Have you ever lost your car on a parking lot? You don’t have a clue where your car is after shopping. Then you start walking around clicking on your car keys so the alarm goes off. It can be annoying, especially on a hot sunny day.
No, you needn’t install (安装) an expensive GPS system to keep track of your car. That’s too expensive. You would need to pay a monthly fee to use it.
But is there a way to track your vehicle without spending a fortune? Yes, now there is! A California-based company has created a tiny device that works with your smartphone, which could be exactly what you’re looking for!
What is it?
It’s called TrackR. It is a state-of-the-art tracking device the size of a coin. It’s changing the way we keep track of the important things in our lives.
How does it work?
It’s easy! Install the free TrackR app on your smartphone, connect the app to your device and you’re ready to go! Simply attach TrackR to whatever you want to keep an eye on. The entire process of setting it up only takes 5 minutes or less.
You can attach it to your keys, briefcase, wallet, your latest tech gadgets and anything else you don’t want to lose. Then use the TrackR app to locate your missing item in seconds.
If you forget where you have parked your car, pull out your smartphone and open the TrackR app. Tap on the “find device” button on the screen and the app will tell you the exact spot of the last known location of the TrackR.
What else can I do with TrackR?
The device is small and unnoticeable enough that you can attach it to your pet. Put it on their collar, and the issue of searching for them when they run away to nearby places will be over! You’ll never waste a minute searching the whole house for it.
TrackR even comes with a double-sided glue (胶水) so you can stick it to your laptop or under your bike seat. Track down and punish the thieves who steal your expensive things!
How much does it cost?
You’re probably thinking that this device is very expensive. False! TrackR only costs $29! That’s a small price to pay for peace of mind, isn’t it?
Where can I buy one?
You can buy it directly from the company’s website by clicking here https: //buy. thetrackr. co/gu/special- offers/15/.

If you ever have the desire to break out into song—in the shower, in the car, maybe at your neighbor's karaoke night—you should embrace it whole-heartedly. This ancient art not only makes you feel good, it can also improve your well-being, reduce your feelings of pain, and even extend your life.
Using your voice to sing, rather than simply carryout a conversation, offers unique benefits because singing affects our bodies. Also, studies link singing with a lower heart rate，decreased blood pressure and reduced stress according to Patricia Preston-Roberts, a music therapist. She uses song to help patients who suffer from a variety of problems.
Singing, particularly in a group, seems to benefit the elderly particularly well. As part of a three-year study examining how singing affects the health of those fifty-five and older, a Senior Singers Chorus was formed by the Levine School of Music in Washington, D. C. The seniors involved in the chorus, as well as seniors in two separate arts groups about writing and painting, showed significant health improvements compared to those in the control groups (控制组).Obviously, the arts groups reported thirty fewer doctors' visits, fewer eyesight problems, less depression, and less need for medication.
Even lead researcher Dr. Gene D. Cohen, director of the Center on Aging at George Washington University, was surprised at how big an effect the seniors' arts participation had on their health. Cohen said, “The average age of all the subjects was eighty. This is higher than life expectancy. So, if an effect were to be achieved, one would ordinarily expect to see less decline (下降) compared to the control group. The fact that there was so much improvement in many areas was the surprising factor." The seniors also noticed health improvements and they reported feeling better both in daily life and while singing.
The part of the brain that works with speech is different from the part that processes music. “People seem to enjoy doing something jointly with other people. There are a lot of facts that being socially involved is good for people with dementia (老年痴呆).”Ballard said.
The arts are showing up as a treatment tool in hospitals across the country. If you are thinking of volunteering, singing at a hospital may be a good choice—not only for the patients, but also for yourself.
1.In the first paragraph, the author ________.
A. expresses a desire for singing
B. offers some advice on singing
C. puts forward his point of view
D. states the importance of health
2.Why was Cohen surprised at the results of the study?
A. The study was not expensive as expected.
B. Arts acted as a treatment tool in hospitals.
C. People's health in the arts group improved greatly.
D. The seniors themselves noticed health improvements.
3.What is the author's attitude towards arts?
A. Doubtful. B. Positive.
C. Negative. D. Worried.
4.What would be the best title for the passage?
A. How to Avoid Getting Dementia
B. How Seniors Live a Healthy Life
C. How to Keep Our Brains Healthy
D. How Singing Improves Your Health

Stamp collecting is easy when you do it as a hobby. You don’t have to spend a lot of money on it. Sometimes stamps can be got from many sources (来源) for free.
Getting Started
If you have no stamps at all，you might want to buy a packet of 500 or 1,000 different worldwide stamps from a hobby shop or stamp dealer to get started. One good choice is eBay. Try entering phrases like “worldwide stamps” in the search box. However，even if you want to specialize in collecting stamps，my advice is not to spend much money on stamps in the beginning. Start off collecting stamps from many sources for free until you have collected enough stamps and had enough experience.
Sorting Stamps
Assume(假设) you have some stamps and they are on paper. Before you take them off the paper，you should sort the stamps，for example，by country. This is because dealing with stamps is much easier when they are on paper. When you take them off the paper，they become easy to bend，crease，and tear easily.
Trimming(修剪)Stamps
Never try to take a stamp off its paper backing by pulling at it，even if it appears to be loose enough to do so. First，trim the paper around the stamp with a pair of sharp scissors making sure not to cut off the edge of the stamps. I suggest that you leave a quarter inch safety area from the edge of the stamp when you trim the paper before you are good at doing it.
1.This passage is written for people who________.
A. have no money to collect stamps
B. want to sell their stamps
C. want to collect stamps
D. don’t know how to sort stamps
2.According to the writer，at the very beginning，stampcollecting beginners shouldn’t________.
A. collect common stamps
B. borrow some stamps from their friends
C. act as an inexperienced collector
D. spend a lot of money in buying stamps
3.What does the writer suggest NOT do when trimming stamps?
A. Pull at them to take them off the paper backing when they look loose.
B. Trim the paper around the stamp with a pair of sharp scissors.
C. Leave a quarter inch safety area from the edge of the stamp.
D. Make sure not to cut off the edge of the stamps.
