It was the first day of school, and he was ready to start learning. The teacher let him in and gave him a desk. The new student sat down with the rest of the first graders —six-and seven-year-old boys and girls. However, Kimani Maruge was not an ordinary first grader. He was 84 years old, the world’s oldest first grader.LilyMary Tom MikeKimani Maruge was born in Kenya in 1920. At that time, primary education in Kenya was not free, and Marug’s family didn’t have enough money to pay for school. When Maruge grew up, he worked hard as a farmer. In 2003, the Kenyan government began offering free primary education to everyone, and Maruge wanted an education, too. However, it wasn’t always easy for Maruge to attend school. Many of the first graders’ parents didn’t want an old man in their children’s class. School officials said that a primary education was only for children. But the school principal, Jane believed Maruge was right. With her help, he was able to stay in school.Maruge was a motivated and successful student. In fact, he was one of the top five students in his first grade class. In second grade, Maruge became the school’s student leader. He went as far as seventh gra de, the final year of primary school. Over the years, Maruge studied Swahili, English, and math. He wanted to use his education to read the Bible and to study veterinary medicine.Maruge died in 2009, at age 89. However, his story lives on. The 2010 movie The First Grader showed Maruge’s amazing fight to get an education. Many older Kenyans decided to start school after seeing The First Grader. One of those people was 19-year-old Thoma Litei. Litei said, “I knew it was not too late. I wanted to read, and to know more language, so I came to school to learn. That is why it is important for his story to be known.24. On January 12, 2004, Maruge was__________.A. 7 years oldB. 19 years oldC. 84 years oldD. 89 years old25. Before 2003, primary education in Kenya __________.A. was not freeB. was for old peopleC. helped the poor peopleD. got money from the government26. It’s important for Maruge’s story to be known because it __________.A. made many older Kenyans decide to learnB. helped the Kenyans get a good educationC. made the government build more schoolsD. helped the Kenyans earn more moneyCYou wake up in the morning. A soft light turns on in your room. You go into the bathroom and the shower starts. After your shower, you go into the kitchen. Your favorite breakfast is already cooked, and it’s on the table, ready to eat. Now it’s time to go to work. It’s rainy. You live alone, but you find that your umbrella is already by the door.How is all this possible? Welcome to your future life!Technology will allow homes in the future to be “smart.”Householdmachines will communicate with each other—and with you. Your stove will tell you when your food is cooked and ready to eat. Refrigerators will suggest recipes (食谱)based on food items you already have.The technology is possible because of tiny information-storing devices called RFID chips. Future RFID chips will store information about all the things in your cupboards. For example, they will record the date that you bought each thing. Other devices will “read” this information using radio waves. When you need more food, your cupboards will tell you to buy it.Are you tired of the color of your walls? In a smart home, you won’t have to repaint them. The walls will actually be digital screens, like TV screens. The technology is called OLED, and it’s here already. OLED walls will become clear, like windows or display colors and patterns.A computer network will link these walls with everything else in your house. Called “ambient intelligence,”(环境智能) this computer “brain”will control your whole house. It will suit your preferences. Your house will learn about your likes and dislikes. It will then use that knowledge to control the environment. For example, it will set the heat in the house to your favorite temperature. It will also turn on the radio in the morning because you like to listen to the news then.But how about your cooked breakfast and the umbrella you found by the door? For those, you can thank your robot helper. Futurologists predict that many homes will have robots in the future. Robots already do many things. But scientists today are starting to build friendlier, more intelligent robots—ones that people will feel more comfortable having around in the house.How soon will this smart home be a reality? There’s a good chance it will be a part of your life in 25 or 30 years, perhaps sooner.27. You should thank __________ for the umbrella you found by the door.A. the smart cupboardB. the radio wavesC. the household machinesD. the robot helper28. According to the passage, the writer believes that in the future __________.A. painters won’t have to paint the wallsB. robots will be more intelligent than peopleC. ambient intelligence will know your interests wellD. your stove will seldom communicate with you29. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. How will we live?B. How will OLED work?C. What will smart house be like?D. How soon will smart home be a reality?DRunning in Cold Weather Improves Performance Cold weather during winter months may keep many people from leaving home and running in the open air. However, a new study shows that the drop in temperature is a good reason to run. In fact, researchers say, running in cold weather help s improve one’s performance.Many people say running in the winter can be difficult. Two reasons are the low temperatures and bitter winds. Yet many runners might find it easier than running in hot weather. That could be because lower temperatures reduce stress on the body. When you run in cold weather, your body loses less water than in warmer conditions. The body needs less water on a cold day than in warm weather. This information comes from sports scientists at St. Mary’s University in London.John Bre wer is a professor of applied sport science at St. Mary’s. For this study, he and other researchers put a group of people into a room they called an “environmental chamber”. The researchers then recreated summer and winter weather conditions in the room. The test subjects were asked to run 10,000 meters under both conditions. Brewer says he and his team recorded biological measurements of the runners. “We’ve got a group of subjects into the environmental chamber, we’ve changed the conditions to recreate the summer or winter and we’ve got them to run a 10k m under both of those conditions and taken various measurements(测量)on each runner while they’ve been completing their 10km.”They found that the runners lost water by around 30.38% more in those hotter conditions. Besides, Brewer says every movement runners make produces heat. He explains that one way in which we lose heat is by sweating(出汗). He says the body also loses heat by transporting the blood to the surface of the skin. “That heat builds up in the bod y and can be really damaging unless you can lose that heat. And it’s much harder to lose heat when the environment is warm as well.” And they found how they felt their perception of heat—was around a third lower when they were running in cold conditions. The body does not have to work as hard to pump blood to the skin’s surface.Several websites note that the most important thing forpeople who run in cold conditions is to wear the right clothing.Keeping as dry as possible is the most important whenexerc ising in low temperatures. So, if you are a runner, don’tlet winter weather keep you indoors. Simply get ready for thelow temperatures and start running.30. According to the passage, John Brewer probably agreesthat __________.A. people should run 10,000 meters in winterB. running in winter is good for your heartC. people who run in winter like to wear thick clothingD. running in cold conditions is better than in warm31. The underlined word “subjects” in Paragraph 3 probably means _______.A. students that are being discussedB. classes that you study at schoolC. people that are being testedD. runners that the artists paint32. What can we infer from the passage?A. Running can help us lose heat.B. Running in cold weather is beneficial to our body.C. The heat can damage our body.D. The body does not have to work to pump blood.33. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?A. To introduce a research on running by Brewer.B. To explain why running in winter is difficult for people.C. To encourage people to run outside during winter months.D. To advertise the new websites on running he created.四、阅读短文，根据其内容回答问题。
