（现代科技）李仕才【话题导读】灯柱伞是一种有雨水感应伞的灯柱，这样人们在忘记带雨伞时就不会挨淋了。

LampbrellaYou can’t always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. ①But designer Mikhail Belvacv doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. That’s why he created lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain sensing umbrella.The designer says he ②come up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “Once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street ad saw the street lamps ③lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy built into a street lamp.”he said.The lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella ④on demand. Sensors then ensure that the umbrella offers p edestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.⑤In addition to the rain sensor, there’s also a 360°motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone’s using the lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.According to the designer, the lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lighting strike. Each lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.While there are no plans to take lampbrella into production, Belyacv says he recently introduced his creation one Moscow Department, and insists this creation could be installed on my street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies toprovide shelter.灯柱伞你不会每次都预测到大雨到来或者记得带上雨伞。

They want to get a broader perspective about you. Your life outside work may tell a lot about you.while describing your hobbies and interests.Ideally, you should describe a hobby or interests that add value to the job in consideration.* Select those activities that can give you an edge over others as a candidate.

It may be an acute, desperate sense of wanting something, anything to think about, or it may be a continuing feeling of ennui((法)厌倦) that goes throughout your day-to-day, forcing you to subconsciously(潜意识地) fill up the empty spaces in your time with unfulfilled donkeywork. If either situation rings true, you need a hobby.Most people don't even realize that they don't have a hobby—they know they have interests, but because those interests don't necessarily contribute to income or security, they get mentally pushed to the back burner as a "someday" self-promise. Interests may fascinate you, but a hobby means you're doing something about it—it gives you something to think about, something to talk about, and something to look forward to. Some hobbies may even generate some income.Choosing a hobby is simple—just think of something you love or have always wanted to know more about, and go from there. Of course, you may have too many potential interests allbottled up waiting for the "some day", so how do you decide? There's a Jewish proverb that says "When a habit begins to cost money, it's called a hobby." If that doesn't narrow it down enough, consider how the different types of hobbies fit into your lifestyle and interest.Take "making" as an example. The "making" hobbies are the opposite of "collecting" hobbies. Sure, you'll need to accumulate a certain amount of tools and materials, but the main focus on the hobby is the output instead of the input. Crafters have these hobbies in the bag—scrapbooking, knitting, painting and needlepoint are all very typical and easy to learn, but "making" hobbies also include things like baking, poetry, photography and blogging. The common thread being that when you have finished practicing your hobby for the day, you are left with something that wasn't there before—it came to life right in your hands. Your friends would prefer if you chose baking instead of poetry.11. When all the following situations appear EXCEPT , you need a hobby.A. that you have a strong desire of wanting somethingB. that you are feeling very tired all day long with meaningless workC. that you think you have too much work to deal withD. that you have a wish to kill your spare time12. What is the difference between hobbies and interests?A. Hobbies may sometimes bring in income while interests may not.B. Interests may get in secure income while hobbies may not.C. Most people have hobbies or interests that can benefit themselves.D. Interests may attract your attention while hobbies may not.13. What can you do to choose your hobby?A. Change your habit into your hobby earlier.B. Keep your potential interests for the "some day".C. Decide what you have always wished most.D. Consider the different types of hobbies first.14. What do you need to develop your "making" hobbies?A. Practice skills and abilities for your hobby.B. Enough tools and materials to make an input.C. Things like baking, poetry, photography and blogging.D. A certain number of tools and materials to make an output.DWhy do people buy art? To answer this question, ask yourself what your reasons are for thinking of getting a piece of art. An artwork can cost a large amount of money, but if it meets your needs, it's worth every penny.People buy art for many reasons. Many people buy an artwork simply because they like it, even if it is by an unknown artist. Art, as long as you enjoy it, is never a waste of money.Art is for enjoyment. Art is meant to be shown. Don't ever feel pressured into buying something you won't enjoy looking at day after day, no matter what other people may say. Don't buy something that doesn't attract you just because it is trendy, or because the artist is famous, or because you have been advised that the artwork will make a good investment. If you don't like the artwork at all, don't buy it!Art improves your environment. Have you ever noticed that all beautiful homes have art as an integral(必需的) part of the decoration? Art lends life and color to otherwise plain and ordinary walls. A well thought-out art collection will help create a unique atmosphere in your home and make it more attractive.Art makes a statement. The kind of art you surround yourself with says much about your personality, tastes and values. Art truly is a mirror of the soul.Art enriches your life.

