For those who are too young to know what a Tamagotchi is, it’s an egg-Shaped plastic device with a black-and-white screen on which appears a little pixelated (像素化的) pet. With the three buttons below the screen, you can feed the pet, care for it and clean up its mess. And just like a real pet, it gets sick and dies if neglected.
When it was first released by Japanese company Bandai in 1997, this virtual (虚拟的) “pocket pet” was so popular with school children that it was frequently sold out at stores all over the world. For many people, the Tamagotchi was their first ever experience of raising and caring for a “pet”.
A lot has certainly changed in the last 20 years — especially when it comes to technology — so would it be a good idea to reintroduce the Tamagotchi to today’s world?
Bandai obviously thinks so since it’s going to re-release it next month, marking the device’s 20th anniversary. “We are going after that nostalgia,” said TaraBadie, director of Tamagotchi’s brand management, according to The Verge.
Modern features:
Nostalgia is all the rage these days. Just look at Nintendo’s Pokemon Go — the 2016 smartphone game originated from its 1996 version — and Nokia’s 2017 version of the 3310 — the mobile phone released in 2000 that it seems nearly everyone in the world owned. But these companies didn’t just simply copy from the past — they managed to update the old version and adapt it for the modern world.
With Pokemon Go, Nintendo successfully combined cutting-edge (前沿的) argumented reality (增强现实) technology with the game’s original storyline.
“Pokemon Go tells us about the future of software and the nature of reality-and how they integrate (整合) into what we think of as entertainment,” technology writer Om Malik wrote on The New Yorker.
And although Nokia’s new 3310 stayed faithful to the original phone’s design, it added a few modern features like a color screen, camera and internet access. It even kept the symbolic game Snake, which many of today’s adults would have spent hours playing as teenagers.
But while nostalgia is certainly a selling point to many people, not everyone is a fan.
“I'm so sick of nostalgia as a ploy (噱头) for profit. From the ‘Make America Great Again’ slogan, to the endless Star Wars and X-Men movies, we’ve become a world obsessed with looking backward for lazy sources of joy”, wrote tech reporter Thomas Ricker on The Verge.
But will the magic of nostalgia work with the Tamagotchi? According to Julia Alexander, editor for video website Polygon, it seems pretty unlikely.
After trying the new product, Alexander soon found out that little has been changed since the original.
“I grew up and, unfortunately, the Tamagotchi didn’t,” she wrote.
So when it comes to nostalgia, maybe the fond memories of our favourite childhood products are best left as that-fond memories.
1.What is the author’s main purpose in writing the passage?
A.To promote the new Tamagotchi.
B.To compare some hit video games.
C.To explore why “nostalgia” is valued these days.
D.To analyze whether it was wise to bring the Tamagotchi back.
2.According to the text, the success of Pokemon Go and Nokia’s new 3310 lies in the fact that they both_________.
A.use argumented reality technology
B.look exactly the same as the original version
C.made creative adaptations from the old version
D.changed what we think about entertainment
3.Why isn’t Thomas Ricker a fan of using nostalgia for profit?
A.It could make people less inventive.
B.The original products were often bad.
C.It could make people become addicted to the past.
D.It ruins our tonal childhood memories.
4.It can be inferred from the passage that the author__________.
A.isn’t completely supportive of re-releasing old products
B.believes that nostalgia is a great selling point
C.believes the new Tamagotchi will appeal to the public
D.loves products that can help revive her good memories

Zoos divide opinion ： there are those who think it is cruel to keep animals locked up while others believe zoos are essential for the survival of endangered species.
To argue that zoos imprison animals is to misunderstand what zoos are about. Without zoos many of the creatures we love and admire would no longer exist. Every single day，over one hundred animal species vanish. Scientists predict that as early as 2050 one quarter of the Earth’s species will become extinct.
Some animals are in danger because they are hunted. Alarmingly, the population of tigers has already fallen by ninety-five percent. Other species are in danger because of a lack of food. For example, there are fewer than 1300 giant pandas left in the wild.
Zoos have special breeding programmes to help those animals at risk. These breeding programmes are proving extremely successful. As Irene Shapiro from Zoo and Wildlife Support says, “the Puerto Rican Parrot has grown in numbers from just thirteen to about eighty-five and the Golden Lion Tamarin Monkey, which has almost ceased to exist twenty years ago, has been reintroduced back into the wild. ”
Unfortunately, not everyone understands this important role zoos play. For example, Brian Featherstone from the Anti-Zoo Forum says, “I can’t believe we take animals from the wild and put them in cages for the entertainment of the public! We should view them on film or TV in their natural environment.，’
However, this misses the point. A zoo does more than display animals to the public. It ensures their survival. Without zoos you would not be able to see many of these animals on TV or anywhere else!
1.What’s the writer’s attitude towards zoos?
A．He shows no opinion either for or against them.
B．He thinks that they are unnecessary and cruel.
C．He believes they play an important environmental role.
D．He expresses a desire that more of them be built.
2.The underlined word “vanish” in Paragraph 2 most probably means _____.
A．remain B．disappear C．become rarer D．get killed
3.According to the passage the world’s tiger population _____.
A．will rise by 5% next year B．is relatively stable
C．is 95% smaller than in the past D．has fallen to 95%
4.According to the passage some people do not agree with zoos because they _____
A．are too expensive to run B．put animals in danger
C．do not provide enough food D．keep animals locked up
5.According to the writer ，the most important function of the zoo is to _____.
A．make a lot of money B．entertain visitors
C．ensure animals’ survival D．educate the public

A new device is helping those who are blind to see. It does this in a new way by helping them experience the world around them. The technology is called Orion, manufactured by a company called Second Sight. 1. From being able to see absolutely nothing to suddenly seeing little flickers of light, the blind can move around alone, telling where a doorway is and where the sidewalk begins or ends.
2. One is a small device placed in the brain. There is also a video camera on sunglasses and a processing device carried in a person’s clothes. When the user points the camera, a signal goes to the processor and then back to the glasses. The glasses then communicate wirelessly with the device in the brain. The information causes a pattern to develop in the part of the brain called the visual cortex (皮质). 3. And it all happens in seconds.
Jason Esterhuizen is one of just two people in the U.S. testing this technology. He lost his eyesight after a car accident. He never thought he would be able to see light or movement again. But with the movement of a switch, his world suddenly grows brighter. 4.For example, it is easier and safer for him to cross the road because he can look down and just follow the white line that's painted on the road.
Researchers believe that one day this technology could benefit people who have lost their vision because of illnesses like glaucoma (青光眼) or diabetes. 5.
A.It may also help those with poor vision or who were born blind.
B.The new technology generally uses several parts.
C.He is amazed to have the functional vision again.
D.It is meant to help these people regain some independence.
E.He can do everyday activities that he once could not.
F.In this way, users detect movements and shapes of light.
G.It basically performs the functions of what the eye normally does.
