Best smartwatches you can buy right now
1. Apple Watch SE
The Apple Watch SE is the best smartwatch money can buy right now, but it's only the right choice
for you if you own an iPhone. If you do have an iPhone, you may wonder why the Apple Watch 6
doesn't take our title of the very best smartwatch That's because the Apple Watch SE does almost
everything that smartwatch can, but for a much lower price.
The Apple Watch SE comes with a high-end design and a great range of features that you can't get
on every other smartwatch right now. The battery life isn't the best on the market based on our tests,
and there isn't an always-on display, but if you're after a great value for money choice for your next
wrist companion you should opt for the Apple Watch SE.
2. Samsung Galaxy Watch 4
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 is a wearable that had a lot of publicity around it. This sees Samsung
return to Wear OS, having used Tizen for recent models. But this isn’t Wear OS as you might know it
– it’s a new take on the operating system, designed alongside Samsung, and with a very Tizen-like skin
on the top.
Add to that great performance, what we found to be a comfortable fit, a lightweight build, and
interesting new body composition measurement tools, and this makes for a top smartwatch, especially
for those interested in tracking their health and fitness.
But with some of its features requiring a Samsung phone, and no support for iPhones, the Samsung
Galaxy Watch 4 isn’t something we can recommend to everyone. It also arguably isn’t worth upgrading
to if you already own a recent Galaxy Watch.
3. Apple Watch 6
1
The Apple Watch 6 hasn't taken the top spot in our best smartwatch list, but this is the absolute
best device you can get if you own an iPhone. Why isn't it ranked above the Apple Watch SE Because
it's a lot more expensive than that option.
It isn't a huge upgrade over the Apple Watch 5 though. There are new features like blood oxygen
monitoring and an upgraded chipset, but largely it's a similar device with the exact same screen and
design.
That said, if you're after an Apple Watch this is the best from the company ever, we just found the
lack of any major upgrades a slight disappointment.
1. What is a disadvantage of the Apple Watch SE
A. It has a poor range of features B. The display is always on
C. It is poor value for money D. The battery life is not outstanding
2. How does the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 differ from recent models
A. It doesn’t support iPhones B. It is comfortable
C. It can’t be recommended to everyone D. It uses a different operating system
3. What do the Apple Watch 5 and Apple Watch 6 have in common
A. The blood oxygen monitor B. The screen
C. The price D. The chipset
B
Julian Murphy has had a successful week. He’s the headmaster of an independent school called
Loughborough Amherst school and he seems a bit media-friendly. Do you know what I mean Those
media-friendly headmasters They’re regularly announcing something and not just in school – in the
media. They pop up with some teaching thing: maths should only happen after lunch or they’re
replacing physics with farming lessons. Anthony Seldon and Eric Anderson were the pioneers – always
ringing up with a theory instead of standing in a playground with a coffee and a whistle.
Murphy first got round to being media-friendly back in 2017 when he said he was getting rid of
school reports. His reasons were, he told the Independent, that “they end up using almost politician’s
speak, using the same phrases such as ‘very lively and enthusiastic in lessons’, which of course actually
means they don’t behave well in class”, and that some teachers, “let’s say PE or maths teachers – find
writing 200-word long reports quite challenging”.
I quite like his style. He tells it like it is. Well, actually, not any more he doesn’t. Last week’s
theory was a bit different. He’s banned staff, he explained to a newspaper, from using the words “good”
and “bad” to refer to pupils’ behaviour. Instead, they should say “skilful” and “unskilful”.
One famous presenter tweeted in reply: “What on earth will these poor kids do when they’re
exposed to the real world This is so… BAD.” This suggests that the most sensible way for a school
to prepare its students for the big wide world is simply to copy it. The “sink or swim” approach. “Look
at those poor cosseted (宠爱) kids wearing armbands (充气臂圈).” “In the real world no one’s going to
carefully explain to you how to read!” But, surely, the fact that people are often rude, and sometimes
violent and criminal, in the real world doesn’t mean that it’s necessarily a sound idea to encourage
those things inside a school.
This is how Murphy explained his new rule: “While I don’t want teachers to be soft, I also don’t
want them to be shouty and make pupils feel guilty. I think it’s human psychology – if people make
you feel guilty, then you get angry.” I think I agree with that.
2
Still, in the long run, I’m not sure it’ll do any lasting skilful. Words quickly change their meanings
and schoolchildren are a major driver of that. Playgrounds have taken every polite expression for
disability ever invented and almost instantly weaponised them as terms of abuse between all kids. It
won’t be long before “unskilful” is ruder than “bad” ever was. Rudeness, like life itself, will find a
way.
