Your glasses may someday replace your smartphone, and some New Yorkers are ready for the switch. Some in the city can't wait to try them on and use the maps and GPS that the futuristic eyewear is likely to include.
" I'd use it if I were hanging out with friends at 3 a. m. and going to the bar and wanted to see what was open," said Walter Choo, 40, of Fort Greene.
The smartphone-like glasses will likely come out this year and cost between $250 and $600, the Times said, possibly including a variation of augmented(增強的) reality, a technology already available on smartphones and tablets (平板電腦) that overlays information onto the screen about one's surroundings. So, for example, if you were walking down a street, indicators would pop up showing you the nearest coffee shop or directions could be plotted out and come into view right on the sidewalk in front of you.
" As far as a mainstream consumer product, this just isn't something anybody needs," said Sam Biddle, who writes for Gizmodo.com. " We're accustomed to having one thing in our pocket to do all these things," he added, "and the average consumer isn't gonna be able to afford another device (裝置) that's hundreds and hundreds of dollars. "
9to5Google publisher Seth Weintraub, who has been reporting on the smartphone-like glasses since late last year, said he is confident that this type of wearable device will eventually be as common as smartphones.
"It's just like smartphones 10 years ago," Weintraub said. "A few people started getting emails on their phones, and people thought that was crazy. Same kind of thing. We see people bending their heads to look at their smartphones, and it's unnatural," he said. " There's gonna be improvements to that, and this a step there. "
【小題1】One of the possible functions of the smartphone-like glasses is to ____.
A. program the opening hours of a bar |
B. supply you with a picture of the future |
C. provide information about your surroundings |
D. update the maps and GPS in your smartphones |
A.develop rapidly | B.get round quickly |
C.a(chǎn)ppear immediately | D.go over automatically |
A.necessary for teenagers |
B.a(chǎn)ttractive to New Yorkers |
C.a(chǎn)vailable to people worldwide |
D.expensive for average consumers |
A.may have a potential market |
B.a(chǎn)re as common as smartphones |
C.a(chǎn)re popular among young adults |
D.will be improved by a new technology |

Pop music is the name for different forms of popular, commercial(商業(yè)) music. It had its beginning in the USA and spread throughout the whole world during the 1950s and 1960s. It is widely liked by the young people. The best known early form of pop music was “rock’ n’ roll”; another was “blues”. A more recent development is “folk-rock”. Pop music has taken the place of native music in many parts of the world; it has caused the number of people for jazz to become much smaller than it was in the 1950s and earlier, and it has now begun to rule musical stage productions. It’s a big industry. Much pop music is without artistic value, but the work of some pop singers, e.g. the Beatles, Bob Dylan, the groups like Floyd and Crosby, Stills and Nash, is on a higher musical level. And there is still a great interest in it today. Pop music concerts and festivals are held all over the world.

A.blues | B.rock’ n ’roll | C.jazz | D.folk-rock |

Many parents find that their children act very mean to their friends. They wonder what they can do about this behavior without squashing their spirit. Here is what parenting experts explain and suggest:
Pre-schoolers have no idea how others feel. They are in the process of understanding their own feelings and have not yet developed “emotional intelligence”. Children of this age also do things just because it can make them feel powerful when they are able to make others respond.
Here are some things you can do to reduce the mean talk: When the child’s in a good mood, look her in the eyes and lovingly tell her how you feel when she speaks in a mean way to another child. Have a look of disappointment on your face and role-play with her to show her the behavior you would like to see. Then, every time you see her demonstrating the “nice” interaction with others, stop what you’re doing, give her eyes contact and make a big deal out of it. Young children need to know what good behavior looks like with regular encouragement. When you catch her being mean to a child, get down on your knees next to her, and, with your arm around her, face the child that is receiving her meanness, and apologize to the child for both of you, then walk away. As soon as the other child is away, let your daughter know how disappointed you are in her behavior and quickly let it go.
Parents should set up a consequence when this negative behavior occurs. You can give these other ideas a try first. If you’re not seeing any results after a few times, then go ahead and set up the consequence(such as not being able to play with that child). Avoid using “time out” because it doesn’t work. It gives the child too much power and too much attention. The most effective consequences are those that are directly tied to the behavior. If she is being mean to children, then the play session ends. And most importantly, set up this consequence in advance when the negative behavior is NOT occurring.
If you should catch her being a “bully” to another child, and she has somehow hurt him or her, immediately put all your attention on the victim, not her. Don’t scold or punish your daughter. Softly, gently, and immediately, nurture the hurt child and get your daughter to assist you in the nurturing. When things have calmed down, let her know face to face how disappointed you are in her behavior, not her as a child.
65. When a child talks mean to his friend, the best way to correct it is to___________.
A. tell him directly that it is a wrong doing
B. demonstrate what a good behavior is
C. make him apologize to his friend
D. ask his friend not to play with him anymore
66. The underlined phrase “make a big deal out of it ” in paragraph 2 probably
Means_____________.
A. show some disappointment B. say a few words of praise
C. exchange gifts with the child D. present a surprised look
67. When dealing with a child’s mean action, you shouldn’t___________.
A. punish her in the presence of her friend.
B. put on a disappointed look on your face
C. tell her that you are unhappy to see that
D. nurture the hurt child immediately
68. The passage is mainly about how to___________
A. bring up children
B. solve pre-school children’s problems
C. help children make friends
D. guide children when bad behaviors occur

It may be the season to be joyful at the time of Christmas, but a psychologist in Columbus, Ohio says as many as one person in four has a chance of holiday depression this time of year.
Dr. David Lowenstein says a lot of people “buy into the idea that the holidays should be a picture perfect, Norman Rockwell affair”, but he says that’s “unrealistic for most people”. Dr. Lowenstein says the potential is very high this time of year for psychological, physical and financial stress, so he recommends applying what he calls the “three R’s” to keep the holiday blues on the run.
First, says the doctor, be Realistic. Don’t set overly high expectations, acknowledge feelings of sadness and don’t’ repress them. Rather, seek out social support and companionship, such as through a community group or church.
Second, be Reasonable. Dr. Lowenstein says it’s best to eat and drink in moderation, rather than do more than usual just because it’s the holidays. By the way, moderation applies to money too. The doctor says a lot of people can’t spend what they’d like on gifts, or they spend more than they can afford. Either way, he says it’s depressing.
Third, get some Rest. Don’t try to do more than you can comfortably do. Watch your time, and schedule some breaks for peace and quiet. Also, share your load with someone else. Dr. Lowenstein says if you’re feeling stressed and/or overburdened, try to get relatives or friends to help take up some of your burdens.
64. The phrase “buy into” in the 2nd paragraph probably means______.
A. purchase B. spend money on C. believe D. come into
65. The author is trying to _____.
A. express his joy for the holiday
B. introduce psychology
C. warn readers of a possible danger around Christmas time
D. break the notion that holidays should be perfect
66. The phrase” holiday blues” in the last line of the 2nd paragraph means______.
A. the depression that happened in holidays
B. the blue color used in holidays
C. the blue sky of holidays
D. the time of happiness
67. If you feel burdened, one of the ways to solve it is to _______.
A. share the burden with someone B. go to the psychologist
C. accept the fact as they are D. go to somewhere else
