Supprters f this idea state that it will save lcal cities and twns mney because libraries are expensive t maintain. They als believe it will encurage mre peple t read because they wn't have t travel t a library t get a bk; they can simply click n what they want t read and read it wherever they are.
Hwever, it wuld be a serius mistake t replace libraries with tablets. First, digital bks and resurces are assciated with less learning and mre prblems than print resurces. A study dne n tablet vs. bk reading fund peple read 20—30% slwer n tablets, retain 20% less infrmatin, and understand 10% less f what they read cmpared t peple wh read the same infrmatin in print.
Secnd, it is incredibly narrw-minded t assume that the nly service libraries ffer is bk lending. Libraries have a multitude f benefits, and many are nly available if the library has a physical lcatin. Sme f these benefits include acting as a quiet study space, giving peple a way t cnverse with their neighbrs, hlding classes n a variety f tpics, prviding jbs, answering patrn questins, and keeping the cmmunity cnnected. A survey cnducted in 2015 fund that nearly tw-thirds f American adults feel that clsing their lcal library wuld have a majr impact n their cmmunity. Peple see libraries as a way t cnnect with thers and get their questins answered, benefits tablets can't ffer nearly as well r as easily.
While replacing libraries with tablets may seem like a simple slutin, it wuld encurage peple t spend even mre time lking at digital screens, despite the varius issues surrunding them. It wuld als end access t many f the benefits f libraries that peple have cme t rely n. In many areas, libraries are such an imprtant part f the cmmunity netwrk that they culd never be replaced by a simple bject.

2. Humans may have been enjying caca, the substance used t make chclate, fr much lnger than experts had thught. Researchers at the University f British Clumbia in Canada have fund that humans started grwing caca trees and cnsuming caca arund 5,300 years ag.
The researchers fund evidence f caca's use at an ancient village in the highlands f sutheastern Ecuadr. They examined the remains f very ld bjects at the Santa Ana-La Flrida archelgical site. The village was part f the May-Chinchipe culture f the Andes. Time has had little effect n the village and ceremnial center. The researchers were able t find a lt f evidence f the use f caca. Scientists had already mstly agreed that caca was first raised in Suth America instead f Central America, as they nce believed. But the new discvery shws caca was dmesticated abut 1,500 years earlier than was knwn befre.
The University f British Clumbia researchers fund extremely small pieces frm the caca tree in the remains f cntainers and ther bjects, as well as genetic material frm the tree. They als identified a substance fund in the caca tree but nt in its wild relatives. This suggests that humans grew the tree fr fd purpses.
Tday, the seeds are cked and turned int many chclate prducts. But thusands f years ag, caca was used t make drinks.
Archelgical evidence suggests caca dmesticatin mved int Central America and Mexic abut 4,000 years ag. It is nt clear hw caca's use spread between Suth and Central America. But by the time Spanish explrers arrived in Central America in the late 1400s, peple were using it t make ht and cld chclate drinks with spices. By the 1580s, Spain began imprting caca and spreading it t ther Eurpean cuntries. By the 1800s, technlgy develped in the Netherlands made it pssible t turn caca int a slid chclate prduct.
1.What did the researchers d t find evidence f the caca's use in ancient times?
A.They traveled in Ecuadr's village.B.They researched the histry f chclate.
C.They studied the remains f very ld bjects.D.They asked the ld villagers fr help.
2.Hw did the peple in Suth America get the caca 5,300 years ag?
A.By grwing the caca tree by themselves.B.By cllecting it in the wild.
C.By buying it frm central America.D.By getting it frm chclate.
3.Accrding t the text, when did the slid chclate first appear?
A.5,300 years ag.B.4,000 years ag.
C.In the 1400s.D.In the 1800s.

