The Museum of Innocence
Love and Madness in Istanbul
It’ s all an elaborate (详尽的) and precisely constructed lie: a museum built to tell the story of a self-referential book created around the contents of the soon-to-finish museum. A tale of love and loss, but mainly madness, which is entirely fictional but in which the very real author plays a central narrative role. It is the Museum of Innocence.
The story focuses on the character of Kemal (凯末尔) and his love for a beautiful shop girl and distant cousin Fusun (芙颂). Kemal’s story is one of lust, obsession and eventual ruin. Were the character real? I expect that most of us would distance ourselves from him in the same way that Istanbul’s high society do in the novel. 1.. And this is especially the case when one reads through Kemal’s story of madness and presents himself or herself in the collection of objects that represent Kemal’s love and loss.
The museum follows the narrative of the book precisely presenting 83 displays that each reflects one of the book’s 83 chapters to accompany the storyline 2.. In this case, as in many, the items that we accumulate in our lives are the reminders to help us recall those memories.
3.. Mounted on the ground floor is a display of 4,213 cigarette stubs, each noted with a time or date or comments speaking to the very moment it touched her hands, her lips, and so became a part of her story.
Though it’s hard to match the visual appeal of that first display, representing chapter 68 of the book, the combination of sights and sounds throughout the three-story museum evokes (换起) the story in a way that reading alone couldn’t hope to do. 4.. You could surely visit the museum without having read the book or give it a read with no intention to visit the museum but, frankly, you shouldn’t pick up a copy a month or two before a trip to Istanbul, and give yourself the pleasure of experiencing the story twice in different forms.
If, like Kemal, you find yourself longing for some tangible physical reminder of the experience? Not to worry, there’s a well-stocked gift shop full of small souvenirs and Orhan Pamuk’s other works.
A.The museum of Innocence is a novel written by Orhan Pamuk, Nobel-laureate Turkish novelist published on August 29, 2008.
B.However, it’s hard not to feel sorry for the poor soul and empathize somewhat with what has been lost.
C.these exhibits convey an idea that when one realizes that he or she is about to lose his or her lover, one tends to seize onto the closest thing related to that person.
D.Similarly, the written narrative of the book offers more detailed insights into the characters and their thoughts than can be conveyed just by viewing the museum.
E.The Museum of Innocence itself, though not particularly noteworthy from the outside, is visually arresting from the first glance inside.
F.Compared with those ho haven’t read the novel, people who have read it will better grasp the many hidden meanings of the museum.

Do not underestimate the power of revision in the days and hours before an examination. The closer you are to the exam, the more chance you have of storing and keeping important information. But do not overdo it 1. An effective daily routine can help you to go through an exam period, so in the days leading up to your first exam, get into the habit of being up and ready to work by 9 a.m. It can be a shock to the system after months of working to your own timetable to be mentally alert at that time if you have not prepared for.
On the day of the exam, have a good breakfast, pack everything you need (pens, pencils, erasers, etc), then make your way to the examination hall in good time. Do not arrive too early, though, as other people’s anxiety can be passed on to you, and you may suffer from panic.
Once in your seat, simply stop for a few seconds and collect your thoughts. 2. When you first look at the test paper, spend a shot period reading through all the instructions and questions, paying attention to key verbs such as “discuss”, “compare” and “evaluate”. Map out a quick plan of points you wish to make and how much time you should spend on each question.
It is wise always to allow for 10 minutes at the end of the exam to give yourself time to go back over your answers. Once you have selected the questions you wish to deal with, begin by attempting the one you think is you strongest. It will give you more confidence when you see a well-answered question down on paper.
3. If you do need something else to focus on to help collect your thoughts, choose a fixture in the room, such as the ceiling — or anything else — that will not allow you to be distracted.
Finally, once you have finished, never hang around outside afterwards to discuss the exams you’ve taken with other students. 4.
A.After all, examiners can get very bored marking dull answers.
B.Close your eyes and take in a few slow, deep breaths to help you relax.
C.When you get home, read the examination paper through and look up all the words you didn’t understand.
D.Go and have a well-earned rest then prepare for your next exam.
E.Try not to be tempted to look at those around you, or at the clock.
F.Sleep, exercise and relaxation are all just as important.

