Fang Husheng is a bright, lively, 82-year-old woman from Beijing who is learning to use a smartphone, but it’s been a struggle.“Technology advances so fast.What is supposed to make life easier is instead causing problems for us old people,” she says.
Fang grew up in a simpler age when you had to actually leave your house to shop, buy a train ticket or make a doctor’s appointment.Now all of these things can be done with a smartphone and, in some cases, only with a smartphone.Recently an elderly man in Dalian was unable to travel on the subway because, to enter the subway, his QR health code needed to be scanned.“What is a QR code?” the man asked.“I have money to buy a ticket, why do I need a smartphone?” In the end, he left the station, feeling confused and embarrassed.
I can certainly sympathize with (同情) Fang and the man from Dalian.They have spent their entire lives contributing to society and now they feel excluded from that society.But what can be done? One group of volunteer college students is trying to help.They are called See Young and they help the elderly learn how to use smartphones.However, teaching old folks about smartphones is only one part of the problem.
Many older people have physical and health issues.Poor eyesight makes reading characters on small screens difficult.And “leathery fingers” (it means their fingers are less sensitive) make it hard to use touch screens.
There are about 255 million elderly people in China and by 2030, one quarter of the population will be over 60 years of age.New technology and new solutions are going to be needed to make sure that these old folks aren’t left by the side of the road as the rest of society races past.

【推荐1】Will you buy a car that can release calming smells into the air when you are stuck in heavy traffic? Will you buy a robot that smells like a human being?
Many people have see the 3-D computer-made environments of virtual (虚拟的) reality (VR). Now these virtual worlds will not just look and sound real. Researchers have created VR environments that even smell like the real things. With the new technology environment, like a rainforest. After they enter this virtual world, special equipment releases forest- like smells into the air to make the experience seem more real.
Suzanne Fisher said,“It is a really wonderful experience that you have because you are reexploring this environment and you have smells with it”.
In the United States,Smell-o-vision was designed to provide smells during the showing of a movie. The Smell-o-vision system was once popular in the 1960s. Now, Emanuela Maggioni says it is close to becoming popular again. “People will be impressed by the connection with emotions, memories, and the sense of smell,” Maggioni said “It is unbelievable what we can do with technology.”
The uses for smell technology are not just limited to films and the performing arts. Researchers showed a computer program where users could imagine themselves driving a car. The system included a special smell-spraying machine. Dmitri Murray said “ We want to deliver the smell of lavender(薰衣草) every time the person drives over the speed limit. We choose lavender because it's a very calming smell.”
Scientists are experimenting with smells instead of sounds or image-based warnings on telecommunications equipment. And businesses are already using smell to influence people's behavior .“ Not only… in stores… But on the other side, you can create and stimulate (刺激) immediate buying ,” Maggioni said. “So you're in a library and you smell coffee and actually you are unconsciously having the need to drink a coffee.”

【推荐2】When it’s time for a wardrobe makeover (形象改造), who’s the best person to give you some advice? You’ll probably turn to your friend for some feedback and fashion tips — they know you best and can offer an honest opinion about which colours don’t match and which outfit makes you look pretty.
However for someone like me, who’s not a follower of fashion and has a more practical dress sense, I don’t need help-it’s just jeans or... jeans! But for people who care about their appearance, they can now get some trustworthy advice with the aid of technology.
Of course, using social media is a good way when you are at a loss about fashion, but this—sometimes brings in too much conflicting advice and opinions that are sometimes straightforward! That’s why one woman has developed an app to help women crowdsource advice from stylists in a safe, non-violent communication environment.
Sophia Matveeva’s Style Counsel app allows users to post a photo and receive “yes” or “no” answers from other users, or more detailed advice from fashion stylists and bloggers very quickly. According to Mathew Wall, BBC Technology of Business editor, this is a growing business; with several new apps such as AskAnna, Mallzee and StyleDotMe all offering young women tips on suitable and fashionable clothes to wear.
There’s also a website called EyeFitU which finds clothes to fit your figure. Its chief executive, Isabelle Ohnemus, says there are no international standards in clothes sizes but she explains, “We can set up your size profile in a few seconds with 80% accuracy just knowing your gender, height, weight and age”. This information is used to find clothes that suit your actual shape. And the internet giant, Amazon, has also developed a camera that links to a “style check” function that compares photos and gives its opinion of which outfit is better, based on fit, colour, style and current fashion trends.
But does technology make fashion advice a bit impersonal? Sophia Matveeva admits that women in particular are social creatures and that “AI will never stop us talking to each other. . . girls will always want the approval of the cool girl at school.” But as for me: an app with someone I don’t know could be the place to start with some careful-in-speech fashion tips!

