When I was five years old, I played the role of the tortoise in a play. I had one line at the end when I beat the sleeping rabbit:The slow and steady one wins the race.

I've always felt that those words guide my work.1am never the fastest but I keep going.

My goal is always the same: to learn more this year than what I learned last year.The goal of education is not to have much knowledge as quickly as possible,but to have useful knowledge and keep it in the brain.1 don't care how”fast"students learn something as a teacher.There may be a lot of reasons someone picks up a subject or topic more quickly: more background, knowing the material early, more sleep that night,less stress, and so on. We deal with information differently. When I

see slow students, that's what I think of: Are those the students who will keep learning over their entire lifetime，and leave the”quick"students far behind?

I was slow in my math classes in university.Looking back on those days,I've come to realize that one of the ways I learn is " mistake based" . That means I learn by

making mistakes. This may be slower than other ways of leaning, but when I learn something, I really learn it.

I seldom worried about " slow learners" when teaching medical students. I knew

these young men and women could learn.There is a lot of material to learn in medicine，but there is also lots of time. Like in so many other jobs, knowledge is

only a part of being a doctor. I spent decades learning enough to be a doctor and decades more keeping up and improving. It never stops,and never should.

24.What does the author believe in terms of work?

A.Always finish what you have started.

B.Having a goal in mind can get you far.

A.Every steady step bring you progress.

A.More knowledge means more chances.

25.Which kind of students may the author like?

A.A playful bust talented student.

B.A careless but fast student.

C A stupid but well-behaved student.

D. A slow but thoughtful student.

26. What does the author think of the mistake-based leaning way?

A Perfect. B.Welcome. C. Practical D. Common.

27.In the author's opinion, what can make a good doctor?

A.High intelligence.

B.Continuous improvement.

C The ability to lean fast.

D. Rich professional knowledge.

The race to 5G is on. All four major US carriers now have some form of 5G wireless，although it's all limited roll-outs in only a few cities, mostly using expensive phones that won't support future nationwide5G networks. We're tracking the roll-outs monthly on our Race to5G page.

The early5G roll -outs are more like a public test than a final product. AT&T,

Verizon, and T-Mobile are all using technological that only travel about800feet from

a cell site, which means there isn't much coverage.All four carriers are waiting for upgrades(升级) to their base stations that will improve coverage,speed, and reliability. Around the end of this year or the beginning of 2020，AT&T,Verion,and T-Mobile all

频谱)，which will intend to launch5G networks that use the existing4G

spectrum( have slower speeds but broader coverage.

We've tested AT&T in Dallas and Las Vegas; Sprint in Dallas and New York; Verizon in Chicago,New York, and Providence;and T-Mobile in New York. Every month,we've been seeing better performance and more new devices,It's messy. It's very early days, And if you like new technology,it's very exciting.

5G stands for fifth-generation cellular(蜂窝状的)wireless,and the initial standards of it were set at the end of 2017.But a set of standards doesn't mean that all 5G will work the same一or that we even know what applications5G will enable. There will be slow but responsive5G, and fast5G with limited coverage.

28. What is the present state of 5C in the US?

A. Initial exploration.

B. Great improvement.

C. Wide application.

D. Extensive promotion.

29. Why does the author take4G for example?

B.To remind people of4G's importance.

C.To prove5G takes time to make a greater difference.

D.To show 5G has failed to meet expectations.

Dxperts note that an unhealthy lifestyle can put you at great risk of heart disease. Poor diet, having too much body fat and a lack of physical exercise all increase your

risk of heart disease.So doctors urge us to eat healthy foods and get exercise.But there is something else you can do. And it is free and easy.Smile!

A study led by Anand Chockalingam,a heart disease specialist at University of Missouri Health Care in Columbia shows when we smile,the brain will change and

the chemicals that are given off are more positive.

The main cause of heart attacks is blockages in blood vessels (血管). These

prevent blood from flowing to the heart or the brain.The most common reason for these blockages is a build-up of fatty deposits on the inner walls of the arteries (动脉)。

When you feel stressed or under pressure,your body releases many natural hormones including adrenaline and cortisol.Adrenaline increases your heart rate and blood pressure. Cortisol is the body's main stress hormone. It increases sugars in the bloodstream.Researchers claim that when people are stressed for long periods,they

may not make the best decisions about what to eat.They may overeat or not get enough exercise or sleep.And all of this may lead to heart problems.

Dr. Chockalingam says a smile may be one way to help.He tells his patients to

smile20 times an hour. To some,that might seem like a lot of smiling Or some might

even feel foolish... smiling for seemingly no reason. But a smile does not involve drug. It is free and it has no bad side effects.”Once people smile, they are relaxing.

This relation directly lowers blood pressure, improves sugar levels in the blood, which may provide an extra shield for everyone's beat health.”

32. What did Dr.Chockalingam's research find?

A.Smiling can help our heart.

B.Smiling may cure heart disease.

C.Heart disease is mainly due to stress.

D.Fatness increases chance of heart disease.

33. What is the third paragraph mainly about?

A.Risk factors in heart disease.

B.The harm of fatty deposits to the heart.

C.The importance of a healthy lifestyle.

D.Links between stress and heart disease.

34. What's the meaning of " shield"underlined in the last paragraph?

A. Motivation.

B.Protection.

C. Examination.

D. Observation.

35. What is the author's purpose of writing the text?

A.To present findings of research.

B.To introduce a healthy lifestyle.

C.To reveal the power of smiling.

D. To explain causes of heart disease.

Dear Tom,

I'm writing to offer my sincere apologies for missing the chance to go climbing with you this weekend.

We're both keen on watching sunrise at the top of the mountain. But what I didn't anticipate before is that to prepare for the traditional Chinese opera festival,，our team

is informed to rehearse the play this weekend in the city hall. I feel terribly sorry once again.Would you be interested in coming to watch our rehearsing this weekend?And

if possible,maybe you could join us for the festival since I know you are a traditional Chinese opera lover.

Hope you can accept my apologies and understand my situation.Look forward to your reply.

Yours,

Li Hua
