Today George is playing a computer football game. He is playing against the computer and he is winning. Suddenly the computer speaks to George.

27、I am connected to many people working as volunteers all over the world, even after COVID-19 broke out.

Twelve days ago, I was contacted by someone I know, a person from Kenya. He shared a story about his work for kindness and joy. In his sharing, I discovered his family and other families had no food since March 23 because of lockdown(禁闭）.

For one day I was grief-stricken for them. I mean, how could I, in North Carolina, possibly do anything to help feed a man and 50 people on the other side of the world? After a sleepless night I awoke with clarity to give money to these families. It was not a lot of money, but all that I had and I was determined to find a way to get the funds to Kenya from the US. Luckily, I succeeded in the end. My friend has been able to make the money go far buying corn, oil, fruit, and vegetables to feed 20 adults and 30 children. And now they have food.

Each day presents a new problem. Many more people in other countries in Africa have reached out to me asking for help. It is heartbreaking. I cannot help everyone with money but I am determined to help everyone I can with telling their stories through our column Global Storytellers for Kindness on our website. I asked my friend for a list of the children in his family. So now I sit with a list of 30 names, ages, and school years, wondering what on earth we can do for these children. Each night I sleep with a question and hope my dreams will give me guidance during my awake time.

Each day is filled with problems and difficulties I could never have imagined, and also thoughts, actions, and ideas that are blossoming to extend love and mercy between many humans.

28、   Hong Kong and Paris are now the world’s most expensive cities to live together with Singapore. It’s the first time that three cities have been for the first place in the 30-year history of the Economist Intelligence Unit’s 2019 Worldwide Cost of Living Survey.

Hong Kong moved up three places to join Singapore, which has been the world’s most expensive place to live for the last five years. Paris, which has been one of the top 10 since 2003, moved up this year from the second most expensive last year. Paris, Singapore and Hong Kong are all 7 percent more expensive to live than New York.

The survey released on Tuesday compares the cost of 160 items, such as food, drink, transport, utility bills, and rent, in 133 cities. The top 10 most expensive cities are largely from Asian and European cities.

● Japan’s Osaka moved up six positions, and now shares the fifth place with Switzerland’s Geneva.

● New York and Los Angeles are the only North American cities in the top 10, to seventh place, a position it shares with Denmark’s Copenhagen.

● Los Angeles was named the 10th most expensive city in the world, along with Israel’s Tel Aviv. San Francisco has also become a more expensive place to live in.

● Swiss cities Zurich and Geneva, coming in at fourth and fifth (with Osaka), had the highest costs when it came to household, personal care and entertainment.

【1】Which city ranks tenth in the world’s most expensive cities to live in?

A. Hong Kong. B. Tel Aviv. C. Geneva. D. San Francisco.

【2】Where do the top 10 most expensive cities to live in mainly come from?

29、   If you've visited a museum, you've seen it.Maybe you've even done it - taken a picture of yourself with a piece of art.Perhaps it's because you love the painting or sculpture, or maybe it was just a famous piece of art and you wanted to share with the world that you’d seen it in person.But the majority of museums forbid photography at the museum.

The reasons for banning photography vary.Some museums have pieces lent to them that aren't allowed to be photographed according to the owner's wishes, like most of the exhibits at The Tate in London.Others are concerned about what camera flashes will do to the art; bright lights can damage certain paints.Some want to preserve a certain atmosphere.Sir John Soane's Museum, a small museum in London, states that it bans photography to “maintain the unique, magical atmosphere inside.”

For other museums, the "no photography" rule is based on observed behavior that seems to fly against the idea of what the museum is for: "Personally, what I've noticed is that people spend more time taking pictures than looking at pieces of art," said Benoit Parayre, the director of communications at the Center Pompidou in Paris."They take a picture, and don't even stop in front of the paintings."

For most museums, it's purely practical.People taking selfies (自拍照) are more concerned with getting their shot than paying attention to where their bodies are, some nearly backing into objects,”complained Heidi Rosenau, the Frick's communication director.What's worse, in a busy museum, people taking photos with the art causes traffic-flow issues.Sure, some people only take a quick shot, but we all have a friend or two who spends minutes getting the "perfect" photo - now just imagine them in a museum blocking people from seeing famous works of art that they've spent time and money to come and see.

A selfie can be fun and harmless, but it can also be rude and get in the way of other people's experiences.

【1】What do we learn from the first paragraph?

A.Visitors can copy a famous piece of art.

B.Most visitors carry cameras in the museum.

C.Most exhibits of art are borrowed from others.

D.Taking pictures is not allowed in most museums.

【2】The Tate in London bans photography with the purpose of_________.

A.ensuring safety

B.preserving art works

C.maintaining an atmosphere

D.following the owner 's wishes

【3】Heidi Rosenau thinks that_________.

A.selfies takers may block others

B.selfies takers may steal the art pieces

C.selfies takers may damage the art works

D.selfies takers can better enjoy art exhibits

【4】What's the writer's attitude toward selfie?

A.Supportive. B.Neutral. C.Critical. D.Negative.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

NASA is on a journey to Mars, with a goal of sending humans to the Red Planet in the 2030s. That journey is already well under way.

For decades, the agency and its partners have sent orbiters, landers and rovers（探测器）, 【1】 increasing our knowledge about the Red Planet and paving the way for future human explorers. The Curiosity rover has gathered radiation data to help us protect future astronauts, and the upcoming Mars 2020 rover will study the 【2】 of Martian resources, including oxygen.

Building on the robotic legacy（遗产）, the human exploration of Mars crosses three thresholds（门槛）, each with 【3】 challenges as humans move farther from Earth: Earth Reliant, the Proving Ground, and Earth Independent.

Earth Reliant explorations is 【4】 on research aboard the International Space Station. The orbiting microgravity laboratory serves as a world - class test bed for the technologies and communications systems needed for human missions to deep space. Astronauts are learning about what it takes to live and work in space for long periods of time, improving our understanding of how the body changes in space and how to protect astronauts' health.

Next, we move into the Proving Ground, 【5】 a series of missions near the moon called “cislunar space” to test the capabilities we will need to live and work at Mars. Astronauts on the space station are only hours away from Earth, but the proving ground is days away, a(n) 【6】 stepping stone to a Mars mission, which will be months away from home.

Also in the 2020s, we’ll send astronauts on a year-long mission into this deep space proving ground, confirming habitation and testing our 【7】 for Mars.

Finally, we become Earth Independent, building on the knowledge 【8】 on the space station and in deep space to send humans to low-Mars orbit in the early 2030s.

This phase will also test the entry, descent（降落）and landing techniques needed to get to the Martin surface and study what's needed for in-situ resource utilization or "living off the land". NASA is already studying the 【9】 "Exploration Zones" on Mars that would offer compelling science research and provide resources our astronauts can use.

There are challenges to 【10】 Mars, but we know they are solvable. We are well on our way to getting there, landing there, and living there.