【推荐3】The Beijing 2022 Olympics earns high marks for sustainable artificial snow. Kit McConnell, sports director of the International Olympic Committee, said the participants believe the artificial snow is outstanding. “The focus is on doing this in a sustainable way, and also ensuring the athletes have an outstanding field of play on which to compete at the Olympic level,” McConnell said.
Artificial snow gives the courses a better and more stable quality. Different from natural snow, certain qualities including particle size, the proportion of water content, and the hardness can be easily changed in creating the artificial snow, to meet the qualities and needs of different competition venues. Natural snow with a very low density cannot be used for competitions as it falls off more easily and brings safety risks.
Though the artificial snow has been used for the Beijing 2022 Olympics, a few years ago China had barely any experience in making artificial snow for the Games. Wang Feiteng, a member of the snow-making team of experts for Beijing 2022, developed a localized snow production and service technology that is suitable to China’s climate with other team members after three years of experiments. The success breaks the key snow-making technology blockade.
Following the Winter Games, artificial snow technology can also be useful. Regulating the temperature within a specific range can maintain the growth of crops in the areas where global warming has had an impact. In high-altitude areas, the application of artificial snow can not only reduce the melting process of snow, but also control water flow, preventing floods and droughts from happening.
1. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 1 refer to?A.Producing man-made snow. | B.Designing ski race tracks. |
C.Ensuring participants get enough training. | D.Helping athletes adapt to China’s climate. |
A.it is too heavy | B.it is hard to store |
C.it cannot keep courses safe | D.it cannot be recycled after the Games |

【推荐1】Everyone has a phone in their pocket nowadays, but how often do we really use them for their original purpose — to make a call? Telephone culture is disappearing. What brought us to this moment, and what are its effects?
“No one picks up the phone anymore,” wrote Alex C. Madrigal on The Atlantic. “The reflex (习惯性动作) of answering — built so deeply into people who grew up in 20th-century telephonic culture — is gone.”
The shift is of course due in large part to more communication options: Texting with photos, videos, emojis, reaction Gifs, links and even voice messages can be a more attractive option.
Texting is light and fun, not nearly as demanding of your attention as a phone call. It can also be done with multiple people at the same time. Social media, email and video calls have also eaten away at traditional phone calls.
In recent years, another reason has caused people to ignore phone calls completely: robocalls. Robocalls are automated messages from organizations verifying (核实) your phone number or telemarketers trying to sell something. Americans received 22.8 billion robocalls halfway through 2020, equaling an annual rate of 45.6 billion, slightly below 2018 numbers, according to You-Mail, a robocall protection service and blocking app.
As telephone culture disappears, what is the loss of a singular family phone doing to the family unit? Early landline phones unified family members, whereas mobile phones isolate (使隔绝) them.
“The shared family phone served as an anchor (给以安全感的物品) for home,” said Luke Fernandez, a Weber State University computer-science professor and co-author of Bored, Lonely, Angry, Stupid: Feelings About Technology, From the Telegraph to Twitter. With smartphones, “we have gained mobility and privacy. But the value of the home has been diminished, as has its capacity to guide and monitor family behavior and perhaps bind families more closely together,” Femandez said.
Of course, as technology progresses, lives always change for better or for worse. With the loss of telephone culture, families will need to find other ways to unite.
1. What has caused the traditional telephone to lose its appeal according to the text?A.People’s addiction to social media. | B.People’s preference for robocalls. |

