ADo you use emojis to show your feelings? The SwiftKey,a company did research on the number of emojis used in the world.The result shows the top three most-used emojis are happy faces(44.8%),sad faces(14.33%)and hearts(12.5%).The company also found out people in different countries have their own favourite emojis.No one can beat.Americans when it comes to their love of pizza.Pizza is the most widely used emoji in the US,as well as the chicken emoji.It shows that compared with othercountries,America has interesting food habits.The French are as romantic (浪漫的)* as we've known all along.They use the heart emoji four times more than people in other countries.Russians also like using romantic emojis.Maybe it's all those low temperatures that make them look for love-they use more cold weather emojis than any other countries as well.Surprisingly,it seems that Arabic speakers also like showing love with emojis.Among Arabic speakers,the rose(玫瑰)*emoji is used ten times more than any other group studied.English speakers that live in the UK like using more lovely emojis.The study showed that British emoji users especially like to send the winking (眨一只眼)*smiley face.What emojis do you often use?41 Which emoji is used most often all over the world?42.People from ______like to use emojis about food.A.The UKB.FranceC.RussiaD.the US43 From the passage,we know that______.A Each Arabic speaker uses rose emoiis ten times a day .B Russians use the snow emoji more often than Americans.C.Englishmen like to use winking smiley faces to show love .D .Compared with Englishmen,the French use more lovely emojs .BYou may not know him as well as a movie star or a pop singer,but chances are that you have visited or walked by at least one of his works.The East Building,National Gallery Of Art in Washington D.C.,US,the Bank of China Tower in Hong Kong and the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha,Qatar,are just a few of his many creations.The man behind these great buildings is Chinese-American architect*(建筑师)Leoh Ming Pei.Born on April 26th,917 in a rich family in Guangzhou,China,and raised in Hong Kong and Shanghai,Pei had the chance to enjoy,lots of dreamy Chinese gardens and mountainside temples.These have always been the most important inspiration (灵感)to me as an architect,"said Pei.When he was just a young boy,Pei realized that he loved design and it led to a dream of him becoming an architect and engineer.At the age 18,he began studying architecture in the United States.He got his degree from MIT in 1939.Because of the start of World War II,he was unable to return to China.He stayed in the U.S.and completed his master's degree from Harvard.After starting his own architectural company in 1955,he went on to design such well-known buildings as the Kennedy Library in Boston and the glass pyramid at the Louvre Museum in Paris.In 1974,he returned to China for the first time."Though I have lived in the US for nearly forty years,I'm still Chinese."Pei said when yisiting his hometown.Pei is good at bridging differences-ancient and modern,man-made and natural East and West.On May 19th,2019,the great architect left us forever,but his works will last in our mind all.the time.44.Leoh Ming Pei is famous

can lead to a bad morning.Does it also do harm to our bodies?According to US sleep researcher David Dinges, not getting enough sleep can have serious side effects on our minds and bodies.For the study, Dinges divided some people into three groups.The first group was allowed eight hours of sleep for two weeks;the second group was given six hours;the third group got four hours of sleep.Dinges found that the people in the first group stayed normal while the people in the last two groups showed tiredness and negative feelings."When people don't have enough sleep,it’s hard to sense their happiness,"Dinges said."Also,they are less able to sense others' good feelings."But if not having enough sleep can harm our health,can we get better later on?“People think that sleep is like the bank that you can pay off your debt (债务)*at a later point in time,Us Sleep Scientist Matthew Walker told popular Scienc e."But we now know that sleep is not like that.According to Live Science,humans are the only animal species that don't have sleep storage (储存)systems,our brains(大脑)*cannot get back what we have lost.So Scientists suggest that no matter how busy people are,they should always try to get enough sleep.Here's the recommended*(建设)hours of sleep by age.Preschoolers(3 to 5 years):10 to 13 hours.School-age children(6 to 13 years):9 to 11 hours .Teenagers(14 to 17 years):8 to 10 hours.Adults(18 to 64 years):7 to 9 hours.Older adults(over 65 years):7 to 8 hours.48.To get enough sleep,a five-year-old boy should go to bed before _______and get up at seven in the morning.A.9:00
