2、阅读短文,根据短文内容和汉语提示写单词。
There's a popular Chinese saying that usually kindles (激起) two different discussions.
The saying says du wanjuan shu, xing wanli lu, or translates literally as"to read ten (千) books and travel ten thousand miles".
The saying was first from Notes from the Painting-Meditation Studio (写) by Dong Qichang, a famous painter and politician in the late years of the Ming Dynasty.
Dong's saying was (鼓励) people to study more and gain(获得) knowledge, then put what they learned into (实践) while they' re further broadening their horizons(视野).
(然而), later on, some people twisted(曲解) Dong's saying to"to travel ten thousand miles beats reading ten thousand books".
The latter idea obviously stresses that experience is more (重要的) and meaningful than what one can get from books.
* The two ideas, no matter how you understand them, both compare (阅读) with traveling.
But this is not a unique Chinese idea. (西方人) have had similar reflections.
For example, Augustine of Hippo, a philosopher, once (说), "The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page. "
David Rockefeller, an American banker, once said, "I am a passionate traveler, and from the time I was a child, travel formed me as much as my formal education. "
All these sayings seem to agree on one point: By seeing new places and meeting new people, travel can be as (令人激动的) and educational as reading books.
The unspoken lesson is: Do both as much as possible.

For most Chinese parents, whether they live in a city or a village, a college education for their children is the ticket to future success. But a Chinese1 says differently.
First used in the Miscellaneous Records of Clear Wave by Zhou Hui during the 12th century, the saying says, "There are 360 trades and every trade 2 its own zhuangyuan. "
*Zhuangyuan was a title conferred(授予) on the person receiving the highest 3 in the imperial examination in feudal China.
In other words, the saying means 4 may become outstanding in any trade through will, talent and hard work.
Some people think that an earlier folk story is where the saying comes from.
As the story goes, a new zhuangyuan was5 through a market on a big horse. When a man carrying firewood and a vendor(小贩) of cooking oil blocked his way, he shouted to them, "You get out of my 6 !"
But the two replied, "Get off your high horse. You only know how to write, 7 you can't do anything we are good at. "
Then, the man with the firewood 8 his skill with an ax(斧头), and the vendor exactly weighed the oil in a bottle without using a scale(秤). The Zhuangyuan was 9 by their skills.
"Ah, in 36 trades, each has its own top masters, " he sighed.
The number 36 was later changed to 360 to reflect a very wide range of trades.
Today, the Chinese saying is often used to tell young people who don't do well in exams or can't 10 schooling(学校教育) to use their skills and stand out in a job.

In Chinese artistic painting, plays and especially folklore (民间传说), one may often meet a group known as the Eight Immortals(八仙).
They have been deeply loved by Chinese people since they first appeared in texts of the Tang and Song dynasties.
They are not the stereotype deities (刻板的神仙) in traditional Chinese culture.
First, they are not born immortals at all. . Among them are a former military general, a relative of the imperial family, a scholar, a Taoist and a beggar.
Second, each of the Eight Immortals has a particular tool with a special magical power. For example, Tieguai Li, always carries an iron crutch(拐杖) and a bottle gourd (葫芦); ; and HanZhongli, who has the power to create silver and gold, is usually seen holding a large palm-leaf fan.
Both as a group and individuals(个人), the immortals have lots of colorful, funny and sometimes strange stories.
According to legend, the group was invited every year to attend the Conference of the Magical Peach, hosted by Queen Mother of the West.
Instead of riding a cloud across, as they all can do, one of them suggested that they each use their special power to sail across the sea.
They threw their magic objects, such as the big fan, lotus flower and bottle gourd, into the sea, quickly forming seagoing boats to carry them to the party.
A. Instead they rise from common people
B. "Eight Immortals Cross the Sea" is popular
C. The others all agreed, viewing it as a simple adventure
D. One year, on their way to the party, they came to a wide sea
E. He Xiangu, the only female of the eight, has a magic lotus flower
F. One of the best-known ones is called the"Eight Immortals Cross the Sea"

Once, a necklace was lost from the house of a rich man. There were many servants working in that house. Naturally, it was suspected (怀疑) that the necklace had been stolen by someone of the servants.

