                                A

        For the businesstraveler who’s all about efficiency: check out these hotels that will get youin and out with a minimum trouble.

        When you’repressed for time on a business trip, nothing can infuriate you more than a slowhotel check-in process. On your next trip, try these hotels that offer aspeedier check-in process.

        ◆Marriott Detroit Airport

        Another optionfor business travelers in a hurry: Marriott is rolling out its mobile check-inapp to 325 hotels this year, including the Marriott Detroit Airport hotel.(I’ve tested the app itself but not for a real visit quite yet.) here is thebasic idea: you download the iPhone or Android app. The night before, you can“check-in” virtually. When you arrive, you get an alert that the room is readyand your key, which is already tied to your reservation, is waiting for you atthe desk.

        ◆HyattRegency Minneapolis     

        I happened tostay at this hotel recently and liked how fast the kiosk check-in works. Thekiosk asks you to insert your credit card, similar to an airport terminal. Thewhole process took about 3 minutes. When I left, I was equally impressed withthe fast check-out: An agent meets you in the lobby with, an iPad and asks foran email to use for a receipt. The big advantage: you never have to wait inline.

        ◆RadissonLaCrosse

        The Radisson istrying to make the kiosk process even faster. At a few select hotels like theRadisson Lacrosse in Wisconsin,you use a mobile app toregister and then receive a barcode by email or text. When you get to thekiosk, you can scan the barcode to get your key without any other stepsrequired. It’s super fast. You can find this new check-in system at theRadisson hotels in Salt Lake City, Seattle, and Phoenix as well.

        As the sayinggoes, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” That’s because this healthy foodchoice is supposed to be full of nutrients. The apple at the supermarket,though, might be so old that it has lost many of its nutrients. But soon theremight be a way to check the quality of fruit by scanning it.

        Scientists atFood+Future coLAB have come up with the idea of a handheld spectrometer (分光仪) that scansfood. The machine will work by shining infrared (红外线的) light on a piece ofproduce. By measuring how chemicals in the fruit or vegetable take in thelight, the scanner can recognize the food’s chemical makeup.

        “The machine cantell you exactly how old an apple is, how many calories it contains, whatnutrients are present inside it, and even small differences in taste,” GregShewmaker of Food+Future coLAB recently said.

        For the newmachine to be useful to consumers, researchers first need to create a databasethat contains possible chemicals for a particular type of fruit, like an apple,for example. Scientists will need to scan lots of pieces of produce to collectthis data. The information collected will allow the scanners to tell customersthe quality of fruit.

        Once consumersknow what’s inside an apple, they can decide if they want to buy it. Knowingfruit quality may also affect how a store prices produce. “We can price producebased on the nutritional value,” Shewmaker explained.

        Food+Future coLABhas already created a working model of its machine. It says you may see one inyour local supermarket within the next few years. Then deciding whether you’vepicked the healthiest fruit will be just a quick scan.

Why does the author mention the saying about apple at the beginning?

ATo prove that the apple is full of nutrients.

BTo introduce the topic of the fruit scanner.

CTo advise people to keep healthy by eating apples.

DTo state that the apple is the most tasty among fruits.

        We went to theB.T Blackstone Library, not far from Lake Michigan, once a week. During everyvisit I found my way into a big reading room to touch a great and ancient globesitting in front of the largest windows. I liked to look at Africa, with thecoded colors of the different countries like the Belgian Congo and Rhodesia,and try to remember which countries were fighting to be free just as we werestruggling for civil rights. I had heard Daddy talking about the struggle,arguing with the television as someone discussed it on a news show.

        On Saturday,as I wandered through the young adult section. I saw a title: Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott. Icould tell from looking at the shelf that she’d written a lot of books, but Ididn’t know anything about her. I had learned from experience that titlesweren’t everything. A book that sounded great on the shelf could be dull onceyou got it home, and every bad book I brought home meant one less book to readuntil we went back in a week. So I sat in a chair near the shelves to skim thefirst paragraphs:

        “Christmas won’t be Christmas without anypresents” grumbled Jo, lying on the rug.

        “It’s so dreadful to be poor” sighed Med,looking down at her old dress.

        “I don’t think it’s fair for some girls tohave plenty of pretty things, and other girls nothing at all” added little Amy,with an injured sniff.

        “We have got Father and Mother and eachother.” said Beth contentedly from her corner.

            I haddecided on some other books to take home, because I didn’t look through therest of the section that day. I read and read and read Little Women. I wouldn’t put it down until the end. Even thefreedom to watch weekend television held no appeal for me in girls who couldalmost be like me, especially Jo, the heroine. It seemed to me a shame that shewasn’t Black: then our similarity would be complete. She loved to read, sheloved to make up plays, she hated acting ladylike, she had a dreadful temper. Ihad found a kindred spirit(志趣相投的人).

