’s Movie, E.T., which had just been released（发行） in June. Kassar told Warshaw that Spielberg had specifically asked for Warshaw to make the game Warshaw was honored, but there was one huge problem. Atari needed the game finished by September 1st in order to start selling it during the Christmas season.
It had taken Warshaw six months to create Raiders of the Lost Ark. The game he made prior to that took him seven months. He was expected to create E.T. in around five weeks. Warshaw accepted the challenge anyway and production began. Spielberg wanted Warshaw to create a simple maze game similar to Pac-man, but V had a bigger vision. He wanted players to explore different environments in 3D world. Usually companies like Atari have people test games before releasing them, but they decided to skip testing due to time limitations.
The game was a hot holiday item at first. Unfortunately, Atari overestimated how many they would sell. They made 5 million copies and they only sold 1.5 million. Most people who played the game hated it. The graphics（画面）were bad. Game play was awkward. Players got stuck in holes that they couldn’t escape. Some people who stuck with the game grew to like it, but it wasn’t the mainstream success that Atari had hoped it would be.
Too many copies of the game sat on store shelves. One employee remembers the game being discounted five times, from $49.95 to less than a dollar. A newspaper in New Mexico reported that between 10 and 20 semitrailer truckloads of Atari products were crushed and buried at landfill in Alamogordo. Atari lost over $100 million on E.T.. The game was so bad that it was said to have affected Atari’s reputation. The video game industry soon fell into a deep depression, with a profit $3.2 billion in 1983 to just over $100 million in 1985, almost a 97% drop. E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial will long be remembered as one of the worst games ever made, if not one of the causes of the decline of entire video game industry.
【1】What can we learn about Howard Warshaw from the passage?

【3】According to the passage, the failure of the game E.T. may have____
A. destroyed the reputation of the film E.T.

D. made people lose interest in 3D environment
【4】In the passage the author describes Atari’s failure________

22、Successful People
People can succeed in many aspects. Here are some successful people.
Stephen Hawking
Much more than the namesake of Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking, Stephen Hawking is one of the most well-known physicists in the world, and he was able to achieve that in spite of being diagnosed with ALS when he was 21. He can now only speak with the assistance of a computer and has been a full-time power chair-user since the 1980s. His disability, however, has never been an excuse to give up on his desire to study the universe, specifically the framework of general relativity and quantum mechanics. His best-selling book, A Brief History of Time, stayed on the Sunday Times bestsellers list for a surprising 237 weeks.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
A beloved U. S president who helped guide the nation successfully through World War II, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt is considered a great president and the entire time he was in office, FDR was also a wheelchair-user. Upon starting his political career in excitement, he got illness while drinking water at a campground and became disabled from the waist down. Even though it wasn’t made public until years later that he couldn’t walk for fear of the public doubting his ability, FDR proved disability wasn’t a roadblock to being a great leader.
Marlee Matlin
An Academy Award winning actress for her leading role in Children of a lesser God, Marlee Matlin is one of the most successful actresses who are deaf. She has been deaf since she was 18 months old. She also received a Golden Globe Award for her role in Children of a lesser God. Since receiving her Oscar, Marlee has been a character on many TV shows including The Word and Law & Order: SVU, and has appeared on reality shows such as The Apprentice and Dancing with the Stars.
Steven Wonder
One of the most beloved singers alive today, Stevie Wonder is a musician, singer and songwriter who was born blind. He was born six weeks early. The blood vessels at the back of his eyes had not yet reached the front and stopped their growth, therefore leading to his blindness.
Considered a child talent, Stevie signed with his first record label at age 11, Motown’s Tamla label, and he’s been performing since. Over his wildly successful music career, Stevie has recorded more than 30 U. S. top ten hits, including his singles “Superstition” “Sir Duke” and “ I Just Called to Say I Love You”.

23、 The Ayaidah, a Bedouin tribe in north-eastern Egypt, is the last to practice the Bisha’h to determine whether a suspect (嫌疑犯) in a crime is innocent or guilty. They have to lick (舔) a red-hot spoon in the presence of officials. They are guilty, 【1】.
Believed to date back to ancient Mesopotamia, Bisha’h was used by most Bedouin tribes (部落) throughout the centuries, but all except the Ayaidah eventually abandoned it. 【2】. Considered by many of the world’s oldest rude system, Bisha’h was mostly used in situations where a crime was committed, but there were no witnesses. Suspects had to lick a heated spoon to prove their innocence.
The principle behind Bisha’h is that a lying person is nervous and has a dry mouth. 【3】. If they are innocent, they are relaxed, so the saliva (唾液) on the tongue will protect it against the red-hot metal.
【4】. This way not only causes physical harm to suspects, but also often leads to their mental damage.
Today, the Bisha’h is used as a last way, 【5】. It’s also used as a way of scaring suspects into admitting their crimes. For example, if the suspects admit what they had done, there is no need to move on with the Bisha’h. That is considered another weakness of this lie detection system, as some people will accept the blame if it means not having to lick hot metal to prove they are innocent.
A. if their tongue is hurt seriously
B. when they have used these methods
C. So their tongues will be burned by the hot metal
D. when there is no other proof or witnesses available
E. All the countries like the way of punishment
F. This way of punishment is banned in countries like Jordan and Saudi Arabia
G. However, those who are against the punishment think that it is not always the case
24、 This simple little device is helping to deal with one of the most annoying symptoms（症状）of Parkinson’s disease—and its creators have just been awarded more than 1 million dollars.
Danish businesswoman Lise Pape was inspired to develop the Path Finder device after her own father developed Parkinson’s disease in 2014. The device, which is attached to a patient’s shoe and shines a laser (激光) onto the floor, helps to prevent “freezing of gait”: a common symptom of the disease which makes the patient feel as if they are unable to walk.
“People describe it as this feeling of being glued to the floor and being unable to step forward with their feet, despite having the intention to do so,” said Pape. “In fact, 70% of all falls in Parkinson’s disease are thought to be due to this symptom.”
Surprisingly, researchers have found that it is easy for patients to avoid this symptom if they have a visual pattern for them to follow as they walk. That’s why Pape designed the Path Finder laser pointer to display a bright green line in front of the wearer’s feet.
Not only do studies show that the laser device helps to reduce the frequency of freezing episodes (发作), they also say that the Path Finder reduces the length of the episodes as well.
Since Pape founded her Walk With Path company in 2017, the devices have been given to individuals and healthcare systems in Norway, Denmark, Canada, and the UK. Carlos Moedas, Chairman of Research and Science, said: “This device makes a real difference for senior citizens by helping them maintain an active social life as well as their independence.”
【1】What made Lise Pape decide to invent the Path Finder?
A．Her father’s Parkinsons disease.
B．Her father’s expectations of her.
C．Her desire to win the 1 million dollars.
D．Her passion for invention.
【2】What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A．Freezing of gait.
B．A sudden fall.
C．The laser pointer.
D．The intention to walk.
【3】How does the device benefit people with Parkinsons disease?
A．By warning them of falls.
B．By reducing their loneliness.
C．By helping reduce freezing episodes.
D．By improving their eyesight.
【4】What does Carlos Moedas think of the device?
A．Excellent.
B．Ordinary.
C．Expensive.
D．Impractical
