Lucy Wade from the shopping website says that their customers are young, professional people.“They buy these small things mostly for fun.”She says.“They are usually looking for a present for a friend’s birthday or a silly gift for someone they work with.”If you have an idea for an amazing invention, send it to Lucy at lucyw@.Fish RadioThis useful radio is completely waterproof, so you can listen to it in the shower.

Fortunately, thanks tomodern technology, the people we miss are often only a phone call or text message away. But if you’re someone who’s more prone(倾向于) to type out messages than speaking ones, you may want to reconsider. According to science, if you want to feel more connected with the people you’re talking to, you should call them instead of texting.A new study found that communication interactions(互动) that included voice like a phone call or video chat created stronger social bonds than communication through typing like text messages or emails.In a study, researchers asked 200 people to make predictions(预测) about what it would be like to reconnect with an old friend by email or by phone. Although people expected that a phone call would be more awkward, hearing someone’s voice actually made the experience better. What’s more, people reported they did form a significantly stronger bond with their old friend on the phone than by email, and they did not feel more awkward.In another experiment, the researchers had strangers connect by texting, talking over video, or talking over audio only. They found that both forms of voice communication—whether video or audio only—made the strangers feel significantly more connected than when they communicated by texting.Sabrina Romanoff, a psychologist(心理学家) in New York City, says people tend to text or email instead of calling because of convenience, as they see it as a controlled form of communication. Romanoff also says that in reality, texting can make it hard to determine the true meaning behind a conversation. “A phone call is actually more convenient when considering the net effects of the message,” she explains.()21.The underlined word “awkward” probably means “” in Chinese.A.高兴的B.令人尴尬的C.令人兴奋的()22.Which of the following ways can make people feel more connected?A.By writing letters.B.By talking over video or audio.C.By sending emails.()23.Why do some people prefer to communicate with others by texting?A.Texting is even easier to know the true meaning behind the words.B.They see texting as a controlled form of communication.C.Texting can make people feel significantly more connected.()24.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A.A phone call or video chat can create stronger social bonds than communication through typing.B.Hearing someone’s voice made people feel more awkward when they call their friends.C.Texting can make it hard to determine the true meaning behind a conversation.()25.Where can we find the passage?A.On a history website.B.In a personal letter.C.In a science report.BIn modern society, people use money every day. 26.That’s because without money you can’t buy any goods(商品) you want. But I think few people know the history of money.27.They lived on wild animals, fruits and other plants. As time passed, people learned to raise animals and crops. Sometimes, families produced more than they needed, so they started to trade with other families. 28.However, it was not the kind of money we usetoday. They used shells, rice, salt, large stones, etc.During the 600s BC, people began using coins as money. ter, countries began to make their own coins.The Chinese were the first to use paper money, probably as early as the 11th century. The Italian traveller Marco Polo saw the Chinese using money when he visited China in the 1200s. However, European countries did not start using paper money until 1600s.30.We do not use coins or paper money. Often, people prefer to pay for things by using Alipay or WeChat Pay. It is easier and safer than carrying around a lot of “real” money.根据短文内容,从下列七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
