For many young people, not knowing what is inside the box until they open it adds more surprise and fun to their buying experience. More and more companies start selling their goods in blind boxes, such as stationery, books and even flights. However, some of them have really gone too far.On May 3, 160 little dogs and cats were found inside a van （厢式货车）at a delivery station （快递站点）in Chengdu. Like other goods, they were packed in boxes to be sent to different places through the post.According to the Chengdu Aizhijia Animal Rescue Center, when volunteers found those animals, four of them were dead and many were sick. All of them were under three months old.In fact, the sale of blind box pets is nothing new. On Taobao and Pinduoduo, some live animals were being sold for prices as low as 9.9 yuan. Lots of animals on sale died on their way to their buyers or within weeks after arriving. As a rule set by those pet shops, buyers cannot return whatever they get because that is how blind boxes work. So if the buyer gets a dead cat in the post, that's bad luck!The delivery company, ZTO （中通快递）,has said sorry on Weibo for collecting live animals from sellers fbr delivery, yet public anger is not cooling down. People are calling fbr an end to the crazy sale of blind box pets. State media （媒体）also asks buyers and sellers of such blind boxes to have “more kindness and more respect （尊重）for life, 19.

To ask the delivery companies not tobreak the law.Many people in Venice knew who Antonio Rossi was. Like his father, Antonio was a very talented glassblower. He made many beautiful glass products.Antonio's daughter Clara liked her father's workshop. She loved to look at all of the beautiful and colorful products he created. One day, she walked into the workshop and her father was there, standing beside two glass vases （花瓶）.“Do you like them, Clara? he asked proudly. "1 have made them for Mr. Lombardi, the great writer here in Venice.”"They're beautiful, Fathei*.” Clara said.“I must go and get Mr. Lombardi,said her fhthc匚 Then, he left the workshop.Clara looked at the vases. Beside them was a note. Clara read the note and smiled. As she turned, she bumped the vases.“No!" She tried to catch them, but it was too late. They fell to the ground and broke into many pieces. Only the round bases （底部）at the bottom were not broken, 4*What will I tell Father?It was then that she saw Mr. Lombardi's note as she looked through the glass. The letters were .BIG!Clara picked up the other base and looked through it. It worked, too! The words looked bigger!Clara thought quickly. She found a wire （金属丝）and carefully wrapped （缠绕）itaround the two glass pieces a pair of glasses was made in such a way.As Clara finished, Mr. Lombardi and her father walked in.“Now let me show you the "Clara's father stopped, and stared at the broken vases on the floor, 4tOh, Clara!“Im so sorry, Father,44 Clara said in a low voice.Mr. Lombardi looked at the two pieces of glass in a wire frame （框架）in Clara's hand. “What do you have there? he asked.“I made it from the broken piece,“ said Clara.

Disappointed.）ably mean?Kicked something away.Knocked to make a sound.How to Make EyeglassesA Girl Who Never Gave Upi machine in his laboratory. The chemicald know that because we have our noses toidentify （识另ij） it, Dr, Lewis, however, wonders if his machine can smell the chemical, too.The machine is actually an electronic nose.You might wonder why anyone would want to build an electronic nose. After all, if you want to smell something, you can just breathe in through your own nose. For example, it's common fbr someone to smell a bottle of milk to check if it has gone bad. But imagine if a person had to smell the thousands of bottles of milk that farms produce every day-all that milk would go bad long befbre the testing was done! The food industry uses electronic noses every day to test the foods fbr freshness.There are millions of different smells in the world. How can our nose tell the difference between all these smells? Scientists know there are cells （细胞）in our noses that act as smell detectors （探测器）.They think that a certain pattern of cells responds （回应）to every smell. Our nose creates a fingerprint fbr each smell using this pattern. Our brain understands all the odor （气味）fingerprints, Dr. Lewis's electronic nose is modeled after the human nose to detect odor fingerprints.The biggest difference, however, between human noses and the electronic noses that have been built so far is the brain. We need our brains to explain each smell we meet. But the electronic nose can only identify the chemical makeup of a smell while our brain can decide whether something your nose smells is good or bad. "R doesn't know which smells it likes and which is terrible because it can't think," explains Dr. Lewis.Dr. Lewis is working on how to make the electronic nose get smarter. Maybe someday fridges with electronic noses will tell you when food has gone bad, or your locker room will use them to remind you to wash your sports clothes. There are many possible uses for a machine to take the place of the human nose. Every day scientists are getting closer to building a more perfect electronic nose.27. What can we infbr （推断）from the underlined sentence “all that milk would go bad long before the testing was done“ in Paragraph 2?A. It's necessary to invent an electronic nose.B. The test machine usually makes the milk go badC. We don't need to test the smell of the milk every day.D. It takes electronic noses a long time to test the smell.28. What can we know about Dr. Lewis's electronic nose?A. It must work together with human noses.B. It is modeled after other electronic noses.C. Its working process is similar to human nosesD. It cannot identify the rotten food at all.29. What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 4 refer to （指代）？A. The brain.B. The smell. C. The human nose. D. The electronicnose.30. Which of the following statement might the writer agree with?A. Electronic noses will help us wash clothes.B. Electronic noses will disappear sooner or later.C. Electronic noses will be widely used in our daily life.D. Electronic noses will completely take the place of human noses to identify the smell. 三、阅读匹配阅读下面关于“理性购物”的短文，针对文中的五个问题清单，从下面AE的五个 例子或解释中找出相应的选项，将它们一一对应。Money makes the world go around, yet the best things in life are free.
