19、o break down and the pine cones started falling all over our front porch. We took the wreath down, planning to repair it, and gathered up the pine cones. That spring, as my husband, Don, was weeding the flower bed in front of our house, he was surprised to discover a small evergreen plant.We decided
20、 to leave it alone. The determined tree kept growing, making it right through the long winter. When it got too big for the flower bed we moved it to the back of our lot. As the tree grew, so did our family, including four grandchildren. One day the men from the electric company came to trim (修剪) our

A special pine cone wreathCWith a starting price of $999, the iPhone X has the highest-price of any iPhone ever offered. Yet Apple said demand for its
26、 latest smartphone has so far been “off the charts.“One of the most-talked about features of the iPhone X is the new front and back-facing cameras. Apple says its TrueDepth technology greatly improves performance for photographs and video. The camera is also trained to recognize faces and expression
27、s. The company says this gives users power to open up the phone just by looking at it.The new Face ID recognition system replaces the Touch ID on other Apple devices that used a fingerprint to unlock the phone. It works by projecting more than 30,000 dots on the face of users to create a kind of map
28、. An infrared (红外线的) camera then reads these marks to create an image that can be confirmed as having the same appearance.Apple says the system is also designed to continually learn. Each time the face is used to unlock the phone, it is supposed to note any changes, such as facial hair or the person
29、 getting older. The system can then remember the changes to keep recognizing the person over time. Reviewers reported successful tests in which the phone recognized the face in different situations and unlocked the device. But most reviewers also said the feature did not work perfectly all the time.
30、One fairly common failure was that the Face ID sometimes did not unlock the iPhone X if the user wore a certain kind of sunglasses. Not surprisingly, wearing any kind of disguise even one covering just part of the face caused Face ID to fail. It was found to work correctly when the user was wearing
31、headphones or a hat.Apple has also admitted that Face ID could fail when used with young people who look very much alike. But Apple says its research shows there is only a one in a million chance of another person being able to unlock someone elses iPhone X with Face ID. The company has promised the
32、 system will become “the new gold standard“ for all facial recognition.28. How can users unlock an iPhone X?A. By using a fingerprint. B. By taking a picture.C. By looking at the iPhone X . D. By recognizing users faces.29. From the text, we know the new Face ID recognition _.A. will recognize users
33、 by reading the dots projected on their facesB. will recognize users by using the dots on their facesC. wont recognize users when they get olderD. is no better than the Touch ID technology30. Users cant unlock an iPhone X if they wear _.A. glasses B. masks C. hats D. headphones31. What can we infer
34、from the last paragraph?A. Young people cant use the Face ID successfully. B. The system has become “the new gold standard”.C. A million people are using the iPhone X. D.

Well, Proxima b, o
36、r “Earth II” as you could call it, is a little bigger than our Earth, and its revolution only takes 11 days. Also, since it is so much closer to its red dwarf star than Earth to the sun, the sky there is orange without any blue at all, creating a forever sunset effect. But there are a lot of questio
37、ns about life forms that could live on this new planet.The discovery of the planet made the Chicago Tribune newspaper wonder if anyone had seen or heard of the USs space postcards from its Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 spaceship, which were pictures of a man and a woman, along with diagrams of the solar
38、 system. If there were aliens (外星人 ) on Proxima b, they would have found images showing the incredible diversity of Earth.Aliens might also have heard the message from former US President Jimmy Carter: “This is a present from a small distant world We are attempting to survive our time so we may live
39、 into yours. We hope someday, having solved the problems we face, to join a community of galactic (银河的 ) civilizations. This record represents our hope and our determination, and our good will in a vast and awesome universe.”It might not be time to plan a visit to Proxima b just yet even if it has a