All the servants went back home and kept their sticks as they were innocent (无辜的). * But the servant who stole the necklace cut the stick by an inch thinking that it really would increase an inch within the night.

When mountains, rivers and something else block the view, you may wonder whether there's still a road ahead. Be optimistic(乐观的). * Chinese people will use two common sayings to tell you that there will always be a road ahead.
One of the sayings comes from a book called Civilian Mottos from Ancient China, published around the late 16th century. It says, "When a chariot(马车) arrives in front of a mountain, there's always a road there; when a boat floats toward a bridge, it will naturally go straight. "
The meaning here is that when you drive a chariot to a mountain, there must be a road you can take to go forward, and water currents (水流) will naturally straighten a boat when it goes to pass underneath a bridge. In more common language: Don't worry about what's going to happen in the future; things will work themselves out.
The second saying is from two lines from a poem written by Lu You, a great Southern Song Dynasty historian and poet.
The two lines read shanchong shuifu yiwulu, liu' an huaming youyicun. It translates as, "Mountains roll beyond mountains, and streams double back to streams. I doubt if there's still a road and then, with shady willows and bright flowers, another village suddenly appears ahead. "
This popular expression is often used to offer comfort and encouragement (鼓舞) during difficult times and to encourage people to face the world calmly.
There's a Western saying that follows the same idea, "When God closes one door, he opens a window. "

For more than 1, 300 years in feudal China, a system of the imperial examination(科举制度)was used to select government officials. Here is a story about a student taking the imperial examination.
One day, on his way to the capital to sit the final imperial examination, a young man spent a night at an old temple. After supper, he had an interesting conversation with an old monk (和尚)there.
The monk said that people thought everything in the world is either male or female, and he asked his guest how to tell the male of seawater or trees from the female.
The young man thought it over but couldn't come up with an answer.
The monk then explained that for the seawater, billows (巨浪) are male and waves are female because males are usually bigger than females. For trees, the pine(松) tree is male because the Chinese character for it contains a male radical(部首), and the plum(梅子) tree is female because it has a female component(成分) in the word.
The student found the answer interesting but not very excellent.
However, it happened that the title of the thesis(论文)for the imperial examination that year was On the Gender of All Things in the World.
So, the student quoted what the monk said in his thesis. Surprisingly, he not only passed the examination but came in first.

A US company called Savor is won some dairy alternatives made using something that is all around us: carbon.

Savor has already run taste tests with small groups of people. And it is tto get the permission from the regulators(监管机构) for its product in the US.
But why butter?
A 2021 study showed that food production makes uabout 35% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions(排放) — and Savor thinks that about 7% of greenhouse gas emissions are just from producing fat.
But Savor's process, Gates wrote, doesn't release(释放)agreenhouse gases. He added that it uses no farmland and less than a thousandth of the water that traditional agriculture does.
Savor is focusing on butter to start with partly bits high price point makes it easier to compete on cost. But the company later hopes to dother products like milk, ice cream, cheese——even meat.

Japanese car maker Nissan has developed a new type of paint that keeps cars cooler. The paint lowers the temperature inside cars that are parked in sunlight. The paint can keep a car 12 ℃ cooler than cars with regular paint. The new paint will also reduce the need for air conditioning. This means there is less pressure on a car's battery(电池). The paint was developed in partnership(合作) with a Chinese company called Radi-Cool, a specialist(专家) in heat-cooling products. Nissan said, "The project is part of our pursuit of… innovations (创新) that empower journeys, and help create a cleaner, more environmental society. " The paint is now only available in white. Nissan hopes to make other colors in the future.
The leader of the "cool paint" project is Dr Susumu Miura. He is a manager at the Nissan Research Center near Tokyo. His team started developing the paint in 2021. Their paint is about six times thicker than standard car paint. This will make cars a little more expensive. Dr Susumu Miura spoke about his work. He said, "My dream is to create cooler cars without using energy. " He added, " This is especially important in the electric vehicle (汽车) age, when the load(负荷) from running air-conditioning in summer can have a great impact on the condition of the battery. " He hopes vehicles like ambulances that spend most of the day out driving will have the paint.

