rainmakers claimed to be able to bring rain by many methods dancing singing killing various kinds of living creatures including humans and blowing a stream of water into the air from a kind of pipe More recently some rainmakers claimed to make rain by shooting guns causing explosions or burning chemical the smoke of which was supposed to cause rain to fall These rainmakers asked for as much as 1 000 dollars to make an inch of rain One was so effective that he was almost hanged He was believed to have caused a twenty inch rain in 第 3 页 共 7 页 southern California that flooded that land killed several people and did millions of dollars worth of damage Before 1946 rainmakers were either liars or honest people who have good luck Scientific rain making was started in that year by Vincent J

m phoning to wish a happy Christmas she said I love you Ronals and Edwine Hayden were so happy that they started a special telephone service called Alive and Well The service helps parents to get in touch with children who have run away from home Young people can phone Alive and Well and leave a message for their parents The call is answered by answering machines So no one can speak to the child or make him return home Parents of runaway children who are under eighteen can ask the police to bring their children home So children do not want to tell their parents where they are Through Alive and Well they can telephone their parents without worrying about this or giving out their addresses The Haydens and their helpers write down the tape recorded telephone messages and connect the addresses given Many of the 30 000 British teenagers who have left home are probably in London For only two pence they can go into a telephone coin box and call their parents They can dial 5675339 and

start of the single European currency For 40 years Western European countries have been slowly changing their political and economic structure Their aim has been to replace the confusing and wasteful system of national currencies with a single united economy Now this process is entering its last period In one year s time on 1 January 1999 member countries of the European Union EU will link their economies together Three years later in 2002 their national currencies will be replaced by a single EU wild currency the Euro The single currency has taken a long time to arrive It was first considered over ten years ago when the EU set up the single market This aimed to improve EU competitiveness in world markets by allowing for the free movement of people and goods throughout the Union

various cultures The increasingly popular design museums that are opening today however perform quite a different role Unlike most art museums the design museum shows objects that are easily found by the general public These museums sometimes even place things like fridges and washing machines in the center of the hall People have argued that design museums are often made use of as advertisements for new industrial technology But their role is not simply a matter of sales it is the honoring of excellently invented products The difference between the window of a department store and the showcase in a design museum is that the first tries to sell you something while the second tells you the success of a sale One advantage of design museums is that they are places where people feel familiar with the exhibits Unlike the 第 5 页 共 7 页 average art museum visitors design museum visitors seldom feel frightened or puzzled This is partly because design museums clearly show how and why mass produced products work and look as they do and how design has improved the quality of our lives Art museum exhibits on the other hand would most probably fill visitors with a feeling that there is something beyond their understanding In recent years several new design museums have opened their doors Each of these museums has tried to satisfy the public s growing interest in the field with new ideas London s Design Museum for example shows a collection of mass produced objects from Zippos to electric typewriters to a group of Italian fish tins The choices open to design museums seem far less strict than those to art museums and visitors may also sense the humorous part of our society while walking around such exhibits as interesting and unusually attractive toys collected in our everyday life 68 Showcases in design museums are different from store windows because they A show more technologically advanced products B help increase the sales of products C show why the products have sold well D attract more people than store windows do 69 The author believes that most design museum visitors A do not admire mass produced products B are puzzled with technological exhibits C dislike exhibits in art museums D know the exhibits very well 70 The choices open to design museums A are not as strict as those to art museums B are not aimed to interest the public C may fail to bring some pleasure to visitors D often contain precious exhibits 71 The best title for this passage is A The forms of design museums B The exhibits of design museums C The nature of design museums D The choices open to design museums E The Man of Many Secrets Harry Houdini was one of the greatest American entertainers in the theater this century He was a man famous for his escapes from prison cells from wooden boxes floating in rivers from locked tanks full of water He appeared in theaters all over Europe and America Crowds came to see the great Houdini and his magic tricks Of course his
