A new look for technology, Solestrom’s new high-tech swimsuits promise to stand out all summer long. First
in their new products is Solestrom’s new SmartSwimCMUV Smart Bikini featuring a smart UV meter.
The bikini collects UV information through a smart fabric belt and reports the UV index to the wearer with
0.01 exactness. The electronic parts are neatly built into the removable belt, and can be worn even underwater.
Next in the list is a lower cost cousin, the SmartSwimCMUV Index Detector Bikini, which has UV sensitive beads
that change color1 with the level of UV intensity. The reading gives more of a range rather than an exact number,
but for those who simply need to know if the UV is low, moderate or high, this bikini fits the bill.
It is now available in Banana Split, more color1 s may become available later in the season. And finally, what
could be better than a beach tote with built in energy source? No need to suffer dead batteries in your MP3, just
plug them into your Solar Powered Beach Tote for on-the-go mobile charging. This beach tote combines fashion
and functionality all in one, lightweight and roomy beach accessory. A built in solar panel charges fully most small
electronics in only 2-3 hours of sunlight. Pauline Butler, Media Relations Manger at Solestrom states “the concept

Scientists say baby sharks are at risk of being born smaller and without the energy they need to survive
because of warming oceans from climate change.
Scientists studied epaulette sharks, which live off Australia and New Guinea. They found that warmer
conditions sped up the sharks’ growing process. That meant the sharks were born earlier and very tired. The
findings could be used in the study of other sharks, including those that give birth to live young.
The scientists studied 27 sharks. Some were raised in average summer water temperatures, about 27 degrees
Celsius. Others were raised in higher temperatures around 29 degrees Celsius and 31 degrees Celsius. They found
that the sharks raised in the warmest temperatures weighed much less than those raised in average temperatures.
They also showed reduced energy levels.
Epaulette sharks can grow to a length of about one meter. Their name comes from large spots on their bodies
that look like decorations on some military clothing.
One study this year found that worldwide numbers of oceanie sharks and rays dropped more than 70 percent
between 1970 and 2018. Overfishing is a main concern, while climate change and pollution also threaten shark.
Carolyn Wheeler is a doctoral student at the University of Massachusetts Boston and with the ARC Centre of
Excellence for Coral Reef Studies at James Cook University in Australia. She was the lead author of the epaulette
shark study. She said that while all the sharks survived, those raised in warmer temperatures were not strong
enough to survive for long in the wild.
She added that if the sharks are born smaller than usual “they are probably going to have to start looking for
food sooner—and they’re going to have less time to adjust to their surroundings.” The study should serve as a
warning to ocean governing agencies that careful management is needed to prevent the loss of more sharks.
8. In what aspect do the warmer conditions affect the baby sharks?
A. Their food. B. Their body weight. C. Their living habits. D. Their
moving route.
9. How did the scientists carry out their study?
A. By studying former data.
B. By tracking sharks in the wild.
C. By collecting information about climate change.
D. By comparing sharks in waters of different temperatures
10. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about?
A. The origin of sharks’ names. B. The sharks’ appearance.
C. The threats to sharks’ survival. D. The sharks’ living environment.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Scientists Raise Sharks to Deal with Problems
B. Global Warming Has Reduced Shark Populations
C. Baby Sharks Struggle to Survive in Warming Oceans
D. Scientists Are Struggling to Save Sharks from Extinction
D
You run into the grocery store to quickly pick up your item. You grab what you need and head to the front of
the store. After quickly sizing up the check-out lines, you choose the one that looks fastest. You chose wrong.
People getting in other lines long after you have already checked out and headed to the parking lot. Why does this
seem to always happen to you?
Well, as it turns out, it's just math that is working against you. A grocery store tries to have enough
employees at the checkout lines to get all their customers through with minimum delay. But sometimes, like on a
Sunday afternoon, they get super busy. Because most grocery stores don't have the physical space to add more
checkout lines, their system becomes overburdened. Some small interruption — a price check, a particularly
talkative customer — will have downstream effects, holding up the entire line behind them.
If there are three lines at the store, these delays will happen randomly at different registers (收银台). Think
about the probability. The chances of your line being that fastest one are only one in three, which means you have
a two-thirds chance of not being in the fastest line. So it's not just in your mind: Another line is probably moving
faster thanyours.
Now, mathematicians have come up with a good solution, which they call queuing theory, to this problem:
Just make all customers stand in one long snaking line, called a serpentine line, and serve each person at the front
with the next available register. With three registers, this method is about three times faster on average than the
more traditional approach. This is what they do at most banks, Trader Joe's, and some fast-food places. With a
serpentine line, a long delay at one register won't unfairly punish the people who lined up behind it. Instead, it will
slow everyone down a little bit.
12. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?
A. Queuing in a line. B. A shopping experience.
C. A rush in the morning. D. Cutting in a line.
13. According to the article, what may cause delays in checking out?
A. The lack of employees in the grocery store.
B. Some unexpected delays of certain customers.
C. The increasing items bought by customers.
D. A worsening shopping system of the store.
14. What is the solution given by mathematicians?
A. Employing more workers for checking out.
B. Limiting the number of queuing people.
C. Making only one line available.
D. Always standing in the same line.
15. What's the principle behind the queuing theory?
A. To pursue the maximum benefit.
B. To leave success or failure to luck.
C. To avoid the minimum loss.
D. To spread the risk equally among everyone.
