11、ded that I was going to treat myself to a 4-day getaway from Los Angeles and visit Chicago. I got a free airplane ticket, but had to pay the hotel in cash, which I really couldnt afford. I found a travel website where a discounted 3-night stay was purchased from a recently opened hotel.About three w

12、eeks before the trip, I had to regretfully cancel and only then did I realize the room, while transferable to another person, couldnt be changed to a later date and wasnt refundable. For the next two weeks I tried selling it on Craigs list with no success. Five days before the “big weekend”, I gave

13、up trying to get any money back and decided Id contact some acquaintances who live in Chicago and offer someone a free “staycation”. After trying a handful of people, all of whom already had their own plans, I was determined to have the room not go to waste.Thats when it suddenly occurred to me that

14、 I was looking at the rooms in the wrong way. Instead of viewing them for vacation purposes, surely there must be a way to put them to good use, and that was when the idea that some sort of shelter might be able to use it hit me. I eventually found one whose focus is aiding victims of domestic viole

15、nce. This particular one was willing to listen to my out-of-left-field story and made it easier to transfer the rooms. The shelter was working with a desperate woman and her daughter, who were fortunately able to make use of the room. I was later told by the shelter “they had a blast”.1、We can learn

16、 from paragraph 1 that the author _.Ahad a tight budget for his holidayBbought his flight ticket using cashCplanned to go on business in ChicagoDordered a 4-day getaway from a website2、What was the authors first choice when he realized the situation?AMaking the trip himself.BDoing a favor to a frien

19、nd optimistic.22（8分） A new keyboard can tell whether you are its owner. The keyboard records information about the typing pattern（模式）and sends it to a computer program. The program then checks to see if the pattern matches the right user. If not, an alarm sounds, and the computer locks the typist ou

20、t. It locks out everyone else, even if the person knows the password. Whats more, this equipment needs no batteries. It collects all the energy it needs from your actions of typing. Besides, the keyboard is also self-cleaning and the keys are free of damage from water, oil and dirt. The keys of the

21、new keyboard are made of the same inexpensive plastic that might be found on any other standard keyboard. But instead of being smooth, the keys have millions of tiny plastic nanowires（纳米线）on their surface area, increasing the effective contact areas between the plastics and fingers. This guarantees

22、that theres enough power to run the keyboard as someone types. Liming Dai, a scientist, did not work on the new keyboard, but he thinks the design could be important in getting better performance from a variety of equipment. It could also be applied to a touch screen, for example, Dai says. Then sma

23、rt phones and notepads could collect energy from someones actions of typing or drawing. Future work might make the keyboard even more useful, Dai adds. A later design might build tiny capacitors onto the nanowires, he suggests. Capacitors are little devices that temporarily store electric charge. Th

If a company decides to fund（资助）its production, this keyboard could be in stores in as few as two years, says Wang.1、How does the new keyboa

So she let out a yell, c

35、aught hold of her 2-year-old daughter Kibibi and climbed up into a tree. She lives at the National Zoo in Washington DC.And on Tuesday, August 23rd, witnesses said she seemed to sense the big earthquake that shook much of the East Coast before any humans knew what was going on. And shes not the only

36、 one. In the moments before the quake, an orangutan (猩猩) let out a loud call and then climbed to the top of her shelter.“Its very different from their normal call,” said Brandie Smith, the zookeeper. “The lemurs (monkey like animals of Madagascar) will sound an alarm if they see or hear something hi

37、ghly unusual.”But you cant see or hear an earthquake 15 minutes before it happens, can you? Maybe you canif youre an animal.“Animals can hear above and below our range of hearing,” said Brandie Smith. “Thats part of their special abilities. Theyre more sensitive to the environment, which is how they

38、 survive.”Primates werent the only animals that seemed to sense the quake before it happened. One of the elephants made a warning sound and a huge lizard (蜥蜴) ran quickly for cover. The flamingoes (a kind of birds) gathered before the quake and stayed together until the shaking stopped.So what kind

39、of vibrations (震动) were the animals picking up in the moments before the quake? Scientist Susan Hough said earthquakes produce two types of wavesa weak “P” wave and then a much stronger “S” wave. The “P” stands for “primary”. And the “S” stands for “secondary”. She thinks the “P” wave might be what

40、sets the animals off.Not all the animals behaved unusually before the quake. For example, Smith said the zoos giant pandas didnt jump up until the shaking actually began. But many of the other animals seemed to know something was coming before it happened. “Im not surprised at all,” Smith said.1、Why

41、 did Mandara act strangely one day?ABecause it sensed something unusual would happen.BBecause its daughter Kibibi was injured.CBecause it heard an orangutan let out a loud call.DBecause an earthquake had happened.2、According to Brandie Smith,_.Amany animals hearing is sharpBearthquakes produce two t

Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is

44、the line between what I control and what you do?Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents

45、complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped.In this article, Ill describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarr

Examples include the color of the teens hair, the cleanness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the childs failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends.

48、or both wish to be considered an authoritysomeone who actually knows somethingand therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, theyll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.1、Why doe
