I have a friend who found a wallet and through a series of amazing circumstances found the owner who was part of a migrant group from Jamaica who came to the United States to pick apples. The way she found him and what happened next were truly miracu-lous.

One day recently， Laurie Fenby， was shopping at a garage sale in Rochester， New York and as she was leaving， she found a wallet on the ground. She looked inside and found a Jamaican driver"s license， some American cash and some Jamaican cash. She tried all the usual ways to locate the man， whose name was George.

She couldn"t find him through Google or Facebook and then she asked for suggestions through Nextdoor， a community website. Laurie received a lot of ideas and responses—some of them not so positive. But one lady suggested that she contact a little store that is known to have many Jamaican migrant workers as clients. Laurie called the store and found that yes， indeed， there was someone named George who lost his wallet.

She suggested that the owner contact George and have him call her. When George contacted her， he was able to identify all the con-tents of the wallet and Laurie returned it.

But it didn"t stop there. Laurie asked George， “What do you and the migrant workers need？” He said they needed some warm clothes. Laurie immediately contacted the next?door community and organized a clothing drive. She received lots of T?shirts， sweatshirts， shoes and other supplies.

Recently Laurie met George and the other migrant workers here in Rochester， and she joined them to pick apples together. They thanked Laurie and her friends—and none of this community?building or friendship would have happened if the wallet had stayed in George"s pocket.

If you mention “voice technology”， most people think of Alexa， Siri or Cortana. While personal artificial intelligence （AI） assistants are becoming increasingly popular in our ev-eryday lives， they are just one use of voice tech—and are primarily designed for adults.

Irish tech company SoapBox Labs wants that to change. The company has developed speech recognition technology designed specifically for children， and it"s already in use across a range of applications， from toys to education apps.

Children"s voices differ from those of adults. “Typically， they have a higher pitch （音高） or use different language or speech patterns， which regular voice technology cannot al-ways pick up on，” explains Patricia Scanlon， SoapBox"s founder. “It"s understandable that an industry that has spent decades working on technology and only focusing on adults runs into a fairly significant problem when they try to apply it to children.”

Rather than making slight changes to the available voice technology already on the market， SoapBox built its voice engine from scratch—focusing on children aged 2 to 12. The company says it created a data set to train its AI system， made up of thousands of hours of children"s speech collected in real?world noisy environments—kitchens， class-rooms and cars—from kids of all ages， accents and dialects （方言）， from a total of 192 countries.

This opens up a whole new market， for which there"s a growing demand. More than 8 billion digital voice assistants are expected to be in use by 2024， up from 4 billion in 2020， and there is an increased focus on adapting the tech for children.

SoapBox， which is selling a technology rather than a product， has attracted more than 50 clients from around the world. The technology can help a child learn to read or learn a language. It acts as a helpful adult， reacting immediately to the child and giving them one?on?one time， and it can also help to record a child"s progress and provide feedback （反馈） to a teacher or parents. The technology is also being used by toy developers and gaming companies that want to create voice?enabled toys that can chat to the child， or virtual reality experiences.38FEC368-C650-4D42-ADE6-5F0FBCBF81DF

8. What makes SoapBox different from Cortana？

A. Its use of voice tech. B. Its creative use of AI.

C. Its being aimed at children. D. Its wide range of applications.

9. What does Patricia Scanlon imply in paragraph 3？

A. A lot of effort has gone into developing SoapBox.

B. Voice technology has much room for development.

C. There has been a great demand for a system like SoapBox.

D. SoapBox understands adults" voices better than that of children"s.

10. What did SoapBox use to build its voice engine？

A. Recordings of 192 dialects. B. Data from a previous system.

C. Speech from people of all ages. D. Re?recorded children"s speech.

11. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “clients” in the last para?graph？

A. Markets. B. Customers. C. AI assistants. D. Tech companies.

D

Almost everyone who has studied English has been warned about the way Brits love their manners. It is part of our national identity， as much as fish and chips or complaining about the weather. Recently I have been wondering where this comes from and I read on-line that we say “sorry” up to eight times a day， probably the same amount of times that any other person says “hello” or “how are you”. It is almost like a greeting to us！ It was only when I was explaining how there are five steps of saying “thank you” when you buy something from a shop of a Mexican friend of mine that I realised how mad it sounded.

After some research， I have not been able to find any specific reasons why we are the way we are. I suppose for centuries manners of how we eat at the table and talk to other people have been the barriers between the lower and upper classes and represent your so-cial status. Britain has traditionally been a quite conservative and reserved country. There are many articles suggesting that this seemingly polite attitude of always saying “please” and “thank you” is quite false because it is impossible to always feel that you want to thank someone or say “please”.

