Was it invented by a barber? No! The Flowbee was made by an American man who built things with wood.In 1987, Rick Hunt was working in his wood shop. A lot of wood was cut in the shop so little pieces of wood were everywhere. Pieces of wood were on the ground, on Hunts shirt, and in his hair. The shop had a big vacuum（真空吸尘器）for cleaning. Hunt used it to clean himself. The pieces of wood were easily sucked（吸）from his clothes and his hair. As Hunts hair was cleaned by the vacuum, he got an idea. “This would be a good way to cut hair,” He thought.Some special parts were added to a common vacuum. In this way, the first Flowbees were built. These first Flowbees were sold out of Hunts home. Then, a fall festival was held near Hunts home. He took all of Flowbees there, and a lot of people bought them! Next, Hunt went on television with the Flowbee. More and More Flowbees were sold.More than a million Flowbees were sold in America the next ten years. Today, this interesting machine is sold to people around the world.

Worse, have you ever given a present and watched your friend look as though she had opened the wrong box? Maybe she responded (回应) with a polite “Why, thank you,” but you knew you had missed the markWhy do presents sometimes do wrong? And what do your choices (good and bad) tell about your personal qualities（品质）?Choosing the right gift is an art, I believeIt calls for empathythe ability to put yourself into someone elses head and heartWere all able to do this; in fact, were born with a kind of natural empathyAfter the earliest period of childhood, however, it needs to be reinforced (加强) by our parents, teachers, friendsWhen it isnt, were not able to understand other peoples feelings as sharplyThis can show in the gifts we select, and so can many other emotional qualities.Think back to the presents youve given over the past year, the time and effort you put into your selection, how much you spent your thoughts while you were shopping, and your feelings when the receiver opened the packageKeep in mind that what you choose shows your inner worldOf course, you may express yourself differently with different friends, relatives, and other people you know.We live in a society where exchanging presents is an important part of communicationPaying no attention to the tradition wont make it go awayIf you really dislike such a tradition, tell your friends ahead of time.53The underlined expression “you had missed the mark” means “you had failed to_ ”.A. make her feel better B. keep your friendshipC. receive a present in return D. get the expected effect54In the third paragraph, the writer tells us that .A. attention should be paid to the receivers responsesB. one learns from what he did in the pastC. the choice of gifts shows ones emotional qualitiesD. one should spend more time choosing gifts55The best possible title for this passage is “ ”. A. Ways of Choosing Gifts B. An Important TraditionC. Exchanging Presents D. Message in a GiftD Humans have always dreamed of finding a way to leave traffic jams (交通堵塞) behind. Well, dream no longer. The flying car and pod car(豆荚车) can help cut down on traffic jams. The worlds “first flying car”, called the Terrafugia Transition, has made its first flight in the skies of the US. It can fly 640 km through the air without adding more gas, the car maker, Terrafugia Inc, says.As a light airplane, it is not easy for the Terrafugia Transition to fly in poor weather. However, it has the advantage of being able to continue the journey by road if conditions take a turn for the worse.This is the first proven flying car with foldable wings. These allow it to perfectly transfer from air to road.However, there are a few problems. The car/plane, which is expected to go on sale as early as 2011, will cost about $194,000 (1.33 million yuan). Drivers will also need a drivers and pilots license. For those afraid of heights, or who dont want to fly, the pod car is a great way to travel. Imagine using a button to stop the small pod-shape car. The doors open, you climb into the passenger seat, and enter your personal number. Minutes later, the doors slide open and you have reached the place where youre going.Cities around the world are looking into pod-car systems, as pod cars do not need human drivers. They are designed for one person or small groups traveling together. Passengers simply type their place into the pod cars computer and the pod car takes them directly there.Because pod cars do not make unnecessary stops and use electricity, they save a lot of energy and do not pollute the air. Pod cars also provide passengers with faster service and more privacy than a subway or bus.While flying cars and pod cars may be a dream available to a few, many humans are still dreaming bigger dreams, such as teleportation(瞬间位移术). It is most widely found in works of science fiction.Teleportation is a method of transportation, in which, objects or information are dematerialized (使消失), and then recreated in another place. Maybe one day, teleportation could become a reality and people could avoid traffic jams forever!56. Which of the following statements（陈述） about the flying car is true ?A. It can fly in the air but can not run on the road.B. Its the first proven flying car with foldable wings.C. It will be sold at a very high price in the year of 2011.D. Its very light and it can fly in bad weather conditions.57. What do the flying car and the pod car have in common?A. Neither of them has been realized yet.B. Theyre as fast as a subway or a bus.C. Both of them are environmentally friendly.D. Theyre supposed to help avoid traffic jams.58. Whats the writers attitude to the idea of teleportation? A. He thinks it is a very big joke.B. He thinks it will happen soon.C. He thinks it could be a possibility.D. He thinks it can end the traffic jams.59.What is the passage mainly about?A. How to solve the traffic problems.B. How to drive different kinds of cars.C. What technology is bringing to traffic.D. What our traffic will be like in the future.七、阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。（共8分，每小题2分）It was December 25. Marie, a 13-year-old Australian girl was happy.

They have studied the information on the mental (心理的) health of two million people from 80 countries. In England, the probability of low spirits for men and women reaches the highest point at around 44 years of age. In America, though, there is a big difference between men and women. Among women, unhappiness reaches the highest point at around the age of 40, but among men, it is about 50. But the U-shape of happiness is unchanging around the world, and the mid-life sadness happens regardless of marital status (婚姻状况), changes in job or pay. It happens to men and women, to single and married people, to rich and poor, and to those with and without children. One possibility may be that people realize many of their dreams wont come true at middle age. The researchers said another reason could be that seeing their middle-aged friends die one by one, people begin to value their own remaining years and their love of the nature and long for peaceful and free life once more. But the good news is that if people make it to aged 70 and are still physically fit, they are on average (平均) as happy as a 20-year-old person. For the average people in the modern world, the fall in mental health and happiness doesnt come on suddenly in
