Are you searching for the latest device as a gift Here, we offer a guide that will help you take a closer look at four of tech’s hottest categories.
Virtual reality
Virtual reality (VR), the most exciting tech development of recent times, has arrived. The Sony VR doesn’t require expensive phone and there are some devices you can purchase to enhance the experience. But if you’ve already got a PS4, you can enter the world of VR for just $400 (2780 yuan).
Wireless headphones
Combining ease of use with the ability to move around without limit, wireless headphones just make sense. The Bose QuietComfort 35 wireless headphones are worth a test drive. The headphones feature active noise cancellation. They can be easily purchased for less than $400 online.
Digital cameras
While your phone has more functions, there’s no substitute（替代品）for a real camera. As small as your smartphone, the smooth design of the Fujifilm X70, $699 (4850 yuan), makes it the perfect companion. In China, Xiaomi’s mirrorless Yi M1 offers a more affordable option, available for just 2199 yuan.
Smartwatches
Watches, thanks to the mobile phone, were becoming unnecessary. Now the pursuit for fitness has helped the watch industry push forward. FitBit has been a leader in the sporty wearable field, and its new swim-proof Fitbit Flex 2 ($130) represents the best in the way of today’s fitness bands.

Mike Mushaw joined the national bone marrow registry (骨髓登记) three years ago by chance. Six months later, he got a call. The 21-year-old football player's bone marrow matched a patient in Virginia. Mushaw gave a second thought to the donation, because apart from some risks, he never knew whether his donation worked.
“Finally I said yes,” Mushaw told the journalist. “Once they took my blood, I thought, ‘All right, this is real. This is going to happen.’”
Mushaw didn't know it at the time, but his donation would go to a five-month-old girl named Eleanor who was sick with a rare disease diagnosed when she was only three months old. Days and weeks passing, her condition had become more dire.
“Eleanor was going to die without a bone marrow transplant,” her mother, Jessica, said. “The choices were to either get a transplant or die early. Luckily, Mushaw’s bone cured her.”
Mushaw didn't know any of this until months after his donation. About six months after the procedure, Eleanor's parents sent him an e-mail to thank him for his selfless love.
Their surprising connection was beginning. Mushaw kept checking on her progress. Eleanor focused her attention on him, too, by watching his football games on TV. In August, Mushaw invited her family to drive from Virginia to Connecticut to meet at one of his games. They had a good time together.
In January, Mushaw reunited with Eleanor, this time in Virginia, to celebrate her birthday. It will likely be first of many celebrations together. “As a parent, it feels really great to watch someone love your kid as much as you do,” Jessica says. “We were two complete strangers, and now we've become such a big part of each other's lives.”
24．Why did Mushaw hesitate at first
A．He was a football player. B．He would face some danger.
C．He knew it wouldn't work at all. D．He didn't know whether his risks were worthy.
25．What does the underlined word “dire” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Serious. B．Complicated. C．Relieved. D．Hopeful.
26．Which of the following best describes Mushaw
A．Kind but hesitant. B．Active and confident.
C．Worried but energetic. D．Selfless and considerate.
27．What can we learn through Mushaw's story
A．Why health matters. B．Never make excuses.
C．How to be a good person. D．Love brings people together.

