    The University of Birmingham is the first excellent UK Russell Group university to announce that it will accept the "Gaokao" exam for high-flying Chinese students wishing to join its undergraduate courses in 2019. High school students who complete the "National Higher Education Entrance Examination", or Gaokao, with top grades will be able to apply for direct entry onto Birmingham degree programmes without first completing a foundation year which is a routine for the freshman.

Gaokao is usually taken by students in their last year of senior high school and, every year, each province in China sets the grades required to gain admission to its universities. It is usually held across China in early June. Students are tested in Chinese, Mathematics, a Foreign Language and social sciences or natural sciences.

University of Birmingham Vice-Chancellor Professor Sir David Eastwood said: "The University of Birmingham has been challenging and developing great minds for more than a century. We welcome people from around the globe to study at Birmingham and Chinese students form an integral part of our education and research community. We are further opening access to Birmighamˈs wealth of education opportunities for the brightest and most dedicated Chinese students by accepting this strict and important qualification. I look forward to welcoming these high-flying students to the University of Birmingham. "

Gaokao is increasingly accepted by universities in Australia, the USA, Canada and mainland Europe. Birmingham will only be considering high quality students who achieve a minimum 80% Gaokao score and meet additional academic and English language requirements.

Professor J on Frampton, Director of the University of Birminghamˈs China Institute said: "The University of Birmingham has a long history of educating students from China and one of our most famous graduates is Li Siguang-the founding father of Chinese geology. I am delighted that the University is now accepting the Gaokao. This gives the brightest and best Chinese students an opportunity to move straight into the first year of our undergraduate programmes and experience the benefits of studying at a global Top 100 university, such as Birmingham. "

 As Simon Kindleysides, 34, took his first step in the London Marathon in April, he felt as if magic was in the air.

"As we were walking toward the first mile, we actually started joining all the runners," he said. "Everyone was on the streets, cheering, and that was a magical moment." As time went on, the crowds and other racers spread around. Kindleysides and his team of eight supporters continued walking.

Kindleysides, who is paralyzed(瘫痪的)from the waist down and typically uses a wheelchair, was equipped with an exoskeleton(体外骨骼)to help him walk. His supporters walked with him to change the batteries in his exoskeleton so he could keep moving.

In 2013, Kindleysides was diagnosed with a brain tumor (肿瘤) that was growing in a way that pressed on certain nerves, leading to him losing feeling in his legs. He was told he would never walk again. Before his paralysis, the London-based singer and dancer had "always wanted to run a marathon," he said, but he never made the plan to do so--until this year.

During the London Marathon, the last two miles were the hardest. "At that point, I was exhausted. It was freezing cold, and I was hurting emotionally," Kindleysides said. But he kept going. "I didn't want to let people down. I had a team of eight, and I was raising money for The Brain Tumour Charity," he said. "I didn't want to let them down, myself down, and I thought if I would get this far, I would have to continue."So he continued and made history as the first paralyzed man to complete the London Marathon on foot.

Then, recovering at home, he shared his accomplishment with his three children. "They used to say I'm the only dad in their whole school who's in a wheelchair, and now they say I'm their dad, the only one who has walked a marathon," he said.

Kindleysides is training to complete three more marathons next year, including the London Marathon again.

5.Why did Kindleysides' supporters accompany him all the way?

A. To help change the batteries. B. To inspire him as a team.

C. To guide him along the road. D. To assist him with the wheelchair.

6.What caused Kindleysides' disability?

A. An operation on his brain for the tumor.

B. An accident in the previous marathon.

C. Some nerves produced out of the tumor.

D. The pressure from the brain tumor on the nerves.

7.What partly supported Kindleysides to finish the hardest two-mile race?

A. The prize money for the winner. B. The strong desire to recover.

C. The kindness to help the charity. D. The belief to beat others.

8.What can we learn about Kindleysides?

A. He was once a successful actor.

B. He is ambitious for joining in London marathons once more.

C. His children feel a pity for him in the wheelchair now.

D. He was the first disabled man to complete the London Marathon.

    When there are some strangers in front of us, which of them will we trust?

According to a new study in the online PLOSOne, people make their decisions to trust others largely based on their faces. Your appearance can do a lot for you, especially if you are in the financial industry. The more trustworthy you look, the more likely people will buy what you’re selling.

Researchers from Britain’s University of Warwick Business School, University College London, and Dartmouth College, US, did a number of experiments.

The research team used computer software to make 40 faces, from the least to the most trustworthy-looking. The study said that the difference between a trustworthy face and one that isn’t as trustworthy comes from features that look slightly angry or slightly happy, even when the face is at rest. However, a slightly happy face is more likely to be trusted. Researchers gave participants some money and asked them which face they trusted to invest the money for them. Then researchers gave some good and bad information about the people with these faces, and asked the participants again whom they trusted. The results showed that even if they got different information, the participants didn’t change their choices. They were still more likely to invest their money with the more trustworthy-looking faces.

Chris Olivola, one of the study’s authors, said in the University of Warwick’s press release: “It seems we are still willing to go with our own instincts about whether we think someone looks like we can trust them.”

12.According to the study, which of the following faces is most likely to be trusted?

A.An embarrassed face. B.A disappointed face.

C.A smiling face. D.A nervous face.

13.What do we know about the experiments?

A.Most participants gave their money to the trustworthy-looking faces.

B.Researchers took photos of the 40 people’s faces in colleges.

C.The trustworthy faces were given good information.

D.Participants liked to choose the faces with good information.

14.Which of the following best explains “instincts” underlined in the last paragraph?

A.Feelings rather than opinions or ideas based on facts.

B.Judgements that are easily changed by others.

C.Good information that are given by people around.

D.Opinions that grow out of social practice.

15.What is the text mainly about?

A.Why people trust a stranger with good appearance.

B.People usually judge strangers according to their faces.

C.How different information affects people’s decisions.

D.Why the research team carried out the experiment.

    The dictionary isn’t forever. What happens to a word when its popularity starts to decline? Here’s how the process of deleting a word from the dictionary works.

The dictionary is actually a steadily enlarging volume. 16. New words arise from emerging and expanding disciplines. Definitions also change and shift, so common words gain new meanings. On the other hand, there are also words that become outdated. 17.

Who decides which words to delete? 18. While adding a word to the dictionary is a precise process, it’s even more difficult for a word to get deleted. Editors maintain and study vast language databases to keep up-to-date on the words in circulation across various media.

The Oxford English Dictionary covers the English language over the last 1,000 years, and it’s considered definitive and authoritative. 19. And each has its own process for additions and removals.

20. A 2019 petition(请愿)with 30,000 signatures calls for the Oxford English Dictionary to remove sexist language and definitions, especially those terms under the word “woman.” And Merriam-Webster recently changed definitions of identity-related words to reflect new cultural meanings around fairness.

A. Some new words might be out of date one day.

B. As a result, words get removed from the dictionary.

C. Dictionary additions and deletions reflect social changes.

D. It’s up to the dictionary editors to make the final decision.

E. That’s because the English language constantly develops and changes.

F. These are often the types of words that will make it into dictionaries.

G. However, there are many other dictionaries that are reliable and trustworthy.

Dear Eric,

Congratulations on your winning the first prize in the Chinese calligraphy contest!

As is known to all, calligraphy is an important part of Chinese traditional culture. It is really amazing for a foreigner to write Chinese characters so well. I’ve already had a copybook of Wang Xizhi’s works delivered to you. I hope it can be of some help.

I’m looking forward to your greater progress in the future.

Yours,

Li Hua
