【题目】Missing friends who live far away? Or just need a little family comfort after a long day? Sometimes you just need a hug(拥抱). And sometimes there’s just no one around to give you one. So what do you do? How about a virtual (虚拟的) hug?Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have invented a social media vest (社交背心) that allows people to give hugs to their friends, family and loved ones on Facebook.

The vest is called Like-A-Hug, which is connected(连接) with your Facebook page. Whenever Facebook friends “Like” a photo, video or anything you post on the network, a fan will blow air into the vest to give you a hug. Hugs can also be sent back to the sender by pressing the vest to lose air, according to the website of designer Melissa Chow.

She worked with Andy Payne and Phil Seaton at the MIT Media Lab to build the black vest, making the wearer “feel the warmth, encouragement, support, or love that we feel when we receive hugs.” Melissa Chow said, “We came up with the idea over a free talk about long-distance relationships and the disadvantages of video chat interfaces (视频聊天界面) like Skype.”

Chow and her workmates actually finished work on the vest last year, but it’s only just recently drawn the attention of the public.

Chow provided no pricing or ordering information for the Like-A-Hug vest, so don’t expect to see people blowing up all over town just yet.

Although researchers believe that Like-A-Hug will cause a worldwide storm, a lot of people think it can’t take the place of the feeling of a real hug. Body temperature or the taste of hair and so on is far from what a social vest can match.

【1】What is the main purpose of the text?

A. To show how to design a magic vest.

B. To suggest a newly-built website.

C. To introduce a virtual social media vest.

D. To explain the weak points of Skype.

【2】The vest “Like-A-Hug” would probably be most helpful to ________.

A. those who play computer games

B. those who need comfort or support

C. those who design chat interfaces

D. those who like to give others hugs

【3】What can we learn about Melissa Chow?

A. She built the vest all by herself.

B. She expects to sell the vest at a high price.

C. She made the vest public last year.

D. She got the idea for a vest while chatting.

【4】We can learn from the text that the Like-A-Hug vest ________.

A. can be ordered on Facebook

B. can take the place of a real hug

C. can not only be used by Facebook users

D. produces a hug when you get a Facebook “Like”

Future and Today

Do you know what future really is? I have to say that future is now. So if we want to have a good future， we should know the 【1】 (重要性) of time .

There is an old English 【2】 (谚语): “Gain time， gain life”. Then What’s time? Time is something that we can’t see or 【3】 (触摸)， but we can feel it flying . Time is always with us. When we are at table， time 【4】 (通过); When we play， time goes by unnoticeably. If time is gone away， it will never 【5】 (回来) ， and it’s impossible for us to 【6】 (借) time from other people. So people even say time is priceless.

We should always remember: future is now. For us students， we should make the best use of time every day and become the 【7】 (主人) of time. Also， never put 【8】 (推迟) what can be done today till tomorrow.

As we all know， “Time and tide wait for no man.” If someone 【9】 (浪费) today， he or she will regret (遗憾) tomorrow. So from now on， work hard， tomorrow will be better， and your future will be 【10】 (明亮的). Remember: “No pains， no gains.” Today’s hard work is the cause of tomorrow’s harvest.

【题目】

Blind imitation(模仿）is destroying yourself. To common people, imitation appears attractive; to creative people ,imitation is misleading.

In the early stages of skill or character(性格）development, imitation is helpful, When I first learned to cook, I used recipes and really cooked some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why did I have to follow someone else’s way of cooking when I could create my own? Imitating role models(榜样） is like using training wheels on a child’s bicycle. They help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without depending on them.

In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we hold poor role models. As a child, if you watched people whose lives pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you’ll get the results of the weak choices of others.

In the field of entertainment, our culture appreciates famous people. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be awful. If you are going to follow someone, concentrate on their talent, not their bad character or behaviors.

People like the person who is willing to act on their sudden inspiration to create something particular. Think of the things and people that have affected you most deeply. They moved you because their creations were caused by inspiration, not desperation(绝望）. The world is changed not by those who do similar work before them but by those who do cretive work. Creative people are full of new ideas. The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; It is what to do with the material to knock at the door of imagination.

Study your role models, accept the gifts they have given and leave behind what does not serve you. Then you can say, “If I have announced my success, it’s by learning lessons from my ancestors’ failure.”
