They allow people to liven up their texts with hundreds of colourful images. But do you often feel that there are still not enough emojis to express (表达) yourself very well? Laura Ustick, manager of a fast-food restaurant in Illinois, US, said, “There are emojis for ice cream, pizza and sushi, but not for the all-American hot dog.” That’s why he and other emoji fans are taking action to get more emojis. “When we want to write something cute, it’s just not there,” Ustick told The Wall Street Journal. Other emoji fans are trying to get symbols like cupcakes and bacon, according to the newspaper. The BBC also reported on a petition (请愿书) posted on DoSomething.org calling on Apple to increase the diversity (多样性) within its keyboard. However, not everyone can design (设计) an emoji symbol. Emojis are largely controlled by the Unicode Consortium. It was founded by some computer programmers in the 1980s. In response (答复) to the DoSometing.org petition, an Apple spokesperson last month said, “We have been working closely with the Unicode Consortium. We are trying to meet the needs of emoji fans.” ( )46. From the first paragraph, we can learn that _______.

He shakes the bird and yells, “STOP IT!!!” This, of course, just makes the bird mad and he swears more than ever. Then the guy gets mad and says, “OK for you!” and locks the bird in a kitchen cabinet (橱柜). But the bird swears even louder than before. At that point, the guy is so mad that he throws the bird into the freezer (冰柜). For the first few seconds there is a terrible noise. Then the bird suddenly gets very quiet. At first the guy just waits, but then he starts to think that the bird may be hurt. After a couple of minutes of silence, he’s so worried that he opens up the freezer door. The bird climbs onto the man’s arm and says, “Awfully sorry about the trouble I gave you. I will do my best to improve my vocabulary from now on.” The man is astounded. He can’t understand the sudden change that has come over the parrot. “So, by the way,” the parrot says, looking nervously back towards the freezer, “what did the turkey do?” ( )51.The reading above is a _____.
