Many homes have cameras to protect them from danger. The cameras can tell the owners if someone has entered. But the cameras do not know whether the person is a family member, a friend, a postman or a criminal (罪犯).

But a new camera made by a French company can recognize (辨別出) faces. It can tell parents at work that their children have returned from school, or that the mail has been sent to their home. It can also tell them if a stranger has entered their home. When family members enter a home, the smart camera “recognizes” them and sends information to the owner’s phone. The owner can choose to see the video then or later. But if an unknown person enters a home, the camera will send a warning sound on the owner’s phone.

This is what happened recently to a smart home camera owner named Damien. He lives in Paris.

“On a Friday I was at work, having a big monthly meeting when my phone moved. At first I told myself ‘Oh, it must be a wrong warn,’ but my phone was telling me there was a face that the camera did not recognize. Something was happening in my house!”

“I saw a person I did not know with his shoes on, which is not allowed in my apartment (公寓). I watched it on the video. I felt quite surprised. I hurried back home as fast as possible and called the police on the way. Thanks to the smart camera, the criminal was caught soon,” said Damien.

1.The new smart camera is different from the ones in many homes because it can _________.

A. protect the owner B. help a school child

C. recognize faces D. call the police

2. In Damien’s apartment, people can’t _______.

A. wear shoes B. watch videos

C. have cameras D. send mails

3. If we put the passage into three parts, which of the following is the best?

(1=Para. (自然段)1 2 = Para. 2 3 = Para. 3 4 = Para. 4 5 = Para. 5)

A. ①;②③;④⑤ B. ①;②;③④⑤

C. ①②③;④;⑤ D. ①②;③④;⑤

4. The best title of the passage may be “_______”.

A. Catching Criminals in a Better Way

How much do you know about Albert Einstein?

Albert Einstein, born on March 14, 1579 in Germany, was a great scientist in the world. He was strange because he hated haircuts and new clothes. He believed in peace. All his life, he hated war. However, his most famous idea, E＝mc2, helped create the world's most dangerous weapon(武器). Many people think he was the smartest person in the world. But Einstein said that he thought like a child with many questions and unusual ideas.

What did he like?

Einstein liked learning sailing(帆船運(yùn)動(dòng)). He sailed in small boats all his life. He once joked, “Sailing is the sport that takes the least energy！”

When Einstein was a child, his mother made him take violin lessons. At first, he didn't like the violin. But then he learned to love music and became a good violinist. Later, he said, “Love is the best teacher.”

Why is the sky blue?

In 1910, Einstein asked a question which many children often ask, “Why is the sky blue？” After his careful research, he answered the question like this: “It's because light is made up of many colors including blue. When light travels to Earth, gas particles(氣體微粒)spread the blue light all over the sky.” His answer is true in physics.

A. clever B. imaginative C. childlike D. energetic

She said，“You are not the only lonely person．There are others that are alone．Tomorrow I want you to look around the lunchroom to see if you see other people eating by themselves．1 want you to go to one of them and ask if you can join him or her．”

Well，the next day，I did look around and asked the first person who was already sitting alone．The young girl was very happy．I shared my story with the girl and the next day we met for lunch and found some other people who were alone and also knew no one．This began a very interesting approach(靠近) to life．

The lessons that I learned from that experience have stayed with me all my life．I have few problems approaching new people at a gathering(聚會(huì))．I learned that I am not alone．I could reach out to others．Most people are just like you and me．We all want to be noticed，to get a little attention，and to have someone be interested in listening to us．

If you want to have a friend，you must be a friend !
