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 (辨别出) 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. 34. 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 35. In Damien’s apartment, people can’t _______.

A. wear shoes B. watch videos C. have cameras D. send mails

Is it difficult for you to remember things? I'd like to tell you some ways to improve your memory so you shouldn’t feel upset．

My first advice is that if you want to remember something well，you have to review it regularly(有规律地)．You might review the material two days after you 1earn it，then a week 1ater，then two weeks later，and then a month later．After fl month you will find that you can easily remember the material． My second advice is to use a coloured pen to highlight(标注)the important parts on your book．This will help you in two days．First，it will help you pay attention to the most important parts when you learn the language．It is always easier to remember only the key points．Second，this will make reviewing easier．When you open your book，the coloured parts will show you the most important things quickly．In this way，you don’t have to review all the material again．

Another piece of advice is to use the proper time well．First，review all the information in your mind right before you go to sleep．Your brain is working while you are sleeping．If you think about the information before you go to sleep，you might be able to remember it better．Another good time for memorizing information is in the morning because you have just rested and your brain is fresh and clear．So you might also try to review the important information in the morning． 38．How many pieces of advice does the writer give? 39．What is the good time review information?

40．If you have a poor memory，will you go to see a doctor? Why or why not? 五、词汇检测(每小题1分，共10分)

Hello，everyone! It’s a great honor to give a speech here．I’d like to tell you something about my friend Li Lei. He likes playing football and he also likes computer games. To get good grades he often cheats in the exams As a result he gradually falls behind other students. What’s worse he isn’t trusted by others.

So I think we should be honest in the exams. And it’s important to do homework by ourselves.We ought to tell the truth and be honest students. If we promise to do something we'd better try our best to keep the promise.

That’s all．Thank you for listening!
