Visiting Heilongjiang Provincial Museum.(2)Have you ever asked yourself why people often have trouble learning English? I hadn't, until one day my five-year-old son asked me whether there was ham in a hamburger. There isn't. This made me realize that there is no egg in eggplant either. Neither is there pine nor apple in pineapple. This got me thinking how English can be a crazy language to learn.For example, in our free time we can sculpt a sculpture(雕塑) and paint a painting, but we take a photo. And when we are traveling we say that we are in the car or the taxi, but on the train or bus! While we're doing all this traveling, we can get seasick at sea, airsick in the air and carsick in a car, but we don't get homesick when we get home. And speaking of home, why aren't homework and housework the same thing?If "hard" is the opposite of "soft", why are "hardly" and "softly" not an opposing pair? If harmless actions are the opposite of harmful actions, why are shameless and shameful behaviors the same?When we look out of the window and see rain or snow, we can say "it's raining" or "it's snowing". But when we see sunshine, we cannot say "it's sunshining".Even the smallest words can confuse(混淆) you. When you see the capitalized "WHO" in a medical report, do you read it as the "who" in "Who's that?" What about "IT" and "US"?You also have to wonder at the unique madness of a language in which a house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out, and in which an alarm is only heard once it goes off.English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race. That is why when the stars are out, they are visible(看得见的), but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And that is why when I wind up my watch, it starts, but when I wind up this passage, it ends.4. What is the author's purpose in writing the text?A. To tell us English is a crazy language to learn.B. To require us to enrich English vocabulary.C. To persuade us to learn English well enough.D. To suggest better ways to command English.5.

Which of the following pair is an opposing one?A. burn up / burn downB. fill in / fill outC. visible / invisibleD. hardly / softly7. What does the invention of languages reflect?A. The fast pace of our life.B. Humans' identity.C. The command of language.D. Humans' creativity.（3）Having a light electric bike that can be folded(折叠) in to fit your backpack would be very practical, dont you agree? Well, it seems Smacircle is the answer. Inventors have created an electric bike called Smacircle which is not only as light as two newborn babies but folds up and fits in a backpack. The ebike can reach speeds of 20km/h and is controlled with a smartphone app.The ebike folds up into a backpack in less than ten seconds, by which time its no taller than 49cm.

The first models have been made and tested, and its makers are seeking further investment with an aim to bring it to the mainstream market.

They can avoid crowded public transport, simply go through heavy traffic, perfect to commute in the city when their destination is too far to walk yet too close to drive. CEO Gavin Yang, from Shenzhen in China, said, Smacircle is a special creative design invented to fill in the gap in short commute personal transportation. Their team has spent countless hours on research and development, and are determined to bring the people the best possible solution for short commutes, he said.
