【题目】 I knew I was not supposed to be quite so excited. I was too old for that. At age eleven, the oldest and my mom’s “grown up” girl, I had to keep calm. I was in middle school after all. But every chance I got, when I was alone, I_______ each present under the tree. I read every tag(标签)and felt every bag, guessing at the things within. I had examined each gift so often that I could tell which ______ went to which person without looking at the tags.

It had been a hard year for my family. Whenever my mom looked over at the tree and presents, she would sigh(叹气)and warn us, “There won’t be as much for Christmas this year. Try not to be______ .” Christmas had been a time for my parents to spoil(宠爱)us. I had heard the phrase “giving is better than receiving”, but getting presents was the whole point!

On Christmas morning, we ______waited in the hallway until Dad told us everything was ready. We rushed into the living room and had to wait and ______ while other family members opened their presents, but as the time passed we lost our self-control.

“Here’s another one for you,” said Mom as she handed me a bag. I looked at it, confused. Having spent so much time examining the presents before Christmas, I______ this one. It was for my mom!

It was a blow dryer. While this may seem only a simple gift, to me it was so much more. But, in my world, where receiving was more important than giving, my mom’s act of selflessness was difficult to_______. I thought in disbelief about how much my mom must love me to do that.

I have always remembered that Christmas with love. As an adult with children, I can now see my mom was finding an even greater_______in her Christmas because giving truly is better than receiving. To me, my mom’s simple act meant the world.

【题目】Travel in the Future

These days, if you want to travel from New York to Beijing, the flight takes about 16 hours. You also have to wait at the airport, and sometimes you have to transfer (换乘) onto a different airplane. If you add all of that extra time, the trip takes at least 20 hours. But in the future, the trip from New York to Beijing might only take two hours.

Right now, a company is developing something called ET3, which stands for "evacuated tube (真空管) transport technology". Here's how it works. A tube goes all the way from New York to Beijing. The tube is only a few meters wide. Capsules () move through the tube. Six people can sit in one capsule. The capsules use electricity instead of oil. For international travel, the capsules can travel at about 6,500 kilometers per hour. That's much faster than airplanes—most modern airplanes usually only fly at about 800 kilometers per hour.

So how is this possible? How can these capsules travel so fast? The answer is that there is no air inside the tube. When airplanes fly, they have to move through air. The air slows the airplanes down. Because there isn't any air in the ET3 tubes, the capsules are able to move at a very high speed. Also, the capsules are quite light. Each only weighs 183 kilograms.

There are other advantages to ET3. Because it uses electricity, it's quite clean. Also, it's a lot quieter than airplanes and cars. Finally, ET3 tubes and capsules don't require very much building materials.

Of course, ET3 doesn't come into use yet. The technology is still being developed. Developers still have to solve a lot of problems. The biggest problem is that right now ET3 would be far too expensive. In order to make ET3 cheaper, we will need much better technology.

It's exciting to think of how ET3 will change the travel in the future. Who knows? Maybe someday you'll be able to have lunch in New York and dinner in Beijing.

1According to the passage, an ET3 looks more like a ________.

A.spaceshipB.busC.planeD.subway train

2ET3 travels at the very high speed because _________.

A.it is powered by electricity and oilB.it is much lighter than an airplane

C.it moves through a tube without airD.it is made up of fewer capsules

3From the passage, the writer expects that ________.

A.modern technology will be used in airplanesB.ET3 will take the place of airplanes some day

C.less money will be spent for passengers on ET3D.ET3 will change the travel in the future greatly

【题目】 Large gatherings such as weddings and meetings can be socially flooded with people. Learning people's names only adds to the stress. A new facial-recognition app could come to the rescue, but experts suggest people should be careful while using it.

The app, called SocialRecall, connects names with faces through smartphone cameras and facial recognition (识别), avoiding the need for formal introductions. "It breaks down these social barriers we all have when meeting somebody," says Barry Sandrew, who created the app and tested it at an event attended by about 1,000 people.

After receiving an invitation to download SocialRecall from an event organizer, the user is asked to take two selfies and sign in through social media. At the event, the app is active within a previously set geographical area. When a user points his or her phone camera at an attendee's face, the app identifies (识别) the person, displays the person's name, and links to his or her social media information. To protect Privacy (隐私), it recognizes only those who have agreed to use. And the app's creators say it automatically removes users' data after an event.

Ann Cavoukian, an expert who runs the Privacy by Design Center of Excellence praises the app's creators for these protective measures. She added, however, that when people choose to share their personal information with the app, they should know that "there may be unexpected results down the road with that information being used in another situation that might come back to bite you."

The start-up project has developed the app for people who suffer from prosopagnosia, or "face blindness," a condition that prevents people from recognizing people they have met. To use this app, a person first receives an image of someone's face, from either the smartphone's camera or a photograph, and then tags it with a name. When the camera spots or recognizes that same face in real life, the previously entered information is displayed. The collected data are stored only on a user's phone, according to the team behind the app.

A.It may put people's personal information at risk.

B.It has caused many unexpected results.

C.It can stop people recognizing people they have met.
