The Sweetest Sight
I was in the most beautiful city in the world, yet I only wanted home.
It was an amazing week for my husband and me –the trip of a lifetime. Months ago, when my husband told me that he would have a meeting in London. I expressed my    to go to Europe together with him. Then we asked his mother to       our two children and started off.
During the week’s time,     visited London and Paris –as much as we could, Big Ben, the Louvre and so on. All these were beautiful places we expected to see before. We really enjoyed ourselves.
On our last night in Paris,    we enjoyed the night view(夜景) of the Eiffel Tower, my husband called home. His mother    the phone. In a second, my husband’s face fell and he looked so worried. I could feel something      happened.
“What’s wrong?” I asked.
He didn’t answer and continued to listen. A few minutes later, he said      to me that Tony, our seven-year-old son, had fallen off his bike and      his leg. He must be sent to hospital at once.
At that moment, Paris suddenly lost its charm(魅力).
“I don’t want to be here! I shouldn’t be here! I should be home       my kids!”
We hurried back to our hotel and then to the airport …
Finally, we got home. We rushed into our children’s bedroom. Seeing our two children, I suddenly realized the truth: there is no       sight(风景)in the world than your children’s faces that greet you at home.

In April this year, lots of bags full of small change(零钱) were seen at bus stops in Tianjin. They were made for passengers to turn their notes into small change. And such an idea came from four students from Zhongbei Middle School, Tianjin.
“People will surely feel worried when they take a bus without coins. We just want to do something to help them,” said Wang Yongcun, 15, one of the four students.
The four boys spent their whole weekend making the change bags. After that they went to see the number of the passengers at each bus stop near their school, and then chose the top six stops to put the bags.
Many people think that the four boys have really done a good job. But, things didn’t go as the boys thought. Two days later, they found that the money was gone, and that even the bags were taken. It really made them sad but they would not give up. Their classmates and teachers came to help them in time. They put their pocket money in bags again. And the teachers also taught them to make better change bags. They tried their best to do it.
The four boys feel very happy because they have done something good for the passengers. Their warm hearts are moving. More and more people are beginning to join in the activity.

What’s the main idea of this passage?

When a computer works on a group of programs, it can get very hot. Cooling the computer can cost a lot. So some scientists wonder what would happen if the heat from the computer could be used.
Large Internet companies (公司) such as Google and Microsoft have thousands of computers. As these computers deal with information, they produce lots of heat, so they need huge cooling systems (系统). These systems send the heat into the air.
A company in Holland (荷兰) thinks paying to make the computers work and then paying again to cool them are a waste of energy. So the company developed a special device—the e-Radiator.
Boaz Leupe, head of the company, says that e-Radiator works as a heating system and saves money. He explains that the energy is used twice—once to heat the home and once to cool the computer and that the users don’t have to pay to cool their computers.
Five homeowners in Holland are testing the heating system in their homes.
“We pay for the computer using, so, in that way, homeowners get heating for free,” Boaz says.
Jan Visser is one of the homeowners. “If you use the computer more, the e-Radiator producers more heat, ”he says, “It cannot provide enough heat if you don’t use your computer often.” But he is ready to try it. It’s a great help for his family.
The company says e-Radiators produce heat temperatures of up to 55℃. It says the system could save its users about $440 a year.
Before the e-Radiator appears, usually the heat of a computer ______.

The e-radiator is mainly used _____.

The Chinese meaning of the word “device” in this passage is probably “____”.

The best title of the passage may be “_____”.
