Ecobee3 Smarter WiFi Thermostat
Smart thermostats have become the face of smart home technology for most,
but depending on what your home is like, it’s possible to say the ecobee3 is
superior.
Most of the smart thermostats carry the same benefits, including the ecobee3.
They can learn your preferences and schedules, and then adjust the temperature
accordingly. They’re better-looking and more enjoyable to use than the basic pieces
of plastic that occupy most households. Their very presence will probably make you
more conscious about saving energy. And once you’re able to heat up or cool down
your house from your phone, without having to get out of bed, you won’t want to go
back.
If you live in a larger household, the ecobee3 can be much more
convenient—provided you pick up a couple more remote sensors. Yes, it gets pretty expensive at that
point, but having those gives you effective control over the temperature in different rooms around your
house. In comparison, other thermostats’ measurements are largely limited to the area in which they’ re
installed (安装 ).
If you live in a smaller place, that’s no big deal; the ecobee3 still has distinct advantages. It is
touch-enabled and more spacious, making it less annoying when you want to enter a WiFi password, see
weather information, and so on.
Still, all the smart thermostats are pretty great. Which one is best just depends on whether you need a
whole-home solution or a more straightforward one. For now, if it’s the former, go with the ecobee3.
Ecobee3 Smarter WiFi Thermostat with Remote Sensor, available at all shopping websites.
21. What is the function of the ecobee3?
A. Planning schedules. B. Making decoration.
C. Adjusting temperatures. D. Storing information.
22. According to the passage, one of the advantages of the ecobee3 is that ______.
A. it can be operated easily by phone B. it has different sizes
C. it is a product without using energy D. it follows the same pattern
23. What makes the ecobee3 superior?
A. It costs less than those similar products.
B. It may work without access to WiFi networks.
C. It is more effective with fewer remote sensors.
D. It can control the temperature in a larger area.

Bertie knew there was something in the wind. His mother had been sad in recent days, not sick, just
strangely sad. The lion had just lain down beside him, his head warm on Bertie''s feet, when Father

