  1. A smart phone’s low battery warning is the only warning that most people take seriously. Try the following steps and you will improve your battery life.

    1. Let there be less light

    For larger smart phones, the longer the screen is on and the brighter it is, the faster your battery goes. Try making the screen as dark as you can bear it and still read a text. Darkening the screen is common among teenagers, but it may be hard for Mom and Dad to see what’s showing on their phone.

    2. Turn off the signals

    Your smart phone does a lot of communicating in the background. They’re checking for things like new emails, text messages, Wi-Fi signals, Bluetooth signals, your location and more. These activities do drain your battery life, so you should turn off whatever you aren’t using. Location Services is also another feature that burns up your battery, so you can use GPS and Wi-Fi to find out which apps have access to Location Services and turn them off.

    3. Turn off notifications (通告)

    Another way to improve battery life is to stop the constant flow of notifications and updates from Facebook, email, games and sites. Your phone will automatically pick up these notifications when it’s connected to the Internet, and they can have a noticeable impact on battery life.

    4. Use battery saving mode (模式)

    For a quick way to improve your battery, simply put your smart phone in Airplane Mode. If Airplane Mode is too limiting, some phones have a specific battery saver mode. This shuts down unimportant functions and apps like Wi-Fi, some updates and more.

    If used properly, these tips above will improve your battery life up to 30 percent.

    1.The underlined word “drain” means “      ”.

    A. light up     B. use up

    C. pick up       D. make up

    2.If you want to improve your battery life, you are advised to use a      .

    A. small screen     B. large screen

    C. bright screen    D. round screen

    3.We can infer that aged people tend to      .

    A. email family members         B. use Location Services

    C. darken the screen           D. brighten the screen

    4.We can learn that Airplane Mode can      .

    A. improve signals  B. waste energy

    C. affect health   D. save power

  2. One in four Britons would not trust their neighbors to take delivery of a parcel and 10 per cent suspect them of having stolen a parcel in the past, a survey has found.

    A study of 2,000 shows that barely half of people know who their neighbors are. A majority would never ask their neighbors to look after such things as keys (68 percent), pets (89 percent) while they were out and even taking in parcels is taking trust too far for more than a third of us (35 percent), according to research for InPost UK.

    One in ten (11 percent) have had parcels taken by a neighbor or from right outside their house. When it comes to deliveries, almost a quarter (26 percent) have gone into work late or have left early to wait in for a parcel. This gives rise to people queuing in the Post Office more than 20 minutes to pick up or send a parcel.

    As a result, shoppers are looking for more convenience this Christmas. While 83 percent will still get gifts sent to their home, one in five (19 percent) will have parcels delivered to their office and 33 percent will click and collect in store or from a nearby shop.

    In addition, almost two thirds of online shoppers (64 percent) are considering using parcel lockers because they provide a local 24/7 service.

    Jonathan Smith, chairman at InPost UK, said: “It’s surprising that people don’t trust those closest to them to help them out and to see that missed deliveries are still such an issue, especially as we head into the peak shopping period.”

    1.What’s the problem of British delivery parcels?

    A. They are always stolen by strangers.

    B. Some missing parcels are suspected to be taken by neighbors.

    C. Most of the parcels have to be picked up in the post office.

    D. Deliveries almost cause 50% going into work late or leaving early.

    2.According to the passage, we can learn that      .

    A. merely half of people know their neighbors

    B. only one in four Britons trust their neighbors to take delivery of a parcel

    C. a majority would ask their neighbors to look after their pets

    D. two thirds of online shoppers still get their parcels sent to their home

    3.What’s the attitude of Jonathan Smith towards the issue?

    A. Unexpected.     B. Critical.

    C. Overstate.      D. Optimistic.

    4.What’s the best title for the passage?

    A. The delivery problem in Britain

    B. How can we trust each other

    C. The trust crisis(危机) in neighborhoods in Britain

    D. The way to improve delivery

  3. A single 10-second kiss can transfer as many as 80 million bacteria, according to Dutch scientists.

    They monitored the kissing behavior of 21 couples and found those who kissed nine times a day were most likely to share salivary bugs (唾液细菌).

    Studies suggest the mouth is home to more than 700 different types of bacteria – but the report reveals some are exchanged more easily than others.

    The research is published in the journal Microbiome (微生物组). A team from the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO) asked the couples a series of questions to assess their kissing habits, including how frequently they had kissed in the last year and when they last locked lips.

    Scientists took bacterial samples from the volunteers’ tongues and saliva before and after a strictly timed 10-second kiss. One member of the couples then drank a probiotic (益生菌) drink, containing an easily identifiable mixture of bugs. On the couple’s second kiss, scientists were able to detect the volume of bacteria transferred to the other partner – on average 80 million bacteria in a single 10-second kiss.  But while bacteria in the saliva seemed to change quickly in response to a kiss, bug populations on the tongue remained more stable.

    Prof Remco Kort, who led the research, said: “French kissing is a great example of exposure to a gigantic(巨大的)number of bacteria in a short time.”

    “These types of investigations may help us design future bacterial therapies and help people with troublesome bacterial problems.”

    A growing number or researchers are looking at the microbiome – an ecosystem of some 100 trillion micro-organisms that live in and on our bodies. Scientists say these populations may be essential for health and the prevention of disease.

    1.According to the passage, bacteia can be exchanged during a kiss through    .

    A. saliva     B. tongues      C. lips     D. breath

    2.Why did the scientists have one of the couples drink a probiotic drink?

    A. Because they want to observe the response of their bodies.

    B. Because they intend to protect the bacteria in the couples’ mouths,

    C. Because they want to detect the volume of the transferred bacteria.

    D. Because they want to keep a balanced environment in the couples’ bodies.

    3.What’s the purpose of the research?

    A. To guide healthy kiss.

    B. To limit the times of kissing.

    C. To avoid kissing different people.

    D. To help design future bacteria therapies.

    4.We can learn from the passage that      .

    A. French kissing should be advocated

    B. we need to lock lips when kissing if we love her / him

    C. the exchanged bacteria through kissing do great harm to the other

    D. some of the microbiome may be essential for health though exchanged during a kiss

They wound (曲折而行) their way from the starting line in Staten Island through Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx toward the finish line in Manhattan’s central Park.

    Wilson Kipsang from Kenya won the marathon in 2 hours, 10 minutes, 59 seconds.

She and Kenya’s Jemima Sumgong entered Central Park side by side, and Sumgong appeared to be pulling away with just over a mile left. But Keitany had one last burst left and won by 3 seconds. It was the tightest finish in the history of the women’s race. “In the closing miles, my target was to win,” Sumgong said, “but it was Keitany’s day.”

    The New York City Marathon has grown from a Central Park race with 55 finishers to the world’s biggest and most popular marathon. Sunday was the 44th edition of the NYC Marathon. The race had its millionth finisher in history.

    Keitany, a two-time London Marathon champ, hadn’t run a 26.2-mile race since 2012 because of the birth of her second child. “I worked hard for this opportunity,” she said. “I’m happy because I have a victory today.”

    Great changes have been taken place over the past five years in my hometown, that is a famous historic city. The streets used to be narrow, filling with small shops. Rubbish can be seen everywhere. Nowadays the streets are wider and clean with trees and flowers planted along the sidewalks. Besides, four new parks have been opened for the public and a number of high buildings has arisen in the city. However, some of the historic building have been torn down to make room for the high buildings. Our city now is modern and clean and it doesn’t have its own special characteristics.
