A terrible storm took place in a Friday night. The wind was so strong that many trees were brought down. It is eleven o¡¯clock. Li Ming, one of my best friend, was still not back and his parents were very anxious about them. Half an hour late, the wind stopped£¬but it was still rainning hardly. Li Ming¡¯s parents were about to look for him then he came home. Li Ming explained that the storm pushed over big trees as well as electricity poles, blocked the roads and that the bridge had washed away by the floods. Therefore, Lei Ming and his classmates had to find another way back. What was even more worse, one of his classmates had a arm hurt. So they took him to the hospital.

An American company has built a new drone£¨ÎÞÈË»ú£©that could improve the speed of deliveries£¨Ëͽ»µÄ»õ£©.

The drone is very different from other unmanned aircraft.It is made almost completely out of cardboard and has no motor.It can be packed with materials and sealed up with tape.

Because the drones do not have a motor,they are designed to be dropped from airplanes.Hundreds of drones could be sent out at once.Then they could be automatically guided to where they are supposed to go.The company says these drones could then complete deliveries to different places over an area covering hundreds of kilometers. The drones look bigger than the paper airplanes we used to make as kids.But this light flyer is not a toy.It is aerodynamically designed and equipped with a small computer,a battery and sensors to guide it to the ground.

The drones are being developed by Otherlab¡ªa technology research company in San Francisco,California.It calls the drone a "Sky Machine."

The company says it can travel about 150 kilometers at speeds up to 88 kilometers an hour.Now,it can carry materials weighing up to one kilogram,but future models are expected to carry larger loads.

One of the drone's main advantages is that it does not have a heavy motor or large battery.This allows more room for materials and makes the drone cost less to build and operate.

The Otherlab development team has called its invention the "Ikea of drones."This is because it is packaged similarly to products from the Swedish furniture maker Ikea.The drone arrives as flat pieces of pre-cut cardboard that can be quickly and easily put together.

The technology that guides the drone can make it land within 10 meters of its target,according to Otherlab. Unlike other drones,even a crash landing is acceptable.The company says the drones can also be reused.

Once the drone completes its delivery,it can be thrown away and the cardboard material will likely break down within a few months.

The company has received money from the U.S. Department of Defense to carry out research on the drones.The money came from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.The agency is attempting to find the best delivery vehicles that can disappear after their missions are complete.The U.S. military has a need for delivery drones.But it wants to simplify and lower the cost of using them.Otherlab's Sky Machines are an attempt to fill that need.

Military drones can also be stolen and studied by others if found after use.Before they can truly disappear,the electronic materials inside must also somehow disappear.Researchers are still working on ways to get the technology itself to self-destruct.

3.Which of the following statements is the advantage of the new drone?

A. It can land near its target.

B. It has a light motor inside.

C. A crash landing is not acceptable.

D. Its load weighs far more than one kilo.

4.What about Otherlab's Sky Machines can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?

A. They have been built by the US military.

B. Research is being carried out on their improvement.

C. They are now often stolen and studied by others after deliveries.

D. The electronic materials inside will destroy themselves after use.

Smartphones, tablets and laptops make it easy for people to work on the go, but traditionally, printers have been cumbersome to move out of the office. However£¬the new Zuta Pocket Printer will enable people to print anywhere.

The Zuta Pocket Printer was invented by Zuta Labs, based in Jerusalem. This small printer is about 10.2 cm wide and long and 7.5 cm high, and weighs about 350 grams. The company plans to ship its printers to customers in the beginning of 2017.

This printer can connect wirelessly to smartphones, tablets, laptops and PCs via Wi-Fi, and is supported by Android, iOS, OS X and Windows. A free application from the company lets you use the printer via a mobile appliance; a laptop or PC can also select the printer for use just like any other wirelessly connected printer. This printer can print one average A4 page, measuring 21 by 29.7 cm. Zuta Labs noted that its printer can print on any standard size piece of paper, and that, in principle, it could print on any surface.

The printer¡¯s ¡°omni-wheels¡± help it turn and move in any direction on a surface. Laser sensors (¼¤¹â´«¸ÐÆ÷) help control the movement, speed and location, according to the company.

Zuta Labs said the printer¡¯s rechargeable battery can last about 1 hour, on average~long enough to print about 60 pages. One ink cartridge (Ä«ºÐ) can print more than 100 pages, according to the company. Currently, the appliance prints only in black, although Zuta Labs said it plans to have a full-color printer in the future.

Visitors to Britain are sometimes surprised to learn that newspapers there have such a large circulation (·¢ÐÐ ). The ¡°Daily Mirror ¡° and the ¡°Daily express¡± both sell about four million copies everyday. British families generally buy a newspaper every morning and two or three on Sundays.

Besides the national papers, there is, however, another branch of the British press which sells almost as many copies. Local newspapers have a weekly circulation of 13 million. Almost every town and county area has one. Nearly all of them hold their own financially (²ÆÕþ ) and many of them are very profitable (׬ǮµÄ ) .

These papers are written almost entirely for readers interested in local events-births, weddings, deaths, council (µØ·½»áÒé ) meetings and sports. Editors prefer to rely on people who know the district well. A great deal of local news is regularly supplied by clubs and churches in the neighborhood and it does not get out to date as quickly as national news.

The editors must never forget that the success of any newspaper depends on advertising ( ¹ã¸æ) . He is usually anxious to keep the good will of local businessmen for this reason. But if the newspaper is well written and the news items have been carefully chosen to draw local readers, the business men are grateful for the opportunity (»ú»á ) to keep their products in the public eyes.

"Guinness" is on Tuesday nights on Fox.It is a disgusting show that I regret watching.The producers seem to show the sickest records.There is nothing wrong with the book,and it's an honor to be in it,for the most part.The program,however,doesn't show the record for the person who lifted the most weight.Instead,they show the person who lifted 30 pounds with his ears and tongue,which was truly disgusting.Television can do without a show like this.

"Saturday Night Live" is not the same show that it once was.Now the weekly comedy show struggles to come up with a single funny scene.Despite the good acting and the interesting hosts,the humor is simply not there.As the ratings continue to drop,the show must find a solution to its growing problem of lack of funny material.Until then,it will probably get worse."Saturday Night Live" can be seen on NBC on Saturday nights from 11:30 p.m-1.00 a.m.

"The Wayans Bros.",an exciting comedy starring Shawn and Marion Wayans,airs every Wednesday at 9:00 p.m.In the show,Shawn and Marion play brothers who live together and own a news stand.Shawn,the smooth-talking one of the two,and Marion,the younger brother who is forever acting like a five-year-old,seem to have a conflict every week,but always resolve it with a brotherly hug.

"Gilmore Girls",now in its seventh (and final) season,is an amazing television show that follows the lives of the mother/daughter team of Lorelai and Rory Gilmore.Lorelai got pregnant with Rory at the age of 16 and decided to move out of Hartford,Connecticut,to seek refuge in a small town nearby.She and Rory have a close relationship and share everything.
