河南省南阳市镇平县2020年5月九年级英语调研测试(一模)试卷(音频暂未更新)
Your third year of middle school was probably a difficult and busy time. You may have had trouble getting enough sleep. We all know that not getting enough sleep is not good for our health. But it has be found that less sleep could even cause you to have fewer friends, the Guardian reported.
According to researchers from the University of California, people who don't get enough sleep are less willing to socialize(社交)with others. They are simply too tired to go out.
The researchers did a small study. They tested 18 young people who had just had a good night's sleep -as well as tested them again after a sleepless night. The participants watched videos of people with expressions walking toward them. When the person on the video got too "close" to them, they pushed a button to stop the video, which recorded how close they allowed the person to get.
The results showed that the participants kept the person at a further distance if they hadn't gotten enough sleep. They might think the person intruded their personal space. But when the participants got a good night's sleep, they allowed the person to get much closer to them.
According to a lead researcher Matthew Walker, the less sleep you get, the less you want to socialize with others. In turn, other people may think you look strange and stay away from you. This can make you feel lonely and cause you to sleep even less. It becomes a vicious cycle (恶性循环).
So if you want to be a more sociable and popular person, seeping well might help. "One night of good see makes you feel more outgoing and confident." Walker told the Daily Mail.
Did you know that cigarette butts(烟头) are the most common form of rubbish in our lives? People throw about 4.5 trillion(万亿) of them into the environment every year. Cigarette butts can kill fish, and they have been found in the stomachs of sea turtles, birds and other wildlife. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}.
Now, Dutch company TechTics plans to help solve the cigarette problem with its BeachBot (BB).{#blank#}2{#/blank#}Even part of the butt hidden in the sand can be found. At just 80 centimeters wide, BB has four wheels, two cameras and two arms to pick up cigarette butts. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}Once it finds cigarette butts, BB just needs to place them into a bin(垃圾箱) that it carries. After it finishes cleaning, people deal with the waste properly.
However, BB still needs help to tell the difference between things like a cigarette butt and a small seashell(海贝壳).{#blank#}4{#/blank#}Using this app, anyone with a smartphone can send BB photos of cigarette butts to help the robot learn to know them. Besides that, TechTics works on a pair of smaller robots that can look for cigarette butts. They tell the larger robot where the butts are so it can pick them up.
{#blank#}5{#/blank#}But while the robot works well without wasting time, TechTics wants to get people to litter less. If people stop throwing their cigarette butts onto the beach, robots like BB wouldn't be necessary.
A. The way this robot works is very simple. B. To do this, the company turns to Microsoft Trove. C. It is a beach-cleaning robot that uses AI to find cigarette butts. D. During its first demo, BB picked up 20cigarette butts in 30 minutes. E. Though they're everywhere, people don't notice them because they're so small. |
