24、Welcome home! The Shenzhou XII manned spacecraft returned to Earth on Sept 17.The three astronauts were found in good health. Actually, the return journey was so smooth that Tang was seen playing with a pen in the return capsule.
However, there were dangerous and challenging parts that you might not know about the landing. While the return capsule entered the atmosphere, the temperature of its outside could be higher than 2, 000 degrees! “Real gold fears no fire,” Nie joked as they experienced this. Special materials on the outside of the capsule kept the astronauts safe inside.
More dangerously, the astronauts experienced a blackout (黑障) period, which was caused by the heating. It means they lost radio touch with Earth for several minutes. Radar helped people on the ground locate the capsule.
When the capsule was about 10 kilometers above the ground, it prepared to land. At the time, the capsule sill traveled at 200 meters per second. That’s twice the speed of high-speed trains! It was too fast to directly land. Therefore, parachutes (降落伞) are used to soften the landing. Even so, if a chute is too big, it might turn over, just like an umbrella on windy days. So the capsule first opened a small chute before pulling out its giant main chute—as big as 1, 200 square meters! They let the capsule slow down gradually.
Sept 17 was Liu Boming’s 55th birthday. He said it was his most memorable birthday. We can believe him!

25、Virtual (虚拟的) reality is a way to create a computer-made environment that brings the user into a virtual world. If you ever have put on a VR headset, you would know exactly what I am talking about. From an experiential view we do understand the idea, but what about the technical backend that goes into making it all possible? In this blog, we will understand the technology behind virtual reality and the basic terms about the development of a virtual ecosystem for a VR headset.
The primary subject of virtual reality is simulating (模拟) the vision. Every headset is to perfect their method to create an immersive (浸入式) 3D environment. Each VR headset puts up a screen or two in front of eyes, keeping the user away from any interaction with the real world. Two autofocus lenses (自动对焦镜片) are generally placed between the screen and the eyes that change based on eye movement and positioning. The vision appears on the screen either by using a mobile phone or HDMI line connected to a PC.
To create a truly immersive virtual reality, there are certain requirements — a frame rate (帧率) of at least 60 fps, a refresh rate and at least 100-degree field of view ( though 180 degrees is perfect). If either of these doesn’t work according to the standards, the user will experience too big of a time difference between their actions and the response from the screen. We need the response to be less than 20 ms ( 1/1000 second) to fool the brain which is achieved by joining all the above in the right proportion (比例). Another matter that needs to be looked at here is to prevent netsickness because of the differences between the frame rate and refresh rate.
Apart from the image, there are certain other things that go into creating an immersive VR experience, holding the user’s attention completely in the virtual environment. For example, sound effects, when put with the image, can create very attractive effects. By using a headphone and 3D sound effects, the user can totally believe in the virtual environment. While perfecting sound effects, proper care needs to be taken about the consistency (一致) between the pictures and the sound. If you start playing frightening music in the background of a happy scene, it will just put the user off.
In future, we will see rapid progress in creating a truly immersive digital experience. With leading players like Google, Microsoft, Oculus, and HTC making great efforts to improve the capabilities (性能), we are not far from achieving a virtual reality that would feel so much better than the real world. If you would like to develop a VR app for your business, then feel free to get in touch. With over 10 years of experience in mobile technologies, we can make every dream a reality.
【1】A VR headset helps the user _________.
A. create the vision on the screen
B. understand the technical backend
C. better experience a 3D environment
D. keep interaction with the real world
【2】The words "put the user off" in Paragraph 4 probably mean "__________".
A. take the user’s attention away
B. get the user interested
C. hold the user’s imagination back
D. help the user understand
【3】What is the main purpose of writing this passage?
A. To give a short introduction of VR.
B. To do business with certain readers.
C. To predict the bright future of VR.
D. To share experiences with readers.
【4】What can we learn from the passage?
A. The lower degree field of view, the better images.
B. Sound effects are more important than the image for VR.
C. Some big companies may create a VR better than the real world soon.
D. The brain can tell the time difference when the response is more than 20 ms.
26、At home during suppertime, Pete announced, “Baba Olena wants us to come for Easter dinner.” Mom shook her head, “That’s sweet, but I don’t think so.” Dad laughed, “I wouldn’t want to seem rude if I didn’t like her cooking. Can you tell her thanks but we already have plans?”
Pete sighed. His parents hardly knew Baba Olena. They didn’t know about her pastries (糕点) and funny sayings. All they saw was an Ukrainian woman with strange hair and a yard full of chickens.
On Easter Sunday, they passed Baba Olena’s house as they headed for Dixie’s Diner. When they arrived, they found the diner was dark, and no cars were in front of it. “What?” said Dad. “They’re always open!” “Not today,” Mom said. “Guess we’ll be making sandwiches.”
Across the street, Baba Olena stepped out of the house, waving to them.
Pete shouted, “Looks like Baba’s expecting us.” “We can’t go there,” Dad said, but Baba was hurrying over. “You came! I’m so happy,” she said. “This morning I saw the diner is closed and thought maybe you will come.”
Inside, Pete’s parents sat stiff (僵硬地) as yardsticks while Baba was busy with her pastries happily.
Dad looked at something red on the table. “What’s this?” “Beet (甜菜) salad. I use the juice for my hair.” Baba and Pete smiled at each other.
“And this—” She set down bowls of what looked like little half-moon pastries—“is Ukrainian stuffed dumplings. These have cabbage filling; those have potato. No crane today.”
Mum looked at her, open-mouthed.
Pete laughed and explained about the “crane” chips. Dad and Mum laughed, too.
Mum took a small bite. “Delicious!” “Oh, good you like it.” Baba said.
By the time she cut the round Easter bread, everyone was talking. “Now I see why Pete wanted to eat here,” Dad said. Mum nodded. “And why he speaks highly of you nonstop.”
Later, Baba brought out the basket of eggs. “It’s an old Ukrainian tradition to play with Easter eggs,” she said. “See, Pete, hold yours to mine, end to end, like this. The egg that doesn’t break, wins.”
Pete held his egg ready. “I already won something,” he said.
【1】When Pete sighed, he mostly felt _________.
