18、than work.CImagine this scene: its blowing outside, and you snuggle (蜷伏) up on the sofa under a warm quilt, chatting and recalling with your closest friends.That content, cosy feeling has a name in Danish - hygge. And, as Denmark recently won the title of “the happiest country in the world”, the con

Its often translated as coziness, or as blogger Anna West told the BBC, “coziness of th
20、e soul”. But, as professor Maren Spark explains, “Hygge was never meant to be translated. It was meant to be felt.”Basically, hygge involves creating a warm, cosy atmosphere and enjoying it with your loved ones. Danish winters are long and dark and so achieving hygge is particularly relevant during
21、this season. A typical hygge activity during winter could be enjoying delicious homemade food and light-hearted conversation with friends - preferably in the warm glow of candlelight, or maybe sipping a glass of wine in the hot tub after a day spent skiing.However, hygge isnt only limited to the col

25、est.11. What is the main purpose of the author?A. To explain.B. To persuade.C. To comment.D. To advertise.DIn the mid-2000s, Waze Mobile co-founder Ehud Shabtai received a cutting-edge (尖端的) gift from his girlfriend: a GPS. The expensive gift was supposed to be helpful. But straight out of the box,

To build an app. With 50 million monthly active users globally and nearly 400,000 superusers who function much like Wikipedia volunteer editors (editing maps rather than words), Waze Mob
27、ile caught the eye of Google as a revolutionary approach to navigation(导航).Acquired by Google in 2013, Wazes value mainly lies in its high rate of user involvement. Unlike traditional navigation apps that simply show directions, Waze asks its users to report accidents and other road conditions in re
28、al time, so other users can avoid the traffic by using an alternative route.The goal behind Wazes approach is an ambitious one: not just avoid traffic, but end it altogether. Waze is finding new ways to put its loyal and active user base to use to make that vision a reality, including a plan to make
29、 carpooling (拼车) cool.To be sure, traffic jams are troubling people all over the world. Waze has been quietly ahead of the game for some time.
