21、The Internet of Things (IoT) has become especially important as our daily life and business have become more complex, from bill payment to healthcare issues, where we have gradually explored deeper into finding solutions to improving the effectiveness of processes.
According to a report by GlobalData, the global IoT market will reach up to 1.1 trillion dollars by 2024, with an annual growth rate of 13% during that period. Therefore, this area will play an important role in maintaining competition among companies.
The IoT is a digital interconnection of everyday objects with the Internet. The IoT allows The IoTis a digital interconnection of everyday objects with the Internet. The IoT allows systems to be remotely sensed and controlled through the existing network. This enables greater integration (融合) between the physical world and computer-based systems, which represents greater efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
Among the main applications of the technology are cost optimization (最优化) tor industrial and transportation companies through remote monitoring of devices and vehicles, data collection for real-time production analysis, and tracking of final cargo (货物) delivery.
Other IoT applications are wearables, which are a set of electronic devices that are incorporated (合并) into some part of our body interacting continuously between us and other devices. Wearables represent the boom of the last few years, as they register what we eat, our heart rate, warn us if we are sick or stressed. They come in the form of smartwatches and GPS-enabled running shoes, to name a few.
On the other hand, the healthcare sector is also undergoing changes brought about by the IoT. The medical sensors market is expected to reach a turnover of $ 27. 7 billion in 2026 with a growth over the next few years of 9. 9% according to Transparency Market Research.
In this sense, IoT has come with a promise for people in their daily lives but also for investors, who consider it an excellent opportunity to invest.

22、 Danelle Ballengee, 35, was a world-class athlete who had run in over 500 long distance competitions through deserts and mountains around the world. Up ahead, Taz disappeared, but Danelle did not worry as she climbed a rocky path to the top of a ridge (山脊) near the top, her foot hit a piece of ice. She slipped over a stone and fell over a cliff (悬崖).
She was badly injured. She could swing her toes but when she tried to stand, the pain was terrible. The lower half of her body was useless.
Danelle looked at her watch. It was noon. She guessed she was three kilometers from her truck trapped in a hidden desert in winter. Then she heard Taz. He ran down from the top to meet her. Danelle remained still, her pain became less serious and she could think her way out of this trap. She would follow Taz down the path to the valley floor and crawl back to her truck.
She rolled onto her stomach. Taz went ahead of her, then back, wondering why Danelle didn’t follow him. Bearing the pain, she focused on her task.
Five hours later, Danelle reached the valley bottom, 500 meters closer to her goal, too tired. Then she noticed an ice-covered hole. She needed water to go through. She dipped her bottle into the hole, but it came out full of soil. She used the lid to slowly pick water from the surface. It took over 50 picks to get enough. She finally stopped as it was full. Danelle reached out to her and she put her arms around Taz. She fell his warmth and held on.
As the hours went on, Danelle tried to pay no attention to the pain and cold. She stared at the night sky, talked to Taz and counted the stars with him. Pain annoyed her constantly. Throughout the night, she took sips of water, realizing that if she drank too much, she would urinate and the liquid would freeze on her legs.

23、 Slowly but surely, we're moving closer to the super-fast 5C world that tech companies have been promising us for years. But do we really know it all?【1】
◆It's not quite here yet.
Though we've seen a lot of positive progress, we still have a long way to go before 5G is anywhere near as available as 4G is right now. But most in the industry agree that 2020 is the earliest when 5G will ever begin to touch most consumers. And even then, early 5G networks could come with their fair share of growing pains.【2】
◆It's not going to be cheap.
【3】Some companies haven't commented on specific pricing yet, but, as most have pointed out, data costs have historically climbed as network speeds increase. There's little reason to think that trend won't continue. It's not all bad news, though. Experts are optimistic that data prices will come down in the long run once 5G starts to be widely available. But it's impossible to say how long that change could take.
◆【4】
It's obvious that 5G networks will bring fast data connections. However, part of its appeal is that it makes It's obvious that 5G networks will bring fast data connections. However, part of its appeal is that it makes mobile networks better, meaning that networks can support many more data connections than what was previously possible. Have you ever been to an event where your data connection slowed down or stopped working?【5】 But 5G networks have a much higher ability to support up to a million devices per square kilometer.
A.It's really, really fast.
B.It's not just about speed.
C.Extra speed comes at a higher cost.
D.Here are three major disadvantages of 5G.
E.Let's clear out some misunderstandings about it.
F.That's because present networks can easily be overloaded.
G.Unbalanced coverage or negative effects on battery life may arise.
24、Money Matters
Parents should help their children understand money.【1】 So you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things, candy or toys, for example.
The basic function of money
Begin explaining the basic function of money by showing how people trade money for goods or services. It is important to show your child how money is traded for the things he wants to have.
If he wants to have a toy, give him the money and let him hand the money to the cashier. 【2】 When your child grows a bit older and understands the basic function of money, you can start explaining more complex ways of using money.
Money lessons
Approach money lessons with openness and honesty. 【3】 If you must say no to a child’s request to spend money, explain, “You have enough toy trucks for now.” Or, if the request is for many different things, say, “ You have to make a choice between this toy and that toy.”
【4】
Begin at the grocery store with your child. Pick out two similar brands of a product. 【5】 If he chooses the cheaper brand, allow him to make another purchase with the money saved. Later, you may explain how the more expensive choice leaves less money for another purchases.
A．Wise decisions.
B．The way of choice.
C．Permit him to choose between them.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Carter’s Surprise
Carter was riding the school bus home. The bus stopped and Dexter Fisher stepped off followed by his younger brother, Billy. As the bus drove away, Carter looked back over his shoulder to watch the boys. Dexter was shouting at his little brother and then knocked him to the ground. The poor kid was crying.
Carter turned in his seat. He felt sick. He hated seeing little kids get picked on. It just wasn’t right. The sight of Billy on the ground crying was burned into his memory. He tried to think of something else.
He thought of the model car he was working on at home. He started building it over a week ago and just finished putting it together last night. Tonight, as soon as he finished his homework, he could start painting the car. That was his favorite part. He already had the perfect color of blue picked out.
He hurried off the bus, ran through his yard, and walked through the kitchen with a quick hello to his mom. She was making dinner. It smelled delicious.
He ran up the stairs two at a time and rushed into his room.
“Surprise!” his brother Jackson said, throwing his arms into the air.
“What are you doing in my room? I thought you were sick!”
“I feel better!”
“What’s on your face? Are you bleeding (流血)?”
“No! I’m not bleeding.” Jackson wiped (擦) at his face. “It’s probably just paint. Look! Look what I did!” He pointed at the desk in the corner of Carter’s room.
Carter looked down at his desk in horror. His model car! Jackson had painted it red. A dark red that didn’t look good on a car at all. “Why would you do that?” Carter shouted.
“I wanted to surprise you!”
Carter felt his heart start to beat faster. His breath was coming faster too. Jackson was saying something to him, but Carter was so angry he couldn’t even hear. “What?” he shouted.
“Do you like it? I tried so hard. Look! Do you like it?”
