Smart Cameras to Help You Take Better Photos
Google Clips
One of the latest to launch (发布) is Google Clips. It is designed to be put somewhere in a room to take pictures by itself. It can also be attached to an object or a person's clothing.
Google says machine learning helps the camera choose the best times and situations for taking pictures and videos. Interested buyers can join a waiting list to be informed when it is on the market.
GoPro Hero
GoPro also uses machine learning to power its QuikStories characteristic. This tool takes existing photos and videos and automatically (自动地) creates a finished video piece, complete with music and effects.
Snap Spectacles
Messaging app Snapchat sells a pair of sunglasses with a built-in camera that can record short videos with the push of a button. Snap Inc. says the product, called Spectacles, is designed to "catch the moment, without taking you out of it."
The glasses can record short video clips that can be shared with Snapchat users. Snap Inc. has started selling its Spectacles sunglasses online in the United States.
Apple iPhone X
Apple's new iPhone X is being launched with its new Face ID system that it says will unlock the phone just by having the user look at it. This replaces the Touch ID on previous ones that used a fingerprint to unlock the phone.
Apple says the system works by projecting more than 30,000 dots on the face to create a kind of map. Apple says its facial recognition is even secure enough to allow payments through its Apple Pay service.

It is generally accepted these days that reading a book will help you relieve stress. And it may actually make you a more thoughtful person as you learn to connect with the various characters. But there’s more. A new study discovered that reading more than 3.5 hours per week actually increased a person’s lifespan(寿命)by 23 percent — about 12 years for the people involved in the study.
The study was led by a group of researchers at Yale University. It looked at 3,635 people, both men and women but all older than 50. The researchers divided them into three categories: those who didn’t read books; those who read up to 3.5 hours a week; those who read more than 3.5 hours a week.
After the researchers adjusted for factors like education, health and income, the data showed that, on average, those who read about 3.5 hours a week were 17 percent less likely to die.
In addition, the study examined people who read newspapers and magazines and found that they were 11 percent less likely to die than non-readers, but only if they spent more than seven hours reading each week. That may be due to the different forms of these items. When people read newspapers or magazines, they tend to skim the material rather than read it fully. Avni Bavishi, the study’s leader, said, “We believe people need to know, learn and understand more things when they are reading books, because they’re longer and there are more characters, more plots to follow, and more connections to make.”
From all of this, the authors concluded that, as with a healthy diet and exercise, books appear to promote a “significant survival ad
vantage.”
Clearly, there is a need for more study. We’re certain that book lovers all around the world will be glad to provide the data needed to make further conclusions.
24. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. A few people think that reading can help them relax.
B. Reading can make a person more sensitive.
C. Reading can help a person to live a longer life.
D. Most people think that reading can help them to live a better life.
25. What can we learn about the people in the study from the text?
A. All of them were older than fifty.
B. Most of them were women readers.
C. More than half of them were college students.
D. They were divided into four groups by the researchers.
26. Generally speaking, those who read newspapers and magazines ______ than those who read
books.[来源:学*科*网]
A. live longer B. are more likely to be positive
C. have a better ability to understand D. get fewer benefits in terms of the lifespan
C
Did you know that the Navy trained dolphins to find mines(地雷) which often blow up? Apparently, it was a cost-effective method; now, the Navy are preparing to replace the dolphins with robots, not because they were doing a bad job or because they want to do a more human job, but because, guess what? Robots are more cost effective.
Not particularly known for being humans, they’re also not planning to release or retire the dolphins, but they’re considering what other jobs they could be assigned to — probably some just as dangerous.
“Everyone is familiar with security patrol dogs. You may even know that because of their exceptionally keen sense of smell, dogs like beagles are also used to detect (发现)drugs and bombs, or land mines. But a dog would not be effective in finding a sea mine,” reads the Navy’s site. “But just as the dog’s keen sense of smell makes it ideal for detecting land mines, the U.S. Navy has found that the biological sonar(声呐) of dolphins, called echolocation, makes them uniquely effective at locating sea mines so they can be avoided or removed.”
The Navy will now equip underwater robots which will do the same job at a bigger distance, without needing constant rest and manned monitor. I, for one, hope the dolphins will be given a break and assigned to a safer task.
27. Why will robots take the place of dolphins to find mines?
A. Because dolphins do very bad jobs.
B. Because dolphins are endangered animals.
C. Because scientists want to be friendly to dolphins.
D. Because using robots is cheaper.
28. Dogs can be used to detect drugs due to ______.
A. excellent sense of smell B. higher IQ compared with dolphins
C. echolocation D. biological sonar
29. The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refers to ______.
A. security patrol dogs B. dolphins
C. sea mines D. the US Navy
30.What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Robots are going to take the place of dolphins to find mines.
B. Dolphins are good at finding mines.
C. Robots are welcome by humans because of their efficiency.
D. Compared to security patrol dogs, dolphins do well in finding sea mines.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Some parents wonder how they can help their children in the performance of education. Richard W. Riley once said, “The American family is the rock on which a solid education can be built. I have seen examples all over this nation where two-parent families, single parents, stepparents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles are providing strong families support for their children to learn. If families teach the love of learning, it can make all the difference in the world to their children. 31 “
Read together
32 Show your kids how much you value reading by keeping good books, magazines, and newspapers in the house. Let them see you read. Take them on trips to the library and encourage them to
get library cards. Let children read to you, and talk about the books. What was the book about? Why did a character act that way? What will he or she do next?
Look for other ways to teach children the magic of language, words, and stories. 33 Point out words to children wherever you go — to the grocery, to the pharmacy, to the gas station. Encourage your children to write notes to grandparents and other relatives.
Use TV wisely
Academic achievement(学习成绩) drops sharply for children who watch more than 10 hours of television a week, or an average of more than two hours a day. Parents can limit the amount of viewing and help children select educational programs. 34 This will help children understand how stories are structured(构成).
35
Studies show that successful students have parents who create and maintain family routines(常规). Make sure your child goes to school every day. Establish a regular time for homework each afternoon or evening, set aside a quiet, well-lit place, and encourage children to study. Routines generally include time performing chores(杂事), eating meals together, and going to bed at an established time.
A. Be honest with children.
B. Establish a daily family routine.
C. Parents can also watch and discuss shows with their kids.
D. Tell stories to your children about their families and their culture.
E. So here are steps you can take to improve your children’s education.
F. Children who read at home with their parents perform better in school.
G. However, not all parents have realized that being with their children is so beneficial.

