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.

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.

Dyslexia(失讀癥) is a learning disorder, it interferes with the ability to recognise words, and for some readers to understand what they have read.

Experts say dyslexia affects about five to ten percent of the population of the United State. Researchers have long known that people with dyslexia write or read words and letters backwards in the wrong order.

But a new study shows that people with dyslexia may have trouble redirecting(重新傳入) their attention between senses, from seeing something to hearing something. The study suggests something that might help dyslexic people learn more quickly — play video games.

Vanessa Harrar of Britain's University of Oxford led the study. She reported the findings in the journal Current Biology. The study suggests that dyslexic people may have trouble moving quickly from what they read to what they hear. Doctor Harrar calls this a "sluggish shifting of attention across the senses."

"So, if you are trying to read something and then trying to listen to somebody who's reading aloud and you're trying to follow along with what they are reading -- they have to switch their attention from hearing what they are saying to looking at the piece of paper and back again. So we found they have quite sluggish shifting of attention across the senses," said Harrar.

In the study, Doctor Harrar tested 17 people with dyslexia, and 19 others without reading problems. The volunteers were asked to push a button as quickly as possible when they heard a sound, saw a light or experienced both together. Doctor Harrar compared the speed of their reactions.

She found that people with dyslexia were just as fast as the others when they saw only a picture or heard only a sound. But the dyslexics had a slower reaction time when they heard a sound and saw a picture at the same time.

Doctor Harrar feels like playing action video games could help dyslexic people shift from seeing to hearing more quickly. She adds that images in video games force the eyes to move and focus quickly.

"Video game types of things pop out of here and there, they move your eyes around the screen quite quickly in response to things quite quickly, and the more you play a video game the faster you get that kind of thing. So, the video game is really training the attention system to move quickly," said Harrar.

The study also shows that dyslexic people have the most difficulty going between what they saw and what they heard, this may have an effect on how dyslexic children are taught how to read.

When children learn the alphabet, they usually see the letter first and then hear the sound, or they see and hear the letter at the same time. The study shows that dyslexics might learn more quickly if they hear the sound of a letter or word first before seeing it.

1.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Video games are good for children.

B. Study suggests video games might help dyslexics

C. A study about Video Games is being carried out.

D. Children with dyslexics can learn better by playing video games.

2.What does the underlined word “sluggish” in Paragragh 4 mean?

A. slow B. wrong

C. specific D. accurate

3.Why can playing video games help dyslexic people learn more quickly?

A. While playing video games, people will train their reading and hearing.

B. While playing video games, people will have a good knowledge of the system.

C. While playing video games, people should move their eyes around the screen quite quickly train the attention system to move quickly.

D. Video games can arouse their interest in reading.

4.What is the importance of the finding?

A. The finding will prove video games are not necessarily bad for children.

B. People with Dyslexia will be cured by playing video games.

C. People with Dyslexia will not be made fun of by others.

D. The finding may have an effect on the way to teach dyslexic children how to read.

"Guinness" is on Tuesday nights on Fox.It is a disgusting show that I regret watching.The producers seem to show the sickest records.There is nothing wrong with the book,and it's an honor to be in it,for the most part.The program,however,doesn't show the record for the person who lifted the most weight.Instead,they show the person who lifted 30 pounds with his ears and tongue,which was truly disgusting.Television can do without a show like this.

Edmund Percival Hillary was one of the greatest explorers of the twentieth century. He was born in Auckland, New Zealand, in 1919. He discovered an interest in mountain climbing while he was still in high school and began climbing New Zealand's Southern Alps.

Like his father, Hillary earned his living as a beekeeper. However, he continued to climb mountains. His goal was to climb Mt. Everest, which is the highest mountain in the world. By the early 1950s, several expeditions（探險(xiǎn)隊(duì)）had attempted to reach the summit of Everest, but all had failed. Then, in 1953, Hillary and a Nepalese climber named Tenzing Norgay became the first two people to reach the top of the world.

Hillary's spirit of exploration was not satisfied. He joined an expedition to Antarctica and reached the South Pole in 1958. He also made an expedition up the Ganges River to its source in the Himalayas. Sir Edmund Hillary was a brave adventurer. He went where no man or woman had gone before.

Although Hillary was best known as the young man who climbed to the summit of Mt. Everest in the 1950s, he continued his journeys to far-off places into his senior years. For instance, in his mid-sixties Hillary flew to the North Pole with Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon. Moreover, Hillary authored many books. However, his most lasting gift, perhaps, was the Sir Edmund Hillary Himalayan Trust（信托基金）. It raised millions of dollars and contributed to schools, hospitals and many other public improvements in the Sherpa villages of Nepal. In January 2008, Sir Edmund Hillary died at the age of 88.

Despite being a great adventurer and known for the treasure he left Sir Edmund Hillary always modestly referred to himself as a simple beekeeper from New Zealand.

1.Hillary was interested in ________ when he was in high school.

A. mountain-climbing B. bee-keeping

C. money-raising D. story-writing

2.Hillary became well-known because ________.

A. he reached both the South Pole and the North Pole

B. he was the first to reach the top of Mt. Everest

Nowadays,cars have become a very common vehicle in our life.As the most important transport,cars have improved our modern life in many ways.However,cars also bring about so many problems for people,which should be given more attention than any time before.

Cars give people the ability to travel to any place they like.Many people begin to travel frequently.This helps people connect with each other better than before.A more obvious influence from cars is the large number of jobs that they create.Jobs in several fields open up thanks to cars,such as jobs in car factories,gas stations and highways. This is a huge positive influence on society because they greatly reduce the unemployment rate.

At the same time,the problems that cars cause seem to be more and more serious.A mass use of cars is bound to have some negative consequences.The widespread use of cars has led to serious traffic jams in cities.They have resulted in a reduction in the use of public transportation in many cities.The need to use and develop public transportation has been much discussed and confirmed.And also,car accidents create a number of injuries and deaths. There are hundreds of thousands of them worldwide every year.Gas let out from the engines of cars pollutes the air in cities around the world.Air pollution creates serious health problems and causes many people to die from it.It has become one of the most serious problems today.Efforts to develop pollution-free engines may be the final solution to this problem.

In conclusion,people should not only enjoy the benefits of cars,but also aim to deal with the problems cars have created.At the same time,the government should improve city traffic systems,encourage people to use public transportation,make efforts to improve road safety and encourage the usage of fuels that are low in pollutants.Only in these ways can the benefits of cars outweigh their harmfulness.
