    Stop reading for a minute and think about what you see when you look up at the sky on a clear night. You probably see many stars(星星). Long long ago, farmers watch some stars to know when to plant their crops. Travellers did so to find their way in the dark. Today stars are still important to some people.

    Scientists find that most stars are very big. In fact some stars are so far away that it would take millions of years to get to them even by spaceship.

    Another thing we know today about stars is that some are made up of(由……组成) hot gases. The gases are so hot that they send out light. If you watch a star carefully, you may notice that it twinkles(闪烁) sometimes. As you may understand, light from a star must shine through the air before you can see the star. Air is always moving, it makes light from the star move back and forth. When the light moves, it makes the star twinkle. Stars also have different colours. The colours of a star depend on how hot it is. To our surprise, the cool stars are red and the hottest stars are white.

(1)、Long long ago, travellers      to find their way in the dark
A、made a fire B、used a lamp C、watched stars D、used sticks(棍)
(2)、Why does a star sometimes twinkle?
A、Because its light travels through the moving air. B、Because its light is too bright. C、Because it is made up of hot gases. D、Because it is too dark.
(3)、Red stars are      .
A、hot B、cold C、warm D、cool
(4)、Which is the TURE according to the passage?
A、Today stars are not important to people at all. B、It took us a short time to get to the stars by spaceship. C、You can see the star before it shines through the air. D、Farmers knew when to plant their crops by watching some stars.

    Artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能)is the ability of a computer program or a machine to think and learn. It is also a field of study that tries to make computers "smart". John McCarthy, a scientist, came up with the name "artificial intelligence" in 1955. Many things such as learning and problem solving can be done by computers, though not in the same way as we do.

    An unusual goal of AI research is to create computer programs that can learn, solve problems, and think logically(逻辑地). At present we use the term Al for successfully understanding human speech, recognizing(识别)human faces, operating self-driving cars and competing in some game systems like Chess and AlphGo(阿尔法狗). Some people also consider AI a danger to humans if it develops too quickly. Professor Stephen Hawking (霍金), a well-known British scientist, was not for this kind of technology.

    Math is the basic language of AI. If we raise the standard in the learning of math, our students will be more likely to become successful AI designers in the future. We not only want bright students, but also need to attract average students and give them the math skills which are needed to change them into AI designers. Besides, a good knowledge of computer science is also necessary for AI designing.

    Scientists hope to create creative and emotional AI which can possibly understand human feelings or create art. Many ways and tools have been tried to discover this fascinating field.

 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。

Many people connect gratitude(感谢) with saying "thank you" to someone who helped us, making it a short act of appreciation. According to Robert Emmons, a leading researcher, gratitude is an emotion that can result in long-lasting positivity(积极性). {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

Gratitude is good for your health.

Through his research, Emmons found that grateful people reported feeling healthier and happier, both mentally and physically. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} In the workplace, employees who are shown that they are appreciated are healthier and more productive by 50 percent.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#}

Gratitude is a selfless act. We often take for granted the simple things in life. Those who recognize the goodness in life, no matter how simple, are more likely to be sensitive to the needs of others and to help whenever they can. Being considerate to others' opinions, experiences and backgrounds will make you a better person.

Gratitude makes us more self-aware.

Working in an ever-developing, fast-paced society, we are surrounded by ambitious people who are always struggling for more and better. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} It starts by paying attention to what's now going on in your life, and that's true self-awareness is the key to being successful.

Gratitude helps us build strong relationship.

Gratitude is a powerful tool for strengthening relationship, both at work and in your personal life. People who express their gratitude tend to be more willing to forgive others and therefore able to create long-lasting connections. 
{#blank#}5{#/blank#} Taking the time to thank people for their work and kindness — whether it was today, last month or many years ago-makes you happier and more self-aware.

A. Specially, those who were grateful were 25 percent happier than those who weren't.

B. Gratitude builds understanding. 

C. The old saying goes "It's never too late to say you're sorry", but the same is true of gratitude.

D. All in all, we feel and express our gratitude in different ways.

E. Gratitude makes you reflect(反思) in the moment instead of always thinking about the future.

F. Here are a few benefits of being grateful.
