Ever since that incident, Messi has gained a lot of love from football fans all over the world.

Even after becoming one of the biggest stars in the sport, Messi has not forgotten the difficult times. Consequently, in 2007,he established the Leo Messi Foundation which is to provide healthcare and also education to poor and vulnerable（脆弱的）children. Messi is surely a very inspirational figure who has made it big on the basis of his determination and skill and has combatted a difficult past to come out on top.

In a high-tech lab on John's Hopkins University's Homewood campus in Maryland, engineers have been building a robot that may be able to stitch（缝针）back together the broken tissues in your stomach and even your brain,no doctor needed.

The robot has a high-tech camera on one arm and a high-tech sewing machine on a second arm. The goal is to develop, in the next several years, a robot that makes the delicate work more consistent.

The robot, known as Smart Tissue Autonomous Robot, or STAR, which is run by a highly advanced computer program, will advance technology currently in wide use in operating rooms. The robot completes about a stitch a minute, slightly slower than a human surgeon. But the tests so far have shown more consistency than what the humans can achieve.

Long hours of traditional surgery can cause human hands to get tired and tremble, which may cause accidents during an operation. Robert Langer, an engineer, said the robotic arm could change the way surgeries are done. He has helped found dozens of biotech companies including Galen Robotics. The robotic arm being developed by Hopkins engineers is this company's product.

Galen CEO Bruce Lichorowic compared the robotic arm to future for surgeons, saying it increases their stability，reduces tiredness and prevents cramps（抽搐）during long surgeries，all of which lead to safer surgeries.

Galen Robotics has its roots in research from Johns Hopkins University, but the company had been based in Silicon Valley until 2019."The company currently employs about 40 people, about half of whom have advanced degrees from Johns Hopkins,” said Lichorowic, adding that the company plans to grow to 60 positions by the end of the year.

Galen's robotic arm is not for sale yet, but Lichorowic said the company expects to submit an application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration(FDA) later this year.

28. What can STAR do?

A. Shorten operation time.

B.Replace human surgeons.

C. Conduct medical studies.

D.Make operations smooth.

29. What does Lichorowic think of STAR?

A.Flexible.

B.High-cost.

C.Promising.

D.Unpredictable.

30.What can we know about Galen Robotics?

A.It is sponsored by Jchn's Hopkins University.

B. It still has its base in Silicon Valley now.

C. It is scheduled to expand within this year.

D.Its robot arm will be released later this year.

31.In which column is this text most likely to appear?

A.Mind & Brain.

C.Business& Investment.

B.Health & Technology.

D.Physics & Medicine.

For almost all of human history. the Earth's population has tended to be younger. But since the last World Population Day on July 11. a major shift occurred: There are now more people aged 65 and older than there are under age five.

World Population Day was established by the United Nations Development Program in 1989 to bring attention to population issues. Having more people on the planet is not the only concern, though, since a population's age structure matters, too.

Increased lifetime is a remarkable human success story, but having more elderly people also creates a number of socioeconomic concerns. The global population will continue to age as these two groups grow in opposite directions. By 2100,the percentage of the population aged 65 and older will rise to nearly 25 percent-about five times that of children under five.

“Most developed countries have been aging for a century, giving them time to prepare for the changes. But developing countries will become old before they become rich," says researcher Toshiko Kaneda. Many countries in Latin America and Asia are aging much faster and have less time and resources to prepare health-care systems.

What are the consequences of an older global population? Supporting elderly people is more expensive than caring for young ones. Pressing issues arise like how to provide long-term care, and maintain a labor force. In developed regions like Europe, where 10 percent of the population over age 50 is childless, elderly care is a major worry.

＂Not a single country has been able to change declining trends（趋势）in fertility（生育）despite government requests for people to reproduce as has been done across Europe and in Japan," Kaneda says. “ The aging trend is continuous.”

“But declining fertility rates can have positive effects too.”  says Kaneda. When fertility rates decline but the population hasn't aged yet, governments can spend more on secondary and higher education, and benefit the economy. Both Thailand and South Korea have seized the opportunity during this ideal period.

32.What do we know about the global population?

A.It's becoming younger now.

B.Age structure matters more than population size.

C.People are living longer and having fewer kids.

D.Developed countries are facing tougher challenges.

33.Which chart might show the global trend in the percentage of children under five?

34.What's Kaneda's attitude towards the global population issue?

A. Critical.

B. Objective.

C. Optimistic.

D. Doubtful.

35.What is the text mainly about?

A.The declining trend in the fertility rates.

B.The consequences of the aging population.

C.The establishment of World Population Day.

D.The present situation of the global population.

I'm writing to you to talk about my opinions about traditional Chinese culture. I think it's necessarily for us to protect and inherit it.  Here is some reasons.

Firstly, as one of the ancient civilization in the world, the traditional Chinese culture is the foundation of the development of our country, but it can provide spiritual motivation for Chinese economy. Secondly, it includes many inspiring and amazed events, through what we can learn some useful things to make our country develop more quickly. Last but not least, it is a important part of Chinese history, and inheriting it may make us more stronger and benefit our growth.

I hope the Chinese government and citizens participate the campaign of protecting and inherit traditional Chinese culture. We should make contributions and efforts to carry it forward.

Dear Jim,

How are you doing? I'm glad to know you are interested in Chinese literature. So I'd like to share one of my favourite stories with you.

Cao Chong Weighs the Elephant is a story I like best. It tells how Cao Chong, a smart young boy, used a simple method to find out the weight of the heaviest animal on land. At that time, it was almost a task impossible for grown-ups to do, you know. How fascinating to read it!

Other stories about Cao Chong were written in the well-known novel Three Kingdoms. I strongly recommend you (should) take time to read it. I'm sure you can learn  more useful life wisdom from the book.

Wish to hear from you early.

Yours,

Li Hua