【推荐2】San Francisco residents may notice something missing the next time they hail a taxi—no driver at the wheel. On June 2, 2022, Cruise, a division of General Motors (GM), was approved to charge for rides in its autonomous cars. Waymo, owned by Google’s parent company, Alphabet, has been offering a similar service in Chandler, Arizona, since October 2020. However, Cruise is the first company allowed to operate commercial driverless cars in a major US city.
The first-of-its-kind permit comes with some restrictions. Cruise vehicles will be limited to transporting passengers in less crowded areas of the city between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. The self-driving cars should not exceed a speed of 30 mph. They are also not allowed to operate in heavy rain or fog. The rules are meant to reduce any injuries or accidents.
Cruise plans to launch the service gradually with a fleet of just 30 cars. The first robotaxis will be modified (修改的) versions of GM’s Chevrolet Bolt. However, the company is seeking approval to get its custom- built Cruise Origin on public roads. The autonomous electric vehicle has no steering wheel or pedals (踏板) and can attain highway speeds. The car’s roomy interior is fitted with seats that face each other.
Cruise’s ability to obtain the commercial permit to operate is a big step forward. However, the company still has to convince passengers that its technology is safe. A 2021 survey by the American Automobile Association found that 74 percent of Americans are afraid to ride in a self-driving vehicle.
Regardless of whether the program is successful, its initiation is a significant milestone for Cruise. Waymo is still working on ensuring its self-driving vehicles are safe on busy street roads. Uber and Tesla have both announced plans to launch autonomous ride-hailing services. Neither have succeeded thus far.

【推荐3】Weather reports often mention high or low pressure systems headed toward a city or town. If you’re in the path of one of these systems, expect a change in weather conditions. High and low pressure systems operate using similar principles, but the effects they produce differ significantly.
View a weather map, and you may see distinct regions that represent different air masses. An air mass is a region of air that has about the same humidity(湿度)and temperature throughout. When an air mass remains over a location for a while, it decides the characteristics of the region. Air masses can be cold or warm and they may contain wet or dry air. All air masses have the ability to move away from their source region into other locations.
Meteorologists(气象学家)call the boundary between two air masses a front. A cold front’s motion through a warm front is a low-pressure system. If a cold air mass replaces a warm air mass, you have a cold front. Air in the cold air mass is often drier than air in front of it. As the air masses meet, the wind u- sually changes direction and rain or thunderstorms often occur.
A warm front is associated with a high-pressure system and occurs when a warm air mass replaces a colder air mass. A high-pressure system often brings clear, calm weather. Warm fronts travel slowly and are weaker than cold fronts.
Cold fronts move faster than warm fronts because a cold front contains denser air. Cold fronts also of- ten travel from west to east while warm fronts move from north to south. As a warm front approaches, temperatures may rise as warmer air flows in from a warm air mass. However, when the cold front hits, temperatures can drop precipitously within a short time.

【推荐1】It was late, about 10:15 p. m. Esposito got off the train at Bellport, New York, went to her car and started driving home. She was so familiar with the route that she almost drove automatically: turned left to the Station Road, then another left onto Montauk Highway, and then-bam! When Esposito's car had just crossed the railroad tracks, it hit another vehicle and was plashed back onto the tracks. Injured but mostly shocked by the crash and by the airbags that popped up, she was stuck in the vehicle.
As it happened, Pete DiPinto was just about to go to sleep when he heard a sharp noise and saw the accident not far outside his bedroom window. As a volunteer firefighter and retired teacher, DiPinto, who was 65, fetched a flash light and rushed out without hesitation. "Any firefighter would have done what I did," he said, "We're always on duty. "
At first, he spotted the other car in the accident. After making sure that the driver was all right. DiPinto looked around and discovered Esposito's car straddling(横跨)the railway tracks. And then he heard the bell ring, which signaled a train's arrival.
DiPinto rushed to Esposito's car and broke the window on the driver's side. Esposito looked up at him, with her eyes glazing over. "I don't know where I am,” she said.
"You're on the railroad tracks," DiPinto yelled. "I have to get you off right now!" The train was running toward them at a speed of some 105 kilometers per hour. The driver's door cannot be opened due to the collision, so DiPinto quickly ran to the other side and managed to open the door. He put the airbags aside, seized her arms, pulled her toward him across the passenger seat until finally got her out and walked her to safety as swiftly as possible. Several seconds later, the train crashed into the vehicle. "It was like a Hollywood movie, " DiPinto told reporters the next day.

