In keeping with its eco-development, the machine uses the same amount of electricity as three lights.Inventor Jonathan Ritchey said: “The demand for water is off the chart. So people are looking for freedom from water distribution systems that are shaky and unreliable.”The machine, which is about 3 feet wide, is likely to cost 800 when it goes on sale here in the spring. Its maker, Canadian Firm Element Four, roughly calculates that a litre of water costs around 20p to produce.Environmentalists state that half the worlds population will face water shortage because of climate change by 2080. One in five is said to lack access to safe drinking.The Water Mill is not effective in areas where the amount of water contained in the air is below about 30 percent, but in Britain that wont be much of a problem.51. What does the underlined word “it” refer to?A. Water Mill.B. Invention.C. Microwave.D. Drinking water.52. It can be inferred that the machine produces more water _. A. when it is sunny B. when it is cloudy or rainy C. when it is windy D. when it is dry53. Whats the best title for the passage?A. A New Way to Solve Water Problem. B. A Machine to Make Water out of Air.C. A Dehumidifier to Produce Water.D. An Absolutely New Invention.B When I lived in Spain，some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car，before they left，they asked me about how to find accommodation（住所）I suggested that they should stay at “bed and breakfast” houses，because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the familyMy friends listened to my advice，but they came back with some funny stories “We didnt stay at bed and breakfast houses，”they said“Because we found that most families were away on holiday” I thought this was strangeFinally I understood what had happenedMy friends spoke little English，and they thought “VACANCIES” meant “holidays” because Spanish word for “holiday” is “vacaciones”So they did not go to houses where the sign outside said “VACANCIES”，which in English meant there are free roomsThen my friends went to houses where the sign said “NO VACANCIES”，because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holidayBut they found that these houses were all fullAs a result，they stayed at hotels！ We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signsIn Spanish，a word very similar to “DIVERSION” means funIn English it means that workman is repairing the road，and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word “DIVERSION” on a road sign, they thought they were going to have funInstead, the road ended in a large hole English people have problems too when they learn foreign languagesOnce in Paris, when someone offered me some more coffee，I said “Thank you” in FrenchI meant that I would like some moreHowever，to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away！ Later I found out that “Thank you” in French means “No，thank you” 54. The author suggested that his friends stay at bed and breakfast houses because _.A. they would be able to practise their English B. it would be much cheaper than staying in hotels C. it would be convenient for them to have dinner D. there would be no problem about finding accommodation 55. “No vacancies” in English means _. A. no free rooms B. free rooms C. not away on holiday D. holidays 56. If you see a road sign that says “Diversion”，you will _. A. fall into a hole B. have a lot of fun and enjoy yourself C. find that the road is blocked by people D. have to take a different road 57. The author was surprised when the coffee pot was taken away because _. A. he hadnt finished drinking his coffee B. he was expecting another cup of coffee C. he didnt want any more D. he was never misunderstood CHey there,So youre about to spend four years of your life and tens of thousands of dollars of your parents money, and all you really know about college is that all of your friends are going. Do you ever stop to wonder why youre going?Relax. Youre making the right decision. First of all, youll discover what interests you by taking courses in many subjects. For example, its hard to decide if you want to be a painter if youve never painted any pictures; once youre in a drawing-room on campus, youll know one way or the other. College is also a lot of funafter you graduate, youll be working every weekday for 50 or so years. And remember that college graduates get about twice the income of those who never attended college.Finding the right college can be difficult. Fortunately, Johnson Review is here to help you every step of the way.Researching School. To us, the most important decision youll make is to choose the school that really fits you best- not the one that is the most competitive or has the best-equipped rooms.Applying to School. On JohnsonR, youll find hundreds of actual college applications(申请) and links to many more.Raising Your Scores. American College Test is one of the most important parts of the admissions(录取) course. Its not the most important, though, and not everyone needs to prepare for the best. But, if you think you can do better, find the right course for better scores.Paying for School. Most families need financial aid for the high cost of college. The problem is that financial aid seems difficult to get and many families get caught up in the price of college. However, if you really do your research, youll learn that there are many ways to get financial aid and that you can afford to attend any college, no matter the cost.For more information, call 600-3681 or visit Johnson R, wherever you go, have a nice trip!Johnson Smith Founder and CEOJohn ReviewDWhen something goes wrong，it can be very satisfying to say，“Well, its so-and-sos fault”or “I know Im late，but its not my fault；the car broke down”It is probably not your fault，but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situationHowever, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situationThis is the winners key to successWinners are great at overcoming problemsFor example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more frequentlyOr, you might bring along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in needFor another example, if your colleague (同事) causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the personAsk to work with a different person, or dont rely on this personYou should accept that the person is not reliable (可靠的) and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job wellThis is what being a winner is all aboutcreatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happensWinners dont have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody elseThey are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talentsSo, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping on for success62.
