You're rushing to get out of the door for a meeting, but you just can't seem to find your car keys. Or you've got tickets booked for a Caribbean cruise(坐船旅行) , but your passport disappeared. Or maybe you've just come back from a grocery store tour and realized…Hey, did I leave my baby in the checkout line?
Ok, you've probably never gone to the extremes of our last example (we hope), but most of us experience slip - ups like these on a daily basis. No matter how smart you may be, it doesn't mean your brain won't turn to Swiss cheese every so often, and no amount of e-mail reminders can help you remember where you left your TV remote or lucky penny.
But now, there is a new pair of eyeglasses that can help to find all those little things you know must be around somewhere :  Let's call it Vision 2.0.
The new glasses, which are being developed in a Japanese lab under the code name Smart Goggles,are similar to a Google search engine for your eyes. The high - tech glasses come with a camera that records everything you see on a daily basis, and boast built - in object recognition software that allows them to keep track of whatever comes across their field of vision. If you've got a collection of art sculptures that the camera can't recognize immediately, no problem :  Just say the name of each item,  and the glasses will memorize them right away.
The Smart Goggles' superb tracking abilities mean that whenever you're looking for your keys, your overdue library book, or yes, even your baby, all you have to do is to say the word and the Goggles' camera will show you the last time your desired object appeared on screen, telling exactly where you'll be able to find it.
Though the glasses are still too big for general use, the research team in Japan believes that they'll be able to make the modem glasses smaller to the size of normal glasses in the near future, making them the perfect new accessory for yourself or any other absent - minded Professor you know.
With these intelligent designs, you'll never lose anything again. Except maybe your glasses.

試題分析：你是不是有時候急急忙忙出門去開會，卻找不到車鑰匙？或者已經(jīng)預定好了去加勒比海的海上旅行，但是護照卻不翼而飛？在生活中，我們每個人都會遇到諸如此類的情況，然而現(xiàn)在有了Smart Goggles的幫助，人們很容易就能找到遺忘在周圍的物品了，在本文中作者對這種新型眼鏡做了詳細的介紹。
小題1:D主旨大意題。文章開頭列舉了一些人們健忘的情況，引出這種新型眼鏡，然后再對這種眼鏡進行了詳細的介紹，由此可知文章中心就是介紹這種能幫助人們找到遺忘在周圍物品的眼鏡，因此D選項內(nèi)容能反映文章中心，所以答案選D。
小題2:A推理判斷題。文章開頭講述了一些人們忘記事情的情況，然后指出most of us experience slip - ups like these on a daily basis.由此推斷文章第一段列舉的那些事情都屬于slip-up“疏漏，差錯”，故A選項正確。
小題3:B細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第四段對新型眼鏡的介紹The high - tech glasses come with a camera that records everything you see on a daily basis, and boast built - in object recognition software可知這種眼鏡實質(zhì)上是裝有可以識別物品軟件的照相機，所以B為正確選項。
小題4:C細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第四段The new glasses, which are being developed in a Japanese lab可知這種眼鏡是在日本研制出的，所以C選項正確。

Our particular parenting style reflects our own way of “l(fā)ooking”. Here’s a great piece of writing reflecting parent’s particular ways on the parenting style that have become known humorously as helicopter parenting and submarine parenting.
Helicopter parents hover over their children, managing every aspect of their child’s life. On the contrary, submarine parents remain “hidden” coming to the surface when guidance is needed.
While helicopter parents may have the best intentions, in reality, they are raising children with few problem solving skills. Children with hovering parents never get the chance to face disappointment and build up their ability to recover from misfortune.
Think about your typical submarine. Submarines usually remain underwater. In case of a need for emergency surfacing, submarines can rise so quickly. They are driven partially out of the water. Submarine parents also remain out of sight, yet able to appear in the case of an emergency.
I admit I’m a submarine mom. My job as a parent is to have fun with my daughters while letting them explore and learn natural consequences.

