The “laugh out loud” face is officially the world’s most popular emoji, according to 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.
Adobe’s 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 don’t. 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.

In June, 2021, a group of students from eight high schools in Winnipeg, the capital of Canada’s Manitoba province, will begin test-launching (试发射) a satellite the size of a Rubik’s cube.
The one-kilogram Win-Cube satellite, named for its home city and its shape, will be put into low orbit. Once in space, it can perform for a few months or up to several years, communicating information that could help find the signs of earthquakes.
There are 80 similar satellite projects worldwide, but this is the first high-school based program of its kind in Canada. 30 Manitoba high school students are having a hand in designing and building the satellite, in cooperation with aerospace (航空航天的) experts and 10 students from the University of Manitoba, and with support from two other organizations.
The Win-Cube project is not something that goes on a piece of paper; it is real-world engineering, allowing high school students to have an opportunity to learn more about the exciting world of engineering through their participation in this challenging program. It is also taken as a wonderful example of the unique partnerships within Manitoba. Designing, building and launching a satellite with high-school participation will bring this world-class educational project into reality and Manitoba closer to space
“These Manitoba high school students deserve congratulations for their enthusiasm, innovation (创新), and a strong love for discovery,” said Education, Citizenship and Youth Minister Peter Bjomson. “We want to make science more relevant, interesting and attractive to high school students by showing them how classroom studies can relate to practical experience in the workplace or, in this case, in space,” Bjomson added.
The Win-Cube program is mainly aimed at inspiring a strong desire for discovery on the part of the students. It also shows Manitoba’s devotion to research and innovation and the development of a skilled workforce—all important drivers of knowledge-based economic growth.
4. What can we learn from Mr. Bjomson? .
A. Those Manitoba high school students are worth praising.
B. The study of space can be practically made in classrooms.
C. Manitoba high schools are famous for the study of space.
D. Scientific research is too far away from high school students.
5. What is the primary purpose of the project ? .
A. To find the early signs of earthquakes.
B. To relate studies to practical.
C. To help high school students study real-world engineering.

