He assumed it was filled with food and other goodies. He tore open the box and, indeed, found a surprise inside: garbage. It turned out that he’d left home without taking out the trash as he’d promised his mother, so she mailed it to him. —Source: buzzfeed.com A Florida man drove his 24-year-old daughter to a job interview. When she came back to the car with a large amount of cash, he figured she’d gotten the job and this was her advance (预付钱). Not quite. Unbeknown to the man, he had become his daughter’s getaway driver in her fifth—and final—bank robbery.—Source: Sun Sentinel An American French with his child made a trip to have the car washed. After he ‎ got home in Massachusetts, the six-year-old called 911 to report a crime. The perpetrator (犯罪者) was his father. The criminal act? Dad ran a red light. Even though he was brought to light by his own kid, the father talked his way out of a ticket.—Source: CBS Boston A grandfather labeled his three-month-old grandson a terrorist. A question on the visa waiver (放弃) to get into America asks Britons if they’ve ever engaged in “robbery, murder, terrorism.” In filling out the form for his grandson, Paul Kenyon carelessly checked yes. After explaining the mess to the American embassy, some Kenyon family members missed their flight to Orlando because they had to wait for the baby’s visa to arrive in the mail.—Source: Guardian ‎21.What did Connor Cox find when he opened the package?‎ A.

A project conducted by Johann Siau, Senior Lecturer at the University of Hertfordshire’s School‎ of ‎Engineering and Technology, has built on the university’s InterHome project – aiming to create a home that supervises people living at home who are weak or elderly.‎ The interhome ‎“We’ve developed a wristband type device,” said Johann Siau, “which allows us to monitor the condition of an elderly person, or whoever is wearing the device. It allows us to collect data of a person, to see if the person has fallen or is away from where they are supposed to be. It connects an elderly person with an assisted living type device with the InterHome.” The assisted living project is part of the university’s wider InterHome project, which is the development of a smart house. The house stores the usage patterns of the person living there and can adapt to make it use as little energy as possible. “Connecting the two together and building the service element allow us to introduce the assisted-living idea to care for the elderly. It’s very important that these technologies are there to help and support rather than to replace any of the existing services.”‎ Built from zero The InterHome is not just a prototype or a vehicle for research, it’s a study tool to help students from different scientific backgrounds learn about and develop technology. The InterHome combines the latest broadband technology, mobile data and communication. Researchers and students make sure all the technology works together. Students get experience by developing new hardware and software themselves. It requires a variety of skills from students – electronic engineers, computer students, design students and so on. “The present plan we are working on is a smart home project in Watford with some commercial companies,” said Johann Siau. “We are looking at ‎ how a smarter home can provide extra value services.”‎ ‎25.The main purpose of this article is to______.‎ A. introduce a new kind of technology to help people enjoy a better life B. describe a new platform for students to develop new technology C. show how future buildings will change elderly people’s way of life D. describe a new project that aims to develop a smart home for elderly ‎26.The underlined word “supervises” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to______.‎ A. Watches over B. gives support to C. directs D. comforts ‎27.According to the article, the Interhome project______.‎ A. does all the work the existing services do B. aims to provide better care and services for the elder C. develop houses that mainly aim to save energy D. calls for students to care for old people C When Carly Williams was reporting on a farm in North Carolina, US, she laughed when a zebra(斑马)pushed its nose into her car.‎ Carly, 15, is a student at Nation Ford High, South Carolina and hopes to become a television anchor(主播). She is quickly making herself noticed.‎ Not long ago, she got a call from Teen Kids News, which is a weekly show that airs across the US. Carly had sent a few broadcasts she had done for her school news program to the show’s makes in New York. A producer contacted Carly and asked if she would like to work for the company.‎ ‎“All I could say was, yes, yes, yes,”Carly said. “I didn’t even ‎ hesitate(犹豫).”‎ Carly said she became interested in broadcast journalism when she was in the sixth grade.‎ One day, she heard that forest fires were burning nearby. After sports class, she went out into the forest and reported on the fires. She fell in love with broadasting, and from then on, she tried to do it as much as she could.‎ But despite doing what she loves, Carly has to face both good and bad comments from audience(听众)memebers.‎ ‎“Everyone has a different opinion and I’ve always tried to tell Carly that you can’t listen to it,” said Lori Williams, a former CNN producer. “If it’s what you love to do, it will outshine everything else.”‎ Carly’s advice to other young broadcasters is to look for support from friends and family. “With every negative comment, there are five positive comments, and that’s how I think aobut it.” She said.‎ The first program Carly anchored was about an artist’s pumpkin patch. In the program, she asked teenagers what they thought of the artist’s work.‎ ‎“I was a little nervous. I’m going through my lines thinking, ‘No pressure’,” Carly said.‎ She has also reported at a Coldplay concert and met Kathie Lee Gifford, an American TV host. Gifford told Carly to continue doing what she loves because “it will lead to big things”.‎ ‎“Getting advice from her, especially, was absolutely awesome(棒极了),” Carly said.‎ ‎28.What made Teen Kids News notice Carly?‎ A.
