26、 Recalling their college days,friends Miguel Amaro,Ben Grech and Mariano Kostelec all say that their biggest problem was finding somewhere to live in the first place.
As an international student from Argentina,Mariano had to pay 12 months’ rent in advance to get his place in London.Dutchman Miguel booked some super-expensive residence in Nottingham because he didn’t know any better.Ben from the UK was looking around the streets of Nottingham knocking on doors trying to find a place.
A year after graduating from their own separate universities,the three men realized that there was a business opportunity.They came up with a plan to create an online marketplace matching students with accommodation(住处)。So in 2011 the three started work on their business and website Uniplaces.
They invested around E50,000.Later that year they won first round funding of 200,0000 euros led by the founder of UK property website Zoopla.
From there it was down to business,getting a permanent office in Lisbon,Portugal and persuading landlords(房东)to join the site and checking properties(房产)。The Uniplaces website was then officially launched in 2013,with an initial 50 properties in the Portuguese capital listed on the site.
Mariano,28,says,”We picked Lisbon as our first city as it totally made sense to stay here It is a low cost,good location with access to great talent such as good engineers,and people with excellent language skills,which is great when dealing with so many international students.”
Students using Uniplaces pay one month’s rent in advance via the website,and the sum goes through to the landlord 24 hours after they move in.I hereafter they pay directly to the landlord.Uniplaces takes a service fee of 20%-25%of the student’s first month’s rent
Since its launch,three million nights have been booked through the platform.which currently lists over 40,000 properties.The company has now employed 132 employees
Incomes grew four times in 2016 compared to the previous year.But it hasn’t been all smooth for the three entrepreneurs(创业者)。
【1】What is the possible relationship among the three people?
A.Classmates.
B.Roommates.
C.Competitors.
D.Partners.
【2】The website Uniplaces is intended to

27、Everybody knows the importance of drinking enough water.As we all know, drinking water benefits your skin, muscles and organs.【1】
The major reason for that is related to human biological needs.When you're a baby, you're 75 percent water.Then, as the years get higher, you get drier.【2】 It helps you lose weight, according to a study from the University of Birmingham.
The researchers found that drinking 500 ml of water thirty minutes before a meal helped participants lose 10 more pounds than those who did not.【3】 All participants were advised to improve their diet and physical activity levels.84 overweight adults were involved.Among them 41 were told to “preload” with water, while 43 were told to control their water intake before eating.After 12 weeks, the participants instructed to “preload” with water lost 2.87 pounds more than those in the control group on average.In addition, the participants preloading with water before each of their three main meals every day lost 9.48 pounds over the 12 weeks.【4】
Dr.Helen Parretti, a lecturer at the University of Birmingham, had this to say of the study: 【5】Just drinking 500 ml of water, three times a day, before your main meals may help reduce your weight...and this could be an easy way for weight loss. Furthermore, it can be significant for an individual to lose extra weight, making a potential contribution to public health.
A.Another reason to drink water is right here.
B.The study began with a weight management consultation.
C.The beauty of these findings is that losing weight is simple.
D.But not everyone can get access to tap water in some areas.
E.It also helps prevent certain diseases and improve your mood.
F.In contrast, those preloading once a day or never, lost just 1.76 pounds.
G.So kids should drink more water instead of coke to keep healthy.
28、 Many Americans are busy preparing lists of what to give friends or loved ones. This season, people will be able to buy a cargo-carrying(载货)robot that follows them around like a dog. But it is unclear if the robot will be a popular gift.
Large companies like Amazon, FedEx and Ford have already been experimenting with sending delivery robots to homes across the United States. Now an Italian company is offering robots directly to consumers(顾客). The new robot, called "the Gita", weighs about 23 kilograms and costs $ 3,250.
The robot's creators had short trips in mind when they designed it. "The Gita" is a "hands-free carrier" that can hold fruits, vegetables and other things as it follows its owner down the street. "The Gita" does not require use of a telephone;it also does not use GPS technology or facial recognition.
Whether the robot will be a success is not yet clear. Tech experts say "the Gita" may fail. They hope the company finds more purposes to contribute to its success. Examples include carrying tools around hospitals, factory floors or places where products are stored. The robots can carry up to 9 kilograms. So far, the best places to find the company's six-wheeled robot are US colleges:The University of Houston and the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Sadie Garcia is a student at the University of Houston. "I love them. I think they're so cute," she said, as one of the machines arrived carrying a sandwich for her in the dining hall. Garcia said she was so cold that she did not want to leave her room. Starship co-founder Ahti Heinla said his company once thought about selling the machines directly to consumers. But the business dropped the idea after discovering it would have to sell them for more than $ 3,000 each.
【1】What is "the Gita" designed to do?
A.Fight with other robots. B.Buy things for its owner.
C.Carry things for its owner. D.Help college students do homework.
【2】What do tech experts expect the company to do for "the Gita"?
A.Keep advertising it. B.Find more uses for it.
C.Improve its reaction rate. D.Encourage hospitals to use it.
【3】What stops "the Gita" from being sold directly to consumers?
A.The high price. B.The low quality.
C.The limited number. D.The poor performance.
【4】Where is this text most likely from?
A.A detective story. B.A science magazine.
C.A travel guide. D.A life diary.
29、 When you were a child you had a pure (纯洁的) mind, which was free from worries and anxieties. As time passed, you were influenced by several crises (危机). 【1】 Below are some techniques which can help you keep a peaceful mind:
Mind your own business.
Focusing on things which are not related in negativity (消极). It will disturb your mental peace. So next time an unnecessary thought comes to your mind, think about whether this is really something you should be worrying about. 【2】
Surround yourself with positive people.
【3】 When someone is negative, he spreads negativity and you get affected. Always staying with such people will have long-term influence on your character. So think about your company (同伴).
【4】
Remember the great saying: Small minds discuss people; average minds discuss events; higher minds discuss ideas and great minds act in silent. Don’t allow your brain to compare yourself to others. Don’t be jealous (嫉妒的). This harms your soul and takes away your mental peace.
Ignore (忽略) your thoughts about being unlucky.
Bad luck happens to everyone. Time whether good or bad, passes quickly. 【5】 Believe in the power of now. Believe in your skills. Work hard and you will get what you feel you’re worthy of.
