Panasonic named the product “Megahonyaku”. It is a term for the Japanese words for “megaphone” and “translate”, which actually makes a lot of sense because it’s a megaphone that can translate Japanese into several other languages in real time. When a user speaks Japanese into the megaphone, it recognizes (辨认) and translates what is being said immediately, and outputs the words in English, Chinese or Korean. It sounds amazing, and seeing it in action is wonderful, but Megahonyaku is not good enough. It cannot translate everything you say, as it only stores 300 common expressions, like “The train has been put off” or “Watch your step”. However, the Japanese company behind Megahonyaku promises to add new expressions regularly, which users can get on the Internet. The machine was designed to be used in places like transport stations, airports and places of interest, where quick and exact announcements are needed most. Around 30 Japanese organizations, including the police and guides, have been trying out Megahonyaku for about one year, but Panasonic says it will come onto the market on December 20th. Instead of selling these speech translators, Panasonic plans on renting (出租) them out for less than $ 183 a month on a three-year agreement, and offering users future improvements and necessary services. Panasonic has also said that it may add support for other languages, like Russian, depending on customers’ needs. Megahonyaku also includes a touch screen that allows users to choose the language they need their speech translated into. 1. Panasonic has produced Megahonyaku so that ______ . A. guides can translate Chinese into Japanese faster B. Japanese companies can receive foreigners better C. foreigners can talk with the Japanese freely D. the Japanese can learn other languages easily 2. The third paragraph is mainly about the ______ of Megahonyaku. A. invention B. importance C. disadvantage D. history 3. It can be learnt from Paragraph 4 that Megahonyaku ______ . A. may be popular with the police B. is widely used in private homes C. will be sold on December 20th D. stores about 30 foreign languages 4. According to the passage, Panasonic will ______ in the future. A. sell Megahonyaku to foreign visitors B. bring down the price of Megahonyaku C. change the screen of Megahonyaku D. improve Megahonyaku regularly Ⅵ. 任务型阅读 How to Take a Nap Whether you think you need daytime rest or not, picking up a nap is a smart, healthy move. A 2010 British study found that a mid-day nap was the best way to deal with the mid-afternoon tiredness. And, unbelievably, a 2017 study showed that people who napped regularly had a 37 percent reduced risk of dying from heart disease compared to people who didn’t nap. To get the most out of your rest, follow these tips. How long to sleep: Naps provide a lot of help depending on how long they are, says MentalFloss.com. A 20-minute nap will improve alertness (机敏); a 90-minute nap can strengthen creativity. So have a nap between 20 to 90 minutes. If you wake up from a nap feeling confused or more tired, it’s likely that your timing was just off. What time to sleep: Prevention.com say’s that you experience a natural drop in body temperature between 1 pm and 3 pm. A power nap at this time can improve alertness for several hours and, for most people, won’t affect the sleep at night. How to get comfortable: MentalFloss.com says it takes about 50 percent longer to fall asleep sitting up than lying down. (That’s why we sleep so poorly on planes and trains!) Pick a dark, quiet place. Surprisingly, the best place to sleep may be a hammock (吊床) if you have one. Consider a “caffeine nap”: It sounds strange, but drinking coffee right before a nap may be very helpful for your alertness after the nap. Since caffeine takes 20 to 30 minutes to take full effect, you’ll feel even more alert after your 20-minute nap. How to Take a Nap Finding It’s good for you to form the ___1___ of taking naps. Evidence A 2010 British study found that there is no ___2___ way to reduce the mid-afternoon tiredness than a mid-day nap.
