on the earths natural conditions. some believe the air inside many houses may be more dangerous than the air outside.most scientists agree that every modern house has some kind of indoor pollution. people began to notice the problem in the early 1970s. when builders began making houses and offices, they did not want to waste energy. to do this they built buildings that limited the flow of air between inside and outside. they also used manmade building materials which are now known to let out harmful gases.as the problem became more serious, scientists began searching for a way to deal with it. they discovered a natural pollution control system for building green plants.scientists believe that a plants leaves absorb the pollutants (污染物). in exchange the plant lets out oxygen through its leaves. studies of different plants show that each absorbs different chemicals. so the most effective way to clean the air is to use different kinds of plants.56. indoor air pollution may be more dangerous than the air outside mainly because .a. people dont want to waste energyb.the building are too highc. the flow of air indoor is limited d. the building materials are harmful57. in the last paragraph the word“ absorb” may mean . a. give outb. bring upc. turn intod. take in 58. scientists believe that plants can .a. absorb pollutions and let out oxygen b. make your houses more prettierc. absorb all the pollutantsd. change pollutants into oxygen59. according to the last paragraph, we should to clean the air. a. plant all kinds of plantb. plant more trees.c. have the same kind of plantd. have different kinds of plants bits not about how much money you make, and its not about who your daddy is. and no, its definitely not about whether you look like tom cruise or his wife katie holmes . what it is about is these simple things, things that maybe even a person like tom cruise does not have.were talking about being attractive in general, whether its on a job interview or just gaining the respect of your colleagues.ask lots of questionsin other words, be humble. if you come across as a know-it-all (even if you really do know it all!)， it really pushes people away. rather, asking lots and lots of questions (even dumb ones) makes people feel like you care, you can be trusted, and you are. humble.stay busydo you really know the power of this? were told to stay busy to prevent depression and feelings of anxiety. but did you know you should also stay busy to be really attractive? its true. always have something to do. have you ever seen someone just sitting around, doing nothing? how unattractive. always be busy with something, even if for some reason you have to make something up.show your pearly whites (or just smile)smile more, no matter how ugly your teeth are. im not kidding about this one. its not all about the teeth. if you are smiling genuinely, you can draw everyone for 100 meters around to you.be interested in other menbe interested in the other person. again, ask them questions. dont talk about yourself. remove attention from yourself. if you are truly interested in the person, it will come across. and if you want to talk about yourself, youll find that putting the other person first actually opens him up to return the favor and ask you questions. see how fun this is?so, yes it is possible to be the most attractive person in the world. if youve noticed the ring throughout the article, it has a lot to do with just being confident in who you are. nobody needs to look like tom cruise or will smith or their wives, or anyone else for that matter. every person, of every race, of every nationality, of every background, can be the most attractive person in the world.60. in the writers opinion, attractiveness is determined by a persons _.a. good looks b. dad c. confidence d. wealth61. the underlined sentence means that _.a. if you are a know-it-all, you are surely welcomeb. people admire a person who know it allc. a person should pretend to be a know-it-all when communicating with othersd. being a know-it-all may keep people away from you 62. in order to be attractive, you should do followings except _.a. ask questionsb. behave like tom cruise c. smile d. keep busy63. the main idea of the article is to tell us _.a. how to make friends b. how to be attractive c. how to reduce depression d. how to build your confidencecask a teacher to name the most annoying invention of recent years and they will often mention the mobile phonedisturbed by the problems they create, many head teachers have ordered that pupils should keep their phones switched off at schoolothers have told pupils to leave them at homehowever, education researchers at the university of nottingham believe it is time that phone bans were reassessed, because mobile phones can be a powerful learning aid, they saydr elizabeth hartnell-young and her colleagues have reached this conclusion after studying the consequences of allowing pupils in five secondary schools to use either their own mobile phones or the new generation of smartphones in lessonsduring the nine-month experiment, 14- to 16-year-old pupils used the phones for a wide range of educational purposes, including creating short movies, setting homework reminders, recording a teacher reading a poem, and timing experiments with the phones stopwatchesthe smartphones, which could be connected to the internet, also allowed pupils to access revision websites, log into the school email system, or transfer （转存） electronic files between school and homethe research involved 331 pupils in schools in cambridgeshire, west berkshire and nottingham“at the start of the study, even pupils were often surprised at the thought that mobile phones could be used for learning,” dr hartnell-young said“after their hands-on experience, almost all pupils said they had enjoyed the project and felt more inspired”some teachers found that pupils who lacked confidence gained most from the projecthowever, they recognized that greater use of mobile phones in schools could cause problems64we can infer from the first paragraph that ateachers are strongly against students owning mobile phonesbmobile phones should be developed to meet students needs cmobile phones are usually forbidden to be used at school dstudents are free to use their mobile phones at school65when the students first used mobile phones for learning, they adidnt fully realize the learning functions of mobile phones bdidnt know what they were used forcall enjoyed the project very much dwere surprised that they were allowed to use mobile phones in schools 66who benefited most from the project?aolder pupilsbpupils who were confidentcyounger pupilsdpupils who were not confident67the purpose of the text is to tell us that amobile phones can actually help students learnbmobile phones begin to be widely used in schoolsctoo much use of mobile phones in schools can cause problemsdthe mobile phone is considered the most annoying invention of recent years drobert frost was one of americas best known and most honored serious writers. but his fame came late in his life. he was born in san francisco, california in 1874. he lived in california during his early childhood. he was named after the chief southern general in americas civil war. the generals name was robert edward lee. the poet was named robert lee frost, because his father wanted to honor the general. someone once asked another american writer, ernest hemingway, how to become a writer. the best thing, he said, was to have an unhappy childhood. if this is true, robert frosts childhood was unhappy enough to make him a very good writer. robert frosts father was a reporter who wanted to be a politician. he often drank too much wine and became angry. robert was the victim of his anger. robert frost finished high school in 1891. after high school, roberts grandfather offered to pay his costs at dartmouth college. but robert left the school after a few months. he did not like it. he spent the next few years working at different jobs. at one time, he worked in a factory. later, he repaired shoes. he was a teacher. he was a reporter. always, he wrote poetry. robert frost attended harvard university for two years. after that, he returned to the many jobs he held before. for a while, frost tried to take care of a farm in the state of new hampshire. he was not a successful farmer. and he continued to write poetry. he said that until 1930, he earned only about ten dollars a year from writing. in 1912, he decided to try to make a new start. he took his family to britain. the cost of living was low. in britain, frost found a publisher for his first book of poems. the book was called a boys will. when it appeared in 1913, frost received high praise from british readers. praise was something he had not received in h
