3.Like millions of other houses on this planet,my house is made out of wood,glass and stone.However,it is also made out of software.
If you come to visit,you'll probably be surprised the minute you come in,when you will be presented with an electronic PIN (个人身份号码)to wear,which tells the house who
and where you are.The house uses this information to give you whatever you need.When it's dark outside,the PIN turns on the lights nearest you,and then turns them off as you walk
away from them.Music moves with you too.If the house knows your favorite music,it plays it.The music seems to be everywhere,but in fact other people in the house hear different music or no music.If you get a telephone call,only the nearest telephone rings.
Of course,you are also able to tell the house if you want something.There is a home control console (控制台),a small machine that turns things on and off around you.
The PIN and the console are new ideas,but they are in fact like many things we have today.If you want to go to a movie,you need a ticket.If I give you my car keys,you can use my car.The car works for you because you have the keys.My house works for you because you wear the PIN or hold the console.
I believe that ten years from now,most new homes will have the systems that I've put in my house.The systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones I've put in today.
I like to try new ideas.I know that some of my ideas will work better than others.Today's leading-edge technology will help me build tomorrow's better home.But I hope that one day I will stop thinking of these systems as new,and ask myself instead,"How will I live without them?"

61According to the passage,the author is probably a(n)D.
A.musician
B.architect
C.experienced teacher
D.IT expert
62.What does the passage mainly discuss?A

C.How to develop a new system.D.Easy life in the future.

A.To let readers know why his ideas are new.
B.To explain more easily what the functions of the PIN and the console are.
C.To explain the importance of the PIN and the console.
D.To let readers know how special his house is.

B.you can make a telephone call anywhere
C.the writer is able to change his new idea into practice

14.We have a problem,and the strange thing is that we not only know about it,but also celebrate it.Just today,someone boasted (自夸) to me that she was so busy she's averaged four hours of sleep a night for the last two weeks.She wasn't complaining; she was proud of the fact.She is not alone.
Why are rational (理性的) people so irrational in their behavior?The answer is that we're in the midst of a bubble (泡沫).I call it"The More Bubble".
The nature of bubbles is that something is overvalued until-eventually-the bubble bursts,and we're left wondering why we were so irrational in the first place.The thing we're overvaluing now is the opinion of doing it all,having it all,achieving it all.
This bubble is being enabled by a combination of three powerful trends:smart phones,social media,and extreme consumerism (消费主义).The result is not just information overload,but opinion overload.We are more aware than at any time in history of what everyone else is doing and,therefore,what we should be doing.In the process,we have been sold a bill of goods:that success means being supermen and superwomen who can get it all done.Of course,we boasted about being busy-it's code for being successful and important.
And our answer to the problem of more is always more.We need more technology to help us create more technologies.We need to move our workload to free up our own time to do yet even more.
Luckily,there is a solution to asking for more:asking for less,but better.A growing number of people are making this change.I call these people Essentialists.
These people are designing their lives around what is essential and removing everything else.These people arrange to have actual weekends (during which they are not working).They create technology-free zones in their homes.They trade time on Facebook with calling those few friends who really matter to them.Instead of running to different meetings,they put space on their plans to get important work done.
So we have two choices:We can be among the last people caught up in"The More Bubble,"or we can join the growing community of Essentialists and get more of what matters in our one precious life.

15.Amsterdam Destination GuideAmsterdam is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world,famous for its beautiful canals,top art museum,cycling culture,and Red Light District.It is the capital and most populous city in the Netherlands and often referred to as the"Venice of the North"because of its expansive system of bridges and canals.Here are some of the key points to remember as you plan your trip to Amsterdam.
Must-See Attractions
Most visitors begin their Amsterdam adventure in the Old Centre,which is full of traditional architecture,shopping centers,and coffee shops.Don't miss the Dam Square and the areas around Spui and Nieuwmarkt.The infamous Red Light District is also m this area,and definitely worth a visit to see what the hype is about.You'll also want to check out Amsterdam's Museum Quarter in the South District,which is great for shopping at the Albert Cuyp Market and having a picnic in the Vondelpark.The top museums to visit are the Rijksmusuem,the Ann Frank House,and the Van Gogh Museum.
If You Have Time
There are several,and you should try to explore as many of them as time allows.The Canal Ring is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was originally built to attract wealthy home owners and is a core for celebrity spotting and nightlife today.The Plantage area has most of the city's museum,including the Jewish Historical Museum,the Scheepvaart Museum,and the botanical gardens.
Free Things to Do
Have a picnic and bring a bottle of wine to relax and people-watch in Vondelpark Soak up some sun at one of city's beaches.
Take a walk along the canals,smell the flowers,and browse markets along the way Hop on one of several free ferry services across the IJ River for lovely city views.
Money Saving Tips
Unless you really want to see the tulips blooming,avoid booking between mid-March and mid-May.This is when hotel and flight prices surge.
Look for accommodations in Amsterdam's South District,where rates are generally cheaper than in the city center.
Buy train tickets at the machine instead of the counter to save a bit of money.
Instead of hiring a tour guide,hop on a canal boat.They're inexpensive and will give you a unique point of view of the city.
