21、New smart wheelchairs are designed to allow users more freedom of movement. Some even allow them to raise or lower the seats or to go up and down stairs. Now, Scewo, a Swiss company, has designed their futuristic motorized wheelchair Scewo Bro that is a complete solution with multitasking innovation. This smart wheelchair is so advanced and multifunctional that it won the Design Prize in 2018 and has been recognized as a pioneer in the medical technology industry.
With clearly defined lines and a reduction to the essentials, the design team developed a clear design language. That way, Scewo Bro is seen as a new generation of wheelchairs at first glance. Scewo Bro users can control the wheelchair either by a touch interface (界面) or a smartphone. They can switch from one to the other and can also choose from three different modes: park mode, drive mode, and track mode. This allows for any terrain (地形) and for people with mobility disabilities to be independent.
Built with safety in mind, the seat always balances itself so the user stays in a sitting position. This feature allows users to deal with different terrains without the risk of tipping over. Besides, the foot rests, seat, and arm rests are designed to be comfortable and adjustable.
The smart wheelchair can go up to 35 kilometers on one charge and can go 10 kilometers per hour. If a break is needed, just put the chair into the relaxation position. The smart wheelchair comes with two secure storage areas for people on the go to store valuables. It can fit in the trunk of a car and can be charged in just five hours.
Scewo Bro is available in Switzerland, Austria, and Germany. While the first batch(首批) has sold out, people can pre-order for delivery at the end of 2021. This futuristic wheelchair will allow for increased movement and a better quality of life for people with mobility issues.

22、 I want you all to know that I’ve quit social media, and my life has gotten so much better. I mean, it’s only been 15 minutes but I can already tell I’m a different person. Fifteen minutes ago, I stopped using Facebook and Twitter. Within seconds, I noticed I am happier, less irritable, more contemplative(深思熟虑的) and balanced. I’m spending more time on activities that matter. Just in the past two minutes, I’ve looked at a book on my bookshelf and briefly pondered opening it.
I’m truly changing. This is going to sound crazy, but since quitting social media—now, let’s see, 16 minutes ago—all of my senses are enhanced. My eyesight is clearer. Food tastes better. I just smelled the first tulips of spring. I am jolted by a burst of energy. Every morning I am going to meditate or at least lie in my bed and consider meditating.
What purpose does social media serve, anyhow? The academics tell us it’s making us miserable—the constant updates from friends with their expensive vacations and gossips about celebrities. If you think about it, the Internet was really only supposed to be for one thing: ordering socks from J. Crew. Then people started posting photographs of their dogs in Halloween costumes, and we all began sending Happy Birthday wishes to classmates we’d lost touch with since fifth grade, and the whole thing became the nightmare.
Social media ruins perfectly good human beings. There are people I love in real life and hate on social media. Worst still, social media stifles( 抑 制 ) creativity. They’ve studied this in rats, you know. Scientists made rats quit using Facebook, and when they came back in a few hours, all of the rats were writing really solid debut novels.
It’s been 17 minutes. I have a feeling that my quitting social media is having a physical effect. All I did was quit looking at my phone 900 times a day. I’ll tell them the secret. Quit social media. All of life’s annoying problems will be over. Your relationships will improve. You’ll never feel down. You’ll never get stuck in traffic.
Do I miss it? Thanks for asking. I don’t even know why I thought it was so important. I do not need to see the 800th photo from my co-worker’s trip. I have no idea how a hot topic is going on. And it’s OK. I can’t imagine going back. I’ve quit social media. It’s only been 18 minutes, but I’m pretty sure I’m going to make it a full twenty.

