A new phne app uses vibratins （振动）frm smart phnes t alert peple abut earthquakes.
The phne app recgnizes sudden shaking f the earth’s surface thrugh sensrs （传感器）in smart phnes. The new app is called MyShake. It is the wrk f fur researchers at the University f Califrnia, Berkeley. They said they created a wrldwide warning system that wuld infrm peple and give them time t prepare. The MyShake app is available nly fr Andrid phnes.
Smart phnes are equipped with accelermeters （加速计）. These instruments measure mvement, like that f a car r airplane. They can als measure the shaking f a machine, building r ther structure. Accelermeters are used in activity trackers and apps that cunt steps r ther exercise. They are als used in glbal psitining system （GPS）apps.
MyShake uses phne accelermeters t measure seismic （地震引起的）activity. It has been prgrammed t knw the difference between nrmal activity and earthquake mvement. The sftware develpers say their app is right 93 percent f the time. A smart phne sends seismic infrmatin t the app develpers. If the develpers receive infrmatin frm ne area, it recgnizes that an earthquake may be taking place r will take place sn. Using infrmatin sent frm the app, the netwrk then estimates the lcatin and strength f the quake in real time. MyShake can recrd magnitude（规模）5. 0 earthquakes at distances f 10 kilmeters r less． MyShake uses very little pwer, accrding t its develpers. Only when seismic activity is sensed by the app des it becme active and sends data t the netwrk.
The app wrks best when yur phne is resting n a flat surface, like a table. The app als shws ways t stay safer during an earthquake. The develpers say it will becme mre effective as mre peple use it.
32. What can we knw abut MyShake?
A. It can be applied t all kinds f phnes. B. It serves as a wrldwide warning system.
C. It's the name f a new smart phne. D. It can prevent and stp the mvement f the earth.

A. Thrugh vibratins frm smart phnes.
B. Thrugh infrmatin in smart phnes.
C. Thrugh sensrs in smart phnes.
D. Thrugh accelermeters in smart phnes.
34. Why are accelermeters used in MyShake?
A. T lcate where the user is.
B. T cunt steps r ther exercise.
C. T measure seismic activity.
D. T measure the shaking f building.
35. What's the best title fr the text?
A. A New Phne App Feels Earthquakes
B. A New Phne App Prevents Earthquakes
C. A New Phne App Keeps Yu Safe in the Earthquake
D. A New Phne App Makes Smart Phnes Mre Effective

Hi, my name is Jim. I'm a life and relatinship cach in New Yrk City. Nw we'll talk abut making a gd first impressin. Yu nly get ne chance t d that, right? A really great way t make a gd first impressin is t make eye cntact and t shw real interest in the persn yu're meeting. It's imprtant t remember their names. When yu first meet smebdy, yu shuld use their names during the cnversatin t let them knw that yu remember their names.
Yu shuld als allw them t have the sptlight. Yu can share infrmatin abut yurself, but dn't cntrl the cnversatin it’s nt all abut yu. Even if yu're the mst interesting persn in the wrld, peple want t talk abut themselves t. S be a great listener, ask questins and really make a pint f getting t knw the ther persn. And yu knw, peple like t talk abut themselves. S if yu let them d that, then they're ging t like yu.
Finally, make sure yu dress nicely and have gd psture. Dn't be negative and dn't cmplain; n ne wants t hear yur prblems. Just be psitive, be yurself and be a gd listener.
