If you want to enjoy Italian art, you may get off at _.A. West Dulwich B. blackfriars C. Sloane Square D. HighburyBIf you have a little child, who hates sitting in a car seat, then the FreedomRide is the answer to your problem.Would you want to be stuck in an unchangeable position every time youre in the car? No. You wouldnt.When an adult sits in a car for any length of time, we stretch, we change the position, we move our legs again and again. We do this without thinking. But kids in a traditional car seat cant do this. They are stuck in one position, and they cant move. We move because the circulation of blood needs to be recovered in our legs as we sit in the same position for any longer.In a traditional car seat, the child cant move to reduce the pain, so it puts them in anger.The FreedomRide lets them have a little freedom, and still be safe. The 5-Point Harness(背带) gives them additional safety over a traditional child car seat.I am the Webmaster for , and when JoeySafe asked us to redo their website, I was attracted by this system. That is because I have two small children, both girls, aged 3 and 4 and we obviously use car seats. I lived in Southern California, and every couple of months, my wife, the girls and I, go to see grandma who lives in Nevada. Its a 5-hour drive, so the FreedomRide works well. Our trips are so much better now, especially since there is more room in the car without the car seats.The FreedomRide really did make it easier to go on trips. The only thing you need when you use the JoeySafe instead of your old child car seat is a pillow. Besides, my kids want to take a pillow anyway! As a dad, I feel safe driving with the kids in the FreedomRide. I am a very safety-oriented person.24. From the text we can infer the FreedomRide is a _.A. car seat B. car for childrenC. safety belt D. game on 25. The FreedomRide is likely to be designed for_.A. a person hating sitting in the car for longB. an adult often driving a traditional carC. a child requiring some freedom in the carD. a driver needing comfortable seats26. The purpose of the last two paragraphs may be to _.A. support the topic of the child car safetyB. describe the advantage of the FreedomRideC. introduce the detail of the authors work and web.D. describe what the author does with his child car seat27. The next part following the last paragraph may mention_.A. the way of ordering B. the way of communicatingC. the inventor of this product D. the advantage of the productCHumans have been keeping animals as pets for tens of thousands of years, but Dr Jean-Loup Rault, an animal scientist at the University of Melbourne in Australia, believes new companions are coming: robot pets.“Technology is moving very fast,” Rault told ABC News, “The Tamagotchi in the early 1990s was really the first robotic pet, and now Sony and other big companies have improved them a lot.”This may not sit well with pet lovers. After all, who would choose a plastic toy over a lovely puppy? But Rault argues that the robotic kind has a lot going for it: “You dont have to feed it, you dont have to walk it, it wont make a mess in your house, and you can go on a holiday without feeling guilty.” The technology also benefits those who are allergic to pets, short on space, or fearful of real animals.Its not clear whether robot pets can replace real ones. But studies do suggest that we can bond with these smart machines. People give their cars names and kids give their toy animals life stories. Its the same with robots. When Sony stopped its repair service for its robot dog Aibo in March 2020, owners in Japan held funerals.As an animal welfare researcher, Rault is concerned about how robotic pets could affect our attitudes towards live animals. “If we become used to a robotic companion that doesnt need food, water or exercises, perhaps it will change how humans care about other living beings,” he said.So are dogs and cats a thing of the past, as Rault predicts? For those who grew up with living and breathing pets, the mechanical kind might not do. But for our next generation who are in constant touch with smart technology, a future in which lovely pets neednt have a heartbeat might not be a far-fetched dream.28. What does the underlined phrase “sit well with” means?A. be refused by B. be beneficial toC. make a difference to D. receive support from29. What are the advantages of robot pets?a. They are plastic and feel smooth.b. Owners neednt worry about them when going out.c. They can help cure allergies（过敏）.d. They save space and costs.A. ab B. bc C. bd D.cd30. We can learn from the passage that_.A. Sony is the first company to produce robot pets Aibo.B. People can develop strong bond（联系、关系） with their robot pets.C. Rault thinks robot pets still have a long way to go.D. Robot toys may help people care more about living beings.31. The passage mainly tells us_.A. the advantages of robot toys B. the popularity of robot petsC. living pets are dying out D. robot pets are comingDAt first it was only kings who were recognized as important enough to have a birthday celebration. To protect them, friends and family would visit the king and bring good thoughts and birthday wishes.As time went by, children became included in birthday celebrations. The tradition of childrens birthday parties first started in Germany.One of the largest private birthday parties that ever happened was in 1970 for Colonel Harland Sanders (the founder of KFC) 80th birthday it was attended by over 35,000 people.Many centuries ago, birthdays were considered a time when the bad spirits were able to harm you. It was believed that you should have your friends and family around you, so that their good wishes and present-giving would keep the bad spirits away. The custom of lighting candles also had a spiritual origin. People believed that the gods lived in the sky, and that by lighting candles and torches, people were sending a signal or prayer to the gods.Later on, candles started to be used to decorate birthday cakes. One theory about the origin of the birthday cake is that it started with the Greeks, who baked round cakes representing the full moon for their moon goddess, Artemis. They also placed candles on the cake to make it glow, again like the moon.However, the Germans are also credited with the first cakes and candles. They used a sweet cake and they put a large candle in the centre of the cake to represent the light of life.The Happy Birthday song is more than a hundred years old. The music was written in 1893 by two sisters, Patty and Mildred Hill, who were schoolteachers in Louisville, Kentucky. The music was originally a morning greeting to their students entitled Good Morning To All. In 1935 the words were copyrighted (that is, the words legally belonged to the Hill sisters), and copyright has been bought and sold in multi-million dollar deals ever since. The current copyright is owned by Warner Communications. They bought it in 1989 for more than $22 million.Happy Birthday to You is recognized around the world and has been translated into many different languages. And children still love to make new versions of it.32.

This is essential if you are to have a curious mind. Be open to learning, unlearning, and relearning things. 36 Therefore, you should be prepared to accept this possibility and change your mind.37 Most people just accept the world as it is. This way, they will certainly lose the “holy curiosity”. Try to dig deeper beneath the surface of what is around you. A sure way to dig deeper beneath the surface is asking questions. What, why, when, who, where, and how are the questions curious people always ask.Dont label anything as boring. Whenever you label something as boring, you close one more door of possibilities. Curious people are unlikely to consider things boring. 38 Even if they dont yet have time to explore them, they will leave the door open to be visited another time.Take learning as something fun.
