This morning when I got into the taxi I have booked,I noticed it was a same gentleman that had
taken me back home last week. I still remembered that we'd talked about. He said he thought somebody
would care,so he felt surprised and was happily to know I still remembered him. He said he began to swim to lose weight,but he did it every morning before start work. I told him that swimming was one of the greatest way to keep us healthy and it also had positive effeets on our brains,too. He said he knew it was a good way avoiding depression and that he would keep on doing it all the time.
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
I'm a Muslim. Once I was eating at a restaurant,where there was a father 1.(seat)next to my desk with his two girls. I 2.(overhear)their conversation. The girls were 3.(constant)asking about everything and anything. And I was fascinated by their 4.(curious).
One of the girls looked at me and asked,"Daddy,why is she wearing that way?"Her dad responded 5. something that made my heart so warm. He said,"There are different religions,cultures and languages. We have to respect and learn about them. "He then went on 6.(share)his personal experience of living abroad and learning to speak Spanish.
This reminded me of a Harvard study that I had read about. Children who 7.(expose)to racism tend to accept and embrace 8.as young as age 3,and in just a matter of days. Only at that time did I realize the importance of the way we teach children about love,acceptance,understanding and respect. It should start from an early age. The 9.(early),the better. Kids imitate their parents' views and behaviour. It is you 10.are their role model.
During the winter vacation,I was involved in an image-processing project. My task was to extract(提取)the shape of every cell from a(n)__ of microscope images. It seemed quite straightforward at first,but it turned out to be __.
Since I did not have any experience in image processing,I studied some basic ___on my own and started to use a very popular function library(函数库)called OpenCV. As the time was __,I just learnt to apply techniques without going into the mathematical rationale(原理)。As a result,I didn't complete the task in an efficient way and____lots of time.
Through this project,I got a good __ of the importance of studying the basic knowledge. I will probably ___to spend more time studying the theory before I ___another project. By learning their underlying mechanisms(机制),I will be able to ___the tools to suit my own needs. In this way,1 may achieve___ results.
Another challenge I met was about the brightness setting. When I sketched(勾勒)the __ of the cell by the computer,I first set the brightness value to 50,___that the computer could delete the dark places and extract the shape of the cell___. But it turned out that the standard didn't fit for every image. So 1____the brightness value to 30,but that didn't __ either. It was very hard to find a value that worked for all ____
From this,I began to appreciate human eyes. Our eyes ___the amount of light entering them automatically through a feedback system to achieve the best image representation,but computers are not that __. There is still so much that we don't know about the human body.
In summary,I think it is good for students to be involved in real projects___ they can begin to learn about various fundamental ___and get themselves ready for the future.

X-rays are high energy waves that are invisible. 1.For example,doctors can see inside the human body and security guards at airports can see inside your handbag. In 1895,the German scientist,Wilhelm Rontgen,discovered X-rays by accident. He called them X-rays because he hadn't seen such a form of radiation before. 2.Wilhelm took the first X-ray picture of the bones of his wife's hand after the discovery. In 1901,he received the first Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery.
X-rays are valuable in medicine because then can see through certain parts of the body. Doctors can take pictures to see which bones are broken or to find out which teeth have holes. The X-rays are strong enough to pass through the skin and muscles,but they cannot pass through hard objects like bones. In the picture,hard objects like bones are white area3.
There are some situations in which X-rays cannot give you a clear picture. Some organs,for example,may prevent X-rays from showing a broken bone. For this reason,computed tomography(CT)was invented. A person is put inside a scanner,which is a large tube-shaped machine. 4. A computer puts together all of these images,which can show doctors more than a normal X-ray can.
5.Patients must wear protective clothing for the parts of their body that are not X-rayed. Doc- tors and helpers who work with X-ray machines must wear lead aprons and stand behind screens.
A.Then the person is X-rayed from all sides.
B.Objects that X-rays go through appear dark.
C.In mathematics,X means something unknown.
D.An X-ray machine is used to take these pictures.
E.X-rays,however,can also do harm to your body.
F.However,they can be an essential tool for finding out what's wrong with you.
G.They are useful because they can pass through many things that normal light cannot.
Over a cup of iced tea at the midtown Radiance Tea House&Books,whose noise is not much louder than a coffee machine's,Gregory Scott Farber,a non-practicing lawyer who works as a research analyst, described SoundPrint he created as"Yelp for noise". SoundPrint allows users to search for and grade restaurants and bars according to their sound level. "laces are getting louder,"Farber said. "People tell me thirty or forty years ago you could go somewhere to eat and expect to have a conversation. "
Farber suffers from permanent hearing loss,caused by meningitis(脑脊膜炎)which he contracted when he was a baby. Like so many great inventions,Farber's invention arose from a desire to find love-or,at least,a place to have a date. "When I was dating,I put a lot of efforts into trying to pick quiet spots,"he said. "I'd google' quiet restaurants'. Then I would show up,but it would be noisy. " His hearing aid helped,but not enough. "Out of curiosity,I started taking decibel(分贝)measurements. "He sent a list of his favorite quiet places to friends in the hearing-loss community,and soon found many requests from his normal-hearing friends.
SoundPrint includes a sound-level meter,so diners and drinkers can take measurements using their smartphones,and upload data to the database. Farber said that the app brings no profit. SoundPrint covers about two thousand cities,though only fifteen have a significant number of users. Farber recently analyzed the data from 2,376 Manhattan restaurants and bars,and the findings are not good for ears. More than 70%of the former and 90%of the latter were rated as"loud"-defined as between 76 and 80 decibels,or as noisy as an air-conditioner.
1.What does Gregory Scott Farber do for a living?
A.He sells hearing aids.
B.He develops computer programs.
C.He defends people in a court of law.
D.He makes a detailed analysis of data.
2.Why did Farber create SoundPrint?
A.Because he wanted to earn more money.
B.Because he could hear nothing without a hearing aid.
C.Because he wanted to help his friends who suffer hearing loss.
D.Because he suffered hearing loss and wanted to find a quiet place for dating.
3.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.SoundPrint can be downloaded to user's phones.
B.SoundPrint can detect noise from air-conditioner.
C.SoundPrint is widely used in 2,000 American cities.
D.SoundPrints can analyze data from restaurants and bars
4.The data collected by SoundPrint showed that ______in Manhattan.
A.restaurants are noisier than bars
B.a large majority of bars are noisy
