These years, we like taking our mobiles to a dinner table. This happens a lot,
especially when we eat out. Once a dish comes, instead of lifting our Chopsticks
(筷子), we take out our mobiles and click. Later, we post the photos onto Weibo
or WeChat, waiting to be “liked”. Then we check our mobiles from time to time
during the meal, to see how many “liked” we can get.
A recent study shows that what we are used to doing is not so good. Spending time taking photos of food makes the food less pleasant. According to a research, more photos you take, the less delicious the food seems to you. So, why not stop taking photos and just enjoy the food in front of you?
On the other hand, after posting the photos onto the Internet, one will not be able to control (控制) himself and check his mobile many times. “Does everyone like my photos? I hope a lot of people like them!” It seems that your mobile secretly calls your name all the time, even when you are with real people.
So, next time you go out to have dinner with your family or friends, how about not taking photos of food? Let the food be delicious as it is and share your life with people around you. Trust me, it will be a wonderful time.
44. According to the passage, what happens a lot at the dinner table these years?
A. People talk about how to cook delicious food.
B. People take photos of delicious food and post them.
C. People chat with their friends on WeChat.
D. People take photos of the friends eating with them.
45. People check their mobiles often after posting photos onto the Internet because .
A. they want to make the food seem more delicious
B. they have to share it with people around them
C. they hope a lot of people will like their photos
D. they want to have a wonderful time eating
46. What does the writer mainly want to tell us by writing this passage?
A. It's not good to play with our mobiles at a dinner table.
B. It's difficult to make our food delicious.
C. It's interesting to take photos of delicious food.
D. It's healthier to eat at home than eat out.

Matty Sallin, 34, was a student at New York University. He got interesting homework in electronic(电子的) class and he decided to invent an alarm clock.
“Everybody has to stand it every day and it is really terrible!” he says. He asked different people how they would like to be woken up instead of a noisy alarm. A lot of them said, “The smell of bacon（培根肉）.”
So Sallin and his two classmates invented a new kind of alarm clock: a wooden box with a pig face and a digital clock that uses the smell of cooking bacon to wake someone up.
“What you do is to put some bacon in the night before and set the alarm,” says Sallin. “And if you set the alarm for 8:00, it will turn on at 7:50 and slowly cook for ten minutes under the halogen bulbs(坞卤灯). Then the bulbs turn off and a fan blows the smell out through the nose of the pig.” “So instead of an alarm, you get a bacon smell awake,” Sallin also says, “Then you can open the door on the side and pull the bacon out and eat it.”
When Sallin was a kid, he spent a lot of time making drawings of inventions. “I wanted to make a lift in my back yard and a special tree house,” he says.“But I never really thought I could be called an inventor!” People continue to hear about his invention and email him every day asking where they can buy his alarm clock.
47. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to .
A. homework B. technology C. a new clock D. a noisy alarm clock
48. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. It's dangerous to use Sallin's new invention.
B. Sallin refused to spend much time on inventions.
C. People are interested in Sallin's new invention.
D. Students at New York University are tired of homework.
49. What is the best title of this passage?
A. Interesting Homework B. A Special “Smell” Clock
C. A Great Inventor D. The Smell of Bacon D
One day Willie and his grandfather took me to a pretty house with a lawn at

sure he knew me and that he was Joe Green, and I was glad to see him again. I put my nose up to him, to say that we were friends. He. looked very pleased.
“My old Beauty! I wish John Manly were here to see you.”

These years, we like taking our mobiles to a dinner table. This happens a lot,
especially when we eat out. Once a dish comes, instead of lifting our Chopsticks
(筷子), we take out our mobiles and click. Later, we post the photos onto Weibo
or WeChat, waiting to be “liked”. Then we check our mobiles from time to time
during the meal, to see how many “liked” we can get.
A recent study shows that what we are used to doing is not so good. Spending time taking photos of food makes the food less pleasant. According to a research, more photos you take, the less delicious the food seems to you. So, why not stop taking photos and just enjoy the food in front of you?
On the other hand, after posting the photos onto the Internet, one will not be able to control (控制) himself and check his mobile many times. “Does everyone like my photos? I hope a lot of people like them!” It seems that your mobile secretly calls your name all the time, even when you are with real people.
So, next time you go out to have dinner with your family or friends, how about not taking photos of food? Let the food be delicious as it is and share your life with people around you. Trust me, it will be a wonderful time.

Matty Sallin, 34, was a student at New York University. He got interesting homework in electronic(电子的) class and he decided to invent an alarm clock.
“Everybody has to stand it every day and it is really terrible!” he says. He asked different people how they would like to be woken up instead of a noisy alarm. A lot of them said, “The smell of bacon（培根肉）.”
So Sallin and his two classmates invented a new kind of alarm clock: a wooden box with a pig face and a digital clock that uses the smell of cooking bacon to wake someone up.
“What you do is to put some bacon in the night before and set the alarm,” says Sallin. “And if you set the alarm for 8:00, it will turn on at 7:50 and slowly cook for ten minutes under the halogen bulbs(坞卤灯). Then the bulbs turn off and a fan blows the smell out through the nose of the pig.” “So instead of an alarm, you get a bacon smell awake,” Sallin also says, “Then you can open the door on the side and pull the bacon out and eat it.”
When Sallin was a kid, he spent a lot of time making drawings of inventions. “I wanted to make a lift in my back yard and a special tree house,” he says.“But I never really thought I could be called an inventor!” People continue to hear about his invention and email him every day asking where they can buy his alarm clock.
