My best friend Jenny and I got to the mall for shopping. She held up a white sweater and matching skirt.“Do you like this?” she asked.

“It’s great,’’I said. Jenny nodded and continued looking while I moved about. touching the beautiful clothes. “I’ll try this on.” Jenny walked towards the dressing room. After a while, she came out in the outfit(一套衣服). She looked beautiful.

I sighed. Part of me wanted to say how good she looked. but another part stopped the words coming out. Jenny was in such good shape that she’d look good in the outfit. Sometimes. I regretted choosing a best friend who was so pretty. God, why can’t I be the one with the rich parents and the great look? More and more, I was envious(妒忌的)of her.

“Well, Teresa, what do you think?” Jenny asked more than once. “Do you like it?’’

The outfit looked great on her, but I lied, “Not really. I think you need something with more colors.’’

“You think so?" Jenny said doubtfully.

“Just believe me. We’ll find something better, "I told her, pushing her back into the dressing room. “You just can’t buy the first thing you see.” I did my best to get Jenny out of the store, away from that outfit. As we left, Jenny gave the sweater one last look.

Just down the mall, we passed a yogurt place. ‘‘My treat, ’’Jenny said, pulling out her wallet.

I could never say no to chocolate, so we got some and sat down at a table. As Jenny talked without stopping about a million things, I thought about my feelings toward her. Those feelings weren’t kind.

Sitting there, Jenny was attractive(吸引人的)not just because of her good luck, but more because of her kindness. Treating me to chocolate was far from her only show of generosity. She also let me drive her car and borrow her clothes.

Finishing our chocolate, we headed for the next clothing store. ‘‘Look at that red sweater.’’ Jenny said as we passed the window. ‘‘It would be perfect for you. Soon maybe you’ll have enough by saving your babysitting money to buy something like that.”

A few minutes earlier, all I had heard was about saving my babysitting money. I had hated the fact that Jenny could ask her parents for anything, and they’d buy it for her. This time, though. I heard more. I heard the voice of someone who loved and cared me for who I was. I needed to express the same to her.

1.Teresa felt _________ when Jenny came out of the dressing room in the new outfit.

A. envious B. excited C. lonely D. comfortable

2.Teresa and Jenny __________ after they left the first clothing store.

A. headed for the next clothing store B. talked about the outfit Jenny wanted

A. Jenny lent me some money. B. Jenny asked for more chocolate.

World’s history in one place

Is it possible to put millions of years of t he world’s history into one building? The British Museum seems to think so. "

A history of the World in 100 Objects", an exhibition about rare and ancient objects from the world, has made it a success.

The British Museum says it owns at least 8 million historical objects. But why choose these 100 objects to tel stories of our world's history?

It all started with a challenge（挑戰(zhàn)）.

Neil MacGregor, who was once director of the British Museum, was asked by BBC to choose 100 objects from the museum's huge collection. The objects had to include things from the beginning of human history about 2 million years ago to the present day.

MacGregor accepted, and took four years to choose each object himself.

In 2010, MacGregor appeared on BBC radio, giving a detailed（詳細的）explanation of each object. The show was a big hit and all these 100 objects were shown in the British Museum. A book with photos of each object soon followed.

"The objects had to cover the whole world, from a cooking pot to a golden galleon, from a Stone Age tool to a credit card." MacGregor wrote.

The collection includes many important objects from China. There is a banknote from the Ming Dynasty, showing China as the first country to use paper money.

But it’s not just ancient things that are shown. Among them are some modern things like a solar-powered lamp and even a throne made of weapons created by an African artist.

“Of course, the collection could only be ‘a(chǎn)’ history of the world. But it is still a history that people in the present world need to know.” MacGregor wrote.

1. “A history of the World in 100 Objects” is a(n) ________.

A. TV programme about Africa B. challenge of scientific research

C. book about modern development D. exhibition of the world’s history

2. We can learn that the BBC programme by Neil MacGregor was _______.

A. successful B. expensive C. regular D. traditional

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The objects shown cover half of the world.

B. Neil MacGregor used to be director of BBC.

C. China was the first country to use paper money.

D. The British Museum owns 2 million historical objects.

Many people thought a computer wasn’t supposed to be able to beat a top master at the ancient Chinese game, Weiqi, for at least another 10 years. But AlphaGo, an artificially intelligent system(人工智能系統(tǒng) ) designed by Google, made it. It easily beat Lee Sedol last year, one of the best players in the world. It challenged the world’s top players to show how much progress it had made over the past few years.

In the late of May, 2017, AlphaGo appeared in China and played against 19-year-old Ke Jie in Wuzhen, China. He is No. 1 player now in the world. However, the result wasn’t out of people’s expectation. He lost the matches. Though Ke Jie tried his best and he once saw the victory just a step away, he lost his best chance when he became excited.

At the press conference(新聞發(fā)布會) after the match, Ke Jie was interviewed by the reporters. He said he had realized how powerful AlphaGo was, and it was getting perfect. When a Chinese reporter asked him in English, the reporter spoke so fast that the interpreter(口譯員) couldn’t catch him. Ke Jie got kind of angry and told him that it was unnecessary for two Chinese to speak English. The reporter apologized to him and offered to ask him for a coffee.

The cat and mouse game is over, but the challenge between man and robots will still go on.
