Our favorite tech gifts of 2019 When it comes time for the holiday shopping season, we’re extra choosy about the countless technology products that we will buy and give to friends and family. Here’s what impressed editors, reporters and producers the most in 2019. Lumos Matrix I recently bought a Lumos Matrix helmet (头盔) ($229) with built-in lights to make riding my bike at night a lot safer and less stressful. It’s a regular pain point for bikers like me to make sure absent-minded drivers see you, especially when it’s dark. This definitely helps. — Matt mcfarland, Writer Goodreads app Although this isn’t a gift, the free Goodreads app is a gamechanger. At the beginning of 2019, I promised myself I’d read at least one new book every month. I set a goal of 12 books on Goodreads and used it to track my progress, keep a list of books I’m interested in and check out what friends and others on the app were recommending. I read 35 books this year! (That’s up from five books last year.) Goodreads feels like one of the rare feel-good social networks. — Kaya Yurieff, Tech Reporter Ember coffee cup I drink my coffee slowly so it has routinely cooled by the time I get halfway through it. For my birthday, my mum bought me a cup ($99), which keeps my coffee warm until I finish it without trips to the microwave for reheating. I can also set the specific temperature I want. It makes my mornings so much easier. — Millie Dent, Intern 【1】What is the main advantage of Lumos Matrix helmet? A.Helping drivers concentrate. B.Managing the bad weather. C.Making night riding safer. D.Making bikers less painful. 【2】What does the writer mean by referring to the Goodreads app as “a gamechanger”? A.It changes some readers’ reading rules. B.It provides readers with free internet games. C.It limits the number of books a reader can read. D.It inspires readers to read more through interactions. 【3】Which of the following can best describe Ember coffee cup? A.Eco-friendly. B.Convenient. C.Expensive. D.Simple. |

Teenage life is quite dramatic but that doesn't mean you cannot enjoy your life in these years. Even with your daily troubles, your life is not very hard if you know how to deal with them. I know exactly how you feel. Life as a teenager can be hard. You are not a kid anymore, because you are smart enough to observe and analyze your surroundings. However, you are still not an adult because there are still lots of experiences that you need to have and lessons that you need to learn from these experiences. To top it all, the hormonal (荷尔蒙的)imbalance in you body can really mess you up emotionally. I have been there. I was in it for 6 years exploring what life is about. As a teenager, I had a major problem completing my chores on time. And at that time, all that I needed to do was to finish my assignments, study for the upcoming test and clean my room. Now, I have much more things to do: cooking, cleaning and working while striking a balance between all my relationships related to work, family and friends. That really is a lot of work. So, I will just give you one golden tip, quoting from Benjamin Franklin," Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today." Life becomes much easier now because I finish all my work on time and I have enough time to let my hair down. Half the problems as a teenager are because we hate doing things. We'd rather go and have fun than sit down and take care of our duties and responsibilities. That is why you have so much trouble in your life; your parents won't let you go out with friends because you haven't cleaned your room or your teacher is always criticizing you because you haven't finished your assignments. 【1】What does the writer mainly want to tell us in paragraph 1 ? A.Teenage life is tough. B.Teenagers can't enjoy life. C.Teenage life is changeable. D.Teenagers should learn more. 【2】What plays a key role in making teenage life hard according to the writer? A.The adolescent changes. B.The lack of life experience. C.The failure of concentration. D.The unfamiliar surroundings. 【3】How did the writer feel about her teenage life? A.It was difficult. B.It was simple. C.It was enjoyable. D.It was boring. 【4】What does the writer advise teenagers to do? A.Abandon their friends. B.Go and have fun. C.Complete their homework. D.Shoulder the burden. |

As we reflect on the evolution of fitness over the centuries, and the emergence of a well- organized and growing "fitness” market and industry, it is well to ask ourselves: what have we lost, and what have we gained? Obviously, much good has come out of these recent developments: there's widespread awareness of the importance of regular exercise, nearly every community has a gym or fitness club where people can go or pay to work out, and we understand more about how the human body works.Yet despite the many health and fitness methods, programs, and resources, the general population has never been so physically sedentary （久坐的）and out-of-shape. A recent World Health Organization report indicates that life expectancy （寿命）in the U. S. dropped for the first time since 1993. The health of modem people is declining, despite highly advanced medical technologies and the booming health and fitness industry. How could that be? A large part of it is motivation. People are simply not as motivated to move their body and get healthy as they were in the past. We live in a society where the inability to operate one's body in a practical and effective manner is no longer an embarrassing condition. The fitness industry, no matter how good each new program claims to be, has failed to get the majority of people to value, practice, and enjoy physical exercise. So, should we expect the answer to this dilemma to come from even more varied, or more technologically advanced programs and equipment? Or will the solution come from a different mindset, a simpler approach and practice, and overall a new culture? 【1】What does the author tell us about fitness industry in paragraph 2? A.It provides better technology. B.It is supported by most people. C.It brings about positive effects. D.It costs people too much money. 【2】What is the main reason why people fail to do physical exercise? A.Not enough equipment. B.Lack of inner drive. C.Misguided instructions. D.Embarrassing living conditions. 【3】What does the author seem to agree with? A.Change attitudes to fitness. B.Rely on standard practice. C.Seek more potential customers. D.Turn to more advanced programs. 【4】What is the best title for the text? A.Lost in fitness B.Misunderstanding about fitness C.Evolution of fitness D.Importance of fitness |

