The Gap of Ingenuity2 创新的空白2
Matching
1. C 【Ingenuity, as I define it here, consists not only of ideas for new technologies like computers or drought-resistant crops but, more fundamentally, of ideas for better institutions and social arrangements, like efficient markets and competent governments.】
2. A 【How much and what kinds of ingenuity a society requires depends on a range of factors, including……, an easy cl imate or a pushing one, whatever the case may be.】
3. D 【We know that the creation of wealth, for example, depends not only on an adequate supply of useful ideas but also on the availability of other, more conventional factors of production, like capital and labor. conventional factors = traditional resources】
4. B 【Similarly, prosperity, stability and justice usually depend on the resolution, or
at least the containment, of major political struggles over wealth and power.】
选择题
5. B 【根据"incremental change of the last 100 years"定位到E段第一行，然后往后看可找到答案。"Because these changes have accumulated slowly, it's often hard for us to recognize how profound and sweeping they've.】
6. B 【In combination, these changes have sharply increased the density, intensity, and
pace of our inter actions with each other…】
7. C【…, because they are often very sensitive to the smallest of changes and perturbations, and their behavior can flip from one mode to another suddenly and dramatically.】
判断题
8. YES 【The good news, though, is that th e last century’s stunning changes in our societies and technologies have not just increased our need for ingenuity;… 】
9. YES 【…we can't always rely on the right kind of ingenuity appearing when and where we need it. 我们不能总指望在我们有需要的时候，恰好就有相应的创造产生。】
10. YES 【Very few of us have more than a rudimentary understanding of how these systems work.】
11. NO 【explore a wide range of other factors that will limit our ability to supply the ingenuity required in the coming century.】
12. NOT GIVEN 【文章并没有提到说下一代对政府管理的责备的问题】
13.YES 【题干说科学在某些领域会发展得比其他领域快，本意是科学各个方面分支发展快慢不一的现实。原文见L 段的第6行, and science's rate of advance ...意思是有些现象或领域就是比其他的现象或领域难，那么这些领域中的知识进步会非常缓慢。】
14. NO 【Progress in the social sciences is especially slow, for reasons we don't yet understand. 文章中说的是由于某些未知的原因，社会科学的进步尤其缓慢，而不是题干中说的，社会科学不如自然科学重要。】
Density and Crowding 拥挤和人口密度
1. iv Problems that result in crowding 【.., there are three significant trends ...All of these trends are producing increased crowding and perception of crowding.】
2. vii definitions of crowding and density【...crowding and density are no necessarily the same. Density is ...Crowding is ...】
3. x Nature and results of Calhoun’s experiment 【A classic crowding study was done by Calhoun,.......B段讲述了Calhoun的一个关于拥挤的研究，当受到空间限制的时候，出现的一些列负面影响。】
4. i Other experiments on the base of Calhoun’s experiment【D段首句有说other research啊~主要是D段首句就明确提及＂Calhoun的result使得后面进行了其他研究＂这就体现了选项中的＂on the base of Calhoun's experiment＂】
5. vi What cause the upset feel of crowding【There are several reasons why crowding makes us feel uncomfortable.】
6. ii The effects of crowding in the social scope on people 【F 段中监狱的性别（male and female）的举例子这是本段几个支持细节中的一个，所以选择ix （明显迷惑选项），因为无法概括第1句中心句和后面低个例子offered helping diffusion（提供帮助减少）例子就没有性别概念；F段首句即说了social density is associated with negative effects on human beings。讲density对人类的影响，段落接下来具体举了很多了例子进行支持。与选项ii意思相符。B段区分的是纯粹的＂density＂的概念。而F段用的是＂social density＂】
7. viii Advice for crowded work environment【Facing all these problems, what are we going to do with them?....The ability to cope with crowding is also influenced by the relationship the individual has with the other people in the situation.面临问题该怎么办，体现了选项中的advice】
8. privacy 【There are strong feelings of a lack of privacy-being unable to pay attention to what you want without being repeatedly interrupted or observed by
others.】
9. male prison 【题目问的是inmates。其实可以这么想，如果你填small rooms 成立的话，其实后半句里的large rooms也就有可能也是答案了。9题与F段第三句替换了：inmates in high density settings = inmates living in conditions of higher
