Recently, an elderly woman touched many people’s hearts. She was honored (给与奖励) as a role model in China’s fight against poverty (贫穷). Her name is Xia Sen.

Over the past years, 98-year-old Xia Sen has given away most of her personal savings to help students from poor families in Danfeng, Shaanxi, and Shangyou, Jiangxi get an education.

Born in 1923, Xia was only 15 years old when she became a teacher in Yan’an. While teaching she kept learning. Years later, she went to work as a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

In 2006, Xia visited Xijie Primary School in Danfeng. The school was old and in bad condition. That made her very sad. She spent 20,000 yuan buying desks and books for the students.

In 2008, she took out 200,000 yuan and helped Zhaogou Primary School in Danfeng build a classroom building. It is a building with eight bright and clean classrooms, which is a complete change from what their old classrooms looked like.

Five years later, Xia used 1 million yuan of her savings to set up the “Xia Sen Scholarship (夏森助学金)” to help high school and college students from poor families in Danfeng and Shangyou. So far, at least 182 students have gotten help from the scholarship to pay for their education.

Some students who got Xia’s scholarship went to Xia’s home to visit her in 2018. To their surprise, Xia and her husband led a very simple life. “I was moved by Granny Xia and her husband,” one student said.

Though Xia and her husband have given away most of their savings to help the poor students, they always say that what they have done is far from enough. Xia often says her life is much better than her life in Yan’an. Now her only hope is that she can help more students.

27．What happened when Xia was 15 years old?

A．She left Yan’an.        B．She went to college.

C．She became a teacher.    D．She studied in Danfeng.

28．What did Xia do for Zhaogou Primary School?

A．She gave away 20,000 yuan to it. 

B．She gave talks to encourage its students.

C．She bought desks and books for its students. 

D. She helped build a classroom building for it.

Do you know 5G? It is the fifth generation(代）of mobile network technology. These new networks are coming.

China just issued commercial licenses(发放商用牌照）for 5G on June 6. This means that China’s telecom companies were soon able to offer 5G networks for mobile phone users.

Each mobile network generation is faster and more powerful than the one before it. 1G let us talk to each other. 2G let us send messages. 3G gave us data and the Internet. And 4G made all of these things faster. What’s special about 5G?

5G has a very short delay between sending and receiving information. Now, 4G takes about 100 to 200 milliseconds(毫秒）to send and receive data. But 5G will get it down to 1 millisecond or less---this is almost real-time.

This big change will not only make our mobile Internet faster, but also deeply change our lives. Read on to find out how.

5G+entertainment(娱乐）

5G networks are about 100 times faster than 4G. This means you can dowload a movie in seconds using 5G.

Also, virtual reality (VR) games will become more popular with 5G. The short delay of 5G will make the games feel even more real.

5G+transportation

5G will also bring us safer self-driving cars. These cars can send signals(信号）to each other. They also talk to traffic lights and road sensors(传感器). 5G will allow cars to react even faster than human drivers.

5G+smart homes

5G also makes the Internet of things possible. Internet of things is a large network that connects everything to the Internet. Smart homes are part of it.

For example, your toaster can automatically(自动地）start making breakfast after your alarm rings. And if its sensor feels the air becoming dry, a smart sprinkler could water your plants by itself.

30. What does the underlined word “delay” in Paragraph 4 probably mean in Chinese?.

A. 延时            B. 暂停           C. 断开           D. 卡顿

31. 5G will change people’s lives in many ways EXCEPT _________.

A. entertainment     B. transportation     C. smart homes     D. health

32.What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. Mobile phone users can use 5G networks.                     

B. Each mobile network generation has their own advantages.                

C. 5G will change our lives in many ways.            

D. 5G will bring us safer self-driving cars.

Do you like eating instant noodles (方便面)? The food is easy to make and cheap to buy. People have celebrated its 60th birthday this year. It was invented by a Japanese businessman Momofuku Ando in 1958.

China is the biggest market for instant noodles. It can be a snack for students, a meal on a train, or just a choice for hungry workers. More than 46.2 billion instant noodles packets were sold on the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong in 2013, a BBC article reported. But by 2016. those sales had dropped to 38.5 billion packets, according to the World Instant Noodles Association.

One of the reasons for the drop could be the rise of online food delivery services.(外卖服务） They can bring you food wherever you are. They also offer more choices and tastier food. According to a 2016 survey by China Youth Daily, about 70 percent of young people order meals online once a week.

This shows that Chinese people now expect higher for the quality of their food,according to Shen Hongbing, a professor from Chongqing Technology and Business University.

Facing this challenge, instant food companies are trying to do something to increase sales. For example,Kangshifu, one of the largest instant noodle companies,puts more natural food and fewer man-made tastes into the noodles and it also tries to make its noodles non-fried(非油炸),which can cut the calories(卡路里）and bring less fat. Another big company,Tangdaren, take actions too. It changes the price from 9 yuan to 7 yuan for each bowl. There are many other instant food companies following them to improve their products  to meet people’s needs.

Will instant noodles disappear one day? We don't know. But they have surely left a mark on dining history.

58. Who invented instant noodles?
59. What do instant food companies do to in crease sales?
60. If you have no time for your meals , will you choose instant noodles? Why or Why not?
