Everybody has alineage (宗系). Recently, finding out more about our family origins has become popular. By the start of 2019, 26 million people had taken anancestryDNA test at home, according to a report by MIT Technology Review. They believe by 2021 this number will have risen to 100 million.

This trend has been noticed by opportunistictravel operators. Some are looking to provide a service that both allows people to trace theirheritage－by literally going back to theirroots－and travel to the destinations where their ancestorsoriginatedfrom.

Airbnb, an online lodging marketplace, recently partnered with 23andMe, a DNA testing and analysis company, to offer recommendations that encourage travelers towalk in the footstepsof theirforefathers. And they aren’t the only ones. The Shelbourne hotel in Dublin has its own advisor. Hellen Kelly offers consultations to help gueststracetheir Irishorigin using official records. This allows them to ‘fill in the blanksof their Irish ancestry’, she told Good Morning America. The Conte Club, a luxury travel company, offers customtravels based on DNA tests. “These experiences are aboutexploringdeeper into who we really are,” says Conte Club CEO Rebecca Fielding in an article in the Condé Nast Traveller. “It might be the most meaningful trip we can take.”

So next time you think of going on vacation, why not take a DNA test first? Once you know how far your family has come, take the time to holiday back.

Life is a long journey, and our problems are like rocks on the road. How do I handle it? Most of the time, I turn to my teachers to help or write about my problems online instead of share my troubles with my parents. They go to work early and come home lately. They look so tiring after a day's work. Although I tell them about my difficulty, they may turn a deaf ear to me. Therefore, I still want to tell them all my troubles someday. I don't expect them to give me any useful advices. I just want them listen to me and comfort me.

【题目】 GPS has completely transformed how we get around. But other animals have long had their navigation (导航) systems built right in --- like ants and bees.

“We know their eyes are quite sensitive to polarized light (偏振光), and the sky has a particular pattern of polarized light, connected with the position of the sun.” says Barbara Webb, a bioroboticist at the University of Edinburgh. You can see polarized light firsthand if you take a pair of polarized sunglasses and spin them against the sky --- the light passing through the lenses changes. Webb says the insects have polarization like that built into flat sides of their compound eyes. “You can think of it as the equal of having a little polarization directional filter (滤镜) over them or lots of sunglasses pointed in different directions.”

But Webb was curious about whether there's really enough information in the sky to give insects an accurate sense of direction. So her team built a sensor modeled after a desert ant eye and put it under artificial light meant to simulate the sky. They then fed that sensor input into a model meant to copy the brains of desert ants and other insects with a sky compass. And they found that with the insects' natural sensing and processing equipment, they can likely sense compass direction down to just a couple degrees of error.

A system based on that of insects could someday be a cheap, low-energy alternative to GPS. “Insects have very tiny brains, a brain that's using hardly any energy. And yet they're still able to navigate better than we can with GPS, which is a huge system.” Webb is now working on building a robot that can, like the desert ant, use light to get its direction. Although after sundown, it may have to ask for directions.

【1】What make(s) it possible for ants and bees to sense the direction?

A.Flat eyes.B.Polarization.

C.A directional filter.D.Polarized sunglasses.

【2】Why did Webb and her team build a sensor?

A.To copy the brains of desert ants.

B.To model after the desert ant eye.

C.To satisfy their desire for answers.

D.To test an accurate sense of direction.

【3】What is the future navigation system supposed to do?

A.To save energy.B.To be a substitute for GPS.

C.To guide the blind.D.To help GPS work better.

【4】What is the main purpose of the passage?

A.To introduce an invention.

B.To praise a scientific achievement.

C.To present new scientific findings.

D.To encourage people to learn science.

【题目】阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Not all education can and should happen within the classroom. Sometimes, traveling is the best form of education, as students can get a number of personal and educational benefits from travel. From learning about other cultures first-hand to seeing where historical events took place with their own eyes, educational travel gives students the opportunity to deepen their understanding of art, science, history, and culture in many ways.

Educational becomes a whole new experience when students can see lots of tools and equipment for themselves by traveling to different places. The tools and equipment could be used by scientists decades or even centuries ago to make discoveries that make our modern world possible. Educational travel brings the materials off the pages and into reality, allowing students to connect themselves with them in a more meaningful way.

No matter where students go, it’s almost guaranteed that they’ll find some kind of food that is unique to that place or done better than anywhere else. If someone gets Chicago-style pizza in Chicago, they’re going to have a different tasting experience than they would if they were getting the same type of thing in, say, Texas. At the same time, getting chili in Texas would be a whole different experience from getting chili in New York or Chicago. Students can learn a lot about a culture by what they eat on a daily basis and what they consider a special meal, so it’s good to take a taste of the local food and learn through all of the senses.

Being away from family, home, and familiar ground is a courageous and independent adventure in its own right. Educational travel provides that opportunity to allow students to open their minds regarding how they choose to live life, which can be extraordinarily helpful in preparing students for college and adulthood. Traveling – with the combined social skills and perspectives(视角) it teaches – really allows students to better understand how they can operate on their own.

【题目】 Last summer, I had to stay in the room during the period of my recovery from cancer after the operation. It was unexpected that life highlighted everything that I might tend to take for granted in the normal course.

On the first morning, my children presented me a coffee pot. I liked to begin the day with a cup of coffee and was eager to try the pot.

When I made coffee, it spilled out over the whole table. Fortunately, nobody was there to see my embarrassed look! I kept trying, but each morning would see me wiping up the coffee. Then I realized that if I poured very slowly there would be no spilling.

This was at first a very painful experience. My normal practice was to rush through breakfast so that I could get on with my day. But at that moment I learned not only to pour slowly but to enjoy the experience: the smell, the taste, and the stillness of a new day.

It helped me to reflect upon whether there were other areas of my life 1 was rushing through. Most of life, it seemed. Strangely, those we consider loved ones may go of radar(雷达)when we would expect them to enquire about our well-being. However, others we seldom keep in touch with came into our lives suddenly, full of concern, well-meaning advice and love.

After the recovery period, I started to leave extra time to do even the most ordinary tasks. When shop owners would apologize for keeping me waiting, I would say, "Not a problem, I'm not in a hurry." Even hanging out washing became pleasurable when a couple of extra minutes of standing still, and listening to the birds singing in the trees around me became part of my routine.

Besides, one of my favorite experiences living in the inner city for many years was sitting on the front doorstep of our home spending time with strangers. We sat on the steps, each of us with a cup of coffee in our hands, listening to each other's stories. It was one of the warmest things about living in a busy city.

【1】What was the author's life like before the time of recovery from the illness?

A.Awkward.B.Relaxing.

C.Hurried.D.Thrilling.

【2】How did the author enjoy the pouring-coffee experience?

A.By pilling coffee over the table.B.By buying a new pot.

C.By chatting with the strangers.D.By pouring coffee slowly.

【3】What happened when the author changed her lifestyle?

A.She had more time for reflecting on her past.

B.She found joy in ordinary daily activities.

C.She became impatient with any shop owner.

D.She liked listening to mysteries in busy cities.

【4】What is the main purpose of this article?

A.To tell people how to make coffee tasty.

B.To advocate enjoying slow-paced life.

C.To show the gift from her children.

D.To recommend making friends with others.
