a. the grandchild was eager to leave. b. they would have more chats. c. the lights would go out again. d. it would no longer be dark. b handshaking, though a european practice is often seen in big cities of china, nobody knows exactly when the practice started in europe. it is said that long long ago in europe when people met, they showed their unarmed (无武器的) hands to each other as a sign of goodwill. as time went on and trade in cities grew rapidly, people in cities began to clap each others hands to make a deal or to reach an agreement. this practice was later changed into shaking hands among friends on meeting or leaving each other. “lets shake (hands) on it” sometimes means agreement reached.do the europeans shake hands wherever they go and with whomever they meet? no. sometimes the chinese abroad reach out their hands too often to be polite. it is really very impolite to give your hand when the other party, especially when it is a woman, shows little interest in shaking hands with you and when the meeting does not mean anything to him or her. even if, for politeness, he holds out his unwilling hand in answer to your uninvited hand, just touch it slightlythere is generally a misunderstanding among the chinese that westerners are usually open and straightforward, while the chinese are rather reserved (保守的) in manner. but in fact some people in western countries more reserved than some chinese today. so it is a good idea to shake hands with a westerner only when he shows interest in further relations with you.24. in the old days in europe, people put out their unarmed hands to each other _.a. to make a deal b. to greet each otherc. to show friendliness d. to reach an agreement25. the first paragraph mainly tells us _.a. where handshaking was first practicedb. how handshaking came aboutc. about the relationship between handshaking and trade d. about the practice of handshaking both in europe and in china26. according to the text, which of the following statements is true?a. westerners are more reserved than the chinese.b. westerners are unwilling to shake hands.c. we should make a judgment before shaking hands.d. we shouldnt shake hands with european women.27. the main purpose of the text is _.a. to tell us some differences between the east and the westb. to offer us some important facts about handshakingc. to introduce to us some different customs in the westd. to give us some advice before we travel abroad c tim richter and his wife, linda, had taught for over 30 years near buffalo, new yorkhe in computers, she in special education. “teaching means everything to us,” tim would say. in april 1998, he learned he would need a heart operation. it was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about lifes purpose. not long after the surgery, tim saw a brochure describing imagination library, a program started by dolly partons foundation (基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singers home town of sevier, tennessee. “i thought, maybe linda and i could do something like this when we retire,” tim recalls. he placed the brochure on his desk as a reminder. five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, tim clicked on imagination . the program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts. the quality of the books was of great concern to the richters. rather than sign up online, they went to dollywood for a look-see. “we didnt want to give the children rubbish,” says linda. the books-reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists and dollywood board membersincluded classics such as ezra jack keatss the snowy day and newer books like anna dewdneys llama llama series. satisfied, the couple set up the richter family foundation and got to work. since 2004, they have shipped more than 12, 200 books to preschoolers in their area. megan williams, a mother of four, is more than appreciative: “this program introduces us to books ive never heard of .” the richters spend about 400 a month sending books to 200 children. “some people sit there and wait to die,” says tim. “others get as busy as they can in the time they have left.” 28. what led tim to think seriously about the meaning of life?

a. he needs more money to help the children. b. he wonders why some people are so busy. c. he tries to save those waiting to die. d. he considers his efforts worthwhile. d since the 1970s, scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers. brain-computer interface(bci) technology could help people with disabilities to send orders to machines. recently, two researchers, jose milan and michele tavella from the federal polytechnic school in lausanne, switzerland, showed a small robotic wheelchair directed by a persons thoughts. in the laboratory, tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right hand. he could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts. “our brain has billions of nerve cells. these send signals through the spinal cord （脊髓）to the muscles to give us the ability to move. but spinal cord injuries or other cases can prevent these weak signals from reaching the muscles,” tavella says. “our system allows disabled people to communicate with the outside world and also to control machines.” the researchers designed a special cap for the user. this cap picks up the signals from the scalp(头皮) and sends them to a computer. the computer interprets the signals and commands the robotic wheelchair. the wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path. they help the computer react to commands from the brain. prof. milan, the team leader says his team has set two goals. one is testing with real patients, so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from. and the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time.32. how did tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory?
