It had been my dream to attend the famous carnival for many years, so I was excited. However, the moment I arrived, I was a little bit nervo

8、us because there were so many people on the streets. They say that five or six million people come to Rio during carnival time and about two million of them are on the streets on any given day. Luckily, I had a local guide, my sisters friend Ronnie. He said he would take care of me and show me all t

9、he highlights. He did not let me down.The carnival is most definitely all about the samba. Its a style of music and dance which has its roots in Africa. Lots of Africans were used as slave labor by the Portuguese when Brazil was being colonized (殖民), so this mixed culture of African, Latin and Europ

10、ean styles is really strong here. Samba music is usually fast and exciting with a lot of drums and harmonic vocals (和声). Its the kind of music that you cant help dancing to, and I was learning that as I followed Ronnie through the crowd, my hips and shoulders were swinging (摇摆) almost involuntarily.

11、Ronnie had got us tickets for the samba parade, the symbol of Brazilian culture, inside the Sambadrome where the top samba schools compete for the championship title, but we still had a long way to go through the street parties.

16、a.D. To share an unforgettable experience.CBinge-watching (刷剧) is when a person watches more than one episode (集) of a show in quick succession (连续). With developments in the speed and connectivity of the Internet, increases in technology and the rise of on-demand entertainment companies, people can

17、 now have their favorite shows streamed directly to their television at their convenience.This behavior is nothing new. In fact, “binge-watching” has been officially listed in dictionaries since 2015. The entertainment companies recognize this behavior and many take steps to encourage it. Often, ins

18、tead of releasing each episode on a week-by-week basis, an entire series will become available at the same time. Once the episode finishes, many platforms will display pop-ups with “you might like” suggestions, or will automatically (自动) play the next episode.However, recent research suggests that o

19、ut of the more than half of British adults who watch more than one episode of a show back-to-back, almost a third have admitted missing sleep or becoming tired as a result; and one quarter have ignored their household chores.

21、sodes around the house or on the move.” If people find binge-watching hard to resist, are we witnessing the birth of a new type of addiction?The countless amount of information and entertainment that television and online media can bring us is, many would say, a good thing. However, when the activit

22、y begins to bleed into other areas, causing us to stop functioning and then it becomes a problem. So, whats the answer? Moderation (适度) ! Neither a tiny amount, nor too much. After all, as the old proverb says, “A little of what you fancy does you good.”28.How did the author develop the first paragr

26、 increasing for centuries.

Technology makes it possible. Most of our devices now talk to us and

27、take spoken commands. Smart cars ask for a destination and then give directions. Smart virtual assistants listen for requests to report the weather, play a song, set a timer, order groceries, and much more. Software can also read text aloud or turn speech into text. These interactions arent perfect

28、the software still makes silly mistakes. But its getting better and better.

29、io book narrator (讲述者) speaks at around 150 to 160 words per minute, while a strong reader can go through a text at 300 to 400 words per minute. Thats twice as fast! Research has also found that people remember more information and stay more interested when they read compared with when they listen.

30、Learning to read also creates new connections in the brain.
