A
If you’ve applied or are
currently applying to Ivy
(
常春藤
) League schools, you’ve
likely heard the phrase “Ivy
Day”.
What Is Ivy
day?
Ivy Day, or Ivy Admissions Day, is
the day when all Ivy League schools release their
regular admissions
decisions online for
regular decision first-year applicants. The eight
Ivie
—
Brown, Columbia,
Cornell, Dartmouth,
Harvard, Penn,
Princeton, and
Yale
—
typically release their
decisions at the same exact time.
Because all Ivies release their
admissions notifications at the same time through
their respective online portals
(
门户网站
), and
because applicants are eager to get their results
as soon as possible, Ivy Day often means long
loading times and a bigger chance of
page crashes due to the heavy online traffic.
Therefore, if you hit any major
online
traffic or are facing constant page crashes, it
might be better to get off your computer and wait
an hour or two
until the traffic dies
down a bit and you can check your admissions
results without issue.
Top schools that are not in the Ivy
League typically have different decisions release
dates. In 2018, Amherst
released its admissions decisions
earlier than Ivy Day on March 23. Occasionally, a
non-
Ivy school’s decisions
release date overlaps with Ivy Day;
NYU, for instance, released its decisions on Ivy
Day in 2018
When Is Ivy day 2020?
Unfortunately, the exact date for Ivy
Day 2020 has not yet been officially confirmed by
any Ivy League schools.
Below is a
table showing Ivy Days from previous years and
their days, dates, and times:

B.

decisions on this day.
C.
Not all the eight Ivies release
decisions on the same day.
D.

before this day.
2.

day, you can ________.
A.
consult your friends
B.
call the admission officer
C.
keep refreshing the page
constantly

Pearl
Fryar knew he wanted to do something unique with
the farmland he bought in South Carolina. He
wanted
to win the local garden club’s
“Yard of the month” award.
Fryar didn’t have the money to
purchase new trees, so he began by
using bushes and shrubs that a local nursery
had thrown
away
—
plants that looked dead
to most people.
Because he worked days
at a can factory, Fryar often tended his garden at
night. Neighbors got used to seeing
him
stand on the ladder, cutting up his steadily
growing bushes. The shrubs began to take on
different shapes. As the
years went by,
the creations became more delicate. Fryar began
planting trees and using zip ties, coat hangers,
PVC
pipe, and even his wife’s old
stockings to achieve the forms he wanted. “He has
a way of handling plants to do things
he wants them to by training, bending,
wiring, and clipping.” said a neighbor.
Many professional gardeners are amazed
by what Fryar has been able to accomplish. Some
plants which
wouldn’t survive in the
South
thrived under his care.
Fryar’s attention to detail and his
willingness to work hard have made him a local
hero. He was the first African
American
to win “Yard of the Month” from the local garden
chub.
Fryar’s garden
now includes about 400 species of
plants and 150 different plant sculptures. A box
for donations
can be found on the
property, but giving is optional. Fryar welcomes
people who can’t afford to pay. He understands.
He’s been there. “You can
be somebody he tells students who visit the
garden. “Show me anyone who works at
anything with a passion and has
patience, and they’re going to be successful. Be
strong enough not to let the barriers
in life stop you.”

How did Fryar make his
garden unique?
A.
He made
the plants into different shapes.
B.
He bought new trees from a local
nursery.

bushes.

Art
—
no matter
whether you choose to create it yourself or simply
observe and enjoy it
—
is a
relaxing and
inspiring activity for
many people. However, the particular benefits of
artistic expression go much further.
Studies suggest that art therapy
(
疗法
) can be very valuable in
treating issues such as depression and anxiety
disorder. It is a great way to express
your emotions without words, process complex
feelings and find relief.
You don’t
necessarily have to see a therapist in order to
experience some of the benefits
of
artistic expression.
There are many
simple activities you can try from the comfort of
your home such as art journaling, drawing, making
collections, sculpting with clay, etc.
It doesn’t matter what media you choose. The only
thing that matters is that y
ou
feel comfortable using it. Human beings
are naturally creative, and all you need to do to
complete an art therapy
activity
successfully is to be with yourself and your
emotions. Once you free your creativity, your
inner artist will
quickly wake up.
However, working with a licensed
therapist also has its advantage because a
professional can tailor each
activity
to your own needs. If the activities are done in a
group, they are excellent for building healthy
connections
with other people, which
may be very helpful if you are fighting
depression.
Experts agree that art
therapy has many benefits, from promoting your
self-respect, and providing you a safe
outlet to relieve your emotions, to
giving you a sense of control over your life and
helping you to get to know and
understand yourself better. During the
process of art creation, you will be taking
yourself on a journey of
self-discovery
that will help you get rid of emotional
roadblocks, and learn how to communicate with
yourself and
others.