cleared his throat and began, "You''ll soon be eight, Bertie. A boy needs a proper education. We''ve found
the right place for you, a school near Salisbury in England."
His heart filled with a terrible fear, all Bertie could think of was his white lion. "But the lion," he
cried, "What about the lion?"
"I''m afraid there''s something else I have to tell you," his father said. Looking across at Bertie''s
mother, he took a deep breath. Then he told Bertie he had met a circus owner from France, who was over
in Africa looking for lions to buy. He would come to their farm in a few days.
"No! You can''t send him to a circus!" said Bertie. "People will come to see him. He''ll be shut up
behind bars. I promised him he never would be. And they will laugh at him. He''d rather die. Any animal
would!" But as he looked across the table at them, he knew their minds were quite made up.
Bertie felt completely betrayed. He waited until he heard his father''s deep breathing next door. With
his white lion at his heels, he crept downstairs in his pyjamas, took down his father''s rifle from the rack
and stepped out into the night. He ran and ran till his legs could run no more. As the sun came up over the
grassland, he climbed to the top of a hill and sat down, his arms round the lion''s neck. The time had come.
"Be wild now," he whispered. "You''ve got to be wild. Don''t ever come home. All my life I''ll think of
you, I promise I will." He buried his head in the lion''s neck. Then, Bertie clambered down off the hill and
walked away.
When he looked back, the lion was still sitting there watching him; but then he stood up, yawned,
stretched, and sprang down after him. Bertie shouted at him, but he kept coming. He threw sticks. He
threw stones. Nothing worked.
There was only one thing left to do. With tears filling his eyes and his mouth, he lifted the rifle to his
shoulder and fired over the lion''s head.
24. Bertie''s mother was sad probably because she _______.
A. had been seriously ill recently B. had decided to send Bertie to school
C. knew selling the lion would upset Bertie D. knew Bertie would hate to go to England
25. The underlined word "they" in Para. 4 probably refers to _______.
A. some audience B. other animals C. Bertie''s parents D. circus''s owners
26. In the last paragraph, the boy lifted the rifle at the lion to _______.
A. kill the lion out of fear B. threaten the lion back to the wild
C. protect himself from the lion D. show his anger towards his father
27. The passage intends to show that _______.
A. animal-hunting is popular in Africa
B. parents are sometimes cruel to their children
C. animals usually lead a miserable life in circuses
D. people and animals can be faithful to each othe
C
Many of us have reached in our pockets, feeling a vibration （振动） , wrongly believing our mobile
phones have just rung. The phenomenon even has a name: ''phantom vibration syndrome'' -and found it is
surprisingly common.
Now scientists believe that we are so alert（警觉） for phone calls and messages we are
misinterpreting slight muscle spasms （痉挛） as proof of a call. Robert Rosenberger, an assistant
professor at the Georgia Tech Institute of Technology has studied the delusional calls. He said sufferers
describe a vague tingling feeling which they think is their mobile phone indicating it has received a text
message or call while on ‘silent’. But when the device is retrieved, there was no one on the other end.
Dr. Rosenberger said "I find so many people say, ‘This happens to me, but I thought I was the only
one. I thought I was odd. "It seems that the syndrome particularly affects people at the beck and call of
mobile phones or pagers. A 2010 study by Michael Rothberg and colleagues found that nearly 70 per cent
of doctors at a hospital in Massachusetts suffered phantom vibrations. A more recent study of US college
students found the figure was as high as 90 per cent.
While the odd feeling is widespread, it does not seem to be considered a grave problem. Dr.
Rosenberger said: "it''s not actually a syndrome in a technical sense. That''s just the name that''s got stuck to
it." He added: " Only 2 per cent of people consider it a problem.”
While widespread, the scientific community has not yet invested much effort in getting to the bottom
of why we suffer phantom calls.
Dr. Rosenberger said: "People are guessing it has something to do with nervous energy. The
cognitive （认知的） scientists are talking about brain chemistry, cognitive pathways changing. But it''s
not like they have brain scans to go on." He said: "We have a phone call in our pocket all the time and it
becomes sort of an extension of ourselves. We have this sort of readiness to experience a call. We feel
something and we think, OK, that could be a call.”
28. Why do some people mistake slight muscle spasms for a call?
A. They all have a vivid imagination. B. They are sensitive to calls and messages.
C. There are few calls and messages in their life.
D. Slight muscle spasms affect them more than other people
29. Which of the following are more likely to have phantom vibration syndrome than others?
A. Doctors. B. University professors. C. College students. D. The cognitive scientists.
30. In Dr. Rosenberger''s opinion, phantom vibration syndrome ___.
A. isn''t a kind of disease actually
B. is considered a problem by most people
C. is a serious problem ignored by people
D. has something to do with brain chemistry
31. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. Most people have phantom vibration syndrome.
B. How to keep away from phantom vibration syndrome.
C. How to reduce phantom phone vibrations.
D. People care too much about phantom phone vibrations
D
Some of the best research on daily experience is rooted in rates of positive and negativeinteractions,
which has proved that being blindly positive or negative can cause others to be frustrated or annoyed or to
simply tune out.
Over the last two decades, scientists have made remarkable predictions simply by watching people
interact with one another and then scoring the conversations based on the rate of positive and negative
interactions. Researchers have used the findings to predict everything from the likelihood that a couple
will divorce to the chances of a work team with high customer
satisfaction and productivity levels.
More recent research helps explain why these brief exchanges matter so much. When you experience
negative emotions as a result of criticism or rejection, for example, your body
produces higher levels of the stress hormone, which shuts down much of your thinking and
activates (激活） conflict and defense mechanisms (机制） . You assume that situations are worse
than they actually are.
When you experience a positive interaction， it activates a very different response. Positive
exchanges increase your body’s production of oxytocin, a feel-good that increases your ability
to communicate with， cooperate with and trust others. But the effects of a positive occurrence
are less dramatic and lasting than they are for a negative one.
We need at least three to five positive interactions to outweigh every one negative
exchange. Bad moments simply outweigh good ones. Whether you’re having a conversation,
keep this simple short cut in mind: At least 80 percent of your conversations should be focused
on what’s going right.
Workplaces, for example, often see this. During performance reviews, managers routinely spend 80
percent of their time on weaknesses and “areas for improvement”. They spend roughly 20 percent of the
time on strengths and positive aspects. Any time you have discussions with a person or group, spend the
vast majority of the time talking about what is working, and use the remaining time to address
weaknesses.
32. The underlined phrase “tune out" in Paragraph 1 probably means .
A. stop listening B. change one’s mind
C. sing aloud D. be crazy
33. What will happen if you experience negative emotions?
A. The situations are sure to become worse.