3. Peple wh seek cmfrt by puring their hearts ut in Curtney's ffice dn't get rewarded with an Xanax r Przac prescriptin(處方). Instead, they walk away with a reading list f sme fictins.
Such fictins as T Kill a Mckingbird and The Clr Purple teach yu cmplicated tpics like racism, pverty, bullying and ther issues. They culd als help yu knw yur wn heart and thers'. Keith Oatley, a psychlgy prfessr at Trnt University, recmmends nvels that help us understand the characters frm the inside rather than plt-driven nvels. We can learn frm a literary masterpiece, such as Virginia Wlf's Mrs. Dallway, r frm ppular fictins such as Harry Ptter. Spending quality time with these characters as yu relax n the beach r sit prpped up n bed pillws may enhance yur EQ (emtinal intelligence).
Lab tests seem t shw this. Brain scans f peple wh have been reading fictins shw the area that crrespnds with emtin lights up. Even if yu are nt a keen reader, there's still hpe. Past studies have shwn serial TV prgrams that are character driven such as The West Wing r The Gd Wife als help yu better understand what we human beings are up t. Other studies have shwn watching character-driven sitcms can lessen a viewer's prejudice.
Yu can be as witty as Sherlck, but t get alng well in this life, yu really d need t understand peple emtinally. And yu can't be as emtinally unavailable as Mr. Darcy thrughut much f Pride and Prejudice. Yu have t learn the lessn Jane Austen is trying t teach with that bk. Kieth said, "T lve peple, yu really have t knw them." Peple say yu nly get ne life, but I say read fictins and yu can live many lives in ne.

4. If yur friend says she feels relaxed, but yu see that she clses her hands int fists, yu may dubt her wrds. Rbts, hwever, might believe her. Bdy language says a lt, but rbts have great difficulty in bserving tiny bdy mvements and can miss imprtant scial signals as a result.
Researchers develped a bdy-tracking system that might help slve this prblem. The system called OpenPse can track bdy mvement in real time. One imprtant quality f it is that it can track nt nly a persn's head, bdy, arms and legs but als his fingers. T d that, the researchers used a dme lined with 500 cameras, where they recrded bdy mvements at different angles and then used thse pictures t build a data set.
They then passed thse pictures thrugh a key pint detectr t identify and label specific bdy parts. The sftware als learned t cnnect the bdy parts with different peple.
The pictures frm the dme were recrded in 2-D. But the researchers used 3-D technlgy t help the system understand hw each mvement appears frm different angles. With all f this data prcessed, the system can determine hw the whle hand lks even if sme fingers cannt be seen.
Nw that the system has this data set t draw frm, it can run with just ne camera and ne cmputer. It n lnger requires the camera-lined dme t determine bdy pses, making the technlgy mbile and accessible.
The researchers say this technlgy culd be used fr interactins between humans and machines. It culd play a huge rle in VR experiences, allwing finer detectin f the user's physical mvement withut any added hardware. It culd als help with mre natural interactins with a hme rbt. Yu culd tell yur rbt t "pick that up", and it culd easily understand what yu're pinting at. By interpreting yur physical gestures, the rbt may even learn t read emtins by tracking bdy language. S when yu're silently crying with yur face in yur hands because a rbt has taken yur jb, it might ffer yu a tissue.

