The famus Spanish painter Pabl Picass nce said, “I always d what I can't d s that I can learn
hw t d it.” It strikes a chrd with me because that's exactly what I've dne these years.
One f my earliest memries f ding befre learning is f baking scnes(烤饼) when I was abut 10
years ld. I wanted t bake them t surprise my mther when she returned hme.
Befre that I'd bserved hw my mther baked them many times. As I started t try, I didn't knw I
shuldn't handle the dugh with my hands t much nce I'd added the baking pwder. Hwever, I knew exactly hw t rll ut the dugh and use a ckie cutter t cut the scnes, because my mm had already taught me.
By the time my mm arrived hme, the smell f freshly baked scnes welcmed her int the kitchen.
They were baked t glden brwn perfectin-flat, as a result f ver handling the dugh, but they tasted OK. My mm sweetly praised me fr my attempt, rather than sclding me fr the state f the kitchen, which was
like a trnad had just blwn!
Have my attempts always been successful? I wish! Sme f my kitchen disasters were f such prprtins that even the dgs wanted nthing t d with them. My gardening failures didn't live t see anther seasn.
But my habit f ding befre learning is still helpful. Whatever cmputer prgram r applicatin I have t learn, I d s by simply starting t use it. I d, learn, and imprve. S if yu ask me whether I regret that I
tend t d first and learn later, I’ d say I dn’ t, because what I have discvered frm thse is the wisdm t
knw when it's OK t d and then learn, and when it's prbably better t learn and then d!

New glve can translate sign language instantly thrugh an app, researchers say
Califrnia researchers develped a glve embedded with electrnic sensrs that can translate American Sign Language (ASL) int English in real time thrugh an app n yur smartphne.
Unlike its past cunterparts, the new glve is lightweight, inexpensive and lng-lasting.
The device culd help remve cmmunicatin barriers between signers and nn-signers.
Hpefully, this may pen up an easy way fr peple wh use sign language t cmmunicate
directly with nn-signers withut needing smene else t translate fr them.
The team wrked with fur peple wh are deaf and use ASL and had them repeat gestures up t 15 times while wearing the glve-like device, simultaneusly teaching a machine hw t recgnize them.
The glve has thin, stretchable sensrs made frm“electrically cnducting yarns” that run
up each finger and cnvert the mvements int signals. These signals are sent t a
“dllar-cin-sized” circuit bard placed n the persn's wrist, which then wirelessly transfers
them ver t a smartphne.
The system was able t recgnize 660 hand mtins and finger placements that stand fr
each letter in the English alphabet, different phrases and each number. The algrithm(计算程序) recgnized the crrect signs abut 99% f the time, and in less than ne secnd — r abut a
tne wrd per secnd.
The researchers als placed sensrs in between the participants eyebrws and n the sides f
their muths t“capture facial expressins that are a part f ASL”. The same exact hand-shape
and mvement can ttally change meaning because f the facial expressin that is used t
accmpany it. Take the wrd MUCH. The degree f hw much can ttally be determined by the facial expressin alne while the sign stays the same.
Researchers said the glve wuld need t learn mre vcabulary and be able t translate
signs faster in rder t get a cmmercial versin f it in stres.
8. Wh is the new glve intended fr?
A. Translatrs. B. Deaf peple. C. English learners. D. Sign language users.
9. What des Paragraph 4 mainly say abut the new glve?
A. Its reliability. B. Its cmpnents.
C. Its wrking principle. D. Its brad applicatins.
10. Hw d researchers imprve the glve's crrectness f recgnitin?
A. By cnnecting it t smartphnes.
B. By lengthening the time f catching gestures.
C. By inputting mre letters and wrds in English.
D. By catching infrmatin frm participants’ faces.
11. What will researchers d with the glve in the future?
A. Bring it t market. B. Update its utlk.
C. Extend its service life. D. Imprve its perfrmance.

A prmtin ffering 98 yuan dmestic plane tickets is being advertised by Chinese nline travel platfrm LY. COM. While such a lw price sunds amazing, there is just ne catch: The purchaser is nt tld where the flight is heading, nr when it will take ff.
The prmtin has becme a trending tpic n Chinese scial media as sme peple have been attempting t bk them ahead f the upcming May Day hliday. Labeled as a“destinatin
blind bx” n the site, tickets are purchased thrugh a rather hassle-less bking prcedure, in which passengers prvide their travel infrmatin, select a departure airprt and then pay their
98 yuan. If the randmly chsen date and destinatin are unsuitable, users may ask fr a refund, but nce they“lck in” their tickets, there is n ging back.
“Destinatin blind bx” is nw a ht tpic n China's nline platfrms. “I believe yung
peple are a big target demgraphic (特定年龄段人口) fr this prmtin, because they nt
nly enjy the thrill f the unknwn, but als like t shw ff their lives thrugh these types f cmmercial activities. Like this ne fr instance, it desn't matter if they finally g r nt. Bking a ticket and psting abut it n scial media can still suggest that ne has adventurus and
life-lving qualities,” said Fan, a marketing expert wh has wrked with civil aviatin (航空)
clients.
Many peple nt nly shared the screenshts f tickets they drew, sme even came up with a tutrial t teach the bking prcedure under the free canceling plicy. Hwever, sme
thers claimed it is t rare t draw a ticket that is ideal. “If it wants t be a prfitable activity,
the release f the tickets must have been planned ahead and is nt as randm as it seems. It will nt have ppular airlines. The marketing campaign may als be aimed at the fast sale f sme
tickets frm less ppular airlines that were riginally nt that expensive. If they sell a large
quantity f tickets, the cmpany may still earn a prfit even thugh the price is 98 yuan,” an
expert in turism suggested.
12. Which f the fllwing best explains“catch” underlined in paragraph 1?
A. Benefit. B. Disadvantage. C. Mistake D. Charm.

On the first day f schl, I stared in awe at the huge buildings. This high schl was definitely bigger than the ne I had previusly attended.
This was my secnd year f high schl, but my first year f schl in St. Luis. I had decided the night befre that I wuld be much happier in a new schl if I made friends that were s-called“ppular”. Getting in with the right grup f peple wuld make my life a whle lt better. I even bught a new utfit(全套服装) and had my hair styled just s the first day wuld be perfect.
Scared, yet anxius t begin my new life, I walked up the stairs t the frnt dr. The halls were packed with kids yelling and laughing and telling stries f their summer adventures. My first class was gemetry, but where was that?
I was standing in the hall lking cnfused, when a shrt, blnd girl wearing glasses came up and asked, “Are yu new? Yu lk lst. D yu need help? My name is Diane. What's yurs?” Even thugh she seemed a bit strange, definitely nt the kind f persn I wanted t be assciated with, I decided t answer her anyway. I was, after all, lst.
After exchanging names. I fllwed her up the stairs and dwn a hallway n the right, making plite cnversatin the whle way. When we reached my rm she said, “Well, here yu are. Welcme t JFK, and I hpe yur day ges all right.”
I said thanks and waved gd-bye. Once inside the classrm,I saw ne big grup f peple huddled arund smene wh seemed t be telling sme srt f stry. I walked ver and gt clse enugh t verhear. All eyes were glued t the guy in the middle f the circle wh was wearing a letter jacket cvered with patches. I decided that this guy was ppular, s I managed t get a seat right next t him. I said, “Hi, my name is Lisa and I'm new here.” He said, “Jhnny.”
