PhoneSoap: Charge and Clean Your Phone You may charge your phone every day, but do you clean your phone as much? Whatever your hands touch, your phones touch. It has been discovered that some phones have 18 times more bacteria and viruses than any surface in a public restroom. So it probably won’t surprise you that a 2011 University of London study found that one in six of our phones have bacteria and viruses on them—specifically, the bacteria called E. coli. The research on bacteria and viruses led to the invention of PhoneSoap. It is not actually liquid like dishwasher soap. It is a phone charger that uses the electromagnetic radiation used in hospitals to kill 99.9 percent of bacteria and viruses, cleaning your phone while it charges. “There are really certain types of bacteria and viruses that we should not be in touch with, and they are really on our phones,” says Wes Barnes, the PhoneSoap co-founder. It all started while his cousin and co-founder, Dan LaPorte, was in his cancer research lab at college. “He realized he got the idea of getting rid of bacteria and viruses on the phones,” said Barnes. “In the lab they used UV-C light for destroying them. He realized this would be the fastest, most powerful way to kill any bacteria and viruses living on electronic machines.” PhoneSoap looks like a little metal suitcase. Your phone rests in to charge and get cleaned at the same time. Instead of plugging your phone into the wall, you’d plug it into the PhoneSoap charger box. The process only takes a few minutes but, Barnes says, “The idea is that you can leave it in there overnight if you want to keep charging. Reflective paint keeps the light completely around the phone so it cleans the phone fully.” The co-founders spent 2013 finding the right companies and they started shipping the product in late November. By last week’s International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, PhoneSoap was all grown-up. Both co-founders have left their previous jobs and are selling PhoneSoap nonstop. “We’re shipping almost more than we can handle each day,” Barnes says. “It’s been a great adventure.” 1.We can learn from the first paragraph that ___________. A. phones can be very dirty B. phones are where bacteria are born C. most phones are attacked by bacteria D. phones store more bacteria in a restroom 2.According to the passage, PhoneSoap ___________. A. takes a whole night to kill bacteria B. deals with bacteria with radiation C. is a kind of liquid like dishwasher soap D. has to be plugged into the wall to work 3.From what Barnes said in the last paragraph, we can infer that ___________. A. PhoneSoap is in great demand now B. PhoneSoap is really hard to handle C. they can’t produce enough PhoneSoap D. they’ll make improvements to PhoneSoap 4.What’s the passage mainly about? A. Methods of cleaning phones. B. Tips on charging phones quickly. C. Soap killing harmful bacteria on phones. D. A phone charger keeping your phone clean.

British anthropologists Russell Hill and Robert Barton of the University of Durham, after studying the results of one-on-one boxing, taekwondo, Greco-Roman wrestling and freestyle wrestling matches at the Olympic Games, conclude that when two competitors are equally matched in fitness and skill, the athlete wearing red is more likely to win. Hill and Barton report that when one competitor is much better than the other, colour has no effect on the result. However, when there is only a small difference between them, the effect of colour is enough to tip the balance. The anthropologists say that the number of times red wins is not simply by chance, but that these results are statistically significant. Joanna Setchell, a primate (灵长目动物) researcher at the University of Cambridge, has found similar results in nature. She studies the large African monkeys known as mandrills. Mandrills have bright red noses that stand out against their white faces. Setchell’s work shows that the powerful males—the ones who are more successful with females—have a brighter red nose than other males. As well as the studies on primates by Setchell, another study shows the effect of red among birds. In an experiment, scientists put red plastic tings on the legs of male zebra finches and this increased the birds’ success with female zebra finches. Zebra finches already have bright red beaks (鸟喙), so this study suggests that, as with Olympic athletes, an extra flash of red is significant. In fact, researchers from the University of Glasgow say that the birds’ brightly coloured beaks are an indicator of health. Jonathan Blount, a biologist, and his colleagues think they have found proof that bright red or orange beaks attract females because they mean that the males are healthier. Nothing in nature is simple, however, because in species such as the blue footed booby, a completely different colour seems to give the male birds the same advantage with females. Meanwhile, what about those athletes who win in their events while wearing red? Do their clothes give them an unintentional advantage? Robert Barton accepts that “that is the implication” of their findings. Is it time for sports authorities to consider new regulations on sports clothing? 1.According to their research, Hill and Barton conclude that ___________. A. the colour of clothing has an effect on most sport events B. red should be the choice of colour for clothing in sports C. red plays a role when competitors are equally capable D. athletes perform better when surrounded by bright red 2.The underlined word "tip" in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ___________. A. achieve B. seek C. keep D. change 3.The example of the blue footed booby proves that ___________. A. male birds use different body parts to draw attention B. red is not the only colour to attract female birds C. blue gives female birds the same advantage D. blue can indicate how healthy a bird is

People Are People Globalization has brought different cultures together in a way unimaginable one hundred years ago. Today, Chinese, Indians, Arabs, Africans, Anglos, and Hispanics may all work in the same offices, attend the same schools or live in the same neighborhoods. 1. And our society has lately emphasized the importance of diversity. 2. Take the following old proverbs for example. Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom. —Thomas Jefferson, American President One falsehood spoils a thousand truths. —African proverb Be honest to those who are honest, and be also honest to those who are not honest. —Lao Tzu, Chinese philosopher A sacrifice is written off by a lie and the merit of devotion by an act of cheat. —Hindu saying 3. There seems to be a sort of cultural unity. We don’t wish to imply all cultures are the same. Cultural diversity is real, and people from different cultures view many situations in different ways. However, historically, different cultures seem to share many common values. They are justice, courage, patience, generosity, equality, mercy and kindness, respect for the elders, and many more. Lying and stealing appear to be wrong no matter where you go. Perhaps some cultures make room for extenuating (情有可原) circumstances more than others; perhaps cultures apply these virtues in different ways; and when values disagree, different cultures may place different levels of importance on them. 4. But both cultures may still value both. To us, it seems as if there is some sort of code of right and wrong that everyone everywhere seems to understand, regardless of culture. It is almost as if, behind all of the diversity, one finds a common understanding—a human culture, if you will—that goes beyond racial, social, and political boundaries. 5. A. All people seem to agree that we should tell the truth. B. Each value supports many more quotes from different cultures. C. As cultures rub shoulders with each other, many differences stand out. D. We want to show, however, that there is more to these cultures than diversity. E. These quotes from four separate cultures all support the same value—honesty. F. It is almost as if, despite all our differences, we are all still the same—we are just people. G. In other words, one culture may lean more toward justice and another culture more toward mercy.