People who have lost the ability to understand or use words due to brain damage 56 (call) aphasics( 失语症患者). Such patients as are mentioned here can be 57 (extreme) good at something else. From the changing expressions on speakers’ faces and the tones of their voices, they can tell lies from truths.
Doctors studying the human brain have even compared this power to that of a dog with an ability to find out the drugs 58 (hide) in the baggage. Recently, scientists carried out tests to see whether all that was said about aphasics was true. They studied a mixed group of people. Some were normal while 59 were aphasics. It was proved that the aphasics were far ahead of the normal people in recognizing false 60 (speech) — in most cases, the normal people were fooled by words, but the aphasics were not.
Dr. Oliver Sacks mentioned 61 particular case in a hospital. Some aphasics were watching the president 62 (give) a speech on TV. Since the president had been an actor 63 (early), making a good speech was no problem for him. But his way of speaking had the opposite effect 64 the patients. They didn’t seem to believe him. Instead, they burst into laughter. The aphasics knew that the president did not mean a word of 65 he was saying.

Dear Anna,
How are you doing?I'm planning to go to the UK to take a three﹣month English course at the University of Nottingham after graduation in June.It's quite expensive but I'm hoping to improve my pronunciation.
To help cover the costs of my study,I aim to find a part﹣time job.It's also a good way to practice my oral English and develop a better understanding of the British society.So I'm wondering if you could ask around your friends to see if anyone wants a waiter in the restaurant or a Chinese teacher for their children.I would appreciate it very much if you can help me.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua.
