Sam Allred suffers from a rare and incurable kidney (肾脏)disease.One day，when his sister was playing a song repeatedly，Sam sang along.His sister thought it was funny so she recorded it and posted the video online.The video—and Sam—became a hit.Only 8 years old at that time，he couldn't have expected the response. “(The television show) The Doctors called and wanted me on their show so they paid for me to go to California，” says Sam，now 13，“and we got to stay in a hotel where all the movie stars stayed.” During that visit to California，Angle Allred，Sam's mother，had an idea about Sam writing a children's book.Together，she and Sam wrote Opening Hearts，which tells Sam's experience of living with a chronic (慢性的) illness. “I wrote the book to teach people to be kinder to people，” Sam says. Moreover，Sam wanted to send pillows to sick children staying in hospitals around the country to make their stay more comfortable，an idea that came from a time when he was in the hospital. “A few kind boys came in with pillows and they gave me one and it meant a lot to me that someone cared about kids in the hospital，” says Sam. Angie thought of starting a nonprofit organization to provide a way for people to contribute money to realize Sam's ideas.She named the nonprofit organization Kindness for Kids. Since then，Sam has taken pillows to children staying at Providence Hospital in Anchorage. Sam's father, Scott Allred, owns a small business that contracts (承包) shipping services with FedEx Ground.He asked the company for help. “FedEx Ground learned about Sam's pillow project，”says Erin Truxal，manager of public relations for FedEx Ground.“We thought，‘What a perfect way for us to get involved.’” The company provided shipping services for Sam to ship about 5,000 pillows to hospitals. Sam wants to send more pillows to all of the children's hospitals in every state.His goal is simple: Kids in the hospital as happy as they were before they got sick. 【1】We can learn from the text that Sam Allred____.

I start every summer with the best of intentions:to attack one big book from the past, a classic that I was supposed to have read when young and ambitious. Often the pairings of books and settings have been purely accidental: "Moby Dick" on a three-day cross-country train trip: “The Magic Mountain” in a New England beachside cottage with no locks on the doors, no telephones or televisions in the rooms, and little to do beyond row on the salt pond. Attempting "The Man Without Qualities" on a return to Hawaii, my native state, however, was less fruitful: I made it through one and a quarter volumes (册), then decided that I'd got the point and went swimming instead. But this summer I find myself at a loss. I’m not quite interested in Balzac, say, or “Tristram Shandy.” There’s always War and Peace, which I've covered some distance several times, only to get bogged down in the "War" part, set it aside for a while, and realize that I have to start over from the beginning again, having forgotten everyone’s name and social rank. How appealing to simply fall back on a favorite-once more into “The Waves” or “Justine,” which feels almost like cheating, too exciting and too much fun to properly belong in serious literature. And then there’s Stendhal’s “The Red and the Black,” which happens to be the name of my favorite cocktail (鸡尾酒) of the summer, created by Michael Cecconi at Savoy and BackForty. It is easy to drink, and knocking back three or four seems like such a delightful idea. Cecconi's theory: "I take whatever’s fresh at the green market and turn it into liquid." The result is a pure shot of afternoon in the park, making one feel cheerful and peaceful all at once, lying on uncut grass with eyes shut, sun beating through the lids... 【1】What can we infer about the author from the first paragraph? A. He has a cottage in New England. B. He shows talents for literature. C. He enjoys reading when traveling. D. He admires a lot of great writers. 【2】What do the underlined words "get bogged down" in paragraph 2 mean? A. Get confused. B. Be carried away. C. Be interrupted. D. Make no progress. 【3】Why does the author say reading his favorite books feels like cheating? A. He finishes them quickly. B. He should read something serious. C. He barely understands them. D. He has read them many times before. 【4】What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Books of Summer B. My Summer Holidays C. To Read or Not to Read D. It’s Never Too Late to Read |

We all know cameras. But have you heard of Google’s new camera? It is a small, smart device, called Clips. It comes with a case that has a clip (夹子), but it’s not designed to be worn on your clothing. Most interestingly, it uses artificial intelligence to take photography out of your hands so it can capture moments on its own. This roughly 2-inch by 2-inch camera, with a three-hour battery life and Gorilla Glass for toughness, is intended for candid moments, like when a child does something cute that may happen too quickly for you to pull out your smart phone. Onboard the Clips device, it uses machine learning algorithms (计算程序) to help capture scenes. Those algorithms include face recognition. “Once it learns that there’s a face you see frequently, it’ll try to get nice photos of those faces,” said Juston Payne, the device’s product manager. And they also want it to recognize facial expressions, which involved “training it to know what happiness looks like”. The Google team also trained it to recognize what not to shoot—like when a child’s hand is over the lens, or if it is tossed in a dark purse. The only way to see the images is by connecting the camera with your phone, as it has no screen for viewing or editing. Did people think it was strange? Yes, Payne admitted. But they said they addressed that by making it obvious what it is. A green light on the front signals that the device is on. Besides, unlike a camera meant to monitor your home, it is not connected to the Internet. “This product is only possible because of the way that technology has advanced,” Payne said. It was only in the past year or so that they could squeeze the technology down into a device this size. Going forward, we’re likely to get more assistance from the artificial intelligence packed into our apps and gadgets. 【1】What is the most outstanding feature of Clips? A. It is equipped with tough glass. B. It enables easy Internet access. C. It allows of hands-free photography. D. It can be worn on your clothing. 【2】What does the underlined word “candid” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Brief. B. Touching. C. Unforgettable. D. Embarrassing. 【3】What makes Clips a reality according to Juston Payne? A. The popularity of the Internet. B. The advance in technology. C. The rise of the smart phone industry. D. The reduction in the price of lens. 【4】What is the best title for the text? A. An Alternative Way to Photograph B. New Gadgets in the Age of Apps C. Artificial Intelligence in Everyday Life D. A New Digital Camera from Google |