What can be learned about the author’s father?

AHe was uncomfortable discussing politics with his children.

BHe had strong feelings about the Civil Rights movement.

CHe didn’t approve of most news covered on TV.

DHe generally had a pessimistic world view.

        Millions of teenagers are in danger of putting their health at risk bygetting hooked on e­cigarettes, experts warn. Leading health researchers saythey are “very concerned” by the growing number of youngsters trying thedevices.

        E­cigarettes have been marketed as a healthier alternative to smokingconventional cigarettes. But previous research shows e­cigarettes generatepoisonous chemicals similar to those found in tobacco and may harm the lungsand immune system.

        Worryingly,researchers at Liverpool University discovered 16% of teenagers who have usede­cigarettes had never previously smoked. The experts also found e­cigaretteswere “strongly related” to drinking among teenagers. Study author Prof. MarkBellis said, “Our research suggests that we should be very concerned aboutteenagers accessing e­cigarettes. While debate on e­cigarettes has focusedlargely on whether or not they act as a gateway to tobacco cigarette use,e­cigarettes themselves contain a highly addictive drug that may have moreserious and longer lasting impacts on children because their brains are stilldeveloping.”

        Researcherssurveyed 16,000 students aged 14 to 17 in the North West of England and askedthem about their alcohol and tobacco use. They found that one in five answeredyes to the question: “Have you ever bought or tried electronic cigarettes?”More males than females said they had.

        Of the teenagers that had accessed e­cigarettes, 16% had never smoked,23% had tried smoking, 12% only smoked when drinking, and 14% were ex­smokers.The research also found teenagers who drank alcohol were significantly morelikely to have accessed e­cigarettes than non­drinkers.

        Among those who had never smoked, it was found that those who regularlyhave excessive(过多的) drinking were four times more likely to access e­cigarettesthan those who never drink. In all of those that drink, regardless of smokingstatus, e­cigarette access was associated with excessive drinking andinvolvement with violence after drinking. The researchers said their findingssuggest that teenagers who use e­cigarettes are most susceptible toother forms of substance use and risk­taking behaviors.

The experts also found e­cigaretteswere “strongly related” to drinking among teenagers. Study author Prof. MarkBellis said, “Our research suggests that we should be very concerned aboutteenagers accessing e­cigarettes. While debate on e­cigarettes has focusedlargely on whether or not they act as a gateway to tobacco cigarette use,e­cigarettes themselves contain a highly addictive drug that may have moreserious and longer lasting impacts on children because their brains are stilldeveloping.”

        Researcherssurveyed 16,000 students aged 14 to 17 in the North West of England and askedthem about their alcohol and tobacco use. They found that one in five answeredyes to the question: “Have you ever bought or tried electronic cigarettes?”More males than females said they had.

        Of the teenagers that had accessed e­cigarettes, 16% had never smoked,23% had tried smoking, 12% only smoked when drinking, and 14% were ex­smokers.The research also found teenagers who drank alcohol were significantly morelikely to have accessed e­cigarettes than non­drinkers.

        Among those who had never smoked, it was found that those who regularlyhave excessive(过多的) drinking were four times more likely to access e­cigarettesthan those who never drink. In all of those that drink, regardless of smokingstatus, e­cigarette access was associated with excessive drinking andinvolvement with violence after drinking. The researchers said their findingssuggest that teenagers who use e­cigarettes are most susceptible toother forms of substance use and risk­taking behaviors. 

What's the main idea of the passage?

AExperts are concerned about excessive drinking in teenagers.

BTeenagers are in danger of risking their health on e­cigarettes.

CThe harm of the e­cigarettes is greater than that of alcohol.

DResearchers are aware of smoke­related health harm.

正确答案

      How toCommunicate With Our Parents

        Hello,everyone, I’d like to share my ideas about the topic of communicating with ourparents.

        Parentsare the people devoted to us most, and that’s why it’s necessary to keep a goodrelationship with them. Here are my ideas on how to make it easier tocommunicate with parents.

        First ofall, we should respect and trust our parents. Don’t be rude to them even ifthey have done something wrong. They have experienced more and always try theirbest to protect us from dangers. Secondly, if we often share with them our life and experiences, we will know eachother better. What’s more, we can often tell our parents how much we love them.If sometimes we don’t agree with our parents’ decisions, we should try to putourselves into their shoes and we will soon understand them. Please do rememberthey really hope that we will become the best in the future.

        Thankyou for listening.
