Huawei Technologies Co.
displayed its much-anticipated in-house operating
system Harmony
OS on Friday, marking
what some call the Chinese tech giant's biggest
push yet to build its own
software
ecosystem for the era of the internet of
things.
The
move
is
also
expected
to
weaken
the
influence
of
the
United
States
government's
restrictions on
Huawei using Google's Android operating system in
smartphones, analysts said.
Yu Chengdong, CEO of Huawei's consumer business
group, speaking in Dongguan, Guangdong
province, said it is difficult to
deliver a smooth experience across different
devices with the huge
amount of codes
involved in the Android and Linux operating
systems. Linux is an open-source
operating system widely used in
personal computers and other hardware.
adding that it will be
able to support a wide range of application
situations, including smart TVs,
automobiles and wearables.
The internet of things refers to a
network of devices and other objects that can
connect with
each other and exchange
data.
Yu
said
the
US
government's
restrictions
have
accelerated
the
company's
marketing
of
the
system, which now has about 4,000
employees working on it.
The senior executive said Harmony can be used in
its smartphones. But Android is still Huawei's
preferred choice for handsets if the
company is allowed to use it.
when
Android
is
not
available,
Harmony
can
be
applied
immediately
to
smartphones.
Harmony is
ready,
Jia
Mo,
an
analyst
at
market
research
company
Canalys,
said
even
if
Huawei
does
not
use
Harmony in its smartphones in the short
term, its smartwatches and smart TVs can be
equipped
with Harmony to widen its use
and accumulate more experience in building an
ecosystem.
and
allow
it
to
be
compatible
with
Android.
Thus
Harmony
will
be
more
accepted
by
current
Android
users.
This
will
prevent
Huawei
from
repeating
the
fate
of
Microsoft
in
promoting
smartphone
systems,
smartphones years
ago.

I
became
a magician
by accident.
When
I
was
nine years
old,
I
learned
how
to
make
a
coin
disappear.
I'd read The Lord of the Rings and risked coming
into the adult section of the library to
search for a book of spells
(
魔法
)
—
nine being that curious age at which you're old
enough to
work through more than 1, 200
pages of mysterious fantasy literature but young
enough to still
hold out hope that you
might find a book of real, actual magic in the
library. The book I found
instead
taught basic sleight-of-hand
(
戏法
) technique, and I
devoted the next months to practice.
Initially, the magic wasn't any
good. At first it wasn't even magic; it was just a
trick
—
a bad
trick. I spent hours each day in the
bathroom running through the secret moves in front
of the
mirror. I dropped the coin over
and over, a thousand times in a day, and after two
weeks of this
my
mom
got
a
carpet
sample
from
the
store
and
placed
it
under
the
mirror
to
eradicate
the
sound of the coin falling again and
again.
I
had
heard
my
dad
work
through
passages
of
new
music
on
the
piano,
so
I
knew
how
to
practice
—
slowly, deliberately, going for precision rather
than speed. And then I tried the illusion
(
错觉
) in the
mirror and an unbelievable scene took place. It
did not look like a magic trick. It
looked like a miracle. I knew that I
had got what I wanted.
One day I made the performance on the playground.
We had been playing football and were
standing by the backstop in the field
behind the school. A dozen people were watching. I
showed
the coin to everyone. Then it
disappeared. The kids screamed. They yelled,
laughed, scrambled
away. Everyone went
crazy. This was brilliant.

What did the
author enter the adult section of the library to
do?
A. To kill
his time.
B. To find a book
of magic. C
To read The Lord of the
Rings. D. To learn knowledge of
literature.
(

)
What does the underlined word
A. Get rid of.
B. Give out. C. Imitate.
D. Distinguish.
(

What contributed to the
author's success?

moves.

