26、   One of the biggest enemies of smartphone batteries is the phones ’ screens. The screens keep getting bigger, and they need to keep bright for outdoor use. 【1】 But, a new OLED technology can increase brightness and energy efficiency ( 效率). The technology is being developed by a team at the Imperial College London. They’re using a special development process to produce OLEDs that give off polarized light  (偏振光).

So, what's that all meaning? Screens often include filters (滤光器) to help reduce unpleasant bright light from outside. 【2】 However, they also can prevent lots of the light from the screen itself. Any light that doesn’t make it to your eyes is basically wasted energy. By creating OLEDs that send out polarized light, the team can get the light from the OLEDs to pass through a polarized filter while light from outside will still get filtered by it.

For now, the technology doesn’t mean much for phones we have in our hands. Since it's still being researched, it's not likely to find its way for upcoming phones very soon. 【3】

When it does, it would result in brighter screens and improved energy efficiency. Screens would not use the same amount of energy to produce bright light because none of it would be filtered out. 【4】

And, that would mean much longer-lasting batteries for smartphones.

【5】 For example, smartwatches don't pack large batteries, so any efficiency improvement would have a strong benefit.

A.That means they will use more energy.

B.Plenty of phones already get a full day of life.

C.This technology can be used in other areas as well.

D.But it would finally be applied to consumers’ phones.

E.It can give OLED screens a huge step forward in competition.

F.The new technology can almost double the efficiency of screens.

G.These make it easier to see the light coming from your phone's screen.

27、   Having good communication skills is important. They can help you with performances in class, during the job hunting, having arguments and in a variety of other situations. 【1】

1. Understanding the basics of communication skills.

Communication is the process (过程) of delivering signals or messages between a sender and a receiver through various methods. 【2】

2. Trying to attract the attention of your audience.

Whether you are speaking or listening, looking into the eyes of the person with whom you are having a conversation with can make the communication more successful. Eye-contact expresses interest and encourages your partner to be interested in you in return.

You can use gestures to help. 【3】 Make your whole body talk. Use smaller gestures for individuals and small groups. The gestures should get larger as the group that one is talking to increases in size.

3. 【4】

People will think of you as nervous and unsure of yourself if you talk fast. However, be careful not to slow down to the point where people begin to finish the sentence just to help you finish.

People will judge your ability through your vocabulary. 【5】 Improve your vocabulary by reading new words regularly. Look in the dictionary to help you learn how to pronounce a new word.

Communication increases happiness and love and makes you more popular. When you improve how you talk and present yourself, you will build your confidence, self-esteem (自尊) and social life.

A.Using your words.

B.These include gestures with hands and face.

C.Learning to get in the mood for conversation.

D.If you aren’t sure of how to say a word, don’t use it.

E.It is also the skill we use to build and keep relationships.

F.If you do that, you’ll make conversations far more interesting.

G.Here are some tricks you can use to improve your communication skills.

28、Confidence in Maths, Confidence for Life.

Changing Lives Through Maths!

Mathnasium of North Oxford, your neighbourhood maths-only learning centre!

We help children aged 13 — 18 understand maths in a special way. Our way of teaching children maths, the Mathnasium Method, has changed the way students learn maths for over a decade across 800 + centres worldwide:

• We know how to teach your child maths.

Our specially trained maths teachers will teach your child how to understand maths in a special setting—our unique approach enables us to effectively explain maths concepts (概念)well and lend a helping hand to every student. Our teachers create a caring, encouraging environment that helps your child "catch up, keep up and get ahead" in their maths learning.

• We find exactly your child' s learning needs, meet them where they are and take them where they need to go.

At Mathnasium we use our unique assessment process (评估过程)to determine exactly what each child knows and what they need to learn. Next, we design an individual(单独的)learning plan for each student. It  doesn' t stop there—our teachers continually check progress along the way to make sure students truly understand the concepts we've taught. Students learn maths at their own speed and according to their own level. They will see obvious changes in attitude, confidence and school progress.

Note that there is one word more than you need.

A Bad Idea

Think you can walk, dive, take phone calls, e-mail and listen to music at the same time? Well, New York's new law says you can't. And you'll be 【1】 $S100 if you do it on a New York City street.

The law went into force last month, following research and a(n) 【2】number of accidents that involved people using electronic gadgets when crossing the street.

Who's to【3】 ? Scientists say that our multitasking abilities are limited.

"We are under the impression that our brain can do more than it often can," says Rene Marois, a neuroscientist in Tennessee. “But a major limitation is the inability to【4】on two things at once".

The young people are often considered the great multitaskers. However, an Oxford University research suggests this idea is open to question. A group of 18-to 21-year-olds and a group of 35-to 39-year-olds were given 90 seconds to translate【5】into numbers, using a simple code. The younger group did 10 percent better when not interrupted. But when both groups were interrupted by a phone call or a(n) 【6】message, the older group matched the younger group in speed and 【7】.

It is difficult to measure the productivity【8】by multitaskers. But it is probably a lot. Jonathan Spire, chief analyst at Basex. a business-research firm, estimates the cost of interruptions to the American economy at nearly $650 billion a year.

The【9】is based on surveys with office workers. The surveys conclude that 28 percent of the workers' time was spent on interruptions and【10】time before they returned to their main tasks.