4. What does the writer think of Antony Seldon and Eric Anderson
A. They had a lot of theories B. Their schools were poorly run
C. They were media-friendly D. They were pioneers in teaching
5. What does Murphy think of school reports
A. They are challenging to read B. They are lively and enthusiastic
C. They give teachers too much work D. They are of little use
6. What is the writer’s attitude towards the famous presenter’s opinion
A. Opposed B. Neutral C. Uncertain D. Supportive
7. What can we infer from the last paragraph about playgrounds
A. Kids often use weapons B. Disabled kids are always bullied
C. Rude language is common D. Kids like to discuss words’ meanings

I held them in awe. My supervisors at Cambridge in the 50s were of the generation who had
served in the war: codebreakers, that kind of thing. They were fiercely intelligent in a way my
schoolteachers had not been. I was full of admiration and fear. It was why I had studied hard to be
there, to meet the finest brains in the land. But I was to learn a lesson.
Betty Behrens was formidable: tall, with long legs. She taught European history. In my first essay,
about the French Revolution, I poured out my soul. I saw it as a new dawn of freedom and fulfilment
such as Cambridge meant to me.
The essay came back untouched. I thought there must be some mistake. I had delivered it as
required, on time, neatly handwritten. Now it lay on my table exactly as I had written it: no comments,
no corrections of dates or names, nothing. My excitement disappeared. What of my beautiful writing
- had it been somehow overlooked
The truth was worse. On the final page, there was indeed an intervention by Betty Behrens: a line
drawn through my writing and a brief paragraph. This piece of work was not worthy of any
consideration by her: It was worthless, trite (老生常谈的) rubbish. If I was to continue to study with her,
there must be a serious effort to understand what scholarship was.
I was knocked back with the force of her disapproval. There was nothing I wanted more than to
impress this wise, clever woman. I was totally destroyed. What is clear now is those professors were
not up on the niceties of human relations. There was no empathy in her remarks. In those days, issues
of mental health were not considered. You were there to learn; they were there to teach.
In the event, the shock of her criticism paid off. I had nowhere to go but into my own head. The
thought of sharing my shame with college colleagues was out of the question. I had some serious
thinking to do. I went back to my books: the clear prose of Keynes, the measured tones of Plumb, the
steady logic of Butterfield … the standard texts of the day. It proved a turning point for me. I began to
examine what shaped my ideas – indeed, what shaped anyone’s ideas. I wanted and intended to do
better.
3
Of course, my student life wasn’t all struggle and regret. I spent much of my time falling in and
out of love and enjoying the world of Cambridge theatre. But when I became a journalist, Betty
Behrens stood at my shoulder, my ghostly editor, reminding me the bedrock of all good journalism is
thorough research, analysis of facts, a willingness to consider all points of view – and only then to let
the emotions erupt on to the page.
8. What was wrong with the writer’s first essay
A. It was too emotional B. It was too short
C. There were too many mistakes D. It was too long
9. What was Betty Behrens’ requirement of the writer
A. The writer should rewrite her essay
B. The writer should rethink her approach to learning
C. The writer should check her work carefully
D. The writer should make her work briefer
10. How did the writer react to Behrens’ criticism
A. She did more reading B. She suffered mental health issues
C. She turned to her friends D. She consulted her teacher
11. What is the best title for the passage
A. A tough but lasting lesson B. An unsuccessful but promising essay
C. A kind and friendly teacher D. A diligent and successful student
D
Assassin (暗杀者) bugs live up to their name. The insects expertly hunt and feed upon other small
invertebrates (无脊椎动物), giving them a poisonous bite. Some species even hunt spiders and use a
strange trick to gain the upper hand.
Using their antennae (触须), assassin bugs tap spiders, which appears to confuse them long enough
to let the bugs make a poisonous strike, researchers reported on September 29. The findings provide
insight into some of the complex hunting tactics that predators (捕食性动物) evolve when targeting
dangerous prey (猎物).
Assassin bugs spend their lives in a place most insects avoid: spider webs. The bugs silently creep
along the spider’s silk, taking care to make their movements seem harmless before violently killing
the web’s architect, seizing the spiders with their front legs and injecting them with poison.
While watching two species of assassin bugs hunt spiders, ecologists Anne Wignall and Fernando
Soley took note of the bugs’ habit of lightly knocking their antennae on spiders once the bugs were
within striking distance.
“It struck us early on that tapping prey was a really strange thing to do,” says Wignall. Spiders
could easily defend themselves and kill the bugs. “Watching the bugs spend so much time and effort
on avoiding detection, only to practically tap the spiders on the shoulder was absolutely fascinating.”
To figure out why the bugs tap, Wignall and Soley tested the behavior of 30 spiders in the
laboratory. The researchers copied the bugs’ antennae tapping by gently brushing the spiders’ leg with
a dog hair. After the tapping, the team measured the spiders’ responses to movements on the web,
copying a struggling insect.
Tapped spiders were far less aggressive than those that weren’t tapped, fully ignoring the
movements four times as often. Tapped spiders also attacked about 25 percent as often as their
untapped counterparts.

Wignall thinks that the assassin bugs are reducing spiders’ aggression levels by imitating the types
of physical touch that these typically solitary (独处的 ) spiders experience near fellow spiders.
