14.Imagine having an idea,drawing it on paper,bringing it to a store and seeing it turned into a physical object.This is now possible with the help of 3D printers.Such machines were once used just by universities and big companies.But now,stores with 3D printing services are appearing around the United States.
    Bryan Jaycox and his wife opened The Build ShopLLC in Los Angeles two years ago.The store is filled with tools like a laser cutter,an industrial sewing machine and 3D printers.Bryan Jaycox requires 15an hour to print an object.He also charge safe depending on the size of the object and up to 50 an hour for design and labor services.
    The Jaycoxs also offer 3D printing classes for anyone who is interested.One of the students in a recent class was Ki Chong Tran.He plans to open a 3D printing business in Cambodia."The demand has been amazing.It's been much more than I would have imagined,"said Ki Chong Tran.
"I think 3D printing is going to be huge. It's going to make a huge impact on society as a whole,"he added.
    Mr Jaycox predicts that within five years,3D printing technology could become more consumer friendly.
    But Ki Chong Tran says even current technology can make a difference in a developing country like Cambodia."With 3D printing you can give them tools,and you put it in their hands so they are responsible more for their own development. They learn skills beyond just learning English and becoming a tour guide or something like that or working at a bank.You can actually create things that give value to the world,"said Ki Chong Tran.
     He says it's not just Cambodia but anywhere where there is a 3D printer,it can turn a good idea into reality.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 1、要想做好科普英語(yǔ)閱讀理解題,同學(xué)們就要注意平時(shí)多讀科普知識(shí)類文章,學(xué)習(xí)科普知識(shí),積累常見的科普詞匯,從根本上提高科普英語(yǔ)的閱讀能力.
2、要熟悉科普類文章的結(jié)構(gòu)特點(diǎn).科普類文章一般由標(biāo)題(Head line),導(dǎo)語(yǔ)(Introduction),背景(Back ground),主體(Main body)和結(jié)尾(End)五部分構(gòu)成.標(biāo)題是文章中心思想高度而又精辟的概括,但根據(jù)歷年的高考情況來(lái)看,這類閱讀理解材料一般不給標(biāo)題,而要同學(xué)們選擇標(biāo)題.導(dǎo)語(yǔ)一般位于整篇文章的首段.背景交待一個(gè)事實(shí)的起因.主體則對(duì)導(dǎo)語(yǔ)概括的事實(shí)進(jìn)行詳細(xì)敘述,這一部分命題往往最多,因此,閱讀時(shí),同學(xué)們要把這部分作為重點(diǎn).結(jié)尾往往也是中心思想的概括,并與導(dǎo)語(yǔ)相呼應(yīng),命題者常在此要設(shè)計(jì)一道推理判斷題.  
3、在進(jìn)行推理判斷時(shí),同學(xué)們一定要以閱讀材料所提供的科學(xué)事實(shí)為依據(jù),同時(shí)所得出的結(jié)論還應(yīng)符合基本的科普常識(shí).

5.Until late in the 20th century,most Americans spent time with people of generations.Now mid-aged Americans may not keep in touch with old people until they are old themselves.That's because we group people by age.We put our three-year-olds together in day-care center,our 13-year-olds in school and sports activities,and our 80-year-olds in senior-citizen homes.Why?
We live away from the old for many reasons:young people sometimes avoid the old to get rid of fears for aging and dying.It is much harder to watch.someone we love disappear before our eyes.Sometimes it's so hard that we stay away from the people who need us most.
Fortunately,.some of us have found our way to the old.And we have discovered that they often save the young.
A reporter moved her family onto a block filled with old people.At first her children were disappointed.But the reporter baked banana bread for the neighbours and had her children deliver it and visit.Soon the children had many new friends,with whom they shared food,stories and projects."My children have never been less lonely,"the reporter said.
The young,in turn,save the old.Once I was in a rest home when a visitor showed up with a baby.She was immediately surrounded.People who hadn't gotten out of bed in a week suddenly were ringing for a wheelchair.Even those who had seemed asleep wake up to watch the child.Babies have an astonishing power to comfort and cure.
Grandparents are a special case.They give grandchildren a feeling of security and continuity.As my husband put it,"my grandparents gave me a deep sense that things would turn out right in the end."
Grandchildren speak of attention they don't get from worried parents."My parents were always telling me to hurry up,and my grandparents told me to slow down,"one friend said.A teacher told me she can tell which pupils have relationships with grandparents:they are quieter,calmer,more trusting.