5. Think "art". What cmes t yur mind? Is it Greek r Rman sculptures in the Luvre, r Chinese paintings? Have yu ever imagined it's a dancing pattern f lights?
The artwrks by American artist Janet Echelman lk like clrful flating cluds when lit up at night. Visitrs culd nt nly enjy lking at them but als interact with them literally—by using their phnes t change the clrs and patterns. But are they really art?
Whatever yur pinin, we cannt deny art has existed fr thusands f years and art and technlgy have always been tw separate things.
Tday, hwever, technlgical advances have led t a cmbinatin f art and technlgy, changing the art wrld greatly. Nw art is mre accessible t us. Fr example, peple used t queue six hurs but spend limited time admiring the famus 5-meter Chinese painting Alng the River During the Qingming Festival. Thanks t technlgy, hwever, viewers can leisurely experience a digital versin f this painting, where the characters can mve and interact with their surrundings.
The art-tech cmbinatin is als changing ur cncepts f "art" and the "artist". Nt nly can we interact with art, but take part in its creatin. With new technlgical tls at ur fingertips, mre peple are explring new art frms, such as digital paintings and vides. Hwever, it has als raised questins ver its verall quality. Can a vide f smene slicing a tmat really be called "art"?
Similarly, such develpments are making the line between art and technlgy less distinct. Can smene unfamiliar with traditinal artists' tls really call themselves an "artist"? And is the artist the creatr f the art itself, r the maker f the technlgy behind it?
Where technlgy will take art next is anyne's guess. But ne thing is fr sure—with s many artists explring new pssibilities, we can definitely expect the unexpected.
1.Hw culd viewers interact with Janet Echelman's artwrks?
A.By talking t her n the phne.B.By lighting up the artwrks.
C.By tuching their phne screens.D.By clring the patterns.
2.What des the example in Paragraph 4 indicate?
A.Achievements f China's technlgy.B.The influence f art n technlgy.
C.Interactin between viewers and art.D.Easier access t art caused by technlgy.
3.What d we knw abut the art-tech cmbinatin?
A.It lwers the quality f artwrks.B.It invlves cmmn peple in innvatin.
C.It shrtens the time f painting.D.It makes scientists the real creatrs f art.
4.What is the authr's attitude tward cmbining technlgy with art?
A.Regretful.B.Objective.C.Disapprving.D.Cnservative.
6. A lng-term dream fr 3-D biprinting is that peple n active waiting lists fr rgan dnatins might ne day have the ptin f getting a bi-printed rgan. Althugh the ability t prduce a functinal heart r kidney this way likely lies years in the future, realistic near-term gals include biprinting simpler structures. Living tissues printed utside the bdy, hwever, wuld still require implantatin peratin, which ften invlves large incisins that increase the risk f infectin and lengthen recvery time.
Scientists in Tsinghua University are wrking n a way t print cells directly inside the bdy. The idea wuld be t use existing minimally invasive(切入的) peratin techniques t insert 3-D printing tls int patients and then lay dwn new tissues.
Much f the previus research has fcused n treatments f skin and ther tissues in the uter part f the bdy, because the necessary equipment is nrmally t large t access the digestive tract and ther centrally lcated rgans. Scientists in China wanted t develp a mini biprinting rbt that culd enter the human bdy with relative case, s that they can use the technlgy fr cnditins like stmach ulcer(潰瘍).
The resulting micr rbt is just 30 millimeters wide—less than half the width f a credit card—and can fld t a length f 43 millimeters. Once inside a patient's bdy, it unflds t becme 59 millimeters lng and can start biprinting. The team has cnstructed clever mechanisms that make the system cmpact when entering the bdy yet extend t prvide a large wrking area nce past the tight entry. In their experiments, the researchers in China fitted the micr rbt nt a lng tube that can be inserted thrugh bdily penings and successfully snaked it thrugh a curved pipe int a transparent plastic mdel f a stmach.

C.T advertise.D.T argue.
7. A new internatinal study published in PLOS Bilgy suggests that the ppularity f tigers, lins, plar bears and thers may actually cntribute t their dwnfall. The researchers used a cmbinatin f nline investigatins, schl questinnaires, z websites and cartn films t identify the 10 mst belved animals. The tp three were tigers, lins and elephants.
"I was surprised t see that althugh these 10 animals are the mst belved, a majr danger faced by nearly all f them is the direct killing by humans, especially frm hunting," said William Ripple, a distinguished prfessr f frest eclgy at Oregn State University and a c-authr f the study. "This killing by humans seems sadly irnic(諷刺的) t me, as these are sme f ur mst belved wild animals."
Many f these animals are s frequently described in pp culture and marketing materials that they may frm an inaccurate "virtual ppulatin" that is ding better in the media than in nature, nted by lead authr Franck Curchamp f the University f Paris. The researchers fund, fr example, that the average French citizens will see mre virtual lins thrugh phts, cartns, lgs and brands in ne mnth than wild lins left in West Africa.
"Unknwingly, cmpanies using giraffes r plar bears fr marketing purpses may be actively cntributing t the false belief that these animals are nt at risk f dying ut, and therefre nt in need f cnservatin," Curchamp said. He suggested in the paper that cmpanies using images f endangered animals fr marketing purpses prvide infrmatin t prmte their cnservatin, and perhaps part f their prfits fr prtectin f the animals.
Nearly half f the ty animals sld in the United States n Amazn were ne f the 10 belved animals, while in France sme 800,000 "Sphie the giraffe" baby tys were sld last year—mre than eight times the number f giraffes living in Africa.
"The appearance f these belved animals in stres, in mvies, n televisin, and n a variety f prducts seems t be tricking the public int believing they are ding kay," Ripple said. "If we dn't wrk tgether t save these animals, that may sn be the nly way anyne will see them."

A.Animal images are used in marketing.
B.Wild animals are at a high risk f dying ut.
C.Animals' ppularity in life causes their decrease.
D.Effrts are made t prtect animals in danger.