I spend half of my life
with my mother and the other half with my father.
My father lives with a
twenty-pound cat
named Tofu. He calls me his favorite daughter. I
am an only child.
My
father's apartment is quite different from any
other person's living space. Except for my
room,
there
is
no
furniture.
He
doesn't
like
sofas
or
any
comfortable
chairs,
so
he
has
only
a
drawing
table, a desk and his bed. He spends a lot of time
lying on the studio floor. That's how he
thinks, he says. Then he does
yoga
He has a big
kitchen, and on top of the refrigerator is an old
clock he winds every week for
good
luck.
The
last
time
the
clock
stopped,
my
father's
car was
towed(
被警察拖走
)
and
some
other
terrible things happened, so he has become very
superstitious (
迷信的
) . When
he goes
out of town, he hires someone
to feed Tofu and wind the clock so it won't
stop.
The one thing he
has plenty of is house rules. You have to take off
your shoes when you come
in. He won't
allow anyone who wears a baseball cap into his
house. He says only baseball players
should wear baseball caps and only the
catchers should wear them backward. Every time I
go to
stay in his house, he makes up a
new rule.
laugh
tracks!
he
will
say.
But
then
be
can
never
remember
the
numbers,
so
they
change
constantly.
The
rule that he always enforces is the one that
requires me to write a two-page essay anytime I
want something. He didn't speak English
until he was sixteen, and he had a hard time
learning to
write it, so he wants me to
become a good writer at an early age. This
ritual(
仪式
)started when I
asked him if I could have my ears
pierced when I was nine. He said it was very cruel
and told me I
couldn't do it until I
was thirty-five. But l kept asking him, and he
finally said that if I wrote an
essay
and I could persuade him in writing why I wanted
holes in my ears, maybe he would say
okay. I wrote my first essay for my
father, and after one month of writing and
rewriting, he finally
gave me his
permission.

At one time or another
in your life you have probably done origami, even
if it was just making a
paper airplane
or something more complicated like a paper crane.
The chances are that as you
did it, you
reflected on how inventive this traditional art
is. Animals, boxes, flowers, boats: it all
can be created from a single square or
rectangular sheet of paper simply by folding it.
No cutting,
no pasting.
But
did
you
ever
stop
to
think
how
the
same
techniques
might
be
applied
to
engineering?
Equipment that
could be of real practical use? Origami meets the
demand for things that need to
be
small
when
transported
and
large
when
they
arrive,
like
the
everyday
umbrella.
In
fact,
origami-
inspired creations have already flown in space; in
1995, Japanese engineers launched a
satellite with solar panels that folded
like a map.
'It's now
mathematically proven that you can pretty much
fold anything,
J.
Lang,
who
quit
his
engineering
job eight
years
ago
to
fold
things
full
time.
Lang,
an
origami
enthusiast since age
six, advised a advised well-known ear manufacturer
the best way to fold an
airbag
into
a
dashboard.
He
is
currently
working
on
a
space
telescope
lens
that,
if
all
goes

If American
waterways
had ever
been voted
on
the
yearbook,
the
Buffalo
River
could
easily
have
been
named
Ugliest.
It
could
be
hard
to
find
hope
there.
It
took
decades
for
public
perception of the
river to shift. But activist citizens, who
collaborated with industry, government,
and environment groups never gave up on
their polluted river
—
the
Buffalo River gradually went
from being
considered a lost cause to a place worth fighting
for. And by now the
cleaned
—
up
water
is one of Buffalo'S biggest attractions.
By the 1960s, the river
was seen as one of the worst sources of pollution
pouring into the Great
Lakes. The
Buffalo River had caught fire many times. The
surface had an oily layer, and any fish
caught there were not eatable.
The
waterway's
fate
started
shifting
in
the
mid-1960s.
Stanley
Spisiak
was
a
local
Polish
—
American
jeweler by day, but by evening he was the kind of
guy who'd chase down
dumpers(
垃
圾车
)he
spotted
on
the
Buffalo
River.
By
1966
he
found
himself
winning
the
National
Wildlife
Federation's
Buffalo River.
—
the river was still
declared biologically
dead in 1969.
Jill Spisiak Jedlicka
is his great-grandniece. She picks up where he
left off by directing the river's
protector
organization,
Buffalo
Niagara
Waterkeeper.
Professor
Schneekloth
and
seven
friends
founded
the
organization
as
an
all-volunteer
nonprofit
in
1989,
after
organizing
the
first
river
cleanup
that
year.
Today
the
group
employs
27
full-time
workers
and
has
helped
oversee
the
Buffalo River's $$100 million
restoration.
So
far,
the
Buffalo
River's
water
quality
has
restored,
but
it
is
still
an
ongoing
issue,
as
sewage(
污水
)can
overflow into the river after storms. Habitat
restoration continues as well; fish
and
plantings are still being sampled to measure how
well it's gone.

What did the Buffalo
River use to be?
A. A waterway on the yearbook.
B. A river heavily polluted.
C. A great attraction of Buffalo's.
D. A place worth fighting for.
