from the Old French word“disnar”,1.in fact means“breakfast”.So 2.did this word come to have a different meaning?3.(tradition),dinner(what we now refer to as breakfast)was the first meal of the

Zhao Yishen bends over,his eyes staring at the woodblock(木刻印版).Holding a chisel(凿子)in his right hand,he guides it forward carefully and exactly across the woodblock using his left hand.To carve the woodblocks,the young craftsman has to hold this position for six hours.He has been carving woodblocks since 2012.“It feels good and looks beautiful when a Chinese character slowly appears on the woodblock under your chisel,”says Zhao.Zhao is now the only full-time carver working at the Zhuyu Shanfang studio,a workshop that focuses on creating woodblock-printed books in Beijing.Each carved woodblock has ink applied and goes on to print a text onto hundreds of pieces of paper.Zhao carves around 20 Chinese characters each day,which means it takes him one year or even a longer time to complete a set of woodblocks fit for a whole book.As a teenager he loved to read ancient Chinese books in the library,and the curiosity of how the books were made led him to get a job at the Guangling Guji ancient books woodblock printing studio in Yangzhou,Jiangsu Province,in 2011 after graduating as a law major from college.Block printing was listed as a UNESCO World Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2009.Zhao was introduced to one of the techniques masters,Chen Yishi,in 2012 and started to learn the skill from him.In Zhaos mind,the inked woodblock is a work of art.After a year of learning from Chen,Zhao found a job at Zhuyu Shanfang in 2013,where he upgraded his carving skills.With his progress,his carved woodblocks have been used for more and more books over the past years.5 “I have just

new study suggests.Toys sleepover programs are designed to get children interested in books.Children take their toys to a library for the night.At this point,workers and volunteers take photos of the toys which explore the library and read books.The next day,the children collect their toys and the photos of what the toys did during the night.They are given the books their toys chose to read.It was found that before the sleepover the children did not spend time looking at the books in their play area at preschool.Immediately after the sleepover,the number of children who read to the toys was higher than the number who did not,but after three days the effect decreased gradually.The researchers also tested a method for sustaining the effect.They reminded the children of the sleepover a month later,by hiding the toys and showing them the photos again the next day.This simple method brought an increase in the number of children reading to their toys.The study proves for the first time that children who take part in sleepover programs read picture books to their toys more.“We wanted to know if there really was an effect,and if so,how long it lasts.Surprisingly,not only did the children show interest in the books,but they also began to read to their toys.This means that a new behavior pattern appeared that the children hadnt had before.We did not 7 expect anything like this,”said one of the researchers.Reading is important for the development of childrens language skills and imagination.When parents read to their children,it is a passive way of reading for the child.However,when children read to their toys,it is a more active,self-directed way of reading,helping them develop into more active readers,researchers said.1.What is the purpose of the sleepover program?A.To develop childrens language skills.B.To help children to sleep well.C.To encourage children to read more.D.To guide children to form a good sleeping habit.2.What do children do in the sleepover program?A.Go around the library with their toys.B.Sleep with their toys.C.Read together with their toys.D.Take their toys to the library.3.The underlined word“sustaining”in paragraph 4 can be replaced by_.A.keeping B.testing C.surveying D.showing 4.What made the researchers surprised after the study of the sleepover program?A.Children showed no interest in the books.B.The effect of the sleepover program could last long.C.Children began to read to their toys on their own.D.Whether the sleepover program had an effect remained unknown.D Feel the Music Weve all heard of smart phones,but how about smart clothing?The CuteCircuit company has stepped up the technology beat and invented the SoundShirt,which was designed specifically for people who are deaf or hard of hearing.How does this incredible shirt work?First,lets talk about a little science.People who have either all or some hearing loss dont 8 actually listen to music the way that hearing people do,but they can feel it.Sound is made up of vibrations,called sound waves,which hearing people can hear through their ears with the help of the brain.Whats really cool is that deaf people sense vibrations in the part of the brain that others use for hearing!So how is this remarkable technology able to function?First,CuteCircuit had to figure out a way to send signals to the body,kind of like how you can feel when your phone vibrates in silent mode.Those connections the body can feel are called haptics,a use of technology that simulates the senses of touch and motion.The SoundShirt has tiny sensors woven into the shirt to pick up sound and transfer signals to the brain and body.To test this music-to-shirt-to-wearers brain connection,CuteCircuit set microphones around the stage of a symphony orchestra.The shirts computer system digitally received the sounds coming from the instruments.Then the sensors,working like little motors,changed the signals into vibrations and the shirt wearers brain did the rest.The SoundShirt lets people who are deaf or hard of hearing enjoy music in a unique way.The very deep musical sound,or pitch,of instruments like drums and basses vibrates in the lower part of the shirt.Higher pitched sounds from instruments like the flute or violin vibrate higher,around the neck and arms.As the music plays,the sensations combine while the brain gets to work putting together all the different vibrations,allowing the wearer to“hear”the concert.You might think this innovation(创新)would look like something out of a science fiction movie,but in fact,these shirts are wireless!And the decorative laser-lined design on the shirt looks like an image of sound waves.Technologys purpose is to help people and make life better.Think of all the amazing things designers,engineers,and producers of wearable tech will be able to do for humankind.5.Whats the passage mainly about?A.Deep musical sounds from drums vibrate in the lower part of the SoundShirt.B.The SoundShirt lets people who are deaf or hard of hearing enjoy music.C.Wearable technology like the SoundShirt is the wave of the future.D.CuteCircuit tested the SoundShirt with a symphony orchestra.6.Which of the following stat
