How to Have a Good Weekend People are pretty stressed out. 1.. Below are some relaxation tips and a few hints on how to have a good weekend. 2.. The rules for phone use over the weekend can be helpful. Maybe check your phone for texts or emails only once an hour, instead of all the time. Or turn off push notifications(通知) on your phone when you’re not working. If you want to be really daring, try leaving your phone at home during certain weekend activities, or even leaving it on airplane mode during brunch or a hang with friends. Try treating your weekend like a mini-vacation. 3.. People who do this stay in bed a little longer, or hug their special someone a little more, or spend a little more time eating and less time on housework and job responsibilities. The weekend-as-vacation mindset helps you be more connected to the present moment. Beat the “Sunday fears” by planning something fun. A lot of us fall into the trap of saving weekend work we have to complete for Sunday evening, which means the last part of our weekends can be pretty stressful and feel a lot like, well, Monday. To avoid those “Sunday fears,” maybe get those few hours of work done at some other point during the weekend, so that the last thing you do during your weekend can be something actually fun. 4.. Focus on making new memories, rather than just discussing the workweek again. We should stop viewing it as opportunities to talk about old days, but instead as opportunities to make new memories and learn things about the people you care about that you didn’t know before. Ask questions that go beyond “how was your week?” Maybe ask your friends to tell you a memory of their first date, 5., or what superhero they’d be and why. Anything is Ok but work. A.Use your phone as you like B.This actually changes our behaviors C.Take some time away from your phone D.or you quitted the job last week and why E.But they don’t know how to relax themselves F.It will make the start of the next week much better G.or the story of their favorite song and why they love it
With the arrival of the ABC(AI, big data, and cloud computing) era, AI is seemingly leading innovation(创新) trends. It’s believed that with the increasing application of deep learning algorithms(计算程序), AI will play a growing role in assisting human beings to complete various tasks in a range of fields. Domestic internet giant Baidu recently announced that its public welfare Baidu Artificial Intelligence People Searching program successfully reunited more than 10, 000 lost people with their families over the past three years, which is a good example of how technology benefits people. Baidu launched this project using its artificial intelligence(AI) face-recognition technology. Zhu Guang, senior vice president of Baidu, said, “Baidu has opened up a lot of data processing capabilities in such aspects as voice, picture, video, and natural language processing, which are all beneficial.” And in cooperation with the Ministry of Civil Affairs(民政部) and nongovernmental organizations, Baidu’s system matches the photographs provided by seekers with those in the population database to achieve highly efficient search results. After going through 200 million face-training sample photos, Baidu’s AI-based face-recognition technology has achieved a recognition accuracy rate of as high as 99.7 percent. It also supports across-age image comparisons, thus helping parents find their lost children after several years on the basis of their childhood photos. Many parents whose children were lost at a young age have only their childhood photographs, making the search difficult as features change once a child grows up. But many such lost people have been reunited with their families as AI’s face-recognition technology can match an adult with his/her childhood photograph. Baidu said it will further improve its program by deepening cooperation with the Ministry of Civil Affairs to cover all the 2,068 grassroots rescue centers, and expand the program to help more people. This innovative new technology realizes the true goal of technological progress: to make people’s lives better. Applying AI technology for public welfare not only helps people in need, but also improves efficiency and saves costs. It is also a good way for enterprises to demonstrate their corporate social responsibility and contribute to society. It is hoped that more high-tech companies will innovatively apply their technologies to help the public. 1.The first paragraph is mainly to tell us ________. A.the influence of ABC B.the importance of AI technology C.the trend of technology innovation D.the wide use of Al face-recognition 2.What can we learn about AI face-recognition from text? A.Its efficiency of search results is not satisfactory. B.Its accuracy rate greatly needs improving. C.It has trouble finding lost families only using childhood photos. D.It’ll help find more children with the support from government. 3.From the passage, we know technological progress is intended to ________. A.help people accomplish complicated tasks B.prove the companies’ devotion to society C.get people to lead a better life D.offer assistance to the disabled 4.In a newspaper, this text may appear in the section of ________. A.Science B.Health C.People D.Lifestyle
