When it comes to gifts, it's not
easy to shop for someone when you're not sure what
they're
into.
Thankfully,
Crate
and
Barrel's
sister
store
—
the
modern,

—
CB2
has
a
gift
collection that is just
as beautiful as it is practical. They're known for
their modern designs. We've

list of some of our favorite gift ideas from CB2
so you'll know just what to get.
Galactic Jewelry Box
($$21)
This jewelry box
is not only a place to store your
jewel
s, but it looks like one itself.
“Designed by
UK-based
Seascape Curiosities,
the
jewelry
box
brings
deep
space
to
your room.
Open
storage
space lined with light grey cotton
velvet holds most-
precious
possessions,” CB2 states. The best
part? It's under $$25.

($$29.95)
Designed by the
British fashion designer Matthew Williamson, this
flamingo catchall is a pop of
color in
every room and offers a secure place to store some

an
awesome

to
just
about
any
home,
it's
also
a
great
conversation starter
at dinner parties.

Given
the
recent
interest
in
green
buildings
in
the
media,
let's
think
differently.
Instead
of
focusing on increasing the supply of
energy, what if we focus on reducing
demand?
Can
we
start
with
ending
the
open-
door
practice
of
street-front
shops?
While
cool
air
from
these shops is
refreshing to pedestrians, it carries a cost.
Energy is used in the air conditioning
process.
So
it must be possible to look for changes in
regulations that would encourage more
energy-
saving designs. For instance, if
we fix ceiling fans, air-conditioning homes could
surely be avoided
for part of the year.
Ceiling fans use far less energy. They were in a
year air conditioners could
stay if
ceiling fans were fixed.
In homes built under the small-house policy in New
Territories, the ceiling may be too low for
ceiling fans. If the 9-meter maximum
building height regulation were relaxed, ceiling
fans could
be
fixed
to
reduce
energy
use.
Current
thinking
in
sustainable
building
design
and
operation
involves
integrated(
协调统一的
)
design,
that
is,
bring
together
all
parties
to
create
a
building
with better performance that achieves
energy reduction.
For
integrated
design
to
succeed,
all
parties
must
come
together
and
think
beyond
each
person's
circle
of
influence.
Better
solutions
are
impossible
to
avoid
with
integrated
design.
Buildings would no longer be engineered
after the basic architecture was built. Positive
project
outcomes may include reduced
air-conditioning load, reduced power use for
electric lighting, and
a reduction in
the amount of materials used.
We need to ask if we are ready to
look beyond our own small circles and seek an
improved
approach to building design.
By that I mean
an integrated design
resulting in more sustainable
buildings.

What's the
author's attitude towards the open-door practice
of the street shops?
A. Supportive. B.
Disapproving. C. Optimistic.

Why
does the author suggest fixing ceiling fans?
A. To follow an old

What's
the key to making sustainable buildings a reality?
A. All

【点评】主旨大意阅读理解题解题技巧：抓住
文章段落大意，概括中心思想
寻找整篇文章的中心思想的方法
是建立在寻找具体段落中心的基础上的。各段落中心句的
整体归纳便是文章的中心思想。
在这个过程中，考生们不能只依据只言片语、一枝一节，
或光看文章的某一些段落，而应
该观察全文的结构安排；理解文章浓墨重笔写的
“

”
；
考虑文章的组织材料及支撑性细节是服务于
什么的；分析故事的发展结局都是围绕什么内

When was the last time you told
someone they inspire you to go to work each
morning?
Teachers at Oak
Park High School in Kansas City, Missouri, did
just that this September, when
they
pulled individual students out of class to tell
them just how much they appreciated
them.
The students'
reactions, which were captured
(
捕捉
) on video and shared on
YouTube in a now-
viral video, ranged
from shy thanks to hugs and tears.
“I have been challenged
to find a student who makes me want to come to
school every day,”
says one teacher in
the video, “and that's you.”
Jamie McSparin, a teacher in charge
of the school's academy program for at-risk
sophomores
（二年级学生）
and
juniors, posed the challenge, writes ABC
News.
“Initially when we pulled the kids out,
they all thought they were in trouble,” McSparin
told
ABC News. “Any
teacher
-student interaction always
seems to be negative (
消极的
),
and that was
something that bothered
me, too. No matter if they're a good kid or a
trouble maker or anything,
they always
thought they were in trouble,” she
says.
McSparin
says
she
got
the
idea
for
the
project
after
attending
a
professional
development
workshop this summer called the power
of positivity.
“I like the i
dea of letting
students know they are appreciated, because we do
appreciate them, I
just don't think we
say it enough,” she told local news outlet
WDAF
-TV.
It's
safe to say the challenge was
effective.
“I
feel
special,”
said
one
of
the
boys
in
the
video.
“You
should,”
said
his
teacher.
“You
are
special.”

