Our favorite tech gifts of 2019
When it
comes time for the holiday shopping season, we’re
extra choosy about the countless
technology
products that we will buy and give to friends and
family. Here’s what impressed editors,
reporters and producers the most in 2019.
Lumos Matrix
I recently bought a Lumos
Matrix helmet (头盔) ($$229) with built-in lights to
make riding my bike at
night a lot safer and
less stressful. It’s a regular pain point for
bikers like me to make sure absent-minded
drivers see you, especially when it’s dark.
This definitely helps.
— Matt mcfarland,
Writer
Goodreads app
Although this isn’t a
gift, the free Goodreads app is a gamechanger. At
the beginning of 2019, I
promised myself I’d
read at least one new book every month. I set a
goal of 12 books on Goodreads and
used it to
track my progress, keep a list of books I’m
interested in and check out what friends and
others on
the app were recommending. I read 35
books this year! (That’s up from five books last
year.) Goodreads
feels like one of the rare
feel-good social networks.
— Kaya Yurieff,
Tech Reporter
Ember coffee cup
I drink my
coffee slowly so it has routinely cooled by the
time I get halfway through it. For my
birthday, my mum bought me a cup ($$99), which
keeps my coffee warm until I finish it without
trips to the
·1·
microwave for
reheating. I can also set the specific temperature
I want. It makes my mornings so much
easier.
— Millie Dent, Intern

Every year, the brightest
young scientists from around the globe come
together to participate in the
world’s largest
pre-college science competition, the Intel
International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF).
They demonstrate their knowledge of science
and engineering to improve the way we work and
live.
One of 2019’s winners, Katie Lu, found a
method for removing oil from water. This concept
can also
be applied to the removal of
microplastics from our oceans as well.
Here
is what Katie told reporters:
My experience
at Intel ISEF was amazing! I remember on judging
day, walking the exhibit hall and
looking at
the people gathered outside waiting to get in. My
teacher turned to me and said, “That’s the
future right there.” It was so amazing to
spend time with all of these participants who are
going to do
amazing things in the future.
My scientific career has taught me not to fear
failure and not to be afraid to ask for help. It’s
really easy
to be overwhelmed (挫败) and wonder
if what you’re doing is going to work out, but
even if it doesn’t, it’s
OK! Always look on
the positive side! A failure now doesn’t mean
you’re a failure forever. Failure makes
success feel earned when it comes. Also,
asking for help is good when you’re struggling.
You learn how to
do things a lot faster and
more efficiently.
I’m shocked that some
people are still skeptical about climate change.
It is real, it is dangerous and it is
one of
the most important issues of our generation.
Reducing carbon emissions isn’t a “should”, it is
a
“must” to continue living on the planet.
Additionally, people aren’t really worried about
their personal
impact on the earth in terms of
littering, overusing plastic or wasting resources.
If we don’t curb harmful
human activity before
it’s too late, it will be a problem that affects
all humans, not just those that contribute.
·2·
D. Simple.
4. What seems to
concern Katie most?
A. Ocean exploration.
B. The overpopulation on the earth.
C.
Environmental problems.
D. The shortage of
natural energy.
5. What can we learn from what
Katie’s teacher said?
A. No Intel ISEF, no
future.
B. All the talents are at the Intel
ISEF.
C. The participants will make the
future amazing.
D. Katie should try to do
better than the other participants.
6. What
does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us？
A. The
setbacks Katie experienced in her science.
B. The relationship between failure and success.
C. Seeking help is a shortcut to doing
things well.
D. What Katie has gained from
her scientific career.
7. What does the
underlined word “curb” in the last paragraph most
probably mean?
A. Punish. B. Control. C.
Deny.

The Underwater Photographer of
the Year, which originated from 1965, is a yearly
contest based in the
United Kingdom. As you
might expect, the focus is on photos taken under
water, whether in the ocean, in
lakes or
rivers, or even swimming pools.
The pictures
are judged in several different categories. The
contest in 2019 had over 5,500 entries from
70
different countries.
The grand prize winner
was “Frozen Mobile Home” by
photographer Greg
Lecoeur. The photo shows seals swimming
a
small iceberg. To get the picture, Mr. Lecoeur
traveled to
Antarctica in a small boat and
spent time tracking the life around
icebergs.
The photo “Last Dawn,
Last Gasp” by Pasquale Vassallo of Italy won
the award for Ocean Protection
floating
French
around
D. Measure.
Photographer of the Year. Mr. Vassallo
said that he went diving early in the
morning to take this picture of a tuna
(金
枪鱼) trapped as fishermen pulled their nets
in.
·3·
Mr. Vassallo also
took “Octopus Training”, a picture that won in the
category of “Behavior”. He says
that when he
came up after a dive, he noticed a soccer ball
floating on the surface. When he went to check it
out, he saw that there was an octopus hanging
from the ball. Mr. Vassallo says he doesn’t
understand what
the octopus was doing, but
wonders if it was training for the World Cup.
Though Rooman Luc of Belgium didn’t win
the “Portrait” category, his photo, titled “Angry
Seahorse”, is quite striking. The close-up
shot of a seahorse staring strictly into the
camera was named
runner up (second place). He
said he spent nearly an hour standing in knee-high
water being bitten by
mosquitos in order to
get the picture.
The contest has many more
amazing photos that can be viewed on the site,
along with the stories
behind them. There is
even a book with all of the contents that can be
downloaded for free.
8. Which isn’t suitable
to enter the Underwater Photographer of the Year
contest?
A. The crying dolphin.
B. Saving the elephant.
D.
Kissing the whale. C. The dancing lemon shark.
9. In which section of a website can we read
the text?
A. Arts.
B. Literature.
D. Education.
C. Documentary.
10. What is the photo “Last
Dawn, Last Gasp” aimed to tell us?
A. A tuna
is hard to shoot.
B. We should protect ocean
animals.
C. Diving early in the morning is
painful.
D. There are too many fishing nets
in the sea.
11. What can we learn from the
photo of “Octopus Training”?
A. The Octopus
is endangered.
B. Photo-taking should be
serious.
C. The photographer has
a sense of humor.
D. The photographer
is concerned about the Octopus.

