Chinese telecmmunicatins giant Huawei fficially launched the 2.0 versin f its self-
develped perating system (OS) n Wednesday night, the HarmnyOS. The mve paved the way
fr the Chinese firm t challenge Ggle’s and Apple’s rle in current and future OS ecsystems.
Amng the majr strng pints, the HarmnyOS, with a highly scalable（可扩展的）platfrm,
can be applied t varius devices, including smartphnes, cmputers, and ther electrnic devices,
the cmpany said.
Analysts(分析师) said the OS will d a lt t prmte Huawei’s change int being a sftware service prvider. Huawei’s funder and CEO Ren Zhengfei said that the cmpany was fcusing n
sftware because future develpment in the field was basically “ut f US cntrl and we will have
greater independence and autnmy（自主权）”. Ren called n the cmpany’s staff t “dare t
lead the wrld” in sftware.
“The success f a sftware system will always have t rely n hardware（硬件）, but nwadays,
Huawei desn’t have enugh hardware t supprt its sftware ambitins — that’s the mst
difficult part,” said Jiang Junmu, chief writer at a news website. Once as the wrld’s largest
smartphne maker, Huawei’s natinal smartphne market share (份额)has cntinued t drp in
recent mnths. Liang Zhenpeng, an industry analyst, said that as an OS designed fr the Internet
f Things(IOT) era, the HarmnyOS may need mre time and equipment t test than the OS fr
smartphnes, and that will take at least tw t three years.
Mrever, Liang nted that an ecsystem will always be the decisive factr fr the success f
an perating system. “Des the HarmnyOS have enugh applicatins that can attract cnsumers t update t the OS? That’s a questin,” Liang said. S far, mre than 300 applicatin and service
partners, 1000 hardware partners, and 500,000 develpers have jined in the set-up f the Harmny
ecsystem.
28. What advantage des the HarmnyOS have ver ther perating systems?
A.It perates faster than Ggle system. B. It wrks n a wide range f equipment.
C. It prvides users with a secure experience. D. It has different versins in different cuntries.
29. What can yu infer frm Ren Zhengfei’s wrds?
A. Huawei’s change is challenging.
B. Huawei will break its dependence n the US.
C. The cmpany’s staff need t imprve their skills.
D. Huawei is seeking a new sftware service prvider.
30. What des paragraph 4 mainly talk abut?
A. The future sftware ambitin f Huawei. B. Smartphne sales in the natinal market.
C. The difficulties in prmting the HarmnyOS. D.The success f develping the HarmnyOS.
31. What des Liang expect partners and develpers t d?

A cmpany called Cmpass Pls has sme gd news fr height and swimming enthusiasts. Recently, the cmpany annunced their nvel design—a first f its kind 360­degree pl which is set t be placed n a skyscraper(摩天大楼) in Lndn. The Infinity Lndn will be the first and nly building in the wrld t include this cutting­edge pl design. The pl will be laid n tp f a 55­stry skyscraper and will allw peple t flat ver 200 meters abve the Lndn skyline with unbstructed(没有障碍的) views f the city.
The entrance t the pl is hidden. Peple began t raise questins abut hw anyne wuld get inside the pl. Cmpass Pls explains: “Swimmers will access the pl thrugh a rtating spiral(螺旋形的) staircase based n the dr f a submarine, rising frm the pl flr when smene wants t get in r ut.”
But that is nt the nly unique technlgy f the pl. The designers fund a way t make sure the wind desn't blw the water dwn t the streets. They included a built­in anemmeter(风力计) t mnitr the wind speed. It is linked t a cmputer­cntrlled building management system which will als take care f the temperature f the water.
Alex Kemsley prmises that this unique pl will surpass everyne's expectatins. “It's quite a strange feeling t swim in the SkyPl at The Shard and have helicpters flying past at yur level but this pl takes it a step further, ” he says. “Putting yur gggles(游泳镜) n and with a 360­degree view f Lndn frm 220m up, it really will be smething else—but it's definitely nt ne fr the acrphbic(恐高的)！”
While the exact date f the cnstructin is nt clear yet, if things g well, it may begin in 2023.The lcatin has yet t be cnfirmed t.

Dear Bb,
I’m srry t hear that yu’re addicted t Tik Tk. I really understand hw yu feel because suffering frm Tik Tk addictin is sure t be painful. Therefre, I’d like t ffer yu sme useful advice that I think will benefit yu.
First f all, I suggest that yu shuld start sme ther nice hbbies, such as reading bks, listening t music, r playing chess, etc, which will take yur mind ff Tik Tk. Secndly, yu’d better make mre friends thrugh face-t-face cmmunicatin. They’ll assist yu when yu cannt resist the temptatin f Tik Tk. Thirdly, it’s better fr yu t d sme sprts instead f using Tik Tk a lt because sprts can nt nly keep yu healthy but als enrich yur life and help yu frget Tik Tk. Last but nt least, yu have t learn t cntrl yurself and make gd use f yur time t wrk hard.
I hpe these ideas can help yu get rid f yur addictin as sn as pssible.
Yurs,Li Hua
