         2 . Surprisingly enough, the butterfly is  3  to fly. If the butterfly doesn't struggle(挣扎;奋斗) to leave the chrysalis, it can't fly! The struggle develops the  4 in the butterfly which makes it fly. Similarly, the challenges of life bring out the best energy in young people and make the fly.

        When people are  5, meeting and overcoming challenges will make them strong and ready to face life bravely in the rest of their life. When we look at  6  people, we see that the most successful of them are people who have had to struggle. One famous  7, who now owns many big supermarkets, used to carry clothes on his back and  8  them from door to door to make money when he was young.     Another successful man is Dennis.

        China and western countries may have different cultural beliefs about certain animals, but when it comes to pigs, we have somehow reached an agreement - that pigs are ugly, lazy, stupid and shameless.

        Just look at the idioms and phrases in our languages. In Chinese, we have the expressions of "Boiling a dead pig", and "A pig looking in the mirror is still a pig". And in English, there are expressions such as "eating like a pig" and "sweating like a pig". None of them are exactly complimentary.

        But the truth is that pigs do have some fine qualities(品质). And there's probably no better time to clear their names than now, for it is the Year of the Pig on Chinese Spring Festival, which falls on Feb. 5 this year.

        It is true that science long ago proved that pigs aren't stupid at all. According to a paper published in 2017 in the International Journal of Comparative Psychology, pigs are mentally and socially similar to dogs and chimpanzees(黑猩猩). They like to play. They have good long-lasting

    memories. And they know the differences between those who treat them well and those who don't.

        There are lovable pig characters in cartoons too. Peppa Pig, for example, a UK animated television series that began in 2004, has now become one of the most popular cartoons in 180 countries. The four members in the cartoon's pig family teach children from all around the world about love, friendship, and the value of family. And in China, the adventures of McDull, a piglet who works hard towards his dreams even though he keeps failing, have been made into films since 2001.

        "People are putting too much emphasis on efficiency and immediate results, but McDull is slow and patient, and not afraid of repeated failures," said McDull's creator Brian Tse when she was promoting the 2009 film McDull, Kung Fu Ding Ding Dong in Beijing. "He has a heart of gold."

        Perhaps these are the qualities of pigs to keep in mind when we celebrate this Chinese New Year—their intelligence, cuteness, patience and innocence(纯真).

    1. (1) How many idioms and phrases are mentioned in the whole passage?
      A . One. B . Two. C . Three. D . Four.
    2. (2) Which one is NOT right about pigs?
      A . Scientist long ago proved that pigs are clever. B . We can say that pigs are patient. C . According to a paper published in 2017, pigs are not as clever as dogs. D . Pigs know the differences between those who treat them well and those who don't.
    3. (3) Which of the following about the cartoon Peppa Pig are RIGHT?

      ①It is a USA animated television series that began in 2004.

      ②It has now become one of the most popular cartoons in 180 countries.

      ③Children can learn about love, friendship, and the value of family by watching the cartoon

      Peppa Pig.

      A . ①② B .  ②③ C .  ①③ D . ①②③
    4. (4) Which of the following is NOT right?
      A . McDull is a Chinese cartoon character. B . McDull, the lovable pig, is slow and patient. C . The adventures of McDull have been made into films since 2009. D . Brian Tse is McDull's creator.

        On May 5, 2017, China's home-made passenger aircraft(飞机)C919 completed its 90-minute first flight and landed safely back at Pudong Airport in Shanghai.

        C919 is developed by COMAC, a Chinese aircraft company. It is designed to compete with Boeing 737 and Airbus A320. The first C919 aircraft can carry 168 passengers and is able to fly a distance between 4,075 and 5,555 kilometers. It's reported that a C919 costs around 50 million dollars, less than half of a Boeing 737 or an Airbus A320. Up to now, more than 570 aircrafts have been ordered from 23 customers, mostly Chinese, but also American and Thai companies or airlines. COMAC aims to take one fifth of the world's narrow-body aircraft market and one third of the Chinese market by 2035.

        The name C919 has its special meanings. The letter C stands for both "COMAC" "China". The number 9 is pronounced as jiu in Chinese, which means "forever". And the number 19 refers to its

    capacity(容量)of 190 passengers.

        The large passenger aircraft is praised as "the flower of modern industry". It is a symbol of the nation's industrial  and  technological  standards  as well as the comprehensive(综合的) power. In order to realize the century dream of flying in the sky and the strategy(战略) of the nation, COMAC bears the nation's dream and people's trust. China

    considers it as a national pride.