densities;9题与F段第三句间的关系：inmates in high density settings = inmates
living in conditions of higher densities，more aggressive = more likely to suffer from
fight。因此答案就浮出水面了：male prison】
10. personal space【These differences relate to the different personal space
requirements of the genders.因为need就是requirement的意思再填requirement 就多余了;且10题gender已经与题目中的male and female替换了】
11. attraction/attraction levels【Besides, baum and Greenberg found that high density leads to decreased attraction, both physical attraction and link towards others and it appears to have gender differences in impact that density has on attraction levels, with males experiencing a more extreme reaction】
12. help 【This may be due to the fact that people diffuse responsibility among
themselves with no-one feeling that they ought to be the one to help. 12题be
reluctant to do sth. 判断词性为动词原形。】
13. control 【The more control a person has over the crowded environment the less negatively they experience it, thus the perceived crowding is less(Schmidt and Keating).】

automobiles in 1888 in a company later became the famous Mercedes-Benz.】
2. A【This was facilitated by Henry Ford who did two important things. First he priced his car to be as affordable as possible and second, he paid his workers enough to be able to purchase the cars they were manufacturing.】
3. B 【BMC’s revolutionary space-saving Mini, which first appeared in 1959, captured large sales worldwide.】

5. F 【..and made a huge leap in sale during World War II, as well as the postwar period.】
问答题
6. Petrol-fueled internal combustion.【In 1806, the first cars powered by an internal combustion engine running on fuel gas appeared which led to the introduction in 1885 of the ubiquitous modern petrol-fueled internal combustion engine. 题干要求的是
“late 19th century (19世纪末期)”，因此答案不是“internal combustion”。】
7. Token of identity.【Everyone in town knew who owned what car and the cars were
soon to become each individual’s token of identity.】
8. 1 hour 33 minutes (或者93 minutes).【The large-scale, production-line manufacturing of affordable automobiles was debuted Ford’s cars came off the line in fifteen minute intervals, much faster than previous methods, increasing productivity eight fold (requiring 12.5 man-hours before, 1 hour 33 minutes after). 文中的15分钟
是指生产两辆车之间的间隔。Interval：间隔，间距】
9. Polluting gas-guzzler.【Mazda had much success with its “Rotary” engine which,
however, acquired a reputation as a polluting gas-guzzler. 文中“reputation”意为“名声，荣誉”。】
10. Oil crisis.【But everything changed in the 1970s as the 1973 oil crisis, automobile emissions control rules, Japanese and European imports, and stagnant innovation wreaked havoc on the American industry.】
11. Power.【Once the automobile emissions concerns of the 1970s were conquered with computerised engine management systems, power began to rise rapidly.】
12. Fuel (或者gasoline or diesel).【Most automobiles in use today are propelled by an internal combustion engine, fueled by gasoline or diesel. Both fuels are known to cause air pollution and are also blamed for contributing to climate change and global warming.】
选择题
13. B【本文通篇叙述的都是汽车设计发展与革新，B答案与此内容相符。而A、C答案是文中的某部分，不够完整；D答案的人类发展史则并未提及。】
解密记忆力
1. E【此题不是很好定位，根据顺序原则定位到E段末句，讲到“大量有关于记忆力的书籍出版，并且记忆力和语法，逻辑以及修辞学并列被视为传统教育的一部分”原文所述与题目的“significant"相对应，但题目还问了” reason“，那可以往前找，此段前面讲到，因此一次灾难，让人发现我们大脑擅长记忆形象和空间信息。后面又说因此，位置记忆法开始流行，这里就对应了题目中的"the reason why competence of super memory".因此答案为E】
2. A【In the 14 years since the World Memory Championships was founded, no one
has memorized the order of a shuffled deck of playing cards in less than 30seconds. 】3. C 【Cooke,23-year-old cognitive-science graduate student with...he can memorize the order of 10 grand master off brain storage.】

