People in ancient China worked long hours each day. To relax, they invented many games. Here are some of them.
Shuttlecock
Shuttlecock (jianzi in Chinese) can go back to over 2,000 years ago during the Han Dynasty. This traditional Chinese game is very simple. It has only one rule: keep the shuttlecock in the air without using your hands. Players try to kick as many as possible. Nowadays, students have shuttlecock lessons in some schools.
Chinese yo-yo
Chinese yo-yo (kongzhu in Chinese), is an hourglass-shaped toy. It is made of wood or bamboo and played with a string. The string connects two hand sticks. This fun game is popular in north China. The players move the hand sticks up and down to let the toy go round. Some good players can even throw it up into the air and then catch it on the string.
Chuiwan
Chuiwan was one of the ball games in ancient China, which chuiwan was very popular in the Song Dynasty. “Chui” means “ ” and “wan” means “ball”. This sport was similar to golf. On a large field, the players were divided into two groups. Usually there were 2 to 10 people in each group. Everyone had three chances to get the ball into holes with a stick. Only when three strikes into the hole were achieved did the player win the point.
Cuju
First recorded 2,000 years ago, cuju is known as the earliest form of football. The ball was made of leather on the outside and filled with rice bran inside. As a fun and relaxing game, cuju was used in the army to train soldiers. Its rules were similar to football’s. Each team usually had 12 or 16 players. No hands were allowed. Only feet and the head could be used. The ball should be kicked into the opposite goal.
50.Why did ancient Chinese people invent many games
A. To relax themselves. B. To make themselves stronger.
C. To work for long hours. D. To have competitions with others.
51.Which games can be played with hands
A. Chinese yo-yo and chuiwan. B. Chuiwan and cuju.
C. Shuttlecock and Chinese yo-yo. D. Cuju and shuttlecock.
52.Which word can be filled in the blank in the Chuiwan part

C
From different TV dramas or books, we can often hear titles like quanzi, taoliand kaimo. In fact, they are part of Chinese history and culture.
In China, it’s a modest (谦虚的) way for Chinese parents to introduce their sons by calling quanzi while they use linglang to show respect for others. Although their children are successful, they don’t usually talk about this in public. Instead, they try to play it down. This is similar to Hanshe that Chinese people may call their big houses.
There is another Chinese expression taoli mantianxia, which means a teacher has lots of students across the country, like trees full of peaches and plums (桃和李). It comes from a story about Zizhi. As a teacher, Zizhi was kind and strict. He often pointed at the peach or plum trees in his yard to ask his students to work hard. “You should try to be a successful person in your fields, just as the peach and plum trees,” he said. Keeping these words in mind, many of his students did as he said and made it.
In Chinese, kaimo means “role model”. Both words have a “木” on their left side. People believe that kai and mo might be two kinds of trees in ancient China. It was said that there were many kai trees growing near Confucius’ tomb (孔子墓). These trees were so straight that they made people think of Confucius’ quality-straight and honest. The mo trees were said to grow near the tomb of the Duke of Zhou. The straightness and the leaves’ pure color of trees were like his wonderful quality. Since kai and mo trees grew near the tombs of two great people, kaimo was then used to stand for role models.
54.According to paragraph 2, Chineseplay it down by ________.
A. inviting friends to visit their Hanshe
B. calling others’ sons linglang
C. wanting their children to be successful
D. calling their own sons quanzi
55.Taoliis used to refer to ________ from paragraph 3.
A. peach and plum trees
B. hard-working teachers
C. flowers and fruit of trees
D. successful students in their fields
56.What do kai and mo trees have in common (共同点) from the last paragraph
A. They are both straight.
B. They have pure leaves.
C. They are planted in the same place.
D. Their names both have a “木”on the right side.
57.What’s the main idea of the passage
A. It tells us how to be a good teacher like Zizhi.
B. It shows us different ways Chinese people respect others.
C. It introduces some Chinese words about history and culture.
D. It explains why Chinese people like to plant trees near tombs.
D
Tim Berners-Lee is not the most famous inventor in the world. However, his invention has changed our lives.
He was born in London, England in 1955. When he was a small boy, Tim was interested in playing with electrical things. He studied science at Oxford University. He made his first computer from an old television at the age of 21.
Tim started working on early computers. At that time, they were much bigger than now. He worked in England then Switzerland. Tim was really interested in two things, computers and how the brain works. How could the brain connect so many facts so quickly He had to work with people all over the world. They shared information about computers. It was hard to manage all the information. He answered the same questions again and again. It took a lot of time. It was even difficult for computers in the same office in Switzerland to share information. Tim also forgot things easily. Could a computer work like a brain Could it “talk” to other computers
There was an Internet already but it was difficult to use. In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web (WWW) all by himself. This had a special language that helped computers talk to each other on the Internet. When people wanted to share information with others, they used the World Wide Web. The Internet grew quickly after that.
Tim Berners-Lee doesn’t think he did anything special. He says that all of the ideas about the Internet were already there. All he did was to put them together. He says that many other people worked together to make the Internet what it is today.
Most inventors want to become rich. But Tim gave away the World Wide Web for nothing. He now works in America. He helps people share technology and wants the Internet to be free for everyone to use. Maybe he is the most important but least famous inventor in the world today!
58.What was Tim Berners-Lee interested in
A. Looking for jobs in different cities.
B. Talking to people around the world.
C. Studying how to connect computers.
D. Exploring how to improve memory.

B. He made the first computer when he was 21 years old.
C. He helped people understand better how the brain works.

Recently, a strange but interesting trend called “keeping lobsters” has become popular among young Internet users. You might be surprised—these are not real sea lobsters. They are AI agents (AI智能体), a new kind of smart computer program that can really do tasks for people.
The name comes from a popular AI tool called OpenClaw, whose logo is a lobster. In the past, most AI could only chat with you or answer simple questions. They could not take real actions. But today, these “digital lobsters” are able to work like real helpers. After getting your permission, they can control your computer, manage files, write simple code, send emails, and even organize meeting notes.
What’s more, these AI agents can learn from your habits and work independently. That is why young people joke that they are “raising” a smart digital pet. This new fashion shows clearly that AI is rapidly changing from a simple talking tool into a practical and helpful assistant in our daily life.
(1) Where does the name “keeping lobsters” come from __________________________________________
(2) What could most AI only do in the past _________________________________________
(3) Why do young people joke that they are “raising” a smart digital pet _________________________________________
(4) Do you think AI agents will be helpful in your daily life Why or why not _________________________________________
