My grandpa worked as a carpenter, who has devoted all his energy for carpentry for almost sixty years. Several years before, he began to make wooden models of farm tools. On National Day when I returned back and visited him with my parents, he showed me that he had created. He hopes he could expose people to the traditionally way of farming. Now every day, he prepares raw material in the yard, measures them, and polishes them. I’ve also picked up carpentry as hobby of mine. Now I am able to make a model by me. And I am determined to make it know to more.

More than a billion people around the world have smart phones, almost all of which come with some kind of navigation app such as Apple Maps or Amap. This raises the age-old question we meet with any technology: What abilities is our brain losing to these apps? But also, importantly: What abilities are we gaining?
Talking with people who are good at finding their way around or good at using paper maps, I often hear a lot of annoyance with digital maps. North/south direction gets messed up, and you can see only a small section at a time. I can really understand that it may be quite disturbing for the already skilled to be limited to a small phone screen.
But consider what digital navigation aids have meant for someone like me. Although being a frequent traveler, I'm so terrible at finding my way that I still use Apple Maps almost every day in the small town where I have lived for many years.
In many developed nations, street names and house numbers can be meaningful, and instructions such as go north for three blocks and──then west’’ make sense to those familiar with these rules. In Istanbul, however, where I grew up, none of those hold true. For one thing, the locals seldom use street names. Besides, the city is full of winding and ancient alleys(小巷) that cross with newer avenues at many angles. In such places, you’d better turn to the locals. In the countryside, however, there is often nobody outside to ask. In fact, along came Apple Maps, like a fairy grandmother whispering directions in my ear. Since then, I travel with a lot more confidence, and my world has opened up.
Which brings me back to my original question: While we often lose some skills after depending on new technology, this new equipment may also allow us to gain new abilities. Maybe when technology closes a door, we should also look for the doors it opens.
1.Why do people who are skilled at reading paper maps feel upset?
A.They are interested in reading paper maps,
B.They don’t know how to use navigation, apps.
C.They are limited to a single smart phone app.
D.They are confused by digital maps’ direction.
2.According to the text, which is the best way to find the destination in Istanbul?
A.Asking local people the way.
B.Following the navigation app.
C.Getting familiar with the city rules.
D.Looking for street names and house numbers.
3.What’s the author’s attitude towards the navigation apps?
A.Cautious B.Ambiguous
C.Favorable D.Critical
4.What could be the best title of the passage?
A.Benefits of Navigation Apps
B.Disadvantages of Navigation Apps
C.My World Opens Up by New Technology
D.Have Navigation Apps Worsened Our Brain?
Sea urchins(海胆) are small creatures , but what’s really remarkable about them is that they eat anything that happens to float by. They have really sharp teeth they use to rid rocks of algae(海藻)which makes them pretty valuable especially in places like Hawaii where algae are threatening the coral reefs. In the summer of 2019, 500,000 of them were used to deal with the algae.
The problem started when non-native algae were introduced to the ecosystem of Kaneohe Bay in the 1970s. Because they had no enemies, they ended up taking over the bay, according to the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). The algae blocked sunlight from reaching the coral, which in turn affected the local fish because they changed the chemistry of the water.
That’s when the NMFS turned to sea urchins that loved to devour the algae. But they had to grow to the size of a cherry tomato before they could be used. Since 2011, sea urchins have been grown and used to handle the algae problem. Some of the funds are available due to an unfortunate incident. In 2005, a ship was grounded on a shallow reef near Kaneohe Bay. When the ship was removed, 20 acres of reefs have been damaged. When there is environmental damage, the NMFS and other agencies receive funds from the wrongdoers and the funds are used to restore the damage. Some funds were spent on other projects like the sea urchins. The state of Hawaii began to grow the sea urchins. When they are large enough, divers carefully place them on the reef.
Algae isn’t the only thing that threatens the coral reefs. Climate change and the effects of fishing and tourism in the area also endanger the coral reefs. But turning to sea urchins instead of man-made solutions seems like the best way to go.
1.Why are sea urchins regarded as outstanding creatures?
A.They are tiny but have teeth.
B.They can keep the ocean clean.
C.They can remove harmful algae.
D.They grow on coral reefs with algae.
2.What happened after non-native algae arrived at Kaneohe Bay?
A.They helped the coral reefs to survive.
B.They spread to every corner of the bay.
C.They didn't fit in with the new surroundings.
D.They fought against other species to get food.
3.Which word can replace the underlined word “devour” in paragraph 3?
A.Eat B.Block
C.Attack D.Attract
4.What does the author suggest doing to save coral reefs?
A.Banning fishing and tourism. B.Relying on humans’ solutions.
C.Employing divers to handle algae. D.Letting nature take care of nature.
