1．Are you searching for the latest device as a gift？Here，we offer a guide that will help you take a closer look at four of tech's hottest categories.
Virtual reality
Virtual reality （VR），the most exciting tech development of recent times，has arrived.The Sony VR doesn't require expensive phone and there are some devices you can purchase to enhance the experience.But if you've already got a PS4，you can enter the world of VR for just﹩400 （2780 yuan）.
Wireless headphones
Combining ease of use with the ability to move around without limit，wireless headphones just make sense.The Bose QuietComfort 35 wireless headphones are worth a test drive.The headphones feature active noise cancellation.They can be easily purchased for less than﹩400 online.
Digital cameras
While your phone has more functions，there's no substitute（替代品）for a real camera.As small as your smartphone，the smooth design of the Fujifilm X70，﹩699 （4850 yuan），makes it the perfect companion.In China，Xiaomi's mirrorless Yi M1 offers a more affordable option，available for just 2199 yuan.
Smartwatches
Watches，thanks to the mobile phone，were becoming unnecessary.Now the pursuit for fitness has helped the watch industry push forward.FitBit has been a leader in the sporty wearable field，and its new swim-proof Fitbit Flex 2 （﹩130）represents the best in the way of today's fitness bands.

2．A simple gesture can be formed into a child's memory so quickly that it will cause the child to give a false answer to a question accompanied by that gesture.A new finding suggests that parents，social workers，psychologists and lawyers should be careful with their hands as well as their words.
Gestures can be as informative as speech，but hand gestures are so common that we rarely notice we're using them.
While the recall of both adults and children are easy to react to suggestion，the memories of children are known to be particularly influenced，said lead researcher Sara Broaders of Northwestern University.Kids are used to looking to adults to tell events for them and can be misled even if not intentionally（故意地）.
Previous research，for example，has shown that detail-loaded questions often cause false answers；when asked，say "Did you drink juice at the picnic？"，the child is likely to say "yes" even if no juice had been available.It is not that the child is consciously lying，but rather the detail is quickly formed into his or her memory.
To avoid this problem，social workers have long been advised to ask children only open-ended questions，such as "What did you have at the picnic？" But an open-ended question paired with a gesture，briefly meaning a juice box，is treated like a detailed question.That is，children become likely to answer falsely.
And it isn't just a few kids：77% of children gave at least one piece of false information when a detail was suggested by an ordinary gesture.Gestures may also become more popular when talking with non-fluent language users，such as little kids，Broaders said as hand movements can impart meaning of unfamiliar words and phrases. "It certainly seems reasonable that adults would gesture more with children."
In general，Broaders advises parents and other adults to "Try to be aware of your hands when questioning a child about an event.Otherwise，you might be getting answers that don't reflect what actually happened."
（1）What do we know about gestures according to the text？
A．They have a certain effect on children.
B．They are rarely used by people.
C．They have no function at all.
D．They are often used by social workers.
（2）Why are kids easy to be misled by gestures according to Sara Broaders？
A．These gestures are very attractive.
B．Their memories are affected easily.
C．Children are easy to tell lies.
D．These gestures are used frequently.
（3）What does the underlined word "impart" in Paragraph 6 mean？
A．Separate.
B．Tell apart.
C．Confuse.
D．Pass on.
（4）Which of the following can be the best title of the text？
A．Gestures-a Useful Way of Education.
B．Gestures Can Mislead Children.
C．Gestures Mean Adult's Directions.
D．Gestures Affect Children Much.组卷：1引用：4难度：0.5 -
3．With the Chinese language becoming popular，the UK government plans to invest（投资） 10 million pounds to help more kids learn Mandarin （普通话）.Do you think it is necessary for the UK pupils to learn Mandarin？Some people share their opinions online.
Tsd （UK）：The learning of any language can be valuable and useful，but it is not suitable for everyone.Chinese is a difficult language to learn and the UK is said to be bad at learning foreign languages.Why should they learn Chinese when most people in the world speak English？
Mark （US）：I studied French for 2 years in high school and German for 4 years in college.I studied Mandarin informally for about 4 months before moving to China.Now I speak Mandarin every day as my wife doesn't speak English.But it is far from being fluent.Learning additional languages is a great thing，which offers a different view on the world around us.Nowadays，it's almost necessary to be able to speak more than just your mother tongue.
George （UK） ：No，unless they're taught from a very early stage of childhood.Mandarin is so djye.aificult.If China really is going to lead the world，it'll have to do so by speaking the world 's leading language- English.
