Over the years, we all learned to become more cobl other., Iee .When the children moved to a town five hours away, my husband was understandably destroyed. In order to keep in touch with the kids, we set up an e-mail and chat-line service.Ironically（具有讽刺意义的是）, this technology can make us feel out of touch and more in need of real human contact. If a computer message came addressed to Dad, Id feel forgotten. If my name appeared along with his, it would brighten my day. Yet always there was some distance to be crossed, not just over the telephone wires.Late one evening, as my husband was snoozing（打盹）, I was catching up on my e-mail, an instant message appeared on the screen. It was Margo, my oldest stepdaughter, also up late in front of her computer. We sent several messages back and forth, exchanging the latest news. When chatted like that, she wouldnt necessarily know if it was me or her dad unless she asked. That night she didnt ask and I didnt tell her it was me either. After hearing the latest volleyball scores and the details about a coming dance at her school, I said that it was late and I should go to sleep. Her return message read, Okay, talk to you later! Love you!At this, a wave of sadness ran through me and I realized that she must have thought she was writing to her father the whole time. She and I would never have openly exchanged such words of love. Feeling guilty（内疚的）for not telling her the truth, yet not wanting to embarrass（使人尴尬）her, I simply replied, Love you, too! Have a good sleep!I thought again of their family circle and I felt again the sharp ache of emptiness and otherness. Then, just as my fingers reached for the keys to return the screen to black, Margos final message appeared. It read, Tell Dad good night for me, too. With tear-filled eyes, I turned the machine off.1. By saying “Yet always there was some distance to be crossed”, the writer infers that _. A. their children lived in a town five hours away. B. their children had to talk to them on the phone. C. there was a generation gap between them. D. the relationship between them was not so close.2. The author thought that Margo must have mistaken her for her father because _. A. her father liked to chat about her activities. B. her father always stopped chatting like that. C. Margo never said goodbye to the author in this way. D. Margo never chatted with the author alone.3. From this passage, we can learn that a step-parent can _. A. never know the special relationship between a parent and a child.B. exchange e-mails and messages with step-children. C. be part of the “inner circle” of the family. D. never be liked by his or her step-children. ( B)Every animal is a living radiator(散热器)heat formed in its cells is given off through its skin. Warm-blooded animals maintain a steady temperature by constantly replacing lost surface heat; smaller animals, which have more skin for every ounce of body weight, must produce heat faster than bigger ones. Because smaller animals burn fuel faster, scientists say that they live faster.The speed at which an animal lives is determined by measuring the rate at which it uses oxygen. A chicken, for example, uses one-half cubic centimeter of oxygen every hour for each gram it weighs. The tiny shrew uses four cubic centimeters of oxygen every hour for each gram it weighs. Because it uses oxygen eight times as fast, it is said that the mouselike shrew is living eight times as fast as the chicken. The smallest of the warm-blooded creatures, the hummingbird, lives a hundred times as fast as an elephant.There is a limit to how small a warm-blooded animal can be. A mammal or bird that weighted only two and a half grams would starve to death. It would burn up its food too rapidly and would not be able to eat fast enough to supply more fuel.4Warm-blooded animals maintain a steady temperature by _.Aregulating the amount of heat produced Bstoring heat in their body cellsCcontrolling the amount of heat given off Dconstantly replacing lost surface heat5The speed at which an animal lives is determined by measuring _.Athe amount of food it eats Bthe rate at which it uses oxygenCthe amount of oxygen it uses Dits body temperature6The amount of oxygen an animal uses depends on _.Aits body weight Bthe food it eats Cits general size and shape Dthe length of time it lives7Form the selection, we can infer that _.Athe hummingbird lives faster than any other warm-blooded creatureBthere is no limit as to how large a warm-blooded animal can be.Csmall animals have less skin for their body weight than large ones .Dthe hummingbird is the smallest animal in the world. (C)Several days ago, a Beijing - based IT company fired about 400 people overnight. No one had expected the job cuts, which broke with traditional ways of letting go of workers in China. Moreover, what was special about this case was that the day before the 400 were fired, they all received from their boss a gift - the book “Who Moved My Cheese?”.The book - a bestseller in the US - is being used by men and women to deal with changes in their lives and work. Some large organizations, including Coca- Cola, Kodak and General Motors, ask their employees to read it in order to encourage them to be active towards changes.Cheese is something related to everyones livelihood - our jobs, the industries we work in, relationships and love as well. With Chinas official entry into WTO, the whole nation will face up to more changes and challenges. So what should we do once this “cheese” on which we are so dependent is moved? “Whatever challenges and changes we meet, we should face up to them bravely” Jiang Hengwei, a civil servant said after reading the book.Professor Yang in Renmin University of China agrees. “We should change our way of thinking. The coming competitive foreign companies and products provide us with great chances to learn from them and improve our own products to meet international standards and be more competitive.” “With hard work and wisdom, we will create a much larger and better piece of cheese. ”Zhang smiled confidently. 8The whole passage is about_.A. a bestseller in the US B. what people think about Chinas entry into the WTOC. peoples attitude toward changes and challengesD. how a book influences the Chinese workers9The company gave each of the 400 fired workers a copy of “Who Moved My Cheese” in order to _.A. be more competitive with foreign firms B. find an excuse for their job cutsC. let the workers make a living on their own D. encourage the fired workers10The work “cheese”in the passage can refer to_.A. something we depend on for a living B. a most important kind of foodC. change or challenge D. way of life11From what Hengwei and Professor Zhang Yang said, we can know that_.A. they have different opinions on changes and challengesB. people are not afraid of competition from foreign companiesC. the Chinese people are ready to face any changes and challengesD. they are both greatly encouraged by the book (D)researchers are placing robotic dogs（机器狗）in the homes of lonely old people to determine whether they can improve the quality of life for humans. Alan Beck, an expert in human-animal relationship, and Nancy Edwards, a professor of nursing, are leading the animal-assisted study concerning the influence of robotic dogs on old peoples depression, physical activity, and life satisfaction. “no one will argue that an older person is better off being more active, challenged, or stimulated（刺激）,”Edwards points out. “the problem is how we promote（使成为现实）that, especially for those without fiends or help. a robotic dog could be a solution.”in the study, the robot, called AIBO, is placed for six weeks in the houses of some old people who live alone. before placing AIBO in the home, researchers will collect baseline data for six weeks. these old people will keep a diary to note their feelings and activity before and after AIBO. then, the researchers will review the data to determine if it has inspired any changes in the life of its owner.“I talk to him all the time, and he responds to my voice,” says a seventy-year-old lady, “when Im watching TV, hell stay in my arms until he wants down. he has a mind of his own.”the AIBOs respond to certain orders. the researchers say they have some advantages over live dogs, especially for old people. often the elderly are disabled and cannot care for an animal by walking it or playing with it. a robotic dog removes exercise and feeding concerns.“at the beginning, it was believed that no one would relate to the robotic dog, because it was metal and not furry.” beck says. “but its amazing how quickly we have given up that belief.”“hopefully, down the road, these robotic PETS could become a more-valuable health helper. they will record their masters blood pressure, oxygen levels. or heart rhythms. AIBOs may even one day have games that can help stimulate older peoples minds.”12.