Over the past ten years, stand-up comedy(独角喜剧) clubs have become common on college campuses in America. The culture of stand-up has gotten a lot of media attention. These clubs allow students to explore their abilities and develop interests beyond their field of study. They give funny speeches, tell jokes and make humorous body movements. Their humor entertains and helps ease the stress of crowds of busy, young people. However, club member Ariella Shua says comedy is serious work. She says she has become a better observer of what is going on around her ever since. She does not go anywhere without bringing something on which she can take notes. Students write all their own materials. Then, in weekly club meetings, they try out that material to see what works and what doesn’t. So, it starts as an individual project for themselves and becomes a group effort. Last year, Harry Kuperstein joined the club and discovered it was a natural fit. Noticing the funny qualities of different situations improved his way of looking at the world. Becoming an active member also helped him work on the future skills he will need as a medical doctor. It helps him talk to patients as a doctor and make him a better public speaker. Despite the group meetings, rewrites and rehearsals, some ideas just are not funny. Club member Benjamin Monteagudo said performing in front of a group of students does not mean comedians will not receive strong criticism. Last year, they came up with an idea to keep the audience involved and get their opinions. They called it “Tomato Show”, where if they were performing very badly on stage, they just let the audience throw tomatoes at them to kind of roll with the joke. So, they spent their entire budget on a big box of 300 soft tomatoes. They gave them to the audience, and it was the best show ever. 1.Ariella Shua thinks comedy is serious work because it ________. A.has to be approved by all of the members B.takes much time and is boring sometimes C.requires her to take a lot of notes D.needs personal efforts and teamwork 2.What does the underlined phrase “a natural fit” in Paragraph 3 mean? A.convenient. B.suitable. C.funny. D.attractive. 3.Why is Tomato Show a great success? A.It allowed audience to participate and respond. B.Comedians avoided receiving strong criticism. C.Club members were very skilled in acting. D.The performance itself was very humorous. 4.What is the main idea of the text? A.The rise and fall of stand-up comedy clubs. B.The influence of stand-up comedy clubs. C.The popularity of stand-up comedy clubs. D.The future of stand-up comedy clubs.
Guana was born from a family with 7 children. His parents had two jobs to make ends meet and struggled to pay for basic expenses. Guana was once a cleaner at a school but now he is a superintendent(教育学监), leading the Byron Union School District in rural northern California. Guana always remembers when he wanted to give up, someone would encourage him. One was the cleaner at his school when he was a boy. He called her “Nike” because she wore Nike shoes. Guana wanted those kinds of shoes, too, but his parents could not afford them. Young Gauna liked how Nike made everything so clean. He told her he wanted to be a cleaner, too. Nike said, “it’s good if you want to be a cleaner, but make sure that you go to college and make this as one of your steps there.” Guana also looked up to the principal(校长), the leader at his school.

Today, we drive safer cars on safer roads, but most car accidents are the result of human error. 1. So it’s a good idea to review some basic rules for safe driving. Here are four driving tips that will help bring you and your passengers home unharmed. 1. Practice defensive（保护的）driving. Defensive driving includes keeping a safe distance and not speeding. 2. Accept small delays, such as staying in line behind a slower car instead of suddenly changing lanes. 2. 3. Sometimes, it doesn’t matter how safely you drive. You are driving at the speed limit and obeying all traffic rules but someone else can crash into you. One good rule is to think everyone else on the road is a fool and be prepared for anything unexpected. 4. And it pays to be ready when you do. 3. Don’t follow too closely. Drivers need enough time to react if the car in front makes a sudden turn or stop. It can be too difficult for drivers to judge the proper distances while driving and the exact distance is adjusted by speed, so most experts suggest a “three-second rule”. 4. Be more careful in bad weather. 5. Drive below the speed limit if necessary, keep extra space between you and the car ahead, and be especially careful around curves. If the weather worsens, just find a safe place to wait out the storm. A. Wear your safety belt. B. Watch out for other drivers. C. Chances are that you’ll eventually meet someone foolish. D. The best way to reduce accidents is to practice safe driving behaviors. E. If you’re driving through fog, heavy rain or on icy roads, be extra careful. F. Remaining calm in the face of annoying traffic is another major part of the idea. G. If a driver is tired enough to fall asleep while driving, the results are terrible.
