At the end of every year, Time picks the best 25 inventions that are “making the world better and smarter”. Here we have picked three of this year’s inventions that could be a part of your life in the near future.

The levitating(悬浮的) lightbulb

This special lightbulb was invented by US artist and scientist Simon Morris. He got the idea of making a lightbulb float from hoverboards(悬浮滑板)，which he used to dream of having as a kid.

But the floating is not the most amazing part. The rejection force between the opposite ends of the magnets(磁铁)，which were put in the bottom of the bulb and in the wooden base, does the job. What’s new here is a technology called induction (电磁感应). It allows the lightbulb to get power from the base even they are not in contact.

Shoes that tie themselves

They’re not what you think-shoelaces that tie themselves in the way we tie them. Instead, the new shoes have small motors that control their laces. When you step in them, your feet will hit a sensor（传感器）in the shoes and the motor will automatically tighten the laces.

But the shoes weren’t just designed for lazy people’s needs. They could actually give athletes an advantage during competition. They are also useful for people who cannot move their arms or fingers easily.

The no-touch thermometer

Taking your body temperature usually means putting a thermometer (体温计) in your armpits (腋窝) and staying still for minutes. It may be easy for you, but it’s an impossible task for little kids.

Now, with the new thermometer, users can simply put it 2.5 centimeters from a patient’s forechead and press the button, and it can get the reading in two seconds.

1.The levitating lightbulb is special in that ________.

A. floating is the most amazing part of the levitating lightbulb

B. the inventor of the levitating lightbulb is more than a scientist

C. it makes use of the rejection force between opposite ends of magnets

D. induction allows the lightbulb to get power even when unconnected with the base

2.How is the no-touch thermometer different from other ones?

A. It makes it easier to take kid’s temperature.

B. You need wait two minutes for the reading.

C. You don’t need to press the button.

D. It should be put in one’s armpit.

3.In which part of a newspaper can you possibly read this text?

A. Education.　　 B. Sports.　　 C. Science.　　 D. Entertainment.

Having put down your pens at the end of the college entrance exam, you have ended 12 years of hard study. Forget your studies for a while. It's time to enjoy yourselves!

There are many ways to celebrate this special month of graduation. You can have photos taken with your classmates and teachers, or dine out together and exchange gifts.

High school students in Western countries such as the United States and Canada usually have a prom to mark their graduation. It's to mark the time kids turn into young men and women. After the prom, teenagers either go to college or find a job. It means they are no longer as dependent on their parents as they were before.

At the prom, boys usually dress in dinner jackets and bow ties, though many different types of formal clothes are worn. Traditionally, girls give boys matching boutonnieres ( 佩带在扣眼上的花). Girls traditionally wear formal dresses, or dress to shock or be noticed, in shiny or brightly colored materials.

Common prom activities include dining, dancing, the crowning (加冠) of a prom king and queen, and just talking to friends.  In some cases, high school students collect funds for their class prom through the four years of their high school.

High schools in or near large cities may rent ballrooms at expensive hotels or, to be unusual, in a pleasure cruise boat.

But often costs are cut by simply using the school gym. Students make a lot of effort to decorate the gym to make the event special. The music played at the prom will be the most popular kinds, like rock and hip-hop.

The students elect the Prom Queen. She is partnered with a Prom King who is elected similarly. These are great honors that the pair take very seriously. The two dance with each other to celebrate their election.

1.The word "prom" is probably closest in meaning with________.

2.Which of the following is an economical way to hold the prom?

3. What clearly indicates that prom is very important to students?

4.For what do the students just talk to friends at a prom?

5.How is the prom significant to the students?

The end of the school year is in sight — Christmas cards, candy canes and of course, end of year reports.

While most parents welcome an assessment of their kids' performance, they do not expect their own input to be evaluated. But a school in the UK is changing that. As well as assessing their students, they are dishing out grades to mums and dads. Parents that are really involved in their kid's education are rewarded with an A, and parents that haven't done their bit get a disappointing D.

The school, Greasley Beauvale Primary in Nottinghamshire, uses criteria such as whether mums and dads have attended school events such as plays and parent-teacher conferences to decide on the grade. The school’s principal, Donna Chambers, said that the scheme (方案)had been well received.

