19、ctly who I needed to say I love you to. You see, five years ago, my father and I had a disagreement and really never settled it since that time. We avoided seeing each other unless we absolutely had to at Christmas or other family gatherings.So last Tuesday by the time I got home I had convinced mys
20、elf I was going to tell my father I loved him. The next morning I was up bright and early. I could hardly sleep with excitement, nor did my wife.At 9:00, I called my dad to see if I could come over after work. When he answered the phone, I just said, “Dad, can I come over after work tonight? I have
21、something to tell you.” My dad responded with a grumpy face, “Now what?” I assured him it wouldnt take long, so he finally agreed.At 5:30, I was at my parents house ringing the doorbell, praying that Dad would answer the door. Dad did answer the door. I didnt waste any time and took one step in the
22、door and said, “Dad, I just came over to tell you that I love you.” His face softened and he began to cry.

26、t-eye, think again. Believe it or not, the dim lighting could actually help save your life in case of a plane emergency.The dimmed lights before taking off the runway and landing are a flight precaution used to help passengers eyes adjust quicker during an emergency escape. “Going from a brightly li
27、t environment to one thats completely dark would require some time for our eyes to focus and see the escape slide,” Alice Theriault, the service director for Air Canada wrote in a press statement. “Since we need to have all the seconds on our side in the event of an emergency, dimming the lights is
28、one of many steps we take to ensure the safety of our customers.”The phenomenon that your eyes see those strange speckles (斑点) as your 7sight adjusts to a dark place after being in a light place is called dark adaptation. It normally takes our eyes about 20 to 30 minutes to see best in a dark room.
29、The brighter the lights, the longer it takes for our eyes to adjust, which is why dimming the plane lights could shorten your “dark adaptation” time since you havent been sitting under fluorescent bulbs (荧光灯) all flight.Not only does dimming lights add valuable time to the escape process, it also re
30、duces the tension on your eyes if you need to look outside, or see the emergency lighting along the passage. “It helps keep you in the right direction,” Patrick Smith, an airline pilot and author of Cockpit Confidential told The Telegraph. “It also makes it easier for flight attendants to assess any
31、 outside risks, such as fire or debris, that might affect an escape.” So next time a pilot dims the lights, just know its for your safety, even though it creates a gentle atmosphere for your take-off into the sky.28. The lights are turned down before take-off to help passengers _.A. take a short bre

33、.30. What does the underlined word “It” in the last paragraph refer to?A. Dimming lights. B. The escape process.C. Reducing tension. D. The passage.31. What is the text mainly about?A. A tip of air travel. B. An emergency event on a plane.8C. A warning message on a plane. D. An explanation of an air
34、line safety measure.DNext time you go shopping, keep in mind that there may be hidden cameras analyzing your habits. According to a 2015 survey of 150 managers from Computer Services Corporation, a quarter of British shops use facial recognition software to collect data on shopper behavior.With conc
35、erns that face-recognition cameras “are kind of invasive (冒犯)”, British analysis firm Hoxton Analytics has come up with a new way of measuring footfall (客流) by filming peoples shoes. The technology can collect a large amount of personal information. “ We have cameras at 50cm off the ground and they
36、point down so they are less invasive than facial recognition,” Duncan Mann, Hoxtons officer said.As modern cities get fuller 70 percent of the population will live in urban areas by 2050 cameras and other technologies are taking over public spaces and collecting our data. Their purpose is to keep pe
37、ople safe, provide efficient services and prevent disasters and crimes.But some are not happy with the cameras as far as their privacy (隐私) is concerned. “Very few of us have any real concept of what data smart cities are gathering,” said Renate Samson.We begin giving away data as soon as we wake up
38、. When we enter the transport system, we are giving away even more details about ourselves through smart cards, mobile phones or credit cards.Nick Millman, director at a consulting firm thinks statistics are the key to the privacy concern. He used the example of Google Maps, which is to monitor the
39、flow of traffic in Stockholm. He explained, “It is basically adding privacy controls to statistics so that you only see the data you need to know about.” In this case, Google gets enough data to improve traffic but not so much that it shows individual journey patterns.32.

40、about?9A. An introduction to collecting shoppers data.B. The concerns about giving away personal data.C. The problems caused by imbalanced distribution of population.D.
