The designer of the Music Memory Box,Chloe Meineck,got the idea for the box from her great-grandmother's experience with dementia.This happened during Chloe's nursing home visits to her great-grandmother,as she was never able to recognize Chloe.However,when she was able to hear some songs from her past,she started remembering moments and stories from the past. 3 And she developed her first one in 2011.Once she graduated from university,she made more prototypes()which she sent to some families for testing.4 Monica Garrity said that she and her husband Steve,a dementia patient,started using the music box in 2017 with the hope of helping him remember events from their marriage,and they've been using the box often ever since."We have been able to connect again.It is wonderful,"said Monica."5 However,when the music plays,he sings along and even reaches out his hand to hold mine.It takes us back to our past.” A.He doesn't usually communicate with me.

Nicholas Tew,an ecologist,was curious about how much food could be provided in different types of landscapes.Tew and a team of researchers looked at the information they collected from different sites across the United Kingdom.The team studied three landscape types:city areas, farms and nature reserves.They recorded hundreds of types of flowering plants.They found cities had much more flowering plants than other areas.People often plant them for their beauty.Farm sites and nature reserves had fewer types of plants. "Being rich in the types of plants is important because different pollinators prefer different types of flowers,"Tew says.They may prefer yellow flowers over purple ones,for example.Or broad flowers over those that are cup-shaped."Flowers have different shapes,sizes,colours and smells,and pollinators are different in their preferences,"Tew notes.The more types of flowering plants there are in one area,the more favourite food pollinators can find. The researchers looked more closely at city sites.They examined eight types of places within four cities.These included nature reserves,vegetable gardens,flower gardens and other green spaces.The team also looked at parks,sidewalks,parking lots and industrial areas.Flower gardens,the team found,provide 85 percent of food for pollinators in city areas. "This excellent study shows that small city gardens are important for pollinators,"says Xingwen Loy,who was not in the team."We should continue to create such places to support city pollinators,"he says.

It's time to flip the high school day,he says,and he has plans for how to do it.The basic idea is that almost all students would benefit from gaining all kinds of real work experiences in high school because they would have a better understanding of their strengths and their possible directions in life-a gap in present high schools'education. In Harris's vision of a flipped school day,students would start their day at 9 a.m.-more in line with the research on when teenagers should wake up and start their days.After working half a day,the students would then break for lunch and head to school to do their extracurricular( activities and work on projects with their classmates.Finally,in the evenings,students would take their classes online from home when their parents are more likely to be at home-also more in line with research that suggests students tend to do better in later-day courses.They wouldn't have homework,as work would simply be included into their online learning experiences. One of Harris's opinions is that a big reason school exists is that it plays an important role in the lives of many families.For years,the only way to learn from a teacher was in a classroom.But with online learning,students can learn anywhere,which means that you can change what you do during the times when it's important to provide care for students.All too often,students are already doing most of their learning late in the evening anyway.Rather than fight it,why not accept it? Doing so would equip students with an understanding of how their learning connects to their careers after school,which would help them build motivation()for when and what they learn online-which itself could be far more suitable for their learning needs,both in terms of the choice of courses and in terms of the learning pace and path within the courses. ()1.The author mentions "flipping the classroom"to show A.it differs from the practice of "flipping the school day" B.it is an idea too old for present schools to carry out C.it gives birth to the idea of"flipping the school day" D.it has led to a lot of serious problems in schools ()2.The underlined word“it”in Paragraph4 refers to“ 为 A.learning online in the day B.studying late in the evening C.learning outside school D.studying in the classroom )3.Which one is an advantage of a flipped school according to Harris? A.Saving students'learning time to do more social work. B.Helping students make better choices for their future jobs. C.Playing an important role in the lives of many families. D.Providing more chances for students to know the online world. ()4.What is the best title for the text?

The walking car has four“legs”which can be folded up..With its“legs”folded up,it looks like a normal four-wheeled car.But when getting stuck or needing to travel over terrain()that is difficult or impassable for wheels alone,it uses its walking ability.Besides,the walking car can also climb a 5-foot high wall and step over a 5-foot wide gap-all while keeping its body and passengers completely level. The design of the four-legged car aims to improve transportation on and off the road.Hyundai thinks its four-legged cars have the potential to make the world a better place.They can do many tasks related to scientific exploration,like exploring the surface of another planet.What's more, the walking car can deliver food or medical supplies during a natural disaster or other emergencies. "When an earthquake hits,transports we have now can only get first rescue teams to the edge of the disaster-hit area,"said the leader of the company."They have to go the rest of the way on foot. The walking car is different,which can quickly reach the scene and climb right over broken roads." According to the company,this amazing machine will not only benefit people in disaster areas, but also those in wheelchairs who have no ramps()outside their house.If they need to go out, they can call a four-legged taxi which can walk up to their front door,level itself out,and allow the wheelchair to move inside. It's said that the walking cars might come onto the market in a few years.For now,they're still under development,with focus on perfecting the technology. ()1.How can the walking car climb a wall and step over a gap? A.With its flying ability. B.With its walking ability. C.With its power. D.With its wheels. ()2.What's the main purpose of designing the walking car? A.To make its company the leader in the field. B.To reduce the environmental pollution. C.To deliver food and medical supplies.

A.illnesses B.accidents C.explorations D.transports ()4.Which statement is TRUE according to the passage? A.The car will change into the "walking"form when there are passengers inside. B.The walking cars have come onto the market. C.The four-legged car might help scientists explore other planets. D.The cars can only benefit people in disaster areas now.

Why is "pay-for-knowledge"industry developing so fast?First,its development is based on the Internet.With a fast network and a smartphone,anyone who has passed the identity check can be an online teacher,and anyone with an online account can buy "pay-for-knowledge" products.Second,people are afraid to miss any information.On one hand,people hope for more useful information.On the other hand,such information is usually at the hands of experts who serve famous companies and universities.Moreover,the need to learn new skills in today's job market also pushes people to learn on such educational podcasts. The industry of "pay-for-knowledge"has proved to be lucrative.It promises possibilities of changing information into money.It is good for the development of our country and it can help sellers make lots of money.Besides,buyers can enjoy self-growth from it.What's more,this is a reflection of respect for knowledge and talents.

The volcanoes mentioned above have one thing in common:They are all located in the Ring of Fire,or the Circum-Pacific Belt.This is a 40,000-kilometre path along the Pacific Ocean. Seventy-five percent of Earth's volcanoes are located along this path.Ninety percent of Earth's earthquakes also happen there. Volcano eruptions and earthquakes in the Ring of Fire are caused by the active movement of tectonic plates.The plates push against each other and cause the rocks to melt and become magma.When too much magma gathers underground,it needs to find a way out,releasing lava at temperatures of800℃tol,000℃. Some volcanic eruptions are explosive and others are not.This depends on the magma.If magma is thin and runny,gases in it can get out easily.Then the magma just flows out slowly, giving people enough time to go away.If magma is thick and sticky,gases cannot escape easily. Pressure builds up until the gases escape violently and explode.This type of eruption can be dangerous.The ash that erupts into the sky can suffocate plants,animals,and humans.