8.The Biggest Stadiums in the Wrld
Peple have been puring int stadiums since the days f ancient Greece. In arund 80 A.D., the Rmans built the Clsseum, which remains the wrld's best knwn stadium and cntinues t infrm cntemprary design. Rme's Clsseum was 157 feet tall and had 80 entrances, seating 50,000 peple. Hwever, that was small fry cmpared with the city's Circus Maximus, which accmmdated arund 250,000 peple.
These days, safety regulatins—nt t mentin the mdern sprts fan's desire fr a gd view and a cmfrtable seat—tend t keep stadium capacities(容量) slightly lwer. Even sccer fans tend t have a seat each; gne are the days f thusands standing t watch the match.
Fr the biggest stadiums in the wrld, we have used data supplied by the Wrld Atlas list s far, which ranks them by their stated permanent capacity, as well as updated infrmatin frm fficial stadium websites.
All these stadiums are still functinal, still pen and still hsting the biggest events in wrld sprt.
●Rungrad 1st f May Stadium, Pyngyang, Capacity: 150,000. Opened: May 1, 1989.

9. When almst everyne has a mbile phne, why are mre than half f Australian hmes still paying fr a landline(座機(jī))?
These days yu'd be hard pressed t find anyne in Australia ver the age f 15 wh desn't wn a mbile phne. In fact plenty f yunger kids have ne in their pcket. Practically everyne can make and receive calls anywhere, anytime.
Still, 55 percent f Australians have a landline phne at hme and nly just ver a quarter (29%) rely nly n their smartphnes, accrding t a survey(調(diào)查). Of thse Australians wh still have a landline, a third cncede that it's nt really necessary and they're keeping it as a security blanket—19 percent say they never use it while a further 13 percent keep it in case f emergencies. I think my hme falls int that categry.
Mre than half f Australian hmes are still chsing t stick with their hme phne. Age is naturally a factr(因素)—nly 58 percent f Generatin Ys still use landlines nw and then, cmpared t 84 percent f Baby Bmers wh've perhaps had the same hme number fr 50 years. Age isn't the nly factr; I'd say it's als t d with the makeup f yur husehld.
Generatin Xers with yung families, like my wife and I, can still find it cnvenient t have a hme phne rather than prviding a mbile phne fr every family member. That said, t be hnest the nly peple wh ever ring ur hme phne are ur Baby Bmers parents, t the pint where we play a game and guess wh is calling befre we pick up the phne (using Caller ID wuld take the fun ut f it).
Hw attached are yu t yur landline? Hw lng until they g the way f gas street lamps and mrning milk deliveries?
1.What des paragraph 2 mainly tell us abut mbile phnes?
A.Their target users.B.Their wide ppularity.

4.What can be inferred abut the landline frm the last paragraph?
A.It remains a family necessity.B.It will fall ut f use sme day.
C.It may increase daily expenses.D.It is as imprtant as the gas light.
10. Yu've heard that plastic is plluting the ceans—between 4.8 and 12.7 millin tnnes enter cean ecsystems every year. But des ne plastic straw r cup really make a difference? Artist Benjamin Vn Wng wants yu t knw that it des. He builds massive sculptures ut f plastic garbage, frcing viewers t re-examine their relatinship t single-use plastic prducts.
At the beginning f the year, the artist built a piece called "Strawpcalypse," a pair f 10-ft-tall plastic waves, frzen mid-crash. Made f 168,000 plastic straws cllected frm several vlunteer beach cleanups, the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shpping center in H Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Just 9% f glbal plastic waste is recycled. Plastic straws are by n means the biggest surce(來(lái)源) f plastic pllutin, but they've recently cme under fire because mst peple dn't need them t drink with and, because f their small size and weight, they cannt be recycled. Every straw that's part f Vn Wng's artwrk likely came frm a drink that smene used fr nly a few minutes. Once the drink is gne, the straw will take centuries t disappear.
In a piece frm 2018, Vn Wng wanted t illustrate(說(shuō)明) a specific statistic: Every 60 secnds, a trucklad's wrth f plastic enters the cean. Fr this wrk, titled "Trucklad f Plastic," Vn Wng and a grup f vlunteers cllected mre than 10,000 pieces f plastic, which were then tied tgether t lk like they'd been dumped(傾倒) frm a truck all at nce.
Vn Wng hpes that his wrk will als help pressure big cmpanies t reduce their plastic ftprint.
1.What are Vn Wng's artwrks intended fr?
A.Beautifying the city he lives in.B.Intrducing ec-friendly prducts.
C.Drawing public attentin t plastic waste.D.Reducing garbage n the beach.
2.Why des the authr discuss plastic straws in Paragraph 3?
A.T shw the difficulty f their recycling.B.T explain why they are useful.
C.T vice his views n mdern art.D.T find a substitute fr them.
3.What effect wuld "Trucklad f Plastic" have n viewers?