29.Now in an American family,people can find thatC.
A.children never live with their parents.
B.a(chǎn)ged people are supported by their grandchildren.
C.not all working people live with their parents.
D.grandchildren are supported by their grandparents.
30.The reason why old people are left alone may be thatD.
A.the old don't like to live in a big family.
B.the young can't get enough money to support the old.
C.the old are too weak to live with the young.
D.different generations have different lifestyles.
31.The fact that the reporter told us shows thatA.
A.old people are easy to get along with.
B.old people in America enjoy banana bread.
C.she had no time to take care of her children.
D.old people in America lead a hard life.
32.By saying"Babies have an astonishing power to comfort and cure"the author meansC.
A.old people had never seen her baby before
B.the baby was clever and beautiful
C.the baby brought old people the image of life
D.the baby's mother would take care of them.

9.Getting kids to share their toys is a never-ending battle,and forcing them to do so never seems to help.New research suggests that allowing children to make a choice to sacrifice their own toys in order to share with someone else makes them share more in the future.The new findings are published in Psychological Science.
These experiments were conducted by psychological scientists,Nadia Chernyak and Tamar Kushnir of Cornell University.They found that sharing things with others when they are given a difficult choice leads children to think of themselves as people who like to share.It also makes them more likely to act in a pro-social (親社會(huì)的)manner in the future.
Previous research has explained why rewarding children for sharing can backfire.Children come to think of themselves as people who don't like to share since they had to be rewarded for doing so.Because they don't view themselves as"sharers"they are less likely to share in the future.
Chernyak and Kushnir were interested in finding out whether freely chosen sacrifice might have the opposite effect on kids'willingness to share.To test this,the researchers introduced five-year-old children to Doggie,a sad puppet.Some of the children were given a difficult choice:Share a precious sticker with Doggie,or keep it for themselves.Other children were given an easy choice between sharing and putting the sticker away,while children in a third group were required by the researcher to share.
Later on,all the children were introduced to Ellie,another sad puppet.They were given the option of how many stickers to share (up to three).The kids who earlier made the difficult choice to help Doggie shared more stickers with Ellie.The children who were initially faced with an easy choice or who were required to give their sticker to Doggie,on the other hand,shared fewer stickers with Ellie.Therefore,children did not benefit from simply giving something up,but rather from willingly choosing to give something up of value.
"You might imagine that making difficult,costly choices is taxing for young children or even that once children share,they don't feel the need to do so again,"Chernyak says."But this wasn't the case:once children made a difficult decision to give up something for someone else,they were more generous,not less,later on."Chernyak concludes.
74.Dhelps children to share more in the future.
A.Rewarding children for sharing stickers
B.Requiring children to share their favorite toys
C.Allowing children to share what they don't need
D.Encouraging children to share precious things willingly
75.The underlined word"backfire"meansD.
A.serve as a push                  B.have an opposite effect
C.cause anger                      D.a(chǎn)void taking things back
76.Those who were required to share give fewer stickers to Ellie becauseA.
A.it's not their own choice           B.they regret what they did
C.Ellie is not as sad as Doggie        D.they like to share with a real person
77.We can conclude from the passage thatC
A.parents will never find a way to get children to share toys
B.a(chǎn) gift should be given to make up for children's sacrifice
C.making difficult choices may influence sharing behavior
D.children pretend to be generous when they are being observed.

"Might I ask,"said the clerk,"what do you do in your field?"

6.[1]Do you remember the title of the last book you read?Are names sometimes just beyond your brain's reach?While forgetfulness isn't necessarily a sign that something's wrong,it can be frustrating(令人沮喪的).But simple methods can help to sharpen your memory.
[2]Challenge your habits.Sometimes a little bit of habit changing goes a long way.For example,use the‘wrong'hand to do an everyday task several times a day.If you usually brush your teeth with your right hand,use your left.The brain‘knows'whew you're using the wrong hand.It's that confusion that stimulates new brain circuits,as the brain struggles to master a new task.