Scientists have developed a new type of smart bandage (绷带) that can signal the type of bacterial (细菌的) infection it’s protecting, just like a traffic light, as well as release the right type of drugs on demand. The traffic light system works just like this: Green means no bacteria or a low concentration of bacteria, yellow means drug-sensitive (DS) bacteria responsive to standard antibiotics (抗生素) and causes antibiotic release, and red means drug-resistant (DR) bacteria that need extra help to be wiped out. In testing the bandage on mice, the research team was able to successfully treat both DS and DR infections using the new method. However, the common methods of sensing resistance are limited by time, the requirement for professional personnel, and expensive instruments. Moreover, the abuse of antibiotics causes the accelerated process of bacterial resistance. It’s easy to see how a simple bandage and light could overcome some of these limitations. Treatment doesn’t have to wait for a doctor to make a diagnosis, and the bandage can get the right sort of drugs applied at the earliest opportunity. What’s more, the person wearing the bandage gets real-time feedback on what’s happening with the infection, if there’s an infection at all. The researchers say it offers numerous benefits over existing treatments that make use of light, including photodynamic therapy or PDT. We’ve been seeing quite a few upgrades to the traditional bandage in recent years, thanks to advances in science — like the nanofiber mesh that attracts bacteria and draws some of it out, speeding up the healing process. Then there’s the novel bandage for treating burns, which stops bacteria from multiplying and lowers the risk of infection. The more work that a bandage can do while it’s protecting a wound, the better. Efforts to improve bandages continue and now we've got a bandage that not only releases antibiotics, but also tells the patient exactly what’s going on too. 【1】What is the smart bandage mainly designed to do? A.Avoid the use of antibiotics. B.Clear out harmful bacteria. C.Detect bacterial infections. D.Increase treatment options. 【2】What is the advantage of the smart bandage? A.It saves much time and cost. B.It removes the risk of infection. C.It prevents the bacterial resistance. D.It improves doctor-patient relationship. 【3】What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A.Traditional bandages are out of use now. B.More smart bandages will be developed. C.Progress in science calls for more research. D.People are urged to study medical science. 【4】What does the text focus on? A.A successful test on mice. B.A colour-changing bandage. C.Sensing drug-resistant bacteria. D.Preventing abuse of antibiotics. |

Here's a surprising truth—one of the most powerful weapons to enhance your life is your own tongue! 【1】 Concentrate on the qualities of other people that you can affirm instead of on their faults.This alone should do wonders in relieving stress in your relationships.Doctors know that prolonged anxiety harms you，but encouraging words can remove stress and a peaceful mind leads to improve physical health，too.【2】 Avoid fueling verbal fire.When someone starts to blow up all at you，be careful about your response.Why burn your relationship house down with your own mouth？Try spraying water on an argument with calm words instead of using a flamethrower.How many marriages have been destroyed when in a fit of anger people spew out hurtful accusations to one another that are never forgotten！【3】 “A soft answer turns away wrath(狂怒)，but a harsh word stirs up anger.” Stop complaining.We all know people who complain all the time，especially about the fault of others.【4】 Nothing is ever going well for them，and probably nothing ever will—as long as they keep complaining and putting their energy on what they really don't want. Do think before you speak.【5】 It is useless regretting.It doesn't matter how unintentional they may be，words can sometimes cut a lot deeper than a sword.Very often you'll hear people say，“I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.”Well，if you didn't want to hurt feelings why couldn't you be thoughtful before you let the unpleasant words escape your loose lips? A.You should practice waiting a while before answering someone when you are angry. B.Practice speaking positive words instead of negative ones. C.We store in our minds in a kind of mental art gallery what others have said to us. D.Once the words leave your mouth，it is impossible to take them back. E.The longer you think，the better you'll speak. F.The more they do so，the more they are disliked. G.Think twice before speaking. |