Staying safe online is important. But a lot of us are making mistakes with the passwords (密码)we use for our different accounts(账户).
Password manager company Bitwarden found that a quarter of people use the same password for at least 11 sites or apps. And more than one-third of us use personal information in our passwords.
Personal information isn't a good idea to use, because it's quite easy for others to find it out.
But here's something else that isn't a good idea: using the name of your favorite famous person, band, singer or superhero!
A company called Mailsuite has been looking at the most dangerous pop culture passwords you can use online.
Mailsuite made a list of more than 2, 600 pop culture terms and almost 64, 000 different ways of writing them.
It then looked at something called the Pwned Passwords database (数据库), which gives information about hundreds of millions of passwords that have been exposed in online data breaches (数据泄露).
The pop culture password that came up most was "Superman". It appeared in almost 585, 000 data breaches.
In second place was the US band Blink-182. Used as a password, it appeared in more than 482, 000 data breaches.
"Batman" "Star Wars" and "Eminem" were also in the top five.
Bitwarden says you should choose a long password that includes letters, numbers and symbols.
You should also have a different password for each app you use. Sites like Bitwarden also let you check how strong a password is before you choose it.

Customers ordering a meal from Shake Shack in Los Angeles may have their next burger delivered(运送) by a robot on wheels.
The fast food restaurant, which sells burgers, fries, milkshakes and more, is working with Uber Eats and Serve Robotics to bring customers their orders using a robot that drives itself from the restaurant to their home.
When ordering a meal from Shake Shack through the Uber Eats app, customers in Los Angeles are given the option to have their food delivered by a Serve robot. Customers can then track the robot on its journey from the restaurant to their address, just like any other delivery.
The robot is around a meter tall and looks like a box on four wheels, with two lights at the front which look like eyes. According to reports, the robots can carry up to23 kilograms at a top speed of 11 kilometers per hour—and they only travel on sidewalks.
Food orders are put into a safe space that can only be unlocked by the customer with the Uber Eats app once ▲ .
Serve Robotics said that the robots reduce traffic jams, pollution, and road accidents, while also reducing the cost of delivery. What's more, you don't need to tip a robot!
Since 2022, the robots have already made thousands of deliveries for Uber Eats and 7-Eleven in Los Angeles. But there can be problems.
While Serve says that its robots finish their deliveries over 99% of the time, online videos of people damaging the robots and stealing(偷) what's inside of them went viral(在网上疯传) in 2023.
The robots can also have problems traveling on broken surfaces, and some people are worried they might block sidewalks.

Anew artificial intelligence (AI) tool could be used to predict (预测) our future health conditions, according to researchers in London.
Experts from a number of different universities and hospitals have been trying out a tool they developed called Foresight.
It has been trained on the health care data (数据) of real patients, and it uses deep learning to recognize patterns in the data and identify (辨认)future symptoms, medications, conditions and procedures. In other words, it's a simulation (模拟) of what someone's future health will look like.
The results of tests on Foresight have now been published in The Lancet Digital Health.
Three different models of Foresight were trained on sets of health data from more than 800, 000 patients in the UK and the US.
In order to check how accurate(准确的) the tool was, the researchers compared its predictions with what really happened to a smaller number of patients whose medical records they studied.
It's said that its predictions were correct 88% of the time.
But this isn't a tool for predicting the future, said Zeljko Kraljevic, the study's first author, and it isn't designed to help patients diagnose themselves.
He said it could be used to help doctors to make decisions about a patient.
"The more data it receives, the better it gets, " he added.
The researchers said more testing is needed, and they're looking for hospitals to help test a more accurate version, to be called Foresight 2.
(1)、What can Foresight be used to do?A、Offer all kinds of people's health care data. B、Help people know about the medical knowledge. C、Provide doctors with treatment plans for patients. D、Predict the patents' health conditions in the future.(2)、What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?A、How Foresight works. B、How great Foresight is. C、What the simulation is. D、How the simulation works.(3)、The writer uses "more than 800, 000patients" in Paragraph 5 to tell us ____.A、health data was enough B、Foresight was accurate C、Foresight was believable D、too many people get illnesses(4)、What can we infer about Foresight?①It can predict a person's future.
②Patients can diagnose themselves by it.