Speeding off in a stolen car, the thief thinks he has got a great catch. 1.. The car is fitted with a remote immobiliser (锁止器), and a radio signal from a control centre miles away will ensure that once the thief switches the engine off, he will not be able to start it again.
The idea goes like this. A control box fitted to the car contains a mini-cellphone, a micro- processor and memory, and a GPS (全球定位系统) satellite positioning receiver.
In the UK, a set of technical fixes is already making life harder for car thieves. "The pattern of vehicle crime has changed” says Martyn Randall, a security expert. He says it would only take him a few minutes to teach a person how to steal a car, using a bare minimum of tools.2.
Modern cars are far tougher to steal, as their engine management computer won’t allow them to start unless they receive a unique ID code beamed out by the ignition (点火) key.
But determined criminals are still managing to find other ways to steal cars, often by getting hold of the owner’s keys. 3..
If the car travels 100 metres without the driver confirming their ID, the system will send a signal to an operations centre that it has been stolen. 4.. Staff at the centre will then contact the owner to confirm that the car really is missing, and keep police informed of the vehicle’s movements via the car’s GPS unit.
A. And key theft is responsible for 40% of thefts of vehicles fitted with a tracking system
B. In the UK, technologies like this have helped achieve a 31% drop in vehicle-related crime since 1997.
C. But he is going to experience an unwelcome surprise.
D. The hundred metres minimum avoids false alarms due to inaccuracies in the GPS signal.
E. If the car is stolen, a coded cellphone signal will tell the control centre to block the vehicle’s engine management system and prevent the engine staring.
F. But only if the car is more than 10 years old.

Bicycles, roller skates and skateboards are dangerous. I still have scars on my knees from my childhood run-ins with various wheeled devices. Admittedly, I was a foolish kid, but I’m glad I didn’t spend my childhood trapped indoors to protect me from every bump and bruise.
“That which does not kill us makes us stronger.” 1. And now technology has become the new field for the age-old battle between adults and their freedom-seeking kids.
Locked indoors, unable to get on their bicycles and hang out with their friends, teens have turned to social media and their mobile phones to gossip and socialize with their friends. What they do online often mirrors what they might otherwise do if their mobility weren’t so heavily restricted in the age of helicopter parenting. Social media and smart phones have become so popular in recent years. 2..
As teens have moved online, parents have projected their fears onto the Internet, imagining all the potential dangers that youth might face-from violent strangers to cruel peers to pictures or words that could haunt them on Google for the rest of their life.
Rather than helping teens develop strategies to deal with public life and the potential risks of interacting with others, fearful parents have focused on tracking, monitoring and blocking. 3. “Protecting” kids may feel like the right thing to do, but it denies teens the chances of learning as they come of age in a technology-soaked world,
The key to helping youth in the modern digital life isn’t more restrictions. It’s freedom— plus communication. Urban theorist Jane Jacobs used to argue that the safest neighborhoods were those where communities collectively took interest in and paid attention to what happened on the streets. Safety didn’t come from surveillance cameras or keeping everyone indoors but from a collective willingness to watch out for one another and be present as people struggled. The same is true online.
What makes the digital street safe is when teens and adults collectively agree to open their eyes and pay attention, communicate and work together to deal with difficult situations. Teens need the freedom to wander the digital street, but they also need to know that caring adults are behind them and supporting them wherever they go. The first step is to turn off the tracking software.4..
A. Safety didn’t come from keeping everyone indoors.
B. But parents can’t handle it when teenagers put this theory into practice.
C. Then ask your kids what they’re doing when they’re online and why it’s so important to them.
D. Teens want the freedom to explore their identity and the world around them, so they jump online.
E. These don’t help teens develop the skills they need to manage complex social situations, assess risks and get help when they’re in trouble.
F. The safest neighborhood were those where communities collectively took interest in and paid attention to what happened on the streets.

