Have you ever been to a professional sports game? If you have, you will know how quickly the ball flies around a court（球场）.
Often a player will become upset（沮丧的）by a referee’s decision. The Argentinian tennis player David Nalbandian was fined $ 8,000 at the Australian Open in 2012 for throwing water over a referee. The worst thing is that it turned out the referee was wrong.
We know the referee was wrong because of technology. In tennis, this is called Hawk-Eye because a hawk（鹰）is famous for its sharp（锋利的）eyes. Even when flying high above in the air, a hawk can see a little mouse running around on the ground below. Like the hawk watching down from the sky, Hawk-Eye technology misses nothing. It has a video camera which tracks（跟踪）the ball. The camera sends the data to a computer. Then the computer can work out exactly where the ball will land.
Some tennis fans think the problem with this kind of technology is that it can slow the game down. Some soccer fans say they are glad that the technology will now be used in soccer. They think it will help solve a lot of arguments（争议）.

Money is what people use to buy things they need or want. A long time ago, people didn’t use money. So how did they get the things they wanted? Well, there is a long and interesting story about this.
At first, they would exchange something they had for something they needed. For example, if the shoemaker needed some bread, he would give the baker (面包师) shoes and the baker would give him bread. This was called “bartering”.
Bartering worked well for a while. But after the baker had too many shoes, the shoemaker still needed more bread. What could they do? The solution to this problem was money.
Money was basically an agreement among people. People agreed that some metal (金属) or paper would be worth a certain amount of bread or a certain number of shoes.
There were many earlier forms of money, such as cattle (家畜), salt, grain and shells. But it was not easy to move them or store them. So coin began to take the place of things. Metal tool money was used in China as early as 1000 BC．Coins had a set value and could be stored. It became possible for people to trade in a standardized (标准的) way. A coin says right on it how much it is worth. Different coins are worth different amounts.
About three hundred years ago, paper money came into wide use. Paper money is cheaper to make than coins. It is also easier to carry around. Now people use paper money and coins in most countries.
21．A long time ago, people got the things they wanted by ________.
A．giving the baker shoes B．giving the shoemaker bread
C．using coins and paper money D．exchanging things they had for things they needed
22．The meaning of the underlined word “bartering” is “________”.
A．讨价还价 B．强买强卖 C．以货易货 D．清仓甩卖

C．Metal tool money was used in China before 1000 BC．
D．If the shoemaker needed some bread, he would give the baker bread and the baker would give him shoes.

Cinyee Chiu, an artist from Taiwan, is always happy to try something new. Her amazing works won lots of prizes. Among them “24 Solar Terms（节气）” is the most popular.
Ancient Chinese divided a year into 24 parts according to the changes of the weather. It’s the 24 solar terms. But not everyone knows them well. Cinyee Chiu put the 24 solar terms in pictures to help people understand them better.
Cinyee turned each solar term into an animal. But these animals are not just animals. You can also find seasonal fruits, vegetables or beautiful flowers on them.
When spring comes, water gets warm and fish start to swim around. So Cinyee chose fish as a symbol of Beginning of Spring. Also, she drew spring vegetables, Chinese chives（韭菜）on the back of the fish.
White Dew falls on about September 8th. It shows the beginning of the cool autumn. There are colourful leaves and cooler nights at this time of year. As the temperature falls, white dew（露珠）is often seen on the grass and trees at night. For White Dew, Cinyee chose a raccoon（浣熊）— a small animal with thick hair. She drew white spots（小圆点）on the raccoon to show dew. And she used the dragon fruit to show the colours in autumn.

Mr Mole (鼹鼠) has a problem. His underground tunnel (隧道) has flooded with rain and now his bed of leaves is very wet. What will he do? In The Mole and the Sunglasses, we follow Mr Mole as his nose takes him on a journey through the countryside.
Written by Juliana Sheikh, the book is a playful look at the wild little animals that live just outside our homes. Throughout the story, we follow Mr Mole when he tries to find his way above ground to collect some new leaves for his bed. He wants to reach a farm which belongs to a child named Jac and his mom. They have always treated Mr Mole kindly. Unluckily for Mr Mole, he doesn’t have a very good sense of direction and ends up on the farm of a grumpy (暴躁的) old farmer named Finn. After being chased off by farmer Finn’s sheepdog, Mr Mole tries his best to reach Jac and his mom for help—but by the time he reaches the surface, the sun is shining far too brightly for his little eyes. How will Mr Mole find his way now?
This book teaches children about how animals help keep nature in balance and are a necessary part of the ecosystem (生态系统). While farmer Finn is angry at Mr Mole for digging holes in his field, Jac and his mom know that Mr Mole helps their farm by eating the bugs that would eat away at their crops.

Sheikh shows us in the book that living in peace and harmony (和谐) with nature always gives the best rewards.

We use our smartphones to do many things every day. However, many of us have become so reliant on them. In fact, it is bad for our eyes and health to spend too much time on phones.
A study shows that smartphone owners usually start to use their phones early in the morning. They check personal emails and WeChat. And before they get out of bed, many people often check the weather, read the news, and send a message or two to friends. After getting up, they often take photos of food, themselves, and even whatever they can see with their phones. They share their photos with their friends. The research finds that users pick up their phones more than 1,500 times to do different things in a week. And the smartphone users are on their phone for about three and a half hours a day. That is to say, people use their phones for about one full day each week.
Using phones will take much time and it’s also harmful to our health. Many people stay up late to play with phones. And mobile phones will influence our sleep. Without using the phones, many people will feel sad. Many owners also find they use their phones without realizing (意识到) that they’re doing so.

