A
◆The Necomimi
This is basically a pair of brain-controlled cat ears that allows users to express emotional states: relaxed, mild interest, strong interest and focus. This is made possible by a built-in machine that reads and translates emotions. It's a kind of technology that can also be useful for athletes to determine the best state for performance. The Necomimi can be bought for $49 through maker Neurosky's website.
◆The ostrich pillow
There are times when you're so tired that nothing is better than taking a short sleep. Whether it's being stuck at the office or on a long bus ride or at the library, the pillow is designed to put the wearer in soft supportive cushioning in any resting position. The strange-looking pillow has a hole in which to put your head, and a mouth hole designed to allow its wearer to breathe easily. It also has two side holes where you can store your hands.
It is now being sold online for $99.
◆The Hovding bike helmet
The Hovding allows riders to get around easily. It's actually an airbag system that's worn around the neck, working only when there's a sudden shake or the unlikely event that may get you knocked off your bike. After winning the world's most famous design prize, the creators are developing a new and better model. Now the first-generation helmet is being sold at various sporting shops throughout Europe for about $500.
◆The treadmill desk
The treadmill desk on sale is the perfect solution for our mcreasing sedentary(久坐不动的)lifestyles. Recently a study found those who spent three hours a day on a treadmill desk became healthier. Still, it shouldn't be treated as apanacea for not getting enough exercise.
Another study suggests that meeting the recommended amount of phsical activity requires more exercises than walking. It's also recommended that treadmill speeds should be limited to around 2 miles per hour or less to make sure they can be used safely while working.
21. When a runner wears the Necomimi, it can help____.
A. show how he or she is feeling B. protect him or her from injuries

There was trouble from the start when the young American composer Daniel Gregory Mason came to Boston to interview the great pianist and composer Ignacio Jan Paderewski.
Because of a misunderstanding Mason was two and a half hours late for his meeting with the great pianist. Mason was waiting at the gate of the hotel while Paderewski was upstairs, getting more and more annoyed by Mason's delay.
Finally Mason went up to see Paderewski and found him friendly enough, but Paderewski's wife was cold and distant. Mason felt embarrassed. He complimented
Paderewski with great honor on his "Variations and Fugue on an Original Theme." Then he added, "You don't think that's empty flattery because I'll tell you frankly that I do not care so much for some of your early pieces."
Paderewski's wife gave Mason a stony look and said, "What pieces? What do you not care for?" Mason got in deeper, "Well, for example, I do not care so much for 'Piano Concerto in A Minor (a小调钢琴协奏曲)'." Her gaze was steady, "The concerto is one of my favorites among my husband's compositions. I love it very much."
Bravely, Mason complimented Paderewski's use of French impressionism. Now Paderewski himself spoke, "I completely refuse to accept any use of French impressionism. I do not believe in the modern French school, because it is not founded in tradition. It is very strange and unusual."
At last Mason ventured to show Paderewski a movement of his new violin sonata (奏鸣曲 ). Paderewski shook hands with him about eight times as he read through the sonata, singing the melody and exclaiming "beautiful!" Finally, with his music, Daniel Gregory Mason won over the master.
24. Why did Paderewski get angry?
A. Because the hotel service was very bad. B. Because Mason forgot the meeting place.
C. Because Mason was late for the meeting. D. Because he was unwilling to meet Mason
25. What was the Paderewski's attitude toward French impressionism?
A. Worry. B. Unconcern. C. Approval. D. Disapproval.
26. Mason gained Paderewski's special respect in the end because of_
A. his musical talent B. his sweet talk
C. his mental endurance D. his frank criticism
27. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Arguing with the master B. Winning over the master
C. Criticizing great pieces D. Talking about writing styles
C
Dancing antelopes(羚羊)
Long ago many African people did not write down their histories. They remembered things from the past by singing songs, dancing, acting, and telling stories - and by making works of art.
