Numbers in different countries may have different meanings. In China, some people think that some numbers bring them 16 . Take “8” for example, the Chinese pronunciation of the number “8” has almost the 17 sound as that of the Chinese character “发[fa:]”, which means making a fortune. So, many Chinese people spend a lot of 18 to get their telephone numbers or car numbers to include this number “8”. They believe without 19 doubt that the number will bring them money.

20 , others don’t believe that numbers have anything to do with good luck. They think such an idea is only an ignorant(愚昧的) and superstitious(迷信的) belief. A number is one thing, and good luck is 21 . They will ask, “22 can you ever have any good luck simply because of some lucky numbers, even if you don’t work hard, don’t have good opportunities and don’t get along well with the people around you?”

As for me, I 23 with the latter(后者). Clearly, lucky numbers are only a kind of superstition. Perhaps it holds true for some cases, but often it does not. Numbers can 24 bring good luck to a person at all and our fortune is in our own hands. So, everyone can have a good fortune only if he tries his best. Le t’s always remember “Opportunities are only for the25 mind” and “No pains, no gains.”

17.A. different B. same C. similar

18.A. time B. money C. things

20.A. However B. What’s more C. At last

21.A. other B. the other C. another

22.A. How B. What C. Why

23.A. agree B. disagree C. dislike

24.A. often B. always C. never

25.A. clever B. lucky C. prepared

One day, a couple came to the temple. The woman gave birth to a baby boy. There wasn’t a bed in the temple. So they placed the baby in the feed box. They loved him and regarded him as their treasure. The tree suddenly realized that it became a real “treasure box” at that time.

阅读下面的短文，并根据短文内容回答所提问题。（共5小题，计10分）

Mr. Guo is a teacher from Xi’an. He asked his students to hand in their homework through a QR code(二维码). “We spent an hour or two in class learning how to generate(使产生) the codes, and in the end everything gets easier.” Said Guo, “When students finish the homework, they keep it on WeChat. Then, each student makes his own QR code and gives it to me. So I can check their work anywhere using my computer or telephone.”

The QR codes can be sent to Mr. Guo by email, QQ and WeChat. When Guo scans(扫描) his students’ QR codes, their homework appears on his phone. He finds that their homework becomes more creative, with many pictures, music and even videos.

Guo’s students like the new way and think it is interesting. “We are living in the information age. Many students like to work with computers, which makes learning more fun.” Said Tingting, a student of Guo’s.

“The paper is not easy to keep, but the code is easy to keep and share.” Guo said, “It is worth trying to use new technology in education. E ducation itself is a kind of creation. I don’t want my students to fall behind the times.”

However, some parents are worried. They are afraid that their children will spend too much time on computers and less time communicating with teachers. But in fact, it’s unnecessary. Students still need to look up information in books and write it down when they do their homework. They only use the codes when they hand in their work, which doesn’t take them too much time. Also for teachers, it allows them to check th e students’ work at any time. And it’s also an easy way to share homework with other students.

31.According to the passage, Guo’s students can keep their homework on WeChat, can’t they?

32.How can the QR codes be sent to Mr. Guo?

33.What is one of the advantages of the new way of handing in homework?

34.What do some parents worry about?

35.What do you think of the new way of handing in homework?
