Small-sized but powerful, the mini is the most suitable massage device that goes wherever you do. Tension can strike at the most inconvenient times, and the mini is right there with you.

3 Scientifically Adjusted Speeds

When it comes to speed, faster isn’t always better. The mini lets you choose between three speeds, each scientifically adjusted to deliver greater benefits for the body.

Ergonomic (人体工程学的) Grip

We adapted our patented Threagun Triangle ergonomic design to Mini’s unique shape, resulting in a smooth, ergonomic grip that is easy to hold while reducing stress on your hands and wrists.

150-Minute Total Battery Life

On-the-go relief means that your device needs to be ready for you right when you need it. With up to 150 minutes of sustained run time, Mini sets the standard for true portability.

QuietForce Technology

We were able to reduce its size while maintaining our treatment quality. Experience distinct, near-silent operation while you melt away your tension at a moment’s notice, whether you’re working or in the comfort of home. That’s the power of QuietForce Technology.

Using the mini

1. To turn on the Theragun mini, firmly press and hold for 2 seconds the multi-functional power/speed button on the right side of the device.

3 . Recently, an unhappy event has happened in a kindergarten in Chongqing. Most primary schools suggest that parents should come along with their children to school and guard the school gates from 7:40 to 8:00 in the morning. Opinions on this problem are different from person to person.

Sun Zhenyao, 13, Jiangbei

Safety comes first. I don’t think it’s a big problem for parents. They just have to stay at the school gate for a little longer. Also, it’s very crowded around school gates in the morning. Traffic accidents can happen. Depending only on school guards is not enough. If parents can help, there will be fewer accidents.

Li Minyi, 14, Yubei

On weekdays, guarding schools and keeping students safe should be the schools’ responsibility – not the parents’. Also, the time during which they have to stand guard is usually about 7:40 to 8:00 am, the morning rush hour. Some parents might get caught in a traffic jam and be late for their work. I don’t think this task should fall on the parents.

Sun Run, 14, Beibei

This request is not just about children’s safety, but also supporting the school. It is a good way to improve relations between parents and schools. Secondly, parents can set a good example for their kids by working selflessly for their society.

Huang Xi, 15, Jiulongpo

Most of these parents are office workers. They have their own things to do. They hurry to go to work every morning. To meet this new request, some may have to ask for time off. This will affect their work performance.

1. The students who agree with the suggestion are_______.

A．Li Minyi, Sun Run

B．Huang Xi, Sun Zhenyao

C．Huang Xi, Li Minyi

D．Sun Zhenyao, Sun Run

2. According to the students, why should parents guard the school gates?

A．Guarding schools and keeping students safe should be the schools’ job.

B．It is a good example for kids to have a sense of responsibility.

C．Some parents can ask for time off to guard the school gates.

D．There are not enough school guards in the primary schools.

3. This article is most likely to be_________.

A．a newspaper interview

B．a police report

C．a short story

D．a textbook passage

8 . What Does the Length of Your Fingers Say About You?

Are you the peace-loving type or the ambitious go-getter? Your finger length might be a clue. Take a look at your fingers. Would you believe me if I told you that the length of your fingers in relation to one another can predict your personality? I know that it sounds like one of those silly tests you see on Facebook, but I have to admit that it is exactly correct for me. Here's how it works.

Look at your three middle fingers of your hand. Is your   index   finger longer than your ring finger? Is your ring finger longer than your index finger? Or are the two of the same length? Find the situation that best matches your hand and see if what follows is an accurate   description of your personality.

●Longer ring finger: The Sweet Talker

If your ring finger is longer than your index finger, research shows that you're likely a charming type, and you can probably talk yourself out of any situation. Others often find this personality type irresistible and will go to great lengths to help you. You're more likely to take risks, and you're good at problem-solving. People in this category make great engineers, soldiers and crossword-puzzle solvers.

●Longer index finger: The (Over) Confident One

If your index finger is longer than your ring finger, chances are you are full of confidence—possibly even to the point of being over-confident and proud. You are not necessarily introverted（内向的）,but you do enjoy time to yourself, especially when you're trying to complete a project. You are a dream pursuer who can make things happen, but you may be shy when it comes to taking the first step in a relationship. You are also probably happy with what you have, but you're always wishing for more.

●Index and ring finger are of the same length: The Peacemaker

If your index finger and ring finger are roughly of the same length, you are likely to avoid conflict at all costs and seek to keep the peace in your relationships. You are well-organized, faithful and sympathetic. But deep down under all of that caring and peace-loving, you also have a hot-tempered side that can appear unexpectedly when you're pushed too far. You will try your hardest to avoid a fight.

How well do these descriptions match your personality? I was surprised at the accuracy in     my case, but I'm not going to tell you which one it was!

1. Which of the following hand could be an engineer's hand?

A．	B．
C．	D．

2. What does the passage intend to tell us?

A．How accurate the description of the test is.

B．The length of fingers can reveal personality.

C．Why your fingers are not of the same length.

D．Personality is determined by your finger length.

3. Where can you probably find the text?

A．An official report.

B．A biology textbook.

C．A popular magazine.

D．A public advertisement.
