24、elfie stick to snap shots of you and your crew, you could use a new pocket-size drone"AirSelfie"to help you remotely capture aerial photos and videos.The AirSelfie is the brainchild of Italian entrepreneur Edoardo Stroppiana, who came up with the idea in 2014. "AirSelfie is specifical

25、ly designed and produced for people who used to think drone cameras are extremely complicated to use too expensive and bulky," Stroppiana said.The AirSelfie is equipped with a 5-megapixel camera that can shoot full high-definition (HD) 1080p video, as well as a 4GB microSD card. Using the AirSe

26、lfie, people, groups and companies can take pictures of themselves, their backgrounds and their projects from distances, heights and angles that they never could using their arms or a stick, Stroppiana said. The drone's four rotors help it fly up to 65 feet (20 meters) in the air. The flying cam

27、era measures only about 3.72 by 2.65 by 0.42 inches (9.45 by 6.73 by 1.07 centimeters) "smaller than a smartphone," Stroppiana said and weighs 1.83 ounces (52 grams).The drone uses sonar to measure its altitude and keeps itself stable with the help of a tiny extra camera to monitor its sur

28、roundings for signs of jitter. It is also equipped with gyroscopes, barometers and geomagnetic sensors that help it navigate as it flies, said AirSelfie Holdings Ltd. in London, the company that Stroppiana co-founded in 2016 to manufacture the drone.The AirSelfie is controlled via a free iOS or Andr

29、oid app. The app can make the drone take off; adjust its height and direction; let it hover autonomously; and help users take an HD aerial shot or video with just a push of a button. Users can also activate a 10-second timer, giving people enough time to hide their phones so they don't appear in

30、 the picture or video. The drone can take up to eight consecutive shots, the company said.The AirSelfie uses Wi-Fi to send photos and videos wirelessly to smartphones. The app also allows users to post photos and videos taken with the drone immediately on social media.After snapping photos, the dron

31、e can return to its departure point automatically with the touch of a button. Users can also guide the AirSelfie back manually, and its manufacturers said it is safe for the drone to land on a person's open hand, or even for people to grab the drone while it is still hovering in midair.A recharg

32、eable lithium polymer battery gives the AirSelfie a flight time of 3 minutes, according to the company. An accessory known as the Power Bank slips over the AirSelfie like a smartphone case, and can recharge the drone in 30 minutes. The Power Bank can hold 20 such charges before it needs to be rechar

33、ged, the company said. Users can also recharge the AirSelfie directly with a micro-USB cable.The company said it developed a fully functioning prototype in August. On Nov. 17, the company launched a Kickstarter campaign to make the AirSelfie available via preorder, and it met its $47,714 goal in les

34、s than three days. The campaign, which is scheduled to end Dec. 24, has raised more than $500,000 from more than 2,300 backers. In addition, the company has received $3 million from private angel investors in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and China, Stroppiana said.The first preorde

35、red drones are scheduled for delivery in March. The drone is expected to hit the market in 2017 for a retail price of $300.58. Choose an item from A, B, C or D to complete the following process:use the app to makethe drone take off_to shoot pictures send pictures to smart phonespost photos on social

37、 of themselves.60. The author of this passage seems to believe the AirSelfie drone is _. A. expensiveB. energy-savingC. environmentally friendly D. promisingCA common sight in malls, in pizza parlors, in Starbucks, and wherever else American teens hang out: three or four kids, hooded, gathered aroun

38、d a table, leaning over like monks or druids, their eyes fastened to the smartphones held in front of them. Looking at them, you can envy their happiness. You can also find yourself wishing them immersed in a different kind of happinessin a superb book or a series of books, in the reading obsession

39、itself! You should probably keep on wishing.Its very likely that teen-agers, attached to screens of one sort or another, read more words than they ever have in the past. But they often read scraps, excerpts, articles, parts of articles, messages, pieces of information from everywhere and from nowher

40、e. Its likely that they are reading fewer books. Yes, millions of kids have read Harry Potter, “The Lord of the Rings,” “The Hunger Games,” and other fantasy and dystopian fictions; also vampire romance, graphic novels (some very good), and young-adult novels. Yet what happens as they move toward ad

41、olescence? When they become twelve or thirteen, kids often stop reading seriously. The boys veer off into sports or computer games, the girls into friendship in all its wrenching mysteries and satisfactions of favor and exclusion. Much of their social life, for boys as well as girls, is now conducte

