M:It's cheaper than the last one we saw and it is in a good neighborhood.
W:Well, maybe we'll have to see if the agent has anything else to show us.
[听力分析]
本题是一个长对话题目。一是问女士不喜欢什么,二是问女士建议下一步做什么。因此听录音时应特别关注和这两点相关的问题。因为这两个都是和女士相关的问题,因此要重点听她说的内容。根据女士所说的“But there is not enough cupboard space in the kitchen.”可知,她不喜欢厨房,所以应该选C;再根据女士所说的“maybe we'll have to see if the agent has anything else to show us”可知,她建议去看其他的公寓,所以应该选B。

Medha Gupta sometimes felt worried making the 20-minute walk from the corner where the school bus dropped her off to her home in Herndon, Virginia—especially during the colder months in winter.
Her mother, Divya Gupta had a suggestion:write an app.She was half-kidding, but Medha took the challenge seriously.So she went to work.
The result was Safe Travel, an app designed by Medha to help walkers feel more secure when travelling alone.Using the cell phone, a person can programme it to send a warning to someone he or she trusts if he or she fails to arrive at a destination within a certain time.
It was the first app that Medha had created.While she didn't think much would come from the project, her efforts caught the eye of judges for the annual Congressional App Challenge, who selected her as the winner for Virginia's 10th District.
The App Challenge is designed to encourage students to consider careers in science, technology, engineering, and maths by experimenting with coding and computer science.Winning students are invited to attend a reception on Capitol Hill in April.
Medha said it took her about 40 hours to design, programme and test the app.As for her next app, Medha's not certain.She temporarily has her app-development tasks on hold because she's busy teaching herself AI to help deal with improper words on the Internet.Yes, she knows that there are teams of engineers possibly doing the same thing.But she figures it can't hurt her own part, too.
“If we see something wrong with the world, we should do something about it,” she said.“After all, the only one stopping us from doing something is ourselves.”
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Medha Gupta设计了一款名为“安全旅行”的应用,它可以帮助行人在独自旅行时感到更安全。

WhatsApp's much-expected “Unsend” feature is finally ready.It has been in development for months, but has now started rolling out to users.
The feature, which is officially called “Delete for Everyone”, has also been widely referred to as “Recall” and “Revoke”.It lets you unsend messages, making them completely disappear from a conversation.They will be hidden from both yourself and the other people in the chat.
However, both you and your recipient (接受者) need to be using the latest version of WhatsApp, and it only works for messages you have sent within the last seven minutes.Once that period of time has passed, your message is there to stay.
“Delete for Everyone” can work on all types of messages, including texts, images, videos, GIFs and documents.To unsend a message, you simply need to highlight it by tapping and holding the line of text, select the “Delete” button from the menu and hit the “Delete for Everyone” option.
“This is particularly useful if you sent a message to the wrong chat or if the message you sent contains a mistake,” explains WhatsApp in an FAQ (frequently asked questions).“Messages you successfully delete for everyone will be replaced with ‘This message was deleted’ in your recipients' chats.Similarly, if you see ‘This message was deleted’ in a chat, it means that the sender deleted the message.”
WhatsApp says you will be informed if “Delete for Everyone” hasn't worked.It also warns that even if the feature does work successfully, there is a chance that the person you have been chatting to may have already seen the message before you decided to delete it.
According to WABetaInfo, the roll-out of “Delete for Everyone” is proving very slow, so don't worry if you are unable to make use of it quite yet.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了WhatsApp推出“Delete for Everyone”功能,这个功能可以让你在一定时间内取消发送过的信息,让它们完全从对话中消失。
