22、We’ve been covering standing desks for a long time now because experts agree that sitting all day is killing us．We want to be productive while also keeping our bodies healthy．Over the years，there have been several solutions to this from fixed standing desks to adjustable ones，portable desks to ones that change into shelves．

However, the most high tech and elegant solution has to be this new smart desk called The Stir Kinetic Desk．The desk learns your daily behaviors and moves between a sitting and standing height regularly throughout the day to keep you moving without interrupting your work flow．

You can program specific sitting and standing intervals or let the desk set the schedule．If you tend to sit while returning emails in the morning，but always want to stand during that afternoon conference call，the desk will learn those regular habits and adjust the schedule to fit them. Of course，the desk can always be manually lowered or raised by using the touch screen on the lower left comer of the desk．

When switching positions，the desk gently dips and rises to let you know that a change is coming up．If you’re not ready to switch positions at that time，you can tap the touchscreen to stay sitting or standing for a while longer．

The built．in touchscreen also keeps track of your daily sitting and standing times and tells you how many calories you’ve burned．You can even set goals for how long or often you want to stand．The desk also works with fitness devices like the FitBit to track your movements．

All of that smart tech doesn’t come cheap though．The M1 desk，which is the everyday model，runs a steep $2，990，while the more executive model with added features，the F1，goes for$4，190．

While expensive，it’s worth thinking of how much time we spend at our desks．Much like a good mattress(床垫)，a good desk that works with you is worth the investment．Hopefully in a few years these smart，integrated desks will be more common and less expensive．

【1】The Stir Kinetic Desk has been designed to_______．

A．help users with their work

B．keep users moving all the time

D．remind users of their working schedule

23、   Called 'the man who shaped America' and 'the father modern industrial design', Raymond Loewy must be one of the most influential designer of all time. He revolutionized the industry, working as a consultant for more than 200 companies and creating designs for everything from packaging to refrigerators, from cars to the interiors of spacecraft.

Loewy's design all had one thing in common. They were shaped by the MAYA principle - Most Advanced Yet Acceptable. His idea was that people will not accept solutions to design problems if the solutions are too different from current designs.

After a short period as a fashion illustrator, Loewy started his career in industrial design in 1929 by re-designing a copying machine for the British manufacturer, Sigmund Gestetner. The 28-years-old designer completed the task in three days and the design of the machine lasted for the next 40 years.

The Gestetner duplicator was the beginning of many design which used streamlining. He described this as 'beauty through function and simplification'. He spent the next 50 years streamlining everything from postage stamps and company logos to the interiors of stores. The famous Greyhound bus and Studebaker car show his use of streamlining in action.

He is perhaps most famous for his re-design of the Lucky Strike packaging. In 1940 , the President of the Lucky Strike Manufacturing Company, Goerge Washington Hill, be Loewy $50,000 that he could not improve the appereance of the green and red Lucky Strike . Loewy accepted the challenge. He changed the background of the packet from green to white. Then he put the red lucky strike target on both sides of the packet. This made it more eye-catching and greatly increased sales. It is now recognised as a design classic.

Loewy's logo design aimed at 'Visual retention'. He wanted to make sure that anyone who saw the logo, even for a short while, would never forget it. He designed many highly visible logos for famous companies such as Shell Oil , Exxon, Greyhound and Nabisco.

By the mid 20th century, his industrial design firm was so famous that he could say 'the average person, leadinga normal life lose is bound to be in daily contact with some of the things, service or structure' designed by his firm.

【1】Loewy’s biggest influence was in ______ .

A.offering original but not revolutionary answers to problems

B.providing completely different design

【3】The word “retention”(in paragraph 6) most probably means ______.

24、Chinese Emoji (表情符号) Circles Globe

“Funny”, a made-in-China emoji, seems to have recently moved beyond China. Now, it is more than an emoji, but a cultural expansion.

Reaching Global Markets

A series of “funny” emoji-based bolsters (抱枕) have attracted the attention of Japanese customers. Even if one bolster is more than three times as expensive as in China, it doesn’t kill their desires to buy it. One Japanese customer Miki said, “They are just so cute and I bought three bolsters at one time for my family. And every time I see them, my mood just brightens suddenly.”

A Japanese netizen Kiro Kara said, “I think the emoji implies very complicated meanings. My dad will send it when he doesn’t agree with someone but he has to say something and behave politely.”

Addition to Domestic Social Media

Compared with Japanese impressions of the “funny” emoji, Chinese netizens prefer to use the emoji to tease one another on social media.

One commonly seen online comment is, “We strongly suggest stopping the usage of the emoji. Because every time other people send me the emoji, I feel very uncomfortable and consider myself as a fool.”

Regarded as the most popular emoji, the “funny” emoji has received much attention since its release in 2013. In fact, the “funny” emoji is the updated version of its original one; “funny” has a smiley mouth, two eyebrows and a naughty look. All these characteristics present users a sense of satire (讽刺).

In Everyday Use Abroad

It’s not the first time the Chinese emoji takes the world stage. Earlier this year, one emoji from the Chinese basketball celebrity Yao Ming has been spread through the Middle East region. In a city in southern Egypt, Yao’s smiling emoji has appeared frequently in local traffic signs to remind people the road ahead is one-way. Many locals do not know Yao Ming but are familiar with his emoji and nickname “Chinese Funny Face”.

As a new online language, emojis have become a necessary part of people’s daily life, helping people express their views in a more vivid and precise way. Also, it can help foreigners learn about Chinese culture. But how to properly use “the fifth innovation in China” without hurting others and turn them into commercial advantages still need answers.

【1】Why do the bolsters attract Miki’s attention?

A. They are inexpensive.

B. They help reach an agreement.

C. They help brighten the mood.

D. They are helpful to express desire.

【2】According to the passage, which of the following is the latest “funny” emoji?

【3】Emojis are so popular worldwide mainly because people use them to ______.

D. tease one another on social media purposely
