Anvitha Vijay，who is only nine years old，has built two educational apps. One is Smartkins Animals，which helps many 【小题1】（child）identify more than 100 animals and 【小题2】 other is Rainbow Colors，which teaches kids colors.

With the help of YouTube videos，the young girl from Melbourne，Australia，learned codes（编码）at age 7 all by 【小题3】（she）. Soon，she was trying her hand at making apps.“When I first got my iPad，I 【小题4】（attract）immediately by all the apps on it，”she told TFK.“It wasn't long 【小题5】 I wanted to create my own.”

Anvitha's skills won her a scholarship to attend a big tech conference hosted by Apple in San Francisco，California. There，she got tips from the professionals and went to workshops 【小题6】 she learned about the latest software for app building. All that training led to an idea for a third app. This one，called GoalsHi，inspires kids 【小题7】（develop）good habits.

Anvitha's goal is to keep on 【小题8】 (create) technology that helps kids learn while they are having fun. But what's even more 【小题9】 (importance) to her is that the world sees the power of technology in kids' hands.“The more training we get in tech at an early age,”she says,“the 【小题10】 (good) chance we will have of becoming champions who will one day change the world.”

   Government intelligence agencies have a plan to build computers that store information inside DNA and other organic molecules（分子）.

Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity（IARPA）announced plans to develop tabletop-sized machines that can store and retrieve（取回）data from large batches of polymers — a term that refers to a wide variety of long，string-like molecules. Polymers can store data in individual atoms or groups of atoms.

The project is an attempt to solve a basic problem of the modern era:the vast and growing costs of data storage. Datacenters around the world sucked up 416. 2 terawatt hours of electricity in 2016. That's about 3 percent of the global supply，and it accounts for 2 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions.

A 2016 paper found that DNA，in particular，could store computer information more densely，require less energy，and survive higher and lower temperatures than conventional hard drives. The authors of that paper reported on the successes of prototype（雏形）DNA computers that used the genetic molecules for both long-term storage and random access memory（RAM）.

But no one has yet figured out how to handle DNA data storage on large scales.

IARPA officials said the new effort, called Molecular Information Storage, will be broken up into three periods:a two-year program to figure out how to store data in DNA or other molecules at high speed,a two-year program to figure out how to retrieve that data at high speed, and a two-year effort to develop an operating system that can run on that DNA.

Many of the technologies IARPA wants to develop are untested at these scales, so it's unclear how far away that proposed tabletop device really is.

Nowadays，there is a growing 【小题1】 (popular) of Internet surfing on college campus. 【小题2】 increasing number of students，【小题3】 (major) in science，engineering or liberal arts，spend many hours surfing the Internet with keen interest every day.

So far Internet surfing 【小题4】 (attract) college students like magnets（磁铁）for the reason 【小题5】 it is the world of Internet and the world of globalization. First，【小题6】 the global coverage of Internet，we can reach out to and touch anyone at any place of the world. Via Internet, we can send and receive e-mails at any time much faster, cheaper and more effective than 【小题7】 (tradition) means such as telephone, telex and fax. Next, access to the home pages makes it easy 【小题8】 (get) all kinds of information. Finally, by clicking the mouse, we are able to do such important things as shopping, finding jobs, making friends, and downloading files. What's more, Internet offers many chances.

In the Information Age, 【小题9】 is difficult to imagine modern life without Internet. With information technology industry developing 【小题10】 (rapid), successful dot-com companies appeared everywhere. Internet is revolutionizing our economy, our society and our life.

   With the development of modern science and technology，the functions of cellphones have changed greatly.【小题1】 The only difference may be that they fit in your pocket and you pay by the minute to use them.Some of the things a cellphone can do for you will be available this year：

Surf at speed

Cellphones that let you use the Web have been around for years.So，what’s new？ Well，faster thirdgeneration (3G) networks that let you surf at anywhere.【小题2】 Possible choices are from IJG Electronics VX 8000 and Motorola V1150.Listen as you go.

【小题3】 There is no doubt that it is about to change.Sony Ericsson’s new W8001 can hold around 150 songs in its 500 MB memory.And Samsung’s SPHV5400 even comes with a 1.5GB hard drive.Mobile phones may eventually replace mini MP3 players，especially for teens.

Camera cellphones are not new either but most of them have limitations： around 1­megapixel (百万像素).However new technology has made 2­megapixel units more common，and 3­megapixel units are showing up soon.Some 2­megapixel models，like Sony Ericsson’s K7501，offer limited zoom and focus controls.【小题4】 Portable TV.

You say you like “watching TV”？ That’s what Samsung MMA700 wants to give you.The new model lets users watch popular TV programmes for a fee.Other choices are Nokia’s 6620， Sanyo’s MM740 and NEC’s N940.【小题5】

The above are just a handful of what you’ll see in the coming months.Further down the road，your mobile phone may play a host of other roles，such as mobile credit card，position locator and so on.So what is there that a cellphone can’t do？

   Most people love to lose themselves in a great book, maybe a classic novel, a modern storybook or a great work of history. But many people also live busy lives, and for them finding time to sit quietly and read is difficult, if not impossible. Fortunately, with the coming of the Internet and high-tech tools like the iPod, more and more people are making literature a part of their lives again.

A very special website now makes it possible for people to listen to books that they simply would not have time to read. The site is called Audible Inc., and it’s the best place to download audio (音频的) books. Over the past few years, hundreds of thousands of these books have been recorded. They include nearly every classic, as well as most newly-published ones. Most of these are read by voice actors who really bring the text to life.

Audible Inc. lets you easily and quickly download a book and load it onto your iPod or other MP3 players, or onto CDs so that you can listen in your car. The site is like Amazon, com, but for audio books. It includes thousands of recommendations (推荐) and customer reviews that are extremely helpful. The site lets you listen to a free piece of each book so you can tell ahead what the narrator (讲述者) sounds like. No wonder that most people who listen to an audio book for the first time are immediately attracted.

This is the perfect opportunity to find out what so many people know about audio books. But be careful — you may become attracted to audio books for life.
