After nearly 50 years of separation，an elderly woman has been reunited with the
family that she feared was lost to her forever.
Celestine Thompson left Mississippi when she was 14 years oid and eventually settled
in New York，where she spent more than 30 years of her life，according to WLOX 13
News. After surviving a fire in 1992，Thompson was in a coma（昏迷）for two years and
has since experienced memory loss. The 90-year-old found it difficult to recall details about
her family.
But later she remembered the name of her nephew Clarence Woodway. Then another
woman who knows Thompson in Mississippi was able to track Woodway down and help
reunite Thompson with her large family.
“In our minds，my brother and I were talking that she wasn’t here anymore，because
we hadn’t heard from her for a very long time，”Donald Davis，another one of Thompson’s
nephews，told the media.“You know，we were overjoyed when we found out that we had
gotten in contact with her.”
A few of Thompson’s relatives visited her in New York，and then arranged a larger
reunion which was held this past Saturday in Gulfport，Mississippi，the Associated Press
reported.
Thompson now lives in Greensboro，Alabama，with a caretaker，and，although she is
yet to meet them all，she has regained quite a sizeable family of 23 nieces and nephews，64
grand nieces and nephews，66 great-grand nieces and nephews and 34 great-great-grand
nieces and nephews，according to the Associated Press.

Summer time is in full swing，which for many kids means being happily removed from
the classroom strictness and the stress of daily homework.
But as kids and parents enjoy their well-deserved break from school work，we can all
take a more active role in ensuring their minds don’t simply melt away into a mess of video
games，texting and social media.
Summer is the perfect time to encourage children to read. A recent study，conducted
by Common Sense Media，has found that the older kids get，the less likely they are to read
for pleasure.
There has been a drop in reading among all kids，especially adolescents over time. And
reading for fun drops off dramatically as children grow. The study found that more than
half of all nine-year-olds read daily for fun. But those numbers drop to just 27 percent
among 13-year-olds and even lower for older teens. In 1984，31 percent of 17-year-olds said
they read every day for pleasure. But that number has dropped to a disturbing 19 percent
today.
It’s not just the kids who are reading less. Parents also read to their children less than
ever. A recent survey shows this busier generation of parents read to their children just an
average of 30 minutes per day- down from an average of 45 minutes per day in 1999.
In today’s world，there are more distractions for children，and reading doesn’t always
stand high on that list. Part of the decline is surely due to the technology impact on
children. But the digital revolution also means opportunity. There are more platforms than
ever for children to read：from tablets to e-Readers. In this brave new world，we must find
more creative ways to engage our kids and ensure that we are raising a new generation of
readers.
39. One of the main reasons why children read less is that＿．
A. their reading proficiency is declining
B. they are faced with the homework stress
C. parents are too busy to read to them
D. books written for them are not attractive
40. How did the author describe the decline of reading in Paragraph 4？
A. By listing figures. B. By giving examples.
C. By conducting a survey. D. By telling a story.
41．What does the last paragraph imply?
A. Digital revolution can benefit people’s reading habits.
B. It is easier for children to be influenced by technology.
C. Tablets and e-Readers are really bad reading platforms.
D. Distractions must be removed to improve children’s reading.
42. The author’s purpose of writing this passage is to＿．
A. explain why kids don’t like reading
B. emphasize the importance of reading
C. give tips on how to help children read
1). remind adults of their children’s reading
D
While Sat-navy may be good for getting from A to B in a hurry，the technology is
unhelpful at selecting the prettiest routes（路线），which may be of interest it you are not
in a rush.
But Yahoo is working on an aesthetically（美学上）focused solution and is creating a
program that can pick out the most beautiful and pleasurable routes based upon the views
of locals.
Ms. Quercia at Yahoo ,aid：“The goal of this work is t。）automatically suggest routes
that are not only short but also emotionally pleasant.”
In order to create the scenic route program，the computer scientists collected images
from Google Street View to create a database for central London，Gizmodo reported.
They then asked 3，300 Londoners how pleasant the places and neighborhoods were
relative to each other. Users saw two places side by side and chose the more attractive one.
“We arranged those places into a graph upon which we learned pleasant routes，”Ms.
Quercia explained.
The team used the results to make heat maps of beautiful parts of London and
generated a program to locate the most attractive walking routes.
The program does this by searching through suggested routes from one place to
another，operating the path to choose the most attractive roads.
The researchers said that routes tend to be 12 per cent longer than the shortest paths.
When 30 volunteers tested their‘attractive’routes，they confirmed that they were
indeed more pleasing.
“Based on a quantitative confirmation．we find that，compared to the shortest routes，
the recommended ones add just a few more walking minutes but are indeed more beautiful，
quiet and happy，”they wrote.
To test and build on the idea，the computer scientists then examined almost 4 million
images on Flickr covering specific places in London that they had already mapped，to
understand what is considered beautiful.
Knocking out the crowd-sourcing element（要素）of the process, they repeated the
Flickr process to make a new map of central London，showing the exact position of the hot
spots and routes of beauty.
While one person’s idea of beauty may differ from another，the computer scientists
hope to develop an application with their program soon.
43. The underlined word "Sat-navy" probably refers to a（n）＿．
A. route B. program C. image D. experiment
44. Which of the following is the right order of creating the program?

A.③④②①⑤ B.③②①⑤④ C.④②③①⑤D.④②③⑤①、
45. Which is true about the route recommended by the new program
A. It’s much shorter but less pleasant.
B. It’s much shorter and more pleasant.
C. It’s a little longer but more pleasant.
D. It’s of the same length but more pleasant.
46. By examining the images on Flickr，the computer scientists wanted to
A. test a new application program
B. make a new map of central London
C. knock out the crowd-sourcing element
D. find out what is generally believed to beautiful

The new robot guides at a Tokyo museum look so strangely human and speak so
smoothly that they almost outdo people.
Japanese robotics expert Ishiguro says they will be useful for research on how people
interact with robots and on how humans are different from machines.“Making robots is
about exploring what it means to be human，”he says，“examining the question of what is
emotion，what is awareness，what is thinking.”
In a demonstration，the remote-controlled machines moved their pink lips in time to a
voice-over．twitched their eyebrows，blinked and swayed their heads from side to side.
