One day, the man saw a cocoon. He saw the cocoon with a tiny opening. 2.这只蝴蝶正尝试着破茧而出。 He decided to watch how the butterfly would come out of the cocoon. Unluckily, even after several hours, it couldn't come out. It seemed that the butterfly tried its best and could not have any more tries. The man decided to help the butterfly. 3. He got a pair of scissors and broke the cocoon. The butterfly came out without any difficulty!

24、“I’m getting taller and taller,” Alice said. She looked down at her feet. They seemed very far away.

“Goodbye, feet! OUCH!” Alice’s head hit the ceiling of the room. She was now more than nine feet tall.

She picked up the key and went back to the door. But she was too big now. She sat down and started to cry again. She cried and cried and cried. Her tears fell on the ground and soon there was a pool of water around her.

PITTER, PATTER, PITTER, PITTER. She looked up. The White Rabbit was running towards her. He had a fan in one hand and a pair of white gloves in the other. As he ran, he muttered, “Oh, the Duchess! The Duchess. She’s going to be very angry.” Alice whispered, “Sir, please,” but her voice frightened the Rabbit. He dropped the fan and the gloves and ran away quickly down a dark passage. Alice put the key on the table, picked up the gloves and the fan and started to fan herself.

“How strange everything is today,” she said sadly. “Yesterday things were normal. Did I change during the night? Am I a different girl today? If I am a different girl, who am I? Am I Mabel?” (Mabel was a girl at Alice’s school.)

“No, I can’t be! I know a lot of things and she knows, well, only a few.”

“I wonder if I can remember the multiplication tables (乘法口诀). Let’s see, four times five is twelve, and four times seven is...Oh dear! What about Geography? London is the capital of Paris, and Paris is the capital of Rome, that’s wrong. Perhaps I am Mabel!”

25、   Although we may not realize it when we talk with others, we make our meanings understood not only by words, we send messages to the people around us, but also by body movements. We call it “body language” which is a kind of action communication. A smile and handshake show welcome. Waving hands stands for “goodbye”. Nodding the head means “agreement”, while shaking it means “disagreement”. Putting up a hand means “May I ask a question?” Putting a finger over the mouth means “be quiet”. These gestures are accepted between Chinese and Americans as having the same meanings.

People in Singapore now see a yellow and black robot "dog" called Spot in the parks. Boston Dynamics, a US company, designed the robot. It has a camera to scan（扫描）the environment, so it knows how many people are in the park. The dog goes around the park and plays a pre-recorded message, telling visitors to stay away from each other.

There are many videos about Spot online. It can climb up stairs, dance to music, go through difficult areas and even open doors. The robot dog now works in only some of the parks in Singapore, but this is about to change. "It works very well.

27、What Is Self-tracking All about

Perhaps you’ve tracked（观测） how many kilometers you’ve run, how many hours you’ve slept or how much you’ve eaten in a day.

If so, you’ve taken part in a popular movement called the “Quantified Self Movement” or “Self-tracking”. Maybe you’ve wanted to change a bad habit but couldn’t. Self-tracking may be your answer. The idea is to collect information about your everyday activities and analyze（分析） them to help improve and form a healthier lifestyle.

Recently, tools such as smartphones, apps, along with newly published wearable things, are making self-tracking easy. Today, one can use Fitbit, the Jawbone Up, Google Glass or a smart watch to record personal data(数据) including sleeping hours, stress levels, heart rate and mood.

So why does a person self-track? Someone may be trying to lose weight or improve their sleep. Another person feels tired after eating. Self-tracking could help him to know what foods make him sleepy and watch his diet.

Tracking daily activities isn’t a new concept. In years past, athletes and their coaches kept notes food, training and sleep in order to achieve an athletic goal. Similarly, doctors have also helped patients to record parts of their lifestyles and eating habits to help fight health problems. However, it wasn’t until 2007 that magazine writers Gary Wolf and Kim Kelly created the term (术语) “Quantified Self” or  “self-tracking”.

Although self-tracking has many advantages, Dennis Nash, president of Data Speaks Health Solutions, says self-tracking has its disadvantages. Once people start tracking their daily activities, it can become an extra task people like to do often. Also, they might begin to worry too much about their health.

Though self-tracking doesn’t make sure that one’s quality of life will improve, it can encourage people to make healthier choices.

【1】People choose self-tracking because _______.

A. it watches your eating habits

B. it increases your movement

C. it records how many kilometers you run every day

D. it collects personal data and leads to self- improvement

【2】The writer mentions tools such as smartphones and apps in Paragraph 3 to show _______.

A. we depend too much on them

B. it is easier to do self-tracking

C. they do harm to people’s health

D. tools are necessary to do self-tracking

【3】Self-tracking was firstly come up with by _______.

A. two magazine writers

B. athletes and their coaches

C. doctors and their patients

D. scientists of Data Speaks Health Solutions

【4】You can find this article in the part of _______.

A. Education   B. Sports   C. Health   D. News