【推荐3】Astronauts in America who fly into space need special training. First they go to Huston, Texas. That is the home of the Johnson Space Center. There they are tested to see how strong and smart they are.
The first test is for the heart. The people walk or run, and then the space doctors see how fast their hearts beat.
Another important test is performance. In this test, the person must curl (蜷曲) his body up in a ball. When he is in that position (姿势), he is put into a round cloth bag. The doctors give him no idea how long he will have to stay in the bag. If a spaceship broke down in space, the astronauts would get into bags like this. Then they would have to wait and curl up in darkness until help could arrive. You can see that an astronaut must not be afraid of tight space or darkness.
After the tests, only the best people are chosen to start astronaut training in a training center. The astronauts in training learn many other things. They learn how to jump out of a moving airplane. They learn to blow up a lifeboat and get into it while they are in the ocean. The astronauts also have to learn how to get lifted out of the ocean by helicopter . That seems fun, but it can be dangerous.
After they finish training, the astronauts continue to work. They stay in good shape by running and doing exercise. They read about their special jobs. In this way, they can learn new facts about space travel. Then the big day comes. The astronauts are told to go to work on a flight into space.

【推荐1】A new study, a project of the researchers from the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania, finds that a fitness tracker (健康追踪器) probably does not help with weight loss.
The trackers are designed to record your physical activity. They are usually worn around the wrist (手腕), where they record a person's heart rate. The research team looked at two groups of people. The first wore a fitness tracker and took part in health consultation with experts for best weight loss plan. The researchers compared this group with people who only got health consultation.
The study found that those only speaking with the health experts lost nearly 6 kilograms, but those using a fitness tracker lost only 3.5 kilograms. John Jakicic the lead researcher, questioned the use of these trackers for weight loss.
The study involved 470 people age between 18 and 35. Some of them were overweight, while others were considered obese. Over three fourths of them were women. All were told to increase physical activity and start on a low-calorie diet. They had their weight measured once every six months. After six months, researchers divided the group into two parts: one continued with monthly consulting, while members of the other group were given a fitness tracker. Eighteen months later, both groups showed great improvements in fitness, physical activity and diet, with no big difference between groups. However, when it came to losing weight, the people who only spoke with experts lost nearly twice as much weight.
Jakicic said, “The study's findings are important because effective long-term treatments are needed to deal with America's obesity.”More information is needed, he added, to learn how to best use these trackers to help adults who want to lose weight.

【推荐3】For the first time, a British group, PDSA, gave its Gold Medal to a rat named Magawa for its work searching out unexploded landmines (地雷)in Cambodia.
Magawa was born in Tanzania, but is now based in the Cambodian city of Siem Reap. He has discovered 39 landmines and 28 pieces of unexploded ones, and helped clear more than 1.5 million square feet of land over the past four years.
Over 5 million landmines have been laid in Cambodia during the civil war in the 1980s and 1990s. In Cambodia, over 19,000 people have been killed by landmines. Another 51,000 have been injured.
Magawa is part of the “Hero Rat" project, which works across South East Asia and Africa, training rats to save lives by detecting landmines. Magawa started its training at the age of 10 weeks.
He was trained to detect TNT, the chemical compound within explosives(炸药).The ability to sniff (嗅) out TNT makes him much faster than any person in searching for land mines.
According to Christophe Cox, co — founder and CEO of APPO, a charity that trains the rats, the creatures can screen an area of 200 square meters in half an hour. "We really trust our rats. Very often after clearing a minefield, our teams will play a game of soccer on the cleared field to assure the quality of our work. So far our trainers have never had any accidents with rats because their size and weight permits them to walk across mine fields. They also work much faster than people.
Described as friendly and hardworking by Malen, a Belgian trainer, Magawa has a work-life balance that is likely the envy of many a human. When he is not in the minefield, the 2-foot-long rat likes snacking on bananas, peanuts and watermelons, and taking a spin on the running wheel.
