Every year, TIME magazine puts out its list of the year’s best inventions. Some of these help us solve problems. Others make life easier, or more fun. Let’s see some of them!
Easy walking
These might look like skates, but they’re actually battery-powered (电池驱动) shoes with wheels. They let you walk faster and more easily. Moonwalkers, made by Shift Robotics, use AI to sense when you’re speeding up or slowing down and adjust (调整) themselves. The wheels lock when you’re taking the stairs (台阶). With Moonwalkers, you can walk twice as fast as the average speed. Not only can you save a lot of time, but also go green!
A cooler color
The common paint on a white building reflects (反射) 80 to 90% of the sunlight that shines on it. The rest of the light warms the nearby area. But a new Whiter Paint is made of chemicals that better reflect UV rays. This paint reflects up to 98% of the sunlight.
“The heat is reflected into deep space,” says Xiulin Ruan, who led the Purdue University team that created the paint.“The paint can keep our cities cooler.” The team says it also has a lightweight paint for airplanes, cars, and even spaceships.
Stopping fires
AlertCalifornia is the public-safety program at the University of California San Diego. It uses AI to predict wildfires. The AI finds smoke and other early signs of fire, using more than 1,000 cameras in forests across the state. It warns people through text messages. In two months, the system correctly found 77 fires before any 911 calls came in.
41. What in Moonwalkers can help users control the speed?
A. The battery. B. The wheel. C. The AI. D. The lock.
42. Whiter Paint helps cool the city through ________.
A. cooling the nearby area directly B. making chemicals
C. reflecting sunlight into space D. taking in UV rays

For the rest of the school year, Dale waved goodbye dressed in different costumes. One day he was a king, the next a cook, the following Wonder Woman.

As a kind of traditional Chinese dress, Ma Mian Qun (horse face skirt) first appeared in the Song Dynasty and grew popular during the Ming Dynasty. The two sides of Ma Mian Qun are pleated (起褶的), and there is a smooth part in the middle, commonly known as “Ma Mian”.

Every year, TIME magazine puts out its list of the year’s best inventions. Some of these help us solve problems. Others make life easier, or more fun. Let’s see some of them!
Easy walking
These might look like skates, but they’re actually battery-powered (电池驱动) shoes with wheels. They let you walk faster and more easily. Moonwalkers, made by Shift Robotics, use AI to sense when you’re speeding up or slowing down and adjust (调整) themselves. The wheels lock when you’re taking the stairs (台阶). With Moonwalkers, you can walk twice as fast as the average speed. Not only can you save a lot of time, but also go green!
A cooler color
The common paint on a white building reflects (反射) 80 to 90% of the sunlight that shines on it. The rest of the light warms the nearby area. But a new Whiter Paint is made of chemicals that better reflect UV rays. This paint reflects up to 98% of the sunlight.
“The heat is reflected into deep space,” says Xiulin Ruan, who led the Purdue University team that created the paint.“The paint can keep our cities cooler.” The team says it also has a lightweight paint for airplanes, cars, and even spaceships.
Stopping fires
AlertCalifornia is the public-safety program at the University of California San Diego. It uses AI to predict wildfires. The AI finds smoke and other early signs of fire, using more than 1,000 cameras in forests across the state. It warns people through text messages. In two months, the system correctly found 77 fires before any 911 calls came in.
41. What in Moonwalkers can help users control the speed?
A. The battery. B. The wheel. C. The AI. D. The lock.
42. Whiter Paint helps cool the city through ________.
A. cooling the nearby area directly B. making chemicals
C. reflecting sunlight into space D. taking in UV rays
43. AlertCalifornia finds fires before they start with the help of ________.
A. smoke B. cameras C. text messages D. 911 calls
44. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Moonwalkers are not safe when you walk on stairs.
B. AlertCalifornia has found 1,000 fires in two months.
C. Whiter Paint reflects less sunlight than common paint.
