AFix it on your ownDid you know that a bowl of rice could save your iPod if you drop it in a swimming pool by accident? Or that the camera on your phone could tell you whats wrong with your TV remote control? The experts at Geek Squad (geelsquad.co.uk) have made a gadget (小机件) rescue guide. So, lets take a look at some of their useful advice. How to get more juice out of your phone batterIf your battery goes dead but you need to get a number or send one last text, try warming it up. That may give you a tiny bit of power. Take the battery from the phone and rub it between your hands. Or warm it under your arm for a few minutes. Then try to start the phone but use it quickly. What to do if your gadget gets wetFirst, try drying it out with a vacuum cleaner (真空吸尘器). If a vacuum cleaner isnt at hand, fill a pot or bowl with uncooked rice and put your wet gadget inside. The dry, uncooked rice will absorb all the water and, after a few hours, you should be able to use the gadget. Dont forget to remove the battery and SIM card before you dry it. What to do if your TV remote control stops workingIf replacing the batteries doesnt work, get the camera function up on your phone and point the remote at the lens (镜头). When you press a button on the remote, if it is working, the glass bobble (小球) at the front of the remote will light up when you look at it on the screen of your phone. This is because the screen on a phone or digital camera picks up infrared rays (红外线), even though your eyes dont. If the glass bobble doesnt light up, the remote is broken. If it does, the receiving device (装置) is broken.56. If your cell phone falls into a sink, you can _.A. warm it up under your armB. remove the battery after you dry itC. put it into the uncooked riceD. press it with both of your hands57. Why can a phone be used to prove the TV remote control works well? Because it can _.A. improve the TV remote controlB. receive infrared rayC. picture the TV remote controlD. reflect infrared ray58.

The purpose of this passage is to give people _.A. personal opinionsB. professional guidesC. necessary warningsD. practical tipsBThe day when the jobs were handed out was one of the most exciting moments for all the children in the class. It took place during the first week of the term. Every kid was given a job for which they would be responsible for the rest of that school year.Some jobs were more interesting than others, and the children were eager to be given one of the best ones. When giving them out, the teacher took into account which pupils had been most responsible during the previous year. During the previous year Rita had carried out the teachers instructions perfectly. All the children knew Rita would be given the best job.But there was a big surprise. Each child received a normal job. But Ritas job was very different. She was given a little box containing some sand and one ant. Though the teacher insisted that this ant was very special, Rita felt disappointed. Most of her classmates felt sorry for her. Even her father became very angry with the teacher and he encouraged Rita to pay no attention to this insignificant pet. However, Rita preferred to show the teacher her error by doing something special with that job of little interest.Rita started investigating all about her little ant and gave the ant the best food, and it grew quite a bit bigger.One day, a man, who looked very important, came into their classroom and declared, “Your class has been chosen to accompany me, this summer, on a journey to the tropical rain forest, where we will investigate all kinds of insects. Among all the schools of this region, your class has best cared for the little ant.”That day the school was filled with joy and celebration. Everyone thanked Rita for having been so patient and responsible. And many children learnt that to be given the most important task you have to know how to be responsible even in what are the smallest tasks.60.

Small tasks can lead to fortunes.C. Men are best known by their friends.D. Responsibility and intelligence bring good luck.C Birthdays often involve surprises. But this years surprise on the birthday of the great British playwright William Shakespeare is surely one of the most dramatic.On April 22, one day before his 441st birthday anniversary, experts discovered that one of the most recognizable portraits of William Shakespeare is a fake. This means that we no longer have a good idea of what Shakespeare looked like. “Its very possible that many pictures of Shakespeare might be unreliable because many of them are copies of this one,” said an expert from Britains National Portrait Gallery.The discovery comes after four months of testing using X-rays, ultraviolet light, microphotography and paint samples. The experts from the gallery say the image commonly known as the “Flower portrait” was actually painted in the 1800s, about two centuries after Shakespeares death. The art experts who work at the gallery say they also used modern chemistry technology to check the paint on the picture. These checks found traces of paint dating from about 1814. Shakespeare died in 1616, and the date that appears on the portrait is 1609.“We now think the portrait dates back to around 1818 to 1840. This was when there was a renewed interest in Shakespeares plays,” Tarnya Cooper, the gallerys curator (馆长), told the Associated President.The fake picture has often been used as a cover for collections of his plays. It is called the Flower portrait because one of its owners, Desmond Flower, gave it to the Royal Shakespeare Company. “There have always been questions about the painting,” said David Howells, curator for the Royal Shakespeare Company. “Now we know the truth, we can put the image in its proper place in the history of Shakespearean portraiture.”Two other images of Shakespeare, are also being studied as part of the investigation and the results will come out later this month._.65. What makes the birthday of Shakespeare dramatic this year?A. It was found that he painted a portrait in 1814 instead of in 1609.B. The Flower portrait has been found to be a fake.C. Three portraits of Shakespeare are being tested to identify a real one.D. It was found that there was a renewed interest in Shakespeares plays around 1818 to 1840.66. Which statement is True according to the passage?A. Portraits of Shakespeare are all unreliable.B. “Flower portrait” was a portrait of Shakespeare given to Desmond Flower.C. 1814 might be when the portrait was drawn.D. The Flower portrait is not often used as a cover for Shakespeares play.67. How many methods were used to test the portrait?A. Not mentioned.B. TwoC. ThreeD. At least four.68. The best title for this passage is _.A. Birthdays often involve surprises B. The surprise on the 441st birthday of ShakespeareC. One portrait of Shakespeare is a fakeD. How can we know Shakespeares appearance?69. Which is the best sentence to fill in the blank in the last paragraph?A. Soon well know which portrait is reliable.B. Maybe we cannot find a real portrait of Shakespeare.C. If the two portraits are found to be false, they will test more.D. For now what Shakespeare really looked like will remain a mystery.D “OK,”I said to my daughter as she bent over her afternoon bowl of rice. “Whats going on with you and your friend J.?” J. is the leader of a group of third-graders at her camp- a position Lucy herself occupied the previous summer. Now shes the one on the outs. and every day at snack time, she tells me all about it, while I offer the unhelpful advice all summer long. “Shes fond of giving orders, ”Lucy complained. “Shes turning everyone against me.
