The girl, Zhang Xiaoxiao, is from a primary school in Henan. She finished all vegetables and rice of the school lunch but left four shrimps. When asked for the reason, the girl, with a clear smile and light in her eyes, said she wanted to take the shrimps home for her mother Hu Mingjun. 1.She is in poor health and can’t do heavy work. Her father is a migrant worker(外来务工人员).

“She said she could not eat them all, but I know she worries about me.” Hu said. 2.她为女儿感到非常骄傲。 Zhang Xiaoxiao often brought fruits and milk home. Hu asked her to eat the food herself.

Some do not meet their parents even once a year. 4.Some children are too young to live in school by themselves, so he and his wife live with boys and girls separately. He understands the situation of the students’ families and helps them. 5.他经常花自己的钱给孩子们买食物。The school lunch has become the best meal for some children.

Zhang Pengcheng hopes the school can help more left-behind children in need of help in the future.

Great BDIA—Beijing Daxing International Airport

Have you ever taken a flight from Beijing Daxing International Airport (BDIA)? It drew attention not just for convenient and environmentally friendly design, but also for its many high-tech facilities(设施) and services.

The new airport, designed by the famous Iraqi-British architect   ( 建筑师) Zaha Hadid. The Daxing airport’s technology centers on passengers’ safety and convenience. The airport was designed in a special way that makes it look like a starfish. This kind of design also helps to shorten the walking distance for passengers.

The airport has also been designed to be environmentally friendly. It uses natural light during the day. Thanks in part to 8,000 rooftop windows, the sunlight can shine directly into the building.

There are less than 10,000 lights in the terminal. The brightness of the lights can be changed according to the temperature inside and how many people are in the building. The lights use 70 percent less power than the lights of the Beijing Capital International Airport, which uses more than 20,000 lights. This can save about 8,850 tons of coal and reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions ( 排 放 ) by 22,000 tons a year, China Daily reported.

The airport has many new technologies that make it smarter and more efficient. It is the world’s first airport with a double-deck departure and arrival (双进双出) design for its building. “Passengers use much less time than they do in any other large airport t of the same size in the world,” Guo Yanchi, the leading engineer in charge of building, told China Daily.

According to the Civil Aviation Administration   of China, 86 percent of check-ins can be done through self-service check-in kiosks and 76 percent of luggage can be checked automatically (自动地) with the help of self-service bag-drop machines. Other technologies, such as a facial recognition system, allow passengers to have a quicker check-in and boarding process.

The airport will also use a robot-operated parking system. Drivers just need to park their cars in given areas. Robots will then carry them to an empty space. When collecting their cars, drivers simply need to scan (扫描) a parking ticket to find out where to collect their cars.

【1】Why do we say BDIA’s design is friendly to our environment?

A．The building of the airport doesn't cost not too much.

B．It can save energy and reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

C．The design helps to shorten the walking distance for passengers.

D．It was designed by legendary Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid.

【2】The underlined word “efficient” in paragraph 5 probably means “ ________ ”

A．modern

B．creative

C．time-saving

D．energy-saving

【3】What do we know from the last two paragraphs?

A．Robots will help passengers board.

B．Passengers won’t need to check in in person.

C．Passengers will spend less time boarding at BDIA.

D．Machines will probably replace human workers at the airport.

【4】The passage mainly tells us ________.

A．how the Iraqi-British architect designed BDIA

B．why BDIA is designed into the shape of a starfish

C．how high technology helps BDIA to be environmental friendly
