【题目】How to Form a Positive Reading Habit

Books are a source of joy, learning, insight and imagination. How we choose what to read says a lot about our preferences and passions. 1

Give old favorites a re-read

There is a particular kind of pleasure that comes with easing open a well-worn book, flipping through pages you have thumbed before, maybe multiple times. 2 It can bring you back to the time in your life when you last met those characters. You’re left with a rich reflection on who you were, who you are and where you turn for meaning and inspiration.

Learn something new

If you are a lover of novels, think about what your favorites have in common.3 That can send you down a glorious rabbit hole of non-fiction books that will brighten your understanding of times, places and people who already live in your imagination.

4

Book clubs are positive on so many levels, not least of which is that they open your mind to books you might not otherwise have considered. If you don’t belong to one — and even if you do — try to think about your reading choices in a public way. Ask friends what they are reading and go with any recommendations that interest you.

Give yourself permission to move on

Sometimes you just can’t get through a book — and that’s okay. Just like living positively means acknowledging when it’s time to let go of something that isn’t serving you well, reading positively means giving yourself permission to close a book that isn’t keeping you interested or inspired. 5. The positive pleasure of reading is indeed unending.

A.Get social

B.Set up a book club

C.There are unlimited choices to turn to instead, after all

D.Here are some tips for making reading a positive habit in your life

E.Reading books that you enjoy helps maintain your habit and become a life-long reader

F.Re-reading favorite books can do more than bring you back into beloved worlds and stories

G.A particular time in history, region of the world or type of character may become a new theme

【题目】 With self-driving vehicle technology rapidly advancing, many companies are turning to autonomous robots for the final leg of the delivery process, from the store or local distribution center to the customer. The latest to join the trend is e-commerce giant Amazon. Following a successful eight-month test run in Snohomish County, Washington, the company’s Scout robots have been making the rounds of Irvine, California, since August 6, 2019.

The six-wheeled Scout is about the size of a large cooler with the capacity to carry small or medium-sized packages. The battery-powered vehicle, which moves at a regular walking pace, has been programmed to avoid pedestrians, animals, and unexpected obstacles, such as garbage cans. Its powerful sensors can also detect the movement of a car backing out of a driveway.

To accelerate Scout’s development and bring it nationwide sooner, the company has created several detailed virtual maps of American suburbs and conducted trial deliveries to homes there.

Though Amazon has not shown how Scout ensures the delivery is picked up by the right person, it most likely requires the customers to apply a unique code, texted to them prior to the delivery, to unlock the store box. Also unclear is the number of deliveries Scout can complete before its battery needs to be recharged. Though the initial tests are being conducted with a human for company, the robot will be autonomous in the future. Its location, however, will be tracked at all timesif someone attempts to steal Scout, Amazon employees will be instantly sensed.

However, the eco-friendly robots are unable to climb stairs or open gates, which means that they can only reach consumers who live on the ground level. Additionally, the robots are unable to leave packages at the front door if the customers are not home. Whether these problems get resolved remains to be seen. For now, it appears that humans will still be needed to achieve the ever-growing demand for home and office deliveries.

1Which of the following descriptions about Scout is right?

A.They can be powered themselves.B.They are strong enough to carry big things.

C.They can run with their six wheels.D.They can avoid obstacles ahead.

2What about Scout is still confusing to common people?

A.How many deliveries it can do on a full charge.B.Whether it can climb stairs or open gates.

C.How it recognizes the right owner of the things.D.How long it will take to get it fully charged.

3What does the underlined phrase “prior to” in paragraph 4 mean?

A.due toB.afterC.in front ofD.before

4What is the author’s opinion about delivery robots according to the last paragraph?

A.They are not easily available.B.They have some limitations.

C.They will replace humans soon.D.They won’t be well accepted.

【题目】 Living in a culture that is different from your own can be both an exciting and challenging experience. 1 Here are some major cultural differences between China and the US to help promote mutual understanding.

Privacy

Chinese people do not have the same concept of privacy as Americans do. They talk about topics such as ages, income or marital status, which Americans think is annoying and intrusive(侵扰的).

Family

In China, elders are traditionally treated with enormous respect and dignity while the young are cherished and nurtured. In America, the goal of the family is to encourage independence, particularly that of the children. 2

Friends

Chinese people have different meanings to define friends. 3 Friendship means lifelong friends who feel deeply obligated to give each other whatever help might seem required. Americans always call people they meet friends, so the definition of friends is general and different. There are work friends, playing friends, school friends and drinking friends.

Money

4 They are always conservative when they are planning to spend money. It is different in the USA, where far fewer families are saving money for emergencies and education than their Chinese counterparts.

5

Basically, China values the community and the US values the individual. If you achieve something in the US, it's because you were great. While in China, if you achieve something in China it's because the team, or family, or company is great. Everything you do gets attributed to the greater whole, while in America individual merits are celebrated.

A.Collectivism vs. Individualism

B.Education and Career vs. Character and Faith

C.You're welcome to leave your comments.

D.As is known to all, the Chinese like to save.

E.Just hanging out together time to time is not friendship.

F.You have to learn different cultural practices and try to adapt to them.

G.Unlike the Chinese, older Americans seldom live with their children.
