researchers from Adobe(ADBE)who surveyed 7,000 users across the United States,the United Kingdom,Germany,France,Japan,Australia,and South Korea.The“thumbs up”emoji came in second,followed by the“red heart”emoji.The flirtatious“wink and kiss”and“sad face with a tear”emojis respectively rounded out the top five.The software maker on Thursday released the findings from its 2021 Global Emoji Trend Report ahead of World Emoji Day on Saturday.Adobes latest Emoji Trend report also examined the three most misunderstood emojis in the world.The“eggplant”symbol edged out the“peach”and the“clown”emojis respectively as the most confusing for users.The vast majority of emoji users(90%)believe the modern day hieroglyphs make it easier for them to express themselves.Eighty nine percent of respondents said emojis simplify communicating across language barriers.And 67%said they think people who use emojis are friendlier,funnier and cooler than those who dont.A slight majority of respondents said they are more comfortable expressing emotions through emojis than talking on the phone or in person.More than half of global emoji users(55%)said using emojis in communications has positively impacted their mental health.Seventy six percent of those surveyed said emojis are an important communication tool for creating unity,respect and understanding.And 88%said they feel more empathetic toward people who use emojis.1.What are the three most popular emojis according to the passage?A.clown thumbs up laugh out loud B.laugh out loud thumbs up wink and kiss C.laugh out loud thumbs up red heart

people surveyed to emojis?A.Favorable.B.Passive.C.Indifferent.D.Doubtful.B Did you know that horses talk?Well,they do,and you can lean to understand“horse talk”if you pay close attention to the horses you see.When horses live in the wild,other animals try to eat them,so a lot of horse talk is about staying alive.Even now,when most horses live on farms,they watch for danger.For this reason,never walk behind a horse.If you surprise it,the horse might mistake you for a mountain lion or wolf and give a dangerous kick.By watching the ears of a horse,you can get clues to what its hearing.A horse can tum each ear in a different direction.For a wild horse,this trick is important for survival.The horse can hear something sneaking up behind it while also checking out a threatening noise in front.When a horse lets its ears down,its feeling safe and relaxed.If horses becomeisolated,they neigh,or“whinny,”calling for company.Theyre saying,“Where are you?Im over here!”If a horse snorts(哼)while holding its head high and staring at something,its saying,“That looks dangerous.Get ready to run!”When two horses meet,they put their noses together and smell each others breath.Its their way of asking,“Are you a friend?”Horses nicker,too.Nickering is a quiet sort of sound.This friendly noise means theyre feeling secure and saying,“Clad to see you.”In the wild,horses live in herds,with all members watching for danger.In a herd,only one horse is the leader,the“boss hoss”.The“boss hoss”is usually an older female.She watches for threats and teaches younger horses how to behave.However,others may want her job.When that happens,she pins her ears back against her head and may even bite or kick to get challengers to back off.Shes using body language to say,“Hey,Im in charge here!”All horses know that the one who makes others move is the leader.Horses relate to people that way,too.Horses have a language of their own.Now you know a bit of what they might be saying.4.What is the general idea of this passage?A.Horses can talk with their owners.B.You can know a bit of horses language.C.Horses can“talk”in their own way.D.Other animals can also learn language.5.What does the underlined word“isolated”in Paragraph 3 mean?A.Lonely.B.Glad.C.Sad.D.Frightened.6.What will a horse do when he wants to know whether another horse is a friend?A.He will let his ears down.B.He and another horse will put their noses together and smell each others breath.C They both will hold their heads high and stare at something.D.He will give another horse a dangerous kick.7.How will the“boss hoss”deal with her challengers?A.By warning or fighting.B.By watching for threats.C.By teaching younger horses how to behave.D.By relating to people.C A Chinese space mining

2045.Su added that NEO-01 will serve as a prototype(雏形)of future space mining robots,which can use rich mineral resources on asteroids to support the development of the space industry.The Xinhua news agency reported that China was increasing efforts to land a spacecraft on a near-Earth asteroid to collectmaterials.China is also speeding up a plan to build a defense system against near-Earth
