The olinguito is new to science. Although lt has been living in the cloud forests of South Amcrica for some time. Scientists say the olinguito is the first new carnivore discovered In the Americas in more than 30 years. It is a hairy orange-brown creature with a sweet face and big eyes The animal has small. rounded ears and lives in the trees An adult weighs one kilogram and measures about 75 centimeters. with half of those centimeters taken up by its ringed tail Most of the time. it likes to eat fruit, although it also eats meat. Active at night, the animal has lived in Colombia and Ecuador for a long time. But the olinguito did not exist in science books before now. Kristofer Helgen, director at the National Museum in Washington, led the research team that confirmed the existence of the olinguito. It had been mistaken more than a century ago for a look-alike animal -- a similar but larger olingo . Mr. Helgen had been studying olingos in a museum for ten years. At that time. he observed a difference in the size and shape of the heads and teeth. That led him on an effort to prove he was looking at an animal never before described by science. He got lucky when he communicated with a zoologist in Ecuador. The animal expert there made a short video that shows an olinguito in the trees. The video confirms that the oiinguito is different from the olingo Mr. Helgen says tens of thousands of olinguitos live in the wild and are not in danger of disappearing forever. Human beings, however, are moving closer to the olinguito habitat in the Andean cloud forests. The research team estimates that 42 percent of historic olinguiio habitat has been removed The onlinguito was unknown to people in the past because _ A) it was mistaken for another species B) it was active in the eveing C) it was too small to be seen clearly D) it covered itself by its long tail

On Oct4,2011 , I phone 4s made its international appearance at the press conference claimed by the Iphone cooperation . Ever since then , Iphone4s has become _ and even made a fashion around the globe. Meanwhile , many new expressions come about in relationship with this type of high-tech products. "Jailbreak" is one of them. " Jailbreak" means to unlock the operating system of a mobile phone or other device so that it can run software which it is not normally authorized to use because of restrictions imposed by the device's manufacturer. If someone jailbreaks a smartphone, tablet computer or other device , they use a special piece of software in order to remove the restrictions imposed by the manufacturer on the kind of applications that can be downloaded and run on the device. The concept of jailbreaking is most often associated with products from Apple Inc, such as the iPhone, iPod and iPad, which routinely restrict the user to applications licensed exclusively by Apple and purchased via its App Store. As well as wanting to lift the restriction on what kinds of applications they can purchase, those who jailbreak often do so as a reaction against what they consider as a form of censorship imposed by Apple Inc in only allowing the use of their 'approved' apps. The concept of jailbreaking dates back to July 2007, when it was applied to the iPhone within a month of the device's first release. This first occurrence related to the adding of custom ringtones , but the idea quickly developed as a means to lift the restriction and equip the phone with games and other applications not licensed by Apple Inc. Which one is the correct statement from this passage? A) The original mobile phones also require jailbreaking B) People jailbreak not only in order to lift the restrictions of applications licensed by the Iphone Cooperation. C) The concept of jailbreak is seldom associated with products from Apple Inc D) The concept of jailbreak dates back to the twentieth century

Ques: With the Tesla Roadster and other plugin electric vehicles hitting the road,demand is growing for accessible refueling points to recharge them. Carbon Day Automotive, a Chicagobased company,has now demonstrated a solarpowered recharging point, known as the Solar PlugIn Station,which lets motorists easily charge their cars using electricity that has been produced without any environmental damage. The Solar PlugIn Station has gone on show in Chicago as part of the city's bid to host the 2016 Olympic Games. According to Carbon Day Automotive,the Solar PlugIn Station on show in Chicago is part of the vital infrastructure required for electric vehicles in Chicago and was the focus of a recent visit by the International Olympic Committee. These solarpowered electricity points will be used daily to fuel the city's electric vehicles with power from the sun. By producing the electricity from pollutionfree solar cell, the CO2 emissions are reduced to zero. "Solar energy and electric vehicles are a partnership that is one more step to reducing our dependence on foreign oil," says Richard Lowenthal, CEO of Coulomb Technologies.Coulomb Technologies recently developed the components required for individual recharging stations,marketed as ChargePoint Networked Charging Stations.Carbon Day Automotive is the Midwest distributor for the ChargePoint stations. The Solar PlugIn Station consists of giant solar panels that shade the tiny ChargePoint Networked Charging Station.The solar panel is connected to an underground battery pack,ready for everyday refueling. "Without these stations it would be like driving around in a traditional car without the availability of gas stations," says Scott Emalfarb,CEO at Carbon Day."The day of true plugin electric vehicles will be here sooner than most people realize and the world needs to be ready to accommodate(......)them." We can learn from the passage that _ . A) to recharge the electric vehicles takes a long time B) the Solar PlugIn Station will come into use in 2016 C) the Solar PlugIn Station has gone on show internationally D) Chicago is promoting the use of electric vehicles