While some feel that bookstores are fading away, one Chinese bookstore has found new life by marching into rural areas in China to bring colorful cultural life and higher incomes lo local residents.
By absorbing local rural characteristics, the village branches of the Librairie Avantgarde Bookstore (LAB) chain have transformed into important platforms to display local history, culture and folk traditions. Not just bookstores, they are foundations helping to relieve spiritual poverty (贫困) and centers for gathering and displaying rural culture.
To better fit in the lives of local residents, earth village branch has its own characteristics, like the branch in Shaxi, southwest China’s Yunnan province. Many of nearly 20,000 books in the store are associated with the history, geography and folk customs of Yunnan and the Bai people.
“Turning in profits is not our only aim. Our bookstore has become a public gathering space for villagers. Not only young people, but many elderly residents come here. They do not buy books, but pass the time by reading or chatting with each other in our store.” Liu Xia, the bookstore owner explained.
She added that this is a cultural atmosphere that bookstores offer the area. Some residents have grown accustomed to turning to the books of the store to find answers to the troubles they face, such as operating a business or controlling tourists from urban areas. The biggest benefit of opening bookstores in villages is that it helps provide a healthy environment for children’s growth. “My kids often come to the store. They love reading books here. They gain knowledge and curiosity about outside world.” one villager said.
The arrival of the bookstore menus a lot to the village when young residents have been leaving for urban areas in recent years. During the 2020 May Day and National Day holidays, the daily number of tourists traveling to the village reached 5,000, a record high. Visitors were attracted by the bookstore. Surrounding it, several restaurants and holds have opened.
28．Which of the following best describes village branches of the LAB
A．They are disappearing gradually. B．They feature local rural cultures.
C．They could make much higher profits. D．They have set up poverty-relief foundations.
29．What do we know about the branch in Shaxi
A．It specializes in history-related books. B．It creates a public gathering space for business.
C．It shares the same features with oilier branches. D．It helps villagers know more about the Bai people.
30．What’s the greatest influence of village bookshops on the local areas
A．Attracting more people lo pay a visit. B．Offering kids a healthy atmosphere.
C．Helping residents lo acquire knowledge. D．Encouraging the young to go to big cities.
31．Which of the following can be the best title of the text
A．LAB: A Bookstore on the Rise B．Local Culture Welcomed by Tourists
C．Village Bookshops Promote Rural Life D．Great Ambitions of Village Bookstores
D
Do you find it difficult to put down your mobile phone If yes, you’re not alone. These days, many people suffer from the stress of FOMO (fear of missing out). They reach for their mobile phones when they wake up in the morning, and for the rest of the day, they constantly scroll down (向下滚动) the timelines of their social media apps to get the latest updates.
Despite the convenience smartphones bring, many people struggle with their digital habits. As Sameer Samat, US tech Company Google’s vice president of product management, said in his speech at the 2018 Google I/O developer conference on May 8th, 70 percent of people don’t want to spend so much time on their phones. This is why during the conference Google introduced an app called Dashboard for the new version (版本) of its Android operating system. This new app includes well-being functions that aim to help users manage the time they spend on their digital devices.
It all starts with a bird’s-eye view. Dashboard allows users to look at all the details of their phone habits. For example, a user can see how many times they’ve unlocked their phone and how many times they’ve checked their social media apps, as well as how much time they spend on each app every day.
Once the users see this information, they’ll be able to make some changes. With the App Timer function, users can set a time limit for how long they can use each app for every day. After they’ve hit the limit, they won’t be able to launch the app until the next day.
But even if users become more mindful of their usage, they’re still likely to be drawn in by notifications (通知). This is where the Shush feature comes in. It automatically (自动地) silences incoming calls and notifications when a user puts their phone face down.
If people truly want to make full use of their free time instead of losing hours using their smart phones, these new functions are just one way of doing that. After all, who needs to use an app to stop you from using other apps when the easiest answer would be just to use your willpower
32．Who are the target users of Dashboard
A．People who know little about smartphones.
B．People who have trouble dealing with stress.
C．People who are slow at searching for things online.
D．People who wish to manage the time they spend on their smartphone.
33．What can Dashboard do
A．Lock the phone at a certain time. B．Limit some apps to certain users.
C．Limit the time certain apps can be used. D．Silence app notifications at night.
34．The underlined word “mindful” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to ________.
A．skillful. B．careful. C．trapped. D．creative.
35．What does the author think of Dashboard
A．It’s not useful at all. B．It’s perfectly designed.
C．It should include more functions. D．It may be helpful to some people.

Dear fellow students,
It can’t be ignored that food waste commonly exists in the canteen of our school. Piles of leftovers are thrown away every day, which makes my heart ache terribly. However, many students are unconscious of their improper behaviour. Therefore, I’m writing to appeal to all of us not to waste food.
With the improvement of living standard, hunger appears to be far away from us. But we shouldn’t forget that millions of people are still starving in the world. In addition, for us civilized students, it’s a kind of respect for the farmers’ labour to eat up all food in our plates.
Dear fellow students, we can’t allow precious food to be wasted. Let’s cherish every bite of food and refuse any form of waste.
Yours,
Li Hua
