Four years ago, we asked ourselves: what if we could create a shopping experience with no waiting in lines and no checkout? Or could we create a physical store where customers could simply take what they want and go? Our answer to those questions is Amazon Go, where you could experience the idea of “just walk out shopping”.

Amazon Go is a new kind of store with no checkout required. We created the world’s most advanced shopping technology, so you never have to wait in line. With our “just walk out shopping” experience, simply use the Amazon Go app to enter the store, take the products you want, and go! No lines, no checkout.

Our checkout-free shopping experience is made possible by the same types of technologies used in self-driving cars: computer vision, sensor fusion(融合), and deep learning. Our “just walk out technology” automatically detects when products are taken from or returned to the shelves and keeps track of them in your virtual cart. When you’ve done shopping, you can just leave the store. Shortly after, we’ll charge your Amazon account and send you a receipt(收据).

We offer delicious ready-to-eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack choices made fresh every day by our on-site chefs and favorite local kitchens and bakeries. Our selection of foodstuff ranges from bread and milk to cheeses and locally made chocolates. You’ll find well-known brands we love, plus special finds we’re excited to introduce to customers. For a quick home-cooked dinner, pick up one of our chef-designed Amazon Meal Kits, and you can make a meal for two in about 30 minutes.

Our 1,800-square-foot shopping space is conveniently compact(紧凑的), so busy customers can get in and out fast. It is located at 2131, 7th Ave, Seattle, WA, on the corner of 7th Avenue and Blanchard Street. All you need is an Amazon account, a supported smart phone, and the free Amazon Go app.

Amazon Go is now only open to Amazon employees in our testing program, and will be open to the public soon.

       I’m Li Mei, a student from Class 6, an eleventh grader in our school. Of many wonderful memory in my senior years, my New Year’s party of 2017 is most unforgettable one.

       The party was organized by ourself. Before the party, we prepare a lot of foods and fruits besides some humor and interesting performances. At the party, we danced while we singsing excitedly for more than three hours in our classroom, completely forget our homework and pressure. It was the first time that I have sung an English song before so many people. My classmates gave me much applause and praise, that increased my self-confidence greatly. Undoubted, what I did and got at the party left a deep impression on me, and I will never forget it.

   Organic exercise is a good fit for people looking to train functionally. It is defined as exercise that is similar to the type of physical activity performed by ancient hunter-gatherer ancestors. Organic exercise is generally preformed in natural or outdoor settings.  36   Organic exercise may include such activities as walking, jogging, swimming, hiking or rock climbing.

When it comes to organic exercise, one of its most significant benefits is its limited reliance on equipment.   __37   Going for a jog, walking, or even hiking does not require tools, weights, or even hiking does not require tools, weights, or other products, and therefore, is fairly inexpensive.

Since the types of activity emphasized in organic exercise programs are similar to those performed as part of daily life, they do not require extensive or long amounts of practice to obtain proficiency(精通).   38  therefore the type of activity recommended in an organic workout routine can be performed by beginning or advanced exercisers alike with relative ease.

   While the type of exercise recommended in an organic workout may be easy enough to perform, the intensity at which it is recommended can be too much for some individuals.   39  Individuals who are new to exercise or suffer from a chronic health condition that limits their physical ability may find it difficult to perform exercise that is especially strenuous.

   ___40   Individuals who are new to exercise may want to talk with their health care provider before choosing this type of activity. In some cases, it may be better to start off with a more traditional workout and slowly transition to organic exercise than starting with this regimen(养生法)right off the bat.

A. Weigh both the benefits and drawbacks

B. In fact, it can be done nearly anywhere, any time

C. Therefore it requires very little helping equipment

D. Choosing the right types of organic exercise is important

E. Most adults already know how to hike, swim or dig, for example

F. In fact, one of the biggest drawbacks is the emphasis on high-intensity exercise

G. While organic exercise may be a good choice for some, it is right for all adults.

Most people need to hear “I love you”. Once in a while, they hear them just   41   .

I met Connie the day she was   42   to the hospice ward (病房) ,where I worked as a   43  . Her husband, Bill, stood nervous nearby as she was   44   to the hospital bed. While Connie was in the final   45  of her fight against cancer, she was   46  .

Connie was a   47  . As we became acquainted , she confided (吐露) how   48   it was to be married 32 years to a man who often called her “a silly woman”.

“I know Bill loves me. “she said.” But he has never been one to say he loves me, or send cards to me. I’d give anything if he’d say ‘I love you’, but it’s just not in his   49  .”

Soon, when Connie had fewer   50   moments, I began spending more of my volunteer time with Bill.

One day, I got him on the   51  of women, how we need romance in our lives and how we love to got sentimental cards.

“I don’t have to,” he said. “She knows I do!”

“I’m sure she knows,” I said, “but she needs to hear what she has   52   to you all these years. Please think about it.”

Two days later I walked down the hospice ward at noon. There stood Bill, leaning   53  the wall in the hallway and staring at the floor. I already knew Connie had   54   at 11 a.m.

When I saw Bill. his face was wet with   55   and he was   56  .

He said, “I have to say how good I feel about telling her. He stopped to   57   his nose. “This morning I told her how much I loved her…and loved being married to her. You   58   have seen her smile!”

I went into the room to say goodbye to Connie. There, on the bedside table, was a large Valentine   59   from Bill,   60   : “To my wonderful wife…I love you.”

