Califrnia researchers develped a glve that can translate American Sign Language (ASL) int English in real time thrugh an app n yur smartphne.
Unlike its past cunterparts, the new glve embedded with electrnic sensrs is lightweight, inexpensive and lng-lasting. The device culd help remve cmmunicatin barriers between signers and nn-signers. Hpefully, this may pen up an easy way fr peple wh use sign language t cmmunicate directly with nn-signers withut needing smene else t translate fr them. The team wrked with fur peple wh are deaf and use ASL and had them repeat gestures up t 15 times while wearing the glve-like device, simultaneusly teaching a machine hw t recgnize them.
The glve has thin, stretchable sensrs made frm "electrically cnducting yarns" that run up each finger and cnvert the mvements int signals. These signals are sent t a "dllar-cin-sized" circuit bard placed n the persn's wrist which then wireless v transfers them ver t-a smartphne.
The system was able t recgnize 660 hand mtins and finger placements that stand fr each letter in the English alphabet, different phrases and each number. The algrithm (计算程序) recgnized the crrect signs abut 99% f the time, and in less than ne secnd-r abut a tne wrd per secnd. The researchers als placed sensrs in between the participants eyebrws and n the sides f their muths t "capture facial expressins that are a part f ASL". The same exact hand-shape and mvement can ttally change meaning because f the facial expressin that is used t accmpany it. Take the wrd MUCH. The degree f hw much can ttally be determined by the facial expressin alne while the sign stays the same.
Researchers said the glve wuld need t learn mre vcabulary and be able t translate signs faster in rder t get a cmmercial versin f it in stres.
28. What des the underlined wrd "embedded" in paragraph 2 prbably mean?
A. cmpared.B. cnnected.C. cmmunicated.D. ccupied.
29 What des Paragraph 3 mainly talk abut cncerning the new glve?
A. Its reliability.B. Its cmpnents.
C. Its wrking principle.D. Its brad applicatins.
30. Hw d researchers imprve the glve's crrectness f recgnitin?
A. By cnnecting it t smart phnes.
B. By catching infrmatin frm mre aspects.
C. By lengthening the time f catching gestures.
D. By inputting mre letters and wrds in English.
31. What will researchers d with the glve in the future?
A. Make it a best seller.B. Update its utlk.
C. Extend its service life.D. Imprve its perfrmance.

Tired f standing in line? Wait a bit lnger and yu may never have t again. Amazn has pened 24 f its Amazn G stres which use cameras and artificial intelligence (AI) t see what yu've taken ff shelves and charge yu as yu walk ut.
Sme cmpanies are clsely cpying Amazn's apprach t using Al-pwered cameras fixed in ceilings. But thers are trying an entirely different way t skip the checkut: smart shpping carts. These cmpanies have added cameras and sensrs t the carts, and are using AI t tell what yu've put in them. Custmers pay by entering a credit card, r thrugh an nline payment system. When a custmer exits the stre, a green light n the shpping cart shws that their rder is cmplete, and they're charged.
The cmpanies behind the smart carts, including Caper and Veeve, say it's much easier t add technlgy t the shpping cart than t an entire stre. Amazn's G stres rely n hundreds f cameras in the ceiling. The shelves als include sensrs t tell when an item is remved. Ahmed Beshry, c-funder f Caper, believes the cst f the technlgy t run G is t high in a large-frmat grcery stre. Neither Caper nr Veeve has said hw much their smart shpping carts will cst, making it difficult t cmpare the different frmats. Shariq Siddiqui, CEO f Veeve, said, "We're always happy when Amazn is ding smething. They frce retailers (零售店) t get ut f their ld schl thinking."
Each time a business uses AI and cameras, it raises questins abut custmers' privacy and the effect n jbs. Beshry ntes that the cameras in his shpping cart pint dwn int the cart, s nly a custmer's hand and part f their arm will be captured (拍摄) n camera.
32. What d we knw abut the smart shpping cars?
A. They are able t recgnize gds put in them.
B. They are linked t the cameras fixed in the ceilings.
C. They flash the green light when the rder is remved.
D. They can tell custmers where t find what they want.
33. What can be inferred frm the applicatin f AI in grcery stres?
A. It may reduce the cst f running a stre.
B. It is far mre expensive than shpping carts.
C. It has attracted many mre retailers than befre.
D. It is likely t help retailers t think differently.
34. When it cmes t AI and cameras, what makes the public wrried mst?
A. That they can nly buy gds nline.
B. That custmers' infrmatin may be leaked.
C. That they have t wait in a line fr a lnger time.
D. That gds in the stres may be mre expensive.
35. What is the main idea f the text?
A. The new technlgy imprves retail sale.
B. AI-pwered cameras are used in retail stres.
C. Advanced technlgy will let yu skip the line.
D. Artificial intelligence affects the future f jb market.

In Orchestra (管弦乐队) class we had n Fridays smething called Chair Challenge. Yu culd challenge the next higher-up chair. The teacher selected a passage frm the music and the persn yu were challenging wuld play it firs-then yu wuld play it. The teacher wuld determine which f yu wn.

Hearing this I was determined t be the ne wh played the cell sl in the New Year Cncert I was secnd-chair, third-cell. In rder fr me t becme first-chair, first-cell I wuld need t d five Chair Challenges-and win all five! And I nly had six weeks t d it.
The schl allwed us t take instruments hme n weekends. I decided t take my cell hme and practice hard. S every single Friday and then again n Mnday, fr six weeks I carried this big cell case nt and ff the bus befre and after schl. Then I went hme and practiced. I practiced any music we were playing in class. And I sunded terrible.
But I kept at it. And then a funny thing happened arund the secnd week. I wasn't sunding that terrible anymre. And I realized I was getting better.
The first Chair Challenge the fllwing Friday was a nervus affair. My hands were shaking badly. But when I finished the teacher smiled and said, "Challenge successful-switch chairs." I felt excited.
I didn't dare tell anyne abut my gal. I knew they'd tell me it was impssible.
The girl wh was first-chair, firs-cell I Patricia had been playing fr years! Surely, t unseat Patricia wuld be very difficult.
But I kept practicing and winning my challenges, week after week-until it was the last Friday f December. I was nw secnd-chair, first-cell. The teacher asked if there were any Chair Challenges. Patricia turned t me and laughed. "Well…" she said.