42、d on smartphones, where teen-agers dont have to confront one another. The terror of eye contact! If kids are avoiding eye contact, they are avoiding books even more. Work by the Pew Research Center and other outfits have confirmed that few late teen-agers are reading many books. A recent summary of

43、studies cited by Common Sense Media indicates that American teen-agers are less likely to read “for fun” at seventeen than at thirteen. The category of reading “for fun” is itself a little depressing, since it divides reading into duty (for school) and gratification (sitting on a beach towel), as if

44、 the two were necessarily opposed. My own observation, after spending a lot of time talking to teen-agers in recent years: reading anything serious has become a chore, like doing the laundry or prepping a meal for a kid brother. Or, if its not a chore, its just an activity, like swimming or shopping

45、, an activity like any other. Its not something that runs through the rest of their lives. In sum, reading has lost its privileged status. Often, they look at you blankly when you ask them what they are reading on their own.Of course, these kids are very busy. School, homework, sports, jobs, clothes

46、, parents, brothers, sisters, half brothers, half sisters, friendships, love affairs, hanging out, music, and, most of all, screenscompared with all of that, reading a book is a weak, petulant claimant on their time. Reading frustrates their smartphone sense of being everywhere at once. Being unconn

47、ected makes them anxious and even angry. “Books smell like old people,” I heard a student say in New Haven.I know that reading literature, history, science, and the rest of the liberal-arts canon helps produce three-dimensional human beings. But how is a taste for such reading created in the first p

48、lace? Infants held in their parents arms, told stories, and read to will not remember the images or the words, but they will likely remember the warmth and comfort associated with books and conversation, especially when the experience is repeated hundreds of times. The luckiest of the children fall

49、out of parents arms into preschool. In the good ones, books are read aloud, valued, expounded, held up for kids to enjoy. The rest of American children arrive at school in kindergarten and are then, for thirteen years, either nurtured or betrayed by teachers.61. Why does the author mention Harry Pot

50、ter in the second paragraph?A. To show that teenagers dont read seriously.B. To show smart phones are more attractive to teenagers.C. To prove that Harry Potter series are popular among teenagers.D. To prove that sports, computer games and friendship are more valuable.62. In what way does serious re

51、ading resemble a chore to teenagers?A. Swimming and shopping are similar activities.B. Reading books will teach teenagers to be polite.C. Reading can be divided into duty and gratification.D. Serious reading is no longer teenagers life-long hobby.63. According to the author, teachers should encourag

52、e students to read seriously by _.A. assigning students less homeworkB. developing their love for readingC. taking reading as a privileged status.D. associating books with warmth and comfort64. The best title for this passage is _.A. Books smell like old peopleB. smart phones VS serious readingC. Do

53、 teens read seriously any more?D. Educating 3 dimensional human beings DThe eyeliner makes the dark circles less visible. The lip gloss hides the trembling. The ponytail hides missing patches of hair. The Abercrombie sweater covers bruises. I might look at bit thinner, but everyone will ask about my

54、 new diet. My hair might not shine the way it used to, but the pink ribbon will distract curious eyes. One hour of preparation and I look like myself. One hour of preparation and no one will know. One hour out of 24. Sometimes I wonder if its worth it wasting a twenty-fourth of my day on a lie. But

55、then I see my wispy hair and baggy eyes, and I have to do it.Checking my makeup one last time, I push my sleeves up, though not past my elbows. I slip on a cute pair of flat shoes heels are too dangerous with shaky legs and grab my Hollister bag. Padding downstairs, I breathe in the scent of waffles

56、 and syrup. “Morning, Mom,” I call.“Morning, baby,” she chirps. “Did you sleep well?”“Better than I have been.”She sighs, and her eyes look a hundred years old for a minute. “Any improvement is good,” she says half-heartedly.“Of course.”“I made waffles.” Her offering.“Thanks, Mom. Smells delicious.”

57、 My offering.I sit at the table and she hands me a plate. The thought of all that food turns my stomach, but I force a smile and thank my mother again. She busies herself at the sink and fills the silence with chatter. When she turns around, she takes in the waffles still on my plate, only missing a few bites. I smile apologetically.“Im not very hungry this morning.”“Youll need your strength for this afternoon.” She bites her lip. She doesnt lik
