When we communicate online,words sometimes just aren’t enough,says City University London Professor Adrian David Cheok.

Now,he has a solution: researchers at his Mixed Reality Lab are coming up with ways to say words with a smell — developing cell phone apps and plug-ins that give off smells like flowers and food.

“Smell is a very powerful- sense. It can cause an emotion or memory directly 一 before we logically think about it,” Cheok tells the Columbia Broadcasting System.

The lab has already created technology able to send the smell of flowers to a loved one through texting — as long as the person has a little digital machine plugged into the (耳机塞孔) of his smart phone.

The first application of this technology was the Hana Yakiniku plug-in released in Japan in 2013. It became available internationally on Amazon in February. The video marketing the Hana Yakiniku attachment presents funny digital smell solutions to common problems: a poor college student,for example,can now eat dinner with his iPhone and enjoy the smell of beef he can* t afford while eating rice for lunch. The plug-in attachment is sold at a reasonable price of about thirty-five dollars.

The technology can be used in a range of commercial applications,from diet programs,advertising and health care,to recipes and personal communications.

“You can send someone an online message with the smell of a flower,” Cheok says. “For our everyday communication,we want to be able to have a much wider range of experiences being communicated. Not just sending data or information,we want to share our experiences. ”

9. What is the purpose of Cheok's technology?

A. To improve our sense of smell.

B. To help us have a better memory.

C. To help us enjoy better communication.

D. To encourage us to use more words online.

10. The Hana Yakiniku plug-in was based on the design by.

A. a Japanese company

B. the Amazon company

C. the Mixed Reality Lab

D. the Columbia Broadcasting System

11. According to the text,Cheok's technology.

A. will have many different uses

B. will be on the market very soon

C. is too expensive for most people

D. is possibly harmful to earphone jacks

12. What does Cheok mainly tell us in the last paragraph?

A. The influence of personal experiences.

B. The importance of communication.

C. The development of smart phones.

D. The advantages of his invention.

Bom in Mississippi in 1897,William Faulkner is considered the master of stream-of-consciousness,a revolutionary literary technique. His novels rank among the most important books of the 20th century.

It is clear that Faulkner,s Deep South (the most southern states of the US) roots greatly influenced his writing. He grew up surrounded by traditional folk tales,family stories,and accounts from the Civil War. His remarkable understanding of race relations and his clever satire(讽刺) of Southern characters came from his memories of growing up in Lafayette County,Mississippi. It was there that William Faulkner began to write on the great political,social,and economic transformation taking place in the Deep South. He set many of his short stories and novels in Yoknapatawpha County,a fictional place he developed from his hometown.

In his works,Faulkner examined how traditional values and beliefs affected Southern society after the Civil War. Faulkner particularly hated the racism and abuse that African Americans suffered in the South. Although Faulkner,s novels do riot avoid describing the cruelty and pain that life can bring,his works are filled with sympathy and humor. His work explores,condemns,and analyzes barriers to human freedom and happiness by examining racism,shames fear,and false pride.

Among his masterpieces is The Sound and the Fury,published in 1929. The novel tells the story of a well-known Southern family,relying most heavily on stream-of-consciousness writing,in which a character's thoughts and feelings are conveyed in a manner similar to the way the human mind actually works. (The technique,in other words,is the expression of thoughts and feelings exactly as they pass through your mind,without the usual structure they have in formal writing.)

Faulkner's mastery of unique literary styles was formally recognized when he was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1949. Always his own fiercest critic,William Faulkner considered many of his books failures because they did not live up to his high expectations. However,it is clear that Faulkner's experimental literary techniques often puzzled and challenged his readers,who were more,often than not inspired by his in-depth analysis of the human spirit. Faulkner passed away in 1962.

9. According to the text,Yoknapatawpha County.

A. is a county of Mississippi

B. was Faulkner’s hometown

C. is based on Lafayette County

D. was a place in the Deep South

10. In Paragraph 3 ,the author mainly tells us about.

A. the styles of Faulkner's works .

B. the themes of Faulkner's works

C. the influence of Faulkner's works

D. the limitations of Faulkner's works

11. What do we learn about stream-of-consciousness?

A. It is the theme of The Sound and the Fury,

B. It has the usual structure of formal writing.

C. It describes mental activities as they occur.

D. Jt refers to how characters affect each other.

12. What can we know about Faulkner and his works?

A. 台e felt eonflised about ihem.

B. He was usually inspired by them.

C. He considered them to be unique.
