【题目】 Huawei Technologies Co. displayed its much-anticipated in-house operating system Harmony OS on Friday, marking what some call the Chinese tech giant’s biggest push yet to build its own software ecosystem for the era of the internet of things.
The move is also expected to weaken the influence of the United States government’s restrictions on Huawei using Google’s Android operating system in smartphones, analysts said.
Yu Chengdong, CEO of Huawei’s consumer business group, speaking in Dongguan, Guangdong province, said it is difficult to deliver a smooth experience across different devices with the huge amount of codes involved in the Android and Linux operating systems. Linux is an open-source operating system widely used in personal computers and other hardware.
“Harmony is a next-generation operating system designed to address the challenge,” Yu said, adding that it will be able to support a wide range of application situations, including smart TVs, automobiles and wearables.
The internet of things refers to a network of devices and other objects that can connect with each other and exchange data.
Yu said the US government’s restrictions have accelerated the company’s marketing of the system, which now has about 4,000 employees working on it.
The senior executive said Harmony can be used in its smartphones. But Android is still Huawei’s preferred choice for handsets if the company is allowed to use it.
“But when Android is not available, Harmony can be applied immediately to smartphones. Harmony is ready,” Yu added.
Jia Mo, an analyst at market research company Canalys, said even if Huawei does not use Harmony in its smartphones in the short term, its smartwatches and smart TVs can be equipped with Harmony to widen its use and accumulate more experience in building an ecosystem.
“Also, more importantly, Huawei chose to build Harmony into an open-source operating system and allow it to be compatible with Android. Thus Harmony will be more accepted by current Android users. This will prevent Huawei from repeating the fate of Microsoft in promoting smartphone systems,” Jia said. Microsoft failed to popularize the use of its Windows system in smartphones years ago.
【1】What is the significance of the Harmony OS?
A.It symbolizes Huawei has finished its own software ecosystem.
B.It may reduce the threat from US government’s restrictions.
C.It will accumulate more experience in building an ecosystem.
D.It successfully borrows from Microsoft's Windows system.
【2】Which of the following may take the place of the underlined word “compatible” in the last paragraph?
A.Used harmoniously.B.Operated quickly.
C.Resisted fiercely.D.Monitored closely.
【3】Where may we find this article?
A.Fashion magazines.B.TV interviews.
C.Historic documents.D.News websites.

【题目】If youre like many Americans, youre probably not getting enough sleep. Constantly on the go, you may think you never have enough time to finish everything on your to-do list. But that doesnt mean you should shortchange your sleep—or your health, for that matter.
【1】 Then, follow these simple tips to help you get better sleep and wake up feeling refreshed every morning.
Sleep Fix #1 Give your bedroom a makeover.
Make your sleeping area conducive to rest by keeping it dark and quiet. 【2】 Keep in mind that your body temperature drops at night, so you want to keep your room environment at a cool, comfortable level.
Sleep Fix #2 Get enough sleep.
Most people need seven or eight hours to best function, says Nancy Collop, MD, director of the Emory Sleep Center in Atlanta and president of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. “You dont want to be tired or sleepy during the day,” she says. If you need an alarm clock to wake up, find yourself chugging caffeine to stay awake, or you nod off during meetings, you may not be getting enough shut-eye.
Sleep Fix #3 Establish a regular routine.
Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day. People who frequently switch their sleep times experience something similar to jet lag. Basner points to “Sunday night insomnia,” where weekend warriors stay up late on Friday and Saturday and then have trouble falling asleep on Sunday. 【3】, he explains.
Sleep Fix #4【4】
Its tempting to watch TV or surf the web from bed, but those activities usually make it harder to wind down. The latest research suggests that artificial light coming from laptop screens, TVs, etc. suppresses the sleep-inducing hormone melatonin(诱导睡眠的褪黑激素). So give yourself a technology curfew and turn off those screens at least an hour before bedtime.
Sleep Fix #5 Make bedtime a priority for the whole family.
【5】 Use rituals(仪式、惯例) that help children wind down like bath, brushing teeth, and story time. Be aware that your kids may try to push the bedtime limits. “Kids are pretty clever. Theyll try to manipulate(操纵) parents if they can and parents need to try to avoid giving in to that,” says Colon.
A. There are treatments available for cases of sleeplessness.
B. So start by making sleep a priority in your life.
C. If you live in a city, consider using a white-noise machine to block out loud noises.
D. Unexplained sleepiness is an important signal that you should talk to your doctor.
E. Just those 24-48 hours can shift your circadian rhythm(昼夜节律) and cause poor sleep.
F. Put away your gadgets.
G. School-age kids benefit from a regular bedtime routine.