If
you’ve ever been on a fishing boat, you’ve
probably seen crowds of birds following it, hoping
to
catch a snack. Now scientists use those
birds’ behavior to track illegal fishing boats.
Researchers attached data loggers to the backs
of 169 albatrosses (信天翁) in Indian oceans.
Weighing
only 42 grams, the devices included a
GPS, which enabled them to detect the presence and
intensity of radar
signals emitting from
boats. That information was then sent by
satellite, so the researchers could track the
location of the birds—and thus the radar-
emitting boats—in real time.
·4·
The
scientists then cross-checked that data against
the known locations of boats, collected from a
system boats use to declare themselves, called
the Automatic Identification System (AIS). And
noticeable
differences appeared frequently.
More than a third of the times the birds
“loggers” detected radar signals, and therefore a
boat, but no
such boat appeared in the
official log—meaning that the vehicles had likely
switched off their
AIS—something that probably
happens in illegal fishing operations.
The
work suggests birds could be an effective boat-
monitoring tool as long as illegal fishing
operations
don’t target the birds.
Fortunately, such a task would be difficult.
Around fishing boats, you can find hundreds of
birds at any
one time that are flying around.
And the birds with loggers are not marked in any
way. So it’s not really
possible for fishermen
to pick out a specific bird.
But what concerns
researchers is that albatrosses often get caught
by some fishing boats. Though
regulations have
been established to protect against that
happening—with success—illegal boats don’t
necessarily obey. So scientists might be
underestimating the risk posed to albatross
populations.
12. What characteristic of
albatrosses do scientists take advantage of in
their research?
A. Their feeding patterns.
C. Their greedy behaviors.
B. Their sense of direction.
D. Their habit of following fishing boats.
13. For what purpose does a boat shut off its
AIS?
A. To seek more fishes.
B. To have it mistaken for another.
D. To save the trouble of declaring itself. C.
To avoid being detected.
14. What does “such a
task” in Paragraph 6 refer to?
A. Identifying
birds with loggers. B. Monitoring illegal boats.
D. Fishing illegally. C. Tracking radar
signals automatically.
15. What could be the
best title for the text?
A. AIS: an
Effective System to Locate Boats
B. Humans
Are Good at Discovering Birds’ Nature
C. Data
Loggers Help Fishermen Get a Good Harvest
D.
Scientists Use Birds to Track Illegal Fishing
Operations

The Slow Food Movement started in Rome, Italy
in 1986. When a new McDonalds was opening near a
beautiful historic place, some people stood
outside the restaurant and shouted, “We do not
want fast food,
we want slow food!”
·5·
16 One day Carlo Petrini
went to a restaurant to eat a traditional meal.
But the food didn’t taste
the same as he
remembered. He learned that the peppers were
shipped from abroad because the prices were
low. This deeply concerned Carlo.
Carlo
wanted people to care about where their foods came
from and how their foods made their culture
special. So he started a group to encourage
this idea. It soon became the Slow Food Movement.
17
First, what is good food? Good food is
fresh. The vegetables are eaten close to the place
where they are
grown. The fish hasn’t been
sitting for days before it is eaten. Good food is
seasonable. 18 Good
food satisfies the
senses. It should look good, smell good and taste
good. And finally, good food is cultural
food.
Each country has special foods that make it
different.
Second, food should be clean.
Today, there are great concerns about the way
people grow and produce
food. Farmers use
chemicals to kill insects and feed plants. But the
chemicals can also harm the natural
environment around farms. 19 Clean food
means food that does not harm our bodies or the
environment.
And third, food should be
fair. 20 All people should be able to purchase
healthy food. The
people who grow and make
food should be paid fairly for their work. They
should work in safe, healthy
conditions.
A. Food should not cost too much money.
B. Its goal is to have good, clean, fair food
for all people.
C. Over time, they can cause
health problems in people too.
D. That was
how the Slow Food Movement came into being.
E.
It should be grown at the best time of the year
for that food.
F. Today the Slow Food
Movement has already expanded out of Italy.
G. This event wasn’t the only thing that
started the Slow Food Movement.

