Is it a plane? No, its your online shopping! Imagine a world where your shopping was dropped off on your doorstep by a delivery (投递) drone (无人机). Well, many companies are working to make this idea a reality. Among them, Amazon and UPS are just some of the front runners in the race to have the first ever business drone delivery service.Pros:Fast. Delivery drones can cut down the time of delivery to just 30 minutes.Environmentally friendly. Companies like UPS have started that the use of drones would cut down on waste gas (气体).Cheap. Though exact prices for drone delivery arent known, companies such as Amazon suggest deliveries could be as cheap as $1.Emergencies. Drones can fly straight to areas theyre needed without using any roads.From Dispatch (分派) to Doorstep:Usually products available for drone delivery will be stored somewhere nearby. Customers will choose these products through shopping apps or websites. The suggested weight to be carried is no more than 2.3 kilograms. Once the products are put into the drone, it will take off from the dispatch center. It will fly below 120m and avoid any No Fly Zones like airports for safety reasons. Before landing, a pad will be placed in the customers garden for the drones landing. After the drone puts down its product, it will rise to return to the dispatch center. So a drone delivery could one day be just a touch of an app with your finger.Cons:Weather like strong winds, lightning storms and heavy rainfall may influence deliveries.Dispatch centers will have to be built within certain distance.Drones might be unable to land safely in high-rise buildings.Something will have to be done to make sure about the safety of the products and of people walking below.The future of flying transportationThough the delivery drone service is alive with new technology, we are a long way from seeing them through the air.

They found that people who exercised while listening to The Four Seasons did much better on language ability tests than without music.Facts suggest that exercise improve the learning ability of people with heart problems, said the scientist Charles Emery, who led the study. And listening to music is thought to enhance understanding. We just wanted to put the two results together. he added.The volunteers said they felt better after exercising with or without the music. But their improvement on the test doubled after listening to music during exercise. Scientists have shown it is true that music can be good for health. It helps cut down stress, sadness and nervousness. And it also wakes up the body and improves memory and thoughts.In medical fields, music is used widely for patients who have had headaches before and after operation. The Four Seasons was used because of its soft tempo（节拍）and better results in earlier research. Exercise seems to cause better changes in the nervous system and these changes may have a direct result on learning ability. Emery said.Scientists have been studying the result of music on understanding since the early 1950s. By 1990, scientists were using Mozarts music to help children with speech disorders. Mozart was chosen because his music is not overexciting. A study showed students who listened to Mozart scored higher marks in an intelligence test. With important exams coming, your parents will not probably allow you to listen to music. But perhaps now you have good reasons to argue with them.（1）The underlined word enhance in the third paragraph probably means _ .

Scientists often use Mozarts music for it is not too exciting.C . The Four Seasons is often used to help children with speech disorders.D .

A . we are supposed to follow our parents wordsB . students should not listen to music before examsC . we have some good reasons to exercise to musicD . music can probably help us to get higher grades in tests（4）The article mainly talks about that _ .

Many people think that in the future computers will be used a lot in everyday life. Maybe we wont have to go shopping because we will be able to buy most things on the Internet.There will be fewer books because we will be able to get all texts from computers. The Internet will be used to play games and see films. Most telephone calls will be made by computers, too.Some people are glad about these new ways of shopping and communicating(交流). Others do not think that computers will replace（代替）our old ways.Lets take books for example. Some people think that one day we wont read books made of paper. Instead, we will buy and read books by using computers. We will read texts on small pocket computers. The computers will keep many different books in them at the same time.

Maybe computers wont change these two habits.（1）Many people think they will use computers for shopping, reading, _, seeing films, and even making phone calls according to the first paragraph. （2）Why do many people like reading paper books? （3）What are the two habits computers wont change according to the last paragraph? （4）找出并写下文章第一段的主题句。 （5）将画线句子译成汉语。 六、 完成句子。根据所给提示，完成句子。每空一词，含缩略词。 (共5题；共5分)19. （1分）He is thin.(改为否定句)He _ _.20. （1分）Kitty goes to Nanjing to visit her grandfather with her parents twice a year.
