21、A Special Appointment
Years ago I moved to Woodland Hills to take a job in a small hospital’s emergency department. No one wanted to work on Christmas Eve, so the shift (轮班) went to me. I kissed my family goodbye and went off to spend the night in the hospital. It was a thankless job.
At 9 pm, the ambulance brought in a man in his 60s who was having a heart attack. His face was pale, and he was frightened. The whole night I did my best to save his life. Before I left in the morning to spend Christmas with my family, I stopped by to see how he was doing. It was still tough, but he had survived the night and was sleeping.
The following year I got Christmas Eve duty again. At 9 pm sharp, the ward clerk told me there was a couple who wanted to speak with me. When I approached them, the man introduced himself as Mr. Lee and said, “You probably don’t remember me, but last Christmas Eve you saved my life. Thank you for the year you gave me.” He and his wife hugged me, handed me a small gift, and left.
The following year a new doctor had joined the group, but I wanted to see if Mr. and Mrs. Lee would return. This time, I volunteered for the shift. I kept an eye on the door. Once again, at exactly 9 pm, the Lees appeared, carrying a warmly wrapped bundle. It was their new grandchild. Mr. Lee, his family and I spent 13 Christmas Eves together. In the later years the staff all knew about the story and would work to give me time with him in the break room, where we spent a half-hour each Christmas Eve.
The last year I saw him, he brought me a gift. I carefully opened the package and found a crystal (水晶) bell inside. It was engraved (镌刻) with a single word: Friendship. Now, my family, friends and I ring that bell every Christmas Eve at exactly 9 pm and offer our best wishes to the man who we won’t forget.

22、 Last year in a cross-country race in Sanqing Mountain, Gentian left everybody far behind, but unexpectedly he felt a sharp pain and saw that there were teeth marks and blood on his calf (腿肚子).【1】But he didn't know that it was a poisonous snake called 'five-step snake' in Chinese that bit him.
Deep in the mountain, with no phone, Gentian kept running with the injury on his leg for 15 minutes and finally met a local farmer.【2】He happened to know about herbs and medicine. Immediately, he used some herbal medicine to deal with it. Later, the organizing committee's ambulance rushed to take him to the local hospital.
What should you do if you encounter a snake while outside? Remember: first of all, do not excite it. Data show that people who excite snakes are easily bitten.【3】Second, avoid the places where snakes like to stay. Snakes like to bathe in the sun during the day, and usually stay on gravel and cliff edges. Third, if you happen to see a snake crossing through the road, you must stop and wait for it to pass.
【4】First, sit down and try to avoid the acceleration of blood circulation. Then tie the limb 10-30cm above the wound with a strong rope, and curitopenabout1cm above the wound. The cut should be 1-2cm wide, and squeeze blood from top to bottom. Generally, snakebites occur at the ankle. 【5】 Also, make sure to call the ambulance ASAP.

F.In this case bending the knee to reduce blood flow can be helpful.
G.Despite the language barrier, he understood what had happened.
23、 Scientists at MIT have managed to change ordinary spinach plants into natural sensors which can find chemicals used in bombs. The secret to giving spinach these special powers is nanotech, which is scientific area that deals with making or changing things that are extremely tiny.
“Ordinary spinach plants can be found everywhere and easy to store; like other plants, they normally take in carbon dioxide gas,” the scientists say. “But actually they can sense small changes of soil and water potential and respond to them. If we tap into this point, there is a wealth of information to access. That's what the scientists use to power their tiny experiments.”
For this experiment, the scientists placed two different kinds of tiny nano-materials into spinach plants. To get them into the plants, the scientists put a liquid containing them on the bottom of the plant's leaves. As part of its natural process, the spinach plant pulls water through its roots and into its leaves. If the water contains certain chemicals used in bombs, the tiny sensors in the leaves make the nano-tubes, which, along with the sensors, were placed into the spinach plant before by the scientists, produce a slightly special kind of light. By watching the plant constantly using a camera attached to a cheap computer ,the scientists set up a system that can send a warning email if chemicals from explosives are found in the water.
The computer the scientists used is about the size of a playing card. They say that in the future, their system could even use a cell phone with its camera changed slightly. Discovering chemicals used in bombs is just one of the many uses the researchers are exploring. They have used such plants to discover several other dangerous chemicals as well. From their point of view, there's no doubt that in the future, such systems could give farmers specific information about the health of the land and water on their farms.
【1】Why do the scientists use plants to do the experiment?
A．They are common in the daily life.
B．They are environmentally responsive.
C．They absorb much carbondioxide gas.
D．They are small in size and easy to store.
【2】What's the function of the carbon nano-tubes placed into spinach plants?
A．To control the camera.
B．To contain the liquid.
C．To fix the tiny sensors.
D．To give off plant light.
【3】What can we say about the application of the experiment?
A．It's diverse.
B．It's unexpected.
C．It's limited.
D．It's cheap.
【4】What's the suitable title for the text?
A．Spinach Is Sensitive to Chemicals in Bombs
B．Spinach Is taught to Send Warning Emails
C．Nanotech Helps Spinach Grow Healthily
D．Nanotech Protects Spinach from Danger
24、Google announced new features to make devices smarter and more useful to open its yearly developers' conference. The announcements came at Google's I/O 2018 conference in Mountain View, California.
Google Duplex
"So what you're going to hear is the Google Assistant actually calling a real barber’s to schedule the appointment for you.
Hello, how can I help you?
Hi, I'm calling to book a woman's haircut for a client. I'm looking for something on May 3rd.
Sure, give me one second.
Mm-hmmm.
That was a real call you just heard."
Google Chief Pichai said the demonstration was the result of the company's research and development over many years in the areas of natural language, deep learning and text-to-speech. Google calls the technology Duplex. The idea is to create machines that sound and act more human-like in interactions with people.
Continued Conversation
Another new feature related to Assistant is called Continued Conversation. Until now, users have had to say "Hey Google" each time they asked a question or wanted help. But now, a user can issue more than one command – such as a follow-up question – for up to eight seconds, and Assistant will answer.
Gmail Smart Compose
The latest new tool for Gmail is an auto-complete feature called Smart Compose. It uses AI to suggest ways to finish sentences as they are written. For example, "I haven't seen you" might be auto-completed to "I haven't seen you in a while and I hope you're doing well."
Digital Wellbeing
Google says it recognizes many users are trying to find the right balance in life with technology. Sometimes they would like to break away from their devices to be able to spend time "on better things." New features with this in mind can help users prevent overuse of technology.
A Dashboard will provide users detailed information about how much time they are spending on which parts of their device. When the device is placed face down, a new feature will put the device on hold and silence it so the user can center on other things. A Wind Down Mode feature can let users enter the time they want to go to bed. At that time, the device will again go silent and the front of the device will dim to help users disconnect before bed.
【1】What does the small dialogue mean in Google Duplex?
A. Google Chief Pichai calls his assistant to arrange an appointment for him.
B. Google’s digital assistant sets a haircut appointment for someone all by itself.
C. An assistant in Google sets a haircut appointment for a woman.
D. That wasn’t a real call the receiver had heard.
【2】What can we learn about Digital Wellbeing?
A. It can find the right balance in work.
B. It may automatically go silent while the screen is still bright.
C. It can tell how much time is being spent on parts of the device.
D. When one feature is operating long enough, a new one will disappear.
【3】If you are poor in writing compositions, you probably like________.
A. Continued Conversation B. Google Maps - Augmented Reality
C. Google Duplex D. Gmail Smart Compose
