As data and identity theft becomes more and more common, the market is growing for biometric(生物测量) technologies—like fingerprint scans—to keep others out of private e-spaces. At present, these technologies are still expensive, though.

Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they have come up with a low-cost device(装置) that gets around this problem: a smart keyboard. This smart keyboard precisely measures the cadence(节奏) with which one types and the pressure fingers apply to each key. The keyboard could offer a strong layer of security by analyzing things like the force of a user’s typing and the time between key presses. These patterns are unique to each person. Thus, the keyboard can determine people’s identities, and by extension, whether they should be given access to the computer it’s connected to—regardless of whether someone gets the password right.

It also doesn’t require a new type of technology that people aren’t already familiar with. Everybody uses a keyboard and everybody types differently.

In a study describing the technology, the researchers had 100 volunteers type the word “touch” four times using the smart keyboard. Data collected from the device could be used to recognize different participants based on how they typed, with very low error rates. The researchers say that the keyboard should be pretty straightforward to commercialize and is mostly made of inexpensive, plastic-like parts. The team hopes to make it to market in the near future.

1.Why do the researchers develop the smart keyboard?

A.To reduce pressure on keys. B.To improve accuracy in typing.

C.To replace the password system. D.To cut the cost of e-space protection.

2.What makes the invention of the smart keyboard possible?

A.Computers are much easier to operate.

B.Fingerprint scanning techniques develop fast.

C.Typing patterns vary from person to person.

D.Data security measures are guaranteed.

3.What do the researchers expect of the smart keyboard?

A.It’ll be environment-friendly. B.It’ll reach consumers soon.

C.It’ll be made of plastics. D.It’ll help speed up typing.

4.Where is this text most likely from?

A.A diary. B.A guidebook C.A novel. D.A magazine.

Finding time to do both homework and exercise is getting easier for students at a growing number of schools. Workout machines are appearing in many school libraries. The latest school to fix the Fit Desk Bike Desk is Troy University， which now has a total of six in the libraries. Over the past three years， the Bike Desks have also been fixed at four other universities.

The idea of pushing "active workplaces" is far from new. From standing offices to treadmill （跑步机）meetings， companies have been exploring the benefits of getting employees up from their desks-benefits that include higher morale （士气）and improved work performance. And a recent study that focuses on younger children suggests a strong connection between physical activities and good grades.

Chris Shaffer， who is director of library services at Troy University， says he thought it would be worth experimenting with the machines. "The final goal is to make the library a welcoming place that our students want to visit"， says Shaffer， "If we can find a way to let our students study and become healthier at the same time， then I am all for it. " He says the experiment is so successful so far that the university has ordered three additional Bike Desks.

Troy junior Niquette says the bikes have been in use every day he has visited the library. "Keeping a proper diet and exercise schedule during college is near impossible， "he says， "These offer a special way to study and I hope the university continues to add more." Senior Raven hasn't used the Bike Desks yet but says she wishes they'd been fixed sooner. "I remember being a junior and the gym is so crowded， with the smell of sweat， loud music and people moving around，" Raven says， "I think the machines are a great idea. You can do sports quietly while others focus on their study.

1.What can we learn from the first paragraph？ ______

A.University students are doing more exercise now.

B.Doing homework is easy for university students now.

C.Troy University introduced the Bike Desk to other schools.

D.Fixing workout machines in libraries is becoming popular.

2.What is the second paragraph mainly about？ ______

A.The types of exercise at workplaces.

B.The explanation of work performance.

C.The development of active workplaces.

D.The benefits of exercising during work and study.

3.What is the purpose of fixing the Bike Desks according to Shaffer？ ______

A.To make the library attractive to students.

B.To make students become healthier.

C.To help students to get good grades.

D.To do experiments on the machines.

4.What do Niquette and Raven think about the bikes？ ______

A.They are easy to ride.

B.They are really useful.

C.They make the library noisy.

D.They distract students.

The demands of the modern world are growing day by day and this is putting more pressure on scientists to do research. However, as stated by Griffiths, “There is no hope of doing perfect research”. Naturally, there have been a lot of criticisms (批评), as many scientists immediately announce that their research methods are very safe and that they have the perfect research theory (理论).

However, scientific history is filled with examples, in which a perfect scientific solution that was based on decades of scientific research has been overturned (推翻) with new theories. Naturally the first example that comes to mind is the fact that Newton’s Theories were thought to be very safe and they were used in all fields of science. For centuries, thousands of scientists around the world used Newton’s Theories to formulate (规划) other theories.

However, after nearly two centuries of use, Newton’s Theories were found to be not as perfect as they were thought. Through Einstein’s publication on the General Theory of Relativity, it was found that Newton’s laws were imperfect in explaining all motions (运动) that were taking place in our universe. It was found to be imperfect under some conditions, even though, Newton’s laws are still used today to predict motion at low speeds.

Thus, perfect research is only a myth (神话). Of course, this does not mean that a scientist should simply give up and accept imperfection in his or her research efforts. Improvements and changes in research techniques and methods are a natural part of evolution (进化) and it is each scientist’s responsibility to take it forward as much as possible.

