    A new camera made by a company named Netatmo has facial recognition software(识别系统)that can tell parents at work that their children have returned from school, or that a package has been taken to their home. It can also tell them if a stranger has entered their home.

    Janina Mattausch is a product marketing manager for Netatmo.

    “The common security(安全)cameras at present are not that smart. So, they can tell you if something is moving but they don’t necessarily know if it’s a human being or, ah, if it’s your kids—they don’t’ know the difference, so they will warn you all the time.”

    When family members enter a home, the new camera "recognizes" (识别 ) them and sends information to the owner's smartphone. The owner can choose to see the video then or later. But if an unknown person enters a home, the camera will send the owner a warning that will cause an alarm to sound on the owner's smartphone.

    That is what happened recently to a smart home camera owner named Darrmen. He lives in Paris.

    "On a Friday I was at work, attending a big monthly meeting when my phone warned. At first I told myself 'Oh, it must be a mistake, maybe I have to set the system again. “But the notice on my phone was telling me that there was a movement in my flat and also a face that the software did not recognize.”

    He watched the video and was very surprised by what he saw.

    "I saw a person I did not know with his shoes on. I was watching it live on video. So I felt totally unbelievable, frozen. I asked a workmate to take me back home as fast as possible and I called the police on the way. "

    With the help of the video, the police found the intruder (闯入者) later that day.

    1. The new camera made by Netatmo can ______ .

    A. warn the strangers

    B. recognize the comers

    C. stop the visitors

    D. welcome the children

    2.The fourth paragraph mainly tells us ______ .

    A. where the new camera is placed

    B. what the new camera looks like

    C. when the new camera is used

    D. how the new camera works

    3.We can learn from the passage that Damien ______ .

    A. found the warning was a mistake

    B. was too busy to notice the warning

    C. felt shocked to see a stranger in his flat

    D. caught the intruder by himself that day

    4. The writer proves(证明) the new camera works well by ______ .

    A. giving an example B. making a survey

    C. doing an experiment D. having a speech

    My school stood in a big square playground in southeastern South Dakota. One teacher taught all grades, first through eighth. Most grades had only two or three students.

    Our school day started with the flag pledge(宣誓). Then the teacher called one grade at a time to the recitation bench beside her desk. She’d check our work, explain the new lesson, and dismiss us to go back to our own desks and do our new work, all in less than ten minutes per grade.

    At noon we ate lunches we had brought. Our lunches consisted of homemade sandwiches and if we were lucky, dessert. My favorite dessert was a fresh pear, and a piece of Mom’s delicious sour cream chocolate cake.

    The annual Christmas program was the most exciting part of the year. We hurried through our lessons during December to allow time to practise poems, songs, and plays.

    A few days before the performance, the school board members borrowed equipment from the town and set up a stage across one side of the classroom. We hung bed sheets for curtains.

    On the evening of the performance, petrol lanterns hanging along the walls cast a warm, though not very bright, light over the gathering crowd. We could hardly contain our excitement as we looked from behind the curtains to wave at our parents.

    On a spring Sunday in a new term, just before the last day of the school term, everyone in the neighborhood gathered for a picnic. Our moms set fried chicken, bowls of salads, and desserts on the teacher’s desk and the library table. After the dinner, we played games. One of the school board members brought big buckets of ice cream in the afternoon to top off the picnic. How we looked forward to that treat!

    I was just nineteen years old when I started my first teaching position in a country school with thirteen students. I felt excited, nervous and happy as I prepared my lunch bucket the first morning of the term. I can’t remember what kind of sandwiches I packed, but I do remember I put in a fresh pear and a piece of chocolate cake for dessert!

    1.According to the text, the school the author once attended ________.

    A. had a small number of students

    B. had no celebrations

    C. had advanced teaching equipment

    D. had a small playground

    2.What can we infer from the description of the picnic?

    A. The teacher performed many jobs.

    B. The students liked hanging lanterns.

    C. The local people supported the school.

    D. School board members were not expected to attend it.

    3.Why does the author mention a pear and a piece of chocolate cake in the last paragraph?

    A. These were easy items to pack in a lunch bucket.

    B. Fruits and cakes were always good choices for dessert.

    C. They reminded her of her golden days as a student.

    D. They were the only desert she ate with her lunch or dinner.

    4.It can be concluded from the text that the author ________.

    A. was fond of cooking

    B. was very independent

    C. earned little from her job

    D. was happy though life was hard sometimes

    Bad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. But now that information is being spread and monitored in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. By tracking people’s e-mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.

    “The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media,” says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. “They want your eyeballs and don’t care how you’re feeling. But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react. You don’t want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.”

    Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication—e-mails, Web posts and reviews, face-to-face conversations—found that it tended to be more positive than negative, but that didn’t necessarily mean people preferred positive news. Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things? To test for that possibility, Dr. Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times’ website. He and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most e-mailed” list for six months. One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles. He found that science amazed Times’ readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others.

    Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. They needed to be aroused (激发) one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad. The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr. Berger explains in his new book, “Contagious: Why Things Catch On.”

    1.What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to?

    A. Private e-mails.

    B. Research papers.

    C. News reports.

    D. Daily conversations.

    2.What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer?

    A. They’re socially inactive.

    B. They’re good at telling stories.

    C. They’re careful with their words.

    D. They’re inconsiderate of others.

    3.Which tended to be the most e-mailed according to Dr. Berger’s research?

    A. Science articles.

    B. Sports news.

    C. Personal accounts.

    D. Financial reviews.

    4.What can be a suitable title for the text?

    A. Sad Stories Travel Far and Wide

    B. Online News Attracts More People

    C. Reading Habits Change with the Times

    D. Good News Beats Bad on Social Networks

    Tom goes everywhere with Catherine Green, a 54-year-old secretary. He moves around her office at work and goes shopping with her. "Most people don't seem to mind Tom," says Catherine, who thinks he is wonderful. "He's my fourth child," she says. She may think of him and treat him that way as her son, buying his food, paying his health bills and his taxes, but in fact Tom is a dog.

    Catherine and Tom live in Sweden, a country where everyone is expected to lead an orderly life according to rules laid down by the government, which also provides a high level of care for its people. This level of care costs money.

    People in Sweden pay taxes on everything, so aren't surprised to find that owning a dog means yet more taxes. Some people are paying as much as 500 Swedish kronor in taxes a year for the right to keep their dog, money that is spent by the government on dog hospitals and sometimes medical treatment for a dog that falls ill. However, most such treatment is expensive, so owners often decide to offer health and even life premium for their dog.

    In Sweden dog owners must pay for any damage their dog does. A Swedish Kennel Club official explains what this means: if your dog runs out on the road and gets hit by a passing car you, as the owner, have to pay for any damage done to the car, even if your dog has been killed in the accident.

    1.The money paid as dog taxes is used to ________.

    A. provide medical care for dogs

    B. pay for damage done by dogs

    C. keep a high level of care for the people

    D. buy insurance for dog owners

    2.The underlined world "premium" possibly means ________.

    A. entertainment expenseB. medical check

    C. payment for risksD. protection fee

    3.If a dog causes a car accident and gets killed, who should pay for the damage done to the car?

    A. The government.

    B. The owner of the car.

    C. The insurance company.

    D. The owner of the dog.

    4.From the text it can be inferred that in Sweden ________.

    A. people care much about dogs

    B. keeping dogs means asking for trouble

    C. many car accidents are caused by dogs

    D. dogs are welcome in public places