Meal kits(餐具)cut food waste but packaging is a problem
Home delivery meal kits can slash(大幅消减)food waste by more than two-thirds, but suppliers need to switch to reusable packaging to make them environmentally friendly.
1. That means leftovers are minimized. But while the delivery services score well on reducing food waste, buying the same ingredients from the supermarket almost always saves energy overall simply because meal kits use so much single-use packaging. The good news is that if you have meals that are tailored for consumption, people won’t over-buy and you have less food waste. You fine-tune the portions to what people will actually eat.
Beyond the cost of the waste itself, thrown-away food generates methane(甲烷)that contributes to climate change. 2. A 2018 report from the Boston Consulting Group found that the waste was set to soar by a third by 2030 when global food waste was estimated to reach 2.1 bn tonnes.
Meal kits can reduce transport emissions if they mean people take fewer trips to the supermarket. If people only went to buy goods that are unlikely to decay such as soap and toilet paper, they might only have to visit the supermarket once every couple of months. That delivery truck can carry meals for you and dozens of neighbors. 3.
The study found that even if delivered meal kits reduced food waste to zero, they would still use up more energy overall than buying the same food from the supermarket unless the energy used for the meal kit packaging was cut by a fifth. 4. All the environmental benefits are lost. But if the packaging can be reused, you can get some benefits.
A. However, meal kits are likely heading for the mainstream.
B. If it’s single-use and thrown away, the packaging is a killer.
C. In that case, you might replace dozens of car trips with one truck trip.
D. Meal knits arrive on your doorstep by truck filled with every ingredient you need.
E. Tailor-made meal kits save waste by providing precise quantities of fresh ingredients.
F. If food waste was a country, it would rank third in emissions behind the US and China.

This Way to Dreamland
Daydreaming means people think about something pleasant, especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing. 1. They can seem forgetful and clumsy. They stare off into space and wander by themselves. They annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things.
But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history. 2. Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions?
So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or otherwise looking like a fool?
First, understand that some opportunities for daydreaming are better than others. Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams. 3. And if you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while you’re daydreaming, try to do it while you are involved in another task—preferably something simple, like taking a shower or walking, or even making meaningless drawings.
It’s also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concentrate. “Mindfulness”, being focused, is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep. 4.
Finally, you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away. Therefore, it’s a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you are in the daydream zone.
Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is actually in the clouds.
A.Having interesting things to think about also helps.
B.Without wandering minds, we wouldn’t have relativity or Post-it notes.
C.At one time, daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.
D.Daydreamers have a bad reputation for being unaware of what’s happening around them.
E.It involves slow, steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm.
F.Daydreams are often very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand

Turning clay into art
Many residents bought clay figurines in the past, especially during festivals or holidays, as they believed the items would bring good fortune, ward off evil spirits and prevent calamities 1.
Multiple skills, such as paper-cutting, embroidering, carving and New Year’s painting, are used to make the figurines. Local craftspeople use strong colors (such as bright red, light yellow and green) to create figurines, to convey people’s blessings for happiness and good luck, and to embody their desire to enjoy the good life. The artworks, characterized by vivid images depicted in an exaggerated way, have attracted countless people from both home and abroad 2. Moreover, as the unique art form embodies Fengxiang’s aesthetic, literary and artistic ideologies, the figurines have high historical and cultural value.

Past generations of craftpeople did their best to pass on the craft to younger generations. 4. That has negatively affected the development of the handmade items. In 2006, China added the craft of making Fengxiang’s clay figurines to the list of the country’s intangible cultural heritage.
A.During past millennia, craftspeople have created numerous exquisite figurines, which have had tremendous aesthetic value.
B.For millennia, the figurines have brought happiness to countless Chinese families.
