Some inventions help us solve problems. Others make life easier, or more fun. Here, TFK(Time for Kids) presents 3 of our favorite inventions. See how they make us live a better life.Stopping SicknessChristine Schindler is an engineer. She wanted to help stop the spread of foodborne illnesses. So she created PATHSPOT. It uses light to scan a person’s hands for harmful germs. Restaurant employees hold their hands beneath the scanner. Then the scanner judges whether they must be rewashed. About 100 locations have started using the product since it launched in May.Talking EyesFor people who are blind or have other visual problems, the ORCAM MYEYE 2 could be a game changer. It might also prove useful for people with reading difficulties. Described as “talking glasses,” this AI device can be attached to any eyeglass frame. It can identify faces. It can also read text aloud. Fitting all this power into such a small device is like “putting an elephant in a small closet,” says Amnon Shashua, the inventor of the technology. Now the device can be bought online.Sport-safeResearch shows that playing football increases the risk of brain injury. Still, about a million kids under the age of 13 play football, according to the Sports & Fitness Industry Association. That’s where the VICIS ZERO1 YOUTH football helmet comes in. It has thick, force-absorbing support on the front and sides, where kids are likely to take the hardest hits on the field. Players on 1,500 youth teams have worn the helmet.21．What is the function of Pathspot?A．Killing the germs on hands. B．Checking if hands are clean.C．Rewashing employees’ hands. D．Stopping the reproduction of germs.22．Which of the following is the feature of Talking Eyes?A．Low-noise. B．Portable.C．Single-function D．Power-saving.23．What can we learn about VICIS ZERO1 YOUTH ?A．It is available to the public now. B．It improves kids’ football skills.C．It is designed for kids under 13 only. D．Its front and sides are the hardest.BOn November18, 1995, Itzhak Perlman, the world famous violinist, came on stage to give a concert at Lincoln Centre in New York City. If you have ever been to a Perlman concert, you know that getting on stage is not easy for him. He got polio（小儿麻痹症）as a child, and has to walk with the aid of two crutches（拐杖）now.That night Perlman walked slowly to his chair. Then he sat down and began to play. But, suddenly, one of the strings on his violin broke. You could hear it break---it broke with a loud noise. People thought to themselves, “He would have to get up to either find another violin or find another string for this one.”But he didn’t. Instead, he waited a moment, closed his eyes and then signaled the conductor to begin again. The orchestra began, and he played from where he had stopped. He played with such passion and such power. Of course, everyone knows that it is impossible to play a symphonic work with just three strings. But that night Itzhak Perlman refused to know that. You could see him changing and recomposing the piece in his head. When he finished, there was a silence in the room. Then people rose and cheered. We were all on our feet, doing everything we could to show how much we appreciated what he had done.He smiled and then he said in a quiet tone, “You know, sometimes it is the artist’s task to find out how much music you can make with what you have left.” His words have stayed in my mind ever since I heard them. That is also the way of life. Perhaps our task in this quickly changing world in which we live is to make music, at first with all that we have, and then, when that is no longer possible, to make music with what we have left.24．Holding a concert is challenging for Perlman because ______.A．He is just a world famous violinistB．He has never performed on stage beforeC．He has difficulty in moving his bodyD．He is physically disabled as a result of a disease25．When Perlman had just begun playing, ______.A．He fell ill suddenlyB．There was something wrong with the violinC．An accident happened and caused a disturbanceD．A very loud noise arose from the audience26．If one of the strings suddenly broke, what would an ordinary player do?A．He would play another violin.B．He would cancel the concert.C．Another performer would play instead.D．The concert would be put off.27．The lesson we draw from the story is that ______.A．What we have is more important than what is lostB．We should not care about what is lostC．We should make the best of what we haveD．The way of life is to always live with musicCThe world’s first robot police officer has started working. Its name is ‘RoboCop’ and it went into service for the Dubai Police earlier this week. Robocop’s first official duty was to greet guests at the opening of a security conference in Dubai. Apart from greeting visitors’ its job was to answer questions and give directions. RoboCop has a built — in tablet for people to interact with. People can use the tablet to pay traffic fines and use other smart police services. The tablet is linked to a police station, so people can talk to human police officers. In addition, RoboCop can speak six languages, including English and Arabic. The 170 - centimetre - tall robot can also shake hands, salute people and recognize people’s emotions and facial expressions.Dubai Police says RoboCop is the first of many robot police officers for the city.

He also said that RoboCop would, “assist and help people in the malls or on the streets”.

They got slips of paper that said, “No class today.” There was only one rule for the students ‘ unexpected free time——They were not allowed to study, but to relax. Since exams and papers were coming up, everyone was tired and stressed. At this moment they were touched. With around applause, nine students hugged Santos, and two burst into tears.Yet, cancelling class was not just a break. It was also a challenge, as she was asking them to stop worrying about their grades, even if it was just an hour. One student went to the Yale University Art Gallery for the first time in her four years at Yale. A group of students went to a recording studio and played a new song. More people were outside, and more were smiling. That’s why about 1,200 students were taking Santos’s class, called “Psychology and the Good Life,” the largest class in Yale’s 317-year history. Even non-Yale students had the chance to take Santos’s class. It was offered as an online course and she immediately became an Internet hit.Skyler Robinson, one of her students, was at a loss for a while about what to do during his break, and then decided to take a nap. “It was a great nap,” he commented. Santos designed the class after she realized that her students kept busy through long days that seemed far more depressing and joyless than her own college years. “They feel they’re in this crazy rat race. They’re working so hard that they can’t take a single hour off. That’s awful.”The ideas behind the class are simple. Santos said, “It is the hope that science can help students find peace among all the stresses and difficulties they face at college.” The lessons include showing more gratitude, performing acts of kindness and increasing social connections. The students really wanted to learn to lead a happy life in a science -driven way. Santos also noted the psychological happening of “mis-wanting”, which led people to work towards the wrong goals in life.One week, Santo asked students to exercise. Another week, she wanted them to get more sleep. They worked hard to keep some new habits. Social science research led to many new understandings of how people find happiness. She thinks her class can change Yale, or rather, not just Yale.32．How did students respond to the cancelling class?A．They expressed their concern.B．They were at a loss what to do.C．They showed gratitude to the teacher.D．They were eager to study individually.33．How can we know Santo’s class was popular?A．From the attendence in her class.B．From the subject she taught.C．From the long history of Yale.D．From the release of the online course.34．What can students learn from Santos’s class?A．To develop good study habits.B．To let exercise become their routine.C．To better understand how to find happiness.D．To do something joyful during the stressful time.35．What can we infer from the text?A．Santos had a more stressful time in her college.B．Students would be in rat race after Santos’s class.C．Santos’s influence can reach a wider range of people.D．Santos is going to cancel more classes for better effects.第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余项。Running is the best way to keep our body fit and healthy.

The fruit and vegetables I eat are full of vitamins and minerals.However, I do have some bad eating habits. Frequently, I buy the grilled cold noodles on the street, which are delicious, but by no means healthy. Worse still, I have a hard time refusing sweets.I should improve my eating habits by cutting down on desserts. I should also eat slowly and enjoy the food. And of course, eating a modest amount of food each time is a must.Personally, a fundamental key to healthy eating is to follow a balanced diet, without too much or too little of any one thing. Most importantly, it starts with having a healthy attitude. It is up to us to make the right decisions about our diet.
