阅读短文,掌握大意,然后从每小题后的A,B,C,D四个选项中,选出一个最佳选项。

    A new camera made by a company named Netatmo has facial recognition software (面部识别系统) that can tell parents at work that their children have returned from school, or that a package has been taken to their home, It can also tell if a stranger has entered their home. Janina Mattausch is a product marketing manager for Netatmo.

    "The common security (安全) cameras at present are not that smart. So, they can tell you if something is moving but they don't necessarily know if it's a human being or if it's your kids—they don't know the difference, so they will warm you all the time."

    When family members enter a home, the new camera "recognizes" them and sends information to the owner's smart phone. The owner can choose to see the video then or later. But if an unknown person enters a home, the camera will send the owner a warning that will cause an alarm to sound on the owner's smart phone.

    That is what happened recently to a smart home camera owner named Damien. He lives in Paris. "On a Friday, I was at work, attending a big monthly meeting when my phone warned. At first I told myself' Oh, it must be a mistake, maybe I have to set the system again.' But the notice on my phone was telling me that there was a movement in my flat and also a face that the software did not recognize." He watched the video and was very surprised by what he saw." "I saw a person I did not know with his shoes on. I was watching it live on video. So I felt totally unbelievable, frozen. I asked a workmate to take me back home as fast as possible and I called the police on the way."

    With the help of the video, the police found the thief later that day.

(1)、The new camera made by Netatmo can _______ .
A、warn the strangers B、recognize the comers C、stop the visitors D、welcome the children
(2)、The fourth paragraph mainly tells us _______.
A、where the new camera is placed B、what the new camera looks like C、when the new camera is used D、how the new camera works
(3)、We can learn from the passage that Damien ______.

(4)、The writer proves(证明) the new camera works well by ______.

举一反三
 阅读下列短文,根据短文内容从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。

① Animal behavior is an interesting and attractive study. Scientists research the ways animals use to look for food. They study how animals protect themselves from their predators, and which animals kill other animals for food. All of this helps us understand how useful animals can be.

② Each country or culture raises some animals for food. In the United States, people mainly eat meat from cows, chickens and pigs. In some other countries, people might raise sheep or buffalo for meat. These differences come in part from weather and other environmental conditions (状况). People around the world eat al kinds of fish and shellfish from oceans and rivers. In some countries, people don't always choose some animal groups, such as dogs, for food while in other countries such animals may become people's favorite food.

③ In West Africa, animals provide humans with more than food. They have been helping people do daily work for thousands of years. Horses, oxen, and other work animals pull heavy things. Elephants, camels and other animals carry people and things from place to place. Carrier pigeons (信鸽) have been used to send messages.

④ People also receive health benefits (利益) from animals. For example, dogs and cats can help calm people down. This is helpful for people fighting illnesses. Animals can also reduce stress, helping people to draw their attention to learning new information, such as reading. When people are walking their dogs or horses, it encourages exercise.

⑤ Animals and humans share space on Earth, so keeping a healthy relationship with animals around us is in our best interest.

Mother's Day first began in America. A mother was very kind. After she died, her daughter wanted to remember her so she wanted to make a day for all the mothers. In 1913, America decided to make the second Sunday of May to be Mother's Day and every family had to put up a national flag to show their love to mothers. Later, it became an important festival to remember and praise(赞扬) all the mothers in the world.

In China, some people want to make our own Mother's Day. There is a famous story about Mother Meng. She loved her son very much and did a lot for her son. Chinese people think she was a great mother, so people want to make lunar(阴历的) April 2nd to be the day. Because Mother Meng's son——Mengzi was born on that day.

On Mother's Day, children often help their mothers do some cleaning and they also buy gifts for their mothers. Some mothers even go for a trip and have some other activities to celebrate this day.

 Critical thinking(批判性思维) is trying to improve the way you think. People use critical thinking in every area of life to solve problems and evaluate claims(评估主张) Like every other skill, critical thinking takes practice. When a problem comes our way, we need to think critically to decide how to solve it. When we see an advertisement, for example, we should stop and think. Advertisements are made to make people feel certain that they are true, and then people can buy the products. But is what the advertisement says true? Is it making a claim? Or does it only int erest us? Critical thinking is important and stops us from making poor choices. In fact, we are using it if we ask questions naturally about what we see.

 Practice makes perfect. While you are growing in critical thinking, you' ll become a wiser and more thoughtful person. There are many ways of doing practice. Here are a few.

 Read about a topic people disagree on. Look at articles or books on all sides of the subject. For each side of the subject, think carefully and evaluate it.

 When you see or hear a claim, ask questions about it. Who is making the claim and why?

 Evaluate your own thinking. Where and why do you think uncritically? How can you improve? Critical thinking should be part of everything we do. It may help you to succeed at work or school. Make yourself into a habit of critical thinking. Change your thoughts and change your world.
