27、Can you imagine a cloud floating in the middle of your room? Do you want to know what it feels like to fly like a bird? Find your answers in Time Magazine's 25 "Best Inventions". Here, we have picked out the most interesting 4 to share with you.
Talking Gloves
Ever felt confused by the sign language used by disabled people? Here is the "helping hand" you need. Four Ukrainian students have created a pair of gloves that helps people with hearing and speech problems communicate with others. The gloves are equipped with sensors that recognize sign language and translate it into text on a smartphone. Then the smartphone changes the text to spoken words.
Google Glasses
Google Glasses are like a computer built into the frame of a pair of glasses. With its 1.3-centimeter display, the glasses allow you to surf the Internet and make calls without even lifting a finger. The glasses also have a camera and GPS mapping system. Users can take and share photos, check maps and surf the Internet just by looking up, down, left and right.
Indoor Clouds
It's not virtual.That's a real world. Dutch artist Smilde managed to create a small but perfect white cloud in the middle of a room using a fog machine. But it required careful planning—the temperature, humidity（湿度）and lighting all had to be just right. Once everything was ready, the cloud formed in the air with the machine. But it only lasted for a short while.
Wingsuits
The suit fulfills your dreams of flying like a bird.Well, not exactly flying, but gliding（滑翔）through the air. It increases the surface area of the human body, which makes it easier for people to float in the air. Fliers wearing wingsuits can glide one kilometer in about 30 seconds.

28、Secrets of Top Students
A professor of education who has made some studies of top students said that top grades do not always go to the brightest students. 【1】
Top students master a few basic rules that others can also learn. Top students study anywhere or everywhere. A top student who is also a top athlete recites biology terms as he works out every day. Another student learns a new word every morming while brushing his teeth. Top students are also well organized. Top students immediately put the day’s notes in different folder s(文件夹). 【2】 According to one professor, the student who turns in neat work is already on the way to scoring an A. In the classroom, it is equally important for students to speak up and ask question. 【3】 As a student puts it, “Better grades come from better understanding.” Another technique is to do more than the homework. A student says that if her teacher gives five problems, she will undertake ten. In the student’s words, “Part of learning is practising. The more you practise, the more you learn.”
【4】 It showed that students who discussed homework and problems together, tried different approaches and explained their solutions to one another scored higher than those on their own.
Last but not least, all experts and top students agree that the most important “secret” lies in the contribution by parents. They set high standards for their children and hold them to those standards. 【5】 They impress the lessons of responsibility on their children, and the children deliver.
A. They are taught the importance of learning by their parents.
B. In other words, study time is always placed above fun.
C. The value of studying together was shown in an experiment.
D. In this way, they are available for review when nearing examination time.
E. This is perhaps the best way for a student to clarify any doubts.
F. They encourage their children in their studies but do not do the work for them.
G. According to him, top students know how to make the most of their abilities.
29、Nothing is “new and improved” anymore. It's all about the plus.
“Something exciting is happening in March,” flowed out an email from CBS All Access, alerting subscribers that the streaming service is being renamed Paramount + . The company seeks to keep pace with Apple TV+, ESPN +, Disney +, BET +, AMC + and others.
Video services didn't start this. The Apple II + came out in 1979 and Crest + toothpaste in 2002, But TV streaming companies now apparently must be branded plus, for fear that consumers perceive their offerings as a minus. Much of this has to do with justifying a monthly charge for television-which used to be free. A more complete name would be “Paramount + a Bill.”
Hulu used to have a "plus" service, which was a misnomer since what customers got with it was the absence of ads. "We've had fun with our old friend Plus, the company explained in a 2015 email, “but it's time to move on. We just wanted to let you know that we are retiring the Hulu Plus name. From now on, we will just be known as Hulu. No Plus.
Yet other streaming services have been drawn to the plus, thanks in large part to the success of Disney+, which added 86 million subscribers during its first year. Disney also operates ESPN + and , outside the U. S. ,Star + .
A funny thing about marketing: A plus is always a plus but a minus is never a minus—even though more products are notable for what they cut down. Budweiser wouldn't call its lower- calorie beer Bud-. There are fat-free potato chips and cookies, but Pringles- or Oreos- is abandoned.
Americans have a fondness for plus-size portions, plus-size clothing and media that have plus signs in their names. Mercifully, the plus thing hasn't yet reached more important aspects of our lives.

D．Streaming service.
【2】What can we learn about Hulu?
A．Hulu has no ads put in.
B．Hulu no longer follows suit.
C．Hulu suffered a great loss.
D．Hulu cheated its subscribers.
【3】Why wouldn't Budweiser call its lower-calorie beer Bud- ?
A．To avoid misunderstandings
B．To improve the beer's quality.
C．To keep pace with other companies.
D．To protect the consumers' interests.
【4】What's the author's attitude towards the trend?
A．Objective.
B．Critical.
C．Tolerant.
D．Skeptical.