1. iii 【“many films of the early silent era dealt with gender relations."这里面讲到从无声电影开始就有处理两性之间的关系。“while D.W. Griffith’s films presented an idealized picture of the frail Victorian child-woman, and showed an almost obsessive preoccupation with female honor and chastity, other silent movies presented quite
different images of feminity."这里面讲到“虽然D.W. Griffith的电影提供了一个理想化的虚弱维多利亚小妇女,和几乎是十分投入的展示了关注女性的荣誉和贞洁, 呈现出与其他无声电影完全不同的女性的形象"。这两部分分别讲到从无声电影到D.W. Griffith的电影”，对应题目中的“development of American film",因此，正确答案为iii.】
2. i 【B段整段都在讲D.W. Griffith与他的团队，一直在通过对镜头的处理，然后怎样获利，进行讲解，因此正确答案为i。】

2015年雅思阅读模拟试题及答案解析三
Time to cool it 1 REFRIGERATORS are the epitome of clunky technology： solid， reliable and just a little bit dull. They have not changed much over the past century， but then they have not needed to. They are based on a robust and effective idea--draw heat from the thing you want to cool by evaporating a liquid next to it， and then dump that heat by pumping the vapour elsewhere and condensing it. This method of pumping heat from one place to another served mankind well when refrigerators' main jobs were preserving food and， as air conditioners， cooling buildings. Today's high-tech world， however， demands high-tech refrigeration. Heat pumps are no longer up to the job. The search is on for something to replace them. 2 One set of candidates are known as paraelectric materials. These act like batteries when they undergo a temperature change： attach electrodes to them and they generate a current. This effect is used in infra-red cameras. An array of tiny pieces of paraelectric material can sense the heat radiated by， for example， a person， and the pattern of the array's electrical outputs can then be used to construct an image. But until recently no one had bothered much with the inverse of this process. That inverse exists， however. Apply an appropriate current to a paraelectric material and it will cool down. 3 Someone who is looking at this inverse effect is Alex Mischenko， of Cambridge University. Using commercially available paraelectric film， he and his colleagues have generated temperature drops five times bigger than any previously recorded. That may be enough to change the phenomenon from a laboratory curiosity to something with commercial applications. 4 As to what those applications might be， Dr Mischenko is still a little hazy. He has， nevertheless， set up a company to pursue them. He foresees putting his discovery to use in more efficient domestic fridges and air conditioners. The real money， though， may be in cooling computers. 5 Gadgets containing microprocessors have been getting hotter for a long time. One consequence of Moore's Law， which describes the doubling of the number of transistors on a chip every 18 months， is that the amount of heat produced doubles as well. In fact， it more than doubles， because besides increasing in number，the components are getting faster. Heat is released every time a logical operation is performed inside a microprocessor， so the faster the processor is， the more heat it generates. Doubling the frequency quadruples the heat output. And the frequency has doubled a lot. The first Pentium chips sold by Dr Moore's company，Intel， in 1993， ran at 60m cycles a second. The Pentium 4--the last "single-core" desktop processor--clocked up 3.2 billion cycles a second. 6 Disposing of this heat is a big obstruction to further miniaturisation and higher speeds. The innards of a desktop computer commonly hit 80℃. At 85℃， they

雅思阅读细节匹配题型怎么提高
雅思阅读细节匹配题型怎么提高本期为大家带来的是雅思阅读中段落细节信息匹配题，题目一般为句子，A reference to…An explanation of…A reason for…开头一般比较抽象，所以题目中的Key Words经常出现在后半部分，抽象的description，statement，details都不可作为Key Words。 这里请注意，匹配题作为难题担当，一般是会出现乱序的，即你在原文可能先读到后面题目的答案句。这样的话，建议的是划出匹配题中所有关键词，遇到哪题的答案句先解那道题。 也有给出ABC+描述型句子的匹配，这种类型较简单，一般选项就可以回原文定位，加上描述中关键词的定位，每道题答案通常离得不远，一般都是顺序做题。 你可能会说这么多关键词怎么记，这就表明短时间的记忆力对于做题是很必要的了。划定的KW也有其特征，对于阅读同义替换总结记忆得越熟练，解题就越快，因为同义替换就是雅思的考点，答案一般都被同义替换了，如果识别不了，自然就做不出来。>>>点击咨询雅思阅读技巧 雅思阅读题型 做题时，首先读懂题目说的是什么，如果题目都没读懂就仓促找KW，那只能是浪费时间。接下来画出KW（作用是帮在原文定位关键句）然后读原文，遇到KW时即可回到题目做匹配。这类题目难点在于如果对KW的同义替换不敏感，容易漏掉题目。因此建议平时加强同义替换的总结与记忆，在考试中做到不返回看，除非最后还有时间，不然就会做不完。 注意在原文中寻找时，答案通常是一个关键的句子，不用通过整个段落去判断，最多多看关键句前后两句即可。这要求我们对雅思文章行文结构有一定了解，并且结合skinning & scanning的阅读方式。雅思文章大多来源于学术期刊的论文，包含说明文和议论文体裁，议论文中，文章结构可能是层层递进，先给出一个背景引入，然后给出相关信息，再提出作者自己的见解；说明文结构较好把握，一般是总-分-（总）的写作模式，先开门见山地给出一个理论，通常某一题的答案在第一段就会出现了，然后分别论述几个要点，最后再给出新的观点或对主题的升华，比如future，suggestion这样的字眼。 新通教育

