In recent years, contemporary technological innovations have had a profound impact on people's lifestyles. Take smart homes as an example. Smart homes are equipped with a variety of intelligent devices that can be connected to the Internet. These devices can be remotely controlled by users through their smartphones or other mobile devices. For instance, you can turn on the air - conditioner before you arrive home on a hot summer day, so that you can enter a cool and comfortable environment immediately.
Mobile payment is another significant innovation. It has almost replaced the traditional way of paying with cash or cards in many situations. With just a few taps on your mobile phone, you can pay for your purchases in stores, restaurants, or even for online shopping. This not only saves time but also provides greater convenience. People no longer need to carry a large amount of cash or worry about losing their cards.
Moreover, the development of wearable devices also changes people's daily habits. Smartwatches can monitor our health conditions such as heart rate, sleep quality, etc. They can also receive notifications from our smartphones, allowing us to stay informed without having to take out our phones all the time.
In conclusion, contemporary technological innovations have brought great convenience and changes to people's lifestyles, and this trend is likely to continue in the future.

<背景文章>
In the realm of world - famous literary works, characters often serve as powerful mirrors reflecting the social phenomena of their times. Take "Jane Eyre" as an example. Jane Eyre, a remarkable female character, was created in a society where class distinctions were extremely rigid. Jane was an orphan, poor and of low social status. She worked as a governess at Thornfield Hall, where she fell in love with Mr. Rochester, the master of the house. Mr. Rochester was a complex figure. He was wealthy and had a certain air of mystery around him. His past was filled with secrets, including his previous marriage to a mad woman locked in the attic. This
situation not only added to the dramatic tension in the story but also reflected the constraints of the marriage laws and the social attitude towards the mentally ill at that time.
In "The Great Gatsby", Jay Gatsby is another iconic character. Gatsby lived in the Jazz Age, a time of great prosperity but also moral decay in the United States. He was a self - made man who had amassed great wealth through somewhat mysterious means. His sole purpose in life seemed to be to win back his lost love, Daisy. Daisy was a symbol of the upper - class society, beautiful but also rather shallow and materialistic. Gatsby's pursuit of Daisy was not just a love story; it reflected the gap between the rich and the poor, and the illusory nature of the American Dream. The parties he threw were extravagant displays of wealth, trying to attract Daisy's attention, but in the end, his dreams were shattered, showing the hollowness of the upper - class lifestyle and the futility of chasing after something that was based on false values.
These literary characters, through their stories, give us deep insights into the social structures, values, and problems of their respective eras.
6. What was the main obstacle for Jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester's relationship in "Jane Eyre"?

In the face of global environmental challenges, international cooperation has become an absolute necessity. Climate change, for instance, is no longer a problem confined to a single nation. Rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and the disruption of ecosystems are all consequences of global warming that affect every corner of the world.
The Paris Agreement, a landmark in the fight against climate change, is a prime example of global cooperation. It brings together nearly all the world's nations in a common cause to combat climate change and adapt to its effects. Under this agreement, countries have pledged to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, aiming to keep the global temperature rise well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre - industrial levels. However, the implementation of such agreements is not without challenges.
Trans - boundary pollution is another major issue. Rivers that cross multiple countries can carry pollutants from one nation to another. For example, industrial waste dumped into a river in one country can contaminate the water downstream in other countries. This requires coordinated efforts among different nations to monitor and control pollution sources.
Moreover, developing countries often face unique challenges in environmental protection. They may lack the necessary financial resources and advanced technologies compared to developed countries. International cooperation can play a crucial role here by providing financial assistance
and technology transfer to help these countries meet environmental standards.
11. What is the main purpose of the Paris Agreement?
A. To promote economic development among countries.

C. To increase greenhouse gas emissions.

Modern art forms, such as street art and digital art, have been emerging and evolving at an astonishing pace in recent decades. Street art, which was once considered as a form of vandalism in some places, has now become a powerful means of self - expression and a significant part of urban culture. Graffiti artists use walls, bridges, and other public spaces as their canvases, creating vivid and thought - provoking works that often convey strong social and political messages.
Digital art, on the other hand, is a product of the digital age. With the development of technology, artists can now create art using digital tools
such as software programs, tablets, and digital painting pens. Digital art can range from simple graphic designs to complex 3D animations and virtual reality experiences. It has broken the limitations of traditional art materials and techniques, allowing artists to explore new creative possibilities.
These modern art forms have had a profound impact on traditional art concepts. Traditionally, art was often associated with galleries, museums, and high - brow institutions. However, modern art forms are more accessible and democratic. Street art can be seen by anyone on the street, and digital art can be easily shared on the Internet. This has challenged the exclusivity of traditional art. Moreover, the speed at which modern art forms can be created and disseminated is much faster than that of traditional art, which has also shaken the traditional view of the time - consuming nature of art creation.

In modern society, the mental health of teenagers has become an increasingly prominent issue. With the rapid development of technology
and the increasing pressure of study and life, more and more teenagers are facing various mental health problems.
On one hand, the prevalence of mental health problems among teenagers is quite alarming. Depression, anxiety, and stress - related disorders are among the most common issues. For example, in schools, a significant number of students often feel extremely tired and lack the motivation to study. This may be due to the high - expectation academic environment where they are constantly under the pressure of exams and grades.
On the other hand, there are multiple causes contributing to this situation. Family environment plays a crucial role. In some families, parents are too busy with their work and neglect the emotional communication with their children. Moreover, the influence of the digital world cannot be ignored. The excessive use of social media and online games may lead to teenagers' isolation from real - life social interactions, which in turn affects their mental well - being.
To address these problems, several strategies can be adopted. Schools should provide more mental health education courses, which can help students understand their mental states better and learn how to deal with negative emotions. At the same time, families need to create a warm and harmonious family atmosphere, and parents should spend more time listening to their children's inner thoughts. In addition, teenagers
themselves should also learn to adjust their attitudes, actively participate in outdoor activities, and strengthen their physical and mental fitness.