Weaving hammocks is an art that
takes a sharp eye, a skilled hand and lots of
patience. But in
Lenwood
Haddock's
case,
being
blind
works
to
his
advantage.
His
trained,
sensitive
hands
are
acutely aware of every
step of the process. Since beginning his craft in
1986, Lenwood has woven
about 145, 000
perfect hammocks.
Lenwood lost his sight
in 1973, at age 18, during a hunting accident. “My
whole working career
has been blind,”
he says. He first found a job as a woodworker, but
when that organization closed,
the
North Carolina Division of Services for the Blind
connected him with Hatteras Hammocks. On
his first day of work. “I did a total
of one hammock,” Lenwood recalls, laughing. “And
then I came
home
and
lay
down
to
sleep.
I
lift
weights,
but
I
wasn't
as
tough
as
I
thought
until
I
started
takes a lot of e
nergy, and
you're standing up all day.”
In time, however, Lenwood found he
had a knack (
窍门
) for the
job. At first he worked on-site
at the
company, but after a year Lenwood moved his
operation to the home workshop where he
had worked for 10 years during his
woodworking days.
There,
he creates dozens of hammocks each week from ropes
in a variety of sizes. One day, he
realized the step counter on his phone
recorded him walking eight miles without ever
leaving his
shop.
The process
of weaving
a
hammock
involves
making and
catching
hundreds
of
loops
(
环
). A
single missed stitch
(
织针
) creates a hole that can
widen and make the hammock uncomfortable
or
even
dangerous
to
use.
Experienced
weavers
miss
loops
sometimes,
but
to
his
company's
knowledge, Lenwood has never turned in
a hammock with even one dropped stitch. Lenwood's
skilled fingers are quick to catch and
fix any mistakes.
The
company has acquired other brands and changed its
name to The Hammock Source. Today,
it
is the world's largest maker and seller of
hammocks, all built by hand.
However, Lenwood's routine has
changed little. He works his fingers back and
forth across the
rows, looping the rope
and pulling it. With every hammock, Lenwood
presents himself a perfect
product.
“I'm not sure how sighted people do it,” he
admits.
（

Lenwood stopped doing his first
job because .
A. it was for people with good eyesight
only
B. the company failed to
go on with its business
C.
the company didn't produce hammocks
D. he was not skilled at doing
woodwork
（

It
can be learned from the passage that Lenwood

A. has been
blind all through his life
B. used to work as a hunter to support
his family
C. was
born
in
the
1950s
with

What can we learn about
Lenwood from the 4th paragraph?
A. He moved very often
while he was working on a hammock.
B. He had to make different
ropes before he wove a
hammock.
C. He
had
to
stay
8

away
from
the
worksite

it.

In Shanghai's Grand Theater, a

enthusiastically as
Guo Yong takes
center stage. He holds a large bushy tree branch
with leaves. Blowing on one of
the
leaves, he produces a sound like the singing of
birds as he plays a traditional Buyi folk song.

