If

you

want to learn why everything is usually cheaper, and what items are the best

even before shoppers know themselves.

Everyone buys unnecessary things

99

cents

everyone falls for this trap,

things you don't need.”

It was just a

normal day for Ruth Miller, a 63-year-old woman until everything went

horribly wrong

.

She

was walking to her car after shopping when the unthinkable

happened.

Right as

she was unlocking her car, a man quickly came up behind her and tried to

wrestle her purse

away. She was in shock. Luckily she remembered she had her Safe

Personal

Alarm

（

SPA

）

on her purse, and

since she was too scared to scream for help, she

quickly reached

for the alarm and pulled the pi n

（保险

栓）

.Immediatel y her SPA started just

screaming.

The man didn't know what to do! He froze for a second, and

then ran away

like a bat

out of hell!

SPA

is

a

safety

device

capable

of

creating

a

125db

sound

that

attracts

attention

and

scares

away

potential attackers. To compare, it's the same volume as a military jet during

takeoff.

Paul

Davidson, the inventor of SPA, knows all too well the type of situation that Ruth found herself in.

But that's not the only type of situation that SPA helps protect against. Parents can give it to their kids as an

extra means of protection. Teenagers can use it so they can feel safe walking home Women can know it's

there when they have to use the parking lot at night. “My mother, who is 76 years old, carries it around in case

she falls and needs to ask people for help.1 only wish I'd have thought of it earlier,

The police have been recommending SPA since it first hit the market. In fact, since its launch, SPA has

been in a state, shifting between in stock to sold out nearly every other week, and it's also got tons of loyal

followers worldwide.

4.

What does the underlined part

“

the unthinkable

A. An attempted robbery. B. A wrestling match.

She fought violently.

B.

She froze in great

fear.

C.

She cried

D.

She sounded

her safety device.

6.

Why does

Paul mention his mother?

A.

To imply

the elderly need more care.

B.

To suggest

he cares about his mother.

C.

To show

SPA can be widely used.

D.

To

make an advertisement for SPA.

7.

What can be learned from the text?

A. SPA is well received in the market.

B.

People hesitate to pay for security.

C.

SPA was sold out in the first two weeks.

C

Like clockwork, nearly every fourth February includes one extra day. February 29th, otherwise known

as Leap Day, isn't exactly a holiday. Instead, it's there to keep your calendar consistent with the earth's

rotation

（旋转）

< br>around the sun.

According to History, com, Roman emperor

Julius Caesar is the “father” of Leap Year. Until he came

along, people used a 355-day calendar, which was 10. 25 days shorter than the solar year. Roman officials

were supposed add an extra month every now and then to keep the seasons exactly where they should be. But

that didn't work out all that well. When special occasions started shifting into different seasons around 45

BCE, Caesar consulted with astronomers and decreed

（

下令

) that the empire should use a 12-month, 365- day

calendar, which he named after himself, Caesar's Julian calendar included a Leap Day every four years.

Though Leap Day keeps your calendar in line with the earth's rotation around the sun, it causes a

different kind of problem for leapsters. When should these February 29th babies celebrate their birthdays

during the other three-quarters of their lives? Some party on February 28th, while others prefer a two-day

celebration that spans the last day of February and the first day of March.

Leap Day can

be

a

nuisance in the legal system. In 2006, a court in Massachusetts was

deciding whether

criminal John Melo could be released a day early since his 10-year

sentence included

a Leap Day. In the case,

the judge decided that since the man

was sentenced to

prison for years, not days. Leap Day didn't make a bit

of difference.

Though

a

few

timekeepers

have

pushed

for

calendars

that

don't

include

Leap

Day,

almost

all

astronomers and societies agree that Leap Day is the best method to keep the

calendar on

track.

8.

Why

was

Leap Day created?

A.

To

celebrate special occasions.

B. To

honor Emperor Julius Caesar.

C.

To

keep pace with the solar year.

D.

To

keep track of all the seasons.

9.

What is the problem with the birthday celebration of February 29th babies?

A. It is sometimes delayed.

B. It lasts at least two days.

C.

It has to be held every other year.

D. It may take place on different dates.

10.