While the final answer to the universe’s questions may never exist, a time will come when there will be fewer questions as new answers are found and more improved research is carried out by scientists around the world.

1.Why have there been a lot of criticisms?

A. The modern world demands mor e and more.

B. Scientists have a negative attitude.

C. Many scientists arrive at their conclusions (结论) too fast.

D. Griffiths does not believe what scientists say.

2.Through the publication of the General Theory of Relativity, Newton’s Theories turned out to be ______.

A. not so perfect　　 B. completely wrong　　 C. very safe　　 D. very exact

3.What will scientists do to deal with the “imperfectness” problem?

A. Accept the fact and give up.

B. Improve and change their methods and techniques.

C. Try their best to carry out the perfect study.

D. Ignore it and do as they please.

4.We can learn from the last paragraph that ______.

A. the universe’s questions are sure to have a final answer

B. the number of questions is sure to increase with the passing of time

C. scientists are carrying out improved studies

D. there will be more scientists in the world in the future

Teens and younger children are reading a lot less for fun, according to a Common Sense Media report published Monday.

While the decline over the past decade is steep for teen readers, some data in the report shows that reading remains a big part of many children’s lives, and indicates how parents might help encourage more reading.

According to the report’s key findings, “the proportion (比例) who say they ‘hardly ever’ read for fun has gone from 8 percent of 13-year-olds and 9 percent of 17-year-olds in 1984 to 22 percent and 27 percent respectively today.”

The report data shows that pleasure reading levels for younger children, ages 2—8, remain largely the same. But the amount of time spent in reading each session has declined, from closer to an hour or more to closer to a half hour per session.

When it comes to technology and reading, the report does little to counsel(建议) parents looking for data about the effect of e-readers and tablets on reading. It does point out that many parents still limit electronic reading, mainly due to concerns about increased screen time.

The most hopeful data shared in the report shows clear evidence of parents serving as examples and important guides for their kids when it comes to reading. Data shows that kids and teens who do read frequently, compared to infrequent readers, have more books in the home, more books purchased for them, parents who read more often, and parents who set aside time for them to read.

As the end of school approaches, and school vacation reading lists loom(逼近) ahead, parents might take this chance to step in and make their own summer reading list and plan a family trip to the library or bookstore.

1.What is the Common Sense Media report probably about?

A. Children’s reading habits.

B. Quality of children’s books.

C. Children’s after-class activities.

D. Parent-child relationships.

2.Where can you find the data that best supports “children are reading a lot less for fun”?

A. In paragraph 2.　　 B. In paragraph 3.

C. In paragraph 4.　　 D. In paragraph 5.

3.Why do many parents limit electronic reading?

A. E-books are of poor quality.

B. It could be a waste of time.

C. It may harm children’s health.

D. E-readers are expensive.

4.How should parents encourage their children to read more?

A. Act as role models for them.

B. Ask then to write book reports.

C. Set up reading groups for them.

D. Talk with their reading class teachers.

There have always been a lot of commonly believed but false ideas about being fat and doing exercise. Some people believe that they can’t help putting on weight as they get older, while others hold that if they stop exercising, their muscles will turn into fat. Here are some more myths:

I’ll never lose weight---I come from a fat family

Wrong! While we can’t change the body type we are born with, we can’t blame our genes for making us fat. There’s plenty of evidence that fatness runs in families, and the main reason is that they share the same habits of eating too much and exercising too little.

I am fat because I burn calories slowly

Wrong! Fatness is not caused by a slow metabolism(新陈代谢). In fact, although fat people consume 消耗more energy than slim people, they also fail to realize how much they eat! Keeping a diary can help you work out your daily food intake more accurately.

Exercise is boring

Wrong! Anything will become boring if you do it repetitively. The key is to develop a balanced and varied多样的 program that’s fun as well as progressive. If you enjoy a Sunday walk, take a difference route. If you do yoga, try a tai chi class. If you like swimming, set yourself a distance or time challenge.

No pain, no gain

Wrong! Exercise is not meant to hurt. Indeed, pain is your body telling you something’s wrong, and continuing to exercise could lead to serious injury. You may experience mild discomfort as you begin to exercise regularly, but this is adapting to the positive changes in your lifestyle and the aches should disappear relatively quickly. If you don’t, rest and seek medical advice.

1.What does the author think about being fat?

A. It is the family genes that make people fat.

B. People are fat because they consume too little energy.

C. A diary of exercise can prevent people from becoming fat.

D. It is the result of people’s unbalanced lifestyle.

2.According to the author, how can we make exercise more interesting?

A. By taking varied exercise.

B. By choosing simple exercise.

C. By doing regular exercise.

D. By sticking to（坚持）outdoor exercise.

3.What is the purpose of the passage?

A. To state the importance of keeping fit.

B. To clarify(澄清) some misunderstandings about fatness and exercise.

C. To test what has long been believed about keeping fit.

D. To explain some medical facts about being fat and doing exercise.
