Shuntaro will suddenly lie on the ground. This is Giant Panda. Bai Yun. During her 22nd birthday celebration at the San Dieg Zoo, she received a special birthday cake, made of rice, bamboo and fruit. The police in the Netherlands are about to use rats to help them look into crimes. According to the rat trainer, rats have a stronger sense of smell than dogs, and it’s much easier and cheaper to train them. It takes the trainer only 10 days to train rats, but it takes mothers or even years to train dogs. An old saying says that cows lie down when it is about to rain. Now a study has showed that the saying is true. Scientists find that cows are more likely to lie down when it is cold and so it is often the sign of rain. We humans always call others by names. Do you know dolphins can also do that? A new study shows that each dolphin has its own sign of wound for others to call. It’s like human’s names. 4.

While the start of a new school year is always exciting, this year was even more so for some students at a White Cloud Primary School. They became the world’s first kids to be “taught” by an electronic teacher. This electronic teacher is not a human-like robot walking around the classroom. Instead, he is a computer-created head that appears, when needed, on students’ computer or phone screens._________.
Created by technology company Smart Machines. Bill is able to show human-like behavior. He is designed to teach a special program about environmental-friendly power created by the sun and wind. This program, started in 2005, used to be taught by human teachers.
Just like human teachers. Bill is able to immediately respond to the students’ questions and opinions about the topic. Thanks to computer cameras, he is also able to see and react to students physical actions. For example, if a student smiles at Bill, he responds by smiling back. These two-way exchange helps get the students’ attention. More importantly, it allows the program developers to improve Bill’s behavior and knowledge base when needed.
The program has been a great success, according to Smart Machines Spokesman Robert Frost. Frost says, “What is interesting to me is the children’s reaction to Bill. He really capture their attention. Frost think kids don’t find the experience of being taught by smart machines as strange as older people because they have grown up in a time of computers and smartphones.
It is doubtful, however, that human educators will lose their jobs to Bill anytime soon. For one, this talking head’s knowledge base is not large. More importantly, even the smartest computer programs can’t guess and react to all the unexpected situations that educators face daily. Bill’s future might be as a “personal tutor”, providing kids with one-on-one help for different subjects and topics.
9. Which of the following can be the missing sentence in paragraph one?
A. All the students like him
B. He can help children to solve their problems C. His name is Bill
10. How does the two-way exchange help the program developers?
A. It lets them correct students’ mistakes B. It allows Bill to respond more quickly C. It helps them know how to improve Bill.
11. The underlined word “they” in paragraph 4 refers to __________.
A. kids B. older people C. smart machines 12. How might Bill be used in the future according to the last paragraph?
A. To work as human classroom teachers
B. To give students personal help with different subjects.
C. To watch over the behavior of the students in the classroom

The year was 1859. America and England had already fought two wars. Now, they were at peace. But one day a pig got hungry. And it nearly caused another war between the two countries.
The pig was owned by a British man who lived on a small island. The island was just of the western part of North America. Both England and the US said the island was theirs. Across the island from the British man lived some American farmers. Everyone on the island got along peacefully. But the peace ended the day the British man’s pig decided to eat some of an American farmer’s potatoes.
One of the American farmers shot and killed the pig. Then the pig’s owner wanted $100 from the man who shot the animal. That was a lot of money, so the farmer refused to pay it. The British and Americans began to argue，and the situation got worse. The farmers asked the governor over the island at that time for help. He sent a group of soldiers to protect the farmers. The British answered by sending 2000 soldiers. The British were on one side of the island, and the American were on the other. The problem that began with the pig was about to become a shooting war.
When news of the problem reached Washington and London, both leaders were surprised. Neither country wanted another war. They sent some men to try to fix the problem. After a discussion, it was decided that each country would keep a small group of soldiers on the island. They would stay there until the two countries could decide who owned the island. Then the others would have to leave.

Big data is a lot of set of information that are put together so they can be used by a computer program. The computer looks for different kinds of answers or patterns in the data. Big data can have different kinds of information from many sources, such as information that comes from schools ,social media sites, companies and government. One set of data can have people’s names and addresses. Another set can have what they like, where they go to school and how much time they spend on the computer.
Big data can be used in many ways. The government uses it to understand how many people travel on buses or trains. This information is then used to make bus or train systems better. Some schools use big data to understand which children may need extra help in class. The teacher can then give certain students more help or support so those students can succeed in school. Companies use big data, too. It helps them understand who buys their products. For example, one company uses weather data to see when people eat the most ice cream.
Big data can be used for good reasons. Some hospitals use big data to predict if a baby who is born too early will get sick. The hospital can then take extra steps to take care of that baby, so he or she does not get sick. Big data can also be sued for bad reasons. It can be sued to predict which kinds of people are likely to break the law or hurting others, even if they have not done anything wrong.
How can big data be used for good and bad things? It is because the computer programs used to look at the big data and understand it are written by people. People think a certain way. Because they think a certain way, they build a model of those ideas. These ideas are then used to look at the data. Sometimes, these ideas are helpful for people or business. Other times, bad ideas can cause problems for certain groups of people.
17. This reading is about __________.
A. what big data is and how it is used
B. where important data is collected and stored
C. how big data is controlled by governments and companies 18. One company uses weather information to _______.
A. know when people will visit the hospital baby B. find out who rides the bus or train
C. understand when people will need ice cream 19. The main idea of the paragraph 3 is _______.
A. big data can be used for good reasons B. we can use big data in a number of ways
C. Big data can be used for both good and bad reasons. 20. The overall tone(总基调) of this reading is ________.
A. personal and scientific B. informative but silly C. scientific and informative
