home from school that dark winter day so long ago, i was filled with excitement of having the weekend off. but i was _16_ into stillness by what i saw. mother, seated at the far end of the sofa, was _17_, with the second-hand green typewriter on the table. she told me that she couldnt _18_ fast and then she was out of work. my shock and embarrassment at finding mother in tears was a perfect proof of how _19_ i understood the pressure on her. sitting beside her on the sofa, i began very slowly to understand. “i guess we all have to _20_ something,” mother said quietly. i could sense her pain and the tension of _21_ the strong feeling that were interrupted by my arrival . suddenly, something inside me lit up. i reached out and put my arms around her. she broke then. she put her face against my shoulder and sobbed. i held her _22_ and didnt try to talk. i knew i was doing what i should, what i could and that was enough. at that moment, feeling mothers _23_with feelings, i understood for the first time her being easy to _24_. she was still my mother, yet she was something_25_: a person like me, capable of fear and _26_ and failure. i could feel her pain as she must have felt mine on a thousand occasions when i sought _27_ in her arms. a week later mother took a job selling dry goods at half the salary the radio station _28_. “its a job i can do, though.” she said simply. but the evening practice on the green typewriter _29_. i had a very different feeling now when i passed her door at night and heard her _30_ away across the paper. i knew there was something

concept phone doesnt need to plug in, it charges from any heat source. designer patrick hyland says it can even work off the warmth of your pocket. the first time “it would take approximately seven hours to reach full charge, then after that its continuously charging by keeping the phone in areas between 86 degrees and 104 degrees fahrenheit.” thats one hot pocket.?hes put a thermogenerator(热偶电池) inside the phone that transforms heat into electric potential energy. to better conduct the heat to that little power plant in your pocket, the e-cu (e for energy, cu for copper) is coated by copper backing with heat sinks like those normally used to keep electronics from overheating.nokia doesnt have current plans to build the phone, so for now it remains a concept. but hyland says hes open to anyone who wants to cooperate.for americans this technology would certainly be convenient. it would also save a bit on energy bills and waste. “annually, unwanted phone chargers produce 51,000 tons of waste in addition to the greenhouse gases created by the production of the electricity needed to charge them,” hyland says. so a charger-free phone is also a green phone. though adapting our plug in habits would help a group of people, most cell phone related energy use comes from leaving your charger plugged in all day unnecessarily.the real potential for charger-free cell phone technology is what it could enable places where plugging in isnt an option, like rural areas in the developing world.cell phones are spreading faster than power lines and bringing with them countless opportunities, aid and health advances. a phone like the e-cu, if it ever comes to be, would enable all manner of expanded aid and development by phone projects. lets hope patrick finds a partner. 31. what do we know about the e-cu phone?a. it doesnt have a battery or a charger.b. it is properly marketed and sells well. c. its continuously charging from any area. d. it has a highly conductive copper cover.32. whats the function of the underlined part “heat sinks” in paragraph 2？a. to give off heat. b. to measure heat.c. to turn up heat. d. to supply heat.33. a charger-free phone is friendly to the environment becasue .a. it is just a concept b. it is self-chargeable c. it brings convenience d. it is no waste of money34. from the last two paragraphs we can know that .a. patrick is not ready to cooperate with othersb. power lines spread every corner of the worldc. phone projects may help solve the energy crisisd. phones like the e-cu have huge potential benefits 35. what is the best title of the text?a. designer patrick hyland b. nokia concept phone on sale c. charging your phone from pockets d. benefiting from phone technology b18.baby girls make their way directly for dolls as soon as they can crawl，while boys will head for cars，a study has shownthe findings，the first to show differences in very young babies，suggest there is a biological basis to their preferences.psychologists dr brenda todd from city university london carried out an experiment involving 90 babies aged 9 months to 36 monthsthe babies were allowed to choose from seven toyssome were typically boys toys - a car，a digger，a ball and a blue teddythe rest were girls toys: a pink teddy，a doll and a cooking setthey were placed a meter away from the toys；and could pick whichever toy they liked their choice and the amount of time they spent playing with each toy were recorded.of the youngest children （9 to 14 months），girls spent significantly longer playing with the doll than boys，and boys spent much more time with the car and ball than the girls didamong the two and three-year-olds，girls spent 50 percent of the time playing with the doll while only two boys briefly touched itthe boys spent almost 90 percent of their time playing with cars，which the girls barely touchedthere was no link between the parents view on which toys were more appropriate for boys or girls，and the childrens