Balance Creates Happiness

       As is shown in the picture above, the student is struggling hard to balance his studies and hobbies．

You must have written your research paper, your personal essay, your book review-----whatever your school class requires. You think you have provided good information in the needed number of words.___16___

But is it really done? Many teachers and professional writers believe that writing is revision.___17___

Revision of writing is a necessary skill for students. The classroom is a good place to practice patience, concentration and listening. There are rewards with spending time with your thoughts and really taking time to compose your ideas in an orderly and reasonable way. You should put away your paper after you have written a first version, or draft. Wait several hours, maybe overnight, before working on it more.___18___ Not only are you refreshed, but you’re looking at things through different eyes. That’s what revision literally means—to see again through different eyes.

Following a four-step process may help you with your paper. The first step in the process is invention. It includes forming many questions about your subject. It is called “question-storming”.___19___Then comes the revision period. Take your time to read what you’ve written, to think about it, and maybe to re-shape it based on what you see now, as a kind of new person looking at it with a reader’s eyeglasses rather than a writer’s. The fourth step is called “publication”.____20____In a sense, anytime you turn it over to another person, that’s publication.

Probably, the process takes away some of the tension of writing. And worry about the quality of your writing often disappears when you share that writing.

A. Perfect writing is not possible.

B. In the second step, you draft and compose a paper.

C. And you feel good because your work is finished.

D. This is just like returning to a job after a vacation.

E. This does not mean your writing is professional publication.

F. What is most important is getting your thoughts and ideas on paper.

G. In other words, writing well means making needed changes and rewriting.

Thinking of my good friends, I sense that my attitudes are totally different towards men and women.

My earliest childhood friend is Donald. In the street was a (an) ___21___ old German truck. No wheels. No doors. Each day, ___22___ we were flying over the Atlantic in that truck our “airplane”，there came that wonderful moment: “Engine ___23___!” I’d shout, “We’ll have to jump out.” Glancing at me，he’d say, “I can’t ___24___!” “Fear not! I’ll drag you to the ___25___.

And when we swam ___26___ the dust, Donald cried “Sharks!” But I always ___27___ him. The next day, changing ___28___，Donald would do the same to me. We saved each other hundreds of times, but when my family really did leave for America, we could do ___29___. We just cried silently as the train ___30___.

These days, Jessica is one of my best friends. Recently we were swimming at a beach in the Atlantic, the ___31___ one I had “flown” over in my German truck with Donald. We were far form shore when we both thought we ___32___ a shark! We began swimming ___33___ toward the shore. Although in ___34___，I fell back to protect her. In the end» the “shark” proved ___35___，but not my deep emotional feeling for my friend. We looked into each other’s eyes and said, “I love you!”

You see with women I could be ___36___    ，emotionally honest and transparent. With male friends, it seemed impossible to ___37___ caring feelings however deep the friendship was. “Am I normal?” I thought to myself. Much to my ___38___，researches show that men and women have very different ___39___ and rational (理性的) processes. I do love all my friends - only the means of expression ___40___.

   Sometimes，you just can’t help it．Maybe you’re watching a sad movie，or thinking about the friend who moved away．Next thing you know，your eyes are watering，and you have tears running down your cheeks．Why do people cry when they are emotional? What are tears? Scientists are working hard to find the answers to these questions．

    Ad Vingerhoets is a professor of psychology at Tilburg University，in the Netherlands．He is one of the few scientists in the world who have studied crying．According to Vingerhoets，there are three types of tears．Basal tears are the first type．They lubricate(润滑)the eyes and act as a protective barrier between the eye and the rest of the World．Next are reflex tears．They wash your eyes clean when something gets in them．Finally，there are emotional tears.“These are released in response to emotional states，”explains Vingerhoets．“Especially when we feel helpless．”

    Scientists believe that crying has something to do with how humans developed and learned to depend on each other．“Humans are very complex social creatures，”says Lauren Bylsma，a professor at the University of Pittsburgh，in Pennsylvania．“It seems that tears serve to arouse help and support．from others，’’She says．“Another reason we weep is that humans have the longest developmental period of almost any animal．It takes a long time to grow up．”

    Vingerhoets agrees．“I think that the reason why humans shed tears(流眼泪)has something to do with our childhood，”he says．“That’s the time when we are stir dependent on adults for love and protection and care．The major advantage of emotional tears is that you can target them at a specific person．”Vingerhoets says this ability to target someone could have come in hand in prehistoric times，when humans were living among dangerous animals．Crying could attract predators(捕食者)．Tears were a safer way to get attention．In this case，it is better to use a silent signal to ask for help，”he says．   

    Vingerhoets and Bylsma do frequent studies to better understand why humans cry．According to Byhma，there is still much more to discover．“It’s surprising，”she says，“how much we stiil don’t know．”   

32．Which of the following is reflex tears?

A．Tears when eyes are dry．         B．Tears moved by a story．

C．Tears released when crying．        D．Tears when dirt gets into eyes．

33．What’s the function of tears according to Bylsma?

A．It helps human develop longer．  B．It helps humans attract predators.

C．It helps arouse attention．             D．It helps people to be independent．

34．What can we learn from the passage?

A．Emotional tears are better than reflex tears．

B．Basal tears are a type of protective barrier．

C．Tears helped frighten predators away．

D．It’s easy to understand why humans cry．

35．What’s the main idea of this passage?

A．Why people shed tears．            B．When people shed tears．   

C．How people shed tears．           D．Where people shed tears．