In Mali, a group of people called the Bamana believed that long ago, a special being called Chiwara used magical powers to teach the people to farm. To remember their ancestors and to honor the powers of Chiwara, Bamana artists carved tall wooden figures shaped like antelopes, designed to be worn on top of the head. During planting and harvest festivals, young men hid their bodies under costumes, wore these tall headdresses, and performed a dance like leaping antelopes. The dance told the story of Chiwara.
Bamana artists didn't try to make their sculptures look exactly like real antelopes. Instead, they suggested the shape of the antelope's body with big, thick curves.
Sculptures in clay and bronze
The Yoruba people of West Africa lived in the city of Ife. From about A.D. 1000 to 1500, artists in Ife carved beautiful sculptures.
Ife sculptures are made of brass (a metal) and terra cotta (red clay baked in a hot fire). Ife sculptors made sculptures that looked like real people, with delicate features, serious expressions, and eyes that stare straight ahead.
To make this brass head, the sculptor first shaped the head, using a mixture of sand and clay. He covered it with a thin layer of beeswax(蜂蜡). Next, using a knife made of bone, he carved the details of the face into the beeswax, then covered it all with a thin layer of clay.
When he put the sculpture on a hot fire, what do you think happened? The beeswax melted and flowed away, leaving a thin hollow space between two face-shaped shells of clay. The sculptor then poured hot melted brass into the space. After the brass cooled, he broke the clay shells. What remained was this brass sculpture.
28. According to the text, ancient African people made artworks to
A. decorate their homes B. celebrate festivals
C. record their histories D. entertain themselves
29. How did the Bamana remember Chiwara?
A. They were dressed as Chiwara.
B. They made costumes in the way Chiwara had taught them.
C. They passed the story of Chiwara down to each new generation.
D. They danced wearing antelope headdresses.
30. The last paragraph is mainly about .
A. the process of making the sculptures B. the materials used to make the sculptures
C. the principle of making the sculptures D. the tools used to make the sculptures
31. What do Mali and Ife sculptures have in common?
A. Both of them are shaped with big, thick curves.
B. Both of them are examples of African art.
C. Both of them can be worn by people.
D. Both of them represent real beings.
D
Citizen science projects are designed to get the average observer involved in the world around them. But what if it could help students discover new interests, narrow down their focus in school, and - perhaps most importantly - set them apart in the university application process? University professors believe this is exactly what they can do.
These projects ask networks of non-scientific volunteers - also known as crowdsourcing - to examine scientific questions, collect information and create databases to help researchers make unusual and important discoveries that may be too challenging to complete alone.
"I work a lot on endangered species - and they're very difficult to study because as you can imagine, they're rare and you're going to come across them infrequently," says Mark Poesch, a professor at the University of Alberta's department of renewable resources.
His citizen science project, the Report-a-Fish tool, allows people to upload to his website a photograph of a fish they've seen or caught. Dr. Poesch can then use this tool to create a more extensive database about the locations of various fish species and determine a more accurate picture of their numbers. "By crowdsourcing, we can get a better sense of where these fish are in particular," he says.
These projects are open to anyone, as the aim is to ';break down the model of the ivory tower," Poesch says. But students may get more out of the experience than they realize at first because it's this type of hands-on learning experience that allows these students to stand out in the competitive university application process. "We want students to come in with some kind of on-the-ground knowledge and this is one opportunity for them to gain that
knowledge," Poesch says.
"Once you hit university, there're lots of opportunities that come your way, but for a high school student it's better to get in early," Poesch says. "It's a very competitive atmosphere now, and so anything they could put on their application that would tell researchers that they are really involved will help them."
32. What is one of Mark Poesch's difficulties in his study on endangered species?
A. It is dangerous to study them. B. It is difficult to find them.
C. Scientists know very little about them. D. Most collected data are imagined.
33. The Report-a-Fish tool is aimed at .
A. studying the senses of fish B. drawing better pictures of fish
C. collecting information about fish D. helping people catch more fish
34. The underlined word "they" in the last paragraph refers to _ .
A. university students B. researchers
C. educators D. high school students
35. High school students who have done crowdsourcing _
A. know more about the university application process
B. tend to have more job opportunities
C. are more likely to be admitted into universities
D. may have more knowledge about universities