The next generation of artificial
intelligence (AI) may be sitting right beneath
you, at least if
furniture maker Ikea
has any say in the matter. The Swedish furniture
company's “future
-
living”
research
lab
in
Copenhagen
is
conducting
a
survey
to
understand
what
people
want
when
it
comes to smart
furniture.
AI is now
walking into more aspects of people's daily lives.
Self-driving cars are just around the
corner,
and
AI
robots
can
play
and
beat
the
best
players
of
strategy
games.
As
smart
home
technologies have become more
ubiquitous, products ranging from smart electrical
outlets
（插
座）
to
smart smoke alarms are flooding the market.
Therefore, it's not surprising that Ikea would
be moving in the same
direction.
Exactly
why
people
would
want
their
sofa
or
bed
frame
to
speak
to
then,
track
their
daily
movements or offer help is not yet
clear. Though Ikea's the new survey doesn't
directly answer
that
question,
it
does
provide
a
hint
of
what
people
would
feel
comfortable
with.
Most
participants wanted a
more human0like form of
virtual
（虚拟的）
assistants, as
opposed to one
that
is
more
robotic.
In
terms
of
the
ideal
gender
（性别）
of
the
assistants,
the
most
popular
choice was neither male nor female. Few
wanted a religious form of AI.
Just as with human friends, most
wanted AI friends that were like them, affirming
their own
worldview. They wanted an AI
assistant that was reasonably intelligent-that
could collect data to
predict
what
a
person
wanted
before
he
or
she
asked,
and
that
could
prevent
someone
from
making
mistakes.
This is not
the first time that Ikea has set foot in the field
or futuristic technologies. In addition
to wireless charging tables and
chainless bikes that never
rust
（生锈）
, the furniture
giant has
also pictured smart kitchens
that can cook the best meal. To decide on how
intelligent you want
your next sofa or
bookshelf to be, you can take Ikea's survey
online.

These

I
walk
down
the
steps
leading
toward
the
south
end
of
the
All
England
Club
in
Wimbledon,
and
still
look
for
the
Crow's
Nest,
a
small
green
observation
tower
with
an
outer
ladder that I used to climb on for a
wide view of the grounds, but which has since been
knocked
down.
The Crow's Nest was a particularly useful point,
because it allowed a tennis writer to keep track
of the action on as many as 10 outside
courts at a time. At days end, reporters from
different
nations would share notes on
what they had observed all over the
grounds.
Twenty-seven
years later, the press room has touch screens that
allow us to watch live videos
from
any
court,
and
even
go
back
to
watch
key
moments
in
key
matches
long
after
they
have
finished. You could
cover Wimbledon without leaving your seat. But
that is a bit like spending all
your
time ordering room service and looking up fun
facts on Wikipedia.
More
than at any other tennis tournament, there is also
an appetite for stories that deal with
the setting, the history and the
traditions.
If they
change the price of the fish tacos
(
鱼肉卷饼
) at the United States
Open, it's not a story.
If
they
change
the
price
of the
strawberries
and
cream,
the
signature
treat
at Wimbledon.
It's
time to email your editor using capital
letters.
The new
retractable (
可伸缩的
) roof was
put in place in 2009. Until then, you always had
to
have a rainy-day story in your
notebook because there were no guarantees any
matches would be
played. Now tennis is
a sure thing on Centre Court, which has made
tennis reporters a bit less
creative.
But at least it guarantees us daily access to the
most atmospheric place in the sport.
So much has changed, but Centre
Court remains true to its original spirit: more a
theater than a
stadium. Catching that
feeling is part of covering Wimbledon,
too.

