washing machine that can tell you when your laundry is done via a smartphone app(application). strange though it may seem “my wife already does that” was a common response among attendees viewing the device when it was introduced at the consumer electronics show (ces) this week samsung is just one of many appliance makers racing to install (安装) a large number of internet-connected features in machines in an effort to make them “smart”.last year, it was a refrigerator that tweeted. this year, its wi-fi-enabled laundry machines and fridges that can tell you when your groceries are going bad. the washers and dryers, available starting in the spring, connect to any smartphone through a downloadable application. the phone can then be used as a remote control, so the machines can be turned on and off while their owners is at work or on the bus. samsung says its not just something new the app connection actually has some practical uses. “if you started to dry clothes in the morning and forgot to take them out, you can go to your phone and restart your dryer for the time when come home, so your clothes are refreshed and ready to go,” said spokesperson amy schmidt. the company also says that with electricity rate(电价)varying depending on the time of day, more control over when the machines are used can help save money. perhaps, but what they will probably really accomplish is what all good technologies do enable laziness. rather than getting up to check on whether the laundry is done, users will instead monitor it on their phones while watching tv. 56. what can be inferred from the common response of the attendees at the ces?a. the machine will be a big success.b. their wives like doing the laundry.c. the machine is unrelated to their life.d. this kind of technology is familiar to them. 57. what can we learn about the new laundry machines?a. they can tell you when your clothes need washingb. they can be controlled with a smartphone c. they are difficult to operated. they are sold at a low price58. we can conclude from samsungs statements that _.a. the app connection makes life easierb. it is better to dry clothes in the morningc. smartphone can shorten the drying time d. we should refresh clothes back at home59. what is the main idea of the last paragraph?a. the laundry should be frequently checked b. lazy people like using such machinesc. good technologies also cause problems d. television may help do the laundry. (b)the day my fianc fell to his death, it started to snow, just like the bottom hadnt fallen out of my world when he fell off the roof. his body, when i found it, was lightly covered with snow. it snowed almost every day for the next four months, while i sat on the couch and watched it pile up. one morning, i shuffled(拖着脚步走) downstairs and was surprised to see a snowplow(扫雪机) clearing my driveway and the bent back of a woman shoveling my walk. i dropped to my knees, crawled through the living room, and back upstairs so those good samaritans would not see me. i was mortified. my first thought was, how would i ever repay them? i didnt have the strength to brush my hair, let alone shovel someones walk.before jons death, i took pride in the fact that i rarely asked for help or favors. i defined myself by my competence and independence. how could i respect myself if all i did was sit on the couch everyday and watch the snow fall?learning how to receive the love and support that came my way wasnt easy. friends cooked for me and i cried because i couldnt even help them set the table. “im not usually this lazy,” i swept. finally, my friend kathy sat down with me and said, “mary, cooking for you is not a burden. it makes me feel good to be able to do something for you.”over and over, i heard similar words of comfort from the people who supported me during those dark days. one very wise man told me, “you are not doing nothing. being fully open to your grief may be the hardest work you will ever do.”in many ways i have changed for the better. i have been surprised to learn that there is incredible freedom that comes from facing ones worst fear and walking away whole. 60. what made the author feel sad?a. her fiancs sudden death. b. constant heavy snow. c. her fianc abandoning her. d. her job being refused again. 61. whats the meaning of the underlined word “mortified” in paragraph 2 ?a. surprised. b. angry. c. ashamed. d. moved. 62. it is _ that helped the author out of darkness. a. herself b. her friends c. her fianc d. a snowplow63. whats the authors purpose in the passage?a. to talk about her hardest work in her life. b. to talk about her real love between her and her fianc.c. to tell us to walk out of hardest work confidently and bravely. d. to tell us the importance of friendship. (c)sports is not only physically challenging, but it can also mentally challenging. criticism（批评）from coaches(trainers), parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes. stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological, and research has showed that it can lead to burnout. burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.the early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. the sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. coaches and parents should be aware(realize), at all times, that their feedback（反馈）to youngsters can greatly affect their children. youngsters many take their parents and coaches criticisms to heart and find a flaw（缺陷） in themselves.coaches and parents should also be cautious(careful) that youth sport participation does not become work for children. the outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. in todays youth sport setting, young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. following a game, many parents and coaches focus on(pay more attention to) the outcome and find fault with youngsters performances. positive reinforcement should be provided in spite of the outcome. research shows that positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. again, criticism can create high levels of stress(pressure), which can lead to burnout.64. according to the passage sport is positive for young people in that .a. it can help them learn more about societyb. it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselvesc. it enables them to find flaws in themselvesd. it can provide them with valuable experiences65. according to the passage parents and coaches should .a. help children to win every gameb. pay more attention to letting children enjoy sportsc. enable children to understand the positive aspect of sportsd. train children to deal with stress66. the authors purpose in writing the passage is .a. to persuade young children not to worry about criticismb. to emphasize the importance of positive reinforcement to childrenc. to discuss the skill of combing criticism with encouragementd. to teach young athletes how to avoid burnout(d)putting movies on mobilesmovies in the theater get their recognition at awards ceremonies such as the oscarsbut how about movies for phones? they are getting their turn at mofilm the first mobile film festival.the first mofilm competition, received 250 entries from more than 100 countriesentries were restricted to films that were five minutes or less in lengthideal for viewing and sharing on mobile phonesan independent jury then selected a shortlist of five film-makersthe winner was chosen from the shortlist by an audience voting using their phonesnew platformsthe awards highlight the increasing impact that mobile phones are making in the entertainment industrymany grassroots filmmakers start out with short filmsthey are thwarted by the lack of opportunities to screen their worktherefore, mobile phones are increasingly being seen as a new platform for these short worksit is a good place for anyone who wants to express themselves and find a way to have that expression seen by a wide audiencejust think about how many people have mobile phones in the world!new technology advancesmofilm is pioneering content for mobile and online services that is a world away from hollywoodthe majority of films made for mobiles are now short in length, taking into account the screen sizehowever this could be overcome as technology advancesin the near future, longer films will likely be seen on the mobile phoneand there are mobile companies creating phones where users can watch movies at higher qualitywherever
