Smartphones, tablets and laptops make it easy for people to work on the go, but traditionally, printers have been cumbersome to move out of the office. However，the new Zuta Pocket Printer will enable people to print anywhere.

The Zuta Pocket Printer was invented by Zuta Labs, based in Jerusalem. This small printer is about 10.2 cm wide and long and 7.5 cm high, and weighs about 350 grams. The company plans to ship its printers to customers in the beginning of 2017.

This printer can connect wirelessly to smartphones, tablets, laptops and PCs via Wi-Fi, and is supported by Android, iOS, OS X and Windows. A free application from the company lets you use the printer via a mobile appliance; a laptop or PC can also select the printer for use just like any other wirelessly connected printer. This printer can print one average A4 page, measuring 21 by 29.7 cm. Zuta Labs noted that its printer can print on any standard size piece of paper, and that, in principle, it could print on any surface.

The printer’s “omni-wheels” help it turn and move in any direction on a surface. Laser sensors (激光傳感器) help control the movement, speed and location, according to the company.

Zuta Labs said the printer’s rechargeable battery can last about 1 hour, on average~long enough to print about 60 pages. One ink cartridge (墨盒) can print more than 100 pages, according to the company. Currently, the appliance prints only in black, although Zuta Labs said it plans to have a full-color printer in the future.

What personal qualities are desirable in a teacher？I think the following would be generally accepted.

Firstly，the teacher's personality should be lively and attractive. This does not rule out people who are plain?looking，or even ugly，because many such people have great personal charm. 1..

Secondly，it is not merely desirable but essential for a teacher to have a capacity for sympathy，a capacity to understand the minds and feelings of children. 2.—not of what is wrong，but of the weaknesses and immaturity of children，which cause them to make mistakes.

Thirdly，I hold it essential for a teacher to be both intellectually and morally honest. This means that he will be aware of his intellectual strengths and limitations，and will have thought about and decided upon the moral principles by which his life shall be guided. 3.. That is part of the technique of teaching，which demands that every now and then a teacher should be able to put on an act—to enliven(使生動)a lesson，correct a fault，or award praise.

A teacher must be capable of infinite patience. 4.，for we are none of us born like that.

Finally，I think a teacher should have the kind of mind which always wants to go on learning. 5.；there is always something more to learn about. There are three principal objects of study：the subjects which the teacher is teaching；the methods by which the subjects can best be taught to the particular pupils in the classes he is teaching；most importantly，the children，young people，or adults to whom the subjects are to be taught.

A．This，I may say，is largely a matter of self?discipline and self?training

B．Closely related to this is the capacity to be tolerant

C. Teaching is a job at which one will never be perfect

D．Children，especially young children，live in a world that is rather larger than life

E．There is no contradiction (自相矛盾)in my going on to say that a teacher should be a bit of an actor

F．But it does rule out such types as the over?excitable，sad，cold，and frustrated

G．There are two fundamental principles of British education today

Discovery’s astronauts arrived to an exciting celebration Wednesday as nearly 700 people crowded an airplane storage place, waving flags and holding signs that read: “Welcome Home, Astronauts!”

The seven-person team returned to Earth on Tuesday after being the first to take a space shuttle into orbit since the Columbia disaster（災(zāi)難）of 2003.

“In the last two and a half years, we have been through the very worst that manned space flight can bring us, and over the past two weeks we have seen the very best,” NASA Administrator Michael Griffin told the astronauts and their families and fans Wednesday.

The crowd waved American flags for the U.S. astronauts and Japanese flags for crew member Soichi Noguchi, one of the spacewalkers.

“As a rookie（新手）astronaut, I could not ask for more,” Noguchi said, “We had three spacewalks, two extra days in space and one great team.”

While the homecoming has been filled with excitement for what mission controllers declared a “truly spectacular test flight”, uncertainty remains for the future of the shuttle program.

Shortly after Discovery rose up into space July 26, a nearly 1-pound large piece of foam insulation（泡沫絕緣材料）fell from the fuel tank-the very thing that was supposed to have been fixed after Columbia exploded. The foam missed Discovery, but NASA grounded all shuttle flights until engineers fix the problem.

NASA ground crews examined Discovery after its return from orbit and found it in good condition, an official said Wednesday at NASA‟s Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards Air Force Base in California.

Technicians counted 101 dings and divots, including 20 that were larger than 1 inch. Schaaf Dean, landing support group chief, said the numbers were similar to the results of other shuttle, post-landing examinations.

A beginning examination of the shuttle’s thermal（熱的）blanket showed it remained undamaged during re-en-try into the Earth’s air.(Agencies)

科目：高中英語 來源：四川省2016-2017學(xué)年高一下學(xué)期6月月考英語試卷 題型：閱讀理解

Samuel Osmond is a 19-year-old law student from Cornwall, England. He never studied the piano. However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them. He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts. Then he thinks about the notes in his head. Two years ago, he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata (奏鳴曲) by Beethoven. He surprised everyone around him.

Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly, his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable. They say his ability is very rare, but Samuel doesn’t even realize that what he can do is special. Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents, but music teachers told him he should study music instead. Now, he studies law and music.

Samuel can’t understand why everyone is so surprised. “I grew up with music. My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar. About two years ago, I suddenly decided to sun playing the piano, without being able to read music and without having any lessons. It comes easily to me — I hear the notes and can bear them in mind — each and every note,” says Samuel.

Recently, Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college. The piece had more than a thousand notes. The audience was impressed by his amazing performance. He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists can’t play it. Samuel says confidently,” It’s all about super memory — I guess I have that gift.”

However, Samuel’s ability to remember things doesn’t slop with music. His family says that even when he was a young boy, Samuel heard someone read a story, and then he could retell the story word for word.

Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesn’t know what he wants to do in the future. For now, he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies.

1.What is special about Samuel Osmond?

A. He has a gift for writing music.

B. He can write down the note he hears.

C. He is a top student at the law school.

D. He can play the musical piece he hears.

2.Everyone around Samuel was surprised because he .

A. received a good early education in music

B. played the guitar and the piano perfectly

C. could play the piano without reading music

D. could play the guitar better than his father

3.What can we infer about Samuel in Paragraph 4?

A. He became famous during a special event at his college.

B. He is proud of his ability to remember things accurately.

C. He plays the piano better than many professional pianists.

D. He impressed the audience by playing all the musical pieces.

4.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?

A. The Qualities of a Musician

B. The Story of a Musical Talent

C. The importance of Early Education

D. The Relationship between Memory and Music
