APrana was a beautiful dog, whose name means “breath of life”. Although he died several years ago, I can still remember the days we spent together and what he has taught me about love.I have two apple trees in the garden. Prana loved apples. When he went outside, he'd catch an apple and take it into the house to eat later. The apples had been on the ground and were often dirty so I wasn't always happy that Prana had brought them into the house.It was an autumn day in America, but it was very cold. A big snow fell and we had not done anything for its coming. On that special day, Prana went outside and I watched him through the window. I noticed that he was madly digging (挖) holes and bringing the apples to the ground so they could be seen above the snow. I did not know why he was doing this. He seemed to want to do something special.When I called him back? he had his usual one apple in his mouth. About five minutes later, I looked outside. The garden was completely covered with birds.

My advice is that it mainly depends on what they like and how much you can pay. All your friends are different in some ways, so you should know each of them very well.If you think your friend loves something expensive and always wants to be a center of attraction（吸引）, then try to give him or her an expensive gift like a cool T-shirt or a beautiful handbag. Or you can also plan a surprise party for them with more frien ds in a good place. Of course, it doesn’t mean that they will get angry if you give them a simple gift. They prefer to receive gifts which are thoughtful. On theother hand, some friends never expect to get an expensive gift. They will love anything that makes them feel special.So, a rose, a card or a message may be the best gift for them. It’s just that they would be happier to get the gifts above.Even you can take them to the beach, talk to them for hours about how lucky you are to have him or her as your friend.Be sure we give gifts or best wishes to each other to make our friendship stronger. And then we will have every happy moment with each other.（）23. The Chinese meaning of the word “thoughtful” in this passage is ______.A. 时尚的B. 用心的C. 昂贵的D. 便宜的（）24. Which of the gifts isn’t talked about in the passage?A. a cardB. a cool T-shirtC. a beautiful bookD. a surprise party （）25. Which is TRUE according to the passage?A. Your friends make you puzzled.B. We can always have happy time with our friends.C. Gift giving only depends on your friends’ likes.D. A simple gift won’t make your friend angry.（）26. If we want to have a stronger friendship, we are sure to______.A. give gifts or best wishes to each otherB. buy some expensive giftsC. hold surprise parties for themD. talk to them for many hoursDThanks to sofware like Apple's Siri, it's easier than ever t0 do something on our phone or computer. All we have to do is talk, and our favorite song stars playing a few seconds later.But in the near future, asking our phone to play a song by using our voice will seem as old-fashioned as using CDS. That's because US company Microsoft recently applied for a "brain control interfice (BCI) It means that we may be able to control our phone and computer with our thoughts. BCI tehnology works by changing brain. signals into computer commands(指令)This technology isn't brand new, however, Last year, for example, it was reported that scientists were able to help a disabled man from the US, 53-year-old Bill Kochevar, to move again. It's convenient for him to use BCI technology which makes his muscles (肌肉) move. After a few weeks of getting used to it, he was able to use his thoughts to "tell" the BCI to move his muscles, meaning he was able to have meals by himself for the first time in years.Not only can BCI iechnology help disabled people, it will also improve the daily lives of other people too. For example, Facebook reported last year that it was working on BCI technology to help people type by using their brain. By 2019, the company hopes to have created a system that will allow people to type up to 100 words each minute just by thinking about them. In turn, this could be used to offer live translation, like from English to Chinese.However, many people are worried that technology which can read our thoughts will let out private information, especially if social media (媒体) companies are involved. But Facebook researcher Regina Dugan said at a meeting 1ast year that thecompany has no interest in reading people's random thoughts."That might be more than any of us care to know. And it's not something any of us should have a right to know," she said.（）27. What can BCI technology do?A. It allows our thoughts to control phones.B. It offers a live translation service for people.C. It converts our voice into computer commands.D. It controls oun brain signals with a computer.（）28.

Medical workers.C. Social media users.D.Shop assistants. （）30. What’s the best tile of this passage?A. Brain Control skillsB. Using thought powerC. Changing brain signalsD.
