Customer Review
By Niel T.Johnson
Affordable，great sound.I love added memory via the microSD Slot.If you want an iPod，just spend 6 times as much and you'll have one.
By Christopher Forte
Overall，for the money，this is a great buy.
The music functionality is everything that I would like - intuitive and easy to navigate.The only issue is that scrolling occasionally pauses for a second or two.Having FM and voice recording is a big plus，as is the easy drag-and-drop way of getting my MP3's on the device.The sound quality is quite good，especially through a proper sound system or a quality headset.
By Vito Paine
Good sound quality，Great price.I don't actually use the video on this device so I don't know how well that feature works，but I do store MP3's and photos there.One thing：I wish I had also gotten a screen protector laminate.My screen got scratched up recently.

2．A fellow speaker from California named Geri flew to Japan，in her favorite jeans and a casual jacket，to give her first speech.Fourteen hours later，four perfectly dressed Japanese gentlemen greeted her at Narita Airport.Smiling and bowing low，they handed her their business cards.With her bag in one hand，Geri took their cards with the other.She thanked them，glanced briefly at the cards，and put them into her jeans pocket quickly.
When the five of them arrived at the hotel，they invited Geri to tea in the lobby（大廳）.While sipping tea，the gentlemen presented her with a small gift which she eagerly opened.She was thrilled with the gift and shouted excitedly， "Oh，it's beautiful!"
At this point，the four Japanese gentlemen stood up and，bowing only very slightly，said "Sayonara" and left immediately.Poor Geri was left astonished.What did she do wrong？
Everything!Her jeans were the first gaffe.Even if you're coming off a bicycle in Japan，you do not meet clients（客人）casually dressed.The second mistake was Geri's handling of their business cards rudely.In Japan，the business card is one of the most important communicative tools.It is always presented and accepted respectfully with both hands.However，Geri put their cards away much too quickly.In Japan，people use business cards as a conversation starter.You chat about each other's cards and work and do not put theirs away until they gently and respectfully place yours in safekeeping.Putting it carelessly into her jeans pocket was the ultimate disrespect.
Then，the fourth horror of horrors was that Geri should not have opened the gift in front of her clients.In a land where saving face is critical，it would be embarrassing to discover the gift they gave was not as nice as the one they received.What is worse，Geri hadn't even given them a gift!
（1）In the four Japanese gentlemen's eyes，Geri took their cards.
A．excitedly
B．embarrassingly
C．politely
D．disrespectfully
（2）Why did the four Japanese gentlemen leave Geri suddenly？
A．Because they couldn't bear Geri's behavior any longer.
B．Because they had finished the task.
C．Because Geri had something more important to do.
D．Because Geri felt embarrassed.
（3）What does the underlined word "gaffe" in Paragraph 3 probably mean？
A．ignorance
B．sadness
C．mistake
D．carelessness
（4）The third mistake Geri made was that she.
A．used her own card as a conversation starter
B．took her clients' cards with one hand
C．kept her clients' cards in a wrong place
D．met her clients in jeans組卷：14引用：1難度：0.6 -
3．Roboticists at the University of California San Diego have developed an affordable，easy to use system to track the location of flexible surgical robots inside the human body.The system performs as well as current state of the art methods，but the whole system，including the robot，magnets and magnet localization setup，costs around ＄100.Many current methods also require exposure to radiation，while this system does not.
The system was developed by Tania Morimoto，a professor of mechanical engineering at the Jacobs School of Engineering at UC San Diego，and mechanical engineering Ph.D.student Connor Watson.
"Continuum medical robots work really well in highly constrained （受限的） environments inside the body，" Morimoto said. "But it becomes a lot harder to track their location and their shape inside the body." The researchers used existing magnet localization methods，which work very much like GPS，to develop a computer model that predicts the robot's location.
GPS satellites ping （發(fā)送） smartphones and based on how long it takes for the signal to arrive，the GPS receiver in the smartphone can determine where the cell phone is.Similarly，researchers know how strong the magnetic field should be around the magnet placed in the robot.They rely on four sensors that are carefully spaced around the area where the robot operates to measure the magnetic field strength.Based on how strong the field is，they are able to determine where the tip of the robot is.
Morimoto and Watson went a step further.They then trained a neural network to learn the difference between what the sensors were reading and what the model said the sensors should be reading.As a result，they improved localization accuracy to track the tip of the robot. "Ideally we are hoping that our localization tools can help improve these kinds of growing robot technologies.We do want to push this research forward so that we can test our system in a clinical setting and eventually translate it into clinical use，" Morimoto said.
（1）What be learnt about the system according to the text？
A．It's complex.
B．It's low-cost.
C．It's delicate.
D．It's radioactive.
（2）What is Paragraph 4 mainly about？
A．The system's working principle.
B．The function of GPS satellites.
C．The reason for inventing the system.
D．The necessity of inventing the system.
（3）What do Morimoto and Watson expect of the system？
A．It'll be environmentally-friendly.
B．It'll be sold on the Internet soon.
C．I'll be easy for us to operate.
D．It'll be tested with real patients.
（4）Where is this text most likely from？
A．A diary.
B．A guidebook.
C．A magazine.
D．A novel.組卷：11引用：1難度：0.7

"Okay，" said our teacher，Mrs.Woodland："It's time for the gift exchange." I was actually a little excited.I knew what a lot of the girls had brought，and any of those gifts would be great，especially my best friend Sara's.She had made some candy and put it in this super cute bear mug（馬克杯）.
Mrs.Woodland had us put our gifts on our classroom table.Then we opened the gifts like a game.We each drew numbers and we got to the table and chose a wrapped（包裝好的）gift when our number was called.But we didn't necessarily have to.We could take a gift from somebody else that had already had their number called-if we thought we'd like that gift better than the wrapped ones.
When it was my turn，I didn't take a wrapped gift from the table.And I didn't take Sara's either though I really wanted to.I took the perfume（香水）Megan had brought instead.I didn't have enough money to get Mom something special，but the perfume was really nice.She might really like it.
I was busy thinking about the perfume and whether Mom would like it or not when there was a big commotion（嘈雜）.It had been Hannah's turn to choose.She was the last one.And unsurprisingly，she didn't go for the last wrapped gift on the table.Instead，she'd taken Sara's gift from Lauren.Well，that meant Lauren had to take the wrapped gift.She looked a little upset when she got to the table.Everyone knew the last gift was from Kali.That was why no one had chosen it.Kali was really poor.And she always brought gifts that no one ever wanted.This time，she brought a pair of old-fashioned crocheted potholders（編織的防燙套墊）！
"I don't want these，" Lauren whined（哀怨）."I want my candy back."
"No way，" Hannah protested，keeping the mug of chocolate out of Lauren's reach.
"Then I want Megan's perfume." Lauren came over to take my perfume. "Come on，Melanie，trade with me."
Paragraph 1：
Mrs.Woodland advised me to trade with Lauren since I had always been kind.__________.
Paragraph 2：
"Here，" I said to my mom after I got home，handing her the potholders. "They are an early New Year gift."__________.組卷：8引用：1難度：0.5
