Staring lovingly at your reflection in the mirror gets old, especially if it's not a magical one that tells you you're the fairest of them all.  But what if all that time you already spend in front of a mirror could actually make you the most beautiful person in the land? Many smart mirrors already make this promise, but HiMirror is the first one you can actually buy, and it costs $ 189.  The secret comes in the form of a camera that takes pictures of your natural appearance to analyze your complexion (面色), before offering you tips on how to get better skin. I tried it out recently and was impressed by how many things it could do.

The 5. 5-pound mirror houses a 14-inch LCD screen and has a camera sitting in the middle of a ring flash, which helps light your face for better images. HiMirror takes a picture of your face every day to analyze your wrinkles, dark spots, dark circles and red spots. The idea is to track how your skin changes over time, and flag your so-called problems so you can take early measures to improve upon your skin and achieve your beauty goals. HiMirror pairs with an IOS or Android app so you can track your complexion on the go.

In addition, HiMirror will play tutorial videos on proper skin-care techniques, stream music from Spotify and show you the weather forecast and UV index for the day.  You can also tell it the types of beauty products you use, so it can determine whether they've been effective in treating your target areas. Adding a product to what the company calls your "Beauty Box" simply requires holding up its bar code to the camera and scanning it.  It's not clear yet how many brands and products this feature supports, but most big brands are recognized.

1.How does HiMirror work?

A. By making you the most beautiful person in the world.

B. By introducing some specialists to give you some help.

C. By recommending the types of beauty products to you.

D. By taking photos of your face to analyze your complexion

2.HiMirror tracks complexion with the help of____   .

A. a "Beauty Box"    B. music from Spotify

C. the weather forecast    D. an IOS Or Android app

3.The last paragraph is mainly to tell us

A. how to use HiMirror properly    B. other functions HiMirror has

C. when HiMirror goes on the market    D. the inspiration of designing HiMirror

4.What can be the best title for the text7

A. A magic mirror to make you beautiful

B. Some tips about using a smart mirror

C. A magic mirror to go on the market

D. Some reactions of using a smart mirror

Ants are troublesome, best known for itchy bites and ruining picnics.  But, a new species of crazy ant is taking over Texas. In some ways they appear to be worse than fire ants and there's no good way to stop them*  These ants move fast and are plentiful in some areas.

The crazy ants first sprang in Pearland in 2002 and have been becoming more and more of a problem ever since.“An invasion of these can be so extreme that it's hard to call it just a nuisance," University of Texas entomologist Edward LeBrun told The Austin American-tatesman.  “The ants have been known to crawl into and ruin televisions,  appliances and other electronic devices.  No one is entirely sure why," He said.

David Oi , a research entomologist at the Department of Agriculture, told The New York Times in 2013, the strange idea that the ants are actually attracted to the electricity itself can't be ruled out.

The crazy ants or Raspberry ants-yep, that's actually what they are called-are found in 23 Texas counties. The ants have very little venom(毒液), but do cause a slight sting when they bite. Mostly, though, they're a hazard to electrical equipment.

They are a relatively new species in the region and little is known about how to control or kill the population. And, unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be much that can be done about them right now. So, for the moment, the best advice is not to stay close to ant piles and groups. and hope that none make it inside to crawl around the electronics.

1.What do the ants do in Texas?

A. Bite some people.    B. Damage local crops.

C. Destroy appliances.    D. Pollute environment.

2.The underlined word "nuisance" in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to "         ”.

A. story    B. problem

C. visit    D. failure

3.When meeting with ant piles, we'd better                .

A. kill them all    B. control them

C. drive them away    D. stay away from them

4.What can we know from the text ?

A. The crazy ants first. appeared in Texas in 2013.

B. The crazy ants cause huge loss to the people in Texas.

C. The government is taking measures to deal with the ant.

D. David Oi is sure why the ants ruin electronic devices.

Teenager Christiana Tugwell and a small band of fellow school-age environmentalists have spent the past five months fighting proposals(提案) being put forward by the local developer, Countryside Residentials, to build 66 expensive separate houses in an area of woodland.  They have received support at their protest(抗议)camp from other people who want to save the wood and the wildlife it contains.  Christiana said:

"I began organizing the local campaign when I realized just how many local people were against the developments.  They were writing letters of protest to the government but this was simply not enough  So in order to p己it more pressure on the government and to raise national awareness, I started camping on the development site. I was the ring-leader and had to make some friends join me. They did not like sleeping rough and neither did I, but something had to be done. "

I even spent three nights at the camp on my own. Even though she wan-ted me home, mum was always supportive and even brought us vegetarian sausages. "

“Mum and I don't always see eye to eye on everything.  But we agree that as long as what I want to do is not completely foolish, she lets me do it.  She worries about possible violence from the people trying to drive us away and so do L I don't want to worry her, but stopping the development is more important. "
