As of now, the number of followers on the account has exceeded 16.6 million. Regarding the matter of selling goods, Dong said, “I have thought about it for a long time and feel” that the only possible value is “making many people's lives a bit happier and more joyful. If I can achieve that, I would be very satisfied. I hope everyone is happy and joyful.”
Dong was born in Tongguan, a small county in Shaanxi Province. He called himself a farmer's son. He said his father is his role model. His father always tries his best to buy and read newspapers, though he's a busy farmer. “I am just an ordinary person selling vegetables on Douyin.

Recently, a video about “Auntie Xie” has become popular on the Internet. In the short video, Xie introduces her fruit to customers from overseas, showing prices in fluent (流利的)English. People are shocked by her excellent English skills, about nearly 49,000 followers on her social media so far.
Auntie Xie is selling fruit at the Chengdu Giant Panda Base. There cute pandas have attracted lots of tourists from all over the world, driving the vendor(小贩) business. Once a few years ago, because the language was not clear, she couldn't express clearly and the foreign customers couldn't understand. “If I could talk with foreign tourists, my fruit would probably sell out quickly.” After that, she made up her mind to learn English by herself.
Using an English-Chinese dictionary, Auntie Xie started with phonetics(音标)and practiced by describing everyday items such as plastic baskets, leaves and flowers. In this way, she has become more and more proficient in English over time. Later, she found that it really worked. Because she was able to communicate with foreign tourists well, her apples were basically sold in a minute or two, and even foreign tourists praised her for speaking English so well.
Most of us tend to only see the images of Auntie Xie communicating with foreign tourists fluently, but we hardly think about how much effort she has put into making her fluent English so that foreign tourists can understand it faster. Many people in their forties and fifties have a memory that is not as good as when they were young. So it often takes a long time to read a word or sentence well. What's more, their patience is not as good as before, and they can't calm down to learn at all because of the trivial(琐碎的)matters of family and the rush of life. But all of those didn't stop Auntie Xie. She never gives up practicing English and using it in her life.
Auntie Xie has become a local celebrity(名人)among vendors near the base. And she has been invited by a company. “Looking ahead, I only have a simple hope for improved business and a better life," Auntie Xie said.
（ ）36. What can we know about Auntie Xie from Paragraph 2
A. Her age. B. Her dream. C. Her work. D. Her background.
（ ）37. What does the underlined word“it” refer to
A. Learning English. B. Selling fruit.
C. Introducing pandas. D. Asking foreigners for help.
（ ）38. The writer thinks learning English is_____for some middle-aged people.
A. easy B. difficult C.interesting D. boring
（ ）39. What kind of person is Auntie Xie according to the passage
A. Silent. B. Hard-working. C. Humorous. D.Helpful.
（ ）40. What's the main idea of this passage
A. How to learn English. B. Communicate with foreigners.
C. Introduce the pandas. D. A woman who sells fruit.

Nowadays, because of super cool technologies like artificial intelligence (AI). the Internet of Things, cloud computing (云计算) and big data, factories are becoming smarter. They need fewer workers than you might think.
Teway Food Group, a company in Chengdu, Sichuan, makes tasty seasonings(调料). There, robots do most of the work in their clever factory. First, the robots get and mix the ingredients(材料) in line with their recipes(食谱).After that, the ingredients go into a smart cooking system that carefully watches and controls the temperatures to make sure the seasonings taste really good. During the whole process, you hardly see any workers, and this makes everything cost much less. The president of the company, Yu Zhiyong, told The Paper, "Thanks to the smart factory, we have been able to make things 40 percent cheaper."
Besides helping companies save money, smart factories are also looking out for the safety of workers. Baidu created a smart safety assistant(助理)called Du An'an to make sure workers are safer in factories. It gives fast answers to safety questions from workers and also looks at safety problems, helping managers work with dangers and risks quickly. Thanks to Du An'an. a big chemical company called Daxie Petrochemical can now deal with accidents 50 percent faster than before.
