From: Lee Haojie
Subject: Handheld Scanners
Ms. Hu, I received the parcel from Scan Technology 1 piece. The scanner model they sent is correct, and the quantity is right. However, I’ve discovered the cables and connectors are all wrong. They are not suitable for the model 8021101.
Can you do me a small favor and go through the product information website and see if the cables and connectors are still compatible (兼容的）with the 8021101 scanners? I have no wish to unpack the cables and connectors and try connecting them to the scanners. I believe we will have problem asking for an exchange if the cables and connectors are not compatible. If the website suggests an incompatibility, please contact Dan Richman and request an exchange for the collect model. (Refer to the invoice for his e-mail address.)
I will only use the scanners for our project once we have resolved the exchange issue. We should not proceed unless we get confirmation (证实）on their compatibility. I am looking to resolve this in the shortest possible time as it would be disastrous to wait for this exchange without making progress on the project.
Haojie

科目：高中英语 来源：辽宁省2017届高三高考模拟测试英语试卷 题型：阅读理解
Flaubert had it that "one way of tolerating existence is to lose oneself in literature as in an unending party". It turns out that reading doesn't only help us to tolerate existence, but actually lengthens it.
A recent study by Yale University researchers, published online in the journal Social Science & Medicine, concluded that "book readers experienced a 20 percent reduction in the risk of death over the 12 years of follow-up compared to non-book readers."
The data was obtained from the study sponsored by the National Institute on Aging. The study looked at 3,635 subjects, all older than 50, whom the researchers divided into three groups: those who didn't read books, those who read up to 3.5 hours a week and those who read more than 3.5 hours a week.
The findings were remarkable: on average, book readers survived almost two years longer than those who didn't crack open a book. The more the subjects read, the longer they lived, but that as little as 30 minutes a day was still beneficial in terms of survival.
Accounting for factors such as education level, income and health status, the study found that those who read more than 3.5 hours weekly were 23 percent less likely to die during that 12-year period. Those who read up to 3.5 hours—an average of a half-hour a day—were 17 percent less likely.
In other words, just like a healthy diet and exercise, books appear to promote a "significant survival advantage," the authors concluded.
Why or how that's the case remains unclear; the research showed only an association between book reading and longevity, not a causal relationship. But the findings are not so surprising. Other recent research showed that reading novels appears to increase both brain connectivity and sympathy.
1.Why does the author mention Flaubert's words in the first paragraph?
A. To stress the value of reading.
B. To compare reading with party.
C. To introduce the study on reading.
D. To support the findings of the study.
2.From the text, what can we learn about the study?
A. No similar study on reading has been carried out.
B. The process of the study lasted more than ten years.
C. It shows readers live two years longer than non-readers.
D. It shows time spent on reading increases one's love for it.
3.What does the underlined words "that's the case" probably mean?
A. Reading books enables people to live longer.
B. Reading is similar to a healthy diet and exercise.
C. Reading books is closely associated with longevity.
D. Reading increases brain connectivity and sympathy.
4.Where can we most probably read this text?
A. https://www.theguardian.com/life-and-style/family.
B. https://www.barnesandnoble.com/b/books/coming-soon.
C. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-health.
D. http://www.thebookbag.co.uk/Book_Recommendations.

As we know, DNA testing is very useful for crime fighting. But now crime fighters could have a new tool at hand. Researchers have developed a cutting-edge (前沿的) technique to identify human hair. Their test is quicker than DNA analysis techniques currently used by the police.
DNA testing is commonly used for identification because DNA is unique to each individual. However, environmental and chemical processes can degrade(降解) DNA, limiting its usefulness over time. Protein (蛋白质) in hair, on the other hand, is more stable than DNA but can also have variations (变异体) that may be unique to the individual.
“Our analysis process can be used universally, ”says Ms. Huang, “One of our samples even included dyed hair and the test was 100 per cent accurate. The test was able to distinguish East Asians, Caucasians and South Asians.”
Dr. Beauchemin says she has got in touch with law enforcement agencies about using the new technology. She is also planning to collect more hair samples and continue her research with a goal of finding where exactly in the world hair sample is from, to look for more races and determine specific age.
“We are in a very similar place with protein-based identification to where DNA testing was during the early days of development,” said chemist Brad Hart. “This method will be a game-changer, and while we’ve made a lot of progress toward improving it, there are steps to go before this new technique is able to reach its full potential.”
1.What’s the main purpose of the text?
A. To analyze crime scenes.
B. To distinguish different races.
C. To show the usefulness of DNA testing.
D. To introduce a new identification method.
2.Which will be the most useful in identifying a person according to Brad Hart?
A. Chemical materials. B. Protein in hair.
C. DNA variations. D. Blood sample.
3.What’s the advantage of the protein-based identification over DNA testing?
A. Stability. B. Popularity.
C. Security. D. Convenience.
4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph of the text?
A. DNA testing will soon reach its full potential.
B. Protein-based identification remains to be improved.
C. Protein-based identification has replaced DNA testing.
D. DNA testing develops as rapidly as protein-based identification.
