or that the camera on your phone could tell you whats wrong with your tv remote control? the experts at geek squad (geelsquad.co.uk) have made a gadget (小机件) rescue guide. so, lets take a look at some of their useful advice. how to get more juice out of your phone batterif your battery goes dead but you need to get a number or send one last text, try warming it up. that may give you a tiny bit of power. take the battery from the phone and rub it between your hands. or warm it under your arm for a few minutes. then try to start the phone but use it quickly. what to do if your gadget gets wetfirst, try drying it out with a vacuum cleaner (真空吸尘器). if a vacuum cleaner isnt at hand, fill a pot or bowl with uncooked rice and put your wet gadget inside. the dry, uncooked rice will absorb all the water and, after a few hours, you should be able to use the gadget. dont forget to remove the battery and sim card before you dry it. what to do if your tv remote control stops workingif replacing the batteries doesnt work, get the camera function up on your phone and point the remote at the lens (镜头). when you press a button on the remote, if it is working, the glass bobble (小球) at the front of the remote will light up when you look at it on the screen of your phone. this is because the screen on a phone or digital camera picks up infrared rays (红外线), even though your eyes dont. if the glass bobble doesnt light up, the remote is broken. if it does, the receiving device (装置) is broken.【小题1】if your cell phone falls into a sink, you can _.a. warm it up under your armb. remove the battery after you dry itc. put it into the uncooked riced. press it with both of your hands【小题2】why can a phone be used to prove the tv remote control works well? because it can _.a. improve the tv remote controlb. receive infrared rayc. picture the tv remote controld. reflect infrared ray【小题3】in which section of a newspaper can we possibly read this text?a. lifeb. entertainmentc. financed. culture【小题4】the purpose of this passage is to give people _.a. personal opinionsb. professional guidesc. necessary warningsd. practical tipscchinas new term, tuhao, may be in next years oxford english dictionary. the word caught the attention of the dictionarys editing team after bbcs recent program on influential chinese words. “if its influence continues, it is very likely to appear on our updated list of words,” said julie kleeman, project manager with the editing team.in chinese tu means uncouth (笨拙的) and hao means rich. it has traditionally been referred to rich people who throw their weight around in chinas countryside. the word became more popular in september with the launch of apples new gold-colored iphone, which is loved by chinas rich people. the color became known as “tuhao gold.” the word is now also used by the online community to refer to people who have the cash but lack the class to go with it. kleeman also mentioned two other chinese words dama and hukou which may also make it into the dictionary.people can have an intuitive (直观的) grasp of the meanings if they see pinyin, kleeman said, adding that people avoid using an english word to keep the original meaning.“we have nearly 120 chinese-linked words now in oxford english dictionary,” she said. some of them are: guanxi, which means “connection”; taikonaut, a mix of taikong, meaning outer space, and astronaut.the new words will be first uploaded on the official website before the dictionaries arrive. the online version is also renewed every three months. “it at least broke our old rules. it used to take 10 years to include a new word but now we keep the pace with the time,” according to a statement from ex-chief-editor john simpson.【小题1】which of the following statements is true according to the text?a. dama and hukou have made it into oxford english dictionary.b. some influential chinese words appeared on one of bbcs recent programs.c. tuhao refers to people who have both the cash and the class.d. john simpson thinks that it is not good to break old rules.【小题2】what does the underlined part in paragraph 2 mean?a. give orders to others. b. get ready to help others.c. go on a diet. d. put on weight.【小题3】tuhao becomes more popular in september partly because _.a. it is very likely to appear in oxford english dictionaryb. it is often used by the online communityc. people use chinese pinyin to keep the original meaningd. apple launched a new gold-colored iphone【小题4】the main idea of the text is that _.a. tuhao may end up in oxford english dictionaryb. sometimes pinyin makes chinese words better understoodc. tuhao has a new meaning at the present timed. oxford english dictionary includes new words faster than beforedno one gets through life without experiencing many disappointments. strangely, though, most people seem unprepared for disappointment and react to it in negative ways. they feel depressed or try to escape from their troubles instead of using disappointment as an opportunity for growth.one negative reaction to disappointment is depression. a woman trying to win a promotion, for example, works hard for over a year in her department. helen is so sure she will get the promotion. however, the boss names one of helens co-workers for the spot. deeply depressed, helen loses her enthusiasm for her job and can barely force herself to show up every day. helen tells herself that she is a failure and that doing a good job just isnt worth the work.another negative reaction to disappointment is the desire to escape. kevin fails to get into the college his brother is attending, the college that was the focus of all his dreams, and decides to escape his disappointment. why worry about college at all? instead, he covers up his real feelings by giving up on his school-work and getting completely involved with friends, parties, and “good times”.the positive way to react to disappointment is to use it as a chance for growth. this isnt easy, but its the only useful way to deal with an inevitable part of life. helen, the woman who was not promoted, could have handled her disappointment by looking at otheroptions. if her boss did not recognize her talent and hard work, perhaps she could transfer to another department. or she could ask the boss how to improve her performance so that she could prepare for the next promotion. kevin, the boy who didnt get into the college of his choice, should look into other schools. going to another college may encourage him to be his own person, step out of his brothers shadow, and realize that being turned down by one college isnt a final judgment on his abili