What is art therapy used for?
A.
Learning
drawing skills.
B.
Expressing art with words.
C.
Preventing physical
diseases.
D.
Improving
mental health.
9.
To finish
a successful art therapy, you’d better
________.
A.
have
a gift for art
B.
have a
strong will
C.
be honest
with yourself
D.
hold back
your emotions

Why are
group activities needed when dealing with
depression?
A.
To set an
example.
B.
to promote
communication.

up friendships.

up the inner artist.

Digital devices
are great, but they can also be annoying when it
comes to writing or drawing. Most of the time
you must rely on your fingertips to do
the typing or drawing for you, and what you wanted
to write or draw might not
come out the
way you imagined. A new pen called “Phree”,
created by Israeli company called OTM
Technologies,
aims to change the
dependency that most of us have when it comes to
writing or drawing in digital form.
的
D
The Phree pen looks a lot like a
regular pen in both size and shape. The difference
is that you can use the Phree
pen to
write on any surface (from a table to a wall), and
then transfer that writing directly to your target
device.
Phree uses a sensor called a 3D
laser interferometer
(
激光干涉仪
). The laser beams are
projected (
投影
) on the
surface and they will be reflected back
to the interferometer. By analyzing these beams’
tracks, the laser
interferometer
measures the hand motion while writing.
The pen connects with your phone via a
Bluetooth. Phree can be used to take notes using
various applications
on the target
device. The notes will appear on the target device
whenever you open it. You can even receive, write
and send text messages using the device
display (
显示装置
) and it can
function as an earphone. Phree can also be
used as a regular computer mouse
whenever it is connected to a target device. The
device can also be used as ID
equipment
as it can precisely analyze the way a person
writes.
“We see Phree as a standard
input device in the mobi
le world, in
the same way the mouse became a standard
part of PC use. We also see benefits to
emerging technologies like AR and VR headsets,
interactive TV, and IoT
(Internet of
Things ).” Gilad Lederer, co
-founder of
OTM Technologies said.
12.
What inspires the OTM Technologies to
create Phree?
A.
Drawing
pictures in a better way.
B.
People’s relying too much on
typing.
C.
Making
digital devices less annoying.
D
The inconvenience of data input using
fingertips.
13.
How does
Phree measure the movement of hands?
A.
By sending out laser lines.
B.
By connecting with the
Bluetooth.
C.
By analyzing
the reflection lines of lasers.
D.
By checking the writing ways of certain
person.
14.
What can we
infer about Phree from paragraph 4?
A.
It can identify people.
B.
It can connect to the Internet.
C.
It can be used as a
remote control.
D.
It can
function as a device display.
15.
What will Phree be like in Lederer’s
opinion?
A.
It
will create more new technologies.
B.
It will be widely used in many areas.
C.
It will be the best tool
to write letters.
D.
It will
take the place of the mouse of PC.

It
seems that the issue over bats is one where many
humans are divided.
____16____
Those that know
about the
bats though in more details
are the ones that find it to be a fascinating
creature.
Rabies
(
狂犬病
) is often thought to be
carried by dogs. However, bats carry t too and
more people are infected
by it annually
than by dogs from these creatures. A bat can bite
a human as they sleep and the person may not even
feel it.
____17____
Care
should be taken about how areas where bats were
living are cleaned. In fact it is best to allow a
professional to clean up the waste that
have been left behind.
____18____
It can also
result in dust from old waste
releasing
harmful pieces that get breathed in.
____19____
For example, in
some areas farmers pay for the bat caves to be
mined for fertilizer (
肥料
).
Bats
also keep our environment free
from various insects. Could you imagine how many
of them would be around if there
weren’t thousands of bats out every
single night consuming them? It could quickly be a
nightmare that gets out of
control.
Humans must find a way to be
m balance with bats. Bats make up one
fifth of the world’s mammals. That is
quite something.