雅思阅读模拟试题及答案解析（2）
Next Year Marks the EU's 50th Anniversary of the Treaty A. After a period of introversion and stunned self-disbelief，continental European governments will recover their enthusiasm for pan-European institution-building in . Whether the European public will welcome a return to what voters in two countries had rejected so short a time before is another matter. B. There are several reasons for Europe’s recovering self-confidence. For years European economies had been lagging dismally behind America (to say nothing of Asia)， but in the large continental economies had one of their best years for a decade， briefly outstripping America in terms of growth. Since politics often reacts to economic change with a lag，’s improvement in economic growth will have its impact in ， though the recovery may be ebbing by then. C. The coming year also marks a particular point in a political cycle so regular that it almost seems to amount to a natural law. Every four or five years， European countries take a large stride towards further integration by signing a new treaty： the Maastricht treaty in 1992， the Treaty of Amsterdam in 1997， the Treaty of Nice in . And in they were supposed to ratify a European constitution， laying the ground for yet more integration—until the calm rhythm was rudely shattered by French and Dutch voters. But the political impetus to sign something every four or five years has only been interrupted，not immobilised， by this setback. D. In the European Union marks the 50th anniversary of another treaty—the Treaty of Rome， its founding charter. Government leaders have already agreed to celebrate it ceremoniously， restating their commitment to “ever closer union” and the basic ideals of European unity. By itself， and in normal circumstances， the EU’s 50th-birthday greeting to itself would be fairly meaningless， a routine expression of European good fellowship. But it does not take a Machiavelli to spot that once governments have signed the declaration (and it seems unlikely anyone would be so uncollegiate as to veto

雅思阅读填空题(让考官告诉你)
雅思阅读summary填空题是雅思阅读题中常见题型, 在阅读考试中占较大的比重. 同时也是众多考生头痛的一种题型. 因为此题型不仅考查考生快速准确理解阅读文章的主旨能力, 也考查考生对定位,同义转化以及语义间逻辑关系的灵敏度. 总的来说, 雅思阅读summary填空题主要有两种形式: 一种是单词填空式, 这种形式主要针对文章全文或者部分段落写出的一篇摘要, 空出若干空格, 要求考生从文章中寻找相应的单词进行填空; 另一种是单词选择式, 就是在第一种形式的基础上, 额外提供了一个词库, 要求考生从词库中选词填空. 下面环球雅思的老师将详细讲解如何快速而有效的解答这两种形式的summary填空题. 单词填空式 解题策略 对于单词填空式题, 一般把握三个关键信息: 逻辑关系词, 语法属性, 定位. 首先, 观察空格前后是否有语义间有逻辑关系的连接词, 即逻辑关系词推断. 这类表示空格前后内容逻辑关系的连接词主要包括:
①表示因果关系的词, 如because, as, since, for, due to, thanks to, as a result of等. 在考试中, 在因果关系中除了一些连接词的衔接外, 还有一些表示因果关系的大词, 如trigger, breed, induce, engender, generate, be responsible for, affect, determine等, 这些词在语义中隐含了因果关系. 所以也是考生在解题中值得注意的. ②表示转折关系的词, 如but, however, while, yet, instead, rather, whereas等 ③表示让步关系的词, 如despite, in spite of, although等 ④表示并列关系的词, 如and, both…and…, neither…nor等 ⑤表示举例关系的词, 如such as, for example等 观察有无这类词的目的在于为了回原文定位时, 能缩小寻找范围, 使定位更加准确. 在文章阅读中, 题目中的某些单词会进行同义转换而变得面目全非，但是句意不会变，语义关系不会变，这是最可靠的定位依据。从而逻辑关系词对于考生在解题中把握语义间的内在关系起了关键作用. 如剑桥4 Test 2 Passage 1 Lost for words 一篇中的summary 题中This great variety of languages came about largely as a result of geographical ___Q1______. But in today’s world, factors such as government initiatives and ____Q2_____ are contributing to a huge decrease in the number of languages. One factor which may help to ensure that some endangered languages do not die out completely is people’s increasing appreciation of their ____Q3_____.