23、Since 2006, when Corning, an American glassmaker, developed Gorilla Glass to give Apple’s first iPhone a scratch-resistance (防划) screen, many other types of toughened glass have also appeared for use in handsets. But as well-made as they are, people keep cracking and breaking them. Jingwei Hou, at the University of Queensland in Australia, thinks he has found a way to prevent that.
Dr Hou and his colleagues are among a number of researchers working on a group of materials called perovskites (钙钛矿). The original perovskite, calcium titanium oxide (CaTiO3), is a mineral discovered in the Ural Mountains in 1839 and named after Count Lev Perovski, a Russian mineralogist.
Since then, the name has come to be used for a number of materials that share a similar crystal (晶体) structure.
Much of the interest in perovskites comes because those which combine metal atoms with chlorine, bromine or iodine —members of a group of elements called halogens (卤素) —are semiconductors, which are a solid substance that allows some electricity to pass through it. This makes them potentially useful in a variety of electronics. In particular, one promising feature of metal halides (卤化物) is that they can be used to make new types of solar cells which are much better at turning sunlight into electricity than the silicon-based (硅基) cells currently employed. Oxford PV, a British company, is bringing some of the first perovskite solar cells to market.
Dr Hou and his colleagues have found another important use of the materials. Their study, which was published recently in Science, showed that perovskite screens were efficient light emitters (发光体) able to produce sharp, bright images. Meanwhile, the screens were extremely tough and highly flexible. “Perovskite screens might be unbreakable,” believes Dr Hou. “They can be used not just for phones, but also for products ranging from televisions and computers to lighting.” But he does believe it could take five to ten years of development before this will happen. In the meantime, people should take a bit more care with the screens on their devices.
【1】What problem are the researchers trying to solve?
A．How to further reduce Gorilla Glass’s weight.
B．How to make phone screens tough enough.
C．How to better prevent scratches on screens.
D．How to lower the cost of toughened glass.
【2】What can we learn about perovskites?
A．They were discovered over 200 years ago.
B．They were named by an Australian scientist.
C．They are widely available in the Ural Mountains.
D．They are a class of materials with a similar structure.
【3】Which of the following is a use of metal halides?
A．Replacing semiconductors.
B．Making solid substances flexible.
C．Producing high-efficiency solar cells.
D．Extending the life of silicon-based cells.
【4】What does Dr Hou think of perovskite screens?
A．They break easily in cold weather.
B．They will soon come onto the market.
C．They are highly sensitive to bright sunlight.
D．They may be used in various electronic devices.

Two decades since the founder of Zappos first put forward the idea of selling shoes via the Internet and struggled to convince investors（投资人）, e-commerce, or online shopping, has taken over. If there's one thing Zappos has taught us, it's that customer experience matters. The retail giant got ahead by encouraging customers to order multiple sizes of the same product, and then providing a free and easy way to return whatever didn't fit.
Today, chatbots and mobile apps allow online retailers to ensure customer success. Machine learning technologies also provide personalized recommendations based on a user' s search history. And overnight delivery has become commonplace. Even so, some aspects of the in-store experience go missing when shopping in the digital world.
Fortunately, we have live commerce. By combining e-commerce with live streaming, live commerce helps improve participation, bridge the gap between customers and products, drive sales, and, in cases where bidding is involved, increase the average sales price.
This trend controls the market in China. Taobao, the world's biggest e-commerce website, gives the power to farmers, business owners, and self-employed entrepreneurs with consumer-to-consumer live streaming. Successful influencers on Taobao rise to celebrity-like status, helping promote the shopping experience. Beyond just generating fans, top sellers like Li Jiaqi and Weiya bring home serious money
Danielle Bailey, managing vice president of intelligence firm 12 Inc.. once put it, "China used to be thought of as a copycat…but now more western tech and retail leaders are being inspired by the all-channel retail, social commerce, and mobile commerce innovations in China.”
【1】What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A.To arouse readers' interest in the topic of the text.
B.To attract people' s attention to live commerce
C.To suggest people need help from high technology.
D.To show it's easy to get things done with a computer.
【2】In what aspect did Zappos do better than other retail companies?
A.It offered fast free return shipping.
B.It provided shoes that fit a customer best.
C.It stressed the fulfillment of consumers' needs.
D.It received large amounts of money from investors.
【3】What is the main difference between live commerce and e-commerce?
A.Big names in live commerce are more famous.
B.Top sellers in live commerce make more money
C.E-commerce involves less in-person experience
D.E-commerce includes a smaller range of people.
【4】What can we infer from Danielle Bailey' s words?
A.China copies what other countries do.
B.Western world falls behind in business.
C.China is the most creative country in the world
D.China is taking the lead in live streaming business.
