A wireless transmitter passes the information to a receiver connected to a television, and this decides how much evening viewing time the wearer deserves, based on the days efforts.The design was inspired by a desire to combat the rapidly ballooning waistlines among British teenagers, said Gillian Swan, who developed Square Eyes as a final year design project at Brunel University in London. “ We looked at current issues and childhood oberity(过度肥胖) really stood out,” she told New Scientist. “And I wanted to tackle(解决) that with my design.Once a child has used up their daily allowance gained through exercise, the television automatically（自动地）switches off. And further time in front of the TV can only be earned through more steps.Swan calculated how exercise should translate to television time using the recommended daily amounts of both. Health experts suggest that a child take 12,000 steps each day and watch no more than two hours of television. So, every 100 steps recorded by the Square Eyes shoes equals precisely one minute of TV time.56. The best title for the passage might be_.A. New Shoes and watching TV in the UK.B.

Their findings have often been unclear or incomplete. But three characteristics stand out in their reports: patience, a sense of humor, and the awareness of being unclear. Patience, of course, is the ability to keep calm even when things do not go as one wants them to, or hopes they will, or has even been sure they will. Impatience sometimes brings improvements in relations with other people, but usually it does not. A person with a sense of humor is less likely to take things too seriously and more ready to see the humor in his own reactions than a humorless person. The value of a sense of humor really needs to be paid more attention to. “The awareness of being unclear” is a more difficult concept than patience or a sense of humor. Foreigners often find themselves in situations that are unclear to the newcomers. That is, they do not know what is happening in the situation. Perhaps they do not understand the local language well enough, or they do not know how some system or organization works, or they cant be sure of different peoples roles in what is going on. “Its like I just got here from the moon,” a Chinese graduate student who newly arrived in the United States said, “things are just so different here.”67. The passage mainly tells us_.A. some problems about communication.B. humor- an important thing in communication.C. some characteristics in communicating with foreigners.D. three useful ways of communicating with foreigners.68. From the third paragraph, we can infer that a humorous person_.A. tends to treat everything carelessly B. is optimistic about things.C. likes making fun of others. D. is an impatient one69. The underlined part “The awareness of being unclear” refers to “_”.A. knowing the meaning of an exact situation.B. not stating clearly what happens.C. realizing the possible misunderstandingD. being aware of the unclear situations.70.What can we know from the passage?A. It is necessary to learn a language before you go abroad.B Americans are used to the culture of other countries.C. Patience usually improves the relationship with others.D. To live in a foreign land, one should get fully prepared.五：任务型阅读10%请认真阅读下面的一篇短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。（每个空格填一个单词） An allowance(零花钱) is an important tool for teaching kids how to budget, save and make their own decision. Children remember and learn from mistakes when their own dollars are lost or spent foolishly. How large an allowance is appropriate? Experts say there is not a right amount. Actually amounts differ from region to region, and from family to family. To set an appropriate allowance for your child, work up a weekly budget. Allow for entertainment expenditures such as movies and snacks. Next, include everyday expenses such as lunch money, bus fare, school supplies. “If you make the child responsible for these bills.” Says Josephine Swanson, a consumer specialist, “he or she will learn to budget for necessary expenditures.” Finally, add some extra money to make saving possible. If you can, keep your childs allowance in line with