What does the underlined word “nuisance” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A. Joke.

A. Critical.

B. Topic.

B. Supportive.

C. Trouble.

C. Doubtful.

D

D. Mistake.

D. Cautious.

11. what is the attitude of most astronomers towards Leap Day?

Scientists have developed a new type of smart bandage

（绷带）

that can signal the type of bacterial

（细

菌的［

infection it's protecting, just like a traffic light, as well as release the right type of drugs on demand.

The traffic light system works just like this

：

Green means no bacteria or a low concentration of bacteria,

yellow means drug-sensitive

（

DS

）

bacteria responsive to standard antibiotics

（

(

抗生素）

and causes antibiotic

release, and red means drug-resistant

（

DR

）

bacteria that need extra help to be wiped out.

In testing the bandage on mice, the research team was

able to successfully treat both DS and DR

infections using the new method. However, the common methods of sensing resistance are limited by time,

the

requirement for

professional personnel,

and expensive instruments. Moreover, the abuse of

antibiotics

causes the accelerated process of bacterial resistance.

It's easy to see

how

a

simple bandage and light could

overcome some of these limitations. Treatment

doesn't have to wait for a doctor to make a

diagnosis, and the bandage can get the

right sort of drugs applied

at the earliest opportunity. What's

more, the person wearing

the bandage gets real-time feedback on what's

happening with the infection,

if

there's

an infection at all. The researchers say it offers numerous benefits

over existing

treatments that make use of light, including photodynamic therapy or PDT.

We've been

seeing quite a few upgrades to the traditional bandage in recent years,

thanks to

advances

in science

—

like the nanofibre mesh that attracts bacteria and draws

some of it out,

speeding up the healing

process. Then there's the novel bandage

for treating

burns, which stops bacteria from multiplying and

lowers the risk of infection.

The more

work that

a

bandage can do while it's protecting a wound, the better.

Efforts to

improve

bandages continue and now we've got a bandage that not only releases antibiotics, but also tells the patient

exactly what's going on too.

12.

What is the smart bandage mainly designed to do?

A.

Avoid the use of antibiotics.

B.

Clear out harmful bacteria.

C. Detect bacterial infections.

D. Increase treatment options.

13.

What is the advantage of the smart bandage?

A. It saves much time and cost.

B. It removes the risk of infection.

C. It prevents the bacterial resistance.

D. It improves doctor-patient relationship.

14.

What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?

A.

Traditional bandages are out of use now.

B.

More smart bandages will be developed.

C.

Progress in science calls for more research.

D. People are urged to study medical science.

15.

What does the text focus on?

A.

A successful test on mice.

B.

A colour-changing bandage.

C.

Sensing drug-resistant bacteria.

D. Preventing abuse of antibiotics.

Handwriting

is quickly becoming a dying art. Few businesses can run nowadays

without computers.

16

Researchers from Princeton University conducted a study to

demonstrate the

differences between students

who wrote out their notes and those who

typed notes on a

lecture. 17 Participants were tested on the material

30 minutes after

the lecture and

again a week later. And handwriting emerged as the champion.

18

The typers had a significant edge when it came to note-taking efficiency. The

typers could

copy down

significantly

many

more

words

than

the

writers,

sometimes

even

transcribing

the

contents

of

the

lecture

word-for-word.

But

while more of the lecture's content was retained

（保留）

on paper when typing, it

wasn't

necessarily

retained in participants

,

heads. 19 On the test 30 minutes after the

lecture,

typers and writers did more or less

equally well on questions about the basic facts

of

the lecture, but typers fell behind when it came to more

conceptual questions.

As for the later quiz, the results were similar. Students with handwritten notes were

able

to remember

and still understand the concepts of the lecture after a week had passed. These participants were also more

open to understanding new ideas. 20

A. The tests that the participants took proved this.

B. The efficiency of handwriting might best benefit you.

C. That's not to say that typing doesn't have its benefits.

D. In this study, the laptops were only used to take notes.

E. Generally speaking, typing also has its own disadvantages.

F. But what are we losing as handwriting loses its significance in society?

G. Clearly, writing by hand is one of the things that can make you smarter.
