When Robby was 8 months old, Dr. Johnson took him to the zoo to learn about animals. Robby watched elephants, lions, monkeys, and pandas. He was amazed by how different they looked. In fact, Robby was interested in exploring planets and space. So he took a tour of the solar system with the help of a computer program.

19、Traditionally, we take the subway with subway cards or by scanning QR codes (扫描二维码) on our smartphones. But now, people traveling on the Beijing Daxing Airport subway have a new way to take a ride—they can scan their palms (手掌).
To enjoy the service, people need to register (登记) their palm prints on machines in subway stations along the Daxing Airport subway line. Then they have to start the palm-scanning function (功能) on their smartphones. Once they do this, they can scan their palms at ticket gates to pass through. After they finish the travel, the payment service on their smartphones will pay the money for their ride.
Many people welcome the new technology. They think it helps them to travel faster and more easily. They don't have to take out their subway cards or smartphones when they want to pass through the ticket gates. And they no longer have to worry when they forget their subway cards or when their smartphones run out of battery. What's more, the palm-scanning technology is very friendly to old people and those who have special needs. Those people may not use smartphones well. This technology makes it possible for them to take the subway without using smartphones.
Besides Beijing, the palm-scanning technology is also in service in the subway station of Shenzhen. And there are hopes that it can be used in more places like stores and restaurants in the future.
(1)、What's the correct order to enjoy the palm-scanning service?① register his palm prints
② scan his palm at the ticket gate
③ start the palm-scanning function
A、①③② B、②①③ C、③②① D、①②③(2)、What's Paragraph 3 mainly about?A、The uses of the palm-scanning technology. B、The rules of the palm-scanning technology. C、The history of the palm-scanning technology. D、The advantages of the palm-scanning technology.(3)、What can we infer about the new way of taking the subway from the text?A、It's only popular among young people. B、It's more expensive than the traditional ways. C、It's especially helpful for people who may not use smartphones well. D、It's only widely used by the people who live in Beijing now.(4)、What's the writer's attitude towards this new technology?A、Doubtful. B、Hopeful. C、Worried. D、Unclear. -
20、China's Childcare Subsidy Policy (育儿补贴政策)

Recently, there has been good news for families with young children in China. The government has introduced a new childcare subsidy policy to ease the financial (经济) burden of raising kids.
To apply (申请), parents or guardians (监护人) have two choices: using the online childcare subsidy information system, which is very convenient, or applying in person. When applying, they need to prepare simple materials like the child's birth certificate (出生证明) and household registration booklet (户口本). The subsidy will be paid directly into the bank account of the applicant or the child, to ensure it reaches families safely.
Starting from January 1, 2025, families with children under 3 years old can receive a subsidy. The national basic standard is 3,600 yuan per child every year, and it will be given until the child turns 3. Whether it's the first, second, or third child, each is eligible (符合条件的). For example, if a family has a 2-year-old child, they can get 3,600 yuan this year. For children born before 2025 but still under 3, the subsidy will be calculated based on the remaining months until they turn 3.
This policy is really helpful. Raising children costs a lot—from milk powder and diapers to early education. The subsidy can support families with these expenses. It shows the government cares about families and wants to help them raise the next generation. With this support, parents can focus more on their children's growth, feeling less worried about money.
We hope this policy brings more joy and less stress to families, to help every child in China have a better future.
(1)、What is the main purpose of China's new childcare subsidy policy?A、To encourage more families to travel. B、To reduce the financial pressure of raising children. C、To improve children's education level. D、To help families buy new houses.(2)、When can families start receiving the childcare subsidy?A、From January 1, 2024. B、From July 1, 2025. C、From January 1, 2025. D、From December 31, 2025.(3)、Which children are eligible for the subsidy?A、Only the first child in a family. B、Children over 3 years old. C、All children under 3 years old. D、Only children born in 2025.(4)、For a child born in 2023, how will the subsidy be calculated?A、It will be based on the remaining months until the child turns 3. B、It will not be given because the child was born before 2025. C、It will be 3,600 yuan every year until the child is 3. D、It will be half of the national standard.
