• 3．Every year，there are some inventions that make our life so much easier，smarter.You'll find the new inventions below are brilliant，and some of them are a little fun.
      Voice-Activated Lights ＄70
     About 50 percent of people in the United Kingdom admitted to keeping the lights on when they leave the house.The sad reality is that sometimes we forget to turn the lights off and other times，we're just too lazy to walk over to the light switch.But there's a simple solution：Voice-activated light switches.If you own a Google Assistant，then these automated lights will connect to your smart device so you can command them to dim，stay on for a specified period of time，or just turn off completely.
     Who wants the noisy beeping of an alarm clock waking them up every morning and starting their day off on the wrong foot？We believe，nobody.This special alarm clock replaces that sharp sound with a calming melody- oh，and a pleasant smell.Think：freshly ground coffee，freshly ground grass，and the fresh scent of flowers.
     A Mug with a Customizable Temperature ＄80
     Drinking boiled hot coffee is no fun- it may burn your mouth.Luckily，one company has come up with a solution for liquids that are too hot for a long time.They designed a mug that allows you to choose your ideal liquid temperature，and their technology will maintain the temperature as you sip leisurely.The mug is so high-tech that you can even connect it to your phone and it will keep you updated on the status of the temperature.
     Since many kinds of languages are spoken，being bilingual is a valuable skill.That said，most of us don't exactly have the time on our hands to learn that many languages，so the next-best thing is this device that will translate over thirty-two languages in real time.One person tested the device and stated that it is "simple and readily understood，with proper information on word synonyms."
  
  （1）Which of the following can give off the pleasant smell？

  
  A．Voice-Activated Lights.
  B．A Scent-Based Alarm Clock.
  C．A Mug with a Customizable Temperature.
  D．An Instant Voice Translator.
  （2）From the passage，we know the Instant Voice Translator

  .
  A．can communicate with people
  B．can test a person 's language ability
  C．offers translation in many languages
  D．helps improve a person' s spoken skills
  （3）We can probably read this passage from

  .
  A．a(chǎn) fashion magazine
  B．a(chǎn) new technology website
  C．a(chǎn) science textbook
  D．a(chǎn) health research report

• 8．The flame of the Beijing Winter Olympics has just been extinguished，marking the end of the l7-day Games，which were streamlined，safe and splendid.
      Every time an athlete breaks a record，it represents a new success in pushing the human limits.Fighting hard is not just about winning the game，it is more about winning out over one's self and pursuing excellence.
  Athletes focused on competition on the field of play，and outside，they made friends and shared their real，firsthand experience of the Games.A pair of curling players posted the gifts they received from Chinese athletes.One aerial skier hugged her Chinese competitor who had won gold and told her how proud she was of her.A woman snowboarder was moved to tears by the hospitality and kindness she received in China and found it so hard to part with her friends.
      On this most viewed Winter Olympics，sportsmanship was also found in the audience.People want to see their home country win，but they also cheer for outstanding performances of other athletes and feel sorry for those who fall，no matter which country they represent.To take a broader view，the legacy of the Bejjing Winter Olympics is not just about sport.It is about people.
      The Beijing Games are the first in history to be carbon neutral，and renewable energy was used in all venues （場(chǎng)館），marking China's latest effort for green development.Artificial intelligence，5 G，high-speed rail，cloud broadcasting and virtual reality technology have not only created transformative experiences at the Games，but also will improve people's daily lives.
      Elements of Chinese culture were embedded in everything from sport venues to mascots Bing Dwen Dwen and Shuey Rhon Rhon，winning a thumbs-up from guests all over the world.They are the symbols of mutual learning between cultures，and they stand for our pursuit of making the world a community with a shared future.
      The Olympic spirit has offered us many things to learn.Let's draw inspiration from it and go together for a shared future.
  （1）According to this passage，what's the meaning of fighting hard in the Olympic Games？

  
  （2）What contribution did the Beijing Winter Olympics make to green development？

  
  （3）Please decide which part is false in the following statement，then underline it and explain why.
  ?In the Beijing Winter Olympics，sportsmanship can be found among the athletes as well as in technology.

  
  （4）What can you do to promote the Olympic spirit in your daily life？ （In about 40 words）
