When you don’t have anything planned for the day or it’s rainy outside and your children are stuck in the house, why not sit around and tell them riddles（谜语）? Telling riddles will make your family laugh and sometimes even scratch their heads, trying to figure out what the answer is.
Riddles have been a pastime for centuries. Not only have riddles been something for passing the time, but they have also been used to pass on secret information during the Second World War. Even the ancient Greeks used riddles. They would tell riddles at parties and whoever was the first to get them right would receive prize.
Most riddles use words that have double meanings or share the same sound like “hear” and “here”. So in order to get the riddle, you will have to do some creative thinking and think of all the possibilities of different words. The difficulty of figuring out the riddle is based on the riddle itself. The riddle has to provide you with enough clues to come to the right answer, but that doesn’t mean that the clues have to be easy.

(2017青岛高三统一质量检测) Going on a date can be a nightmare for the best of us.But now a pair of ‘social X-Ray’ glasses promises to tell you exactly what the other person is thinking-and when you should stop talking.
The glasses have a built-in camera which monitors the other person’s facial expressions and matches them up with 24 known features which convey emotions.It will then tell the individual via an earpiece and lights on the glasses what their date is thinking.In a traffic light-style system,a red light means negative,yellow means they are a bit interested and green means your date is happy.The glasses are under development at present by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Media Lab.
They say that wearing them during a conversation with another person is like having an ‘extra sense’that they are bored or losing interest.
The eyewear was developed for people suffering from autism (孤独症) who have much difficulty interacting with others,but now the team behind it has seen wider applications.It works thanks to a camera the size of a grain of rice which is put into the glasses frame and connected via a wire to a small computer which can be attached to the user’s body.The camera monitors how long and how often 24 ‘feature points’appear on the subject’s face which are then analyzed by software developed by the MIT team.
This data is then compared with a bank of expressions and the computer tells the wearer what is going on via the earpiece and the traffic light system.
So far the glasses are still a job in progress and have been accurate just 64 percent of the time,a figure which is expected to improve with further tests.

4.Which is right according to Paragraph 2?()
A.Red=negative yellow=neutral green=positive
B.Red=positive yellow=neutral green=negative

How to Be a Winner
Sir Steven Redgrave
Winner of 5 Olympic Gold Medals
“In 1997 I was found to have developed diabetes（糖尿病）．Believing my career was over, I felt extremely low．Then one of the specialists said there was no reason why I should stop training and competing．That was it ——the encouragement I needed．I could still be a winner if I believed in myself．I am not saying that it isn’t difficult sometimes．But I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn't finished yet．Nothing is to stand in my way．”Karen Pickering
Swimming World Champion
“I swim 4 hours a day, 6 days a week．I manage that sort of workload by putting it on top of my diary．This is the key to success ——you can’t follow a career in any field without being well-organized．List what you believe you can achieve．Trust yourself, write down your goals for the day, however small they are, and you’ll be a step closer to achieving them．”Kirsten Best
Poet & Writer
“When things are getting hard, a voice inside my head tells me that I can’t achieve something．Then, there are other distractions, such as family or hobbies．The key is to concentrate．When I feel tense, it helps a lot to repeat words such as ‘calm’, ‘peace’ or ‘focus’, either out loud or silently in my mind．It makes me feel more in control and increases my confidence．This is a habit that can become second nature quite easily and is a powerful psychological tool”

good friend of mine was complaining about her son the other day.“Did you notice,”she started,“how he didn't wait for me to get my salad before he dived into his?”
True enough,the boy attacked his plate faster than a cat in the wild.Without manners,we're no more than animals.Actually ,that's not true,I've been watching and feeding a group of wild cats,and they show unusual politeness toward each other.Even when food is scarce,they take turns,leaving tat least a small part for the next in line.
My mother educated her three children to have good manners all the time.We were made to feel very uncomfortable as if we were sitting on pins and needles until we got used to saying please,thank you ,pardon me,and I'm sorry.And I have to say,while it was a painful learning experience,it was one of the most valuable.
I can't tell you how often I sat with my friends,eating at their dinner tables,and their parents thought highly of my good manners.While it was a little embarrassing.I knew even then that my mother's teachings were paying off.
Many years later,when I was attending seminars across the country,my manners were quite useful.
While I regret that I haven't been a perfect example,I'm still working on it.I suppose,in this regard,my mother lives on through me,I didn't have her beautiful singing voice or her green eyes,but she did make sure I received one of her finest characteristics.
