The foam missed Discovery, but NASA grounded all shuttle flights until engineers fix the problem.NASA ground crews examined Discovery after its return from orbit and found it in good condition, an official said Wednesday at NASAs Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards Air Force Base in California.Technicians counted 101 dings and divots, including 20 that were larger than 1 inch. Schaaf Dean, landing support group chief, said the numbers were similar to the results of other shuttle, post-landing examinations.A beginning examination of the shuttles thermal（热的）blanket showed it remained undamaged during re-en-try into the Earths air.(Agencies)1、The seven astronauts _.Aare the first to take a space shuttle into orbitBtook the Columbia into spaceCreturned to earth safelyDare Americans2、According to the text, the NASA officials think _.Athe flight of Discovery is a failureBmanned space flight has been through the best in the pastCthe flight of Discovery is a successDthe astronauts are national heroes3、When the Discovery took off, _.Athe fuel tank burned Ba piece of foam insulation fellCthe safety belt is not fixed Dit knocked into the Columbia4、The underlined word “grounded” means _.A(of a boat) hit the bottom of a sea and be unable to moveBto cause a boat to hit the bottom of a sea or lakeCto prevent a plane or person from flyingDto be based on something22（8分） Each applicant to Harvard College is considered with great care.

That means you can mail your letters to Santa about 6 weeks sooner than that last year. Santa knows youve been good and wants to make sure he and his helpers receive your wish list earlier.Eight post offices are organized across Germany to answer all the letters children send. This year they plan to receive over 250,000 letters. Though the letters fly from over 80 different countries, Santa and his helpers can understand and make sure to answer all the letters.In 1984, two children from Berlin sent their wish lists to Himmelpfort after spending their vacation there. Their letters were answered by postal employees and later Himmelpfort increased its helpers to meet the needs of increased mail traffic. Year after year, Santa and his crew use an eco-friendly powered vehicle to collect the thousands of letters they receive from young boys and girls. The great news for this year is that if you come to the beautiful town of Himmelpfort, you can drop off your letter and visit Santa in person, from Tuesdays to Thursdays until Christmas Eve.Santa does not currently have an e-mail, Twitter or a Facebook account. He believes in old-fashioned communication. So get out your paper and write your wish list. Just make sure your letter is clear so you can receive an official response.

Start to slack off (懈怠), and AI could talk to your boss.One company offering such services is London-based start-up Status Today. Its AI platform relies on a regular supply of employee data, including everything from the files you access to when you use a key card. From this, it builds a picture of how employees normally function and signals any unusual performance. The idea is to spot when someone might become a security risk by doing something different from their usual behavioral patterns. “All of this gives us fingerprint of a user, so if we think the fingerprint doesnt match, we raise a warning”, says Mircea Dumitrescu, the companys chief technology officer.The system also aims to catch employee actions that could accidentally cause a security breach (漏洞), like opening malware (恶意软件).“Were not monitoring if your computer has a virus.” says Dumitrescu. “Were monitoring human behaviors.”But catching the security breach means monitoring everyone, and the AI can also be used to track employee productivity. “It seems like they are just using the reputation of AI to give an air of lawfulness to old-fashioned workplace surveillance (监视),” says Javier Ruiz Diaz of digital campaigning organization the Open Rights Group. “You have a right to privacy and you shouldnt be expected to give that up at work.”Exactly how com