B. Much of your thinking will be prevented.
C. You will feel an urge to improve and become better.
D. You’ll be motivated to resolve conflicts with people.
34. From Paragraph 4, we can learn that
A. we need a positive feeling to beat one negative feeling
B. positive interactions have greater effects than negative ones
C. our conversation should center on what needs improvement
D. the effect of negative feelings lasts longer than that of positive ones
35.What is the best title for the passage?
A. Harmful Negatives B. More Positive Interactions
C. How to Be a Productive Manager
D. Less Time on Strengths and Positive Aspects

Should schoolchildren have jobs?
Now at school, the last thing you probably want to do is spend your weekends going to work. There
is homework to do and sport to play. 36 When I was a teenager I had a Saturday job in a supermarket:
stacking(摆放 ) shelves and working at the checkout.
Today in the UK you are allowed to work from the age of 13, and many children do take up
part-time jobs. 37 Teenagers agree that it teaches valuable lessons about working with adults and also
about managing your money. So, that’s no bad thing!
Some research has shown that not taking on a Saturday or holiday job could be harmful to a person
later on. But despite this, recent statistics have shown that the number of schoolchildren in the UK with a
part-time job has fallen by a fifth in the past five years.
38 Probably not. Some experts feel that young people feel going out to work will affect their
performance at school, and they are under more pressure now to study hard and get good exam results.
However, Geoff Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, told BBC
News “Properly regulated part-time work is a good way of helping young people learn skills that they
will need in their working lives.” In reality’ it’s all about getting the right balance between doing
part-time work and having enough time to study and rest.
39 One 13 year-old girl called Rachel, who has a Saturday job in a shop, told the BBC that “l
enjoy my job because I’m earning money and it helps increase my confidence in speaking to people and
socializing with people I work with.” That seems like something worth getting up on a Saturday morning.
40
A. Do you do a Part-time job when you are at school?
B. So you are not free to do what you are feeling like doing.
C. It is a waste of time and does no good to your career prospect.
D. It’s a taste of independence and a useful thing to put on your CV (简历 ).
E. Does this mean that British teenagers are now more afraid of hard work?
F. But your Parents probably persuade you to find a job and get some life experience.
G. Many young people actually want to work because it gives them a sense of freedom.

young age. Sometime in the middle of fourth grade, I 62 trying. By the time I was in seventh grade,
I was lazy, rebellious, 63 .
It wasn’t long after that I dropped out of school. Hard physical labor was the 64 for the
choices I made as an adolescent. At the age of 21, I was 65 lost, and using drugs as a way to 66
the fact that I had no education and was 67 in a dead-end job carrying heavy construction materials
up a ladder all day.

be made at any 69 in your life, if you have the right 70 . Mine came from a surprising source.
It was September 21, 2012, when my son Blake was born. It’s funny that after a life of 71
responsibility, now I was in charge of something so 72 . Over the years, as I grew into the 73
of Dad, I began to learn something about myself. In a way, Blake and I were both learning to walk, talk,

It took me almost three years to learn how to read. I started with my son’s books. 74 , I practiced

Thanks to technology you''re already aware that you record 10,000 steps a day and get about three
hours of REM sleep a night. 1 how much data are you collecting about your 2 (tooth)?
Probably not enough.
A 2014 study 3 (find) that 30 percent of people are not brushing twice a day. When they do
brush, people often do it wrong. Even people who have the right 4 (intend) may not be cleaning as
well as they think. What they found was that there was a big gap between consumers'' perception of their
brushing and reality. Now, here is the new innovation in toothbrush technology — Bluetooth connectivity.
A Bluetooth signal on the brush transmits data via three sensors 5 a smartphone app. As you
brush, the app directs you to six regions of your mouth, all of 6 get 20 seconds of brushing over a
2-minute period. The sensors tell the app if you''re pushing too hard or too 7 (violent). The location
sensor also tells you if you reached every spot and brushed it well enough. There''s even a children''s version
of the software __8 (call) Playbrush.
It doesn''t end there. After your 2-minute session, the app signals you 9 (brush) again, if
necessary. Then it asks if you''ve flossed, rinsed with a mouthwash and cleaned your tongue. Previously, the
only way you''d get such feedback is by 10 (visit) the dentist every six months or so, and nobody
enjoys that particular trip.

Nowadays there is an increasingly number of people who love mountain climbing. Indeed, it is an
awesome outdoor sport, which can offer us a chance to get close to the nature. While climbing a mountain,
we can enjoy beautiful views along the way and totally relax us after tiring work or study. Besides, it can
not only benefit our health but also shapes our character. Moreover, mountain climbing is also likely to
cause some negative effects. Some people always threw away empty bottles or garbage bags along the
path, which have become a real headache for the cleaners. What’s worse, many forest fires are caused by
cigarette end left behind carelessly by some smokers.
To sum up, mountain climbing is a sport worth joining. But we must pay attention to the two
problems mention above.
