22、   People read books less often these days. With the invention of radio, television and most recently, the Internet and computer games, it seems that reading books is no longer a popular activity. However, I believe that books are still an important part of our lives.

Books offer the outstanding wealth of learning and at a much lower price than taking a course. Books can make people much cleverer, because heavy readers have greater knowledge of how things work and who or what people are.

Everything in today's society requires reading. Imagine trying to do something as simple as reading the directions on a medicine bottle without good reading skills. Someone may not understand them and become very sick or even die.Even something as simple as walking or driving through the city could as become very dangerous without enough reading. Sometimes, you must be able to understand what is written and explain the meaning of them.

Some people say that reading is a waste of time and we can do better things with our time. Even if we don't read books, we still read every day, and reading books can strengthen (加强) our reading abilities. Reading is one of the greatest things we can do in our spare time. With a book, you can travel anywhere you want, do anything you want, and talk to anyone you want. Reading is very important in our lives. So I think people should read books.

【1】What activity is less popular these days than before?

A.Reading a hook. B.Listening to the radio:

C.Watching TV. D.Surfing the Internet.

【2】We can learn from the second paragraph that_____

A.reading can make your memory better B.reading can make you interesting and attractive

C.reading can make you smarter D.reading can reduce stress

【3】The underlined word "them" in the third paragraph means______.

A.the books they are reading B.the directions on a medicine bottle

C.the good reading skills D.the words a doctor tells a sick person.

【4】Some people don't agree to read books because they think_______.

A.walking in the city also needs reading skills B.driving along the road is dangerous

C.reading books is very helpful for our abilities D.reading books just wastes their time

【5】Which is the best title for the passage?

A.People should enjoy themselves B.How we improve reading skills

C.Why people should read books D.What we love doing in spare time

23、Rethinking “Smarter” Cities

The idea of “smart” cities was first put forward in the 1970s. Since then, it has spread to more and more countries. People hoped new technologies could help them live happier lives in cities.

Governments aren’t the only ones interested in building “smarter” cities. Many companies see the smart city program as a great chance to make money. Leading tech companies have all offered their smart-city solutions. However, many project designers don’t have a clear idea of what they are going to achieve. They proudly show off exciting new technologies like 5G, but they don’t know how to use them to solve real-world problems. In other words, they sound more like tech sales people than city builders.

This can cause many problems. City planning should always center around one question: What can be done to improve people’s living conditions? Private companies, however, have to take care of their own business interests first. Their answer to every problem is simply more technology. Their solutions often have nothing to do with people’s daily lives.

Sometimes, the problem is not a shortage of “smart” technologies. For example, self-driving cars are certainly “smarter” than bicycles. However, they may cause much more traffic jams. They don’t really make the city a better place to live.

City managers should carefully think about the kind of life to provide for people. Planneres and tech developers should work according to this blueprint（蓝图）. They should stop worrying about making our cities “smarter” and start to focus on making them better.

【1】Which of the following “interest” has the same meaning as the underlined one in Paragraph 3?

A．By then, I’ve lost interest in the game.

B．Her main interests are music and tennis.

C．You can find many places of interest in Guangzhou.

D．The law was made to protect the interests of the local people.

【2】According to the writer, what should be the first step to build a better city?

A．We should be able to avoid traffic jams.

B．Companies should take care of their business interests.

C．Companies should develop more technological products.

D．City planners must think about a better life for their people.

【3】Why does the writer use “rethinking” in the title?

A．We should have more ideas for smarter cities.

B．Better cities are more necessary than smarter ones.

C．Bicycles will make city lives more enjoyable than smart cars.

D．Companies should think of more solutions for their own problems.

When I was young, my father told me that some acts of 【1】 /lʌv/ may give someone happiness. So I always try my best to help others.

I was hot and tired, but I 【9】 /'ri:əli/ felt good after an act of kindness to the man.

【10】 (help) others is the source (源泉) of happiness. That’s true. We should lend a hand to others in trouble.
