five-year-old son to go to find out if there were the policemen outside. they waited for a long time and didnt think the police would come and began to gamble. suddenly a few policemen opened the door

the areas but also the building materials and the fashions for their houses. however, since electricity became more and more expensive, people began to pay much more attention to the energy they could get for their houses and the new ways they could find to protect their houses from both cold and heat.now, houses of an old yet new type have been widely built. in some parts of the world, people share their houses with their livestock（家畜）.during cold weather, they gather their cows, goats, or other animals and keep them on the first floor of their houses. the reasons are that the animals can be protected from the cold and that they can help to heat the houses as well. the body heat given off by the animals rises to the second floor of the houses, where people live. by sharing their houses with their livestock, people gain a source of heat.people who live in or near cities do not usually keep livestock. however, home builders use the fact that heat rises. this natural law can be used in building houses in these areas. instead of keeping livestock on the first floor, builders fill it with large rocks. as they are open to the suns rays during cold weather, these rocks take in heat. they also give off the heat, and, of course, the warm air rises into the living areas of the houses. so these houses are energy-saving.house-building becomes a great challenge to building designers and energy engineers. they try to meet this challenge by learning from old traditions and by using modern technology. and someday in the future, people will be able to live in more energy-saving houses.45. what did people begin to consider as electricity was no longer cheap?a. the climate of their areas.b. the energy for their houses.c. the fashions for their houses.d. the building materials for their houses.46. people in some areas gain a source of heat by _.a. keeping their livestock downstairsb. protecting their livestock from the coldc. sharing their houses only with their cowsd. living on the second floor with their livestock47. the underlined words “natural law” in the third paragraph refer to the fact that _.a. heat raises the temperature in the housesb. heat goes in the upward directionc. heat goes up if temperature is raisedd. heat increases the temperature of rocks48. from the passage, we can conclude that _.a. people will no longer consider building materials in the futureb. energy-saving buildings will become more popular in the futurec. almost all people will move into the houses heated by large rocksd. energy engineers will devote themselves only to modern technologycemma hart willard (17871870) was an american pioneer educator. in her time, colleges and universities were open only to men, and women were not permitted to attend. emma received advanced

ground was very soft. water was dripping(滴) from the trees, and the grass was wet. as they were passing through a grove(树丛) of small trees, they heard a great fluttering(拍翅) over their heads and a weak chirping(唧唧声) in the grass.“what is the matter here?” asked the first lawyer, whose name was speed. “oh, its only some birds!” said the second lawyer, whose name was hardin. “the storm has blown two of the little ones out of the nest. they are too young to fly, and the mother bird must be very worried about them.”“what a pity! theyll die down there in the grass,” said the third lawyer.“oh, well! theyre noting but birds,” said hardin. “why should we bother?”then they rode on, talking and laughing as before. in a few minutes they forgot about the birds.however, the fourth lawyer, whose name was abraham lincoln, stopped. he got down from his horse and very gently put the little ones in his big warm hands. they did not seem frightened, but chirped softly, as if they knew they were safe. then he looked up to find the nest from which they had fallen. it was much higher than he could reach from the ground, so lincoln climbed up the tree. he put the birds softly one by one into their warm little home.soon the other three lawyers stopped at a spring(泉) to give their horses water.“wheres lincoln?” asked one.all were surprised to find that lincoln was not with them.in a few minutes lincoln joined them. his shoes were covered with mud.“hello, abraham!” said hardin. “where have you been?”“i stopped a minute to give those birds to their mother,” he answered.then all three of them laughed heartilythen all three of them laughed heartily. they thought it so foolish that a strong man should take so much trouble just for some worthless little birds.“gentlemen,” said lincoln, “i would not sleep well tonight if i had left those helpless little birds on their own in the wet grass.”abraham lincoln afterwards became very famous as a lawyer and statesman. he was then elected president. next to washington, he is regarded as one of the greatest american presidents.saving the birdsbridstwo birds fell out their 53 in a tree with the rest in the nest fluttering.the four lawyers attitudes towards the birds were not the same.speedhardinthe third lawyerabraham lincolnhe just 54 what was going on here.he didnt care about the birds.he showed 55 for the birds fate.he stopped, picked the birds up and found where they had fallen. with great difficulty he climbed up to the nest which was 56 up in the tree and put the birds back, but the others laughed at him.the