Japan's prime minister encouraged the decision to ban viewers, even family members, by issuing a state of emergency order in Tokyo earlier this month in response to rising COVID-19 case numbers.
From the perspective of sports psychologists, an Olympics without fans is a real-life science experiment that is helping researchers and clinicians to comb through the true impact of a crowd of fans on its players—and on viewers at home. The strange circumstances under which the games are held may place unexpected pressure on some athletes. On Tuesday, superstar gymnast Simone Biles dropped out of the women's team event, telling teammates and reporters she wasn't in the right “headspace” to compete. “It's been really stressful this Olympic Games. There are a lot of different variables going into it,” Biles told the Washington Post.
The 2020 Summer Olympics bears similarities and differences to other major sporting events without viewers. The English Premier League supplemented (增加) game broadcasts with crowd noise from the soccer video game FIFA 20, mixed with game audio in real time. A Taiwanese baseball team and German soccer team began populating stands with cardboard cutouts of fans, and the trend caught on internationally.
Jamey Houle, the lead sports psychologist for Ohio State University Athletics and a former Al-American gymnast, says competitive athletes are trained in visualization— imagining performing a certain action or motion, such as doing a roundoff back handspring in gymnastics. Without moving a muscle, players using visualization can solidify neural (神经的) connections and activate their motor cortex (皮层). To visualize most effectively, Houle says, athletes working with sports psychologists will try to simulate as closely as possible the conditions of actual gameplay. Empty stadiums may thus have a measurable impact on players' performance. This phenomenon is
grounded in a psychological concept called “social facilitation”, referring to a change in a person's performance that occurs when others are around compared to when a person is alone.
8. What caused Biles to drop out of the women's team event?
A. The poor physical condition.
B. The absence of the audience.
C. The fiercely competitive event.
D. The influence of crowds of fans.
9. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A. The Taiwanese baseball team is a success.
B. The tendency mentioned is popular among some sporting events.
C. The 2020 Summer Olympics is stricter in preventing the pandemic.
D. The crowd noise plays a leading role in the English Premier League.
10. How does Houle explain the impact of empty stadiums on players' performance?
A. By doing a roundoff back handspring.
B. By simulating the conditions of actual gameplay.
C. By using the concept called social facilitation.
D. By changing the viewers of a player.
11. What message does the author mainly convey in the text?
A. Athletes should be trained in visualization.
B. Audience should be admitted to the Olympics.
C. Social facilitation is helpful to sporting events.
D. Viewers present may influence players' performance.
D
Kenyan mother Beth Mwende heard her sleeping child cry out, but did not worry after the three-year-old quickly quietened down. The next morning, however, she found her daughter, Mercy, nearly unconscious with two bite marks in the neck. “I didn’t know that it was a snake,” Mwende said.
Although snakebites are common in her hometown, antivenom medication is difficult to get. Mwende lives about 160 kilometers east of Nairobi, Kenya’s capital. So she took her daughter to a traditional healer. He placed stones over the bites. Mercy died within hours. She was one of about 700 Kenyans killed by snakebites each year, notes a report in the scientific publicationToxicon.
The Kenya Snakebite Research and Intervention Center (KSRIC) is working to change that. The KSRIC hopes to have East Africa’s first antivenom medication on the market within five years. It estimates the cost will be about 30 percent of an imported product, which often sells for about US $ 30.
More than 70, 000 people are bitten in East Africa each year. Climate change and deforestation are worsening the problem as snakes get pushed out of natural surroundings into populated areas.
Nearly 100 snakes live at the research center in a forest near Nairobi. Researchers take venom from snakes and study it before injecting small amounts into other animals, such as sheep. The animals then create antibodies that can be made into antivenom.
“Up to now, no one has made any kind of antivenom in Kenya,’’ said Geoffrey Maranga Kepha, a senior snake handler.
Two effective antivenoms are available in Kenya, from India and Mexico, the center says.
The center is teaching communities that using antivenom immediately after receiving a snakebite can save lives, said head researcher George Adinoh.
“After seeing how people died in Kenya from snakebites I decided to devote my life to coming up with a rescue measure that will help or prevent people from dying from snakebites,” snake handler Kepha added.
12. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?
A. By telling a story.
B. By listing figures.
C. By referririg to documents.
D. By making a comparison.
13. Why did Mwende take her daughter to a traditional healer?
A. She couldn’t afford any modern treatment.
B. She lived where antivenom medication is not available.
C. The traditional way is very effective to treat snakebites.
D. She believed a traditional healer could cure her daughter.
14. What is causing more snakebites to happen in East Africa?
A. Lack of antivenom medication.
B. Environmental damage and climate change.
C. People’s low awareness of the danger of snakes.
D. People’s pursuit of traditional cures for snakebites.
15. What do we know about antivenom in Kenya from the text?
A. Itis taken from antibodies of sheep.
B. There is only one effective antivenom available.
C. KSRIC is trying to develop a local antivenom now.
D. People refuse to use antivenom after being bitten by snakes.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项
Survival in the Wild
Plants and animals have the hard job of surviving in a very wild world. How do they do it?___16___Camouflage(保护色) is one way animals use to survive. For some animals, this means that their fur, scales, or skin are a similar color1 to the land around them. Deer, for example, have brown fur that match(和……相匹配)the trees, so it’s harder for hunters to see them. This saves them from becoming food to a larger animal.___17___Many people think of chameleons when they think of this type of camouflage, but rabbits are a great example as well. Some rabbits’ fur will change color1 s depending on the season. Their fur might be brown in spring, summer, and autumn to match the trees, but the brown fur will fall out and white fur will grow in the winter to match the snow.___18___
Some insects, instead of matching their environment, look like something else that will stop animals from eating them. A walking stick looks just like a stick so that hunters will pass it by without noticing it.
Some moths and butterflies have designs on their wings that make them look like snakes or owls, to frighten away their hunters.
___19___They want to be easily noticed to survive! Many plants grow flowers with color1 ful petals(花瓣) to attract bees. The bees help pollinate the flowers so that they can produce new flowers.
Instead of hiding, some plants and animals develop structures to hurt anything that tries to hurt them. Some plants develop thorns(刺)so that animals will not eatthem.___20___Hedgehogs even have spikes(尖刺), called quills or spines, covering their backs so animals won’t want to eat them!
There are many ways plants and animals have adapted to survive in the wild. Do you know of any other ways?
A. Some animals have extremely sharp teeth so they can fight off other animals.
B. Some animals can actually change color1 s to match their environment.
C. As a result, the rabbit has different color1 s in different seasons.
D. There are many ways plants and animals have used in order to survive.
E. This way the rabbit is safer from hunters year-round.
F. For some plants, however, they don’t want to match their environment.
G. But some plants survive in a quite different way.

We tiptoed(踮脚走) into Mama’s room and asked her if we could put Mercurochrome on Ronnie’s scratch.___27___on her back, Mama had fallen into a deep sleep and made no answer.
We stole into the bathroom, took the Mercurochrome and___28___Ronnie’s knee. Undoubtedly, he immediately began to feel better.___29___, we tiptoed into Mama’s room to show her that we had taken care of our scratches without___30___her. But she was in sound sleep.

I'm worried that you've been addicted to share pictures in WeChat circle recently. You even share all sort of photos in your daily life. Of course, WeChat makes better to understand each other and makes our life more color1 ful, which is very convenient for us to communicate with. However, there exist some potential trouble if we overshare. One serious problem is leaking privacy, that may cause a lot of trouble. Besides, oversharing can make others uncomfortably, for they think you are showing off.
Thus, neither should we post our personal information, or should we blindly add strangers to a list of friends. It's much wise to set aside some time to accompany parents or do something more meaningful, such as reading books or taking exercise.