My older daughter found herself acting in commercials and making more than minimum wage as a teen. To give her a sense of the real world, I insisted she spend three weeks every summer, picking strawberries and earning $3.50 on a good day.
When my youngest daughter Sondra was six, she wanted a very expensive American Girl Doll. I cut the full color 18" picture out of the American Girl catalogue and had it laminated (壓膜). “Here’s your American Girl Doll.” I said “When you turn nine, I’ll buy you the 3D doll on your birthday.” Sondra played with her flat doll for months, making clothes and furniture for her. She learned creativity. I saved $88.00.
小題1:What is the text mainly about?
A．Various means of transportation.
B．Funny experiences of a mom.
C．Humorous stories about parents.
D．Different styles of parenting.
小題2:The underlined phrase “hover over” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “_____”.
A．leave behind B．fly aroundC．watch overD．set aside
小題3:Which of the following can be learned about helicopter parents from the passage?
A．They give their children proper guidance.
B．They try to do everything for their children.
C．They teach their children how to face failures.
D．They help their children explore by themselves.
小題4:The author supports her point of view mainly by _____.
A．stating facts and offering advice
B．using figures and giving evidence
C．a(chǎn)nalyzing data and drawing conclusions
D．making comparisons and giving examples

Ball Management
Players should always keep a tennis ball in their hand or pocket during a match. Even the most patient tennis players despise waiting for their opponent to find a ball to serve(發(fā)球).
Behavior & Attitude
Even if you’re playing badly, you should not shout or look depressed in a friendly match. Undoubtedly, your attitude affects how you play, so try to have fun and stay positive.
Pace
Do not deliberately slow the game down. Play at the pace of the server and look ready. Servers also should not rush to start each point. You should re-do the point if you serve the ball before the receiver is ready. The receiver is out of luck, however, if he claims he was not ready after making an attempt at returning the serve.
For Spetators(觀眾)
Cheering
While it is seen as proper etiquette(禮儀）to remain silent during the live play, loud and spirited cheers are welcome after a hard-earned point. The players appreciate the recognition for their efforts and are encouraged to continue playing at a high level when the crowd is actively involved.
Leaving and returning to your seat
During live play it’s expected that all spectators will remain seated until the next break between games. Movements in the stands(看臺) can serve as a distraction(分心的事物) to the players and can also block the view of other audience.
Photography
The issue of camera shutter(快門) noise has earned a lot of attention in golf, but luckily for tennis fans it’s much less of a concern on the court. While the noise produced by the camera is not seen as a major issue, flash photography should be avoided during live play.
小題1:During warm-ups, tennis player ______________.
A．ought to hit a full pace
B．can place their shots anywhere
C．should not practice competitively
D．had better run around the whole court
小題2:According to the text, during tennis matches, _____________________.
A．players can slow the game down when tired
B．players don’t have to keep a ball in their hand
C．the receiver shouldn’t return the serve if not ready
D．loud cheers are not allowed even after hard-earned points
小題3:It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ____________________.
A．flash photography is acceptable on the golf court
B．tennis fans can use flash photography during matches
C．the noise from cameras is not permitted in tennis matches
D．tennis matches require a less degree of quiet than golf ones
小題4:What’s the text mainly about?
A．Some tips for tennis players to win a match.
B．What to do while watching tennis matches.
C．How to behave properly in tennis matches.
D．Rules tennis players must obey in matches.

