Cool Inventions

For Light Sleepers

Millions of people have trouble falling asleep each night, which is why Light Sleeper was created.

Developed in the United Kingdom, Light Sleeper’s makers say it can help a person fall asleep and also help a

person fallback to sleep after waking up in the middle of the night.

Light Sleeper works by projecting(投射) a light on to the ceiling while the person is lying down. The idea is to

watch the light, because the light moving in a circle has a relaxing effect.

One of the advantages of the product is that it won’t disturb other people in the room. The product can be easily

moved and will switch itself off after 30 minutes to save power.

Stop the Snoring (打鼾)

Here’s a new product designed to slowdown the frequency and level of your snoring. The Snore Stopper has a

sensitive instrument that will detect when you’re snoring. Once it does that, it will send a very mild electronic signal

to your wrist. This consequently changes your sleeping position to stop you from snoring. The Snore Stopper won’t

cause any damage to your body.

Get Your True Colors

Photoshop features a pen that will copy the color settings of what you are monitoring onscreen to use as a color

in your pro-gram. Now an off-line product allows you to pick a color when not using the computer software.

The Color Picker is a concept pen. After placing the pen against an object, the user just presses the scan button.

Color sensors (感应器) inside the pen send information to a box, which then mixes red, green and blue to produce the

desired ink color.

1. What is the main function of Light Sleeper to help people sleep?

A. Its light makes people feel calm.

B. It doesn’t make any noise.

C. It is fixed on the ceiling.

D. Its light moves fast.

2. What do we know about the Snore Stopper?

A. It will causes light damage to a person’s body.

B. It will wake a person up once he starts snoring.

C. It can make sure a person doesn’t snore all night.

D. It can make a person snore less by changing his sleeping position.

3. The Color Picker will probably be used while you’re________.

A. using the computer

C. collecting information

答案：

1. A 2. D 3. B

B. drawing pictures

D. designing a program

B

Few sick people consider the quality of the food when choosing a hospital. Even in America, a country where

private hospitals have long provided individual rooms with such comforts as personal cable television, patients are

often still fed institutional food. “Mystery meat” and processed-cheese slices are common; everything gets cooked in

a microwave.

More hospitals are starting to feed their patients better food. Intermountain, a non-profit group based in Utah that

runs 32 hospitals across the Mountain West, has since 2019 served freshly made meals to patients. Chefs in proper

kitchens now source local ingredients to serve in cafeterias. Doctors are consulted to meet patients’ dietary needs.

Christopher Delissio, the head chef at Intermountain, describes creating a meal for a Mexican child who was being

treated for cancer. “He would not eat,” Mr Delissio recalls, and that was making it harder for him to recover from

chemotherapy. “I was able to go up on the floor and speak to this boy’s parents and him and kind of figure out what he

wanted,” he says.

The link between eating well and good health has long been clear, says David Eisenberg, a nutrition specialist at

the Harvard School of Public Health. Heart disease, which has a direct connection to diet, is America’s biggest killer.

Roughly two-fifths of American adults are clinically obese, and over 14% suffer from diabetes. The right food can

help patients avoid going back to hospital. Yet doctors themselves have often been slow to recognise the need to

encourage healthy eating, says Dr Eisenberg. Most health care remains curative, rather than preventive.

A decade ago Henry Ford Hospital in West Bloomfield opened a teaching kitchen where staff could help patients

plan affordable, healthy meals and learn how to cook them. The idea is now spreading widely. In October a

conference for health and food professionals in Los Angeles will encourage the adoption of such kitchens.

Participants will tour a new one that has just opened at UCLA’s hospital.

4. According to the passage, patients had better ________.

A. select a private hospital

B. get an individual room

C. be served healthy food

D. be offered amusement comforts

5. What does Intermountain do?

A. They prepare fresh food.

B. They consult patients for diets.

C. They encourage patients to eat institutional food.

D. They require parents to create meals for their sick kid.

6. What is implied in the last paragraph?

A. Doctors should know how to cook.

B. Hospital kitchens are far from enough.

C. Professionals are encouraged to open kitchens.

D. Patients should be instructed on healthy eating.

7. What might be the best title for the passage?

A. Hospital Doctors: the Best Quality

B. Hospital Kitchen: the Best Choice

C. Hospital Food: the Best Medicine

D. Hospital Chefs: the Best Professionals

The most popular martial arts(

武术

) today originated in Asia, especially in China. Many martial arts were

invented because people needed to defend themselves or protect others. Nowadays, people learn martial arts as a way

of keeping fit or as a competitive sport, but they are still very useful for self-defense.

