TWO NEWS REPORTS

NEWS REPORT 1

Even

before

5G

is

widely

commercially

available,

Chinese

telecom

giant

Huawei

has

reportedly begun researching the next generation of wireless technology—6G.

Tech website

“iPhone in Canada^ reported that Huawei has confirmed to local media “The Logic

（逻辑学；逻辑性）

in talks with Canadian university researchers about working on development of the next-generation

wireless system,

Song Zhang, vice-president of research strategy and partnership of Huawei in Canada, said “5G is

very new

,

and looking at 6G is part of the so- called 5G evolution.”

Huawei has not commented on the report, according to The Paper.

NEWS REPORT 2

A Japanese startup called SkyDrive Inc. has begun conducting test flights of their prototype

flying car with a human pilot.

The company hopes to be able to make a full public demonstration

（演示；展示）

of the vehicle

later this summer.

The test flights are being conducted at a protected indoor facility at the company’s research flight

center outside of Nagoya.

There have been a number of previous test flights, but they were all conducted via remote control

and no human pilot on-board.

According to a report in The Asahi Shimbun, SkyDrive says the car could be ready for a limited

retail release as early as 2023, and mass production by 2026.

SkyDrive was founded by former engineers from Toyota and they intend their vehicle to be the

world's smallest flying car.

In 2017, Toyota gave the company an infusion

（灌输）

of around $$ 350,000 to help develop flying

vehicles.

The company said it won't say more about how the test flights have been proceeding

（行动；

进

行）

so far, but says things are going well enough to continue making them.

21.

’

s research team studies 6G technology in Canadian laboratories.

T

he latest in cat research reveals that the lovelyanimal seems to have a basic grasp on both the

lawsof physics and the ins and outs of cause and effect.

According to a newly published study, cats seem to be able to predict the location of

hidingprey(

猎 物

)using both their ears and an inborn(

天生的

)understanding of how the physicalworld

works

In a recent experiment, Japanese researchers taped 30 domestic cats reacting to a containerthat a

team member shook Some containers rattled(

发出响声

); others did not. When thecontainer was

tipped over, sometimes an object fell out and sometimes it didn't.

It turns out that the cats were remarkably smart about what would happen when a containerwas

tipped over. When an object did not drop out of the bottom of a rattling container, theylooked at it for

a longer time than they did when the container behaved as expected.

objects,

hunting style may have developed based on their common- sense abilitiesto infer where prey is, using

their hearing.

Scientists have explored this idea with other endearing creatures: babies. Like cats, babiesappear

to engage in what's called

—

looking longer at things that areinteresting or

unusual than things they perceive as normal.

When babies' expectations are violated in experiments like the ones performed with the cats, they

react much like their animal friends. Psychologists have shown that babies apparentlyexpect their

world to comply with the laws of physics and cause and effect as early as twomonths of age.

Does the study mean that cats will soon grasp the ins and outs of cause and effect? Maybe, Okay,

so cats may not be the next physics faculty members at America's most importantresearch universities.

But by demonstrating their common sense, they've shown that the dividebetween cats and humans

may not be that great after all.

24. What do we learn from a newly published study about cats?

A) They can be trained to understand the physical world.

B) They know what kind of prey might be easier to hunt.

C) They have a natural ability to locate animals they hunt.

D) They are capable of telling which way their prey flees.

25. What may account for the cats' response to the noise from the containers?

A) Their inborn sensitivity to noise. C) Their special ability to perceive.

B) Their unusual sense of direction. D) Their mastery of cause and effect.

26 In what way do babies behave like cats?

A) They focus on what appears odd. C) They do what they prefer to do

B) They view the world as normal. D) They are curious about everything.

can we conclude about cats from the passage?

A) They have higher intelligence than many other animals.

B) They interact with the physical world much like humans.

C) They display extraordinarily high intelligence in hunting.

D) They can aid physics professors in their research work.

Since You Need A Green Light

Truth is there is one word of advice I would leave to my children it would be, you're

better off being DIFFERENT. If the majority of people are doing something and you choose to be a

part of it then you're probably on a fast track to self-destruction.

One of these disturbing changes I mentioned is the fact that my fellow oxvgen users allow

themselves to be fooled so easily. It's almost as if no one can think on their own let

trends influence how we dress, talk and interact. Where I'm from, in the 90's you couldn't be caught

dead with tight pants. Now, a couple of rap artist wear

saying that there's anything wrong with wearing fitted clothing, but does media have to give you a

green light for everything? Live your life for you.

Have you ever asked yourself, who defines your perspective of

When you see a

commercial on TV advertising some new shoes that aren't economically friendly,are you interested in

the actual design of the shoe or are you more concerned about how you are perceived wearing an

expensive brand?

Currently,we seek that peace in the wrong places. Did you know that it's human nature to desire

to be a part of something? Do you really want to be out all night drinking with the guys/girls? Who

celebrates turning 33 with shots? Choose to be a part of something positive. Constantly seek to better

yourself and your circle.

Life can be discouraging at times. We subconsciously corner our souls until the point where we

have to escape by any means necessary. Even to the point of doing things we wouldn't normally do.

Reaching the bottom of a 750ml bottle of Ciroc (a brand of alcohol)could be emotional survival. Same

goes for participating in drugs and other escapes we've 's past time to wake up from your

slumber(

睡眠）。

Find your happiness. Not the temporary satisfaction from substance--less material things. Take a

break from consulting your many Facebook psychologists. Think on your own for a change. Evaluate

your current status and plan for where you want to be.

What's the deadliest animal

？

Trick question

．

Sure

，

the shark in Jaws is terrifying - but

you're way more likely to be killed by the animals you see every day

．

That's according to a study

published in February in the journal Wilderness & Environmental Medicine

．

Don't Sweat the Scary Stuff

The study looked at mortality data in the United States from 2008 to 2015 and compared the

number of deaths caused by animals to a 2012 study that looked at the same elements in prior

years

．

In this new study

，

researchers found a total of 1

，

610 animal-related deaths in the

U

．

S

．，

including deaths as a result of bites

，

contact

，

attack

，

or envenomation

（

venom

injection

）．

The majority of those deaths were related to nonvenomous animals

，

coming out to

about 2.8 deaths per million people

．

Surprisingly

，

most of the fatalities they found weren't related to wild animal attacks

：

The

largest proportion of animal deaths were caused by large mammals

，

especially horses and

cattle

．

According to a press release

，

other studies have found that most of these deaths occur on

the farm

，

and accidents with horses and cattle account for a whopping 90 percent of farm

accidents

．

The next largest group of animal- related fatalities were caused by a group called Hymenoptera

，

or hornets

，

wasps

，

and bees

，

accounting for just under 30 percent of the reported

fatalities

．

According to the press release

，

，

which are found most often

in the southern and western U

．

S

．，

can be particularly lethal when they swarm

．

The third largest group

？

Man's best friend

：

dog- related fatalities occurred at a rate of about

4.6 deaths per 10 million people

．

The study showed that young children are most vulnerable

：

The

rate of children under age four killed by dogs was twice as high as the next most vulnerable age

group

，

people older than 65

，

and four times as high as other age groups

．

，

like cattle or horses

，

but when you're looking at attacks from wild animals only

，

the most common cause of death are

due to venomous animals

，

like wasps or bees

，