It is often said that you cannot “teach an old dog new tricks”, but three New Zealand dogs have decided to prove otherwise by learning a skill --- driving a car!
What's even more impressive is that the three who have become skilled in just eight weeks are not special dogs that belong to some rich owners, but abandoned ones at New Zealand's SPCA.
To get their training started, 10-month old Porter, 18-month-old Monty and one-year-old Ginny were selected from a pool of seven potential candidates and moved to Animal Q, a talent agency that teaches animals tricks for movies and television shows.
The driving classes began with teaching the dogs some basic driving techniques like turning the steering wheels（方向盤）and applying the brakes. After that the dogs practiced everything they had learnt behind the wheels of a motorized（裝上發(fā)動機的）car. Then finally, it was time for the big test--- driving a real car!
Human cars are not really built for four-legged animals, so the car they drove was adjusted so that the dogs could sit comfortably and easily reach the steering wheel with their paws.
Though they all seemed to do very well, the real test came on Monday night when Monty, the best driver of the three, showed his great driving skill on live television.
Why would the SPCA go through so much trouble to highlight the skills of homeless dogs?  The reason is to show that adopting a dog from a shelter does not mean owners are getting a pet that is worse than one purchased from a keeper. The CEO of the SPCA is hoping that this unusual event will be enough to convince the residents of New Zealand to consider them, when searching for a pet.
We surely hope so, meanwhile we are almost certain that these three pioneers have at least landed their names in the Guinness World Records, creating a category that probably does not even exist today!
小題1:Who do the three dogs belong to?
A．Some rich owners.B．Animal Q.C．A shelter.D．A zoo.
小題2:The car the dogs drove was adjusted ______.
A．because is was too big for the dogs to drive
B．because it had no steering wheels and brakes
C．to ensure the dogs could sit comfortably and drive easily
D．to motorize the car and turn it to be a real one
小題3:Which is the right order of the following events?
a. Teaching the dogs some basic driving techniques.
b. Selecting three dogs and moving them to Animal Q.
c. The dogs practiced everything they had learnt in a motorized car.
d. Choosing the best driver to show his great driving skill on live television.
e. Driving a real car.
A．a(chǎn)-b-c- d-eB．b-a-c-e-dC． b- d- a-c-eD．a(chǎn)- e- c-b-d
小題4:Why does the SPCA decide to teach the three dogs to learn to drive a car?
A．To prove old dogs can learn new tricks.
B．To teach them performing tricks for movies and television shows.
C．To provide amusing performances for homeless children
D．To encourage people to adopt the abandoned dogs.
小題5:What can we learn from the passage?
A．A new Guinness category for driving dogs will probably be created.
B．Abandoned dogs are much cleverer than house-kept ones.
C．All the dogs at New Zealand’s SPCA will soon be adopted.
D．New Zealand has the most homeless dogs among all countries

It’s become part of the restaurant table setting: knife, fork, napkin and cell phone.
　  Distracted (思想不集中的) dining is the new concern with customers constantly texting friends, uploading a Weibo photo of the meal they’re about to chew down or emailing the boss. For many smart-phone users, it’s hard just to focus on the meal and company at hand.
　  Now, one restaurant in Los Angeles is giving diners a reason to turn off the digital world, by offering customers willing to check (寄存) their phones at the door a 5-percent discount on their bill. Owner and chef Mark Gold of Eva Restaurant, located on Beverly Boulevard near N. Gardner Street, hopes this gives customers a way to truly sit back and relax, enjoy their meal and actually talk with friends and family in person.
　  “For us, it’s really not about people disturbing other guests. Eva is home, and we want to create that environment of home, and we want people to connect again,” he explained. “It’s about two people sitting together and just connecting, without the distraction of a phone, and we’re trying to create an atmosphere where you come in and really enjoy the experience and the food and the company.”
　  Gold said applying the suggestion reminds him to avoid cell phone usage, too. “I’m guilty of it as well. When my wife and I go to dinner it seems like the cell phone is part of the table setting now. Every table you look at, it’s a wine glass, the silverware and the cell phone,” he joked.
　  The husband and wife team runs Eva, a 40-person space with European flair. Gold said a little less than half take advantage of the deal, and no one has gotten upset about it.
　  “I think once the server approaches the table and they’re presented with the offer, they like the idea of actually talking to each other again,” he said.
小題1:When having meal in Eva Restaurant, we are not offered             on the table.[學,
A．forksB．cellphonesC．napkinsD．knives
小題2:Why does Gold think people should not use cellphones at table?
A．Because it can cause health problems.
B．Because it will disturb other customers.
C．Because it can get a 5-percent discount on the customers’ bills.
D．Because it may prevent people communicating with their companions.
小題3:What can we learn from the passage?
A．Many people would like to upload a photo of their food before they eat nowadays.
B．People are forbidden to use cellphones in Eva Restaurant.
C．More than half of the customers in Eva Restaurant have enjoyed the discount.
D．People can easily connect with each other anytime without using cellphones.