“Whenever they do come across another spider, it’s usually because it’s a close relative in the nest, or
a potential mate. Both of which are situations in which aggression would not be a good idea,” she says.
Zoologist Ond ej Michálek, who was not involved with the study, says that the researchers have a
“completely valid theory.” Many spiders avoid cannibalism (同类相食) by using special touch signals
that could be copied by skilful predators, thus tricking the spiders, he says.
12. What is unusual about assassin bugs
A. Their bite is poisonous B. Their movements make little noise
C. They don’t avoid spiders’ webs D. They kill their prey violently
13. What surprised Wignall about the bugs’ behaviour
A. They used a great deal of time and effort
B. They were able to defend themselves
C. They deliberately touched the spiders
D. They were able to kill the spiders
14. Why do the bugs tap the spiders
A. They are keen on physical touch B. They are pretending to be spiders
C. They are usually solitary D. They are looking for a mate
15. What is the best title for the passage
A. Why animals use complex hunting tactics
B. Why assassin bugs tap their prey
C. Assassin bugs have a poisonous bite
D. Assassin bugs – a dangerous predator

Science can help you improve your study methods. For more than 100 years, psychologists have
done research on which study habits work best. Some tips help for almost every subject. For example,
don’t just cram! And test yourself, instead of just rereading the material. Here are 4 tips to tweak your
study habits.
1. Space out your studying
Nate Kornell, a psychologist at Williams College, thinks it’s a good idea to study the day before a
big test. ______16______. Instead, space out those study sessions. Kornell compares our memory to
water in a bucket that has a small leak. Try to refill the bucket while it’s still full, and you can’t add
much more water. Allow time between study sessions, and some of the material may drip out of your
memory. ______17______. And you’ll remember it better, next time, he notes.
2. Practice, practice, practice!
Musicians practice their instruments. ______18______. The same should go for learning. “If you
want to be able to remember information, the best thing you can do is practice,” says Katherine Rawson.
She’s a psychologist at Kent State University in Ohio. In one 2013 study, students took practice tests
over several weeks. On the final test, they scored more than a full letter grade better, on average, than
did students who studied the way they normally had.
3. Test yourself
5
That 2010 study backs up one of Nebel’s preferred study habits. Before big tests, her mom quizzed
her on the material. “Now I know that was retrieval practice,” she says. “It’s one of the best ways you
can study.” As Nebel got older, she quizzed herself. For example, she might cover up the definitions
in her notebook. Then she tried to recall what each term meant. “______19______,” Sana suggests.
“Put questions on one side and the answers on the other side.” Friends can even quiz each other on the
phone, she says. “Try to quiz yourself the way the teacher asks questions,” Nebel adds.
4. Dig deeper
It’s hard to remember a string of facts and figures if you don’t push further. Ask why things are a
certain way. How did they come about Why do they matter Psychologists call this elaboration. It’s
taking class material and “asking a lot of how and why questions about it,” Nebel says. In other words,
don’t just accept facts at face value. ________20________. And it creates a bigger network in your
brain of things that relate to one another, she says. That larger network makes it easier to learn and
remember things.
A. Some experts hold that studying late at night can be really useful
B. Of course, nothing can replace studying with your mother
C. This helps you combine new information with other things you know
D. But then you’ll be able to relearn it and learn more in your next study session
E. Create a deck of flash cards every time you learn new information
F. But research shows it’s a bad idea to squeeze all your studying into that day
G. Athletes practice sports skills

阅读下面短文，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My husband and I had booked a cruise (乘船游览) to celebrate our tenth anniversary. Having
worked hard throughout our married lives, we felt like we needed a break and an adventure. As we had
7
expected, while on board, we enjoyed good food and good company, while each stop brought us
chances to explore new places and experience new adventures. My husband’s calmness throughout all
these new experiences helped me to keep my nerves and fear of new things under control and enjoy
myself too.
We were excited as the cruise ship pulled into its final stop, a small port in Mexico, in April 2020.
Ryan and I had been zip lining (飞索) before, so when we saw signs for an ecopark boasting 11 lines
in the middle of the jungle, we thought, “Let’s go for it.”
We got off the ship at 8 am and had to be back by 5 pm. We travelled through the thick jungle in
an old jeep, enjoying the beautiful views and listening to the calls of the animals. By 10.30am, we
were admiring the view from a high platform, waiting to cross the deep gorge (峡谷) by zip line – a
distance of 700 metres. Ryan went first. It took about a minute for him to cross. Then it was my turn.
I’m petite, at 5ft 3in and 120lb, so wasn’t worried about putting too much weight on the line. I felt safe:
I was wearing all the necessary safety equipment. The guide said, “Have fun!” and sent me out.
I was 150 metres up in the air, enjoying the beautiful view of the ocean to the left and the rainforest
below. The first I knew that something had gone wrong was a loud bang, then silence. I suddenly
realized that the zip line had broken.
Paragraph 1: I was halfway across the gorge and began falling through the air.
Paragraph 2: When he reached my tree, I shouted, “Please, baby, catch me if I fall.”
