2.The cracked (有裂縫的) step four years ago was the start of it.That day,I awoke tired-the children were tiny and needing so much-and I had a golden afternoon of rest ahead,my mother stepping in to allow me to catch up on my sleep.I dropped them off and drove home-the sun shining and my bed signaling.As I was about to enter the house,I caught sight of a deep crack beneath my feet.
Without thinking,I turned around,walked back to the car and drove to a DIY store.Four hours later,I had all the tools,had mixed my own cement (水泥),filled in the crack and repaired the foundation.Perfect.As I stood up to take a photo of my handiwork,I realized that I was trembling.I'd forgotten my shot at a nice long nap,and my children were already on their way home.
That sleep…that promise to self was broken,because I had focused,instead,on the crack in the step.
Suddenly,everything started to hurt.My head,my throat,my back.I couldn't stop shaking.What earned then is that when we break the promises we make to our bodies they will not be silenced.This is when we overwork and overthink to the point of breaking down.Ironically (諷刺地),for many of us,it is only when we have no choice- when we fall ill-that we learn to listen.For me,when that crack ended in a hospital stay which sent me to bed for two unmoving weeks while my body worked to clear two different infections,the lesson is ever present.I did it to myself-a whole twisted spin on DIY.
Sadly it took another two ridiculous DIY projects to finally get through.The cracks will never be fully filled.Focus,then,on your own inner core the feeding of that light,that fire and that strength.

3.Large gatherings such as weddings and conferences can be socially overwhelming.Pressure to learn people's names only adds to the stress.A new facial-recognition app could come to the rescue,but privacy experts recommend proceeding with caution.
The app,called SocialRecall,connects names with faces via smartphone cameras and facial recognition,potentially avoiding the need for formal introductions. "It breaks down these social barriers we all have when meeting somebody," says Barry Sandrew,who created the app and tested it at an event attended by about 1,000 people.
After receiving an invitation to download SocialRecall from an event organizer,the user is asked to take two selfies and sign in via social media.At the event,the app is active within a previously defined geographical area.When a user points his or her phone camera at an attendee's face,the app identifies the individual,displays the person's name,and links to his or her social media profile.To protect privacy,it recognizes only those who have agreed to participate.And the app's creators say it automatically deletes users' data after an event.
Ann Cavoukian,a privacy expert who runs the Privacy by Design Center of Excellence praises the app's creators for these protective measures.She cautions,however,that when people choose to share their personal information with the app,they should know that "there may be unintended consequences down the road with that information being used in another context that might come back to bite you."
The start-up has also developed a version of the app for individuals who suffer from prosopagnosia,or "face blindness," a condition that prevents people from recognizing individuals they have met.To use this app,a person first acquires an image of someone's face,from either the smartphone's camera or a photograph,and then tags it with a name.When the camera spots that same face in real life,the previously entered information is displayed.The collected data are stored only on a user's phone,according to the team behind the app.
(1)SocialRecall is used to
A.take photos
B.identify people
C.organize events
D.make friends
(2)Paragraph 3 is mainly about
A.how the app works
B.how the app was created
C.what makes the app popular
D.what people can do with the app
(3)SocialRecall helps people with prosopagnosia by
A.giving names to the photos kept in their smartphones
B.collecting information previously entered in the phone
C.providing the information of a person when they first meet
D.showing the person's information when it spots a stored face
(4)What can we learn about SocialRecall from the passage?
A.It may put people's privacy at risk.
B.It has caused unintended consequences.
C.It can prevent some communication disorders.
D.It is praised by users for its protective measures.組卷:0引用:1難度:0.6

My father asked me to chat with him for a while.Actually,I was unwilling to listen to his talking endlessly as he always did.My father was a lawyer(律師),but I never wanted to go to law school or follow his path through life.
As we expected,he cleared his throat and started to say, "Er…What…What do you really want to do in the gorgeous future?"
I was silent for a moment playing with the cell phone.I kept thinking, "Should I tell him my true thoughts?What if he gets angry?What if I let him down?" later I replied, "well,I want to be a writer."
I guessed this may be not the answer he would expect.But surprisingly, "Interesting idea!" he answered.I was shocked,speaking in a low voice with hesitation.
"Are you serious,dad?"
"Well,you need confidence and good preparations,and you still have plenty of time.You need to find out what you really enjoy now.Look,it's late.Let's take the boat out tomorrow morning,just you and me.Maybe we can catch some crabs(螃蟹) for dinner,and we can talk more."
Early next morning we packed up (打包)the equipment and set off along the coasts We didn't talk much,but enjoyed the sound of the seabirds and the sight of the coastline.
There were no big waves and blinding sunlight at that time. "Let's see if we get lucky," he said,picked up a web basket with a rope tied and threw it into the sea.We waited a while,then my father stood up and said, "Give me a hand with this." and we pulled up the crab cage onto the deck(甲板).To our joy,the cage was filled with dozens of soft shell crabs.Squatting(蹲) down,we watched them for a moment.At first they fought against each other to climb out hard,trying to escape.Many were pulled back into the cage.Later,some gave up,but there are still some crabs trying to escape again and again.
