A
In this day and age, knowing exactly what and how much you’re eating is necessary. You’ve probably used a calorie calculator on your smartphones before. For example, a calculator will tell you the average number of calories in a hamburger. However, it acts only as a guide, and it can’t tell you exactly how many calories are in the hamburger at your favorite fast food joint（快餐店）. Now Panasonic’s new device, CaloRieco, can actually give you accurate information on exactly what is on your plate in a few seconds.
Showcased at the CEATEC 2017 tech show, CaloRieco is a high-tech device that uses light reflection to offer accurate calorie information so as to determine the nutritional values of any food. All you have to do is place your plate in the box-shaped device and wait between 10 and 20 seconds for it to analyze all the food there.

Once it’s done analyzing the various foods in your meal, CaloRieco displays the number of calories, as well as the nutritional content on an LED display. According to Panasonic, the device is able to recognize the vast majority of foods, except soups and similar food. CaloRieco can also connect to your smartphone via an app, and send all the data about analyzed foods to your Personal Digital Assistant, so you can access it whenever you need.
Panasonic said that its invention is aimed at people going on a diet and diabetes（糖尿病） sufferers, both of whom make up a sizable market. Unfortunately, you’ll have to wait a bit longer to get your hands on your very own CaloRieco, as the device presented at CEATEC is just a model. It’s scheduled to hit the market sometime in the next few years, but the price remains a mystery. 21. What’s special about CaloRieco?
A. It can be linked to our smartphones. B. It can act as a guide on healthy food. C. It can tell you the average calories in food. D. It can provide accurate information on food. 22. What’s the disadvantage of CaloRieco?
A. It is difficult to operate. B. It couldn’t be used outdoors. C. It cannot work without an app. D. It functions poorly with liquid food. 23. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. We can get CaloRieco at a cheap price. B. CaloRieco is not suitable for healthy people. C. CaloRieco is not available to consumers at present. D. The invention of CaloRieco is proved to be a success.

Alida Monaco doesn’t spend her summers doing the usual teenage work, like working at the mall. Instead, she’s studying.
It used to be that a summer job was considered a teenage thing. Today, Monaco, who has never had a summer job, is part of growing trend（趋势） teenagers concentrating on their studies, even during the summer. That’s down from 72% of Americans aged 16 to 19 who worked in July of 1978, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Increased competition, older workers returning to the workforce and weak economic growth are all contributing to the decline of teenagers in the workforce. But as schoolwork grows increasingly intense and homework eats up more time, data suggest the biggest reason why some

teens won’t be working this summer is that they simply don’t have time.
For college-bound teens, some teachers even advise students not to waste time on a summer job. “Some of my students only have about six weeks off in the summer,” said Shannon Reed, a lecturer at the University of Pittsburgh and a former high school English teacher. “I could never advise that they get jobs during that short break. They should rest.”
Young people who don’t work may miss out on valuable skills that they’ll need later in life. Early work experiences teach reliability, financial intelligence, self-control and help people learn to deal with adult situations. But Monaco, who plans to attend Harvard, isn’t fazed by her lack of work experience. “Maybe I have missed out on a couple of life skills,” she said. “But I don’t think it will harm me in any way.”
24. What is the trend of American teenagers?
A. They are becoming lazy.
B. They are becoming keen on doing holiday jobs. C. They are focusing more on studies than on jobs. D. They are becoming particular about holiday jobs. 25. What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A. The fierce competition teenagers face. B. The structure of America’s workforce. C. The reasons for teenagers quitting work. D. The effects of America’s economic decline. 26. What’s Shannon Reed’s attitude towards the new trend?
A. Uncaring
B. Favorable
C. Worried
D. Doubtful
27. What does the underlined word “fazed” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Motivated
B. Helped
C. Bothered
D. Confused
C
Dear Mr. Jones,
I expect you may be slightly surprised to receive a letter from someone living as near as your next-door neighbor; but I have to raise a subject that it will be easier for me to discuss in writing.
You may have noticed that I have a line of apple trees running alongside the fence that separates our two gardens. You may also have taken pleasure in the frequent sight of your two children sitting on your lawn directly by the fence. And you may also have noticed that my apple trees, so to speak, bend over the fence and seem to look down at your children with interest.
It is only natural that your children should sometimes seem to return that interest. And it is not only natural, but, I acknowledge, quite legal, for them occasionally to show that interest by
