5 . Popular destinations boosted by films, TV dramas

Over the past year, several films and TV dramas have put their shooting locations into the public spotlight. Let’s take a look.

Jiangmen in Guangdong province

As a hometown for many overseas Chinese, Jiangmen in Guangdong province, where the drama The Knockout was filmed attracts a crowd of tourists and TV fans. Currently, travel bookings had a 144 percent month-on-month rise.

Taiyuan Ancient County in Shanxi province

Filmed within a community, the movie Full River Red grasps the most important part of the buildings, winding streets and characteristic ancient courtyards of the Taiyuan Ancient County in Shanxi, leaving a lasting impression on the audience. During last year’s Spring Festival, the county witnessed a stream of over 400,000 tourists, more than the previous Spring Festival holiday.

Another hot film during last year’s Spring Festival was The Wandering Earth 2, which shows impressive and grand sci-fi scenes. Interestingly, 90 percent of the film was actually shot in Qingdao Shandong province. For sci-fi fans or film lovers, visiting Qingdao to explore the movie’s filming locations has become a popular trend.

6 . Do you really need a new phone every 2 years?

If you’re looking to replace or upgrade your smartphone in the coming year, think it over.     1     Do you simply have the desire to get the new, shiny tech? There are some issues to consider besides the new device’s affordability.

Our desire to always have the newest smartphone comes at a high environmental cost. According to Swappie, which repairs and resells iPhones, 1.4 billion new smartphones forecast to be shipped this year will generate 146 million tons of planet-warming emissions.     2    

What can you do ?

Resist the desire to upgrade. If your phone still works, get as much life as you can out of it. “The greenest smart-phone is the one you already own,” Stratton said.

Get it fixed. If your phone breaks, get it repaired directly by the manufacturer or take it to a store to repair your phone brand.     3    

Sell it instead of throwing it. You can sell your used smartphone to specialized repairing companies like Swappie to give it a second life.     4     This is because of the materials used to produce them.

    5     If your phone is completely broken and cannot be sold, you can still recycle it. You just need to do a little bit of research into how and where to correctly recycle it.

A．Make it functioned.

B．Recycle it properly.

C．Do you really need a new phone?

D．Broken phones can still be valuable.

E．Where can you get a new smartphone?

F．83% of them come from producing, shipping and first-year usage.

G．A broken or out-of-order phone can often be fixed through easy repairs.

7 . I didn’t quite know what I was looking for when I flew to Mongolia for a term abroad. I just needed something different, far from the late-night libraries of my college town. Most different, I hoped, would be my rural homestay: two weeks in central Mongolia with a family of nomadic(游牧的) herders.

I was studying Mongolian at the time, but still, there was so much I couldn’t say or understand. As we walked in the snow behind the goats, my host mom would ask me if I was cold, then giggle (咯咯地笑) and copy a big shiver to make sure I understood. In the evenings, she showed me how to make dumplings with her fingers. My host siblings would talk with me, speaking too fast for me to understand, as we explored the rocks around our tent; I’d listen and nod.

This verbal(言语的) barrier was strangely freeing. In the crowded dining hall at home, meeting new people made me anxious. I’d stay quiet, measuring out my words, struggling for something to say that wouldn’t expose me as unfunny or boring. In Mongolia, I couldn’t perfect my words. I could only smile, and try out one of the phrases I’d mastered: “May I help?” “Where is the dog?” “Are you tired?” My host family laughed at my pronunciation, at the way I threw up my hands and eyebrows in a frequent gesture of confusion. But in their laughter, I felt safe, unembarrassed.

With my Mongolian family on the grassland, I found a feeling of ease I’d never felt before. We were so different, they and I, and not just in language. Their skin was hardened and darkened by sun; I’d been hidden under hats and sunscreen since birth. My host siblings(兄弟姐妹) grew up drawing water from frozen streams and jogging behind herds of sheep; I spent summers at tennis camp.

For me, these gaps made all the difference. Without shared social measures, I wasted no time wondering how I was measuring up. Only real things—kindness, helpfulness—mattered.

10 . Metaura Pro claims to be the world’s first wearable air-conditioning device capable of constantly blowing cold air to keep the wearer cool.

Conventional wearable cooling systems only circulate the surrounding air, and thus don’t do a very good job of cooling people down. The stronger the wind blows, the hotter you get. This is definitely not what you want during those hot summer days. Metaura Pro, on the other hand, relies on a cooling solution to produce genuinely cold air that is 7 degrees Fahrenheit (华氏的) cooler than that of the surrounding area, in fan mode, and up to 18 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than the surrounding air, in cooling mode. The device has a smart app and relies on artificial intelligence to regulate air temperature.

Metaura Pro is driven by a powerful motor and its cooling modules are made up of 26 lightweight flat objects that wrap around the wearer’s neck and help to reduce heat. The motor is linked to a high-speed fan at the back of the device which also drives away some of that warm air around the neck. The device also has a VC plate, which has a liquid-cooled, heat-equalizing mechanism, efficiently creating a temperature differential between hot and cold temperatures.

“What sets Metaura Pro apart from the competition is that it produces genuinely cold air lower than the surrounding temperature, refreshing you during those dog days of summer,” the Metaura Pro Kickstarter crowdfunding page reads.

Metaura Pro not only supplies a cooling function, but also has the capacity for heating as well in winter, it can be used to warm your body to a comfortable temperature, when the surrounding air feels cold.

The device intelligently monitors itself, so when you take it off, it recognizes that it is no longer in use and will automatically shut off and switch to standby mode to save power consumption. Metaura Pro wearable collar is powered by a chargeable battery that can provide only 3 hours of cooling on a single charge. The device weighs 435 grams, which is not heavy, but definitely noticeable.

1. How does Metaura Pro manage to keep people cool?

A．By dropping the body temperature.

B．By circulating the surrounding air.

C．By producing lower-temperature air.

D．By blowing the strong wind around.

2. What is mainly discussed about Metaura Pro in paragraph 3?

A．Its internal structure.	B．Its operating costs.
C．Its amazing function.	D．Its working principle.

3. What may be the disadvantage of the device?

A．It puts limitation on cooling function.

B．It switches to different modes by hand.

C．It possesses a relatively short battery life.

D．It depends much on outdoor temperatures.

4. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A．A double-mode smart phone app

B．A cooling air-conditioning system

C．A rechargeable battery for e-products

D．A wearable temperature-adjusting device
