On seeing those in rags on the corner, I only wanted the light to turn green fast enough so that I wouldn't have to keep pretending not to see them.‎ ‎ Then ,one day, as I was holding the hand of my best friend Jane who was young but dying of breast cancer ,she told me that she made every moment count by slowing down and by seeing everything .I held her hand for five years and then she passed away. She did teach me something. It took a while for her words to really sink in. I can be a slow learner.‎ ‎ I started by seeing everything, and focused on their presence. One day I saw a Vietnam veteran(老兵). I asked him what would make his day.‎ ‎ "A hot cup of coffee," he told me.‎ ‎ I bought him a cup of coffee a stack of pancakes, some eggs, and so on. After our meal Together ,I asked him if there was anything else that would make his life a bit easier.‎ ‎ "A new pair of socks, "he said.‎ ‎ Socks ,really? I actually happened to be wearing a nice pair of wool hiking socks at that ‎ very moment. I told him that I wanted to give him the pair I was wearing ,if he would accept t. Finally, he agreed. We sat down on a bench, and he started to first take off his boots, then remove the black socks that had once been white off his feet. I think a layer or two of skin might have come off with them. Taking his new pair of socks, he held the socks up to his cheeks and said they were warm and smelled as good as me, pools of tears in his eyes.‎ ‎ Such a simple luxury (奢侈品) I used to take for granted.

Or, more accurately, robot-readers-computers programmed to scan student essays and spit out a grade.‎ ‎ Mark Shermis ,professor of the College of Education at the University of Akron ,is helping to hold a contest, set up by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation ( WFHF) ,that promises $ IOO,OOO in prize money to programmers who write the best automated grading software. "If you're a high school teacher and you give a writing task , you're walking home with 150 essays, " Shermis said. "You're going to need some help. "‎ ‎ Automated essay grading was first proposed in the 1960s,but computers back then were not up to the task. In the late 1990s, as technology improved, several textbook and testing companies jumped into the field. Today ,computers are used to grade essays on South Dakota's student writing assessments and a handful of other exams ,including the TOEFL test of English fluency, taken by foreign students.‎ ‎ The Hewlett contest aims to show that computers can grade as well as English teachers- only much more quickly and without all that depressing red ink. Automated essay scoring is "objective, " Shermis said. " And it can be done immediately. If students finish an essay at l0 pm , they get a result at 10 :‎0l pm . "‎ ‎ Take , for instance, the Intelligent Essay Assessor, a web-based tool marketed by Pearson Education ,Inc. Within seconds it can analyze an essay for spelling, grammar, organization, and help students to make revisions. The program scans for key words and analyzes semantic (语义 的) patterns , and Pearson claims that it can understand the meaning of text much the same as a human reader.‎ ‎46.

The latest trend in plastic surgery promises to create a nose that is classic, slim and sloping, similar to the sweeping curve of the Eiffel‎ ‎Tower.‎ ‎ Surgeon Wang Xuming said: " We are influenced by the beauty of the Eiffel‎ ‎Tower, we are not content to just add something to the nose ,we reconstruct it. " The surgery costs about US $ 10,000 and involves the enlarging of the nose using tissue from the forehead.‎ ‎ Hundreds of posters advertising the procedure are put up all over Chongqing city ,where surgeon Xuming runs his practice. They show a Westem-Iooking woman with an almost-too- perfect nose ,against an outline of the Eiffel‎ ‎Tower.‎ ‎ Interestingly ,many young women in China are eager to achieve a western appearance, as they believe it will give them an advantage in the highly competitive job market. " Some students face a lot of employment pressure after graduation. If their facial features are good, they'II have more chances of finding a job, " said surgeon Xuming. " We've had students getting the Eiffel‎ ‎Tower nose; it's helped them a lot. "‎ ‎ Apparently, Chinese employers are quite particular about appearances and prefer attractive candidates. Some of them even go as far as putting height and weight requirements in their employment ads. Plastic surgeons across the country are reporting an increase in the number of students choosing beauty" improvement ".‎ ‎ According to a Mr. Li , hospital manager at surgeon Xuming's clinic , most of their customers are female and the bill is taken care of by the family.

