AThe Five Best Countries TO Move To For Retirement Retiring in a different country is gaming popularity. Below are five of the best countries to seek retirement.Costa RicaMild climate, breathtaking landscapes and beaches draw retirees(退休人员)to Costa Rica. The country readily welcomes immigrants and offers a simple residency process. With a monthly income of at least $ 1,000 per month from Social Security or a similar source, people enjoy a high standard of living at a much lower cost than the U. S. MalaysiaRetirees who choose to make Malaysia home will appreciate its rich culture and attractive scenery. Moreover, the country offers modern facilities at modest prices. Immigrants enjoy convenience and comfort in their daily life. You will find low-cost rental units, delicious street food, and various shopping malls.MexicoBecause it’s close to the U.S., Mexico draws more than a million American retirees to its borders. Increasing immigrant communities enjoy seaside living andconversations with friendly. English speaking locals. Plus, legal residents over the age of 60 receive airline, grocery, and restaurant discounts.PanamaGentle ocean wind takes the heat out of hot year-round temperatures, which has been the chief attraction to foreign retirees. Beautiful beaches and a booming economy also attract retirees to Panama. An income of $2,000 per month covers modest living costs. Furthermore, the country offers discounts to retirees with a special visa. EcuadorLazy coastal towns, sun-shining hot spots, and nature-filled views wait for immigrants seeking a carefree lifestyle. Public transportation costs in Ecuador make owning a vehicle unnecessary. A bus ride only costs 25 cents and taxi rides will run about $3.1. What do Costa Rica and Malaysia have in common?A. Convenient shoppingB. Relatively low living costC. Various cultural activitiesD. Simple immigration procedures2. Which country’s location specially attracts retirees from the U. S.?A. Malaysia’s B .Mexico’s c. Panama’s D. Ecuador’s3. What is the main reason for retirees to choose Panama?A. Beautiful beachesB. A booming economyC .A pleasant climate D. Discounts for retireesBSummertime has always been my absolute favorite time of the year. When I was in school, I just lived for the long summer holidays when I could play with my friend and my sister all day at our ease. Everyone has different associations of, summer. For some, they think of the smell of freshly cut grass, for others it's lying on a beach reading a book and for some it might be the taste of lemonade or ice cream.I am so happy to be spending this summer with my family and childhood friends here in the Highlands of Scotland after a year away in France.One of my favorite things to do in summer is go to see the Highland. These events happen all across the Highlands and Islands of Scotland over the summer and are a great chance for friends and family to get together and support the local community.A Highland Games event is a big gathering with food stalls(小摊), fair games for children and sports and athleties competitions. Many of the sports are very specific to Scottish tradition such as “tossing caber". This is a competition in which the competitors attempt to lift a full-length tree log and to toss it up in the air. The oldest Highland Games of Scotland date back, to AD 1344 and they are now an iconic part of the Scottish summer.Summer just would not be complete for me without my favorite fruit-strawberries Here in the Highlands, strawberries are grown as one of our best-sellers over the summer months and one thing I love to do on a warm summer afternoon is to pick some strawberries to eat, with cream at the end of the day. If you come here, I think you will fall in love with them..4. Why did the author treasured summertime as a child?A It was along hot holiday for him. B. He could see his brother every dayC. He was able to feel quite relaxed.D. It was the best time to live a life5. What can we learn according to the first paragraph?A. The author was born and raised in France.B. The author spent one year out of his countryC. The author moved to Scotland with his familyD. The author devoted much time to reading books.6. What will you see at a Highland Games event?A. People giving a hand to those in needB. Kinds of delicious food and happy childrenC. A cultural display of Scottish traditionD. Some extreme sports competitions.7. Why does the author refer to strawberries?A. To show he only takes interest in this fruit.B. To prove Highlands is best for summerC. To attract readers to buy strawberriesD. To suggest strawberries are the best for you. .CStudents should be able to show what they know. Many folks take this as a self-evident truth. But I think it demands closer examination.Possessing a skill or piece of knowledge is not the same thing as being able to show it. This is why many smart young people hate school. Understanding, figuring out, and getting a handle on a piece of knowledge are really exciting, but having to prove to somebody else that you understand is a big fat pain in the neck.Finding proof of student learning is a huge part of the teacher's job, and whether it is done poorly or not makes all the difference in that teacher's effectiveness. There is a huge difference between "How do I figure out if this student understands" and "How do I make this student prove to me he gets it." The first is a valuable approach; the second is the first step on the road toward wasting everybody's time.And the re’s the problem. If we start with the assumption that a student who knows must be able to show his knowledge to our satisfaction, we will be traveling down the wrong road. The more we demand that students prove to us that they know the stuff, the more we will design artificial tasks that demand a set of skills and knowledge entirely different from the skills and knowledge we really want to measure.As a classroom teacher, I have to remember that the burden is on me to find a way to see what my students know; the burden is not on them to put on whatever trained monkey show I design for my own ease and convenience.It may not be the worst thing ever to say "Students should be able to show what they know." But I think it's far more useful to say, "Teachers should be able to discover what students know”.8.What does the underlined phrase in the second paragraph mean?A. Very dangerous.B. Very annoying. C Very difficult. D Vary frequent.9. According to the third paragraph, a teacher should have the ability to_______________A. discover whether his students knowB. avoid wasting the precious time in classC. apply various approaches while teachingD. give students the chance to prove themselves10. What does the author think of the artificial tasks designed to test students' learning?A. They should be limited in number.B. They are a huge burden on teachersC. They should mainly focus on effectiveness.D. They slide away from their original purpose11. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Students should be able to show what they know.B.

The keyboard records information about the typing pattern and sends it to a computer program. The program then checks to see if the pattern matches the night user. If not, an alarm sounds, and the computer locks the typist out. It locks out anyone else, even if the person knows password. Wh at’s more, this device needs no batteries. It harvests all the energy it needs from the action of your typing. Besides, the keyboard is also self-cleaning and the keys are free of damage from water, oil and dirt.The keys of the new keyboard are made of the same inexpensive plastic that might be found on any other standard keyboard. But instead of being smooth, the keys have millions of tiny plastic nanowires(纳米线) on their surface area to every key, increasing the effective contact area between the plastics and fingers. This ensures that there's enough power to run the keyboard as someone types.Liming Dai, a scientist, did not work on the new keyboard, but he thinks the design could be important in getting better performance from a variety of devices. "It couldalso be applied to a touch screen, for instance, "Dai says. "Then smart phones and notepads could harvest energy from the action of someone typing or drawing.”"Future work might make the keyboard even more useful, "Dai adds. "A later design might build tiny capacitors (电容器)onto the nanowires, " he suggests Capacitors are little deices that temporarily store electric charges. Those might then LEDS to light a Keyboard in the dark.Zhonglin Wang is a co-designer of the new keyboard. His team has built a working model of the keyboard. "If a company decides to fund(投资) its production, this keyboard could be in stores in as little as two years, "says Wang.12. How does the new keyboard tell whether you are its owner?A.

Why are there many nanowires on the surface of the keys?A. To increase the effective contact areaB. To improve the speed of typingC.
