26、Coolest Bookstores in the World

Where did you buy your last book? Chances are that you bought it on the Internet. But if you did, you missed the remarkable experience of browsing in a real bookstore. These days bookstores offer lots of great books and plenty more.

Eslite Dunnan Store

Time magazine once named Eslite Dunnan Store in Taiwan province, China "Asia's best bookstore". One visit to the store tells you why. The store, spread across five floors, offers a combination of restaurants, music and over 200,000 books. With its comfortable reading spots, visitors sometimes say it's like a library. Others have called it the "7-Eleven of bookstores" because it's open 24 hours a day.

Book Garden

The world's biggest bookstore is Tehran, Iran's Book Garden with 700,000 square feet of space. In addition to restaurants and a theater, the Book Garden features a park on the roof. Visitors can pick up one of 1,000 free books to read while enjoying the fresh air and sunshine from the Book Garden's rooftop park.

Saraiva Bookstore

Rio de Janeiro's Saraiva Bookstore might be the world's most colorful bookstore. The visible upper level is lined with books arranged by their colors. This rainbow effect provides a color welcoming for shoppers as they arrive. A rainbow path also leads young readers into the children's section.

Liberia Acqua Alta

Venice, Italy, is a city surrounded with water. Its books are displayed in all things related to water such as boats, bathtubs to protect them when the shop floods during high tide. It overlooks one of Venice's many canals, and the smell of old books fills the air.

27、In the story of the three little pigs, the one who built his house of straw did not do well; the big bad wolf blew it down. But builder Michael Furbish, who made his own home from bales (捆) of straw, and an elementary school from the same material, says that in reality straw houses are not only strong, but also good for the environment. Straw—the stalks (杆，茎) of plants like wheat, oats, and barley—is considered a waste material and is commonly used on farms as animal bedding. But more and more people are discovering that straw baled into rectangular blocks is an excellent and inexpensive building material.

There are two ways to make a straw-bale structure. You can build load-bearing walls with them, which means the walls support the roof. Or you can build a post-and-beam wooden frame that supports the roof and fill in the walls with the bales. Either way, the walls are there to stay. And they provide great insulation (绝缘), helping keep straw houses in cold climates warm in winter and those built in hot places like the desert cool in summer. Straw is considered a “green” building material because it is a renewable resource: a whole new crop can be grown and harvested every year, easily “renewing” the supply. Also, planting and harvesting straw uses relatively little energy. “Most other building materials require a lot of energy to be produced,” explains Furbish. “With straw-bale construction, you are getting a building product without using much energy at all.”

Furbish used about 900 straw bales in his family’s two-story, three-bedroom house. His company also provided straw-bale walls for the Friends Community School of College Park in Maryland. That project used about 4, 000 bales. When asked if there are any problems with living in a straw house, like mice nibbling (咬，啃). On the walls, Furbish points out that the straw is completely covered with plaster and stucco (灰泥). Besides, he has a couple of cats on mouse watch, just in case. “It would be hard to find a wall system that will wear better than straw,” he says. The big bad wolf is just out of luck.

【1】The author wrote the passage in order to_________.

A．prove that the tale of the three pigs and the wolf is wrong

B．teach readers how to build straw houses

C．introduce an environmentally-friendly building material

D．advertise Furbish’s special houses

【2】What do we learn about straw houses from the passage?

A．It costs little to make such special houses.

B．The outsides of the houses are green.

C．They are mostly built in the desert.

D．Plaster and stucco help make the houses strong.

【3】The writer mentions the wolf at the beginning and the end of this passage to suggest_________.

A．straw houses are in fact nice and strong

B．the big bad wolf can’t blow straw houses down

C．the big bad wolf is very unlucky

D．people in straw houses needn't worry about wolves

【4】We can infer from the passage that_________.

A．living in a straw house, one has to keep several cats

B．the walls of a straw house help keep heat inside in cold climates

C．it is best to build a straw house at harvest time

D．we need 900 straw bales to build one straw house

28、"The firefighters of Paris told me they are very hopeful about saving the northern tower, " French Junior Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said on Twitter late Monday, adding that the firefighting efforts would continue for hours.

The Notre Dame Cathedral(巴黎圣母院)， one of the most famous landmarks in the French capital， was engulfed in flames Monday evening as a catastrophic fire tore through the historic structure， collapsing its spire as fire officials raced to save the monument from total destruction.

Video and photos posted on social media showed flames engulfing the cathedral, thus both the ceiling and the 90-meter spire came crashing down. The fire spread to one of the cathedral's towers, but French officials said late Monday that firefighters were optimistic they could save both towers.

French President Emmanuel Macron said a national fundraising campaign would be launched on Tuesday and called on the world's "greatest talents" to assist in the effort. "We will rebuild, Macron told reporters. "We will rebuild Notre Dame because this is what the French expect, because this is what our history deserves.

Officials said there were no deaths in the fire. Jean-Claude Gallet, chief of the Parisian fire department, said one firefighter was injured while responding to the flame. Two-thirds of the cathedral's roof was destroyed, Gal let said. The fire broke out just before p. m. minutes after the cathedral, which has been partly rebuilt, closed to the public. Around 30 000 people visit the church daily.

