【题目】When Carly Williams was reporting on a farm in North Carolina, US, she laughed when a zebra(斑马)pushed its nose into her car.
Carly, 15, is a student at Nation Ford High, South Carolina and hopes to become a television anchor(主播). She is quickly making herself noticed.
Not long ago, she got a call from Teen Kids News, which is a weekly show that airs across the US. Carly had sent a few broadcasts she had done for her school news program to the show’s makes in New York. A producer contacted Carly and asked if she would like to work for the company.
“All I could say was, yes, yes, yes,”Carly said. “I didn’t even hesitate(犹豫).”
Carly said she became interested in broadcast journalism when she was in the sixth grade. One day, she heard that forest fires were burning nearby. After sports class, she went out into the forest and reported on the fires. She fell in love with broadasting, and from then on, she tried to do it as much as she could.
But despite doing what she loves, Carly has to face both good and bad comments from audience(听众)memebers.
“Everyone has a different opinion and I’ve always tried to tell Carly that you can’t listen to it,” said Lori Williams, a former CNN producer. “If it’s what you love to do, it will outshine everything else.”
Carly’s advice to other young broadcasters is to look for support from friends and family. “With every negative comment, there are five positive comments, and that’s how I think aobut it.” She said.
The first program Carly anchored was about an artist’s pumpkin patch. In the program, she asked teenagers what they thought of the artist’s work.
“I was a little nervous. I’m going through my lines thinking, ‘No pressure’,” Carly said.
She has also reported at a Coldplay concert and met Kathie Lee Gifford, an American TV host. Gifford told Carly to continue doing what she loves because “it will lead to big things”.
“Getting advice from her, especially, was absolutely awesome(棒极了),” Carly said.

【题目】We see the world in three dimensions. Now, we can print in three dimensions, too, thanks to a manufacturing process: 3D printing.
3D printing or additive manufacturing is a process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file.
The creation of a 3D printed object is achieved using additive processes. In an additive process an object is created by laying down successive (连续的) layers of material until the object is created. Each of these layers can be seen as a thinly sliced horizon till (水平的) cross-section of the eventual object. Today’s 3D printers are being used to print everything from design models to jewelry, crafts, product parts, body parts, and even food.
3D printing starts with making a virtual design of the object you want to create. This virtual design is for instance a CAD (Computer Aided Design) file. This CAD file is created using a 3D modeling application or with a 3D scanner (to copy an existing object). A 3D scanner can make a 3D digital copy of an object.
You will have to prepare a 3D model before it is ready to be 3D printed. This is what they call slicing. Slicing is dividing a 3D model into hundreds or thousands of horizontal layers and needs to be done with software.
Sometimes a 3D model can be sliced from within a 3D modeling software application. It is also possible that you are forced to use a certain slicing tool for a certain 3D printer.
When the 3D model is sliced, you are ready to feed it to your 3D printer. This can be done via USB. SD or WiFi. It really depends on what brand and type 3D printer you have.
When a file is uploaded in a 3D printer, the object is ready to be 3D printed layer by layer. The 3D printer reads every slice (2D image) and creates a three dimensional object.
Before you pick up a 3D printer and experimenting in the 3D world, consider how big the objects you might want to create. If your goal is to print foot-long rulers, you’ll fall short of that goal if the printer you choose can only handle objects smaller 6 inches in height and width.
Another reality check is print speed. You’ll be able to knock out a day’s worth of chores (琐事) while the printer is running, with a typical 4-inch model requiring as many as 12 hours to print. As with ordinary printers, print speed also depends on how well it prints.

【题目】A cab company in one of Japan’s major cities is introducing silent taxi drivers. Miyako Taxi, which is based in Kyoto, shows the new idea in March. The business is currently operating five “Silence Taxis” across the city.
The cars look like any ordinary taxi，but a notice written on the back of the passenger seat inform passengers that they have entered one of the new silent fleet. Drivers will offer a greeting when their passenger enters the car, and aside from confirming the route they will not engage in small talk. The drivers can indulge in conversation, only if they are spoken to first, and they are also allowed to communicate in emergency situations.
Announcing the idea, Miyako Taxi said: “This service is currently in a trial stage, with the goal of creating an in-car atmosphere that provides the most comfortable ride for passengers through limiting the driver’s speaking.” According to Japan Today, they made the move after hearing reports from passengers that they were fed up being forced to chat with their drivers.
The company will assess the popularity of the trial before deciding whether to expand it and roll it out across more of their drivers.
Language and speaking is at the heart of another issue facing Uber drivers, after lost a High Court Battle to block written tests in London. Drivers applying for a minicab license in the capital will now have to pass the written exam following Uber’s failed challenge against Transport for London (TfL). The company argued it could see up to 33,000 existing drivers lose their licences under the new rule.

Only there at the top can you see all of the nice things, just like in life. ”

【题目】People and animals often enjoy loving relationships with each other. When people adopt domesticated(家养的) animals into their families as pets, animals give humans the blessings of companionship and fun in return. In the wild, animals sometimes carry out dramatic rescues of people in dangerous situations, miraculously(奇迹般地) sensing human needs and jumping in without fear to help.

The dolphins formed a circle around the inner tube and took turns using their noses to lift Elian until fishermen working in the area discovered and rescued Elian and the two adults who floated nearby. The fishermen reported that, when they discovered Elian, he was repeating a prayer that his mother had taught him before drowning, asking guardian angels to protect him.
