No problem, install some wireless cameras and controllers and from any computer in the world with an Internet connection, you can watch your house.”“You can check on the house, and I can look at the temperature.Believe it or not, if I want to turn on lights ahead of time, I can, ”added Lee.We sat in Steves California kitchen and with the right password,_turned on the kitchen counter lights at his boss house in Wisconsin.Steve did have permission to log on(登录)“If you do know the password and you want to play a trick on your wife, you could turn lights on and off remotely.”This new technology, which can automatically turn on water sprinklers when humidity is low, or turn off a pool pump when it is not in use, is no longer expensive.Several hundred dollars for a basic system is enough and it is not hard to install.Sure the convenience is nice but many people who like the security advantages like making sure kids are safe with the help of camera monitors and bedside alerts.“I can notice that maybe one of my children wakes up in the middle of the night once the light switch is turned on.”What a smart home cant do is get you a snack and you have to leave the couch for that.1What does the underlined word “password” in Paragraph 5 mean?

DBiography.BSince the first Earth Day in 1970，Americans have gotten a lot “greener” toward the environment.“We didnt know at that time that there even was an environment，let alone that there was a problem with it，” says Bruce Anderson，president of Earth Day USA.But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement.Business people，political leaders，university professors，and especially millions of grassroots Americans are taking part in the movement.“The understanding has increased many，many times，”says Gaylord Nelson，the former governor from Wisconsin，who thought up the first Earth Day.According to US government reports，emissions(排放)from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 million tons.The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9.Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with，the world is a safer and healthier place.A kind of “green thinking ” has become part of practices.Great improvement has been achieved.In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs；today in 1995 there are about 6，600.Advanced lights，motors，and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution.Twentyfive years ago，there were hardly any education programs for environment.Today，its hard to find a public school，university，or law school that does not have such a kind of program.“Until we do that，nothing else will change！” says Bruce Anderson.5According to Anderson，before 1970，Americans had little idea about_Athe social movementBrecycling techniquesCenvironmental problemsDthe importance of Earth Day6Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from?AThe grassroots level.

DCO reduction.COne of the latest trends(趋势) in American childcare is Chinese au pairs.Au Pair in Stamford，Conn，for example，has got increasing numbers of requests for Chinese au pairs from zero to around 4，000 since 2004.And thats true all across the country.“I thought it would be very useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age，” Joseph Stocke，the managing director of a company，says of his 2yearold son.“I would at least like to give him the chance to use the language in the future.” After only six months of being cared for by a 25yearold woman from China，the boy can already understand basic Chinese daily expressions，his dad says.Li Drake，a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an American husband，had another reason for looking for an au pair from China：She didnt want her children to miss out on their roots.“Because I am Chinese，my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to(接触)the language and culture.” she says.“Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a classroom，” says Suzanne Flynn，a professor in language education of Children.“But parents must understand that just one year with an au pair is unlikely to produce wonders.Complete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10 or 12.”The popularity of au pairs from China has been strengthened by the increasing numbers of American parents who want their children to learn Chinese.It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise in the next few years.9What does that term “au pair” in the text mean?AA mother raising her children on her own.BA child learning a foreign language at home.CA professor in language education of children.DA young foreign woman taking care of children.10Li Drake has her children study Chinese because she wants them_Ato live in China some dayBto speak the language at homeCto catch up with other childrenDto learn about the Chinese culture11What can we infer from the text?ALearning Chinese is becoming popular in America.BEducated women do better in looking after children.CChinese au pairs need to improve their English skills.DChildren can learn a foreign language well in six months.DNEW YORKAustralian mining enterprise Clive Palmer on Tuesday unveiled(公布)blueprints for Titanic， a modern copy of the doomed ocean liner, although he didnt call the ship unsinkable any more.The ship will largely recreate the design and decoration of the fabled original, with some modifications to keep it in line with current safety rules and shipbuilding practices, and the addition of some modern comforts such as air conditioning, Palmer said at a press conference in New York.The three passenger classes, however, will be prevented from mingling(混杂), as in 1912, Palmer said.“Im not too superstitious(迷信的)”Palmer said when asked whether recreating a ship bestknown for sinking was tempting fate.White Star Line, the operator of the original ship, had said the Titanic was designed to be unsinkable.About 1, 500 people died on Titanics maiden voyage in 1912 from Southampton to New York after the ship collided with an iceberg in the North Atlantic.Palmer, who created the company Blue Star Line last year, refused to make a similar boast.“Anything will sink if you put a hole in it, ” Palmer said.“I think it would be very cavalier to say it.”Unlike the original, Titanicwill have more than enough space in its lifeboats for every person on board and will have additional escape staircases.Markku Kanerva, sales director at Deltamarin, the Finnish company designing the ship, said it would be the “safest cruise ship in the world”Palmer refused to answer questions about the projects cost.Although the Titanic was the worlds largest ship in her time, she would be smaller than many of todays modern cruise ships.“Its not about the money，” Palmer said.“Ive got enough money for it.I think thats all that matters.”Forbes estimated Palmers net worth to be $795 million in 2012.He describes himself as a billionaire.Titanicwill be built by Chinese stateowned CSC Jinling Shipyard, which has already built four ore carriers for Palmers mining business, he said.The contract to build Titanichas not yet been signed, Palmer said.12What can be inferred about Titanicfrom the passage?