Despite its long history and many treasures the Cathedral needed the help of a writer to become truly famous. Victor Hugo's 1831 novel, The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, presented the building to a wide audience of readers. The book's ugly lead character, Quasimodo, serves as a symbol for Paris forgotten Gothic architecture. Hugo wrote the book to remind people of it, with hope they would work to protect the beautiful old buildings of Paris. The loss of cultural relics will never come again if they are lost only once. This is a painful loss of world civilization.

【1】The following issues are wrongly stated in the text except________________.

A．the Notre Dame Cathedral was totally destroyed

B．firefighters were pessimistic because they couldn't save both towers

C．a national fundraising campaign would be launched to rebuild the cathedral

D．the Cathedral became truly famous for its long history and many treasures

【2】What does the underlined word" engulfed" in Paragraph 2 mean?

A．Flooded.

B．Swallowed.

C．Disappeared.

D．Constructed.

【3】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．A fire broke out in the Notre Dame Cathedral

B．The mystery of the Notre Dame Cathedral

C．A national fundraising campaign

D．The rebuilding of the Notre Dame Cathedral

29、Human memory is notoriously unreliable. Even people with the sharpest facial-recognition skills can only remember so much.

It’s tough to quantify how good a person is at remembering. No one really knows how many different faces someone can recall, for example, but various estimates tend to hover in the thousands—based on the number of acquaintances a person might have.

Machines aren’t limited this way. Give the right computer a massive database of faces, and it can process what it sees—then recognize a face it’s told to find—with remarkable speed and precision. This skill is what supports the enormous promise of facial-recognition software in the 21st century. It’s also what makes contemporary surveillance systems so scary.

The thing is, machines still have limitations when it comes to facial recognition. And scientists are only just beginning to understand what those constraints are. To begin to figure out how computers are struggling, researchers at the University of Washington created a massive database of faces—they call it MegaFace—and tested a variety of facial-recognition algorithms (算法) as they scaled up in complexity. The idea was to test the machines on a database that included up to 1 million different images of nearly 700,000 different people—and not just a large database featuring a relatively small number of different faces, more consistent with what’s been used in other research.

As the databases grew, machine accuracy dipped across the board. Algorithms that were right 95% of the time when they were dealing with a 13,000-image database, for example, were accurate about 70% of the time when confronted with 1 million images. That’s still pretty good, says one of the researchers, Ira Kemelmacher-Shlizerman. ”Much better than we expected,“ she said.

Machines also had difficulty adjusting for people who look a lot alike—either doppelgangers (长相极相似的人), whom the machine would have trouble identifying as two separate people, or the same person who appeared in different photos at different ages or in different lighting, whom the machine would incorrectly view as separate people.

“Once we scale up, algorithms must be sensitive to tiny changes in identities and at the same time invariant to lighting, pose, age,”Kemelmacher-Shlizerman said.

The trouble is, for many of the researchers who’d like to design systems to address these challenges, massive datasets for experimentation just don’t exist—at least, not in formats that are accessible to academic researchers. Training sets like the ones Google and Facebook have are private. There are no public databases that contain millions of faces. MegaFace’s creators say it’s the largest publicly available facial-recognition dataset out there.

“An ultimate face recognition algorithm should perform with billions of people in a dataset,” the researchers wrote.

【1】What does the passage say about machine accuracy?

A．It falls short of researchers’ expectations.

B．It improves with added computing power.

C．It varies greatly with different algorithms.

D．It decreases as the database size increases.

【2】What is said to be a shortcoming-of facial-recognition machines?

A．They cannot easily tell apart people with near-identical appearances.

B．They have difficulty identifying changes in facial expressions.

C．They are not sensitive to minute changes in people’s mood.

D．They have problems distinguishing people of the same age.

【3】What is the difficulty confronting researchers of facial-recognition machines?

A．No computer is yet able to handle huge datasets of human faces.

B．There do not exist public databases with sufficient face samples.

C．There are no appropriate algorithms to process the face samples.

D．They have trouble converting face datasets into the right format.

30、   Many people think that listening is a passive business. It is just the________ one. Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work. It is because they do not realize this, or because they are not________ to do the work, that most people do not listen well.

Listening well also requires total________ upon someone else. An essential part of listening well is the rule known as “bracketing”. Bracketing includes the temporary giving up or________ your own prejudices and desires, to experience as far as possible someone else’s world from the inside, stepping into his or her shoes. ________, since listening well involves bracketing, it also involves a temporary________ of the other person. Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will seem quite willing to________ up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener. True communication is under way and the energy required for listening well is so great that it can be________ only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth.

However, most of the time we________ this energy. Even if we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well, what we are usually doing is listening________. Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder, as we listen, how we can achieve certain________ results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us. Many of us are far more interested in talking than in listening, or we simply________ to listen to what we don’t want to hear.

It was not until toward the end of my doctor career that I had found the knowledge that  being truly listened to was frequently therapeutic (有疗效的) . In about a quarter of the patients I saw, ________ improvement was shown during the first few months of psychotherapy, before any of the________ of problems had been uncovered or explained. There were several reasons for this phenomenon, but chief among them, I believe, was the patient’s________ that he or she was being truly listened to, often for the first time in years, and for some, perhaps for the first time ever.