Many blind people use guide dogs to help them get safely from place to place and to warn them of danger. But what can blind people do if they are allergic（過敏的）to dogs or just don’t like them? For some people, the answer is provided by the Guide
Horse Foundation.
Janet and Don Burleson founded the organization in 1999. They began training miniature horses to help guide blind people. Miniature horses look just like regular horses, only much smaller. They are generally less than 34 inches tall.
Cuddles was the foundation’s first guide horse in full service（服務(wù)）. She became 45-year-old Dan Shaw’s helper. Shaw has an eye disease and his sight is very poor. One night, while filling out a form to get a guide dog, Shaw heard a news story on TV about people training horses to guide the blind. Shaw loves horses and wanted a guide animal that would live a long time. He applied（申請）, and a year later, Cuddles and Shaw began training as a team.
On a trip to New York, Cuddles helped Shaw safely tour Times Square, a very busy part of the city at night. The next day, Cuddles calmly rode the elevator with Shaw to the crowded top of the Empire State Building, a famous tall building. Cuddles even guided Shaw on the boat ride to the Statue of Liberty（自由女神像）, and traveled on the subway system.
Shaw says that he is very lucky to have Cuddles. He believes that Cuddles has changed his life for the better by giving him the chance to do things himself and making him feel much more confident about himself.

One evening after dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Tisich called a family meeting. “We’ve had to make a difficult decision,” Mr. Tisich announced. “You see, your mother has been offered a post as co-director of a television station in Chicago. Unfortunately, the station is not here. After thinking long and hard about it, we’ve concluded that the right decision is to move to Chicago.” Marc looked shocked, while his sister Rachel breathlessly started asking when they’d be moving. “It’s surprising, but exciting!” she said. Marc simply said, “We can’t go—I can’t leave all my friends. I’d rather stay here and live with Tommy Lyons!”
The Tisichs hoped that by the time they moved in August, Marc would grow more used to the idea of leaving. However, he showed no signs of accepting the news, refusing to pack his belongings. When the morning of the move arrived, Marc was nowhere to be found. His parents called Tommy Lyon’s house, but Mrs. Lyons said she hadn’t seen Marc. Mrs. Tisich became increasingly concerned, while her husband felt angry with their son for behaving so irresponsibly.
What they didn’t know was that Marc had started walking over to Tommy’s house, with a faint idea of hiding in Lyons’s attic(閣樓) for a few days. But something happened on the way as Marc walked past all the familiar landscape of the neighborhood: the fence that he and his mother painted, the tree that he and his sister used to climb, the park where he and his father often took evening walks together. How much would these mean without his family, who make them special in the first place? Marc didn’t take the time to answer that question but instead hurried back to his house, wondering if there were any moving cartons(紙板箱)the right size to hold his record collection.
小題1:The conflict(沖突) in this story was caused by_________.
A．Marc and Rachel’s different attitudes
B．a(chǎn) quarrel between Tommy Lyons and Marc
C．Marc’s disagreement with his parents about their move
D．Mr. And Mrs. Tisich’s comment of Marc’s irresponsibility
小題2:Marc and Rachel’s reactions to the move were similar in the way that both were________.
A．surprisedB．a(chǎn)ngry and upset
C．a(chǎn)nxious for more detailsD．worried about pacing
小題3:The reason for Marc’s going home was that_________.
A．he did not want to be left behind
B．he realized his family was important to him
C．he hoped to reach an agreement with his parents
D．he wished to be a more responsible person
小題4:What would most likely happen next?
A．Marc would bring his records over to the Lyons’s house.
B．Mr. and Mrs. Tisich would call the police.
C．Marc would join his family for house moving.
D．Mr. and Mrs. Tisich would start searching for Marc.
