24、Is your TV connected to the Internet? What about your chair, or your fridge? Probably they are not. But in the future, most things in your home may be connected, thanks to the so-called “Internet of things”.
The Internet of things may be coming sooner than you think. Earlier this year, Samsung CEO spent a lot of time talking about the Internet things. He said that four years from now, every Samsung product will be part of the Internet of things, no matter whether it’s a remote control or a washing machine.
So, how do household objects that are part of the Internet of things work? Well, think of a common chair. When connected to the Internet, the chair warms up when it knows the user has just walked into the room and is feeling cold.
An Internet-connected camera could help people feel safer in their homes. It can know people’s faces and has an infrared sensor(红外传感器), so even if it’s dark it can see when someone passes by and send you a message on your smartphone to let you know who’s there. If the person is someone you don’t know, it can tell you that, too.
But according to MIT Technology Review, whether companies are connecting dog food bowls or security(安全)systems to the Internet, there may be some problems. For example, many early connected-home objects don’t have much built-in security, which means they could be hacked. Moreover, it could be difficult to get these new machines to work together especially when they are made by different companies. To fight this, many companies have joined the Open Interconnect Consortium, which had 45 members by late 2015.
So, picture this: you enter your home.The temperature changes to make you feel comfortable. Your favorite music starts playing for you. Do you think that this would be a good thing? It may happen sooner than you think.
【1】According to Samsung CEO, when will his product be part of the Internet of things?
A. In 2010 B. In 2020
C. In 2030 D. In 2040
【2】We can infer(推断) from paragraphs 3 and 4 that _____________.
A. the chair can know whether the user feels cold or not
B. an unusual chair can warm up when it knows the user comes in
C. an Internet-connected camera can be used to take photos in the house
D. an Internet-connected camera can be connected to the user's smartphone
【3】What does the article mainly talk about?
A. Advantages of living with the Internet
B. Disadvantages of living with the Internet
C. The coming “Internet of things”
D. The impossible “Internet of things”
【4】Which of the following words best describes the writer’s tone (语气)in the article?
A. Doubtful(可疑的) B. Hopeful
C. Humorous D. Worried
25、Once upon a time, a teacher and his student lay down under a big tree near a big grass area. Then suddenly the student asked the teacher, “Teacher, I wonder how I can find my good friend. Could you please help me?”
Silent for a few seconds, the teacher then answered, “Well, it’s a pretty hard and an easy question.”
“Look that way, there is a lot of grass, why don’t you walk there? Please don’t walk back-wards, just walk straight ahead. On your way, try to find a blade of beautiful grass and pick it up and then give it to me. But just one.”
The student said, “Well, OK then…wait for me…” and walked straight ahead to the grassy field. A few minutes later the student came back. The teacher asked, “Well, I don’t see a beautiful blade of grass in your hand.”
The student said, “On my way, I found quite a few beautiful blade of grass, but I thought that I would find a better one, so I didn’t pick it. But I didn’t realize that I was at the end of the field, and I hadn’t picked any because you told me not to go back, so I did as you told.”
The teacher said, “That’s what will happen in real life.”
What is the meaning of this story? In the story, “grass” is the people around you, “the beautiful blade of grass” is the people that attract you and “the grassy field” is time.

Chess is called the game of kings. People have been playing it for over 500 years. Chess comes from an even older game from India. The chess we play today is from Europe.
Chess is a two-player game. One player uses the white pieces. The other uses the black pieces. Each piece moves in a special way. One piece is called the king. Each player has one. The players take turns moving their pieces. If a player lands on a piece, he or she takes it. The game ends when a player loses his or her king. There are a few more rules, but those are the basics(基本规则).
Some people think that chess is more than a game. They think that it makes the mind stronger. Good chess players use their brains. They take their time. They think about what will happen next. These skills are useful in life and in chess. Chess is quite like an exercise for the mind.
You don’t always have lots of time to think when playing chess. There is a type of chess with short time limits (限制). It’s called blitz chess. In blitz chess, each player gets ten minutes to use for the whole game. Your clock runs during your turn. You hit the time clock after your move. This stops your clock. It also starts the other player’s clock. If you run out of time, you lose.
Chess is not just for people. Computers have been playing chess since the 1970s. At first they did not play well. They made mistakes. As time went on they grew stronger. In 1997, a computer beat the best player in the world for the first time. It was a computer called Deep Blue. Deep Blue was big. It took up a whole room. By 2006 a cell phone could beat the best players in the world. Chess surely has come a long way.
