Wearable gadgets (可穿戴设备) are usually high-tech equipment, which are so small that people can wear on heads or wrists.

Google Glasses is such kind of wearable gadget. It has attracted the world’s attention since being tested this year. Users can take videos and broadcast live on the Internet. There is also a GPS system in the glasses. So if you get lost you can say “OK,Glasses, where am I?” Then it will tell you where you need to go. It sounds cool, doesn’t it?

Don’t forget Galaxy Gear from Samsung, a Korea company. It is just the tip of the iceberg. This smartwatch looks like a normal watch but much lighter. But Galaxy Gear needs to connect with a Samsung smartphone or tablet (平板电脑). Its short battery life of 25 hours also disappoints (使…失望) users.

With all kinds of wearable gadgets coming into real life, it seems that wearable technology is becoming more modern and popular. Indeed, unlike smartphones, wearable gadgets are more convenient (方便的). Their biggest advantage is that they can do most of the same things as smartphones, yet they are hands-free.

However, wearable gadgets also have their own problems. Some people are not sure whether wearing a gadget is cool. Unless you know about it, you may just think there are many crazy people talking to their wrists.

Perhaps only time will tell how these gadgets will change our lives.

试题分析:短文大意:这篇短文主要讲述了两种可穿戴设备——谷歌眼镜和智能手表,这些设备甚至不用动手就可以操作,因此吸引了很多人的注意。但是由于其电池智能使用25个小时,并且必须和三星手机或者平板电脑相连,引来一些人的不满。

1.根据第一段Wearable gadgets (可穿戴设备) are usually high-tech equipment, which are so small that people can wear on heads or wrists.描述,可知可穿戴设备可以戴在头上或者手腕上。本句主语是动作对象,故用被动语态。填过去分词worn,穿戴。

2.根据Their biggest advantage is that they can do most of the same things as smartphones, yet they are hands-free.描述,可知使用这些设备甚至不用使用手。本句中without是介词,后面接名词或者动名词作宾语,故填动名词using,使用。

3.联系前一句描述,可知此处指的是,因此它们能吸引年轻人的注意力.本句中can是情态动词,故填原形动词attract,吸引.

4.根据This smartwatch looks like a normal watch but much lighter. 描述,可知这种智能手表与普通手表看起来相似,但是更轻便。短语be similar to与……相似,故填形容词similar,相似的。

5.根据But Galaxy Gear needs to connect with a Samsung smartphone or tablet (平板电脑). Its short battery life of 25 hours also disappoints (使…失望) users. 描述,可知此处指的是有些人可能对这种智能手表不满意。故填satisfied/happy/pleased/content,满意的,高兴的。

After my husband died, my world crashed around me. My six children were 10, nine, eight, six, three and 18 months, and I was overwhelmed(压垮) with the responsibilities(责任) of earning a living, caring for the children and simply keeping my head above water.

I was lucky to find a wonderful housekeeper to care for the children during the week, but from Friday nights to Monday mornings, the children and I were alone, and frankly(坦诚地) I was uneasy. Every unusual noise or any late-night phone call filled me with fear. I felt really lonely.

One Friday evening I came home from work to find a big beautiful German shepherd(牧羊犬) on our doorstep. It was obvious he wanted to make the house his home. The children took an instant(紧迫的) liking to "German" and begged me to let him in. I agreed to let him sleep in the basement(地下室) until the next day. That night I slept peacefully for the first time in many weeks. The following morning we made phone calls and checked lost-and-found ads for German’s owner, but with no results. Saturday night he was still with us.

On Sunday I had planned to take the children on a picnic. Since I thought it best to leave German behind in case his owner came by, we drove off without him. When we stopped to get gas at a local station, we were amazed to see German racing to the gas station after us. He stayed again Sunday night.

Monday morning I let him out for a run while the children got ready for school. He didn’t come back. We thought we’d never see him again. On Friday evening, German was back again. We took him in, and again he stayed until Monday morning, when our housekeeper arrived. It went like this for almost 10 months. We looked forward to his coming each Monday morning he left home.

Each week, between German's visits, I grew a little braver, but every weekend I enjoyed his company. Then one Monday morning we patted his head and let him out for what turned out to be the last time. He never came back.

It can be hard to meet people from another culture. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal (信号). Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.

Different cultures emphasize(强调)the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in “small talk”, usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries—like the UK or France—people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants rather than at the office.

Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people just looked at me all the time and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are not needed.

Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share almost the same values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.

People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural (多元文化) environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.

1.In some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to .

A. develop closer relationship B. share the same culture

C. get to know each other D. make a successful speech

2.The writer mentions his journey in Thailand to show that .

A. too many words are of no use

B. the English prefer to make long speeches

C. even talk and silence can be culturally different

D. people from Thailand are quiet and shy

3.What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Multicultural Environment B. Cross-Cultural Differences

C. How to Understand Each Other D. How to Build Up a Relationship

When you buy a T-shirt, or a fur coat in a store, it often carries a label(标签) telling who made it or from what store it was bought.

Indeed, some labels show the dress is famous and it is very expensive, so buyers secretly wish they might be carried forever. On the other hand, buyers who deal with the cheapest products(产品) would be pleased to do away with labels completely.

However, there is another label more important than the one showing from which store the dress was bought. When a person buys a fur coat, or a jacket, from a store, a label telling what the product is made of should be carried to it.

According to the law, this label must be carried. Besides telling what the product on show is made of, the label should be in clear English and be where one can find it easily. The information on the label must be true.

The reason for this label is that most buyers today don’t know exactly(确切地) what kind of fur or material they are buying. The buyer must believe in the store that sells the products or in what the labels say.

1. The law says that furs must carry a __________.

A. clean labelB. clear labelC. white labelD. secret label

2.This article is mainly about _______.

A. making furs and clothes

B. protecting buyers with law

C. keeping the buyer understood

D. businessmen and sellers

3. The writer doesn’t agree that ________.

A. labels are not true

B. clothing stores sell cheap dresses

C. all the products have labels.

D. buyers buy the clothes with labels

4.Which of the following is TRUE?

A. A T-shirt seldom carries a label.

B. A fur coat with a high price often carries a false label.

C. A label only says what material the product is made of.

D. Not all buyers know the material they are buying.
