26、If you have failed in the past to try to make big changes in life, try again now, one tiny step at a time.

Every year it's the same.As December comes to an end, you think about the new year and all the ways you want to improve your life.But as you start to write down your hopes for the new year, you think about the last year.You excitedly write down all the changes you are going to make, but by the end of January those ideas get lost in your busy life.

Here's a suggestion: Forget the too big,hard-to-achieve goals and just think about the small ones.“We often think that we have to do everything in big steps. Even though it's so hard for us to reach it.” said Robert Maurer, who recently wrote the book One Small Step Can Change Your Life.“What we try to do is to begin with such a small step that we can't find any excuse not to do it.”

“Kaizen”, a Japanese word, is used to mean to change behavior and attitudes(态度). During World War Ⅱ, American factory managers were able to increase productivity by trying small continuous improvements instead of sudden changes. After the war, the idea was brought to a rebuilding(重建) Japan. It made Japan develop fast. The Japanese called it“Kaizen”, which means”improvement”.

Maurer studied the idea and did some experiments with it: “Kaizen” could possibly help people succeed in doing everything.

【1】At the end of December, people usually________.

A．fail to make big changes

B．plan for the last year

C．think about the new year

D．try to lose their ideas

【2】Robert Maurer wrote a book to tell us ________.

A．we should do everything in big steps

B．how to change one's life with One small step

C．we should try a lot of sudden changes

D．how to find a small step without any excuse

【3】The underlined part “increase productivity” in the passage means”________.

A．提高生产率

B．增加成本

C．增加出口量

D．提高待遇

【4】The writer of the passage suggests we should________.

A．make changes at the end of the year

B．do few experiments with"Kaizen”

C．do things with hard-to-achieve goals

D．take a tiny step to achieve big goals

27、   Someday soon an emoji (表情符号)might really save lives.

Hiroyuki Komatsu is a Google engineer who suggested adding a series of new emojis to the standard emoji library. It could help those with food allergies (过敏)understand what they are eating anywhere in the world. Emojis should cover characters representing major food causing allergies. They make people understand what are used in foods even in foreign countries and safely select meals.

Emojis are universal because they are chosen and developed by the Unicode Consortium, a non-profit company that oversees, develops and maintains how text is represented. This is in regards to all software products and standards. It's thanks to the Unicode Standard that when you text a friend six pizza emojis, they’ll see those six pizza pieces on their phone. This is true regardless of whether they use an iPhone or an Android.

Because emojis are everywhere and visual(视觉的),they could be helpful for restaurants and food packaging designers. They can communicate whether a product is made with common causing-allergy food. But as Komatsu’s advice argues, many of the most common causing-allergy foods are missing or poorly represented by the present emoji library. For example, there is an emoji for octopus, but nothing for squid. There is a loaf of bread that could symbolize grain, but a picture of wheat could be clearer. The emojis can be more direct when symbolizing foods.

It’s not uncommon for the Unicode Consortium to add new emojis to the library: several food-related emojis were put into use last June, including some long-waited food emojis. Apple included support for multiracial emojis in a recent iOS update. An artist even recreated Moby-Dick in emoji characters. Some might be sorry for the continuing death of the written word if Komatsu’s suggestion is accepted, but look on the bright side: if you ever see that happy poop on a box, you’ll know to stay away.

【1】How will emojis save lives according to the text?

A．By showing what the food contains visually.

B．By telling the safest places in the world.

C．By teaching people how to treat allergies.

D．By adding standard emojis about safety.

【2】What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us?

A．Emojis have the same meanings around the world.

B．The Unicode Consortium is a non-profit company.

C．What emojis represent is different in different places.

D．Different mobile operating systems have different emojis.

【3】What can be the reason for Komatsu’s advice?

A．Emojis are easy to mix up.

B．Present emojis are not enough.

C．Emojis can't interest most users.

D．Emojis can't represent foods directly.

【4】What is the author’s attitude to Komatsu's suggestion?

A．Doubtful.

B．Worried.

C．Supportive.

D．Uninterested.
