26、Imagine turning on the GPS and seeing an image of your car from above. As the car drives, the map follows along in real time, informing you of any traffic, pedestrians, animals or other things nearby. Routes and names of road appear over the live stream. It's like the map has come to life.
This type of map isn't available yet. But it could be very soon. In 2014, the WorldView-3 satellite was sent into space. Even though it orbits Earth at more than 370 miles (600km) away, it can take images of objects on Earth that are just 10 inches (25cm) across. Looking all the way from outer space, it can make out a smart phone held in your hand. It can tell what types of cars are travelling down a road. But it can't identify your face or read the cars' license plate numbers.
According to some reports, this satellite and other US satellites have the technology to take even sharper images, with a resolution of up to around 4 inches (10cm). But US law forbids making these super-sharp pictures public. But the idea that anybody might be able to spy on the entire Earth in such detail may seem scary. Live, high-detail satellite mapping could be used to keep tabs on anybody at any time, without the person's knowledge. Ray Purdy of University College London told CNN that he couldn't imagine what this could mean for privacy. "Most satellites are commercially owned, so if you have money, you can have that imagery. It means anyone can spy on anyone." he said.
At the same time, live, detailed maps of the Earth's surface could aid humanity in amazing ways. Satellite images can help experts track storms as they form and chart their paths. At high detail, live maps of a disaster area could quickly reveal people in need of rescue as well as the safest routes in or out. Satellites images are already helping the police catch illegal fishing operations. Higher detail may make it possible to catch other criminals in the act. The images could also make it easier for farmers to watch over their crops or for scientists to find minerals. Also, these images play a very important role in monitoring the health of forests and other landscapes.
What do you think? Would you like to see everyone accessing high-detail live maps of the Earth's surface? Please share your idea with us on the website.

27、 High school is more than just attending classes and trying to get good grades. Students can take full advantage of the opportunities high school offers them to explore their interests and interact with fellow students in activities and clubs.
Honor Societies
For students who do well academically or artistically, there are organizations like the National Honor Society, National Science Honor Society and National Art Honor Society that reward students whose achievements are superior. Students who desire to be a part of high school honor societies are required to have grade point averages of at least 3.0, on a 4.0 scale, and may have to get nominated (提名) by teachers or request recommendation letters. While these organizations focus on scholarship, they also teach members leadership skills and encourage community service.
Sports and Athletics Clubs
Whether formally joining a sports team or simply participating in school activities, high schools offer students a wide range of sports and athletics clubs. Helping students stay active and healthy, these clubs teach students the importance of teamwork, patience and practice.
Community Service Organizations
Organizations like the Key Club International and Habitat for Humanity help students give back to their communities by participating in structured service learning activities. From cleaning a local park to distributing (分配) Thanksgiving baskets to the homeless, these organizations teach children the importance of reaching out a helping hand to those in need.
Career Development Clubs
Determining the right career path comes from exploring different options to learn what each career requires and how it fits your interests. High schools develop clubs and organizations dedicated to students who want to own businesses, become teachers, doctors, lawyers and actors, among many other careers. Students participating in these clubs are active in the community and often compete against students on local, regional and sometimes national levels. Clubs like DECA (an association of marketing students) and FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America) have students compete against one another to test their business skills. Other career-oriented clubs include organizations for future teachers, debate and photography enthusiasts.

28、 The negative health effects of being economical on sleep during the week can't be reversed by marathon weekend sleep sessions, according to a new study.
Researchers have long known that routine sleep deprivation can cause weight gain and increase other heath risks, including diabetes. But for those who force themselves out of bed bleary-eye each weekday after too few hours of shut-eye, hope springs eternal that shutting off the alarm on Saturday and Sunday will repay the weekly sleep debt and reverse any ill effects.
The research, published in Current Biology, crushes those hopes. Despite complete freedom to sleep in and nap during a weekend recovery period, participants in a sleep laboratory who were limited to five hours of sleep on weekdays gained nearly three pounds over two weeks and experienced metabolic disruption that would increase their risk for diabetes over the long term. While weekend recovery sleep had some benefits after a single week of insufficient sleep, those gains were wiped out when people plunged back into their same sleep-deprived schedule the next Monday.
“If there are benefits of catch-up sleep, they' re gone when you go back to your routine. It's very short-lived,” said Kenneth Wright, director of the sleep and chronobiology laboratory at the University of Colorado at Boulder, who oversaw the work. "These health effects are long-term. It's kind of like smoking once was-people would smoke and wouldn't see an immediate effect on their health, but people will say now that smoking is not a healthy lifestyle choice. I think sleep is in the early phase of where smoking used to be. "
Michael Grandner, director of the sleep and health research program at the University of Arizona College of Medicine, said the study reinforces the concept that people need to stop thinking of sleep as a balance sheet. Imagine a person who ate nothing but cheeseburgers and frenchfries Monday through Friday, but dined only on celery and kale on the weekend and tried to call that a healthy diet, he said.
Drastically cutting calories all week and then bingeing on a giant pizza on Saturday wouldn't restore balance either. That, he argued, is essentially what people are doing when they skip sleep on weekdays with the idea they can make up for it on the weekend.
Wright said that the study suggests people should prioritize sleep-cutting out the optional "sleep stealers" such as watching television shows or spending time on electronic devices. Even when people don't have a choice about losing sleep because of child-care responsibilities or job schedules, they should think about prioritizing sleep in the same way they would a healthy diet or exercise.
【1】Smoking is mentioned in Paragraph 4. _______.
A. as an example of short-term negative health effects
B. to show how short-lived catch-up sleep benefits are
C. to illustrate the effects of insufficient sleep on people's health
D. as a lifestyle choice causing immediate effects on people's health
【2】Those skipping sleep on weekdays and catching up sleep on weekends have the same mindset as those who believe that_____________.
A. cheeseburgers and frenchfries are healthy diets
B. Saturday pizzas contain a huge amount of calories
C. celery and kale are healthy if eaten on the weekend
D. junk food can be balanced by occasional healthy diets
【3】What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Weekend recovery sleep absolutely brings benefits to people's health.
B. To some degree, routine sleep deprivation can cause long-term health risks.
C. Valuing sleep, healthy diets and exercise help people keep fit.
D. Sleep will soon be like smoking as an unhealthy lifestyle choice.
【4】The passage is intended to___________
A. call on people to improve their sleep schedules
B. deny the health benefits of weekend recovery sleep
C. reinforce the negative effects of routine sleep deprivation
D. introduce a new study of the correlation between sleep and health
29、How Kids Express Gratitude
Taking time as a family to practice gratitude doesn’t have to be difficult or time-consuming and the benefits your children will get are profound. Today we’ll be discussing ideas to help your children express their gratitude.
Make a gratitude tree. Start with a large piece of craft paper and draw a tree trunk. 【1】Each day ask your kids to think of something they’re thankful for, write it on a leaf and tape it to the tree trunk.
Go grocery shopping for a family in need. Many stores now offer premade bags to donate right at the checkout line. While this is convenient, the larger the role they play in the act of giving, the bigger the effect it will have on your kids. 【2】
Express your thankfulness for the ones you love. 【3】Print the photos in a 5＂× 7＂ size and ask the kids to write a short note on the back explaining why they’re grateful to that person. Family members, especially those who don’t live nearby, will cherish the present.
Volunteer together. Pick a regular time, maybe one Saturday a month, and volunteer together as a family. 【4】One child may want to spend a day helping to clean up their favorite park while another might want to read books to nursing home residents.
