Don’t you just hate it when you have to take an important phone call and you’re surrounded by potential eavesdroppers(潜在偷听者)? You either have to whisper or go outside to keep the conversation private, which is not good. Now Hushme aims to fix this problem by muffling your voice and making you look like Bane in the film Batman.

Hushme is a strange high-tech mask(口罩)that blocks the sound of the wearer’s voice so that people nearby can’t hear what is being said. It connects to your phone via Blucetooth and comes with a pair of earphones. When you get a private call, all you have to do is put the mask on and it will do the rest. The pair of thick pads over your mouth does a good job of muffling your voice, but to ensure nothing gets through. Hushme also has speakers that play a variety of sounds when you speak.

The Hushme mask, which comes in a variety of colors, can be worn around the neck, like a regular pair of earphones, and attaches in front of your mouth thanks to a couple of very powerful magnets(磁铁). It’s not yet clear how comfortable speaking with this Bane-like mask over your mouth really is, or how effective its speech muffling ability is, so we know so far is that it makes you look strange. The sound choices for covering your voice currently include wind, ocean, rain, birds, monkey, but new ones could be added in the future.

Advertised as the “world’s first voice mask for mobile phones’. Hushme was showed at CES. At the becoming of this year. Its makers plan to sell it by the end of this year. It will cost about $200.

Food serves as a form of communication in two basic ways. Sharing bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can promote unity and trust. Food can also have a special meaning, and play an important role in a family or culture’s celebrations or traditions. The foods we eat—and when and how we eat them—are often unique to a particular culture or may even differ between rural(郊区的) and urban(市区的) areas within one country.

Sharing bread, whether during a special occasion(时刻) or at the family dinner table, is a common symbol of togetherness. Many cultures also celebrate birthdays and marriages with cakes that are cut and shared among the guests. Early forms of cake were simply a kind of bread, so this tradition has its roots in the custom of sharing bread.

Food also plays an important role in many New Year celebrations. In the southern United States, pieces of corn bread stand for blocks of gold for prosperity(兴旺) in the New Year. In Greece, people share a special cake called vasilopita. A coin is put into the cake, which signifies(预示) success in the New Year for the person who receives it.

Many cultures have ceremonies to celebrate the birth of a child, and food can play a significant role. In China, when a baby is one month old, families name and welcome their child in a celebration that includes giving red-colored eggs to guests. In many cultures, round foods such as grapes, bread, and moon cakes are eaten at welcome celebrations to represent family unity.

Nutrition(营养) is necessary for life, so it is not surprising that food is such an important part of different cultures around the world.

1.According to the passage, sharing food _______.

A. indicates a lack of food.

B. has its roots in birthday celebration.

C. is a custom unique to rural areas.

D. can help to develop unity and trust.

2.What does the coin in vasilopita signify for its receiver in the New Year?

A. Success B. Trust

C. Health D. Togetherness

3.The author explains the role of food in celebrations by _______.

A. making comparisons B. analyzing causes

C. using examples D. describing processes

4.What is the passage mainly about?

A. The custom of sharing food.

B. The importance of food in different cultures.

C. The specific meaning of food.

D. The role of food in ceremonies.

Now bike-sharing is becoming increasing popular. It is green means of transportation and provides a user-friendly experience. Besides, problems also arise. The bicycles are left almost in everywhere on the street. Also, many people ride the bicycles on the driveway, cause many traffic accidents. My suggestions on how to improve the situation were as follows.

First of all, the city government should design certain areas for parking the bicycle. In this way, fewer people will leave the bicycles like they please. Secondly, more roads for bicycles needs to be built to make sure that cyclists aren’t caught in a traffic jam.

I hope this bike-sharing project will help build better traffic or improve the air quality.
