Our plan was to drive into Cambridge, catch the 7:34 train to Liverpool Street Station, then to
separate
and
meet
again
for
lunch.
We
should
have
arrived
at
Liverpool
at
9:19, but
due
to
a
typical London fog, the train had to move along so slowly that it was not until 10:30 that it got
there.
In
spite
of
our
late
arrival,
Joan,
my
wife's
sister,
decided
that
she
would
go
to
see
the
Crown Jewels in the Tower of London while we went shopping. It was only after her sister had
disappeared into the fog that my wife realized that we hadn't decided where we should meet for
lunch.
Since
I
had
our
three
tickets
for
the
concert
in
my
pocket,
this
was
indeed
a
problem.
There seemed to be nothing we could do except taking a taxi to the Tower of London, and try to
find her there. Needless to say, we didn't find her.
It
was
now
one
o'clock,
and
the
concert
began
at
2:30.
she
will
think
of
waiting
outside the concert hall,
traffic had to stop, and the only way to get there was by underground railway. Hand in hand we
felt our way along the road to where we thought the nearest station should be. An hour later we
were still trying to find it. Just as I was about to lose my temper completely when we met a blind
man tapping his way confidently through the fog. With his help we found Tower Hill tube station
just fifty yards down the road.
By now it was far too late even to try to get to the concert hall before the performance began
at 2:30, so we decided to return to Cambridge. It took seven long hours instead of the usual two
to make that journey. Nor were we able to get any food and drink on the train. Tired and hungry
we finally reached home at ten, opening the door to the sound of the telephone bell. It was Joan;
she had seen the Crown Jewels, had managed to get another ticket for concert, and had had a
wonderful dinner at a restaurant near the hotel where she decided to stay for the night. Now she
was ringing to discover whether we had had an equally successful day.

You're probably used to the regular upgrades in our cell- phone networks. There was 2G, which
came along in 199l, replaced with 3G in 2001, followed by 4G in 2009. Now we're hearing about
the coming of 5G.
But 5G
is
a

but at the cost of range. Millimeter wave cellular towers have
to be about 500 feet apart. Cell carriers not only will have to upgrade all their cell transceivers
(called small cells) but will install(

At one time or another in your life you have probably done origami, even if it was just making a
paper airplane or something more complicated like a paper crane. The chances are that as you
did it, you reflected on how inventive this traditional art is. Animals, boxes, flowers, boats: it all
can be created from a single square or rectangular sheet of paper simply by folding it. No cutting,
no pasting.
But
did
you
ever
stop
to
think
how
the
same
techniques
might
be
applied
to
engineering?
Equipment that could be of real practical use? Origami meets the demand for things that need to
be
small
when
transported
and
large
when
they
arrive,
like
the
everyday
umbrella.
In
fact,
origami- inspired creations have already flown in space; in 1995, Japanese engineers launched a
satellite with solar panels that folded like a map.
'It's now mathematically proven that you can pretty much fold anything,

He
is
currently
working
on
a
space
telescope
lens
that,
if
all
goes
according to plan, should be able to unfold to the size of a football field.
At the other end of the scale, researchers are also working on tiny folding devices that could
lead to breakthroughs in medicine and computing. There's no doubt that computers of the future
may contain tiny, folded motors or capacitors for faster processing and better memory.

Recently,
as
the
British
doctor
Robert
Winston
took
a
train
from
London
to
Manchester,
he
found
himself
becoming
steadily
angry.
A
woman
had
picked
up
her
phone
and
begun
a
loud
conversation, which would last an unbelievable hour. Furious, Winston began to tweet about the
woman. He took her picture and sent it to his more than 40,000 followers.
When
the
train
arrived
at
its
destination,
Winston
rushed
out.
He'd
had
enough
of
the
woman's
rudeness.
But
the
press
were
now
waiting
for
her
on
the
platform.
And
when
they
showed her Winston's messages, she used just one word to describe Winston's actions: rude.
Winston's tale is something of a microcosm(
缩影
) of our age of increasing rudeness, fueled by
social media. What can we do to fix this?
Studies
have
shown
that
rudeness
spreads
quickly,
almost
like
the
common
cold.
Just
witnessing rudeness makes it far more likely that we, in turn, will be rude later on. The only way
to avoid it is to deal with it face to face. We must say,
meant
approaching
the
woman,
telling
her
that
her
conversation
was
frustrating
other
passengers and politely asking her to speak more quietly or make the call at another time.
The rage and injustice we feel at the rude behavior of a stranger can drive us to do odd things.
In
my
own
research,
surveying
2,000
adults,
I
discovered
that
the
acts
of
revenge
people
had
taken ranged from the ridiculous to the disturbing. Winston did shine a spotlight on the woman's
behavior
—
but from afar, in a way that shamed her.
We must instead combat rudeness head on. When we see it occur in a store, we must step up
and say something. If it happens to a colleague, we must point it out. We must defend strangers
in the same way we'd defend our best friends. But we can do it with grace, by handling it without
a trace of aggression and without being rude ourselves. Because once rude people can see their
actions through the eyes of others, they are far more likely to end that strain themselves. As this
tide of rudeness rises, civilization needs civility.