My twin sister, Dawn,
born with cerebral palsy (脑瘫), has to wear braces
(吊带) on her legs and walk
with the help of a
stick, often causing people to 21 and point.
As Dawn was the only “different” child in our
neighborhood, we were constantly picked on. We
never
had any friends because of her
condition. I began to 22 Dawn and was
embarrassed to be seen with
her. So I did
everything to get her into trouble to 23 her
being born mentally and physically disabled.
·6·

was so displeased with my behavior. She figured I
was 24

threw me in my bedroom and gave me a thick yellow
book. What I saw
in that book 25 the way I
viewed my disabled sister.

picture stood out: we were 29 each
other.

sister, Netti. The doctors make me cry. She
makes me 30 .” Looking back, I realized how
31 I had been! I had never put myself in Dawn’s
shoes! Feeling 32 , I cried myself to
sleep.
Later, Dawn came to wake me up for
dinner. I kissed her and hugged her 33 like in
the picture.
From then on, I was Dawn’s 34
. No one was going to hurt her for any reason. We
were 35 . I
am her the other half and she
is my world.

Max Bobholz was only 12
years old when he came up with the idea of
creating a charity to provide
baseball
equipment to children in Africa.
While 36
(watch) baseball, his favorite sport, on TV in
2012, Max learned that teams from
Africa
didn’t have proper equipment to play. They either
made equipment themselves or had to share 37
very few items they had among all the
children.
·7·
Max thought about all
the extra bats, balls and equipment he and his
friends had in their garages and
homes. Then,
inspired by his baseball coach, T. Williquette,
and those 38 were active in charity, he
decided to take action and help. Thus, an 39
(influence) charity was started.
40
(know) as Angels at Bat, Max’s charity has donated
over 10,000 pieces of equipment to kids
in
need since its founding! Along with this, Max has
traveled to Africa several times 41 (donate)
equipment and coach the kids, developing
Angels at Bat into 42 it is today.
Angels
at Bat has now grown to include nine 43
(branch) in eight states around the USA. And it
is the primary source of baseball equipment
for the entire country of Kenya.
Max 44
(honor) as one of the 5 CNN Young Wonders of 2018
for his inspiring spirit of giving
and
service. “Anybody at any age can make a
difference. So if you are passionate about
something, stick to
it and through hard work,
you 45 (true) can make your dream come true,”
says Max.

An anxious call came into Jimmy Gilleece’s
bar. A newly married woman, who had spent the
afternoon at the bar, couldn’t find her
wallet. She didn’t care about her ID, credit
cards, or $$150 in
cash—but her wedding ring
was inside.
Gilleece didn’t like the idea that
a theft could have occurred at his place. So he
set out to find the
wallet. He spent hours
looking through security-camera videos, watching
the woman’s every step in the bar
until she
went to sit on a chair outside and left when her
ride arrived. Within minutes, a young man
approached the bench, slipped something into
his pocket, and walked off. Gilleece posted a clip
(剪辑) on
·8·
the bar’s Facebook page.
“I didn’t want to punish him,” he said. “I just
asked if anybody knew who the guy
was.”
Within hours, Gilleece got a text from
17-year-old Prather, who admitted having taken the
wallet and
told Gilleece he’d done it because
he hadn’t eaten in two days. He said he saw the
ring but thought it was
fake (假的), so he took
the money and threw the wallet off the dock (码头)
into the ocean. Then he bought a
sandwich.
Gilleece, unsure whether he believed Prather,
told the teen to meet him at the dock, where they
got
talking and Prather revealed that he
wasn’t getting along with his family and had been
living in the woods
for a week. Judging from
Prather’s small body and red cheeks, Gilleece saw
him for what he was: more of a
kid than a
criminal.
But the police were already on the
case, and because of the missing ring, Prather
could be facing
charges. “He would be going to
big boy prison. I have to help him somehow,”
Gilleece thought.
Para. 1
：
Gilleece
paid two divers to search the waters where Prather
had thrown the wallet.

Gilleece paid two divers to search the waters
where Prather had thrown the wallet. A crowd
gathered,
excitedly watching the two divers
searching in the strong current. Nearby, two
policemen were also waiting.
More than an hour
passed but there was no sign of the ring. The
crowd gradually got impatient, starting to
talk noisily. Gilleece grew increasingly
worried, especially when the policemen began
questioning Prather,
attempting to get him to
admit keeping the ring. Each passing minute
increased the chance that they would
arrest
the young man.
Then suddenly a diver came up
to the surface of the water. In his hand was the
wallet and inside was
the ring. Loud cheers
erupted from the crowd. Gilleece quickly called
the wallet’s owner, who was wild
with joy and
immediately dropped the charges against Prather.
With tears of gratitude rolling down his
·10·
cheeks, Prather hugged Gilleece
tightly, saying “You’ve saved me today. I couldn’t
thank you enough!”
Prather promised to go back
home to join his family. Gilleece’s act of
kindness changed a teen’s life.
