Four remarkable inventions
For more than half a century, the Consumer Electronics Show(CES) has been the place for companies and inventors to display their newest and coolest gadgets.
Here are our picks for some of the most interesting and creative inventions. The Sweet Little Rolling Robot
Samsung has released Ballie, a tennis-sized robot that can follow you around the house, answer your questions, and entertain your pets. Since it's equipped with a camera, it can keep an eye on your home while you're away. It's like a smart assistant that goes wherever you do, rolling into your bedroom to ring your wake-up alarm, rolling to the kitchen to turn on the toaster and giving you the weather report as you brush your teeth.
The Insoles to Pick Up Your Pact
Any runner knows the right shoes are key to your speed. But Nurvv insoles promise more than mere cushioning. The insoles transmit data to a coaching app, which offers information on your technique and performance. It measures your foot strike and assesses your injury risk. The app then generates personalized workouts to set targets and help you beat your best speeds. Half marathon, here you come!
The No-Studio-Needed Yoga Class
Can't keep up your commitment to a yoga studio membership? The Yoganotch personal yoga assistant lets you drop into a virtual class any time you want. Follow along with a set series while 3-D sensors tell you whether you need to straighten your legs a bit more. The idea it that it improves your form while reducing the risk of injury.

B
\"Long time no see.\" is a very interesting sentence. When I first read this sentence from an American friend's e-mail, I laughed. I thought it was a perfect example of Chinglish.
Obviously, it is a word-by-word literal translation of the Chinese greeting with wrong English grammar and structure! Later on, my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting. I was too surprised to believe her. Her words were unbelievable at all. So I did research onGoogle. com. To my surprise, there are over 60 thousand web pages containing \"Long time no see.\" Though it is sort of informal, it is part of the language that Americans use daily. Interestingly, if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word, the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected.
Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence. Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan's movies. In the 1930s, Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a worldwide famous Chinese detective named \"Charlie Chan\" on wide screens. Detective Chan liked to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius. \"Long time no see.\" was his symbol. Soon after Charlie Chan, \"Long time no see.\" became a popular expression in America thanks to the popularity of these movies.
Some scholars compare America to a hugemelting pot. All kinds of cultures are mixed in the pot together, and they change the colour and taste of each other. Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed pot.
You can have some examples from other countries such as pizza from Italian, sushi from Japanese, and déjà vu from French etc. There is a long list! Since Americans admire Chinese culture more and more nowadays, I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future. In this way, the American's melting pot keeps adding richness and flavour.
4. What did the writer himself feel surprised at?
A. The Chinglish expression \"Long time no see.\"
B. So many literal translations of the expressions used in America. C. \"Long time no see.\" is used as a standard American English greeting. D. Finding out Americans use the expression every day.
5. What do the underlined words \"melting pot\" in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Confucius's words. B. Culture mixture.
C. A kind of cooked dish. D. American changing cultures. 6. According to the passage, what can be inferred? A. Detectives translated the phrase \"Long time no see.\" B. Cultures cannot be changed in the huge melting pot. C. The huge melting pot greatly affects all kinds of languages. D. Hollywood made \"Long time no see.\" popular. 7. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Some Chinese expressions are introduced into English.
B. You'll not be surprised at a tofu and peanut butter hamburger in a restaurant in America. C. Some American expressions can be used in China.
D. American English keeps being enriched by different cultures.

The relationship between humans and the Amazon Rainforest has not always been a harmonious one. However, recent research suggests that the native peoples ofthe Putumayo region helped to protect the rainforest, leaving it unchanged for 5,000 years. Perhaps humans’ coexisting with nature is possible after all.
The study, published in PNAS, looked at soil samples in the Putumayo region of the Amazon in Peru to find how humans influenced the land. The researchers found that the trees still growing in the region today have been growing there for the last 5,000 years — evidence that the area has not been home to cities and farmland in that time. Traces of charcoal(木炭) found in the, soil, however, indicate that people did live there; they just did so in a way that had minimum influence on their environment.
To come to these conclusions the team dug a 0.6-0.9 meter deep column into the ground, taking samples of soilfrom different heights along the column. Back in the lab, samples were carbon- dated to determine their age and then sorted under a microscope to look for microscopic mineral particles, known as phytoliths (植硅体). Phytoliths are essential evidence of plants— they remained in the soil thousands of years after the plant died. So
researchers can use them to tell which plants have grown in an area in the past.
Over 5,000 years’ worth of samples, no species loss was detected. These findings suggest that contrary to common belief, the Amazon is not untouched by humans, but rather has been protected by them for thousands of years. The management of the rainforest by native peoples appears to have been vital in preserving its biodiversity and will continue to be important in the fight to prevent it from acollapse.
As Nigel Pitman, a co-author on the paper, said: “Since this particular forest is still being protected by native peoples, I hope this study reminds us all how important it is to support their work.” 8. How did native peoples deal with the rainforest in the region of Putumayo? A. They always destroyed the rainforest. B. They had a side effect on the rainforest. C. They never lived in the area of the forest. D. They had been in harmony with the forest.
9. What did the researchers try to find in the Amazon forest in Peru? A. The diversity of the plants in the rainforest. B. The evidence of human influence on the forest. C. The nutrition of the soil samples in the rainforest. D. The survival age of growing trees in the rainforest.
10. What does the underlined word “collapse” mean in Paragraph 4? A. Sudden decrease. B. Bad management. C. Poor preservation. D. Over development. 11. What can be inferred from Nigel Pitman's words? A. Native peoples should protectthe rainforest. B. We should help protect the Amazon Rainforest. C. More science research should be done on rainforest. D We should make good use of the Amazon Rainforest.
