Sihanoukville, Cambodia
11、is a seaside town located 200km or a fourhour bus ride away from the countrys capital, Phnom Penh. With several beaches and small offshore islands, it is definitely not a place to miss out if you are intending to visit Angkor Wat, as the beaches there are stunning and still unspoiled by mass tourism

28、ut of your hands so it can capture moments on its own.This roughly 2-inch by 2-inch camera, with a three-hour battery life and Gorilla Glass for toughness, is intended for candid moments, like when a child does something cute that may happen too quickly for you to pull out your smartphone.Onboard th
29、e Clips device, it uses machine learning algorithms (计算程序) to help capture scenes. Those algorithms include face recognition. “Once it learns that theres a face you see frequently, itll try to get nice photos of those faces,” said Juston Payne, the devices product manager. And they also want it to r

The Google team also trained it to recognize what not to shoot like when a childs hand is over the lens, or if it is tossed in a dark purse.The only way to see the images is by connecting the camera with you
31、r phone, as it has no screen for viewing or editing.Were people concerned it could seem strange? Yes, Payne admitted. But they said they addressed that by making it obvious what it is. A green light on the front signals that it is on. Besides, unlike a camera meant to monitor your home, it is not co

36、udents who had second thoughts about their chosen major and intended career path or those who majored in a field not directly connected to a specific career. If you are in one of these groups, fear not! Although your major, coursework, and academic performance are relevant to landing a job, they are
37、 not the only deciding factors on where you can work. So, just how important is your major to your job search? Some majors are tied directly to specific career fields. For example, if you wish to become a teacher, you will likely have needed to complete an education program and eventually sit for a
38、licensing exam. Successfully completing a specific major is very important to landing a job in the matching field.Other majors, however, are closely related to career paths but dont - 9 -necessarily require a degree in the area. For example, students who majored in finance or math, may also have the
39、 necessary skills to be hired as an accountant. Lastly, there are many industries, such as professional sales, education (non-teaching positions), insurance, and customer service management, which hire new graduates from several more majors, looking for more generalized (笼统的) requirements.

42、isnt the case. It may influence it, but there are other factors that influence your career options as well. If you dont know what career choices you have, talk to your faculty or academic adviser. You may be surprised at what opportunities await! 32. What is probably the best title for the passage?A

Anger is largely viewed as
46、a secondary emotion one caused by other emotions. People are thought to be angry because they are sad, anxious or stressed. 36 Today, though, a growing number of mental health experts think that anger is a serious problem that needs its own treatment.
