SM Card Cutter

Change regular SM cards to smaller SIM cards.

Did you know you can cut a regular size phone SIM card to a smaller size SM card and it will still work?This tool will help you do it.Just stick a SIM card in it,press it down like a stapler(订书机).A perfectly shaped smaller SIM is there.I've used it many times when swapping SIMs from one phone to another.

03/7/17-Mark Frauenfelder Profi Cheese Slicer

Uses a thin wire to slice up to medium-hard cheeses in four inch sections.

I may own every cheese slicer ever made.I prefer a wire type cheese cutter so I can cut slices that work well on a piece of bread and sandwich.

This cheese slicer is great for both tasks.It even has adjustable tension on the two cutting wires.A point of information: I did break a wire cutting a very hard piece of cheese with black pepper.Good news,the wire is replaceable,and I was able to purchase new wires to fix it.Maybe best to use on softer cheeses.Lessons learned.But, highly recommended for every other use except for those extremely hard cheeses. 03/6/17-Kent Bames Ash Bucket(桶子）

Bucket with lid keeps your fireplace(壁炉）clear of ashes.

It's a Saturday morning,and I am eager to fly away.My husband and I will meet up with our son on the other side of the country to learn and explore together.Sitting now at the airport gate,my husband wanders away to stretch his legs.Moments later,he returns and whispers in my ear.I rise and follow him around the comer toward a large window facing the landing area.

On the road,Marines stand straight and the plane door is open.A white hearse(灵车）is parked nearby.A man and a soldier stand on either side of a woman,supporting her and waiting for what is to come.Airport personnel stand in reverent stillness.A few people place their hands over their hearts,as I have done.We're joined in witness,sending respect to an honorable soldier whose name we'll never know.

The woman looks heartbroken.She cries,knowing she will never hear \"Mom”from her son. She'll never feel his tender embrace or enjoy his sweet peck on her cheeks.Another man's face is twisted because of the grief.His son,the tiny boy he no doubt wrestled playfully,the teen he probably taught to drive,and the son he stood so proudly by,now lives only in his memory.

Those behind the glass stay silent,reflecting on this loss,as the family and soldiers leave.Some of us women, with sorrowful expressions,move slowly away,sharing

C.It is useful

a mother's profound grief Soon,each of us will fly off in planes and return to an ordinary life made extraordinary by this soldier's courage.by this family's sacrifice and by this love shared by all that look out of the window

Whats your dream vacation?Watching wildlife in Kenya?Boating down the Amazon?Sunbathing in Malaysia? New chances are opening up all the time to explore the world.So we visit travel agents,compare packages and prices, and pay our money.

We know what our vacation costs us.But do we know what it might cost someone else?It's true that many poorer countries now depend on tourism for foreign income.Unfortunately,though.tourism often harms the local people more than it helps them

It might cost their homes and lands.In Myanmar.5.200 people were forced to leave

- 5 -

B.Soldier's courage moved us

D.A fallen soldier reunited

their homes among the pagodas(佛塔）in Bagan so that tourists could visit the pagodas.

Tourism might also cost the local people their livelihood（生计）and dignity（尊严）.Local workers often find only jobs with slim salaries in the tourist industry.And most of the profits（利润）do not help the local economy. Instead,profits return to the tour operators in wealthier countries,When the Maasai people in Tanzania were driven（驱赶）from their lands,some moved to city slums.Others now make a little money selling souvenirs or posing(摆姿势）for photos.

Problems like these were observed more than 20 years ago.But now some non-government organizations,tour operators and local governments are working together to begin correcting them.Tourists,too,are putting on the pressure.

The result is responsible tourism,or ethical tourism.Ethical tourism has people at its heart.New international agreements and codes of conduct（行为准则）can help protect the people's lands homes,economies and cultures.The beginnings are small,though,and the problems are complex.

But take heart.The good news is that everyone,including us,can play a part to help the local people in the places we visit Tour operators and companies can help by making sure that local people work in good conditions and earn reasonable wages.

They can make it a point to use only locally owned hotel restaurants and guide services.They can share profits fairly to help the local economy And they can involve the local people in planning and managing tourism.

What can tourists do?First,we can ask tour companies to provide information about the conditions of local citizens.We can then make our choices and tell them why.And while we're abroad,we can:

Buy local foods and products,not imported ones.

Pay a fair price for goods and services and not bargain for the cheapest price. Avoid flaunting wealth.

