Wechat is popular among us，but if someone deletes you or blocks（屏蔽）you on it，does it mean you've made him or her angry？
It depends．
Maybe you have just left messages too often without much valuable information．For example，the questions are those like "how are u？""what are u doing？""do u love me？？"too often．You know，people may feel bored after answering such kinds of questions time after time．
Another possible reason may be that you've sent something unpleasant to your friend or in your friend circle．I just blocked one of my middle school classmates yesterday because she was trying to sell fake goods in the friend circle，and I hate it quite much．
Some people delete the one's name from friends' list because they no longer want to see it （maybe ex﹣boyfriend or ex﹣girlfriend）and they don't want the one to see their "Moments"（动态） on WeChat （maybe they publish very private pictures or life or thoughts they don't want to share with him or her．）
So why you are blocked may depend on his or her mood or preference （喜好），and the reasons a person gets blocked are various from person to person．So I suggest you to write an email or make a phone call to that person if he or she really means a lot to you to see why he or she is dissatisfied with you，and to find out how you can make up for the case．
（1）From paragraph 3，we can know if you are blocked that is because ．
A．you are asking too many boring questions
B．your friend is angry
C．your friend doesn't like answering questions
D．your friend has no time to reply

A．令人喜爱的
B．真实的
C．完美的
D．假冒的
（3）In paragraph 5，the underlined word "it" refers to ．
A．the goods
B．the name
C．the private life
D．the friend circle
（4） causes of being deleted or blocked are mentioned in the passage．
A．4
B．2
C．3
D．5
（5）Which is the best title for the passage？
A．Friend Circle
B．Why Are You Blocked？
C．A Popular Way of Communication
D．How to Make Your Friend Satisfied．
How can cactus（仙人掌）help the world？It can provide a new kind of sustainable fuel （可持续燃料）．Nopalimex， a company in Mexico， has made one of the world's first cactus﹣ powered factories．The idea came to Sosa in Nopalimex when he was looking for ways to save money for his food factory， He now powers his factory with cactus gas （气体）． The cost to produce the gas is half the cost of electricity．
Soon， the gas produced by Nopalimex will also be used in cars．Nopalimex's gas is made by using the prickly pear （刺梨） a kind of cactus．To make the gas，the prickly pear is mixed together with manure （肥料）． Then the mixture produces the gas that can be used as fuel．

Mr. Guo is a teacher from Xi'an． He asked his students to hand in their homework through a QR code（二维码）．"We spent an hour or two in class learning how to generate（使产生）the codes， and in the end everything gets easier，" said Guo．"When students finish the homework， they keep it on WeChat． Then， each student makes his own QR code and gives it to me． So I can check their homework everywhere using my computer or telephone．"
The QR codes can be sent to Mr. Guo by email， QQ and WeChat． When Guo scans （扫描） his students' QR codes， their homework appears on his phone． He finds that their homework becomes more creative， with many pictures， music and even videos．
Guo's students like the new way and think it is interesting． "We are living in the information age． Many students like to work with computers， which makes learning more fun．" said Tingting， a student of Guo's．
"The paper is not easy to keep， but the code is easy to keep and share．" Guo said，"It is worth trying to use new technology in education． Education itself is a kind of creation． I don't want my students to fall behind the times．"
