Today,we study litcrature (from a young age-learning about our histories,worlds and
influential people.Whether we notice or not,these stories guide us throughout our lives.They
allow us to see the world through another's eyes,open up our world and teach us about every
subject known to man.Although they are important,many people throw out their old books laying
waste the wisdom that lies on each page.Try to save this knowledge and share it with people,a
garbage man (in Bogota,Colombia has been saving thrown-away books for 20 years and
sharing them with those in need.
"I hated to see all the books in the dustbins of wealthier neighborhood,so I started to rescue
them,"said Gutierrez.The first book he found was a copy of the classic novel Anna Karenina
written by Leo Tolstoy(托尔斯泰).The Tolstoy book was later joined by The Little Prince,
Sophie's World,The lliad and a number of novels.Today,he has collected around 25,000 books.
His growing collection didn't go unnoticed.Gutierrez's neighbors were soon borrowing the
books to help with their children's homework."There was a lack of them in our neighborhood,so
we started to help."said Gutierrez.
The ground floor of Gutierrez's home is now filled with books,from floor to ceiling.He
opened it up as a free library,with the help of his wife Luz Gutierrez and their three children.
Word finally spread around about Gutierrez and his books.Most of the books now come from
donations.He now travels around the country delivering free books to poor and remote areas.The
library named "The Strength of Words",has donated books to some 235 schools,institutions and
community libraries across Colombia.

Using a raised eyebrow or smile,people with speech or physical disabilities can now operate
their Android-powered smartphones without using their hands,Google said on Thursday.
Two new tools put machine learning and front-facing cameras on smartphones to work,
identifying face and eye movements.Users can look at their phone screens and select a task by
smiling,raising eyebrows,opening their mouths,or looking to the left,right or up.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that 61 million adults in the United
States live with disabilities,which has pushed Google,Apple and Microsoft to make products and
services more accessible to them."Every day,people use voice instructions,like 'Hey Google',or
their hands to operate their phones,"the tech giant Google said in a blog post."However,that's
not always possible for people with serious physical or speech disabilities."
The changes are the result of two new features:One is called"Camera Switches",which lets
people use their faces instead of taps to interact with smartphones.The other is Project Activate,a
new Android application which allows people to use those gestures to start an action,like having a
phone play a recorded phrase,send text,or make a call.The tree Activate app is available in
Australia,Britain,Canada and the United States at the Google Play Store.
Apple,Google and Microsoft have kept rolling ou.inventions that make Interet technology
more accessible to people with disabilities or who find that age has made some tasks,such as
reading,more difficult.Voice-instructed digital assistants built into speakers and smartphones can
enable people with sight or movement challenges to tell computers what to do.There is software
that identifies text on web pages or in images and then reads it aloud,as well as automatic
generation of captions that display what is said in videos.Apple built "Assistive Touch"into the
software powering its smartwatches.It lets touchscreen displays be controlled by sensing
movements such as finger pinches or hand clenches.
28.What is the main role of the two new taols.
A.Taking sharper photographs with a phone.
B.Using smartphones with face gestures.
C.Curing people's speech or physical disabilities.
D.Increasing the fun of playing with smartphones.
29.What do we know about the Project Activate app?
A.It's sold at a high price.
B.It's mainly used to send texts
C.It's instructed by voice.
D.It's being used in a few countries
30.What does the underlined phrase "rolling out"in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A.Picking out.B.Referring to.
C.Bringing out.
D.Reacting to.

31.What's the author's purpose in writing the dast paragraph?
A.To promote Android-powered smartphones.
B.To encourage more movements suitable for the disabled.
C.To explain the problems disabled smartphone users have.

It is not always casy to understand animal behavior,especially when it's related to other
species.For decades,researchers have observcd prcas (attacking and even killing porpoises
in the Pacific Northwest.But it confuses people that these expert hunters don't ear them,
so what's going on here?
Southem Resident orcas are a different population of orcas that live in the Pacific Northwest.
The lives of these orcas are closely ticd to those of the salmon,so if the salmon disappear,so too
will the orca.But despite their preference for the salmon,these whales are known to attack and kill
other smaller marine mammals(海洋哺乳动物)without eating them.
To better understand this unusual behavior,an international team of researchers did a research
and examined more than 60 years of recorded interactions between Southern Resident orcas and
porpoises in the Salish Sea.
"Why don't the Southern Residents just eat porpoises instead?"Deborah Giles of Wild Orca
said."It's because fish-eating killer whales have a completely different ecology and culture from
orcas that eat marine mammals.Therefore,we must conclude that their interactions with porpoises
serve a different purpose,but this purpose has only been a guess until now."
According to Giles and her colleagues'work,the orca may be attacking the porpoise as a
form of social play.It is possible these large animals may be attacking the smaller mammals as a
way to build up social cohesion ()Similarly,the behavior could represent hunting practice,
by which the orcas are practising their teamwork and cooperation skills for hunting salmons.
Finally,the behavior could be a way of"mismothering"where the orca see the smaller porpoises
as weaker or ill and so in need of care.
This work highlights the need for the protection of salmon populations in the area as well as
the orcas'entire hunting range.The threat to the salmon's future is not just a threat to a single
species,but an entire ecosystem.
32.Why did an international team of researchers do their study?
A.To find out a way to protect porpoises.
B.To make sure the reason why some orcas attack salmon.
C.To solve the problem of marine mammals'living environment.
D.To better understand the strange behavior of Southern Resident orcas.
33.What is Southern Resident orcas'favorite food?
A.the porpoise.
B.the marine mammal.
C.the salmon.
D.the whale.
34.According to Giles'research,which may be a reason for the orcas'attacking porpoises?
A.It's a kind of social play with porpoises.
B.It is a practice to kill porpoises as their food.
C.The orcas may dislike the smaller porpoises.
D.It's a way for the orcas to practice their hunting skills.
35.What probably is the writer's attitude to the research?
A.Positive.
B.Indifferent.
C.Doubtful.
D.Uncertain.

stepped up to carefully examine the skinny reptile,he realized it had been shot through the head
and then left cyes.
He knew,dangerous as it was,he couldn't leave the poor animal there,alone and helpless.
Chito acted quickly,calling for the help of several brave friends to load the heavy reptile into his
boat.He knew if he could heal it,he would then send it back into the wild.He named the huge
reptile Bocho",which means strength and began to care for him in his own backyard.
The kind and helpful fisherman started to heal Pocho with medicine,food,and more
importantly,lots of care and attention.Chito fed the crocodile a steady diet of chicken and fish.He
bought medicine to prevent infection (and even slept by his side at night.
Affection was one of the most important factors.Chito gave him kisses and hugs.He talked
to him and petted him."The crocodile needed my love to regain the will to live,"he said.In time,
Pocho improved enough to returned to normal health.It was time for him to return to his own river
in the wild.Chito and his friends loaded the crocodile back into his boat and set him free in a
nearby river.The two parted ways and Chito returned home alone.
