Concerned about her daughter, Rhonda turned to her mother, Trish Moore, for help.November 8 of 1993 would have been Kens 29th birthday. So Trish advised Desiree to send her father a card. Desirees eyes lit up as she dictated a letter, Happy birthday, Daddy. I love you and miss you. I hope you get this and can write to me on my birthday.

Suddenly something in the bushes caught his eye. Curious, he approached to find a silver balloon. The letter finished with a mailing address in Live Oak, California. The balloon traveled 3,000 miles. What a coincidence! A Little Mermaid balloon landed at Mermaid Lake. To help Desiree, the MacKinnons wrote her a letter with a birthday card and an adaptation of The Little Mermaid.The MacKinnons package arrived later on Desirees birthday. The letter read, Happy birthday from your daddy. You must be wondering who we are. Well, it all started There are no stores in heaven, so your daddy picked us to do the shopping. We know your daddy loves you very much and wants you to be happy and not sad. Lots of love, the MacKinnons. Tears in eyes, Desiree said, I knew Daddy would find a way not to forget me.

A Heartbreaking Experience of a Girl D. A Magic Response from HeavenCWe have heard some interesting ways that 5G wireless technology might change our lives in the, future.5G short for the 5th generation mobile communication technology, promises Internet speeds between 50 to 100 times faster than current 4G systems. While 5G is set to be used in some limited areas of America this year, much of the world is not expected to receive widely available service until 2023.One project in Britain, however, is already testing this superfast technology on an unlikely group of Internet users-cows. The project was developed by American technology company Cisco Systems. It also receives money from the British government Cisco says the program seeks to explore the future of 5G connectivity in rural areas around the world.Testing areas were set up at farms in. three rural areas of England. The cows are equipped with 5G-connected devices(装置)that link up to a robotic milking system, which uses sensors and machine learning to fully automate the process. System designers say technology takes over after a cow feels ready to be milked and walks toward an automatic gate. The device is designed to recognize each individual cow. It then positions equipment to the right body position for milking. During the process, machines release food for the cow as a reward.Other 5G technology tools include automated brushes that turn on when the cow rubs up against them. Sensors also control the amount of light to the cows living areas depending on the weather. And, an automatic feeding system makes sure the animals always get enough to eat.Duncan Forbes, head of the project, told Reuters that the project shows the farms cow operations can be greatly improved with 5G technology and that the experiment provides strong evidence that 5G technology can be widely used in the future, not just on farms in Britain, but in rural communities across the world.28. What is the purpose of Cisco Systems program?A. To win financial support from British government.B. To test the effects of 5G technology on animals.C. To promote its technological development in Britain.D. To expand the future use of 5G in rural communities.29. What does the underlined word Its in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. The project. B. The company. C. The technology. D. The group.30. What can we learn about 5G according to the text?A. It is no worse than 4G in terms of speed.B. It is already widely available in the world.C. It enables cows to control their own milking.D. It is based on sensors and machine learning.31. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A. Entertainment. B. Lifestyle. C. Education. D. Technology.DDoes the amount of cash in a lost wallet influence how likely a person is to return it? Classical economic theories suggest that the greater the appeal, the less likely we are to be honest-but a new study turns the idea on its head, finding altruism(利他主义)，and a powerful hate for viewing oneself as a thief outweigh the financial attraction.A team of researchers conducted a huge experiment concerning 355 cities in 40 countries. More than 17,000 identical wallets were dropped off at public places, each containing a grocery list, a key, and three business cards in the local language using made-up names and an email address. Some had no money while others contained the equivalent(等值)of $13.45.According to the research, people on average returned 40% of wallets with no money in them but 51 % with money. It also shows extreme differences between countries. But although rates of peoples honesty varied greatly from country to country, one thing remained remarkably constant: wallets with money, as opposed to no money, raised reporting rates.In the US, the UK and Poland, they repeated the experiment with even more money: $94.15, which increased reporting rates by an average of 11 % compared to the smaller amount. They also found that having a key expanded reporting rates by 9.2%.The findings, which run counter to a fundamental principle of classical economics, suggest honesty, altruism and self-image can sometimes be more influential than economic self-interest.A purely economic approach to behavior suggests people would keep the wallets with the larger amounts of money due to the increased financial reward, but economics often doesnt account for a persons sense of honesty or self-image, according to behavioral scientists. Altruism also influenced the findings, the researchers say. Since the key is valuable to the owner but not the finder, this pointed toward an altruism concern in addition to the cost of negatively updating ones self image.32. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?A. Introduce a new topic for discussion.B. Add some background information.C. Describe a widely conducted experiment.D. Provide the research results for the readers.33. Whats the average reporting rate of a wallet with $94.15 inside?A. 11%. B. 20.2%. C. 51%. D. 62%.34.What does the underlined phrase run counter to in Paragraph 5 mean?A. Go against. B. Account for. C. Agree with. D. Focus on.35. Whats the main idea of the text?A. Classical economic theories have already been out of date.B. People are more likely to return a lost wallet with more cash.C. An experiment conducted worldwide proves peoples altruism.D. Rates of peoples honesty vary greatly from country to country.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)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，选项中有两项为多余选项。Its great fun with your favorite four-legged friend outdoors.
