You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources, as well as one of the oldest. Evidence shows that windmills(风车) began to be used in ancient Iran back in the 7th century BC. They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power. For many centuries, people used windmills to grind(磨碎) wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground. When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote(偏远的) areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the 1940s when electricity was available(可利用的) to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were seldom used. During the 1970s, people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.21. From the text we know that windmills_. A. were invented by European armiesB. used to supply power to radio in remote areasC. have a history of more than 2,800 years D. have rarely been used since electricity was discovered22. What was a new use for wind power in the late 19th century?A. Producing electricity. B. Sailing a boat. C. Grinding wheat into flour. D. Pumping water from ground.23. One of the reasons wind was rediscovered in the 1970s is that_.A. the supply of coal and gas failed to meet needsB. it is one of the oldest power sourcesC. it was cheaper to create energy from windD. wind power is cleaner24. The passage is mainly about_.A. the global pollution from burning coal and gasB. the worldwide movement to save energyC. the history of using wind powerD. the advantages of windmillsB Grandparents Answer a CallAs a third generation native of Brownsville, Texas, Mildred Garza never planned to move away. Even when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help with their children, she politely refused. Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms. Garza finally say yes. That was four years ago. Today all three generations regard the move as a success, giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities.No statistics(数据) show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to adult children and grandchildren. Yet there are evidence showing that the trend(趋势) is growing. Even President Obamas mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, has agreed to leave Chicago and move into the White House to help care for her granddaughters. According to a study by grandparents. com, 83% of the people say Mrs. Robinsons decision will influence grandparents in the American family. Two-thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obamas family.“In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldnt wait to get away from home far enough or fast enough to prove we could do it on our own,” says Christine Crosby, publisher of Grand, a magazine for grandparents. “We now realize how important family is and how important it is to be near them, especially when youre raising children.”Moving is not for everyone. Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices(奉献), but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead. Having your grandchildren far away is hard, especially knowing your adult child is struggling, but giving up the life you know may be harder.25. Why was Garzas move a success?AIt strengthened her family relationship. BIt improved her living conditions.CIt offered her chances to make more friends.DIt helped her know more new places.26. What was the reaction of the public to Mrs. Robinsons decision?AThe majority think it will be a trend.BFew people responded sympathetically.C83% believed it had a bad influence.D17% expressed their support for it.27. What did Crosby say about people in the 1960s?AThey were unsure of themselves.BThey wanted to live far away from their parents.CThey were eager to raise more children.DThey had little respect for their grandparents.28. What does the author suggest the grandparents do in the last paragraph? A. Sacrifice for their struggling children. B. Ask their children to pay more visits to them. C. Make decisions for the most good of their own. D. Get to know themselves better.CAmong a group of middle-aged men and women，who were discussing bringing about quality education(素质教育)，was a young man dressed in a white shirtWithin minutes, he was called onto the dais(讲台)Twenty-two-year-old Babar Ali was surrounded by educators from across IndiaHe was popularly known as the worlds youngest head teacher The school that Babar started in poor Bhabta village has completely changedWhen he was nine years old, he had only eight students in his schoolNow the school has 300 students and 10 teachers.
