2、ith friends，or just being“off.”So，after a number of years，we make a change.If I can persuade you to take your own PTO，then these might help.Schedule it First of all，one of our favorite family sayings is“schedule it.”Sounds easy enough，but life gets complicated managing full-time work and full-time f

3、amily.Put yourPTO time on the calendar and you make it a real thing.Be flexible and strict If you can schedule PTO at the same time each week，then all the better.Because our calendar can get rather full，flexibility in scheduling becomes a necessity.But being strict in actually taking the time each w

4、eek is more important.Skipping it once makes it easier to skip again.Take enough time My typical PTO lasts a couple of hours or longer.Sometimes it might be half the day depending on what Im doing.The goal is to spend enough time away to1et your shoulders drop.Do what you want to do Remember，PTO tim

8、le,unique,and exquisite(精致的）。He said they shows Chinese peoples longing for the 2022 Beijing WinterOlympics in a visually appealing way and extends Chinese peoples warm invitation to friends throughout the world.The panda,named Bing Dwen Dwen,is the Olympic mascot.Colourful circles around its face s

9、ymbolize skating tracks and 5G technology,according to the website of theBeijingorganizing committee.Bing,the Chinese word for“ice“,shows purity and strength,while Dwen Dwen means sincerity,liveliness,and health,the website said.The choice of the iconic animal,considered the national treasure,is not

10、 a surprise to people inChina.While many applaud Bing Dwen Dwen for its cuteness on social media,some are not favourably impressed by the lack of creativity in choosing a panda.The giant panda was one of the five mascots of the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics,and it was also the symbol for the Asian Ga

11、mes inBeijingin 1990.“Today is an important step on a milestone inBeijings journey to make history as the first ever,in Olympic history,to host both summer and winter editions of the Olympic Games,International Olympic Committee(IOC)president Thomas Bach said at the ceremony.Based on a traditional r

17、ack,do you know how the things inside move from side to side?Now scientists havefigured out how to tap into that movement to produce electricity.Picture a pendulum(摆锤)fixed to a backpack frame and stabilized with springs on either side.The packs weight is attached to the pendulum,so the pendulum swi

18、ngs side to side as you walk.Then a machine is driven by that swinging movement,and spits out electrical current to charge a battery.Volunteers carried the pack while walking on a running machine and wore masks to measure the flow of O2and CO2.Walking with the slightly swinging 20-pound load,the dev

19、ice(设备)did not significantly affect the volunteers metabolic(新陈代谢的)rate compared to when they carried the same weight fixed in place.In fact,the energy-harvesting pack reduced the forces of acceleration theyd feel in a regular pack,which might mean greater comfort for a long hike.And the device did

20、produce a steady trickle(涓流)of electricity.If you up the load to 45 pounds,the swing of the pack could fully charge a smart phone only after 12 hours.The details are in the journal Royal Society Open Science.The device produces electricity from human movement and has been identified as a workable so

21、lution to providing a renewable energy source for portable electronic devices.It is particularly useful for those who work in remote areas,as these people often carry a lot of weight in a backpack for their exploration.But heres a realconundrum:the energy-harvesting device currently weighs five poun

22、ds.The researchers say thats about four pounds too many to be a smart alternative to batteries.So they hope that more research lets them lighten the load,to ensure the pack charges you up without weighing you down.8.What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A.How the device works.B.What the device loo

23、ks like.C.Who the device is designed for.D.Why scientists designed the device.9.Which of the following describes the device?A.It greatly affected the volunteers metabolic rate.B.It harvested energy as the volunteers walk.C.It failed to produce steady electricity.D.It was useless for a long walk.10.W

25、et.D Imagine that youare a superhero.Your superpowers are activated by a special suit.The suit communicates with your brain.It allows you to do amazing things with only a thought.By concentrating on strength,for example,you can kick a soccer ball across a field.By focusing on swift actions,you can j

26、ump to the top of a tree.Such a connection between mind and machine may sound like a fantasy.To scientists,though,it is a very real goal.They are creating machines that let disabled monkeys walk.These machines may soon help disabled humans do the same.Unlike other bionic devices,these robotic“super

27、suits”do not communicate with muscles and nerves.Instead,they have a direct line to the brain.In 2005,doctors drilled a hole in the skull of Hutchinson,who had lost her right arm in an accident.Then they inserted a sensor onto her motor cortex(大脑皮层运动区).Wires connected the sensor to a receiver on her

28、 head.After she recovered,researchers pluggedHutchinsons receiver into a cable that relayed signals from her brain to computers.Then they connected a robotic arm to the computers.The computerscould interpretHutchinsons brain signals to move the arm.Soon,Hutchinson,the computer,and the robotic arm be

29、came a team.Hutchinsonwas even able to lift her hand and drink from a cup.“She smiled when she put down that drinkthats everything.”says Donoghue,a brain scientist.Today other scientists are building on that success.One of those scientists is Dr.Miguel Nicolelis,who designed a whole-body bionic equi

30、pment.In 2014,a disabled former athlete kicked the first ball of the World Cup Games wearing one of Miguels full-body exoskeletons.The exoskeleton was connected to brain signal sensors in the mans cap.By thinking about kicking,he sent signals to a computer on his back.The computer then translated th

31、e signal into an exoskeleton-aided kick.Such designs may become common as scientists keep merging mind and machine.12.Which can best describe the tone of paragraph 1?A.Narrative and serious.B.Persuasive and critical.C.Informative and objective.D.Descriptive and imaginative.13.What is paragraph 3 mai

32、nly about?A.Reason of the experiment.B.Results of the experiment.C.Process of the experiment.D.Significance of the experiment.14.Why is Dr.Miguels exoskeleton special?A.It can be used on animals.B.It can move the whole body.C.It was supported by computers.D.It was connected directly to the brain.15.

33、What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.Robotic suits may be widely used to help disabled people.B.Exoskeleton is more common thanHutchinsons bionic arm.C.Scientific experiments are commonly carried out in football fields.D.Disabled athletes can now play football again with the help of comput
