Have you ever had dreams about building a robot?Or putting together a spaceship?Or even seeing your face made out of chocolate?Done.All you need is a 3﹣D printer.
The possibilities of 3﹣D printing seem endless (无穷尽的).All the user has to do is to design an object on the computer and choose a material to print in.The printers print in hundreds of different materials including glass,sugar and even skin!When the user presses (按)﹣print,the 3﹣D printer spreads the materials layer (层) by layer and like magic the object is produced.
The first 3﹣D printer was invented in 1986by American,Charles Hull.But 3﹣D printing has only become cheap enough recently for most people to use.Designers now use 3﹣D printing to create unusual things.The Dutch artist Dirk Vander Kooj prints furniture made from old fridges.
And doctors have used 3﹣D printing to print human body parts!The Telegraph reported in February that scientists from Cornell Medical College even printed a man﹣made ear.But like a lot of new technologies,if 3﹣D printing gets into the wrong hands,it can be dangerous.
In 2011a group of four men in the US used 3﹣D printing to Produce ATM skimmers (提款机盗刷器).These were placed on an ATM and stole over $400,000from users of the ATM.It is terrible to think that criminals like them might one day use a 3﹣D printer to print a gun.But for better or for worse,3﹣D printing has been put into use.In a few years,you'll probably be wondering how you could ever live without your 3﹣D printer!

Shanghai is one of the first cities in China to see bike sharing fever. Shared bikes can now be found all over the city. (1) On streets, we can often see riders of your age. Some might even be younger than you. Unluckily, there have been some accidents involving (涉及)shared bikes. (2)
One of the most serious accidents took place in March. One Sunday afternoon, a boy was riding an ofo bike(共享单车). He was hit by a bus and later died. The boy' s parents were not by his side. (3) He was only about 10 years old.
The good news is that Shanghai has been trying to manage bike sharing by making rules. The rules are still being discussed, but some of the rules have been decided on. (4) Users must be between 1.45 and 1.95 meters tall.
However, it could be hard to make these rules work. Ou Jing is ofo's manager in Shanghai. He said the company had banned (禁止)children under 12 from using its service. Yet, young children can still be seen riding ofo bikes. That's because many ofo bikes use manual (手动的)locks. (5) Ofo has developed electronic locks. However, it will take some time for the company to fix the new locks on all of its bikes.
Most of you are old enough to ride a shared bike. Still, please ride slowly for your own safety. When you finish using the bike, don' t forget to park and lock it properly﹣﹣for everybody's safety.
根据短文内容,从方框中选出五个句子填入文中空缺处,使短文内容通顺完整.
A. If a user doesn't lock the bike properly after using it, anyone can ride it away. B. In fact, they are popular not only among adults but also among teens. C. All of the children under 12 have stopped riding ofo bikes. D. Besides, the boy was considered too young to ride a bike. E. For example, only people aged between 12 and 70 can ride shared bikes. F. These accidents warn us that shared bikes are not for everybody. |
Everyone needs help sometimes. People depend on one another. That's why communities have special people ready to lend a helping hand to anyone who needs it.
For example, what would we do without a community fire station? If a home catches on fire,as the Jackson place did last week, it might be burned down and people get hurt..or worse. We re so lucky to have firemen to come to save people and put out the fire, safely. If the fire station hadn't come so fast, the Jacksons might have lost everything.
And what about our local police who protect our families, our homes and valuable things?The police have helped so many families this past year,especially saving people and pets and protecting our houses and other things after the heavy rains.
Think about all the other service workers we have in this community. We have people who collect waste and rubbish and keep our community sanitary .We have road workers who put up and repair traffic signs and fix holes in the streets to protect not just us, but our cars! And where would this community be without the teachers in our school and the doctors, and nurses in our community hospitals?
Think again about what we eat every day; think again about what we wear every day. We cannot produce them, but we use them all the time. We get a lot from all these tireless workers who keep our community running. We need these people in the community. We depend on each other. Let's support each other and help each other. Only in this way can we make our community a better place.

Giving a speech in front of your class can be challenging. However, you can do something to make it success. First of all, you need to do something about your topic. For example, choose a topic about something you like, such as something that interests you or someone who is close to you. Once you've chosen your topic, try to find useful information about it online or from the library. As you do this, write down the information that supports your ideas in a valuable way.
Rehearsing(排练) your speech is also important. For this, you'd better write the script (讲稿) just like talking to your friends. Keep your script simple. Use interesting examples or stories to show your ideas. Once you finish your script, read it out loud to yourself and remember it. After that, write down 2to 3points that you may forget on a note card. Finally, you have to practice your speech in front of something or someone until you don't have to look at your note card.
In the end, it's time to give the speech. At this time, stand straight and hold your head high. This will show that you're confident. Show your listeners that you're excited by smiling before you begin and throughout the speech. Pause(停顿) after finishing a sentence, or after saying an important point. It will allow you time to collect your thoughts.
If you're out of breath while speaking or if your words start running together, you're most probably speaking too fast. If this happens, take a breath and slow down. While talking, look at your listeners, like friends. What's more, if you don't remember the next word or line, pause for one or two seconds to look at your note card. Before you begin speaking, take a deep breath, smile at your listeners, and then go on.
(1) to give a successful speech |
|
(2) for your speech |
• Choose a topic you are (3) in. •Collect information on your topic from books or on the (4) . • Write down the useful information. |
Rehearse your speech |
