A new camera made by a company named Netatmo has facialrecognition software(识别系统)that can tell parents at work that their children have returned from school,or that a package has been taken to their home.It can also tell them if a stranger has entered their home.Janina Mattausch is a product marketing manager for Netatmo.

“The commonsecurity (安全)cameras at present are not that smart.So,they can tell you if something is moving but they don’t necessarily know if it’s a human being or,if it’s your kids—they don’t know the difference,so they will warn you all the time.”

When family members enter a home,the new camera “recognizes”them and sends information to the owner’s smartphone.The owner can choose to see the video then or later.But if an unknown person enters a home,the camera will send the owner a warning that will cause an alarm to sound on the owner’s smartphone.

That is what happened recently to a smart home camera owner named Damien.He lives in Paris.

“On a Friday I was at work,attending a big monthly meeting when my phone warned.At first I told myself‘Oh,it must be a mistake,maybe I have to set the system again,but the notice on my phone was telling me that there was a movement in my flat and also a face that the software did not recognize.”

He watched the video and was very surprised by what he saw.

“I saw a person I did not know with his shoes on.I was watching it live on video.So I felt totally unbelievable,frozen.I asked a workmate to take me back home as fast as possible and I called the police on the way.”

With the help of the video,the police found theintruder(闯入者)later that day.

Smog(雾霾)is a of the hot subjects these years.It does great harm to people’s health.The most terrible smog lasted for about a week in February,2014.It covered 15 percent of the land in northern and central China.

Now,more and more people in China have realized the importance of protecting the environment.They try to save energy by walking or riding to work in their daily life.Cities including Beijing and Shanghai have taken action by controlling the number of cars and closing heavily polluting factories.

Beijing is heavily polluted,so it’s not easy to see blue skies there.But during theAPECsummit(亚太经合会议峰会)in November,Beijing saw blue skies for a few days.People happilycall it the“APEC blue”.

“I hope the APEC blue will last,and I believe it will,because China put great efforts into reducing pollution.”Said President Xi hoping during the summit.

The two large countries,China and the USA,produce about 45 percent of the world’s greenhouse gasses (温室气体).On November 12,Presidents Xi Jinping and Obama announced that both countries would work together to cut downCO2emissions（二氧化碳的排放）.The goal needs everyone’s effort.

26.How long did the most terrible smog in China in February,2014?

27.How do more and more Chinese people help save energy in their daily life?

28.Why is difficult for Beijing to see blue skies?

29.When was the APEC summit held in Beijing?

30.What would China and the USA work together to do?

六、阅读短文，根据短文内容，在表格中填入相应信息。（每空不超过三个单词）

How do you feel when you have to make a speech in front of the class or when you go to a birthday party?Do you get really shy?

Shyness means feeling nervous or frightened when you’re around other people.Experts have found that more than 80 percent middle school students feel afraid to be the center of attention.Some kids are born shy.Some become shy later because of their life experiences.

It’s OK if it takes you a while to feel yourself again when you go to a new place or meet new people.In fact,everybody gets a little shy sometimes.It’s just a cause of how much.

Most people have red faces and talk in broken sentences when they get shy.But some become so shy that they won’t go to a restaurant because they are too nervous to order and pay for the food.Some are afraid of meeting new people,so they seldom go outside.This kind of shyness can be bad for a person.

If being shy doesn’t stop you from doing something you want to do,it isn’t a very big problem.Some experts say shy people are cleverer because they think more and talk less.Shy people are also good at working with others because they think more for other people.Some great people in history were shy,too.

You see,being shy isn’t all bad.

But remember not to let good opportunities pass by just because of it!If you have to sing a song at a birthday party or practice your spoken English in front of others,just do it!There’s nothing to be afraid of.