Have you ever been to a professional sports game? If you have, you will know how quickly the ball flies around a court（球场）.
Often a player will become upset（沮丧的）by a referee’s decision. The Argentinian tennis player David Nalbandian was fined $ 8,000 at the Australian Open in 2012 for throwing water over a referee. The worst thing is that it turned out the referee was wrong.
We know the referee was wrong because of technology. In tennis, this is called Hawk-Eye because a hawk（鹰）is famous for its sharp（锋利的）eyes. Even when flying high above in the air, a hawk can see a little mouse running around on the ground below. Like the hawk watching down from the sky, Hawk-Eye technology misses nothing. It has a video camera which tracks（跟踪）the ball. The camera sends the data to a computer. Then the computer can work out exactly where the ball will land.

Money is what people use to buy things they need or want. A long time ago, people didn’t use money. So how did they get the things they wanted? Well, there is a long and interesting story about this.
At first, they would exchange something they had for something they needed. For example, if the shoemaker needed some bread, he would give the baker (面包师) shoes and the baker would give him bread. This was called “bartering”.
Bartering worked well for a while. But after the baker had too many shoes, the shoemaker still needed more bread. What could they do? The solution to this problem was money.
Money was basically an agreement among people. People agreed that some metal (金属) or paper would be worth a certain amount of bread or a certain number of shoes.
There were many earlier forms of money, such as cattle (家畜), salt, grain and shells. But it was not easy to move them or store them. So coin began to take the place of things. Metal tool money was used in China as early as 1000 BC．Coins had a set value and could be stored. It became possible for people to trade in a standardized (标准的) way. A coin says right on it how much it is worth. Different coins are worth different amounts.
About three hundred years ago, paper money came into wide use. Paper money is cheaper to make than coins. It is also easier to carry around. Now people use paper money and coins in most countries.
21．A long time ago, people got the things they wanted by ________.
A．giving the baker shoes B．giving the shoemaker bread
C．using coins and paper money D．exchanging things they had for things they needed

Cinyee Chiu, an artist from Taiwan, is always happy to try something new. Her amazing works won lots of prizes. Among them “24 Solar Terms（节气）” is the most popular.
Ancient Chinese divided a year into 24 parts according to the changes of the weather. It’s the 24 solar terms. But not everyone knows them well. Cinyee Chiu put the 24 solar terms in pictures to help people understand them better.
Cinyee turned each solar term into an animal. But these animals are not just animals. You can also find seasonal fruits, vegetables or beautiful flowers on them.
When spring comes, water gets warm and fish start to swim around. So Cinyee chose fish as a symbol of Beginning of Spring. Also, she drew spring vegetables, Chinese chives（韭菜）on the back of the fish.
White Dew falls on about September 8th. It shows the beginning of the cool autumn. There are colourful leaves and cooler nights at this time of year. As the temperature falls, white dew（露珠）is often seen on the grass and trees at night. For White Dew, Cinyee chose a raccoon（浣熊）— a small animal with thick hair. She drew white spots（小圆点）on the raccoon to show dew. And she used the dragon fruit to show the colours in autumn.

Mr Mole (鼹鼠) has a problem. His underground tunnel (隧道) has flooded with rain and now his bed of leaves is very wet. What will he do? In The Mole and the Sunglasses, we follow Mr Mole as his nose takes him on a journey through the countryside.
Written by Juliana Sheikh, the book is a playful look at the wild little animals that live just outside our homes. Throughout the story, we follow Mr Mole when he tries to find his way above ground to collect some new leaves for his bed. He wants to reach a farm which belongs to a child named Jac and his mom. They have always treated Mr Mole kindly. Unluckily for Mr Mole, he doesn’t have a very good sense of direction and ends up on the farm of a grumpy (暴躁的) old farmer named Finn. After being chased off by farmer Finn’s sheepdog, Mr Mole tries his best to reach Jac and his mom for help—but by the time he reaches the surface, the sun is shining far too brightly for his little eyes. How will Mr Mole find his way now?
This book teaches children about how animals help keep nature in balance and are a necessary part of the ecosystem (生态系统). While farmer Finn is angry at Mr Mole for digging holes in his field, Jac and his mom know that Mr Mole helps their farm by eating the bugs that would eat away at their crops.

We use our smartphones to do many things every day. However, many of us have become so reliant on them. In fact, it is bad for our eyes and health to spend too much time on phones.
A study shows that smartphone owners usually start to use their phones early in the morning. They check personal emails and WeChat. And before they get out of bed, many people often check the weather, read the news, and send a message or two to friends. After getting up, they often take photos of food, themselves, and even whatever they can see with their phones. They share their photos with their friends. The research finds that users pick up their phones more than 1,500 times to do different things in a week. And the smartphone users are on their phone for about three and a half hours a day. That is to say, people use their phones for about one full day each week.
Using phones will take much time and it’s also harmful to our health. Many people stay up late to play with phones. And mobile phones will influence our sleep. Without using the phones, many people will feel sad. Many owners also find they use their phones without realizing (意识到) that they’re doing so.