雅思阅读选择题四种解题技巧
雅思阅读选择题四种解题技巧 雅思阅读选择题总会用各个选项来迷惑人，下面教育优选来为大家分享雅思阅读选择题的解题技巧 1. 如果一个选项合乎题意，还要看其它选项中是否有both…and、all of theabove 的字样。 我们举一个中文阅读的例子： 原文：如果你随便停车，要罚你款，还要把你的车拖走。 题目：如果你随便停车，将： A. 被罚款 B. 你的车被拖走 C. 没事儿 D. both被罚款and你的车被拖走答案：D 如果选项中有一个是all of the above，它是正确选项的可能性很大。Both…and是正确选项比all of the above小一些。总之，如果一个选项合乎题意，不要马上选。看一眼其余选项中是否有both…and，all of theabove的字样。 2. 注意题干中是否有not，except的字样。 题干中有这些词时，通常是将它们大写并使用黑体，特别醒目。如果不注意看，必然答错题。
如前面的关于帕金森症的中文阅读文章，可能出一道四选一的题目： 题目：下面的人得过帕金森症EXCEPT A. 邓小平 B. 里根 C. 拳王阿里 D. 陈景润答案：B 3. 干扰选项的特点 做选择题的过程就是与干扰选项做斗争的过程。清楚干扰选项的特点，就能做到百战百胜。干扰选项特征如下： A. 无 选项中所讲的内容在原文中根本不存在，或找不到语言依据。要注意，答题的唯一依据是原文，不能凭借自己的知识或主观想象。 B. 反 与原文相矛盾的选项。这时要注意题干或原文中是否有NOT、EXECPT等词，也要注意反义词。 C. 满 含有“绝对意义”的词汇如must、always、all、will的选项，一般为错误选项。选项中含有“相对意义”的词汇如can、may、sometimes、some、not always，一般为正确答案。也就是说，越是模棱两可、含含糊糊，越可能是正确答案，因为它适用的范围更广。这条规律的适用性很强，实践证明它的准确率在90%以上。 D. 偏 似是而非，与原句部分相似的选项。这是不太容易排除的。

ACADEMIC READING 60 minutes READING PASSAGE 1 You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 1-13 which are based on Reading Passage 1 below. Striking Back at Lightning With Lasers Seldom is the weather more dramatic than when thunderstorms strike. Their electrical fury inflicts death or serious injury on around 500 people each year in the United States alone. As the clouds roll in, a leisurely round of golf can become a terrifying dice with death - out in the open, a lone golfer may be a lightning bolt's most inviting target. And there is damage to property too. Lightning damage costs American power companies more than $100 million a year. But researchers in the United States and Japan are planning to hit back. Already in laboratory trials they have tested strategies for neutralising the power of thunderstorms, and this winter they will brave real storms, equipped with an armoury of lasers that they will be pointing towards the heavens to discharge thunderclouds before lightning can strike. The idea of forcing storm clouds to discharge their lightning on command is not new. In the early 1960s, researchers tried firing rockets trailing wires into thunderclouds to set up an easy discharge path for the huge electric charges that these clouds generate. The technique survives to this day at a test site in Florida run by the University of Florida, with support from the Electrical Power Research Institute (EPRI), based in California. EPRI, which is funded by power companies, is looking at ways to protect the United States' power grid from lightning strikes. 'We can cause the lightning to strike where we want it to using rockets,' says Ralph Bernstein, manager of lightning projects at EPR!. The rocket site is providing precise measurements of lightning voltages and allowing engineers to check how electrical equipment bears up. Bad behaviour But while rockets are fine for research, they cannot provide the protection from lightning strikes that everyone is looking for. The rockets cost around $1,200 each, can only be fired at a limited frequency and their failure rate is about 40 per cent. And even when they do trigger lightning, things still do not always go according to plan. 'Lightning is not perfectly well behaved,' says Bernstein. 'Occasionally, it will take a branch and go someplace it wasn't supposed to go.' And anyway, who would want to fire streams of rockets in a populated area? 