Rubbish sorting (分类) probably doesn't sound like much fun. But there is a new mobile game that may change your opinion about it, and you might even learn something while you play it-Meet Sortee.

Meet Sortee is a puzzle game developed by Flow Studio, a UK company. It makes you think deeply about everyday objects and their meanings.

The rule of the game is quite simple. Two bins are placed on either side of the screen. Each of the bins has a label (标签) next to it and the label explains what it is for. When an object, such as a car or an apple, appears on the screen, you need to decide which bin it should be sorted into and then send it there by moving your finger.

The game seems easy enough at first. But as you move on to more levels, it gets harder. The number of bins increases to three or four and the time given gets shorter. You need to think and move faster. That can be really difficult.

There are 400 0bjects in total and more than 100 bins in the game.　 The more objects you correctly sort, the more game coins you can get It's a bit like working in a rubbish recycling center,　 but it has no bad smell.

You can download the free game from Apple's app store (苹果软件下载中心),　 but it only lets you play the first few levels. If you want to open the next 40 levels, you need to pay 6 yuan for the full game.

1.The passage is probably taken from __　　 __.

A. a postcard　　　　 B. a newspaper　　　　 C. a comic book　　　　 D. a novel

2.Which of the following can we infer (推断) from the passage?

A. You can play the full game for free.　

B. You can play the full game easily.

C. There are only 2 bins in each level.　　

D. There are over 40 levels in the game.

3. What's the best title of the passage?

C. Apple's app store.　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D. A recycling center.

Talking to human-like devices (设备) can be great fun – just ask Siri to tell you a joke. But it may also lead to problems.

A recent study by scientists in the US found that human-like devices keep people from finding out normal human interaction when they feel lonely.

During a series of experiments, participants were asked to write about a time when they felt lonely. Participants were then introduced to human-like products. They were also asked to think about their phone in human-like terms.

The results showed that the participants were happy with the comfort they got from the machines and didn’t need to seek out normal human interaction.

But the team also found that there were limits to how far this effect would enlarge.

Researchers believe the results are important for consumers to realize how these types of products could affect their social interaction with real people, especially because so many new products feature interactivity.

“If someone notices they are talking more to Siri lately, maybe that has something to do with feeling lonely,” Olson said. “From that point of view, it’s important to be aware of it.”

The study could also help companies design products that can increase the well-being of people who feel lonely, without losing normal social interaction.

“Maybe it is more about improving our current relationships,” Olson said, “such as taking a break from screens and focusing on developing your real personal connections.”

1.Who did the recent study?

A. The human-like devices.

B. The normal human interaction.

C. The scientists in the US.

D. The human-like producers.

2.What’s the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “participants” in Paragraph Three?

A. 指挥者　　 B. 参与者　　 C. 协调者　　 D. 疏导者

3.What should people do during the series of experiments?

A. They should tell a joke.

B. They were asked to think about their phone.

C. They were introduced to human-like products.

D. They were asked to find out the well-being of people.

4.What’s the advantage of the recent study?

A. Companies will design more products.

B. People will spend more time talking to Siri.

C. People will never feel lonely.

D. People will improve their current relationships.
