The other day, my parents stopped by and dropped off a birthday gift to me. After the visit I
watched my parents walking down my front steps toward their car. My father took my mother by the
arm and slowly and carefully helped her step down the small steps, which hit me really hard. It has
been happening slowly over the years. Because my own life has been going through so much change
(my kids have grown up and moved out over these years), I had somehow simply failed to notice just
how much my own parents were aging.
As a child we see our dads as these big strong men who work hard,protect us, and just take care
of things. We see our moms as our caretakers who are always there to make sure our needs are
attended to so we always know we are loved. All through my growing up they looked the same to me. That is how they have always seemed to me. Now I see a little gray haired mom who is fragile
and breakable, and I see a gray haired father who walks a little slower than he once did.
The thought made me break into tears. And I realize I need to spend more time with my parents.
I need to make sure I get their advice now on the things I should know for the future so I don't waste
my chance to get it while they are still both here with me. I need to ask them to tell me more stories
about their own life and all the lessons they have learned. Let's all make an effort to make more time
for them and make sure they feel appreciated while we still have them with us.

China is developing a system that recognizes individuals by their body shape and walking
movements. Systems that recognize human faces are already being used to identify people in crowds
or as a secure way to unlock personal devices.
The new system, known as "gait recognition", is already on trial by police on the streets of
Beijing and Shanghai. The Chinese technology company Watrix developed the system. The
company announced last month that it had raised$14. 5 million to speed up the development and sale of the technology.
The system works in a similar way to face recognition. Cameras capture video of people in
public places. Then, machines powered by artificial intelligence (AI) examine and study the video.
Facial recognition systems identify the shapes and expressions on a person's face to identify
them. Gait recognition uses a person's body shape and their way of walking to identify them. The
system records a person's shape and movements and then creates a model of the way they walk.
Huang Yongzhen is a former researcher who co-founded Watrix in 2016. He told the
Associated Press his system can identify people from up to 50 meters away. It is designed to work
even when a person's face is covered or hidden. Huang says his gait recognition system is correct 94
percent of the time. This is below the success rate of many face recognition systems. But he says the
system can still be helpful to police and for other commercial purposes. He also believes the system
can be effective when used together with face recognition.
Gait recognition is not new. The technology has been researched by scientists in Japan and
Britain and by U. S. defense officials for about 10 years. But attempts to sell the technology have
been slow. One of the reasons the technology has not developed' further is that the systems are more
complex than facial recognition.
28. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. A system that can recognize human faces is around the corner.
B. It is tough to accurately follow a person in crowds.
C. A system that can identify a person by walking is being developed.
D. A new system that can check a body shape is under way.
29. What do you know about Watrix mentioned in the passage?
A. It has invented a lot of systems adopted by the police.
B. It has earned $ 14.5 million by inventing the system.
C. It has become famous for the face recognition system.
D. It has got well prepared for the new system.
30. Facial recognition is similar to gait recognition because .
A. cameras catch video of people's expressions
B. a person's body shape can be recognized very easily
C. cameras record video of a person in public placesD. a person's action will be sent to the police
31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Japan and Britain kept a secret about the system.
B. The systems of gait recognition are hard to develop.
C. Gait recognition will suffer a poor market very soon.
D. Almost no one understands how gait recognition runs.
D
On Wednesday Volvo said it will use cameras fixed inside its vehicles to monitor drivers'
behavior. Volvo's in-car cameras will monitor eye movements to gauge drivers' distraction. If a
driver looks away for a period of time, such as at a smartphone, a representative from Volvo's
on-call assistance centers will call them to check in. Drivers who aren't watching the road, or even
have their eyes closed, will be warned as well. If they don't respond, the car will slow down and
even stop. The system will be applied to all Volvo cars by early 2020.
This follows Volvo's recent announcement that it will be limiting the top speed on all of its
vehicles to 180 km/h(112 mph) in a bid to reduce traffic accidents. Over the years, the company built
its reputation on safety and designs.
"When it comes to safety, our aim is to avoid accidents altogether rather than limit the effect
when an accident is unavoidable," Henrik Green, senior vice president for research and development
at Volvo Car Group, said in a statement. "In this case, cameras will monitor behavior that may lead
to serious injury or death.”
The camera tracks the driver's eye movements, allowing for a "hands-free" driving experience.
If the driver's attention wanders, Super Cruise uses a series of warnings to ensure the driver keeps
their eyes on the road.
As cameras are in the name of safety, there's a real chance they can be misused to invade
privacy. Automakers are already collecting lots of information from your car today, but mostly for
vehicle analytics. GM(通用汽车公司)has said that the camera in its Cadillac cars isn't recording
anything.
Volvo didn't respond to questions about access to the vehicle's camera, but in a statement
clarified that the exact technical setup of the camera has yet to be decided.
32. What's the meaning of the underlined word "gauge" in the first paragraph?A. Warn. B. Judge. C. Indicate. D. Predict.
33. What will happen if the program is carried out?
A. The Volvo cars will be sold at a higher price.
B. The Volvo cars will meet with no accidents.
C. The Volvo cars will largely promote sales.
D. The Volvo cars will see fewer accidents.
34. What can we learn according to Henrik Green?
A. The in-car cameras will ensure the drivers' safety.
B. In fact a number of accidents are unavoidable.
C. The in-car cameras are designed to prevent accidents.
D. Volvo Car Group will do research on the accidents.
35. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Volvo is the first car:-maker to use in-car cameras.
B. Some people hold negative opinions on such cameras.
C. GM thinks fixing in-car cameras is their patent.
D. Volvo has no chance to spy on people's privacy.

Bound by manners, you can find it difficult to walk away from a conversation without seeming
rude. 36 Next time you feel trapped, follow these tips.
37
You can introduce your conversational partner to an individual with a common interest or
quality and hope that they hit it off. According to etiquette(礼仪)experts, the simplest way to leave
someone who is occupying your time alone at a party is to pull someone else into the conversation.
38 For example, "Bob, have you met Suzy yet?" "Hey Suzy, Bob was just telling me about his pet
dog. I know you also have one.”
Tell the person you've enjoyed speaking with them.
If your acquaintance can't tell that you're eager to leave, try summarizing your conversation in
the hope that your exchange will come to a natural end. According to etiquette experts, you can politely say, "Beverly, I have so enjoyed speaking with you and if you will excuse me,I have just
seen a colleague/friend/another person that I need to speak with.” 39
Give the other person a task.
If you're speaking with someone at a party or networking event, you can suggest activities to
your conversational partner. 40 Or ask, "Have you seen the ballroom downstairs yet? I was
down there earlier and it was so wonderful. You should have a look!” This method of ending a
conversation will work best at events.
A. Bring someone else into the conversation.
B. Speed up your conversation with the other person.
C. After a brief introduction, you are able to excuse yourself.
D. With the help of etiquette experts, we have some solutions.
E. Respecting your partner should come first during a conversation.
F. A farewell like this one will make the other person feel respected.
G. For example, say, "Hey, you should try the beef in the kitchen!”
