But eight months ago our car was hit by a passing vehicle and it was destroyed. No problem, I thought: well buy another. But the insurance payout didnt even begin to cover the costs of buying a new carI worked out that, with the loan (贷款) wed need plus petrol, insurance, parking permits and tax, we would make a payment as much as 600 a month. And thats when I had my fancy idea. Why not just give up having a car at all? I live in London. We have a railway station behind our house, a tube station 10 minutes walk away, and a bus stop at the end of the street. A new car club had just opened in our area, and one of its shiny little red Peugeots was parked nearby. If any family in Britain could live without a car, I reasoned, then surely we were that family. But my new car-free idea, sadly, wasnt shared by my family. My teenage daughters were horrified. What would their friends think about our family being “too poor to afford a car”? (I wasnt that bothered what they thought, and I suggested the girls should take the same approach.) My friends, too, were astonished at our plan. What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital? (an ambulance) How would the children get to and from their many events? (buses and trains) People smiled as though this was another of my mad ideas, before saying they were sure Id soon realize that a car was a necessity. Eight months on, I wonder whether well ever own a car again. The idea that you “have to” own a car, especially if you live in a city, is all in the mind. I liveand many other citizens do tooin a place that has never been better served by public transport, and yet car ownership has never been higher. We worry about rising car costs, but wed be better off asking something much more basic: do I really need a car? Certainly the answer is no, and Im a lot richer because I dared to ask the question.21. The author decided to live a car-free life partly because _.A. most families chose to go car-free B. he was hurt in a terrible car accidentC. the cost of a new car was too much D. the traffic jam was unbearable for him22. What is the attitude of the authors family toward his plan?A. Supportive. B. Disapproving. C. Optimistic. D. Unconcerned.23. What did the author suggest his daughters do about their friendsopinion?A. Argue against it. B. Take their advice. C. Think it over. D. Leave it alone.24. What conclusion did the author draw after the eight-month car-free life?A. Life cannot go without a car. B. Life without a car is a little bit hard. C. His life gets improved without a car. D. A car-free life does not suit everyone. B Bad teeth can be painful and even be deadly. Infections of the gums (牙龈) and teeth can release bacteria into the blood system. Those bacteria can increase the chance of a heart attack or stroke and worsen the effects of other diseases. And adults are not the only ones at risk. For example, a 12yearold boy died when a tooth infection spread to his brain in 2007 in Washington. Experts said it might have been prevented had he received the dental care he needed. Experts say good dental care starts at birth. Breast milk，they say，is the best food for the healthy development of teeth. Breast milk can help slow bacterial growth and acid production in the mouth. But dentists say a babys gums and early teeth should be cleaned after each feeding by using a cloth with a little warm water. Experts say if you decide to put your baby to sleep with a bottle, give only water. When baby teeth begin to appear，you can clean them with a wet toothbrush. Dentists say it is important to find soft toothbrushes made especially for babies and to use them very gently. The use of fluoride (氟化物) to protect teeth is common in many parts of the world. For example, it is often added to drinking water supplies. The fluoride mixes with enamel (釉质)，the hard surface on teeth, to help prevent holes from forming. But young children often swallow toothpaste when they brush their teeth. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry notes that swallowing fluoridated toothpaste can cause problems. So young children should be carefully watched when they brush their teeth. And only a small amount of fluoridated toothpaste, the size of a pea, should be used. Parents often wonder what effect finger sucking might have on their babys teeth. Dental experts generally agree that this is fine early in life. Most children stop sucking their fingers by the age of four. If it continues，experts advise parents to talk to their childrens dentists or doctors because it could interfere with the correct development of permanent teeth. Dentists say children should have their first dental visit at least by the time they are one year old. They say babies should be examined when their first teeth appearusually at around six months. 25Whats the main idea of the first paragraph?ABad teeth can be a threat to peoples health.BBad teeth come along with other health problems.CTooth infections can spread to brain easily.DDental care should be done at an early age. 26According to the passage, what is the function of fluoride?AMaking the surface on teeth much cleaner.BProtecting gums from being infected.CKeeping holes on teeth from forming.DSlowing down bacterial growth and acid production. 27What is the purpose of the author in writing the passage?ATo warn us of the deadly infections of gums and teeth.BTo introduce the advantages of fluoridated toothpaste.CTo draw our attention to the dental care of young children.DTo present the research results about dental care.

The smart umbrella syncs(同步进行) with a smartphone app, sending users updates about weather conditions 30 minutes in advance, and reminders if they happen to leave the device behind. And heres the added bonus it wont ever flip inside-out. Designed by French company Wezzoo, the rainbow-colored umbrella comes in two versions classic and modern. The classic is 3.1-ft long with a curved handle, while the modern version is 0.8-ft long with a straight handle. The company describes the device as a portable weather station, made of a reflective surface with built in sensors that record real-time data such as light, humidity, pressure, and temperature. The umbrella collects and processes this data as well as information from a social media community before sending out alerts about when its going to start raining. And if the user happens to accidentally forget it at home on a potentially rainy day, or leaves it in a restaurant, similar alerts will be sent out using GPS technology to make sure you dont lose it. “We wanted to make this umbrella unforgettable in terms of design, too,” explains Alexandre, of Escabo design studio. “We developed an exclusive material. It makes you feel you are holding an aurora borealis(北极光) in your hands. It has effects that are amazing with the light and always changing. It really makes the umbrella special.” The capsule that integrates all the technology, making the umbrella smart, is located in the handle. The umbrella is all set to hit global online and physical stores this fall. According to a company spokesperson, it will retail at 9 ($86), but the early bird price on Kickstarter is 9 ($64). For those who are rather attached to their current umbrellas, the company will also release an Oombrella capsule that can transform any umbrella into a smart device.
