Many shopping malls now have areas with “VR Experience Area”. You may have entered one or two out of curiosity (好奇心) or you may think it’s just useless technology.     1     VR, or virtual reality, is going to be a bigger part of our lives in the near future.

2016 has seen the introduction of many fancy products in the VR world, including Google’s Dovydream View and Samsung’s Gear VR.     2    

2017 is going to be the year in which VR technology really starts to get popular. For a start, using VR has become normal in 2017. In fact, Microsoft and Intel have already started to discuss their plans for simpler and less expensive VR headsets (头戴式耳机).     3     And it starts to play a part in more common and real-life fields like fashion and film. For example, to enjoy the excitement of the front row at a fashion show, you’ll no longer have to go to the show in person and actually sit there.

    4     You can also expect VR mirrors and fitting rooms sooner rather than later. “This is an especially good opportunity for brands looking to offer very personalized experiences,” said Roy De Young from PMX Agency, a marketing company.

As time goes by, there will be less and less discussion about whether or not people will accept VR technology.     5    

A．We like travelling to big cities.

B．Now it’s just a question of when.

C．More robots will be brought to factories.

D．But whatever your reaction is, one thing is for sure.

E．It is expected that VR products will become popular.

F．All of them offer an interesting look at the new opportunities that VR brings.

G．Therefore, many people will be able to have the experience about putting on a VR headset.

【推荐1】Flu（流感）season often arrives during the coldest month of the year and is never easy to kill. A few simple tips may help you keep the flu away.

Wash your hands.

Most people know that washing their hands regularly is an important part of staying healthy. During the cold and flu season, this is even more important because flu viruses can live long enough on surfaces for you to pick them up on your hands. Wash your hands using warm water and soap（肥皂）and make sure to scrub（擦洗）gently. When water and soap are not available（有效的）, you can always use sanitizers containing 60%-90% ethyl alcohol（包含60-90%酒精的消毒液）.

Get enough sleep and manage your stress.

Not having enough sleep and high levels of stress can reduce immune functions（免疫功能）, so the body’s ability to keep off colds and flu will also become lower.

Exercise 3-4 days a week.

Exercise helps strengthen the immune system and increases the body’s natural ability to fight infection（感染）.

Keep a healthy diet.

Remember to eat some fruit and vegetables daily to make sure to take in enough vitamin（维他命）.

Avoid contact with sick people.

【推荐2】Can you remember the day when you spoke your first words? If you can, you are unusual. Try to think what the first months of your life were like, I’m sure you just spent most of your time eating, sleeping and crying. As you grew older, you were awake more of the time. It took your parents more to play with you and talk to you. You watched and listened. You began to know that people make some sounds to go with some things.
Then you began to cry to make sounds you heard. And step by step you were able to make the right sound for one thing.
On that day you came to understand the secret of the language. The secret is that a certain sound means a certain thing. One sound might be as good as another. But it is not as good as a word unless everyone agrees on its meaning. Only when a group of people use the same set of sounds of things, they can understand each other, so these people have a language.
After you found the secret of language, you learned words. Some of the words meant things, such as books, chairs and shops. Some of the words meant actions such as go and swim. And other words describe things such as good or dirty. Soon you learn to put words together to express one’s idea, such as “I want to go out and play with my friends.” This is language. By the way of language people can communicate. So we say languages mean communication.