“There were some critics, but my response was ‘well, it can’t do any harm’. Between 15 percent and 20 percent of parents started out in the lower categories but now that has been reduced to just two percent,” she explained.

Chambers hopes that the scheme will help motivate parental involvement. “The system is important because you have got to get the parents on board from day one. That one hour initial conversation saying they could improve will pay dividends for the rest of that child’s academic life”, she said.

But while the scheme may be well-intentioned, it is likely to be connected with parent shaming. There are lots of reasons why some mums and dads might not be involved in school activities such as work commitments, looking after younger children or caring for elderly relatives.

And of course, being involved in your kid’s education doesn't begin and end at school. There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes from helping with homework to keeping uniforms freshly laundered. And what about all the parents who stayed up sewing special costumes at the last minute? Surely that earns a gold star instead of a grade!

1.What do schools usually do at the end of the school year?

A. Evaluating kids’ performances.　　 B. Making Christmas cards.

C. Dividing candies.　　 D. Grading parents.

2.What does the school’s principal Chambers say about the scheme?

A. It uses criteria to assess kids.

B. It has gained much acceptance.

C. It gives parents further education.

D. It improves kids’ motivation for learning.

3.What does the underlined part “pay dividends”(Para. 5) probably mean?

A. Hold shares.　　 B. Earn profits.

C. Sacrifice health.　　 D. Produce advantages.

4.What does the author think of parents’ being involved in kids’ education?

A. It adds to parents’ burden.

B. It brings shame to parents.

C. It means far more than being graded.

D. It increases parents’ commitment to education.

Alison Malmon was completing the end of her freshman year at the University of Pennsylvania, US, when she got the news: Her older brother Brian, a student at Columbia University, was suffering from mental illness.

Influenced by this, Malmon formed a group at her university to enable students to talk openly about mental health. It soon blossomed into a national organization that today has more than 450 campus chapters. Leaders with the organization spend their time talking with college students about the pressure that today’s young people face. “What you hear often is just a need to be perfect,” said Malmon, “and a need to present oneself as perfect.”

And a new study in the UK proved that this need for perfectionism is simply part of today’s society. In the study, two researchers studied more than 40,000 students from the US, Canada, and the UK. They found that what they called “socially-prescribed (社会定向型的) perfectionism” increased by a third between 1989 and 2016.

Lead researcher Thomas Curran said that while so many of today’s young people try to present a perfect appearance online, social media isn’t the only reason behind this trend. Instead, he said, it may be driven by competition in modern society, meaning young people can’t avoid being sorted and ranked in both education and employment. That comes from new norms (准则) like greater numbers of college students, standardized testing and parenting that increasingly emphasizes success in education.

For example, in 1976, half of high school seniors expected to get a college degree of some kind. By 2008, more than 80 percent expected the same. The researchers also said changes in parenting styles over the last two decades might have had an impact. As parents feel increased pressure to raise successful children, they in turn pass their “achievement anxieties” onto their kids through “excessive (过多的) involvement in their child’s routines, activities or emotions.”

Those in the mental health community like Malmon say they’re concerned about the impact the culture of perfectionism has on mental health on campuses. “Mental health has truly become this generation’s social justice issue,” she said. “It’s our job to equip them with the tools and to let people know that it’s not their fault.”

1.What is the article mainly about?

A. The effects of the culture of perfectionism.

B. Research into the trend of perfectionism.

C. A group dedicated to helping people stay mentally healthy.

D. Various pressures that today’s young people are facing.

2.What inspired Alison Malmon to start a group related to mental health?

A. Her brother’s mental illness.

B. Her project during the freshman year.

C. The pressure she had experienced.

D. Her strong interest in mental health.

3.What may be pushing today’s young people to struggle to be perfect, according to the article?

a. The impact of social media.

b. Parents’ high expectations of their children.

c. The decreasing number of college students.

d. The fierce competition in society.

e. Their desire to draw their parents’ attention.

A. a, b, c　　 B. a, d, e

C. a, b, d　　 D. b, c, e

4.What does Malmon think is a way to help young people manage the pressure of perfectionism?

A. Enabling them to know what is to blame for their pressure.

B. Lowering their expectations of themselves.

C. Reducing parents’ involvement in their children’s life.

D. Making them aware of what true social justice is.