Researchers in Australia have discovered an effective new method to capture the atmospheric
carbon dioxide that is damaging our planet and transform it into something solid, making it much
easier to store.
Carbon capture isn't new, but previous methods call for the gas to be compressed into liquid
and
then
injected
underground.
Widespread

Once
electricity

is
introduced, the CO
2
begins to turn into solid pieces of carbon, which can be collected and stored.
What makes this particularly unique is that the entire process can occur at room temperature.
Previous experiments have only shown a gas to solid conversion at extremely high temperature,
which made it impossible on a large scale. Now, the researchers are hoping that their work will be
used to create even further when it comes to carbon storage.
In an interesting side benefit, the solid carbon also works as an electrode(

up a world of possibilities.

One
of
my
favorite
hobbies
is
exchanging
old- fashioned,
paper-with-a-stamp-on-it
postcards
with random strangers around the world.
The
Postcrossing
Project
was
created
by
Paulo
Magalhaes
in
2005.
He
liked
getting
mails
—
especially postcards. He thought others did, too
—
but how could he connect with them? That's
when he came up with the idea of an online platform (): There, postcard lovers
like
me
can
sign
up
to
send
a
postcard
to
someone
who
has
registered
online,
and
receive
a
postcard in return.
Along with a randomly selected address, participants get a unique code to put on the postcard.
When the postcard arrives, the recipient registers that code with the site, which then causes the
sender's address to be given to another postcrosser in turn. In practice, this means that for nearly
every postcard I send (a few get lost in the mail) I get one back. And since I never know who will
send me a card or where in the world they live, every trip to the mailbox holds the potential for a
wonderful surprise.
Privacy-conscious Americans might worry about sharing their address with strangers overseas.
But postcrossers are friendly, polite, respectful folks
—
in more than 450 cards exchanged, I've yet
to have a bad experience.
On days when the international news is depressing, postcrossing is my comfort. There's nothing
like
getting
a
card
from
a
child
in
China
just
learning
to
write
in
English,
or
a
grandmother
in
Belarus describing her most recent gardening success to remind me that we truly are members of
one global family, far more similar than we are different.
It
seems
like
such
a
small
thing
to
send
out
a
postcard.
But
as
travel
and
communication
technology
continue
to
shrink
the
world,
it's
important
to
remember
that
it
isn't
just
for
diplomats
and
politicians
to
represent
our
country
anymore.
All
of
us
have
the
power
—
and
perhaps the responsibility
—
to be ambassadors, to show the best of your country to the world.
And it's good to know that what you need to accomplish this is not necessarily complicated or
expensive. It can be as simple as a postcard.

Why did Paulo set up ?
A. To discuss personal hobbies with strangers.
B. To exchange postcards with others in the world
C. To collect different postcards from other countries.
D. To provide a platform for communication online.

A. don't know who will send them postcards B. are sure to get a postcard back immediately
C. often choose a receiver's address carefully
D. register every postcard they receive online

California
has
lost
half
its
big
trees
since
the
1930s,
according
to
a
study
to
be
published
Tuesday and climate change seems to be a major factor
(因素)
.
The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined by 50 percent on more than 46,
000
square
miles
of
California
forests,
the
new
study finds.
No
area was
spared
or
unaffected,
from
the
foggy
northern
coast
to
the
Sierra
Nevada
Mountains
to
the
San
Gabriels
above
Los
Angeles. In the Sierra high country, the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent; in
parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 percent.
Many factors contributed to the decline, said Patrick Mclntyre, an ecologist who was the lead
author
of
the
study.
Woodcutters
targeted
big
trees.
Housing
development
pushed
into
the
woods.
Aggressive
wildfire
control
has
left
California
forests
crowded
with
small
trees
that
compete with big trees for resources
(资源)
.
But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one
between
2001
and
2010,
Mclntyre
and
his
colleagues
documented
a
widespread
death
of
big
trees that was evident even in wildlands protected from woodcutting or development.
The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage.
The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated how much water
trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed, taking into account such things as
rainfall, air temperature, dampness of soil, and the timing of snowmelt
(融雪)
.
Since
the 1930s,
Mclntyre
said,
the
biggest
factors
driving
up
water
stress
in
the
state
have
been rising temperatures, which cause trees to lose more water to the air, and earlier snowmelt,
which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.

What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The seriousness of big-tree loss in California.