Martial arts are often referred to as either the soft ones or the hard ones. These term simply a way of dealing with

your opponent’s force. Soft martial arts, such as tai chi, teach you to use your opponent’s force to defend yourself.

Soft styles allow you to use flowing movements and timing to avoid your opponent’s attacks. These martial arts are

soft for the defender but not for the attacker! On the other hand, hard styles, such as kung fu, teach you to defend

yourself using force. Techniques involve blocking, posturing, powerful hitting and kicking. Hard martial arts

techniques are more effective if you are more skillful, more powerful and faster than your opponent.

Perhaps one of the best known Japanese martial arts today is karate. But did you know that its roots are derived

from Fujian Province? In the 4th century, a community of Chinese migrants from Fujian settled in what was then the

kingdom of Okinawa. The Chinese migrants used to gather in a park to enjoy cultural activities—one of which was

kung fu. This soon caught the attention of local youths, who started learning kung fu from their Chinese neighbors.

In fact, Chinese influence on martial arts was not limited to kung fu. The very first Korean military training

guidebook was based on a Chinese version. During the Japanese invasion of Korea in the 16th century, the Korean

army needed an effective way to train a large number of troops. They adopted a training methodology(

方法

) from a

Chinese military book called Ji Xiao Xin Shu, written by the famous Chinese general Qi Jiguang.

8. Why did people invent martial arts?

A. For keeping fit.

C. For competition.

9. Which is the character of soft martial arts?

A. Using violence to attack others.

B. Attacking your opponent’s weakness.

C. Using smooth action to defend yourself from damage.

D. Defending yourself with powerful hitting and kicking.

10. Who spread karate according to the passage?

A. The Chinese army.

C. Japanese troops.

B. The Korean soldiers.

D. Chinese migrants.

B. For self-defense.

D. For attacking others.

11. Why did the Korean army adopt a training methodology from Ji Xiao Xin Shu?

A To train soldiers.

C. To attend cultural activities.

答案：

8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A

B. To keep soldiers fit.

D. To show admiration for Qi Jiguang.

Wherever we go, we are surrounded by history. Across the globe, cultural heritage is passed down through the

generations. It is in the buildings and structures around us. It is in the arts and artifacts (

手工艺品

) we treasure. It

lives in the languages we speak and the stories we tell. But today, it is under attack as never before. Not only are the

damages of time threatening our cultural heritage, but conflicts, climate change, globalization and tourism are all

exacting a heavy price. Technology is now the most essential weapon in the battle. Here's how technology is

preserving our cultural heritage.

As you can imagine, creating the replicas (

复制品

) via crowd sourced 2D images is extremely time-consuming.

Increasingly, artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms (

算法

) are being used to do all the required sourcing, allowing

millions of images to be stored in a matter of hours. AI will also make restoration and preservation of existing

cultural heritage far easier and vastly superior to previous methods.

Virtual reality (VR) technology will play a leading role in preserving our cultural heritage in the coming years.

Many of the most important sites and architecture are extremely fragile. Human interaction with these locations is

doing a great deal of harm. Wastes accumulate everywhere, causing enormous problems. As more cultural heritage

sites and objects are digitally mapped and recorded, VR technology will increasingly become the way that people

experience them. We'll all eventually be able to walk through places, look at (and touch!) artifacts and works of art

without ever seeing them with our own eyes.

Finally, our cultural heritage will be preserved via technology. Efforts in research, innovation, data sharing and

project work will help promote and preserve the cultural heritage of countries all across the world.

12. What does the underlined word “exacting” in paragraph 1 mean?

A. Paying. B. Cutting. C. Receiving. D. Demanding.

13. What is the advantage of Al in preserving cultural heritage?

A. It generates 2D images.

C. It makes preservation safer.

14. How does VR help to preserve cultural heritage?

B. It makes restoration easier.

D. It creates replicas in seconds.
