21、As a girl who has lived in both places, I can tell you that country living certainly beats the city life! Living in a village has advantages that simply can’t be bought at any price.

In the city, I was tired of the sounds of horns blowing and sirens blaring. In the country, I’m surrounded by the singing of birds, along with the pleasant sound of a cool breeze flowing through the trees.

On congested city streets, I had to deal with tired drivers and careless pedestrians. On winding country roads, I have to try my best to ignore the postcard—like beauty of the farmland and forests so I can keep my eyes on the road.

Yes, country living is the lifestyle that I, like most people who have had the opportunity to experience it, prefer. Instead of salespeople knocking on my door hoping to leave with some of my money, I have warm, friendly neighbors dropping by with baskets of fresh vegetables from their gardens — not to sell of course. They simply enjoy sharing the rewards of their country lifestyles with others.

Living in the country means that I can get up at 8:00 in the morning and enjoy a leisurely jog down a path or simply sit on a riverbank under a big tree with a fishing pole in my hand.

Yes, I do enjoy my country lifestyle! Having spent much of my life living in many cities around the world, I can now enjoy the peace and quietness of my country home. For me, a country lifestyle makes it easy to look forward to the next day!

22、   Le Trung, 33, has spent ￡14,000 creating Aiko, who he describes as “in her 20s” with a 32, 33 figure, shiny hair and delicate features.

She can speak English and Japanese and is so accomplished at mathematics she can do Mr Trung’s accounts.Mr Trung, from Brampton in Ontario，Canada，said he has never had time to find a real partner—so he designed and created his ideal woman using the latest technology.

She even helps me with directions when we're going somewhere. When I need to do my accounts, Aiko does all the maths. She is very patient and never complains. She doesn’t need holidays, food or rest and she will work almost 24 hours a day. She is the perfect woman.”

24、   Wearable sensors (传感器) could one day interpret the gestures in sign language and translate them into English，providing a high­tech solution to communication problems between deaf people and those who don't understand sign language.

Engineers at Texas A & M University are developing a wearable device that can sense movement and muscle activity in a person's arms. The device works by figuring out the gestures a person is making by using two sets of sensors：one that responds to the motion of the wrist and the other to the muscular movements in the arm. A program then wirelessly receives this information and changes the data into the English translation. “Most of the technology was based on vision­based or camera­based solutions,” said study lead researcher Roozbeh Jafari，an associate professor of biomedical engineering at Texas A & M University.

These existing designs, Jafari said，are not enough，because often when someone is talking with sign language，he or she is using hand gestures combined with specific finger movements.“I thought maybe we should look into combining motion sensors and muscle activation，”Jafari told Live Science. “And the idea here was to build a wearable device.”

The researchers have built a system that can recognize words that people use most commonly in their daily conversations. Jafari said that once the team starts expanding the program，the engineers will include more words that are less frequently used，in order to build up a more substantial vocabulary.

One drawback of it is that the system has to be “trained ” to respond to each individual that wears the device，Jafari said. This training process involves asking the user to repeat or do each hand gesture a couple of times，which can take up to 30 minutes to complete.

【1】How does the new device work?

A.By figuring out gestures from fingers.

B.By connecting the wrist and the fingers.

C.By linking the arm and the fingers.

D.By collecting information from the wrist and the arm.

【2】The researchers eventually decided on a wearable device to ________.

A.make it easier to monitor the gestures when people are talking

B.make the translation process faster

C.compete with existing designs

D.make it user­friendly

【3】We can replace the underlined word in Paragraph 4 by “ ________ ”.

A.necessary B.influential

C.extensive D.essential

【4】What can we infer from the text?

A.The device has greatly increased in sales.

B.The device still requires much improvement.

C.We should work out of 30 minutes.

D.We should be trained to respond quickly.
