People even had to wait outside My uncle tells me that the key to his

Success is honest. Every day he makes sure that fresh vegetables or high quality oil are using for cooking. My uncle says that he never dreams becoming rich in the short period of time. Instead,he hopes that our business will grow steady.

See a cellphone cover that you like on Taobao? Forget about placing an order, paying the bill online and waiting for days for it to be delivered to you. In the near future, you'll be able to get it in minutes just by hitting “print” on your computer.
You might find it hard to believe that you could actually “print” an object like you would a picture. But it is not that hard to understand how it would work. Just as a traditional printer sprays ink onto paper line by line, modern 3D printers spread material onto a surface layer by layer, from the bottom to the top, gradually building up a shape.
Instead of ink, the materials the 3D printer uses are mainly plastic, resin and certain metals. The thinner each layer is—from a millimetre to less than the width of a hair—the smoother and finer the object will be.
This may sound like a completely new technology, but the truth is that 3D printing has been around since the late 1980s. Back then, it was barely affordable for most people, so few knew about it.
Last year, though, saw a big change in the 3D printing industry—printers became much cheaper. For example, 10 years ago a desktop 3D printer might have cost ￡20,000, while now they cost only about ￡1,000, according to the BBC.
Taken out of the factory and introduced to more diverse and common uses, 3D printing can create just about anything you can think of—flutes , bikinis, jewelry, aircraft parts and even human organs. In fact, scientists from Cornell University in New York have just made an artificial ear using a 3D printer, according to Science Daily. The fake ear looks and acts exactly like a natural one.
However, as 3D printing becomes more common, it may bring about certain problems—such as piracy. “Once you can download a coffee maker, or print out a new set of kitchen utensils on your personal 3D printer, who will visit a retail store again？” an expert in 3D printing told Forbes News. Even more frightening, what if anyone in the world could use a 3D printer to print out a fully functioning gun?

1.According to the article, in the future, the 3D printing technology will _______.

A. enable people to make better purchases online
B. change the way we make many products
C. be applied as widely in our daily life as computers
D. shorten the time it takes for people to get what they buy online

2.What happened in the 3D printing industry last year?

A. The 3D printing technology was taken out of the factory.

B. The 3D printing technology began to be used in various fields.

C. The 3D printer was used for medical treatment for the first time.

D. The 3D printer became more affordable for consumers.

3.How is the last paragraph developed?

A. By giving examples.

B. By making comparisons.

C. By analyzing the cause and effect.

D. By presenting research findings.

4.What is the best title of the passage?

A. Great Demand for 3D Printers

B. Technology in the Future

C. Online Shopping Disappearing

D. Printing out Everything

Most people go to a doctor in their own town or suburb . But people in the Australian outback can’t get to a doctor quickly. The nearest doctor is sometimes hundreds of kilometers away so they have to call him on a two-way radio. This special doctor is called the “flying doctor”. He visits sick people by plane.

When someone is very sick, the doctor has to fly to the person’s home. His plane lands on a flat piece of ground near the person’s house. Sometimes the doctor has to take the patient to hospital. Flying doctors take about 8,600 people to hospital each year.

However, most of the time the person isn’t very sick, and the doctor doesn’t have to visit. He can give advice on the radio from the office at the flying doctor center. He can tell the patient to use some medicine from a special medicine chest (箱子). There is one of these chests in every home in the outback. Each bottle, tube and packet in the chest has a number. The doctor often says something like this,” take two tablets from bottle 5 every four hours.”

Five Ways to Build Self-Confidence

Walk Faster.

One of the easiest ways to tell how a person feels about herself is to examine her walk. People with confidence walk quickly. They have places to go, people to see, or important work to do. Even if you aren’t in a hurry, you can increase your self-confidence by putting some energy in your step. 1..

2.One of the best ways to build confidence is listening to an inspiring speech. Unluckily, chances to listen to a great speaker are few. You can fill this need by creating a personal speech. Write a 30~60-second speech that focuses on your strengths and goals then recite it aloud whenever you need a confidence push.

Sit in the Front Row.

In school, offices and some other public places people always sit at the back of the room, 3.This is for lack of self-confidence. By deciding to sit in the front row, you can get over this meaningless fear and build your self-confidence.

Speak up.

During group discussions many people never express their opinions because they’re afraid that people will judge them for their saying something stupid. 4.By making an effort to express your opinions at least once in every group discussion, you’ll become a better public speaker, more confident in your own thoughts.

Work out