choice.dr brenda todd said，children of this age are already exposed to much socializationboys may be giventoys that gowhile girls get toys they can care for，which may help shape their preference but these findings agree with the former idea that children show natural interests in particular kinds of toysthere could be a biological basis for their choicesmales through evolution have been adapted to prefer: moving objects，probably through hunting instincts（本能），while girls prefer warmer colors such as pink，the colour of a newborn baby. 36baby boys and girls have different toy preferences probably because_ababy boys are much more activebbaby girls like bright colours more ctheir parents treat them differentlydthere is a natural difference between them 37both baby boys and baby girls like to play with_ according to the study.aa ball ba teddy ca car da doll .38what can we infer from paragraph 3?anine-month-old baby boys dont play with dolls at all.btwo-year-old baby girls sometimes play with cars and balls.cthe older the babies are，the more obvious their preference is.dparents should teach their babies to share each others toys.39what did drbrenda todd conclude from the results of the study?aadults purposely influence their babies preference.bbabies preference isnt affected by social surroundings.cbaby boys preferring to moving toys will be good at hunting.dbaby girls preferring warmer colors will be warm-hearted 40we may read this article in a_section of a newspaper.ascience bhealth c.education dentertainment.c america is a mobile society. friendships between americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. neither side feels hurt by this. both may exchange christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while-then no more. if the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. this can be quite difficult for us chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending sometimes deeply into both families. americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. they will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality easily. another difficult point for us chinese to understand americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they dont show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. this is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. we may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. the americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. they will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. and they expect that we will phone them from there. once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. we will find ourselves treated hospitably.for the americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. so accept their hospitality at home!41. the writer of this passage must be _.a. an american b. a chinese c. a professor d. a student 42. which of the following statements is true according to the passage?a. friendships between americans usually extend deeply into their families.b. friendships between americans usually last for all their lives.c. americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.d. americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.43. from the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in america to visit an american friend, we will probably be _.a. warmly welcomed at the airport b. offered a ride to his homec. treated hospitably at his home d. treated to dinner in a restaurant44. the underlined words “generous with our time” in paragraph 3 probably mean_.a. strict with time b. serious with timec. careful with time d. willing to spend time45. a suitable title for this passage would probably be _.a. friendships between chineseb. friendships between americansc. americans hospitalityd. americans and chineses views of friendshipdfuturologists(未来学家) predict that life will probably be very different in 2050.tv channels will have disappeared. instead, people will choose a program from a “menu” and a computer will send the programme directly to the television. today, we can use the world wide web to read newspaper stories and see pictures on a computer thousands of kilometers away. by 2050, music, films, programs, newspapers, and books will come to us by computer.cars will run on new, clean fuels and they will go very fast. cars will have computers to control the speed and there wont be any accidents. today, many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are. by 2050, the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination. space planes will take people halfway around the world in 2 hours. today, the united states space shuttle can go into space and land on earth again. by 2050, space planes will fly all over the world and people will fly from los angeles to tokyo in just two hours.robots will have replaced people in factories. many factories already use robots. big companies prefer robots-they dont ask for pay rises or go on strikes, and they work 24 hours a day. by 2050, we will see robots everywhere-in factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes.medical technology will have conquered many diseases. today, there are electronic devices that connect directly to the brain to help people hear. by 2050, we will be able to help blind and deaf people to see and hear again.scientists will have discovered how to control genes. scientists have already produced clones of animals. by 2050, scientists will be able to produce clones of people, and decide how they look,