Ask before talking photographs of people.They are not just part of the landscape! Let's enjoy our vacation and make sure others do,too. 28.What is probably the best title for the article? A.Vacations Cost More Than You Think

B.Tourism Causes Bad Effects

- 6 -

C.Vacations Bring a Lot of Fun Behavior

D.Tourism Calls for Good

29.Which of the following is not mentioned? A.Local people were well paid to leave their lands B.Tourists may stay in hotels opened by local people. C.Local people are mainly provided with low-paying work

D.Tourists could bargain with local people for a reasonable price 30.The underlined phrase \"take heart\" means \" \". A.take care

B.pay attention.

C.cheer up

D.calm down

31.According to the passage,the writer thinks . A.tourism is not a promising（有前途的）industry be spent abroad

C.tourists should respect local customs and culture tourism are easy to settle

D

A recent study by Citi Retail Services found that a growing number of people are embracing digital wallets or e-wallets,due in large part to their convenience and ease of use.

E-wallets have been called the future of real-world payment technology.With major players like Alipay,WeChat and Apple Pay becoming popular,it seems to be a safe bet that a change in consumer payment technology is coming soon.

CNN reporter Paul Ripley experienced a day in Beijing without his wallet.\"In China's largest cities,you can definitely survive without carrying a pocket full of cash and credit cards-as long as you've got your smartphone.\"He paid for breakfast by scanning a QR code on the window of a hole-in-the-wall restaurant.All he had to do was to enter a password and the transaction was complete.

Unlike the situations in the US and other countries,\"China doesn't have a really money-making credit card system,so Chinese people just skipped credit cards and went straight to mobile payments.\"Gu Yu,co-founder of the new payment app Mileslife,told CNN.He also pointed out the advantages of mobile payments.\"No coins or bills that

B.dream vacations should

D.the problems caused by

However,if we want to make e-wallets a mainstream trend a lot of things will have to change over the coming years.Perhaps one of the most important things that need to be changed is how people regard e-wallets.Linda Barrabee,research director for NPD Connected Intelligence, said in a statement.\"In order to promote on-the-go consumer transactions and commerce,wireless carriers,credit card companies,and e-commerce companies need to make sure the process is convenient,simple,and secure for consumers.\"

32.More consumers tend to use e-wallets because they are . A.fashionable B.enjoyable C.handy D.economic 33.Paul Ripley's example is used mainly to show that . A.Smartphone payments are available in every part of China now. B.Life in Beijing has become the most advanced in the world C.You can buy anything you want using mobile payments in Beijing. D.Mobile payments are popular in large cities in China like Beijing 34.Which of the following statement is NOT rue according to the passage? A.There will be no more cash or credit card payments in the near future. B.Digital-wallets will save up much space in your bag when you go out.

C.How people consider digital wallets will influence the popularity of digital wallet D.The Chinese credit card system has partly caused the popularity of digital wallets 35.What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A.E-wallets is much safer and more convenient than traditional payments. B.There is still a long way to make e-wallets become the main trend in our life. C.E-wallets will be definitely a mainstream trend in our life.

D.E-commerce companies will make great profits by using e-wallets in the future. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）

- 8 -

can now be found in supermarkets.Here are some helpful tips for customers.

Does your area receive enough direct lighting?

36 So you shouldn't even give it a thought if you live in an area that doesn't get much sunlight.These lights need direct sunlight,or they just won't work very well. 37

The expensive one usually means good quality Choosing the cheapest ones will result in many problems.For once,it's best to buy more expensive lights of high quality.38 At least you should know the difference between a $10 light and a $45 light.

Buy lights that require less installation(安装）

Most solar lights are simply driven into the ground.Therefore.you shouldn't deal with the difficulty in installing a system that involves anything more than that.39 You don't need to buy lights that require half an hour each to plant into the ground because that's just a waste of time.

Make sure the lights can store enough energy.

Different solar lights can store different amounts of energy.40 Therefore,you should choose lights that are able to store enough energy to last for a few hours or more,at least those that will last from nightfall throughout most of the night and part of the morning.

A.They should take a few minutes each to get into the ground B.Without sunlight,solar lighting is useless. C.It means some will stay lit longer than the others D.Buy many solar lights instead of just one or two. E.Choose something a bit more expensive for once. F.That doesn't mean you have to spend all your money. G.Solar lights are becoming more and more popular. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）