'What goes up must come down,' points out Jean-Claude Diels of the University of New Mexico. Diels is leading a project, which is backed by EPRI, to try to use lasers to discharge lightning safely and safety is a basic requirement since no one wants to put themselves or their expensive equipment at risk. With around $500,000 invested so far, a promising system is just emerging from the laboratory. The idea began some 20 years ago, when high-powered lasers were revealing. their ability to extract electrons out of atoms and create ions. If a laser could generate a line of ionization in the air all the way up to a storm cloud, this conducting path could be used to guide lightning to Earth, before the electric field becomes strong enough to break down the air in an uncontrollable surge. To stop the laser itself being struck, it would not be pointed straight at the clouds. Instead it would be directed at a mirror, and from
雅思阅读-猜词技巧
【雅思阅读】阅读理解中几种常见猜词技巧 作为泛读（Extensive Reading）的一种，阅读理解在国内各类考试中都举足轻重。雅思，托福，英语专业四、八级，还有大学英语四、六级，各类考试中的阅读理解侧重点不同，但万变不离其中。很多同学都认为，突破词汇是解决阅读理解的唯一途径。词汇固然重要，但是在应试型的阅读理解中，掌握一些猜词法未尝不是行之有效的方法。下面小潘老师就给大家介绍几种常见的猜词法。 【小潘提示】 考试中的阅读理解大多为细节题，即针对个别句子和段落进行提问，所以各位童鞋不要在阅读整篇文章，了解文章大意上浪费过多时间。（通常只有20%的题目是主旨题。）拿到文章，先浏览几道问题的属性，细节题几道，主旨题几道。如果细节题占大多数，直接用Scanning找到答案所在句子，精读这几句找出答案。如果时间充裕，再处理主旨题。废话少说，介绍几种猜词法吧。 1. Definition (根据释义猜词） 在有些文章中，某些生词的词义在下文中可以得到解释或说明。这些解释有时以定义、定语从句、同位语形式出现；有时用破折号、括号、冒号、引号等符号引出；还有时用that is, or, that is to say, in other words等引出。 例如： ? Anthropology is the scientific study of man. 根据定义可知，anthropology就是“研究人类的科学”，由此可推出anthropology是“人类学”。 ? He takes a special interest in botany which concerns the study of plants. 根据定语从句中which concerns the study of plants可知botany是“植物学”。

Selling Digital Music without Copy-protection Makes Sense A. It was uncharacteristically low-key for the industry’s greatest showman. But the essay published this week by Steve Jobs， the boss of Apple，on his firm’s website under the unassuming title “Thoughts on Music” has nonetheless provoked a vigorous debate about the future of digital music，which Apple dominates with its iPod music-player and iTunes music-store. At issue is “digital rights management” (DRM)—the technology guarding downloaded music against theft. Since there is no common standard for DRM， it also has the side-effect that songs purchased for one type of music-player may not work on another. Apple’s DRM system， called FairPlay， is the most widespread. So it came as a surprise when Mr. Jobs called for DRM for digital music to be abolished. B. This is a change of tack for Apple. It has come under fire from European regulators who claim that its refusal to license FairPlay to other firms has “locked in” customers. Since music from the iTunes store cannot be played on non-iPod music-players (at least not without a lot of fiddling)， any iTunes buyer will be deterred from switching to a device made by a rival firm， such as Sony or Microsoft. When French lawmakers drafted a bill last year compelling Apple to open up FairPlay to rivals， the company warned of “state-sponsored piracy”. Only DRM， it implied， could keep the pirates at bay. C. This week Mr. Jobs gave another explanation for his former defence of DRM： the record companies made him do it. They would make their music available to the iTunes store only if Apple agreed to protect it using DRM. They can still withdraw their catalogues if the DRM system is compromised. Apple cannot license FairPlay to others， says Mr Jobs， because it would depend on them to produce security fixes promptly. All DRM does is restrict consumer choice and provide a barrier to entry， says Mr Jobs； without it there would be far more stores and players， and far more innovation. So， he suggests， why not do away with DRM and sell music unprotected？“This is
