It was shocking to me that he was described as an angry, uncontrollable and evil(道德败坏的)boy. How could such a little boy, after being in school only one year, be considered evil?Over the next several months, I came to know Chip well enough to see that he was neither evil nor uncontrollable.But, one day, Chip threw a chair at his teacher and was sent to my office. I asked him what made him do this. He replied that his teacher hated him. He felt there was no way to ever get her to like him. I asked him if he would tell his teacher this. He nodded, and we called her into my office.When the teacher came, . He then said that he knew he was a very, very bad boy, and he didnt think anyone could ever like him. His teacher listened to him with heartfelt compassion. Then she gave him a big warm hug, telling him she didnt hate him at all and, actually, she cared very much about him. Only sometimes Chips behaviour really scared her. It was clear to both Chip and me that she really meant it.I put my left arm on his shoulders and the right hand on his heart. I told him how wonderful and lovely I saw him to be. I praised how special and brave he was to express his hurt feelings.As I was speaking to him, his whole body came to rest on my right hand next to his heart. It was a moment in time unlike anything I had experienced before. From then on, Im pleased to see his behaviour improved through the rest of school years.A childs mind is clear and sensitive(敏感的). He receives whatever others say without protection. It is as easy to consider someone hopeless as it is to consider him able in his own special way.（1）The first paragraph mainly tells us . A . Chip was very popular at schoolB . the teacher didnt care about Chip at allC .

However, not all the persons know that noise is also a kind of pollution, and that is harmful to human, too.People who work and live under noisy conditions usually become deaf(聋的). Today, however, scientists believe that 10 percent (百分比) of workers in Britain are being deafened by the noise where they work. Many of the workers who print newspapers and books, and who weave(织) cloth become deaf. Quite a few people living near airports also become deaf. Recently(近来) it was discovered that many teenagers in America could hear no better than 65-year-old people, for these young people like to listen to pop music and most of pop music is a kind of noise. Besides(除此之外), noise produced by jet planes or machines will make peoples life difficult and unpleasant, or even make people ill or even drive them mad.Nowadays the government in many countries have made laws to reduce or control(控制) noise and make it less than 85 decibels(分贝).

If you ever have put on a VR headset, you would know exactly what I am talking about. From an experiential view we do understand the idea, but what about the technical backend that goes into making it all possible? In this blog, we will understand the technology behind virtual reality and the basic terms about the development of a virtual ecosystem for a VR headset.The primary subject of virtual reality is simulating (模拟)the vision. Every headset is to perfect their method to create an immersive (浸人式)3D environment. Each VR headset puts up a screen or two in front of eyes, keeping the user away from any interaction with the real world. Two autofocus lenses (自动对焦镜片)are generally placed between the screen and the eyes that change based on eye movement and positioning. The vision appears on the screen either by using a mobile phone or HDMI line connected to a PC.To create a truly immersive virtual reality, there are certain requirements a frame rate (帧 率)of at least 60 fps, a refresh rate and at least 100degree field of view (though 180 degrees is perfect). If either of these doesnt work according to the standards, the user will experience too big of a time difference between their actions and the response from the screen. We need the response to be less than 20 ms (1/1000 second) to fool the brain which is achieved by joining all the above in the right proportion (比例).Another matter that needs to be looked at here is to prevent netsickness because of the differences between the frame rate and refresh rate.Apart from the image, there are certain other things that go into creating an immersive VR experience, holding the users attention completely in the virtual environment. For example, sound effects, when put with the image, can create very attractive effects. By using a headphone and 3D sound effects, the user can totally believe in the virtual environment. While perfecting sound effects, proper care needs to be taken about the consistency (一致)between the pictures and the sound. If you start playing frightening music in the background of a happy scene, it will just put the user off.In future, we will see rapid progress in creating a truly immersive digital experience. With leading players like Google, Microsoft, Oculus, and HTC making great efforts to improve the capabilities (性能),we are not far from achieving a virtual reality that would feel so much better than the real world. If you would like to develop a VR app for your business, then feel free to get in touch. With over 10 years of experience in mobile technologies, we can make every dream a reality.（1）A VR headset helps the user . A . create the vision on the screenB . understand the technical backendC . better experience a 3D environmentD . keep interaction with the real world（2）The words put the user off in Paragraph 4 probably mean . A . take the users attention awayB . get the user interestedC . hold the users imagination backD . help the user understand（3）What is the main purpose of writing this passage？ A . To give a short introduction of VR.B . To do business with certain readersC . To predict the bright future of VR.D . To share experiences with readers（4）What can we learn from the passage？ A . The lower degree field of view, the better images.B . Sound effects are more important than the image for VR.C . Some big companies may create a VR better than the real world soon.D . The brain can tell the time difference when the response is more than 20ms.20. （10分）阅读理解 Toothpaste does more than just keep our teeth bright and white. It can be used wisely in many other ways.

Just as you would have to practice basketball to be a better player, you also have to practice listening. How to listen in school? _One of the things you need to do is to make sure that your mind doesnt wander (漫游). Its easy to start thinking about other things, especially when youre not interested in the subject. _Next, listen for the main ideas. If you want to catch every little piece of information, youll feel tired and bored._Not only does this show respect(尊敬) to the teacher, it also helps prevent your mind from wandering. _Or it could just be someone talking to their neighbors who shouldnt be. It can even be some birds outside the classroom window, or a group of kids who are talking loudly as they pass the door to your room.Finally, you need to take notes because you will not remember everything the teacher sai
