Glass marble playing, dating psychlgy, Harry Ptter and genetics, life and death ... Chinese universities have started setting up innvative new curses. In these classes, students are able t learn knwledge thrugh vivid examples and grup wrk, making learning fun.

Scanning an item at checkut is smething we take fr granted in this age f cnvenience. We can thank barcdes fr that. It’s been 50 years since the beginning f this game-changing technlgy.
On March 31, 1971, a histric meeting tk place in New Yrk City and included executives frm sme f the tp US cmpanies at that time. The meeting agreed t create a system t uniquely identify every single prduct, calling it the Glbal Trade Item Number （GTIN）, the cre f barcdes, accrding t El Mund, a Spanish newspaper.
What infrmatin des a barcde cntain? Where the prduct cmes frm, where it has been, its price, expiratin（过期时间）... yu name it. The first tw numbers indicate where that prduct has been identified （the place）, then there is the number that crrespnds t the manufacturing cmpany and the rest f the numbers uniquely identify each unit that the manufacturer makes.
Barcdes dn’t nly identify the categry f gds but als manage the number f gds. Fr example, if there are 10 cartns f milk and a custmer takes ne, it will be registered when it is scanned at the cash cunter, s the stre wner knws there are nine cartns left and manages stck accurately.
“Its creatin allwed the first digitizatin in the cntrl f the stck,” Jsé María Bnmatí, general directr f AECOC, a Spanish cmmercial assciatin, tld El Mund. “The unique identificatin f prducts at a glbal level was the key that pened the dr t retail as we knw it tday.”
In the past five decades, barcdes have prvided many cnveniences fr cmmerce. The next generatin f barcdes, such as QR cdes, can hld vastly mre infrmatin. “Their use, fr example, can tell cnsumers if a prduct cntains allergens （过敏原）, if it is rganic and infrmatin n its carbn ftprint. Ultimately, this prvides cnsumers with a greater level f trust and lyalty relating t the prducts they buy,” accrding t GS 1, the rganizatin that develps and maintains the glbal barcdes standard.
32．What des the article tell us abut barcdes?
A．They were first intrduced five decades ag.
B．They were develped by a Spanish executive.
C．The GTIN was the first versin f a barcde.
D．They are used by sme f the tp cmpanies wrldwide.
33．What infrmatin can peple get by scanning barcdes?
A．A prduct’s carbn ftprint.
B．A prduct’s marketing cmpany.
C．The allergens cntained in a prduct.
D．The remaining amunt f a certain prduct in stck.
34．What is the benefit f barcdes accrding t Jsé María Bnmatí?
A．They help imprve the quality f gds.
B．They furthered the develpment f retail.
C．They ffer cnsumers a wider chice f prducts.
D．They save cmpanies frm having t stck prducts.
35．What is the main purpse f the article?
A．T infrm readers f a new type f barcde.
B．T cmpare barcdes and QR cdes.
C．T intrduce hw barcdes were put int use.
D．T describe the develpment and imprtance f barcdes.

One pssible versin:
One f the waiters came int the kitchen, lking very wrried. “The guests are asking fr the rast,” panted the waiter, beads f sweat n his frehead. I stared at the charred rast, my mind spinning like an engine. Suddenly, the smke permeating the kitchen dragged me back t a family dinner, where my grandma cnjured a delicius dish frm a charred chicken. Letting ut an excited scream, I cked like an artist just the way she did, which finally enabled the waiter t serve the guests with a specially-flavred rast. Heaving a sigh f relief, I gave myself a thumbs-up when he dashed back anxiusly with the news.
One f the guests asked t speak t the chef. My heart skipped a beat. Gulping hard, I fllwed the waiter, shuffling with a lump in my thrat. I was n the verge f tears when I sptted my dear grandma. Much t my surprise and delight, she came specifically t cngratulate me n my new jb. “See, ur little girl has grwn int an amazing ck.” She chuckled and patted my cheek gently. As vivid memries f my childhd flashed back, it dawned n me that it was the passin and lve behind cking that made it enduringly charming. With a brand-new utlk, I returned t the kitchen and cntinued t brighten peple’s lives with delicius and satisfying fd.

M: Welcme t ur lecture tday n bilgy, fcusing specifically n animal behavir. An interesting aspect f animal behavir is the difference bserved when animals are kept in z s as ppsed t their natural habitats. In zs, animals face fewer direct survival challenges, such as the need t hunt fr fd r hide frm ther animals that might want t hurt them. This gives them mre time t d ther things. Fr example, mnkeys in zs ften spend mre time resting and playing since they always have enugh fd prvided by the zkeepers. Als, even thugh zs try t make the living areas lk like the wild, it’s still different. S, animals start ding new things they wuldn’t d in the wild. Fr instance, in the wild, female mnkeys have a lt f space and dn’t need t be very clse t thers. But in zs, because they live clser t each ther, they becme mre friendly and clean each ther’s fur.