With fuel costs rising
and airlines finding more fees to impose on
travelers every day, airfare
isn't
getting any cheaper. Since you can't drive to all
your dream destinations, flying is the only
way to go sometimes and, undeniably,
the fastest. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to
find the
most
affordable
fares
and
also
avoid
paying
as
many
extra
charges
as
possible
when
you
plan
ahead.
Getting the best fare. Airlines put
out their fare sales on Tuesday morning, making
this day the
best day to book a flight
for less.
Fly during the
least popular times. Tuesday, Wednesday and
Saturday are the slowest days to fly,
which means cheaper deals than the rest
of the week. You can also find reduced rates on
early
morning flights, since many
people don't like to get up before the sun to get
to the airport. Earlier
boarding
times
can
also
considerably
cut
down
your
chances
of
getting
bumped
on
an
overbooked
flight or delayed because of other delayed flights
or mechanical issues.
Choose
your
seat
later.
Some
airlines
charge
you
to
pick
your
seat
when
you
book
online,
adding even more to the bottom line of
your ticket cost. If you show up early on your
travel day,
you can still get suitable
seats. Some of the best seats get held back until
flight day, unless others
are willing
to pay extra for them ahead of time, so you still
have the chance at one of those.
Fly
on
holidays.
You
already
know
that
summer
is
the
most
expensive
time
to
fly,
and even
though most other
times are more affordable, the days surrounding
holidays can be crazy. Save
big if
you're willing to travel on major holidays, such
as Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Don't wait until the last-minute to
book. Many travelers don't know that there's a
sweet spot
for booking and getting the
best price on your tickets. Book too early or too
late and you could
end up paying more
than you need to. The best time to book is between
three months and six
weeks from when
you want to travel.
Avoiding
extra
fees
Airlines
will
charge
for
just
about
anything
these
days.
Some
have
even
toyed around with
charging customers for using the restroom. All
those extra fees can certainly
add up,
but there's no reason to pay them if you don't
have to. Here are some tips to keep money
in your wallet once you get to the
airport.
Avoid
the
upgrade
it's
not
necessary.
Sometimes
upgrades
are
free,
but
mostly
you
will
be
charged for seeking a last-minute bump
to first class, and the cost can be
hefty.
Fly carry-on
only. Baggage fees vary wildly, but almost all
airlines charge them and charge big.
Why pay for your clothes to fly with
you? If everyone in your travel party checks a
bag, your bill
can be astronomical
before you ever even get to your destination. It's
easy to reduce the amount
of
stuff
you
pack:
Make
sure
all
your
clothing
coordinates,
so
you
can
take
less
and
still
make
more outfit
combinations, take only two pair of shoes, plan to
do a bit of laundry on your trip and
bring only travel-sized
toiletries.
Pack your
own snacks. Unless you're flying internationally,
it's rare your flight comes with a free
meal. Snacks on the plane are not cheap
and almost never healthy. Don't rely on what's on
the
small menu and instead tuck some of
your own snacks
—
granola
bars, homemade muffins, fruit
and trail
mix all make fantastic travel foods
—
into your bag and eat a
lot better, and cheaper,
than other
passengers.
Do you have
a tried and true method of getting the best deal
on your flights? Let us know.

Customers who come into the Waffle House recognize
server Evoni Williams, a soft-spoken
18-
year-old from Texas City. It all
started with a Facebook post. On the morning of
March 3, Laura
Wolf was eating
breakfast at the Waffle House in La Marque when
she overheard an older man,
who
reminded her of her late father, tell Williams he
had trouble with his hands. The man, later
identified as regular customer Adrien
Charpentier, had an oxygen tank nearby and needed
help
cutting
up his food.
“Without hesitation,” Wolf wrote, Williams “took
his plate and began cutting
up his
ham.”
Impressed, Wolf
posted the moment on her Facebook page to share
the warmth and kindness
with
all.
The
following
day,
Williams's
Facebook
< br>notification
（关注）
began
to
light
up.
Her
friends saw Wolf's post
and tracked her in it.
Williams had no idea that someone took a photo
that morning. The diner was so busy that a
line extended outside the door. She
said helping Charpentier was reflexive. She has
been working
at Waffle House since last
June to save for college, and this, she figured,
was just the right thing
to do. “I
would want someone to help my grandmother or
grandfather,” Williams said.
The post began to make its rounds
in La Marque and eventually landed in front of the
city's
mayor,
Bobby
Hocking. He decided
to
declare
March 8
as
Williams's
day,
and
also
received
an
email
from Texas Southern University President Austin ,
asking if the school could present
Williams with a scholarship.
Williams still works at Waffle
House five days a week and plans to do so until
she starts classes
in
the
fall
at
Houston-
based
Texas
Southern.
Wolf
said
Williams
does
not
have
a
car
to
get
to
classes, but some people have offered
to start a GoFundMe page for her, proving that a
moment
of a kindness can change a
life.
（

）
Why
did Wolf post the photo on Facebook?
A. The photo reminded her
of her late father.
B. It could
satisfy her inner needs.
C.
She was touched by the sight.
D. The customer had trouble with his
hands.
（

What does the underlined word in
Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Without a second thought.
B. After careful
consideration.
C. Winning a
reward.
D. Better serving customers.
（

）
What can we
infer about Evoni Williams?
A. She seldom saw Charpentier come to
the House for breakfast.
B. It
was GoFundMe page
that led to her good
luck.
C. She is no longer
working in service business.
D.
She has probably received a scholarship
