26、Owning a smartphone may not be as smart as you think. It may let you surf the Internet, listen to music and snap photos wherever you are…but it also turns you into a workaholic, it seems.

A study suggests that, by giving you access to emails at all times, the all-singing, all-dancing mobile phone adds as much as two hours to your working day. Researchers found that Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles.

The study by technology retailer Pixmania reveals the average UK working day is between 9 and 10 hours, but a further two hours is spent responding to or sending work emails, or making work calls. More than 90 percent of office workers have email-enabled phones, with a third accessing them more than 20 times a day. Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails. Some workers confess(承认) they are on call almost 24 hours a day, with nine out of ten saying they make work emails and calls outside their normal working hours. The average time for first checking emails is between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m., with more than a third checking their first emails in this period, and a quarter checking them between 11 p.m. and midnight.

Ghadi Hobeika, marketing director of Pixmania, said, “The ability to access literally millions of apps, keep in contact via social networks and take photos and video as well as text and call has made smartphones invaluable for many people. However, there are drawbacks. Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and smartphones mean that people literally cannot get away from work. The more constantly in contact we become , the more is expected of us in a work capacity(容量).”

【1】What can we conclude from the text?

28、TRUE STORIES IN 100 WORDS

Monkey in the Middle

I often go to the primate （灵长类）building at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. A chimpanzee （猩猩）named Beau began to recognize me. He would copy what I did when seeing me. When I told my friend Jerry about this, he was doubtful. So one day, I brought him with me. Beau came down, looked at me and my friend, then went to get a drink of water. When he returned, Beau spit his mouthful of water at Jerry. Was he envious？ We had a good laugh.

—Sandy Rozelman Euclid, Ohio

A Hard Pill to Swallow

As a doctor, I instruct patients on their new medicines. One day, I was informing a woman about the side effects of her medicine, especially sleepiness. “You won't be able to work or drive while you're taking this,” I told her. “Do you have any questions？” Her little boy, who had been quietly standing next to her, raised his hand. “Can she still cook？” he asked. “Of course, she can,” I replied. His mother explained pitifully, “He was hoping you'd say no.”

—Lita Hernandez Manchaca, Texas

He asked each applicant, “What's two plus two？” The first interviewee, an engineer, pulled out a slide rule and said it was between 3.999 and 4.001. He didn't get the job. The next, a lawyer, stated that according to Jenkins Brown, two plus two was four. She also failed. The last applicant was an accountant.

29、   Whether they’re speeding in to deliver packages or spotting victims in disaster zones, clouds of flying robots could have a range of important functions in the future, a new study found. The robots can change from driving to flying without hitting each other and could offer benefits beyond the traditional flying-car concepts of science fiction, the study said.

The ability to both fly and walk is common in nature. For instance, many birds, insects and other animals can do both. Robots with similar features could fly over obstacles on the ground or drive under overhead obstacles. But currently, robots that are good at one mode(模式) of transportation are usually bad at others, study lead author Brandon Araki and his colleagues said in their new study. The researchers previously developed a robot named the “flying monkey” that could run and fly, as well as grasp items. However, the researchers had to program the paths the flying monkey would take; in other words, it could not find safe routes by itself.

Now, these scientists have developed flying cars that can both fly and drive through a simulated(模拟) city-like setting that has parking spots, landing pads and no-fly zones. Moreover, these drones(无人机) can move autonomously without hitting each other, the researchers said. “Our vehicles can find their own safe paths”, Araki told Live Science.

“The most important meaning of our research is that vehicles that combine flying and driving have the potential to be both much more efficient and much more useful than vehicles that can only drive or only fly”, Araki said.

The scientists warned that automated flying taxis are likely not coming anytime soon. “Our current system of drones certainly isn’t powerful enough to actually carry people right now.” The scientists detailed their findings on June I at the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers’ International Conference on Robotics and Automation in Singapore.

【1】Which of the following is true about the research on flying vehicles?

A.It focuses on two- mode creatures.

B.It has made functional breakthroughs.

C.It will come to an end in vain.

D.It is based on the traditional concepts.

【2】What’s the drawback of the “flying monkey”?

A.It could avoid obstacles. B.It could both run and fly.

C.It knew how to catch things. D.It followed the set routes.

【3】What would be the best title for this text?

A.No More Flying Robots.

B.Let Go Of Flying Monkey.

C.Here Come Autonomous Flying Cars.

D.No Flying Taxi on The Way.