A solar-powered car that can be charged as it runs is being tested in Germany. Munich-based manufacturer(制造商)Sono Motors has built the new type, named Sion, and will likely help the European powerhouse hit its national target of 1 million electric cars on the road by 2020. Sono Motors has solar cells fixed into Sion’s bodywork, with a total of 330 solar cells built into the roof, bonnet and sides of the vehicle. These enable the vehicle’s battery to be charged when sunlight is hitting the solar cells, whether it is on the road, or parked in the sunny spot in a car park. The solar-powered vehicle is set to be launched in Germany in 2019. Sono Motors wants Sion to be universal and allows the car to be charged using solar energy as well as conventional outlets(电源插座), so car owners aren’t left on cloudy days. The firm has made a 2019 date for mass production, which will be undertaken(承担) by a European manufacturer. Some 6,500 people have already placed orders for the electric vehicle. Prices for Sion tend to start from € 16,000 next year. The all-electric vehicle will offer a range of around 250 km before the battery runs out completely and it needs recharging either by solar power or using a wall plug, the company said. Sion was designed originally as an environmentally conscious car, but will also include a number of features designed around comfort to help it compete with other modern vehicles. “We have a seat heater, air conditioning, and a large entertainment system where I can also connect my phone, which means I really have a full vehicle,” Laurin Hahn, co-founder of the company told Reuters. 1.From the third paragraph we can know that . A.the car is popular on the road B.the car has a very large battery C.there are 330 solar cells on the car D.where there is sunlight, Sion can be charged 2.What does the underlined word in Paragraph 4 “launch” mean? A.design B.release C.improve D.recall 3.Why does the car not break down when it is cloudy? A.Because it is made from the rainproof material. B.Because it can be charged by clouds on cloudy days. C.Because it can store a great deal of energy. D.Because it can be charged by conventional power outlets. 4.What are the features of the car? A.Modern, powerful and popular. B.Environmental, comfortable and competitive. C.Environmental, cheap and simple. D.Expensive, fashionable and energy-saving.
Rosie Dutton, a teacher from Relax Kids in Tamworth, UK, used two apples to show her students the often unseen but harmful effects of school bullying (欺凌). She posted the lesson on Facebook, where it's been shared more than 160,000 times. Rosie Dutton explained that during one of her classes she presented the children with two red apples. What the kids didn't know was that before the lesson, she had repeatedly dropped one of the apples on the floor. And yet, on the outside at least, both apples looked perfect. “I picked up the apple I'd dropped on the floor and started to tell the children how I disliked this apple, “ Dutton wrote. “I told them that because I didn't like it, I didn't want them to like it either, so they should call it names too. “ Some of the children looked at her as if she were “crazy” , but the students passed the apple around the circle, calling it names. Continuing the exercise, the teacher then passed the second apple around the circle. This apple, however, was showered with words like “Your skin is beautiful” and “What a beautiful colour you have” . Dutton then showed the students both apples once again, stressing that “there was no change, and both apples still looked the same. “ Finally, Dutton cut both apples open. The apple that the class treated kindly looked fresh inside. But the other apple-the one they'd treated poorly-was bruised(碰伤的)beneath its skin. “I think there was a light bulb moment for the children immediately, “ Dutton said. “When people are bullied, especially children, they feel horrible inside and sometimes don't show or tell others how they are feeling. If we hadn't cut that apple open, we would never have known how much pain we had caused it. “ Dutton explained how important it is to teach children to stand up for one another, and to stop any form of bullying. “Let's create a generation of kind caring children, “ the teacher wrote. “The tongue has no bones, but is strong enough to break a heart. So be careful with your words. “ 1.What had the teacher done to the first apple before the lesson? A.She had introduced it to the kids. B.She had coloured it bright. C.She had made it look perfect. D.She had damaged it purposely. 2.What does the underlined part “call it names” (Para. 3) mean? A.Shout at it. B.Make fun of it. C.Cheer for it. D.Say rude things. 3.What did the teacher tell the kids to do with the second apple? A.Drop it. B.Praise it. C.Ignore it. D.Respect it. 4.What's the purpose of the teacher's using two apples in class? A.To draw the kids’ attention. B.To explain her personal preferences. C.To help the kids understand the results of bullying. D.To make a comparison between them.
Right in front of the Minneapolis Central Library, a row of green bikes sits parked in a special stand. Each bike is designed with the logo “Nice Ride”-the name of the city's bike-sharing programme. Nice Ride bikes are a lot like the library books that people come here to borrow. To rent a bike, you simply use your membership card at a Nice Ride bike station. Members can rent one of 1,200 bikes from 138 stations throughout Minnesota's largest city. People use the Nice Ride bikes to go to work, to go out on business, or just to enjoy the city's many bike paths. The rise of bike-sharing programmes like Nice Ride is encouraging more people than ever to choose biking over driving. Skyrocketing gas prices and concerns about the environment have also gotten people to dust off their bike helmets, pump air into flat tires, and hit the road. Why ride? Not only is biking good exercise, but switching from a car to a bike also cuts down the amount of pollution in the air. Carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas linked to climate change, is one of the many polluting substances that come out of a car's tail pipe. Bike-sharing systems are found around the world in cities like London, Paris, Barcelona, and Melbourne. The largest programme with 70,000 bikes-is in Wuhan, China. To make roads friendlier to non-motorists, the US Department of Transportation has invested more than a billion dollars in cycling and pedestrian projects in recent years.
