Have you ever wished you could speak a foreign language without taking classes? Have you ever had
language barriers while travelling abroad? Meet Enence ---a Japanese high-tech invention that allows you to
communicate in more than 40 languages.
What Are We Talking About?
Enence is a state-of-the-art Japanese technology which instantly records and translates over 40 languages,
which makes communication easy and fast. You can use it when travelling, for business meetings or whenever you
wish to say something in a different language. With Enence, you can instantly communicate in almost any
frequently-used language in the world!

By the time I took Kicker home，I was living in a van（旅居房车），so he was thrown into van life from
day one. At this point, I knew how to make him an outgoing and adaptable dog, and my life was far more
adventurous than it had been...
Right out of the gate, I took him to ski touring, which is a lot like cross-country skiing but in wilder terrain.
At first， Kicker would just stay nestled（依偎）in my jacket, but as he got stronger, he would run on his own
for a little while before I carried him again.
We also went on some winter camping adventures in the high peaks of the Uinta Mountains, and we tried
snow kiting. He ran around while I skied. He learned to speed-fly and kiteboard. One time he vomited（呕吐）all
over the new cushions on my bed. Boy, did that stay smelly for days! Still, living in a van with a dog was great.
With each new day, he got stronger and more independent.
I had dreamed of visiting Alaska since I was a child, so being able to share that trip with Kicker felt
incredible. There's something to be said about shared experiences and how they help develop a strong bond.
Together we kayaked, snowmobiled, and even ended up exploring deep blue ice caves in Worthington
Glacier. Kicker learned to come snowboarding with me in the mountains of Alaska. He would hike part of the
way, and I would carry him the rest. I would always let him run next to me as I boarded, but I usually ended up
putting him on my shoulders for the rest of the ride down-he had grown far too big to fit in my jacket.
Having a dog has been one of the most rewarding things in my life. For me, it's about the time spent together
exploring, sharing experiences, working through challenging situations, snuggling, and ultimately taking care of
one another.

D.To warn us of the trouble a pet can bring to us on a trip.
6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A.What tricks Kicker learned in Alaska.
B.What great experiences the author had.
C.How the author realized his childhood dream.
D.How much the author enjoyed Kicker's company.
7.What is special about the author's relationship with Kicker?
A.They bond through shared adventures.
B.They help each other to become stronger.
C.They bond through giving each other rewards.
D.They depend on each other in life's hardest times.

Slowness has been a sweeping trend in sustainability. Slow food celebrates local produce and traditional
cooking methods; slow fashion is made with a focus on people and the planet. You may have even heard of the
slow city, a campaign to restore local cultures and turn cities back to their natural environments.
Slow design developed from the larger slow movement. Although the term was only recently introduced, the
idea of thoughtful design looks back to a time when buildings and furniture were made with great
craftsmanship（手艺）and by hand-before the mass-produced throwaway furniture took over. You can think of
the term “slow” as a celebration of timelessness: both the timelessness of a piece and the timelessness of the
relationship between that piece and its owner.
One example of slow design today is what's been dubbed the brown furniture revival （ 复 兴 ） .Brown
furniture refers to the heavy wooden furnishings that were popular in your grandparents' day but suddenly fell out
of style at the turn of the century. Brown furniture is often associated with dark woods, such as trees like
mahogany, walnut, and teak, that take decades to reach maturity and true craftsmanship to transform into
functional pieces.
Today's furniture industry is dominated by the $ 13.1 billion-and-growing global ready-to-assemble(RTA)
furniture market. RTA furniture is usually constructed from low-quality fiberboard, which lasts a small part of
traditional furniture's lifespan （寿命）．The weight of furniture landfilled in 2018 was 9.7 million tons ，4.5
times what was landfilled in 1960.
In a less direct way, the idea of timelessness also lends itself to a lower environmental impact. Besides their
demonstrated physical durability, slow materials and design are meant to outlive trends and never be thrown out
simply because they're out of style.
As second-hand shopping becomes more appealing to today's young generation-because of its low
environmental impact and affordability-the brown furniture of yesteryear is making a comeback.
8.Why is the first paragraph written?
A.To explain a new term.
B.To present the topic of the text.
C.To provide background information.
D. To highlight the importance of slowness.
9.What does the underlined word “dubbed” mean in paragraph 3?
A.Known as.
B.Mistaken for.
C.Compared to.
D.Connected with.
