I'd never seen or heard of any.hmg that grew that fast,and,he idea of bui,din8 的 online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me* I had just turned 30 years old, and I’d been married for a year. I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldn't work since most start-ups didn’t.

As a young boy. I’d been a garage inventor. I'd always wanted to be an inventor, and she wanted me to follow my passion.

tening carefully to me,and finally said,“That sounds like a really good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who hasn't a good job. ” That logic made some sense to me,and he me to think about “That logic made some sense to me,and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decistion. Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice, but ultimately, I decided I had to give it a shot.I didn't
think I’d regret trying and failing. And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all.
After much consideration,I took the less safe path to follow my passion, and I'm proud of that choice which has brought much surprise to me. For all of us. in the end. we are our choice.

Many people traveled to Las Vegas. Nevada for the 50th Consumer Electronics Show, or The 2019 show had many examples of smart home devices. Smart home technology is de signed to make life easier for people by letting computers control many things inside our homes.
One such device actually begins working outside the home, when someone arrives and rings the doorbell. You may get informed even when you are halfway around the world that someone comes And you can unlock the door for them very easily.
Another use of smart home technology is being able to watch what is taking place in your home wherever you are. Devices can even let homeowners look in on dogs* cats or other pets when they are away.
For heating or cooling, there is a smari thermostat (温控器) This device can also send you a message if a big storm causes leaks or flooding. “We're trying to catch it with just a few drops before it becomes a real
big problem .” said Mike Sale of iDeviccs.
While most of the devices can be controlled from anywhere, they also work in the same way when you are at home. Some devices,like Amazon's Echo and Google Home, even let you use voice commands to talk to them. A concern for many homeowners is the possibility that someone else might find a way to attack these smart home devices. An official from Vivint said his company is sure that only owners of the home can gain use of information on the devices. Warren Katz from iDevices said his company employs enpnneers from the defense industry to help prevent hacking. “They’ve spent time working on the Patriot Missile, and we spend an awful lot of time ensuring that our products are both safe and safe from attack. ”
Many of these devices at the CES were available before,but now they communicate better and can learn to repeat behavior and habits. All of them can be bought separately many for less than $ 100. With such devices, our future homes will become homes thinking for themselves.
28. What advantage does the smart thermostat have?
A. It can unlock the door easily. B. It can care for pets carefully.
C.It can predict weather changes. D. It can prevent storm and flood.
29. Which smart home device can people talk with? A. Amazon s Echo. B. The smart thermostat. C; The products of Vivint. D. The device outside houses.

A. By training safety engineers. B. By protecting their infonmtion from attack.

B. Some companies producing smart home devices. C. The reason for developing smart home technology. D. Some examples of smart home devices.

Sodium (钠)consumption is linked to raised blood pressure and stroke,but these effects don’t occur
often in countries like Canada,where people tend to have a higher salt intake (吸入) research from McMaster University in Canada found.
Too low levels of sodium can actually lead to more heart attacks and deaths according to the findings. The research suggests a diet that includes an amount of sodium between 3 to 5 grams per day, may help keep heart health. “Our bodies need essential nutrients like sodium. but the question is how much.w Andrew Mente, a professor at the institution in Canada,said in a statement.
The World Health Organization recommends taking in sodium at 5 grams a day to reduce blood pressure. The American Heart Association suggests even more limited consumption of salt recommending no more than 2. 3 grams per day.
“No nation has ever succeeded in meeting either of these guidelines.” the authors of the study said. And their research shows that it might not be necessary to cut down on salt in countries like the United Kingdom and the United States.
The study looked at more than 90*000 people in 21
countries. It reported blood pressure and
cardiovascular (心血管的)outcomes based on estimated sodium and potassium intake calculated from fasting urine samples. Study subjects were followed for an average of 8 years.
The researchers observed an increased
cardiovascular risk only in the communities where the average intake was more than 5 grams per day. But only about 5 percent of people in developed countries have sodium intake over this amount‘ The study found that there was no increase in risk in those who consumed between 3 to 5 grams per day.
“Our study adds to growing evidence to suggest that* at moderate intake sodium may have a beneficial role in cardiovascular health, but a potentially more harmful role when intake is very high or very low. This is the relationship we would expect for any essential nutrient and health,” Mente said.
32. How much sodium should we take in every day according to the study?
A. Less than 2.3 grams. B. As much as 2.3 grams. C.About 4 grams. D. More than 5 grams.
33. What can be inferred from the text?
A. There was no one else to help Mente carry out the research.
B.Most people in the USA may take in .sodium at no more than 5 grams a day.
C. There is an exact number for people to obey when they take in sodium.
D. People in the UK who take in sodium every day have no high blood pressure.
34. Which can replace the underlined word “moderate” in the last paragraph?
A. reasonable B. plentiful C.minimum D. changeable 35. What may be the best title for the text? A. Scientists should do more research on &odium B. We should take in sodium as little as possible C.Salt cannot play a key role in people’s health D.Salt might not be all that bad for your health 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)

Deciding whether to lend money to a friend or family member is tough. 36 ,but meanwhile you wonder if it
is really a good idea to lend money to this person. The two main things to remember when you’re deciding whether or not to lend money are to think before you do it and not to lend money that you need yourself. First, realize that you don't need to feel guilty if you don’t want to lend your money to anyone even a friend or relative. If there is a reason behind the guilt,for example they did something for you and helped you out when you needed it,then you may really want to lend them money. 37 .
However,if you are low on money yourself, you simply may not be in the position to lend money. _38_. If something happens and your friend or family member can't pay back the money ,you've put yourself in a dangerous position.A friend or relative that cares about you should underhand that and no, make you feel prepared to lend money to him or her.
39 .Whether it’s your sister or the best friend you've known for decades, a dear agreement signed by both parties is important. It's not a matter of trust, but a clear under-standing of what is expected. The agreement should have dates and specific counts for
repayment.
Many financial experts say .hat the only circumstance in which . person should ever lend money,is that they really don't need the funds and really won't expect the money back,Otherwise the lender is at risk.40 .A single mom struggling etween paychecks is is one thing,while money needed to buy a big-screen TV is a totally different thing.
A.You can decide how to spend your money
B. You can also decide on the reason for the money C. Some,imes you want to help a person you care about D. If you have the money and want to do it,then you can do it
E.You really should never lend the money that you need yourself
F.If you decide 10 lend money, be sure to write up an agreemem
