7．Staring lovingly at your reflection in the mirror gets old，especially if it's not a magical one that tells you you're the fairest of them all．But what if all that time you already spend in front of a mirror could actually make you the most beautiful person in the land？Many smart mirrors already make this promise，but HiMirror is the first one you can actually buy，and it costs $189．The secret comes in the form of a camera that takes pictures of your natural appearance to analyze your complexion（面色），before offering you tips on how to get better skin．I tried it om recently and was impressed by how many things it could do．
The 5.5-pound mirror houses a 14-inch LCD screen and has a camera sitting in the middle of a ring flash，which helps light your face for better images．HiMirror takes a picture of your face every day to analyze your wrinkles，dark spots，dark circles and red spots．The idea is to track how your skin changes over time，and flag your so-called problems so you can take early measures to improve upon your skin and achieve your beauty goals．HiMirror pairs with an IOS or Android app so you can track your complexion on the go．
In addition，HiMirror will play tutorial videos on proper skin-care techniques，stream music from Spotify and show you the weather forecast and UV index for the day．You can also tell it the types of beauty products you use，so it can determine whether they've been effective in treating your target areas．Adding a product to what the company calls your"Beauty Box"simply requires holding up its bar code to the camera and scanning it．It's not clear yet how many brands arid products this feature supports，bur most big brands are recognized．

May 6th Saturday Fine．
Today we took part in a meaningful activity organized by the Voluntary Service Club of our school in order to protect the natural environment of the city．（高分句型一）In the morning，we went to Zhongshan Park by bus，talking and laughing all the way．Upon our arrival，we began to work in no time．Some were picking up rubbish while others were collecting the cigarette ends and bottles to throw them into the dustbins．（高分句型二）After getting the work done，some of us distributed leaflets to raise the public's awareness of the damage littering can cause．
We have learned much from the voluntary experience，which offers us an opportunity to contribute to society better．（高分句型三）With the joint efforts，our city will become a more enjoyable place in the near future．．

4．It may be common knowledge that （61）whatBritish people call"football"is known as"soccer"in the US，and"colour"in British English goes （62）without the"u"in American English．But according to an infographic （图表）（63）made （make） recently by website Grammar Check，these are far from being the only （64）differences （different） between the two countries'use of English．
The infographic outlined 63of the main contrasts between British and American English，from the （65）more（much） well-known"lift/elevator"and"autumn/fall"to the less well-known"garden/yard"and"petrol/gasoline"．
Some of the vocabulary mismatches are （66）so different that two people in a conversation may fail to make （67）themselves （they） understood．For example，the two countries have different names for certain food．"Biscuits"and"sweets"in Britain （68）are known （know） as"cookies"and"candy"，respectively，in the US．
But while （69）getting（get） food names mixed up only causes confusion，some misunderstandings may even lead to （70）embarrassment （embarrass） if you're not careful．If a British man in the US is asked to show up to a party in"pants"，there's a chance that he might get a lot of stares from other guests．

-He _____．But now he has given up playing tennis．（　　）

1．When I came back a few minutes later I found my seat ooccupied by a stranger．

20．Soccer is played by millions of people all over the world，but there have only been few players who were truly great．How did these players get that way-was it through training and practice，or are great players born，not made？
First，these players came from places that have had famous stars in the past-players that a young boy can look up to and try to imitate（模仿）．In the history of soccer，only seven countries have ever won the World Cup．There has never been a great national team-or a really great player-from North America or from Asia．
Second，these players have all had years of practice in the game．Pele，who is often named as the greatest soccer of all time，was the son of a soccer player．He began to play soccer with his father when he was only three．Most players begin playing the game at the age of three or four．
Finally，many great players come from the same kind of neighbourhood-a poor，crowded area where a boy's dream is not to be a doctor，lawyer，or businessman，but to become a rich，famous athlete or entertainer（艺人）．For example，Liverpool，which produced the Beatles，had one of the best English soccer teams in recent years．Pele practiced in the street with a"ball"made of rags（破布）．And George Best learned the tricks that made him famous by bouncing the ball off a wall（对着墙壁踢球）in the slums（贫民窟）of Belfast．
All great players have a lot in common，but that doesn't explain why they are great．Hundreds of boys played in those Brazilian streets，but only one became Pele．The greatest players are born with some unique quality that sets them apart from all the others．

62．The author owes a soccer player's success to all the following factors EXCEPTD．
A．family background
B．neighborhood
C．practice
D．height
63．In the last paragraph，why the author says that only one out of hundreds of boys became Pele？B
A．Because they are all from North America．
B．Because most of the boys lack some unique quality．
C．Because all great players have a lot in common．
D．Because boys of this time are born in rich neighborhood．
