Most 15-year-olds are worrying about their math homework and trying to fit in with other kids of their age. But Henry Patterson is busy running a successful online business instead.
    Patterson, a teenager from Bedfordshire, a county in the East of England, started a business called Not Before Tea when he was just nine. He began by selling sweets but soon turned to household products like wash bags and soft toys. The items he sells are based on characters from a book he wrote called The Adventures of Sherb and Pip.
    Patterson’s early school years were difficult, as he didn’t behave or think in the same way as other children of his age. He saw the world differently and was seldom invited to parties or playdates. He also had a stammer (口吃), which made him feel even more lonely.
    But these things didn’t hold him back. To cheer himself up, Patterson gradually spent much time in designing different animals and writing interesting stories about them. His characters started to become popular. He tried very hard to express himself clearly and talk to bigger audiences. His business has earned him 65, 000 pounds and he has spoken at the National Retail Business Awards for Teenagers.
    On top of this, he does his best to keep his schoolwork as a priority. He takes his homework with him to events and does it on the train or after a presentation.
    Two years ago, he wrote a book called Young and Mighty. It describes his search for success and happiness. “The real point of the book is to help people my age think about how to make their way in the world,” he wrote.
56．What is Patterson’s business?
A．Helping teens with their math homework. B．Selling household products.
C．Selling sweets and tea. D．Selling books.
57．What was Patterson like in his early school years?
A．He tried hard to play with others. B．He fell behind his classmates.
C．He went to lots of parties. D．He had a speech problem.
58．How did Patterson deal with his loneliness?
A．By designing things and writing stories. B．By talking to different people.
C．By reading interesting stories. D．By doing part-time jobs.
59．The underline word “priority” probably means ________.
A．real meaning B．excellent result
C．second matter D．good belief
60．What do the last two paragraphs tell us?
A．Patterson wants to be a writer in the future. B．Patterson will help other students do business.
C．Patterson balances business and school well. D．Patterson will join more school activities.

C
Cities around the world are racing to become “smart”. It’s just like a classroom full of hard-working students. Take Toronto, Canada, for example. Tech company Google has made public a 1,500-page plan. It is going to remake two neighborhoods with things like snow-melting roads.
To build smart cities, we need lots of new technologies, such as robots and artificial intelligence (AI). These technologies will lead to safer and more efficient (效率高的) cities. However, they will also raise questions about privacy.
But there is a more serious problem: Smart cities will be difficult to manage.
As we know, tech products are sometimes unreliable (不可靠的). The Internet and our computers break down regularly. Tech products also age quickly. Only a few years into their lives, problems may become commoner and commoner.
In smart cities, many basic systems and services, such as water services, are based on such tech products. What if they break down regularly? Can you imagine the result?
New technologies in 2020 will be outdated before 2025. If we use smart technologies widely in cities, we will need to be prepared to replace them every few years. But who would want to pay this bill?
The most important problem is whether having a smart city will make us better at solving urban problems. Smart technologies can’t solve problems on their own. Suppose AI programs discover a road that needs to be repaired. It still requires people to show up with asphalt (沥青) and a steamroller (蒸汽压路机), doesn’t it?
As an engineer, I think smart technologies should have a place in cities. However, that place is not everywhere. For many of our urban problems, we don’t really need the latest technologies. The best of the old ideas works better.
61．The underlined word “students” refers to ________.
A．cities in Canada B．advanced technologies
C．cities around the world D．people living in the cities
62．According to the article, what is Google going to do?
A．Invent snow-melting roads. B．Make the company more efficient.
C．Remake two neighborhoods in Toronto. D．Make public a plan for rebuilding Toronto.
63．According to the article, what do we need to build smart cities?
A．The best of old ideas. B．Lots of new technologies.
C．Asphalt and steamrollers. D．The internet and computers.
64．According to the author, smart cities will be ________.
A．not as efficient as imagined B．easier to manage
C．safe and convenient D．harmful to the environment
65．The example of a road that needs to be repaired is used to show ________.
A．tech products break down regularly in smart cities
B．it is difficult and expensive to manage a smart city
C．smart technologies can’t solve problems on their own
D．many new technologies become outdated within five years
