This geographic distance allowed us to only visit our grandparents once a year, either at Christmas or during summer vacation. Most of my classmates lived near their grandparents, and I would routinely hear stories of extended families（大家庭）regularly spending time with one another, fishing at “grandpas” house or going over to “grandmas” for her famous fried chicken. We were disappointed that we did not get to spend more time with our grandparents, but our love for them remained deep and strong.We always expected a road trip to Oklahoma. We would count the days, and when Day I came, the entire family would pile into the car at four oclock in the morning. Crossing the Mississippi River into Louisiana, the landscapes （风景）changed. Crossing the Red River in Oklahoma, we were in a foreign world.Every trip to see my grandparents cant be without bringing delight. We jumped out of the car in their driveway to be met with bear hugs. My grandparents wanted to know everything about their grandchildren, and we would sit for hours and tell story after story. Grandma had a meal planned, and you could bet she fixed her grandsons favorite foods. Of course the best part of the visit was that we were able to do whatever we wanted without punishment from our grandparents. Grandma and Grandpa always had presents for us, neat scenic trips planned and lovely surprises, such as the time we got to go to a local restaurant and eat the worlds largest hamburger.21.

Its creators hope the plane will make the first aroundtheworld journey without any fuel. The plane is called Solar Impulse 2. It has one seat and is made from carbon fiber. The plane weighs only as much as a car but its wings are wider than a Boeing 747. The planes wings stretch 72 meters across. Those wings include 17,000 solar units or cells that catch the suns energy. The energy allows the plane to fly day and night. Two Swiss scientists built the plane. Bertrand Piccard is also an explorer who made the first nonstop flight around the world in a balloon, while Borschberg is an engineer and has trained fighter pilots. The scientists say they are not trying to change the airplane industry. Instead, they want to show that new energy sources and technologies can achieve what some say is impossible. “We want to show that we can fly day and night in an aircraft without a drop of fuel,” Mr. Piccard said. Some parts of the trip will require the pilots to be in the tiny plane for five to six days and nights in a row. So it is good that the pilots seat is also a toilet.The planes route begins in the United Arab Emirates. The pilots also plan stops in Oman, India, and China （the first stop in Chongqing, and then in Nanjing）. They will cross the Pacific Ocean, stop in the United States, and continue over southern Europe or North Africa. They plan to arrive back in the United Arab Emirates in late July or early August.Internet viewers can go to the Solar Impulse website to see the planes location and listen to broadcasts from the pilots.28. How long will the flight last? A. About three months. B. About four months. C. About five months. D. About half a year.29. The planes wings are made so wide in order to _.

The scientists have made Solar Impulse 2 to _.A. cut the cost of making a plane B. go on a tour around the world C. show their ability in science and technology D. prove its possible to fly with solar energy only31. What is the best title for the text?A. A long flight without fuel B. The first solarpowered plane C. Solarpowered plane starts its world tour D. A plane with the longest wings in the worldD You asked us why people dont smile in old photographs. Technology is partly to blame. The Daguerreotype, the first widely used photographic process, was invented in 1839. The exposure time in those early days was really long, sometimes lasting up to 15 minutes or so a way too long to hold a smile. But that timing was cut down pretty quickly, so there was more at play here than just the tech. Although it was less expensive than having you painted, getting your picture taken still wasnt cheap. Some people had just one photo taken their whole entire life. That made the event a pretty important and formal deal. Unlike portrait（人像）painters, photographers werent trying to catch an instant in their subjects lives, but more of an ideal of that person. Plus, back in the day, people just didnt say “cheese”.It wasnt until the turn of the 20th century when cameras became portable and easier to use that pictures turned into casual snapshots（快照）, and smiles became more common. Now, we cant get enough of those pearly whites. Submitted by W. Kristian I think they did not care if they smiled as long as they got to take the picture since it was expensive. Submitted by V. Jazmine I always wondered why people didnt smile in old photos. Finally I know that answer to it by reading this article. Thank goodness that we dont have to wait fifteen minutes to take a picture any more. Now we can take a picture easily and have a pretty smile on our face. Submitted by Jacobf In 1839, people didnt smile because the exposure time would sometimes last up to fifteen minutes. Due to the new cameras efficiency（效率）, people smiled more often.

A. had little time to smile B. failed to keep on smiling C. didnt know how to smile D. were too scared to show a smile33. What can be inferred about taking photos long time ago? A. It was cheap. B. People didnt pose for it. C. People took it seriously. D. It aimed to reflect the subjects lives.34. By “Now, we cant get enough of those pearly whites”, the author means _. A. now theres still lack of smiles in photos B. now more people are smiling in photos C. now taking photos is more common for people D. now cameras are easier for people to get and use35. Where does the text probably come from? A. A website. B. A book review. C. A business report. D.

The crowds, the noise and flying itself can cause tension. 36 And similar training is also provided for service dogs that suffer the same problem. 37 You will see them working on buses and trains, and in other public transport systems. But the busy environment at an airport can trouble even the best-trained working dog. 38 They want the animals to safely guide them through security areas. They also need the dogs to remain calm on duty on the airplane, even when the flying is not smooth. This takes special training. The Air Hollywood K9 Flight School is one place where such help can be found.The school has a piece of equipment that provides the sights, sounds and even the feel of an airplane in flight. It is called a flight simulator（模拟器）. The simulator was built for filming airplane scenes in movies. Sandy Alexander lives in Newport Beach, California. He has a disability that requires his dog to be always at his side. 39 He said the dog did not like the bumpy（颠簸的）part of the flight simulation. Dog trainer Mary Segall works in a company that provides dogs for people with disabilities. She says successful training is based on a simple rule: preparation.
