My best friend travelled to stay with my family last weekend. when she arrived, she went straight to the kitchen and, without asking, ate some dried fruit. She wasn’t being rude. I knew she would do this. We’ve known each other for almost 20 years. She can eat anything she wants from my kitchen. Indeed, I bought her favorite fruits and snacks at the shop that morning. Our long weekend together was simple. I was recovering from surgery and couldn't go to shopping malls, We passed the time running errands（差事）, but there's never been a quiet moment. We’ve lived in different cities for almost a decade, Reunions demand conversation. Our personalities are matched, to be sure，and a shared history is indescribably（难以形容地）valuable. We were competitors at high school before bonding. Then we discovered the many interests that we had in common. Our friendship developed itself quickly. We stayed companions and supported each other through law school and through our first jobs. Ours is a friendship for the ages. There is something special about friends who know everything about you. They are rare. They have seen your bright lights of achievements, the depths of desperation（绝望的境地）and the boring routine of the in-between. It's special to unpack feelings without wasting time filling in the blanks. As my long weekend shows, with such friends we don't have to “do”, but we simply have to “be”. We drop the act, the performance, the public version of ourselves, The special friendships are those which never fail to delight, whose continuation is worth the extra effort, despite distance and difference in our separate lives. I had the very great joy of this reminder last weekend. I'm lucky to have found this friend, and to see a future where her companionship remains. Being together is perfection. 【1】What can we infer from Para. 2? A.They talked constantly about their lives. B.They enjoyed running errands.

D.They' re comfortable just being themselves 【3】What message is conveyed in the last paragraph?

Drivers who drive a little too close to cyclists on the road could soon be caught on the spot. A new technology adopted by legal departments in Ottawa could help carry out legal distance between bikers and cars on the road. The device, which is fixed on a bicycle’s handlebars like a bike bell, uses sonar(声呐) technology to measure the distance between the bike and passing cars. The device will make a loud noise if the car is within one meter of the bike, the legal limit in the city of Ottawa, allowing the police rider to radio ahead to his colleagues so that the driver can be pulled over. “The safety of all road users is extremely vital, including cyclists. These cycling changes are directed at encouraging cycling, promoting road safety, and sharing the road,” said Rob Wilkinson, coordinator of the Safer Roads Ottawa Program. The authorities started the program last week with a single sonar device. One police officer rode the bike bearing the device around the city on Tuesday to prove the effectiveness(有效性) of the technology. Within a few minutes of riding, the device was beeping, registering that two drivers had violated the one-meter distance requirement. The drivers were pulled over and given brochures informing them that they had broken the safe distance law. Wilkinson noted that the device is not currently being used to issue fines, which can go up to $110, and that there are no plans to use it for enforcement(执法)in the future. At this point, its main use is to spread awareness about the safe distance law, which was passed last September in an effort to encourage rider safety and reduce deadly crashes. 【1】What will happen if the safe distance is beyond the legal limit? A.The cyclist will soon be caught on the spot. B.The police will make the driver stop by the road. C.The driver will be arrested for driving too fast. D.The device will at once call the police of itself. 【2】What’s the main purpose of using the device? A.To make the bicycle attractive. B.To encourage people to walk. C.To guarantee road safety. D.To warn drivers of danger. 【3】Which of the following can replace the underlined word “beeping” in paragraph 3? A.Making a loud noise. B.Receiving an urgent message. C.Sending a stop signal. D.Radioing the police rider. 【4】What does Wilkinson say about the device? A.It is being developed at present. B.It still has room for improvement. C.It may be used to fine drivers later. D.It helps reduce traffic accidents. |

Japanese scientists and technology companies are coming up with new ways to deal with employee shortages in delivery service. How exactly? By introducing a robot that can deliver food to your home. A Japanese company ZMP has launched robot tests recently. The ZMP’s delivery robot in the process of testing is a red box that measurs109 cm and 133 cm in heights and lengths respectively. It is designed to carry up to 100 kilograms of anything with an approximate speed of 4 miles an hour. It has its own navigating system and a map, sensors (传感器) and cameras that allow it to self-dive. These, for now, are its main technical abilities. The next developments will be control of food temperature, and perhaps voice control and speaking abilities. The robot will bested together with a local sushi (寿司) delivery company Ride on Express Co. Upon making a sushi order, customers will receive codes on their smart phones that will allow them to unlock the robot and get their orders out. Similar testing attempts have been undertaken by Domino’s Pizza in Australia, where they tested a delivery robot a year ago. In any case, before robots are able to deliver food or any other goods to real customers, massive testing on public roads or in the public airspace will have to take place. While it is in the government’s best interest to make up for the shortage of delivery in the Japanese labor market, it is clear that self-driving machines of any kind will not be permitted on the roads until they are fully tested and proven safe enough for public roads. According to the experts, this could take another 3 to 5 years. In any case, robot delivery is not such a distant future after all, and recent developments show that there is significant market demand for such type of delivery. 【1】How do Japanese handle the employee shortages in delivery service? A.By introducing a robot that can cook food. B.By employing science and technology. C.By increasing the salary. D.By delivering more at a time. 【2】What is the second paragraph mainly about? A.The basic data of delivery robots. B.The working principle of delivery robot. C.The introduction of delivery robots. D.The appearance of delivery robots. 【3】What’s the attitude of Japanese government to delivery robots? A.Critical. B.In different. C.Worried. D.Interested. 【4】What can be the best title for the text? A.Robot Delivery: New Tests in Japan B.Robot Delivery Coming to Use in Japan C.Employee Shortage in Delivery in Japan D.Latest Automatic Service: Robots |

Find Your Self-worth Do you measure your personal self-worth based on what others think of you? Do you work really hard to make others like or support you? Do you lack confidence? 【1】 Increasing self-image will help build your confidence and your personal self-worth. So how? Pay attention to your body language. How you hold your physical body has an effect on how others see you and on how you personally feel.

It’s not surprised. First, as the pace of modern life is becoming faster and faster, people had less time to cook even one meal for themselves. Second, the development of technology bring us smart phones and new apps, what may lead to the increase in online service. However, we should pay more attention to food. As we all know it, our health is closely related to what we eat. Although the service provides us convenience, we must take the food safety into considerate. Home-made food is cleaner and healthier, but I prefer to cook food at home rather than ordering meals online. |
