He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport (护照).He reported the case to the police and then sat there, lost and lonely in a strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husbands name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can(垃圾桶) that had been left out on the footpath.My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.24. What did Rashid plan to do after his arrival in Sydney?A. Go shopping.B. Find a house. C. Join his family. D.

You feel upset if your phone is getting low on power, and you secretly worry things will go wrong at work if youre not there. All these can be called “always on” stress caused by smartphone addiction.For some people, smart phones have freed them from the nine-to-five work. They have more freedom in their working lives and they are able to spend more time with their friends and families. For many others, though, smart phones have become tyrants (暴君) in their pockets, never allowing them to turn them off and relax.Pittsburgh-based developer Kevin Holesh was worried that he was spending too much time on his iPhone over his family and friends. So he developed an app, Moment, to monitor his usage. The app enables users to see how much time theyre spending on the phones and set up warnings if the usage limits are broken. “Moments goal is to improve balance in your life,” he explains. “Some time on your phone, some time off it, enjoying your loving family and friends around you.”Dr Christine said, “The effects of this “always on” culture are that your mind is never resting, and youre not giving your body time to recover, so youre always stressed. And the more tired and stressed we get, the more mistakes we make. Physical and mental health can suffer.”And as the number of smart phones is increasing, so is the amount of data. This is leading to a sort of decision paralysis (瘫痪) and is creating more stress in the workplace because people have to receive more data and communications which are often difficult to manage. “It actually makes it more difficult to make decisions and many do less because theyre controlled by it all and feel they can never escape the office,” said Dr Christine.28. Whats the first paragraph mainly about?A. The popularity of smartphones. B. The progress of modern technology.C. The reason for smartphone addiction. D. The signs of “always on” stress.29. Kevin Holesh developed Moment to.A. research how people use their mobile phonesB. warn people to spend more time with their familyC. help people control their use of mobile phonesD. increase the fun of using mobile phones30. Whats Dr Christines attitude towards “always on” culture?A. Supportive.B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Critical.31. According to the last paragraph, a greater amount of data means.A. we can make a decision more quicklyB. we will become less productiveC. we will control ourselves better D. we can work more effectivelyDChina, which boasts great inventions in ancient times, has once again showed its ability to change the world with its “new four great inventions”: high-speed railways, electronic payment, shared bicycles and online shopping. “The new four great inventions are all related to Chinas high-tech invention, which improved the quality of peoples life,” said Wu Hao, executive director of the Belt and Road Research Institute.“My wallet is no longer in use. I can buy and eat whatever I want simply with a (tap of) fingertip on my phone,” said Lin Jinlong, an overseas student from Cambodia. And he added, “We can also order food at home. If I were at home in Cambodia, I would have to go outdoors.”In recent days, Chinese companies have surprised the world with the business model of bike-sharing which is based on satellite navigation system, mobile payment, big data and other high technologies. These companies are entering overseas markets such as Singapore and Britain.“China has entered a new innovation era(创新时代), thanks to the large amounts of money China has invested in encouraging innovation,” said Bernhard Schwartlander, World Health Organization representative in China. As a huge fan of bicycles, he also expressed his affection for Chinas shared bicycles, saying that “shared bikes are bringing cycling back to peoples lives and they are making public transport more attractive and convenient, and contributing to a greener world”.Rebacca Fannin, editor of Silicon Dragon, noted that China is beginning to lead in innovation in some ways. “It is increasingly clear that China is innovating and no longer copying Western ideas. This is especially true, such as social messaging app WeChat,” she said. “This is partly of mobile use in the world.”With regard to the “new four great inventions”, Chrlie Dai, principal analyst of American market research company Forrester, said these products and services have definitely improved customer experience, boosting national and global economy at the same time.32. What can we learn from Lin Jinlongs words in Paragraph 2?A. He doesnt use his wallet any longer. B. He doesnt want to go back to Cambodia.C. He thinks it convenient to live in China.D.
