Within hours of arriving in Angola television screens around the world were filled with images of her comforting victims injured in explosions caused by landmines. “I knew the statistics,” she said, “But putting a face to those figures brought the reality home to me; like when I met Sandra, a 13-year-old girl who had lost her leg, and people like her.”The Princess concluded with a simple message: “We must stop landmines”. And she used every opportunity during her visit to repeat this message.But, back in London, her views were not shared by some members of the British government, which refused to support a ban on these weapons. Angry politicians launched an attack on the Princess in the press. They described her as “very ill-informed” and a “loose cannon (乱放炮的人).”The Princess responded by brushing aside the criticisms: “This is a distraction we do not need. All Im trying to do is help.”Opposition parties, the media and the public immediately voiced their support for the Princess. To make matters worse for the government, it soon emerged that the Princesss trip had been approved by the Foreign Office, and that she was in fact very well-informed about both the situation in Angola and the British governments policy regarding landmines. The result was a severe embarrassment for the government.To try and limit the damage, the Foreign Secretary, Malcolm Rifkind, claimed that the Princesss views on landmines were not very different from government policy, and that it was “working towards” a worldwide ban. The Defence Secretary, Michael Portillo, claimed the matter was “a misinterpretation or misunderstanding”.For the Princess, the trip to this war-torn country was an excellent opportunity to use her popularity to show the world how much destruction and suffering landmines can cause. She said that the experience had also given her the chance to get closer to people and their problems.56. Princess Diana paid a visit to Angola in 1997_. A. to voice her support for a total ban of landmines. B. to clarify the British governments stand on landmines. C. to investigate the sufferings of landmine victims. D. to establish her image as a friend of landmine victims.57. What did Diana mean when she said“putting a face to those figures brought the reality home to me” (Para.1)?A. She just couldnt bear to meet the landmine victims face to face.B. The actual situation in Angola made her feel like going back home.C. Meeting the landmine victims in person made her believe the statistics.D. Seeing the pain of the victims made her realize the seriousness of the situation.58. How did Diana respond to the criticisms?A. She made more appearances on TV. B. She paid no attention to them.C. She met the 13-year-old girl as planned. D. She rose to argue with her opponents.59. What did Princess Diana think of her visit to Angola?A. It had caused embarrassment to the British government. B. It had brought her closer to the ordinary people.C. It had greatly promoted her popularity. D. It had affected her relations with the British government.B THE year of 2014 has been jam-packed with events good, bad, and ugly. But no matter what has happened, smart people have always been busy inventing. Here are some of the inventions of 2014 that have helped to make the world better, smarter, and a little more fun. Super banana Australian biogeneticist James Dale visited Uganda, a poor African country, in the early 2000s. There, he found that 15-30 percent of children under 5 were at risk of going blind because they did not get enough Vitamin A. Dale also learned that people there love bananas. They eat three to 11 bananas a day. So he came up with the idea to plant bananas containing added nutrition in order to improve Ugandans health. With the help of Bill Gates foundation, Dale developed the “super banana”. He added a gene to the fruit, making it rich in Vitamin A. In June, “super bananas” began human trials in the US. Coaching basketball Basketball is popular worldwide, partly because you only need a hoop and a ball to play the game. But this simple game has experienced a technology makeover this year with the development of a smart-sensor basketball. The ball, called the 94Fifty Basketball, has nine sensors inside. They can tell you anything from how fast you are going to how accurate your shot angles are. With a Bluetooth chip inside, the basketball can connect to your smartphone and tell you in the voice of a coach to “snap your wrist (传旋转球)”, or “go faster”, depending on the data. The Hovercraft Thanks to the California-based company Hendo, flying past your friends on a floating board could soon become a reality. The Hovercraft has four small engines. These create a special magnetic field which generates (产生) enough force to lift the board off the ground, according to . At the moment, the hoverboard can only float an inch off the ground for 15 minutes and must fly over a metallic material. Its expensive too, at $10,000 (61,810 yuan), but the company hopes that one day the technology could be used to improve the world. Wireless electricity Most of us could not bear to live without wireless Internet. We use it every day for everything from our phones to our cars. But one company wants to go a step further, by combining wireless technology with electricity. Thats right, no more tangled (缠绕的) wires and no more having to sit and hold your cell phone near a power socket in the corner of the room. WiTricity, a US company, has invented technology that can power objects up to 2.4 meters away. It uses a special plug-in coil (线圈) that creates a magnetic field.60. Which of the following statements would James Dale agree with? A. Vitamin A is largely found in fruits like bananas. B. Children in Uganda should eat fewer bananas. C. Scientists could make use of peoples eating habits to develop new food products. D. “Super bananas” are definitely a safe biological product.61. What is the biggest advantage of the 94Fifty Basketball? A. It allows players to connect to their smartphones while playing basketball. B. It can help players to improve their shooting and ball handling skills. C. The bluetooth chip inside allows its users to listen to music while playing basketball. D. The sensors hidden inside can help players run faster in a game.62. According to the article, the Hovercraft _. A. enables its users to fly in the sky B. could work on many different kinds of surfaces C. is an affordable means of transportation for an average family D. still needs to improve its power and efficiency63. We can learn from the article that both the Hovercraft and WiTricity _. A. are technologies that generate electricity B. use magnetic fields to improve our daily lives C. can apply their technologies to everything from our phones to our cars D. use wireless technology to improve the performance of their products64. The article is most likely to be taken from _.

Show them whos the boss right from the start.” These words from my teacher stayed with me through my student teaching, but I couldnt seem to put them to use. With my student teaching behind me, I started out at a school in another part of town and was determined not to face another classroom where I didnt have control. Day one I read my new fourth grade the longest list of rules theyd ever heard. I was the teacher. I
