I had never been on a real roller coaster. Fear of speed, fear of heights: They just weren’t for me. I had ever got a kiddie-coaster when I was six. It was probably six feet tall, but I had it stopped even before we got up to the first slope.
So today I just waited for my friends while they took the 53 mph roller-coaster-riding. As they stepped off the ride, they tried to persuade (说服)me to follow them onto the next roller coaster.
“Come on, Lisi!” Jennifer said, “You’re so boring! Just come with us!”
“It’s not that scary,” added Jackie, “I’ll sit next to you.”
Finally, I gave in and agreed to get on the roller coaster. ▲ “It looks really big from down here,” I worried out loud. Finally, we reached the front of the line. I sat in a seat with Jackie. As soon as we started moving, I began to scream and held Jackie’s hand tightly.
We started to climb the slope toward the highest point of the ride. It felt as if something had broken. We started falling fast. The wind blew hard and it seemed like my face would blow off. I screamed so loud that I couldn’t hear myself anymore. I closed my eyes, never stopping my scream.
The ride came suddenly to a stop. I opened my eyes. We were back where we started! I hadn’t died! I stepped off the ride, tired and dizzy. My friends looked at me, searching for my reaction(反应). “Can we do that again?” I said in a low voice.
(　　)5. What happened when Lisi was on a kiddie-coaster at six?

She wrote in the book, “It was terribly hot in the Gobi Desert. I almost got sunstroke and could never have enough to drink.”
Sophie has biked in other countries, such as the United States and Turkey. This summer holiday, she plans to ride a bike from Greece to Portugal in Europe.

When looking at a pair of old chopsticks, most people would see nothing but waste. ▲
In 2016, Felix Back, a doctoral student at the University of British Columbia, Canada, found out people threw away about 100,000 pairs of chopsticks every day in Vancouver alone. He felt he needed to do something. So he started the company Chop Value in the same year. The company collected used chopsticks from restaurants, schools and shopping centers in Canada and the US and turned them into furniture and other artworks. Now in its seventh year with the rapid growth of the company, Bock employs(雇佣) 40 people, and using his special methods of steam and press machines, he has recycled 32 million pairs of chopsticks.
Bock takes pride in his work. And he hopes the idea behind Chop Value will help people rethink what they see as waste. “I believe every small action can help,” he said. “And I am happy that my business provides a new way for people.” Hundreds of restaurants across North America pay a small sum of money to Bock for the recycling of their used chopsticks. Bock doesn’t stop there. Now he is busy taking his business to more countries and has set up factories for recycling local wood like chopsticks in 10 countries.
(　　)13. Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in the blank?
A. But Felix Bock would see boxes, tables, shelves and so on.
B. They would throw the waste away and never use it again.
C. In fact, people have different opinions towards waste.

A. The new way to rethink what waste was.
B. The plan for recycling local wood.
C. The use of chopsticks.

While the start of a new school year is always exciting, this year was even more so for some students at 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 on students’ computer or phone screens when needed. His name is Bill.
Created by technology company Smart Machines, Bill is able to show human-like behavior. He is designed(设计) to teach a special program which used to be taught by human teachers.
Just like human teachers, Bill is able to immediately answer the students’ questions and opinions about the topic. Thanks to computer cameras, he is also able to see and react (反应) to students’ physical actions. For example, if a student smiles at Bill, he answers by smiling back. This 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.
Frost, a Smart Machines spokesman, says, “What is interesting to me is the children’s reaction to Bill. He really draws their attention.” Frost thinks kids don’t find the experience of being taught by smart machines as strange as older people because they have grown in a time of computers and smart phones.
It is doubtful, however, that human educators will lose their jobs to Bill any time 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.
(　　)17. How does the two-way exchange help the program developers?
A. It lets them correct students’ mistakes.
B. It allows Bill to answer more quickly.
C. It helps them know how to improve Bill.
(　　)18.What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Older people. B. Kids. C. Smart machines.
(　　)19.What is Bill not good at doing?
A. Dealing with unexpected situations.
B. Answering students’ questions.
C. Understanding body language.
(　　)20.What is the best title about this passage?
A. Bill—A Computer-created Head
B. Bill—A Human-like Robot
C. Bill—A Computer Teacher
