The Segway（平衡车）was invented by Dean Kamen, and was first shown to the public in 2001 by ABC’s Good Morning America program. 1. The word Segway is remarkably close to the word ” segue” which means “to move smoothly from one thing to another”
The Segway looks like a large stick with two wheels. The wheels are connected to a platform. The stick has handles for a person to hold. The person stands on the platform and holds the handles. The transporter moves forward or backward when the person moves his or her body in that direction. 2. Computers and certain devices on the Segway make the vehicle move and balance. It is powered by batteries that can be recharged. It can travel at a speed of 20 kilometers an hour.
3. Today these vehicles are used to take people on tours in parks .The Angel Island in San Francisco uses the Segway to take people around. The Segway was also used by the police at the Rio 2016 Olympics.
However, the vehicle has not found acceptance from the general public. 4.A review of the history of the Segway will show that some people are still uncomfortable about riding a two –wheeled self-balancing vehicle. Another reason is that the US has different regulations on the roads and streets where the Segway can be used. Most states recommend that a helmet be worn when riding this vehicle.
5. While its usage may be limited for now, there is still no telling what it will be used for in the coming year.
A. The history of the Segway has just begun
B. The driver turns the handles to go left or right.
C. If you have never experienced a Segway tour before, we expect you to join us .
D. Those who have ridden on the Segway say it is best used for short journeys.
E. As a result, the most popular use of the Segway is in tourism, particularly for city tours.
F. This unique invention was intended to help people travel throughout public city streets.
G. One reason is that the price is similar to other vehicles which they are more familiar with.

It is amusing that yogurt, which was invented to make milk last longer before the days of refrigeration, now makes grocery shopping last longer. Full-fat, or nonfat? Greek, or regular? 1.
A key recommendation when it comes to fat is to choose low-fat or fat-free yogurt. That's because dairy fat is mostly saturated (饱和的), the type linked with increased risk of heart disease. Besides, full-fat dairy has more calories than nonfat.
This view, however, has been challenged by a few recent studies. Researchers think that full-fat dairy might offer some as-yet-unknown health benefits. It might also help with weight management because the fat in it makes it more satisfying, helping keep our appetite in check.
2. Until there are further findings, it might be wiser to choose low-fat or fat-free yogurt and add healthy fat by topping it with nuts.
3. Many of them also have a hard time deciding whether to buy Greek yogurt or regular yogurt. Greek yogurt, which was rare about a decade ago, dominates the store shelves with dozens of flavors today. It has become popular partly because it features a thick, creamy texture (口感) and contains more protein and less sugar than regular yogurt.
Greek yogurt has these qualities because of its unique liquid-removing process. Unfortunately, lots of nutrients, including calcium (钙), are sometimes drained, too. Therefore, thickened yogurt and regular yogurt offer different nutritional benefits. 4.
Finally, it is worth mentioning that it's the added sugar, not the naturally- occurring sugar (which is removed in Greek yogurt), that should be the cause of our concern. Fruit-flavored yogurts that appear to be healthy may have little actual fruit and plenty of added sugar instead. 5.
A.Consumers, however. are not confused only about fat.
B.Mixing them up and enjoying both might be a good idea.
C.With so many conflicting headlines about fat these days, it's no wonder people are confused when buying dairy products.
D.Our best bet might be to buy plain yogurt and sweeten it ourselves using fresh fruit.
E.There are so many choices that we often find it hard to decide which yogurt to buy.
F.They're naturally ''packaged'' with so many important nutrients that it would be misguided to avoid them.
G.Yet more research needs to be done for us to fully understand dairy fat’s health impact .

A pair of pandas being lent by China to Japan was set to arrive in Tokyo's Ueno Zoo in the Japanese capital and raising hopes that the animals may help improve bilateral (双边的)ties.
Bi Li and his female partner, Xian Nu, both 5, were due to touch down at Narita international Airport in Tokyo on a flight from Shanghai.
Together with their keeper, the pair were transferred from Chengdu, to Shanghai on Monday morning, said Li Desheng, deputy chief of the Wolong Nature Reserve.
The pair, which are young adults, will be the first pandas at Ueno Zoo since April 2008, when the institution's beloved Ling Ling died.
Ueno Zoo had spent 90 million yen ($1.1 million) installing under-floor heating, a playground with a sandbox and landscaping.

Expectations are running high that the pandas that will stay in Japan for 10 years will boost the local economy and improve troubled relations between Tokyo and Beijing.
Business and tourism officials expect them to bring in around 20 billion yen a year, or 10 percent of the local economy.
In 1993, a year after Ling Ling arrived in the zoo, an additional 1 million people visited the attraction. Visitors have fallen to around 3 million a year from 3.5 million since Ling Ling's death.
Since a boat collision near the Diaoyu Islands in September, Sino-Japanese relations have been at a low point. The media outlets expressed hope that bilateral relations will improve with the arrival of the pandas.

高三英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析
Once upon a time, there was a lovely vegetable field, on which grew a very thick tree. Both the vegetables and the tree gave the place a wonderful appearance, which was the joy of the garden’s owner. What no one knew was that the vegetables in the field and the tree couldn’t stand each other. The vegetables hated the tree’s shadow, because it left them only just enough light to survive. The tree, on the other hand, hated the vegetables because they drank nearly all the water before it could get to him, leaving him with just enough to survive.
The situation became so extreme that the vegetables got totally fed up and decided to use up all the water in the ground so that the tree would dry up. The tree answered back by refusing to give the vegetables shadow from the hot midday sun, so they both began to dry up. Before long, the vegetables were really thin and the tree’s branches were drying up.
Neither of them thought that the gardener, on seeing his vegetable field becoming worse, would stop watering it. When he did that, both the tree and the vegetables really learned what thirst was. There seemed to be no solution, but one of the vegetables, a small courgette（小胡瓜）, understood what was going on, and decided to deal with it. Despite the little water and the unbearable heat, the little courgette did all he could to grow, grow...He managed to grow so big that the gardener started watering the field again. The gardener wanted to enter that beautiful big courgette in some gardening contest.
And so the vegetables and the tree realized that it was better to help each other than to fight. They should really learn how to live in harmony with those around them, doing the best they could. So they decided to work together, using both the shadow and the water in the best combination to grow good vegetables. Seeing how well they were doing, the gardener now gave the best of care to his vegetable field, watering it better than any other field for miles around.

2.What is the result of the fight between the tree and the vegetables?
A. They grew taller and stronger.
B. They were both drying up.
C. The tree defeated the vegetables.
D. The vegetables defeated the tree.
3.The courgette thought of ways to solve the conflict by .
A. making peace with the tree
B. working together with other vegetables
C. entering the gardening contests
D. growing big enough
4.What can we learn from this passage?
