1．Are you interested in hi-tech products？Here are some that you might find at the market pretty soon.
CX-1
Tired of dragging your bag through busy airports？Then you might want to consider CX-1.The smart suitcase uses facial recognizing software to follow its owner as he / she is checking in or heading to the gate.Though CX-1 can only move at a speed of up to seven miles per hour，a tiny tool enables owners to keep track of the suitcase's location.It is expected to be sold on the market by late 2018.
Aibo
Sony's latest version of the Aibo robotic dog is almost as fun as the real thing-but much less work.The pet dog can recognize its owner，obey several commands，and even recall the behavior that pleases its master the most.Aibo can also learn new tricks，take photographs，and over time，develop its own unique personality.
Forpheus
Forpheus，an "athletic" robot developed by Japanese technology company Omron.It teaches users how to play ping-pong.The 10-feet-tall machine uses a camera and artificial intelligence to track the ball's speed and can predict the ball's direction correctly.The smart Forpheus can also quickly test its player's abilities and adjust the playing level，making the game fun.

2．Dear Laura，
How are you？It has been several weeks since I heard from you.I have been missing you a lot these days，so I think I should find out how you are doing.Hope this letter finds you in the best of health.Things here are fine，though they seem to be a little boring now without you.
Since school started，I have made some new friends who are great company.But I keep remembering what a great time we had during our summer vacations.Those long rides in the woods，often shopping at the mall and our video game matches were all so much fun.Things here are a little different，and it is going to take me some time to get used to them.
I have some great professors who make classes very interesting.I actually look forward to doing my homework for these classes.However，there are some really boring science classes that I just don't seem to enjoy.They all sound so difficult，but I have to learn them.After a few years，I am going to drop these subjects forever!The good thing is that all the friends I've made feel just the same way about these science classes.
How have things been with you？How about your school and all those great friends you keep talking about？Did you join that guitar class you wanted to so badly？Look forward to hearing from you.
By the way，Dad has bought me the latest video game controller.It is really amazing!Wait for you to come back here so that we can have some more video game matches!

3．Everyone who has eaten instant noodles knows that it's very easy to cook them quickly.However，have you ever heard of the danger of eating them？
When taking out the noodles from the packaging，you will notice that they are joined together nicely as a piece.Do you know that it needs some form of wax coating （蠟涂層）to make them joined together nicely？Many people don't really care much about it because this seems very normal.However，studies have shown that the wax coating is bad for our body.
It is advisable to have a break of 2-3 days before we start to eat another packet of instant noodles because our body needs about 3 days to clear that wax coating away.Do you know the danger of having too much wax coating in our stomach？It will lead to cancer if it is in our body for so long.
Luckily，there is a way of reducing the danger before we eat instant noodles.First，wash the noodles with warm water，stir （攪拌）them and pour away the water containing the wax coating.Then repeat the first step and try to stir them again to wash away the wax coating on the noodles before cooking them.
It is very easy to cook instant noodles but we must pay attention to the wax coating if we eat too much.Imagine having too much of it in your stomach.Oh，my!Hope this article will help more people know about the hidden danger!

4．Although computer technology is often necessary today，using a pen or pencil activates more areas of your brain than a keyboard does.You can potentially remember more by handwriting，according to a new study.
The potential benefits of handwriting for memory have been debated for some time.The new study set out to answer one question：How does handwriting compare to using a keyboard when it comes to remembering new information？
In all.24 participants took part.Researchers asked each of them to write with a pen and then each was also asked to type on a keyboard.While performing these tasks，each volunteer wore a cap that held electrodes（電極）next to their head.It looked somewhat like a hair net fitted with 256 sensors.Those sensors recorded the participants' brainwaves.The electrodes noted which parts of the brain turned on during each task.And they showed that writing turned on memory areas in the brain while typing didn't.
Audrey van der Meer，the new study's leader，says this suggests that when we write by hand，we remember better. "This is because writing involves complex movements that activate more areas of the brain.The increased brain activity gives the brain more 'hooks' to hang your memories on，" she explains.Van der Meer also points out that writing by hand is related to visual notetaking. "Rather than typing blindly，the visual notetaker has to think about what is important to write down.Then，key words can be interlinked by boxes，arrows and small drawings，" she adds.
This study does not recommend banning digital devices（設(shè)備）.In fact，its authors point out，computers and other devices with keyboards have become necessary in modern society.Keyboarding can especially benefit those with certain special needs（such as if they have trouble using their hands） and typing beats writing when it comes to speed，they add.
（1）Why were participants asked to wear caps in the study？
A．To record their brainwaves.
B．To inform them of their tasks.
C．To allow them to focus on writing.
D．To protect their heads like hair nets.
（2）What does Audrey van der Meer try to explain？
A．Why handwriting is more complex than typing.
B．Why the brain works when it comes to learning.
C．Why handwriting helps remember information.
D．Why key words are helpful to visual notetaking.
（3）What is the study's authors' view on typing？
A．It relieves people's hands.
B．It remains vital and helpful.
C．It is not worth recommending.
D．It is more challenging than writing.
（4）Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text？
A．How Can You Remember New Information？
B．Handwriting Benefits Health in the Long Run
C．Should Typing Take the Place of Handwriting？
D．Handwriting Is Better for Memory Than Typing組卷：7引用：5難度：0.5
