It was another day to jump rope in PE class. Lynn and Mike turned the long rope in big, slow circles. The whole class hurried to get in line to wait for their turn to jump. Millie stood at the back of the line and frowned.
Nick went first. He watched the rope and ran in at just the right time. Everyone counted. He made it all the way to 30 jumps. One after another, the kids watched the rope, ran in, and jumped. Then it was Millie’s turn. She watched the rope go around and ar ound, but she didn’t move. She felt like everyone was looking at her.
Millie’s friends cheered. “Go, Millie, go!”
Millie’s face turned red. At last, she gave it a try, but she failed.
The truth was that Millie had been jumping rope at home every day. With a short rope, she could jump 100 times without missing. She just didn’t know how to run in and start jumping with a long rope. Since she was the only kid on her street, there was no one to help turn the long rope.
Just then, Ms. Miles, the PE teacher, brought out a bunch of short jump ropes.
“Let’s see how long each one of you can jump without missing,” she said as she gave each student a short rope, “Ready, set. Go!”
Millie smiled for the first time ever in PE class. As she jumped, she sang rhymes quickly to herself.
After a while, Millie realized that everyone was cheering, “Go, Millie, go!”
She was the only one still jumping rope! The surprise almost made her miss a step, but she kept going. When at last she was too tired to go on, she stopped. The whole class cheered. Everyone was looking at her and smiling. Millie smiled back!
41.Which word is the opposite of the underlined word frowned?
A.Sat.
B.Hid.
C.Smiled
D.Cried
42.What problem did Millie have at the beginning of the story?
A.She didn't have any friends in her class.
B.She felt sad because Nick made fun of her.
C.She didn't know the cheers that the other kids knew.
D.She didn't know how to start jumping with a long rope.

B.She knew the class would cheer for her.
C.She thought that she was going to make a friend.
D.She believed that she would be the winner of the contest.
44.Which sentence can be put in the empty? A.The class decided to play baseball.
https://www.360docs.net/doc/6c15229070.html,lie was the last one still jumping rope.

D.Silly.D Is your TV connected to the Internet? What about your chair, or your fridge? Possibly they are not. But in the future, most things in your home may be connected, thanks to the so-called “Internet of things”. The Internet of things may be coming sooner than you think. Earlier this year, Samsung CEO spent a lot of time talking about the Internet things. He said that five years from now, every Samsung product will be part of the Internet of things, no matter whether it ’s a remote control or a washing machine.
So, how do household(家用的) objects that are part of the Internet of things work? Well, think of a common chair. When connected to the Internet, the chair warms up when it knows the user has just walked into the room and is feeling cold.
An Internet-connected camera could help people feel safer in their homes. It can know people ’s faces and has an infrared sensor(传感器), so even if it’s dark i t can see when someone passes by and send you a message on your smartphone to let you know who ’s there. If the person is someone you don ’t know, it can tell you that, too.
But according to MIT Technology Review, whether companies are connecting dog food bowls or security systems to the Internet, there may be problems. For example, many early connected-home objects don ’t have much built-in security, which means they could be hacked(被黑客攻击). Moreover, it could be difficult to get these new machines to work together especially when they are made by different companies. To fight this, many companies have joined the Open Interconnect Consortium, which had 45 members by late 2015.
So, picture this: you enter your home. The temperature changes to make you feel comfortable. Your favorite music starts playing for you. Do you think that this would be a good thing? It may happen sooner than you think.