They are randomly distributed from stand-alone booths. But what else?To revive (复兴)literature in the era of fast news and smartphone addiction, Short Edition, a French publisher of short-form literature, has set up more than 30 story dispensers (分发机)in the USA in the past years to deliver fiction at the push of a button at restaurants, universities and government offices.Francis Ford Coppola, the film director and winemaker, liked the idea so much that he invested in the company and placed a dispenser at his Cafe Zoetrope in San Francisco. Last month public libraries in some other cities announced they would be setting them up, too. There is one on the campus at Penn State. A few can be found in downtown West Palm Beach, Fla.

"We want people to be easily exposed to literature. We want to advance literacy among children and inspire their creativity.Here's how a dispenser works: It has three buttons on top indicating choices for stories that can be read in one minute, three minutes or five minutes. When a button is pushed, a short story is printed. The stories are free. They are chosen from a computer category of more than 100,000 original submissions by writers whose works have been evaluated by Short Edition's judges, and transmitted over a mobile network. Offerings can be tailored to specific interests, like children's fiction or romance. Short Edition gets stories for its category by holding writing contests.Short Edition set up its first booth in 2016 and has 150 machines worldwide.

Every day she goes to class at Dundee Elementary School dressed as someone, usually a woman, of historical significance(意义)."On the second day of the second grade, she decided that the next day she was going to dress as someone different. It's been so much fun to see where she's going with it. She isn't doing it to take the focus away from anyone. She is just doing it to be creative." Kevin Ehrhart, her father, told ."I'm just so proud of how creative she is. I work at the Children's Theater here in Omaha, so out of necessity I've taken her into my acting classes. She's been in acting classes with me since a young age," Kevin Ehrhart said. "It's just fun to see her develop creativity.

If it comes from their own initiative(主动性), they're going to put a lot more energy into it," Kevin Ehrhart said. "Just listen and pay respect to those ideas the children have.

高一英语试卷分类汇编英语阅读理解(人生百味)(及答案)含解析一、高中英语阅读理解人生百味类1．阅读理解In 2015, a man named Nigel Richards memorized 386, 000 words in the entire French Scrabble Dictionary in just nine weeks. However, he does not speak French. Richards' impressive feat is a useful example to show how artificial intelligence works—real AI. Both of Richard and AI take in massive amounts of data to achieve goals with unlimited memory and superman accuracy in a certain field.The potential applications for AI are extremely exciting. Because AI can outperform humans at routine tasks—provided the task is in one field with a lot of data—it is technically capable of replacing hundreds of millions of white and blue collar jobs in the next 15 years or so.But not every job will be replaced by AI. In fact four types of jobs are not at risk at all. First, there are creative jobs. AI needs to be given a goal to optimize. It cannot invent, like scientists, novelists and artists can. Second, the complex, strategic jobs—executives, diplomats, economists —go well beyond the AI limitation of single-field and Big Data. Then there are the as-yet-unknown jobs that will be created by AI.Are you worried that these three types of jobs won't employ as many people as AI will replace? Not to worry, as the fourth type is much larger: jobs where emotions are needed, such as teachers, nannies and doctors. These jobs require compassion, trust and sympathy—which AI does not have. And even if AI tried to fake it, nobody would want a robot telling them they have cancer, or a robot to babysit their children.So there will still be jobs in the age of AI. The key then must be retraining the workforce so people can do them. This must be the responsibility not just of the government, which can provide funds, but also of corporations and those who benefit most.（1）What is the main purpose of paragraph 1?A. To introduce the topic.B. To mention Nigel's feat.C. To stress the importance of good memory.D. To suggest humans go beyond AI in memory.（2）Which of the following best explains "outperform" underlined in paragraph 2?A. Be superior toB. Be inferior toC. Be similar toD. Be related to （3）Which of the following jobs is the most likely to be replaced?A. The writer.B. The shop assistant.C. The babysitter.D. The psychologist.（4）Which of the following suggestions can the author give about job replacement of AI?A. Limit the application of AI to a certain degree.B. Get more support from the government.C. Apply for the donation from companies.D. Upgrade people's professional skills all the time.【答案】（1）A（2）A（3）B（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，人工智能有取代人类工作的潜力,但是,并非所有工作都会被人工智能取代,有四种类型的工作完全没有风险。