        Everybody was surprised, and Darcy, after looking at her for a moment, turned silently away. Mrs. Benet, who thought she had a complete victory(胜利) over him, continued her talk.

        "I cannot see that London has any great advantages than the countryside, except the shops and public places. The countryside is more comfortable, isn't it, Mr. Bingley?"

        "When I am in the country," he replied, "I never wish to leave it, and when I am in town it is pretty much the same. They each have their advantages, and I can be equally(同等的) happy in either."

        "Aye-that is because you are easygoing. But that gentleman," looking at Darcy, "seemed to think the country was nothing at all." "Indeed, Mama, you are mistaken," said Elizabeth, stopped her mother. "You quite mistook Mr. Darcy. He only meant that there were not so many different kinds of people to be met with in the country as in town, which you must acknowledge(承认) to be true." "Certainly, my dear, nobody said there were; but as to not meeting with many people in this neighborhood, I believe there are few neighborhoods larger than ours. I know we had dinner with twenty-four families." Hearing this, Mr. Bingley's sister couldn't help laughing. Elizabeth's face turned red. She stopped her mother and asked, "Mum, Did Charlotte have dinner with us tonight?" "No, she would go home. I guess she was wanted. She was a little pain. For my part, Mr. Bingley, my daughters are brought up differently and politely." "She seems to be a very pleasant young woman," said Bingley.

        "Oh! Dear, yes, but you must acknowledge that she is not beautiful. Lady Charlotte herself has often said so, and envied(嫉妒) my eldest daughter, Jane's beauty. I do not like to boast(吹捧) of my own child, but to be sure, Jane—one does not often see any body better looking. It is what every body says. I do not trust my own partiality. When she was only fifteen, there was a gentleman at my brother, Gardiner's home in town, falling in love with her when seeing her for the first eye." —(chosen from an English novel Pride and Prejudice)

        What is it that makes us different from machines? We have created AI(人工智能)programs that can do many of the same things we can. There are software(软件) programs that can play (国际象棋), drive cars and solve difficult math problems.

        But what about creative works? Most art, music and poetry are inspired by emotion(情感). And yet, we have indeed created AI that can produce creative works.

        In (十月), 2018, Christie's famous auction(拍卖)house auctioned off a painting named Portrait of Edmond de Bellamy. The painting is not very outstanding. But it was sold for $432, 500, 3 (百万)yuan. What made it so special? The fact is that it was (画) by an AI program written by Obvious, a group of (艺术家) in Paris, according to Artnet News.

        AI has entered the world of poetry as well. In April, 2018, Chinese and Japanese researchers wrote (一套) AI program that uses images to write poems. The AI looks at colors and shapes in an image and uses this information to write a poem (快地). Five hundred human judges(评委) were asked whether they could tell if the poems were written by a human or a computer. Forty percent of the judges mistakenly thought the poems were written by a human, according to MIT Technology Review.

    But if AI can learn to create works of art (像)these, what place do humans have in the creative world? The difference  is  that  true  art  is  almost  always  an expression  of  emotion— something that AI is still (不能的)to feel. As famous poet Amy Lowell once said, "Art is the desire of a man to express (他自己), to record the reactions of his personality to the world he lives in."

        When a baby cries, its parents will check on it as soon as they can and make sure it is okay. According to a new study, a baby's cry can make adults react very quickly, even if they are not related to the baby.

    Oxford University researchers used the classic game whack-a-mole (打地鼠) for the study.

        Whack-a-mole requires people to hit one of nine   (button). Players must react as quickly as they can to whichever of the buttons that lights up. It is a game that requires speed and accuracy (准确度). The study invited 40 men and  (woman) aged 19 to 59. Some of them had sons or daughters, although none of  (they) children were babies. They played whack-a-mole after listening to different sounds,  (include) the babies' crying, the crying of adults in trouble and bird songs  (play) at a similar pitch (高音)to the babies' crying.

        The volunteers' scores were   (high) after listening to the sound of crying babies. Men and women had similar scores overall. The results showed that hearing a crying baby can trigger a reaction in adults.

    "It's almost    (possible) to ignore (忽视) crying babies  planes. This is true even though there are so many other noises around," said Morten Kringel bach, the scientist   led the study. He added that in the course of human evolution (进化) taking care of babies has always been   important job for adults. When a baby is hungry, it will cry. As a result, human brains develop a special reaction to a baby's cry.
