3．The vast majority of fitness trackers count your steps and are worn around the wrist，but now there's a device that's designed to be worn like a necklace and monitors tiny movements to improve your posture．
The Fineck device aims to address neck pain by tracking tiny movement，spotting bad habits and suggesting exercises via an accompanying app．Made from silicone（硅）and titanium（钛），Fineck monitors a wearer's movement，balance，posture and movement thanks to sensors inside．The Mountain View California-based firm says that a high percentage of people suffer from neck pain and associated problems，probably caused by more individuals doing office jobs，which generally involve leaning over computer keyboard．
The device contains sensors，several different types of instruments to monitor movement，plus a monitor to shake．It connects to an iOS app via Bluetooth so that wearers can see their bad habits and play"neck training"games．The app warns of health risks and records a user's activity to build up a customer personal health description．The necklace shakes to give smart advice，such as reminding wearers to sit up straight．The app also allows users to set goals，like many other wearables do．"Fineck is the first wearable device for your neck that tracks your neck activity and warn you when you are in a bad posture for too long．You can also exercise your neck with Fineck's interactive games．"The company writes on Kickstarter．"No matter where you are and what you are doing at office，on the go，or simply just feeling bored，Fineck will bring you enriched exercise experience through motion sensing games and therapies．"
It also claims that it is"the world's first titanium wearable device"．The metal is widely used in fashion stuff that you can wear or carry to match your clothes because it is lightweight，durable and does not tend to cause allergic（过敏的）reactions．It also offers additional features such as shaking to indicate alerts on a user's smartphone，but it is not currently clear whether it can also be used like bands，to count steps，and so on．
The Fineck has a battery life of around seven days and takes one hour to charge．It is available to pre-order via Kickstarter from＄69（￡44）and is due to ship in March next year．

18．As they migrate（迁移），butterflies and moths choose the winds they want to fly with，and they change their body positions if they start floating in the wrong direction．This new finding suggests that insects may employ some of the same methods that birds use for traveling long distances．Scientists have long thought that insects were simply at the mercy of the wind．
    Fascinating as their skills of flight are，migrating behavior has been difficult to study in．insects because many long distant trips happen thousands thousands of feet above ground． Only recently i have scientists developed technologies that can detect such little creatures at such great heights．
To their surpri se，though，the insects weren't passive travelers on the winds．In autumn，for example，most light winds blew from the east，but the insects somehow sought out ones that carried them south and they positioned themselves to navigate directly to their wIntenng homes．
Even in the spring，when most winds flowed northward，the insects didn't always go with the flow．If breezes weren't blowing in the exact direction they wanted to go，the insects changed their body positions to compensate．Many migrating birds do the same thing．
The study also found，butterflies and moths actively flew within the air streams that pushed them along．By adding flight speeds to wind speeds，the scientists calculated that butterflies and moths can travel as fast as 100 kilometers an hour．The findings may have real-world applications．
With climate warming，migrating insects are growing in number．Knowing how and when these pests move could help when farmers decide when to spray their crops．
71．Whatl S the main idea of the text？C
A．Insects migrate with the seasons．
B．Wind helps insects greatly in migrating．
C．Windsurfing insects have real direction．
D．Scientists have trouble in observing insects．
72．Scientists originally thought thatC．
A．insects always waited for their favourable winds
B．insects chose the winds they wanted to ride
C．insects were j ust blown about by the wind
D．insects posi tioned themselves in the winds
73．It is not easy to stuay the migrating behavior of the insects becauseD
A．the little creatures can fly very fast
B．they have no regular migrating courses
C．the wind's direction is hard to f．oresee
D．their flight is long and high above ground
74．We can learn from the text thatA
   A．insects fly in the way birds do
B•insects travel more easily in autumn
C．insects never position themselves when flying low
   D．insects rest a lot when the wind pushes them along
75．According to the passage，the findings canB．
A．increase insects in number    B．instruct farmers when to spray

3．Living near the beach may come with an extra perk （利益）：better health．A new study analyzed information from more than 48million people in England and found that the nearer they lived to the coast，the more likely people were to report good health within the past year．
Living near the coast may be associated with better health because the seaside environment reduces stress，the researchers said．They pointed to another British study that found that people who took trips to the coast experienced more feelings of calmness and relaxation than those who visited urban parks or the countryside．
The difference from living near the coast was relatively small．But a small effect，when applied to an entire population can have a substantial impact on public health，said study researcher Ben Wheeler of Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry in Exeter，England．
However，it's too soon to advise people to hit the beach to improve health，Wheeler said．The study only found an association，not a cause-effect link，and it's possible that other factors could explain the results．For instance，it could be that people who are wealthier，and therefore healthier，are more able to move to desired locations such as the coast，Wheeler said，a phenomenon known as the migrant effect．But the study did find that the association between coastal living and better health was strongest for those living in the poorest areas，which perhaps indicates that wealth cannot explain the results，Wheeler said．
Because the study looked at only England-an island country in which everyone lives within 72miles of the coast-it's not clear whether the findings would apply to other populations．Far from England，a health expert not involved in the study said that while the British research certainly doesn't prove that people's health and the place they live are linked，it's possible that proximity to the seas does something for our bodies．
If future studies confirm the results，the next step would be to find out it is what coastal environments that can benefit health．Wheeler said it may then be possible to bring those benefits to people living in other areas，through virtual environments，for instance．

28．We can conclude from the passage thatB．
A．people are encouraged to move to the coast
B．people living near the sea may be healthier
C．people pay increasingly attention to health
D．people are worried about residential environment
29．According to the researchers，living near the seaC．
A．doesn't nearly affect the British population
B．can cure some difficult diseases in a way
C．can help get over one's stress
D．means freeing from sadness or troubles
30．What Ben Wheeler said meansD．
A．the British public health is decreasing
B．concrete evidence favors life near the sea
C．wealthier people are likely to be healthier
D．exact reasons are proposed for further research
31．What does the underlined word"proximity"in the passage mean？A．
A．being close
B．being distant
C．being similar
D．being opposite．

8．For decades，the San Francisco Bay area has been the heart of the computer technology industry．Many of the biggest technology companies have their headquarters in the area called Silicon Valley．But the area has not always been associated with charity（慈善）．
Now，a new generation of entrepreneurs（企业家）appears to be changing Silicon Valley．One example is Marc Benioff，a donor（捐赠者），who has called on wealthy donors to give more to their communities．He also is the founder of Salesforce．com，a computer services company in San Francisco who has helped build a children's hospital and given millions of dollars to non-profit organizations in the city．

Some of the young donors on this year's top 50 list have started to change in the way people see charity．That is especially the case in the San Francisco area，where giving money and making money appear to be coming together．"I think it's fair to say that charity is now a part of the Silicon Valley identity．"
