21、Likely to suffer from loss of memory from time to time? Smart cameras can now remind you.
Khai Truong at the University of Toronto in Canada and his colleagues have created a smartphone app that records interactions with household objects. The system involves a barcode-like markers that the user sticks to objects whose use they would like to track.
With the smartphone worn around your neck, the app automatically records a short video clip when a marked object comes into view. “The user is able to look through the application and see the last time they interacted with it.” says Truong. The app can help people track the state of objects — such as whether they locked a door or switched a light off — as well as routine actions. At present it successfully records about 75% of interactions, but only works for fixed objects.
A similar but separate system can solve the problem. E. Akin Sisbot and Jonathan Connell at IBM Research in New York have invented a ceiling-mounted (安装在天花板上的) camera that monitors objects and people. It continuously watches an area such as a tabletop in your home, tracking the placement of objects in relation to one another. It also remembers who first brought an object into the field of view as well as anyone moved it for afterwards. When asked, “Where is my wallet?” the system might respond, “It is next to the vase, under the magazines.”
The camera could also be used in factories or operating theatres to track a vital tools, says Sisbot. For now, the camera uses a deep sensor to spot things. It is limited to detecting objects thicker than 3 centimeters, meaning that it has trouble with thin objects such as a closed laptop placed flat on a table.
The accuracy of such smart camera systems may need to improve before they are widely adopted. “You’ve got to trust the technology for it to be of any comfort or reassurance.” says Geoffrey Ward at the University of Essex in UK.
【1】How does the smartphone app mentioned in Paragraph 2 work?
A．By switching of electricity automatically.
B．By scanning barcodes of household objects.
C．By recording the movement of marked objects.
D．By informing owners of potential dangers.
【2】The smart cameras may be designed for______.
A．lazy students
B．the blind
C．young adults
D．forgetful people
【3】What is the limitation of the ceiling-mounted camera?
A．It is unlikely to make a sound.
B．It is unable to recognize movable objects.
C．It fails to find objects thinner than 3 centimeters.
D．It hardly senses objects without barcode-like markers.
【4】What is Geoffrey Ward’s attitude towards smart camera systems?
A．Neutral.
B．Supportive.
C．Skeptical.
D．Opposed.
【5】What is the best title for the text?
A．New smartphones make life easier
B．Camera designers face new challenges
C．Smart cameras help inerease home security
D．New systems help people with memory problems
22、Forgotten Password? Never Again!
Passwords should be complex and varied enough to be secure, yet still memorable. 【1】 No wonder so many people use the same password over and over again or simply write them all down!
A much better idea is to follow a system. 【2】 It’s good exercise for your brain and a valuable way to protect your identity online.
The following system uses letters, numbers and symbols, so it will please even the strictest website. First, choose a short quotation, one that no one would have any reason to associate with you. Pick out the initial letters——creating the first “building block” for your passwords. 【3】.
Next, choose a meaningful date again, one that can’t be guessed or easily researched. Maybe the year of a favourite holiday, 86 say. Then add a random element by picking any two keyboard symbols: for example, & and £.
Finally, organise these building blocks in any order you like. And strengthen the code further by making some of the letters lower case, and some upper: maybe 86&£PiAs. 【4】 And then add two or three extra letters each time, a few initials or abbreviations (缩写形式) to remind you of what this particular password is for. For example, you might use BT for your phone account, or CC for the camera club forum. So the final password for your BBC account could be: BBC86&£PiAs.
【5】 But each password ends up being complex and unique, helping to protect your identity and giving your memory a cracking workout every time.
A．Start using it as the basis for every new password you set.
B．With a system like this, you’ve got a basic method to follow.
C．But with so many to keep track of, this can be hard to achieve.
D．So, if you chose, “Play it again, Sam”, you’d have the letters PIAS.
E．Spend a little time getting to know how to remember your passwords.
F．It is not difficult to memorize your passwords once you get the hang of it.
G．You save time at the setting stage, and have a clear pattern for your memory to follow.

24、Space Hotel Promises Guests A Truly Out-Of-This World Vacation
Looking for a true out-of-his-world vacation? Then you are in luck! On Thursday, Aprils, Texas-based start-up Orion Span announced they were taking reservations for Aurora (极光) Station, the world's first luxury hotel in space, which is expected to launch in 2021 and begin welcoming visitors by 2022.
The pill-shaped space station, which begins construction in 2019, will measure 43.5 feet long and 14.1 feet wide—about the size of a large private jet's cabin—when completed. It will accommodate four guests in two private suites (套房) and two crew members, most likely former astronauts. Flying about 200 miles above Earth, Aurora Station will circle the planet once every 90 minutes, enabling guests to enjoy 16 spectacular sunrises and sunsets daily, as well as scores of the breathtaking northern and southern auroras that the hotel is named after.
While admiring the beauty of our planet, tourists can eat non-astronaut food and drinks or entertain themselves with playing cards. Those hoping to do something more worthwhile will be able to engage in astronaut—like experiments such as growing food in a special environment. The Wi-Fi enabled spacecraft will make it easy for guests to share their experiences with friends and family members on Earth. At the end of the week and half-long vacation, returning guests will be treated to a special "hero's welcome", similar to the one experienced by astronauts returning from a real mission.
Before the once-in-a-lifetime trip, guests will have to undergo the three month-long special training learning how to move in a weightless environment, along with the basics of spaceflight and orbital mechanics. Also, before you start packing your bags, you will have to pay $9.5 million for the 12-day round-trip vacation.
While several companies are planning to build hotels in space, Orion Span hopes to transform sections of used rockets floating in space into hotel rooms, instead of crowding the already messy skies with additional man-made objects.
【1】What can be learned about Aurora Station?
A.People can visit it now.
B.Its construction will last for about 5 years.
C.It can only hold four people in this station.
D.It looks like a pill with the size of a small plane.
【2】Why is the station named Aurora Station?
A.Because the hotel is lit up by the auroras of the Earth.
B.Because the station will give off auroras while travelling
C.Because guests can enjoy fantastic auroras of the Earth.
D.Because the station will run around the auroras of the Earth.
【3】What can guests do in a space hotel?
A.Communicate with their family. B.Enjoy astronaut food and drinks.
C.Cook meals like they are at home. D.Receive welcome as a real hero.
【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.There is little room for people to live on the earth.
B.Too many space crafts have aroused people's concern.
C.Space hotels will be necessary in the near future.
D.Used rockets floating in space are easy to be recycled.
