A South-African female engineer has become an inspiration for other women looking to
succeed in fields led by men, after photos of her constructing an extension to her house went so
popular on social media.
Last month, South Africa celebrated Women's Month and a 26-year-old woman from
Pietermaritzburg became the unlikely poster girl for this year's celebration, after photos of her
single-handedly working on an extension to her house went popular on Facebook and other social
networks.The pictures showed the woman preparing the cement, making all the measurements and
piling the building blocks-all by herself, which not only won her a lot of praise, but also
empowered other women to follow their dreams even if the difficulties are against them.
South African website Briefly managed to track down the woman of the photos, who turned
out to be a trained civil engineer named Zama Philisiwe Zungu. She inherited(继承) the passion
for construction from her father, who is also a builder, and made the decision to become an
engineer in 2014, getting into the Umgungundlovu TVET College in her home city.
Zama said that she had never worked in construction before, but that the practical exams she
had passed during college gave her the confidence that she could build the extension to her house
by herself."This is what I am good at," the 26-year-old said. “Renovating my home is very fun and
exciting at the same time; practices are more fun than theory.”
Zama dreams of one day running her own construction company and plans to empower more
women in the engineering industry."Always put your best in everything that you do and never
underestimate the power of pouring your heart in what you do.Always seek to improve and
empower yourself,”Zama advised other women.
24.Why has the female engineer become an inspiration for other women?
A. Because she is popular on social media.
B. Because she goes to college in a poor country.
C. Because women finally control the main fields.
D. Because women seldom succeed in the construction industry.
25.What do we know about Zama?
A.She chose the best location for her house.
B. She made a lot of preparations on her own.
C. She praised other women following their dreams.
D.She made a lot of building blocks and cement.
26. What does the underlined word “Renovating” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Making the room better and larger.
B.Painting the walls of a new house.
C. Tearing an old house into pieces.
D. Drawing a new room in the paper.

Imagine shopping in a store only to realize during checkout your wallet and phone are both
left at ho me or missing! What if the cashier told you that you could pay using your palm?
This may soon become a reality thanks to Amazon's newest product: Amazon One. By
linking your palm to a credit card,this technology could allow users to pay at stores
Amazon is piloting the hardware in two of its Amazon Go stores in Seattle, and plans to take
it to twenty more in the near future.The company is also hoping to sell its technology to other
retailers.
Like fingerprints, palm prints are unique to a person.Do you know that palm prints develop
during the fetal(胎儿的)stage, even before we are born? Physical features such as palm veins(纹
路), fingerprints, and facial characteristics are most commonly used for biometric identification.
However, palm scan technology has been around for some time and is considered the safest of all.
Unlike fingerprint scans that may not record correct information when there is a cut or bruise,
or when fingers are wet, palm scans are more reliable. By scanning your palm, it is more
convenient to pay.The patterns of veins don't change during the human lifetime. More importantly,
unlike fingerprints that can be copied fro m something people touch, it is not possible to get a
picture of a person's palm and guess the vein patterns.
There are also some concerns about this new technology, one of which is security, as Amazon
plans to store the users' palm data on the cloud. This is a risk as hackers can get access to this
information unlike Apple's face scan technology that stores the data on your iPhone. In spite of
this, it is a pretty impressive technology. Who knows how the world will develop in the future? All
you may need to do is wave your hand.
28.What's the purpose of giving an example in paragraph 1?
A. To introduce the topic.
B. To remind you to take-your phone and wallet.
C. To share an unhappy experience.
