Whether you’re telling someone how to get your house or guiding a stranger to a local museum, you should know how to give good directions.

1. Explain the route based on where the person is coming from. Before you start giving directions, you need to ask the person where exactly they’re coming from. 【1】

2. Give the simplest route. While it may seem attractive to give directions to your favorite shortcut, this could wind up doing more harm than good. Instead, give the simplest directions that are least likely to confuse the person.【2】

3. Share the safest route. If there are several routes and some of them are especially dangerous, give the safest route. 【3】 Whether it’s narrow road or a high crime neighborhood, take threats to the person’s safety into consideration.

4. 【4】 Otherwise, you may give incorrect directions that could get the person lost. Give directions for routes that you’ve taken many times, rather than trying to describe a shortcut or another route you don’t know as well.

5. Warn the person about confusing parts of the route. If there is a confusing part of the route you’re providing, tell the person about it very carefully. 【5】 Some points of confusion could include roads with little notice and turns that are very slight.

A.Create a map of the route and share it.

B.Don’t suggest routes you haven’t taken.

C.Besides, tell them when to expert the confusing part.

D.As your directions will depend on which way they are headed.

E.Don’t use words, phrases or names which only the locals know.

F.This way, you’ll decrease: the chance of the person’s getting last.

G.As the person you’re advising won’t know the dangers they’ll be driving through.

Amazon exposed some customers’ names and emails due to a “【1】(technique) error,” according to emails the company sent to 【2】(affect) customers. Several people shared screenshots of the emails online Wednesday morning. Beta News first reported the incident.

In a statement, Amazon said, “We 【3】(fix) the issue and informed customers who may have been impacted.”

Despite the exposure, Amazon told the affected customers they did not need 【4】(change) their passwords. But even with just their names and emails exposed, people could attempt to reset their 【5】(account) or target their emails for 【6】(follow) attacks.

Amazon did not answer questions about how many customers were affected【7】 the error nor about how long information was exposed. Amazon’s website and systems were not damaged, 【8】 Amazon spokesperson told CNBC. The company did not say where the customer information was visible.

In a customer forum, people who received the cryptic message from Amazon were 【9】(surprise) that the company did not recommend they reset their passwords and that the link to Amazon’s website in the email signature did not contain a secure link, 【10】 would contain “https” rather than “http.”

5G stands for fifth generation, meaning the next step in the progression of technology to replace the current 4G system. 4G was the replacement for 3G, which came after 2G, and so on. Earlier "G" systems were designed to improve mobile communication operations. Each new technology brought major improvements in speed and greatly increased network capacity（容量）. The new 5G system promises more of the same. However, technology experts say there is a major way that 5G is different than the earlier systems. It will move well beyond mobile network technology to affect many more devices and industries than other "G" versions.

Wireless industry groups say 5G will help fuel future "smart cities" by connecting sensor（传感器） networks. 5G is also expected to connect self-driving cars and support new technologies involving virtual reality. Higher 5G speeds could also permit doctors to commonly perform remote medical operations. Factories and businesses could use 5G technology to increase automation and improve the collection of information.

Every coin has two sides. Much of the data could contain private details about individuals, businesses or government organizations. The increased data flow would give internet attackers a lot more possibilities to steal and misuse data. In addition, the wider use of a 5G wireless network means any breakdown of the system would have more widespread and severe results. Such difficulties could affect public safety as well as world economic activity.

【1】What is the significant difference between 5G and the early “G” systems?

A.It will affect more devices and industries.

B.It will change the way people communicate.

C.It will reform the pattern of information system.

D.It will improve internet speed and network capacity.

【2】What can we learn about "smart cities" from the passage?

A.Smart city is a city full of intelligent people.

B.Now many smart cities have been built all over the world.

C.As long as there is a wireless network, you can build a smart city.

D.The development of 5G accelerates the construction of smart cities.

【3】Why can 5G allow doctors to perform long-range medical operations?

A.Because of the low cost of 5G.

B.Because of the wide range of 5G.

C.Because of the high speed of 5G.

D.Because of the ability of 5G to collect information.

【4】What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A.Possible risks of 5G technology.

B.The advantages of 5G technology.

C.The influence of 5G technology on the world.

D.The importance of information security in the 5G era.

Facebook has a new idea to keep users 【1】 (engage) in its social network. It connects them with strangers. The firm is testing a feature in the United States 【2】 shows interests, employment history and public groups that you share in common with random users.

When someone you don’t know comments on a public post, Facebook will show information on 【3】 you live in the same city or want to go to the same school.

Facebook hopes the feature, which is being tested currently by 【4】 number of users, will spark conversations with people you might otherwise have never met. Facebook emphasizes that the tool, which 【5】 (know) as Things in Common, will only use data that is already available 【6】 (public) on your profile.

Above the 【7】 (name) of people who have left comments, Facebook will highlight things you have in common with each user. Next 【8】 one name a label might read “You both went to the University of Manchester” or “You were both born in Bristol”. The feature is part of Facebook’s efforts 【9】 (make) public discussions on its network more 【10】 (meaning).

So why did the US luge team win a medal at the Pyeongchang Olympics? Most credit must go to Chris Mazdzer himself. The American said his win was a product of 16 years of preparation and intense training. But another reason for Mazdzer’s success could have been the 3-D printing technology, which his team used to make its equipment.

The term 3-D is short for three dimensional, meaning an object with length, width and height. In 3-D printing, 3-D models are first created as files, or documents, on a computer. The printer then uses a substance (物质) like plastic or metal to create physical objects. The process involves making one layer of material at a time until the objects reach full form.

The US luge team worked with an American company called Stratasys on the designing and manufacturing process for the sleds. First, the company made a scan, or image, of the body of every member of the luge team. Then, 3-D printing technology was used to create tools for making molds (模子) in the shape of Olympians on top of a sled. The process of designing and tooling sled parts is highly complex and can take several weeks. Officials from the US luge team say 3-D printing can greatly simplify the process, speeding up the production of parts.

Jon Owen, says the use of 3-D printing has made the team more competitive. It helps the team “continuously adjust designs and run the sleds on the track much faster than traditional processes,” he said. He added that the technology also provides a way to perfectly fit each rider to the sled, while cutting production time and costs.

【1】According to the author, what mainly contributed to Mazdzer’s winning the medal?

A.His own great efforts.B.His using a new technique.

C.The cooperation with his luge team.D.The US Olympic luge team’s encouragement.

【2】To make the sleds for the team, what did the company have to do?

A.To create tools for making sled parts.

B.To take some photos of the members first.

【3】From the last paragraph we learn that 3-D printing most probably __________.

A.saves plenty of competitors’ training time

B.helps competitors achieve their full potential

C.requires great skills of riders to fit the track

D.allows riders to change their sleds continuously
