Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you. Well, ni-hao. (Laughter) It is such a pleasure and an honor to be here with all of you at this great university, so thank you so much for having me. I’m here today because I know that our future depends on connections like these among young people like you across the world.
That’s why when my husband and I travel abroad, we don’t just visit palaces and parliaments (国会) and meet with heads of countries. We also come to schools like this one to meet with students like you, because we believe that relationships between countries aren’t just about relationships between governments or leaders — they’re about relationships between people, particularly young people. So we view study abroad programs not just as an educational chance for students, but also as an active part of America’s foreign policy (政策).
Through the wonders of modern technology (科技), our world is more connected than ever before. Ideas can cross different countries with the click of a mouse. Companies can do business and compete with companies across the world. And we can text, email, skype with people in the world.
So studying abroad isn’t just a fun way to spend a time of learning; it is quickly becoming the key to success in our times. Because getting ahead in today’s workplaces isn’t just about getting good grades or test scores in school, which are important. It’s also about having real experience with the world beyond (超出) your borders—experience with languages, cultures and societies very different from your own. Or, as the Chinese saying goes: “It is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books.” Where did the speaker probably give the talk to the audience?

The movie Big Hero 6 has delighted audiences of all ages and the biggest reason for its success is the film's superhero, Baymax.
Baymax was made by Hiro's older brother, Tadashi. He wanted to help a lot of people in need and Baymax was how he would do it. At first Baymax was used as a personal healthcare assistant robot to heal the sick and injured. If you are his "patient", he will tell you, "There, there, it will be all right" and he won't leave you alone until you're well again.
After Tadashi died, Hiro upgraded Baymax and changed it into a rocket-fueled fighting machine who can fly above the city of San Fransokyo and take out any enemy. The robot carries Tadashi's selfless personality and through him, Hiro can still keep a little piece of his brother always.
There are some cool things about Bymax. As a robot, Bymax feels no pain, and he carries some special abilities. Bymax can fix himself if necessary. All he needs is some Scotch Tape. The funniest thing about Baymax may be his little footsteps. With a fat body and tiny legs, the superhero has to say "I am not fast," But that doesn't stop him from heading out into the world.Is Big Her0 6 a successful movie?
Who was Bymax made by?
What was Bymax used as at first?
What does Bymax need if he wants to fix himself?

We hold the answers to about all of life's questions in our hands today. But that means our brains are feeling free to take some rest. According to the Daily Mail, our growing reliance on(依赖) the Internet for fact checking is making our memories worse.
Scientists at Harvard University found people now regard Google and other search engines as an outside part of their own brains, rather than a tool. Writing in the Journal Scientific American, Harvard psychologists Daniel Wegner and Adrian Ward warn that people who believe their memorable facts that are saved online are much worse at remembering them.
"The Internet is also unlike a human memory partner; it knows more and can produce the information more quickly, You can find almost all information today easily through a quick Internet search. It may be that the Internet is taking the place of people's memory."
In a series of tests, researchers found it was easy for people to remember information well if they believed it would be deleted.
Those who thought it was stored on a computer were more forgetful, even if they were asked to keep the information in mind.When people want to check a fact, probably they will.
| A．look up in a book |
| B．ask friends |
| C．use the Internet |
| D．go to teachers for help |
According to the passage, if we depend on the Internet for fact checking,.
| A．our brains will become smaller |
| B．our brains will become bigger |

People are easy to remember things well if they know.
| A．they will lose the information |
| B．they will lose the computer |
| C．the information is good for them |
| D．the information is important |
The writer wants to tell us.
| A．not to use Google |
| B．Google is bad for our memory |
| C．Google is a good tool for checking facts |
| D．not to depend on the Internet for checking facts too much |