Maybe it is for this reason that people are going one of two ways：
they are incredibly polite and hold back on their feelings or not polite at all， and express their true feelings. Some Brits are fed up with pretending that they are always content and having to please people. Sometimes because we feel we have to be polite， we are prevented from saying what we truly think. Some people feel that the hard truth is the best way to be polite. Do you think it is better to not hurt people"s feelings and be polite or to let people know the truth？ I know in some countries if someone is considered to be doing their job， the clients think that they do not need to be thanked.38FEC368-C650-4D42-ADE6-5F0FBCBF81DF

12. What does the author think of the British way of saying “thank you”？

A. It"s normal. B. It"s formal. C. It"s exciting. D. It"s surprising.

13. What does the author want to find out？

A. Why the British care about their manners so much.

B. Why the British like to complain about the weather.

C. Why the British are fond of fish and chips so much.

D. Why the British have five steps of saying “thank you”.

14. What does the author think manners have stood for for centuries？

A. Attitudes. B. Politeness.

C. Social status. D. Wealth and health.

15. Why are the British unwilling to say what they think？

A. They want to show their social status.

B. They think that they have to be polite.

C. They don"t want to let people know the truth.

D. They just don"t want to express their true feelings.

If you have an addiction， you"re not alone. One in three of us are addicted to something. Addiction is defined as not having control over doing， taking or using something to the point where it could be harmful to you.16But it"s possible to be addicted to anything， including work， the Internet， and shopping.

17In the case of substance abuse （for example， drugs and alcohol）， an addiction can have serious psychological and physical effects. Some studies suggest addiction is genetic， but environmental factors， such as being around other people with addictions， are also thought to increase the risk. An addiction can be a way of blocking out difficult issues. Unemployment and poverty can cause addiction， along with stress， including emotional or professional pressure.

18In the case of drugs， alcohol and nicotine， these substances affect the way you feel， both physically and mentally. These feelings can be enjoyable and create a powerful urge to use the substances again. This can develop into a habit that becomes very hard to stop. Being addicted to something means that not having it causes withdrawal symptoms， or a “come down”. Because this can be unpleasant， it can feel easier to carry on having or doing what you crave.19

Addiction is a treatable condition.20You could see the doctor for advice or contact an organisation that specializes in helping people with addictions.

A. So the cycle continues.

B. There are lots of ways you can seek help.38FEC368-C650-4D42-ADE6-5F0FBCBF81DF

C. There are lots of reasons why addictions begin.

D. Addiction is most commonly associated with drugs， alcohol and nicotine.

E. Shopping becomes an addiction when you buy things you don"t need or want.

F. If you have an addiction you are looking to overcome， then please do get in touch.

G. The pressure of managing an addiction can damage your studies， work life and rela?tionships.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

“Number 7， Jobie Nymble， takes the lead，” cried the announcer. “Just one more hurdle （跨栏） and Jobie Nymble from Riverside Middle School takes first place in the girls" 100?meter hurdles！”

“County championships， here we come，” yelled Jobie， patting （轻拍） her worn green track spikes （钉鞋）. They were her lucky shoes and she loved them. “Next Saturday， we"re taking the gold home，” Jobie whispered to her spikes.

“Don"t forget， guys，” said Marisol， one of her teammates. “My birthday party is next Friday at Hidden Park. You should all come.”

The day of Marisol"s party came. Jobie put on her favorite clothes：
her blue shorts， an old track T?shirt， and her lucky spikes. The party had begun when Jobie arrived at Hidden Park. She stopped by the track first， planning to do some running exercise. Even at that end of the park， music and the smell of grilled food filled the air.

Two of Jobie"s teammates rushed toward her， breathless and barefoot. “Come on，” they shouted. “You have to try the slide.” Jobie"s eyes shot at the party area. “Slide？ What sli...？”

Suddenly， she saw it. The biggest inflatable （需充气的） slide she had ever seen was on the far side of the park. Smiling kids zoomed down the slide at an unspeakable speed.

Without thinking twice， Jobie threw off her spikes and ran fast toward the slide. Its ladder rose to the sky， but she reached the top in no time. She slid down， sped to the edge， and closed her eyes as she let go. Jobie couldn"t get enough fun from the slide.

When it was time to go home finally， she unwillingly made her way back to the track where she"d left her shoes. As she eyed the area from a distance， panic set in. When Jobie picked up the pace， the closer she got， the faster her heart beat. When she reached the place where she"d left them， her heart stopped.

“They"re gone！” she screamed. “My lucky spikes are gone.” Jobie"s teammates helped her search the park. No lucky spikes. “So long， gold，” Jobie groaned （叹息）.

注意：续写词数应为150左右。

Paragraph 1：

The next day， the best track teams in the county gathered at Hidden Park for the championships.
