The conductor said, “Dr. Einstein, I know who you are. We all know who you are. I’m sure you bought a ticket. Don’t worry about it.”
Einstein nodded thankfully. The conductor continued down the aisle checking tickets. As he was ready to move to the next car, he turned around and saw the great scientist down on his hands and knees looking under his seat for his ticket.
The conductor rushed back and said, “Dr. Einstein, Dr. Einstein, don’t worry, I know who you are. No problem. You don’t need a ticket. I’m sure you bought one.”

A picture speaks a thousand words. And nowadays, people like to use emojis to show their words instead of speaking or writing. According to some experts, the Emoji is the language which develops the fastest in the UK’s history. Now in Britain, emojis are becoming more popular than short forms like “lol” (laughing out loud), or “mua” (the sound of a kiss). They are leading a new way of communication and are even thought as art!
“Big red heart” emojis seem to be well loved! Because using these emojis makes the text full of personal characters. People can have fun when they use emojis to express themselves. What’s more, using emojis can make people laugh. Teenagers in the UK also said that they really enjoyed the fact that emojis are quick and easy.
People also express their feelings by using the emojis which they like best. Have you noticed the emojis you recently used? They may show how you feel these days. In the UK, emojis like “face with tears of joy”, “face blowing a kiss” and “love heart” are the most commonly used. At

least, with the use of emojis, British people may be more fun than people think! People can also learn a lot about a culture from their emoji complaints. For example, before the emoji “cheese wedge ( 奶酪块) ” appeared, British people were always complaining that there was no cheese emoji!
Emojis are now greatly popular, but what is the future of them? Will the emoji soon be more than English as an international language? Or will the emoji be forgotten when the next big thing comes along? It is hard to say.
33. What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A. People prefer speaking to enjoying pictures.

B. Emojis have been widely accepted recently.

C. The Emoji develops fastest in the world.
D. More people like using “LOL” more than “”.
34. The following reasons make “Big red heart” emojis popular except .

A. they bring laughter and joy B．they can show people’s personality C．they are more convenient D．they make people smarter
35. How does the writer develop Paragraph 3?

A. By telling stories. B．By comparing facts. C．By giving examples.

D．By showing data. 36．Which of the following is the best title?
A．Emojis — A personal art B．Emojis — An international symbol C．Emojis — A popular language D．Emojis — An amazing discovery

Do you admire successful people? Do you think they had their success easily? As “Father of Hybrid Rice”, Yuan Longping got over great difficulties and spent his whole life working to reduce world hunger and helping to feed the country with the largest population.
Wu Mengchao, the “Father of Chinese Hepatobiliary Surgery”, focused on saving people’s lives for nearly eighty years. He performed more than 16,000 operations ( 手术) during his life. Holding the knife for such a long time deformed his fingers. Wu once said, “It would be my greatest happiness if I could work at the operating table until my dying day.”

In 1969, in order to solve the problem of treating malaria ( 疟 疾 ), Tu Youyou, a pharmacologist ( 药学家) took on the job as head of a research team. She and her teammates performed different kinds of experiments. However, the results were disappointing. Instead of
giving up, in 1972, they made it! In 2015, she received Nobel Prize.

Thomas Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, believed that every failure was a step towards success. He once said, “If I find 10,000 ways something won’t work, I haven’t failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong try is another step forward.”
Sometimes, their success was a surprise, even to themselves. The famous scientist Alexander Fleming said, “I certainly didn’t plan to revolutionize ( 变革) all medicine by discovering the world’s first antibiotic (抗生素). But I guess that was exactly what I did.”
Some people only became successful after their deaths. Not like Pablo Picasso who became famous and very rich during his lifetime, the artist Vincent Van Gogh only sold one painting all through his life and that was to a friend. But he kept painting and he painted more than 2, 000 artworks in the following ten years. Now his paintings are very popular and they sell for millions of pounds.
One thing all these people have in common is sticking to their goals no matter what.

C. Thomas Edison tried 10, 000 ways before he invented the light bulb.

D. It took Tu Youyou’s team about 3 years to reach their goal.

39. How did Alexander Fleming feel about his discovery of the first antibiotic?

A. He didn’t fully realize its importance. B．He didn’t plan to study all medicine. C．He knew exactly what his success meant.D．He felt too tired to stay awake.
40. What does the writer mainly want to tell us?

A. Not everyone can be successful.
