     A lover of classical music from a young age，Mr.Fu began taking piano lessons when he was 7.He made his first stage appearance in 1952.The concert caught the attention of officials in Beijing，who selected him to compete and tour in Eastern Europe.Mr.Fu soon moved to Poland，where he studied at the Warsaw Conservatory （音乐学校） on a scholarship.To prepare for the fifth Chopin Competition in Warsaw in 1955，he practiced so hard that he hurt his fingers and was nearly cut from the first round of the competition.
     Mr.Fu was one of the first Chinese pianists to achieve global fame when he took third place in the International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw in 1955.He also won a special prize for his performance of Chopin's mazurkas.Almost overnight，he became a national hero.To China，Mr.Fu's recognition in a well-known international competition was evidence that the country could stand on its own artistically in the West.Chinese reporters came to interview Mr.Fu，while many others went to his father，Fu Lei，for advice on child-raising.

     "My father had a saying that 'First you must be a person，then an artist，and then a musician，and only then can you be a pianist，'" Mr.Fu Cong once recalled in an interview. "Even now，I believe in this order-that it should be this way and that I am this way."

• 3．The dangers of sitting all day are obvious.Researchers have shown that remaining sitting for extended periods of time （like at your 9-to-5 desk job） can do harm to your health.While exercise is a big part of reducing the harmful effects of sitting，it was unclear how many gym periods were needed to help—until now.
     A new study，published in The Lancet，shows the ideal formula for reducing the negative effects of a sedentary（久坐的） job.Instead of a fixed number of hours spent exercising，the ratio（比率） depends on how much you sit：People who work a typical eight-hour day should spend at least one hour each day moving.If you sit six hours a day，you should spend half an hour exercising.The research also indicates that the exercise doesn't have to be all once—or rigorous（严格的）.It can be spread throughout the day and be as simple as walking.
     The team behind the study analysed data from a pool of a million adults over the age of 45 in Western Europe，the United States，and Australia.Using previous data，the researchers examined data from 16 published studies and used it to determine how much exercise is required to compensate for sitting.Their recommended daily exercise goal is higher than previous advice but not necessarily less achievable，given it can be completed throughout the day.
     Fitting in an hour of exercise a day sounds especially discouraging if you have a desk job，but there are plenty of workouts you can complete before and after work.Even if it means taking a 10-minute walk during lunch，your body will thank you in the long run.
  
  （1）The underlined phrase "compensate for" can be best replaced by "

  ".
  A．make up for
  B．break away from
  C．give up
  D．take the place of
  （2）According to the new study，what is the good news for the people working long hours at desk？

  
  A．Workouts may reduce the harm of sitting for long.
  B．The harm of sitting for long has been proved.
  C．They don't have to exercise as long as suggested previously.
  D．The time spent on exercise is flexible.
  （3）What can be inferred from the passage？

  
  A．The best form of workouts is walking.
  B．The longer you exercise，the better.
  C．The new exercise goal is practical though higher.
  D．A desk job makes it impossible to exercise regularly.
  （4）The second paragraph is developed mainly

  .
  A．by example
  B．by process
  C．by comparison
  D．by contrast

• 4．Walmart will soon use 360 robot cleaners across a few hundred of its stores.Using maps input by human employees，the AI-powered cleaners will travel in the store with no difficulty，sweeping the floor-just as human employees used to do.
     Perhaps the most striking thing about these robot workers is how not-striking they are.Sci-fi movies suggest a future full of human-like robots who appear with their horrible qualities.Now the future is coming into view.jye.ai it looks like a giant lie.It's easy to imagine walking past an Auto-C on a shopping trip without even noticing its presence.
     AI has already started to become a part of our everyday life.In New Jersey this week，dozens of workers were hospitalized after a robot at an Amazon fulfillment centre accidentally broke a can and enveloped workers in an eye-and-lung-damaging gas.Days earlier in California，an auto-piloted Tesla drove a drunk，sleeping driver down a highway，which no doubt did some potential risk to the other drivers on the road.Highway patrol officers figured out on the spot how to stop the Al car.
     Of course，industrial accidents and drunk drivers existed as well before AI.Tools with the power to release the burden of physical labor-horses，steam machines，self-driving cars--also come with the power to injure people.And the presence of Al-powered machines that just steps away from us is，for now.jye.ai a rare thing for most people.
     But the nature of robots' coming into our daily life will make it harder to recognize-or object to-the bigger changes they bring later.Walmart insists that the robot cleaners give employees more time for customer service and other tasks.Critics point out that they could just as easily become an excuse to reduce staff and wages.
  
  （1）What is the difference between sci-fi movies and the reality？

  
  A．Now the human-like robots are hard to recognize.
  B．Now people don't go to see the sci-fi movies.
  C．Now the human-like robots can tell lies.
  D．Now it is easy to ignore the robots.
  （2）Why were some workers in hospital in New Jersey？

  
  A．Because they damaged the robot first.
  B．Because the robot caused an accident on purpose.
  C．Because the robot made a mistake by chance.
  D．Because the robot driving them on the highway had an accident.
  （3）What is the attitude of the author to AI？

  
  A．Supportive
  B．Objective.
  C．Doubtful.
  D．Indifferent.
  （4）What is the main idea of the passage？

  
  A．Artificial intelligence is bringing great effects to our daily life.
  B．Walmart will soon use 360 robot cleaners across its stores.
  C．We should say no to artificial intelligence.
  D．Artificial intelligence is dangerous to our life.
