Show (CES) has changed in recent years because of theCOVID-19 pandemic. Last year, an online version of the event was held for the first time. This year, the physical show returned to Las Vegas, Nevada. But the number of attendees decreased by about 70 percent. CES is produced by the Consumer. Technology Association.

She wears the same school uniform-a grey skirt and a green sweater. However, she is more than 80 years older than them. Priscilla Sitienei, who turned 99-years-old on February 11, said she went back to class to set a good example for her great-grandchildren and to start a new career. “I’d like to become a doctor because I used to be a midwife (助产士)” she said, adding that her children were supportive-of her decision. Back in 2003, the government of the East African country began an education campaign to help to pay for the cost of primary schooling, allowing some older members of society who had missed out on education in their younger days to continue their dreams. This has given Sitienei more than an education. She’s also become a film star. She traveled to Paris last year for the first showing of a film about her journey titled “Gogo”, which means “grandmother” in her native Kalenjin language. She’ll also be heading to New York City soon for the launch of the film there. Sitienei, who is in her sixth year of primary school, said her aims were far more practical than becoming a movie star. She had the idea when her great-granddaughter dropped out of school after getting pregnant, “I jokingly asked her if she had any money remaining on her school fee and she said yes, so I told her that I’d use it to attend school.” She said she had hoped that her great granddaughter would continue with her studies. But when she refused, Sitienei decided to go to school herself. Sitienci also enjoys other school activities, including physical education classes. “It keeps me fit. I get to jump around, even though not as much as they can do, but I at least move my body. That’s my joy,” she said. Her teachers use Sitienei’s wide experience to keep the peace during lessons. “I appoint Sitienei to help control the class. And it works. When I go outside, the class remains silent, “said Leonida Talaam, her class teacher. 24. How does Priscilla Sitienei differ from her classmates? A. The learning approach. B. The dressing style. C. Study efficienoy. D. Physical age. 25. Why are Paris and New York City mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To show the daily routines of a film star. B. To state Sitienei is really fond of traveling. C. To indicate effects of the education campaign on Sitienei. D. To explain the hard work it takes to make dreams come true. 26. Which word best describes Sitienei? A. Active. B. Passive. C. Independent. D. Intelligent. 27. What can be inferred about Sitienei from the last paragraph? A. She hates noise in class very much. B. She is a good helper to her class teacher. C. She always enjoys staying in silence alone.
