Ever since I was old enough to dream,I have imagined myself flying with the eagles.My love of flying has shaped the way I live and the person I have become.Two years ago that passion rocketed to new heights when I visited Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Arizona.For a whole week I lived in a college dorm,roomed with a total stranger,and best of all,I flew!
My group took part in activities from learning about the history of aviation（航空）to flying in pilot training simulators（模拟器）.At least once a day,I was lost in one of the world's best training aircraft,the Cessna 182.I received thorough ground instruction,and also got to fly.In total,I flew five hours toward receiving my private pilot's license.In that joyous week,my passion for aviation grew even stronger.Now,whenever I see a plane flying overhead, I feel a sense of pride,thinking I've done that.
During my time above the Arizona desert,I learned not only about the mechanics and techniques of aviation,tout also about myself and how I see the world.Floating in that seemingly endless sea of air,I became aware of the variety and the complexity of the humanity below.On the ribbons of roadways,each tiny car carried people with hopes and ambitions.I wondered if any of them had ever wished to fly like an eagle.I realized they must have their own strong desire.That's what makes us unique.We always try to respond to something special inside us.I also realized that I was especially fortunate to be making my own dream come true.
Everywhere I go,I hear,"Do what makes you happy,and you will be happy."It sounds like standard advice,but I've really thought about it and taken it to heart.I couldn't care less about what benefits I receive.I know I am already in hot pursuit of my dreams.Even if they change,and even if they finally don't involve aviation,I'll always aim to fly with the eagles.

An American company has built a new drone（无人机）that could improve the speed of deliveries（送交的货）.
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—a 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.

A. Why the new drone is invented.
B. What the new drone is equipped with.
C. How can the new drone get to the ground.
D. Why the new drone is designed like paper airplanes.
2.Why is the invention called the "Ikea of drone"?
A. Because it's a product made by Ikea.
B. Because it uses the idea from Ikea.

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.

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 (激光传感器) 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 (墨盒) 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.