The idea is to build a computerized collection of information detailing the daily travel of millions of Americans.‎ ‎ Detective Mohammed Tabibi uses a license plate reader, also known as a LPR to look for stolen vehicles .“It has somewhat paid. We have caught some people involved in some serious crimes because of the LPR, " said Tabibi.‎ ‎ The use of LPRs is growing across the United States. Some are fixed to poles along Roadsides ,others are placed in law-enforcement vehicles. Privacy groups are concerned about the growing use of these devices. Jay Stanley is with the American Civil Liberties Union ( ACLU) . " What they are also doing is storing everybody's time , place, and location. And many police departments are holding that information indefinitely. You know in our society, the government doesn't follow you and invade your privacy and track you unless it has a specific reason that you are involved in wrongdoing, " said Stanley.‎ ‎ Kevin Rearden served as Captain of the Arlington county Police, who also headed the county's Homeland Security Department before he retired. He said county policy called for the LPR information to be kept for six months. "We originally had a two-month period, and the detectives requested the chief extend it to six months because they found in so many investigations, keeping it for two months wasn't long enough," said Rearden, " but other law enforcement agencies that use the information may store it for unlimited periods of time. "‎ ‎ Supporters of privacy rights say they have no problem with police departments taking pictures of license plates to investigate crimes. But Jay Stanley says they're against storing the information for long periods of time.‎ ‎ However, Captain Rearden disagrees, " They keep saying the word ' tracking'. I would be lucky if I could find you in a few places in Arlington at a particular time. By no stretch of the ‎ ‎ imagination would I be able to track you. "‎ ‎ 56. What does the text mainly tell us?‎ ‎ A. The use of LPRs is controversial.‎ ‎ B. Privacy protection is important.‎ ‎ C. LPRs help investigate crimes.‎ ‎ D. ACLU is involved in wrongdoing.‎ ‎57.

Contigiani,62, a one-time high-powered manager, is now an ambassador for the slow life movement around the world. He started the first World Slow Day in 2007 to encourage the values of living and working at a more natural pace, and to make people rethink their daily lifestyle.‎ ‎ Contigiani's association suggests "14 commandments (诫条) " for living better, such as waking up five minutes earlier to enjoy breakfast without rushing. Others include walking whenever possible, and reading in the evenings instead of watching television.‎ ‎ This year, Contigiani left Italy where the event has spread around the country for Shanghai, one of the fastest moving cities in the world. The slow-living supporter said he wandered around the busiest streets of the commercial center for an entire aftemoon ,inviting people to " slow down". " Among the " 14 commandments' , the one about waking up five minutes earlier was the most popular by far, " Contigiani said.‎ ‎ Back in Italy ,the now well-known event hosts a lot of activities, such as reminding people to stop and smell the roses. In central Milan :you would probably be fined if you walk too fast. In parks and public spaces ,free yoga and Tai Chi (太极拳) lessons are important parts of the events.‎ ‎ Italian farmers' union noted that Italians spent less and less time preparing meals, a habit ‎ connected to rising levels of obesity. Therefore, the group said World Slow Day was a good opportunity to remind Italians to take extra time at meals in particular.‎ ‎ World Slow Day is by now an intemational event. A total of 90“ Slow Cities" in 11 countries inspired by the “live well" philosophy are supporting the day.‎ ‎61. What's the best title of the text?‎ ‎ A. Slow Life Supporters B.

But have you tried to call a taxi using a mobile application (软件)? It's not hard-you download a taxi- calling application ,input your location and destination, click " calling" and wait for a taxi to pick you up. Didi taxi and Kuaidi Taxi are two of the most popular taxi apps.‎ ‎ [2] However, what appeals to people about the apps is not only convenience but also potential prizes. In early January , Didi announced that for each successful ride arranged over the app, both passengers and drivers get 10 yuan subsidies (补贴). A few days later, Kuaidi decided to offer 10 yuan for passengers and 15 yuan for drivers per ride.‎ ‎ [3 ] However popular the taxi-calling apps may be , questions have arisen. One ‎ ‎ big concern is safety. In order to claim as many subsidies as possible , some drivers constantly check the apps to grab more taxi calls, even while they're driving. "It greatly distracts drivers' attention, thus causing a threat to road safety, " Beijing Review commented. Meanwhile ,like many other digital devices, apps may be quite handy for tech-savvy young people , but it could bring a challenge for senior citizens who don't know how to use them, commented China Daily. "As drivers prefer taking taxi orders from apps, they will overlook those people standing on the street," Beijing Review continued.‎ ‎ [4] "Taxi-calling apps are a new thing and we should observe them carefully, " said Liu Xiaohua , deputy director of Guangdong Transport Department.
