waiting in lines and no checkout? or could we create a physical store where customers could simply take what they want and go? our answer to those questions is amazon go, where you could experience the idea of “just walk out shopping”.amazon go is a new kind of store with no checkout required. we created the worlds most advanced shopping technology, so you never have to wait in line. with our “just walk out shopping” experience, simply use the amazon go app to enter the store, take the products you want, and go! no lines, no checkout.our checkout-free shopping experience is made possible by the same types of technologies used in self-driving cars: computer vision, sensor fusion, and deep learning. our “just walk out technology” automatically detects when products are taken from or returned to the shelves and keeps track of them in your virtual cart. when youre done shopping, you can just leave the store. shortly after, well charge your amazon account and send you a receipt.we offer delicious ready-to-eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack options made fresh every day by our on-site chefs and favorite local kitchens and bakeries. our selection of foodstuff ranges from bread and milk to cheeses and locally made chocolates. youll find well-known brands we love, plus special finds were excited to introduce to customers. for a quick home-cooked dinner, pick up one of our chef-designed amazon meal kits, and you can make a meal for two in about 30 minutes.our 1,800-square-foot shopping space is conveniently compact(紧凑的), so busy customers can get in and out fast. it

minnesota,the usa,but us an adult i have mostly lived in europe and africa.i teach cross-cultural management at the international business school near paris.for the last 15 years,ive studied how people in different parts of the world build trust,communicate,and make decisions especially in the workplace.while traveling in tokyo recently with japanese colleague,i gave a short talk to a group of 20 managers.at the end,i asked whether there were any questions or comments.no hands went up,so i went to sit down.my colleague whispered to me,“i think there actually were some comments,erin.do you mind if i try?”i agreed,but i guessed it a waste of breath.he asked the group again,“any comments or questions?”still,no one raised a hand,but this time he looked very carefully at each person in the silent audience.gesturing to one of them,he said,“do you have something to add?”to my amazement,she responded “yes,thank you.” and asked me a very interesting question.my colleague repeated this several times,looking directly at the audience and asking for more questions or comments.after the session,i asked my colleague,“how do you know that those people had questions?”he hesitated,not sure how to explain it,and then said,“it has to do with how bright their eyes are.”he continued,“in japan,we dont make as much direct eye contact as you do in the west.so when you asked if there were any comments,most people were not looking directly at you.but a few people in the group were looking right at you,and their eyes were bright.that indicates that they would be happy to have you call on them.”i thought to myself i would never have learned from my upbringing in minnesota.since then,i try to focus on understanding behavior in other cultures i encounter,and keep finding the bright eyes in the room.28.what can we conclude from the first paragraph?a.life in minnesota has made the author worn out. b.the author enjoys traveling around the world.c.different cultures are kind of familiar to the author. d.the author may start his own business in the future.29.hearing the colleague whispering,the author_.a.went back to his seat and got seated b.knew his colleague had some

manufacturers are now moving to develop the future of flight with electric planes and personal flying vehicles.boeing is one of those companies. it recently invested in zunum aero, a company working to build electric aircraft for commercial flights. zunum is based in the northwestern u.s. state of washington. it says it is hoping to revolutionize air travel by cutting flight times and greatly reducing costs.by the early 2020s, the company plans to operate electric aircraft to carry 10-15 passengers on trips up to 1,100 kilometers. it says the cost of such flights could be as low as $ 25 each way.zunum noted on its website that, while america has more than 13,500 airports, 97 percent of all air traffic goes through just 140 larger hubs. by traveling through smaller airports, passengers can greatly reduce door-to-door travel time and avoid long security lines.jetblue was another major company to invest in zunum. the head of jetblues investment group, bonnie simi, said zunum fits the airlines desire to “seek new technologies to change the game.” she praised the company for developing “quiet, environmentally-friendly aircraft” for sustainable travel.zunums planes will be powered by two large engines at the back. the aircraft will be “hybrid-electric,” meaning they rely mostly on battery power, but also bum fuel when needed.the goal is to eventually fly fully electric planes, although most experts believe this could take many years. this is because battery technology still has a long way to go to provide long-lasting power, but not be too heavy for the aircraft.other companies have released plans to release flying cars a lot sooner than that. slovakia-based engineering company aeromobil is preparing to show the world its latest model this week.aeromobii is showing the car at the top marques auto show in monaco. no launch date or prices have been announced, but the company says it will be taking pre-orders this year.32. electric aircraft may have the following advantages except .a. lower costsb. shorter flight timec. fewer passengersd. shorter security lines33. what is bonnie simis attitude toward zunums electric aircraft?a. doubtfulb. positivec. uncaringd. disapproving34. why will zunums electric planes still need fuel?a. because fuel is easier to get.b. because battery may not be stable.c. because planes wont start without fuel.d. because battery may not last long enough.35. from the last two paragraphs, we can infer that .a. flying cars must be ordered in advance b. flying cars will appear on the market this yearc. the prices of flying cars are still unknown d. flying cars are more popular than electric planes第一节
