People in Los Angeles are known for their love of cars．The city is very large，and its public transportation is slow．So people drive everywhere．But now，a group of bicyclists are trying to get people out of their cars and on bikes．
Devon Fitzgerald says he has to be careful when he rides his bike in the streets．"A lot of people are in a rush，and it's very difficult to keep careful，for they would rather care for their speed than your safety．"Although riding a bike to work can be dangerous，he prefers it to a car．"It's much simpler than driving a car．For example，I don't have to worry about parking．"
Roger Rosas drives to work．"You always have to make sure you look to the other side because someone would rush across by bike．Or you can easily get into an accident．"
To make bicycling safer，some people who live and work near each other are riding to work together，which they call a "bike train"．Nona Varnado helped create the group L．A．Bike Trains．"You're in a big group．If you're afraid of riding alone，you can now ride with experienced riders．"Nona said that people would feel safer by riding together in a group．

Hey， guys! I have a lot of things I don't need， so I'm thinking about having a yard sale． What do you think？
|
Thank you!
|
Having a yard sale is not easy． You have to collect things， put prices on them， put them out on tables and then wait for people to come． And usually you have to sell things at VERY low prices． For all that time and work， you make very little money． Why not just sell your things online for higher prices？ |
Debby's right． But I think it'd be even better to just give your things to people who need them． I just sent out a lot of things last week． |
Hey， I love yard sales! It's a great chance to make big money if you choose the right day． In my experience， Saturday is the best．
|
I agree with Albert． You can make money and meet interesting people． I made some good friends at my last yard sale．

I have a friend called Mark. Last Sunday it was a beautiful day. When it got too hot, Mark rolled up his sleeves. I was very surprised to see that he had a tattoo! Then he told me he has lots of tattoos. He has tattoos on his arms, legs, chest and back. So of course I asked him lots of questions about the tattoos!
“It was ten years ago,” he said, “I remember I was on an island in the middle of the sea. I chose a dolphin tattoo because I wanted to have something about the sea.”
“I liked the idea of doing more designs about the sea. So after the dolphin I had an octopus, and then a starfish. These are on my left leg. Then, over my left arm I had lots of fish swimming together. They took a long time to do. I also have a crab and a lobster too!”
“Most recently I got a mermaid. It was finished two weeks ago. I saw a painting of a beautiful mermaid in a museum. I took a photograph and then decided to get a tattoo. I made the design a little simpler.”
“People ask me if getting a tattoo hurts. It depends. If you feel relaxed then it’s OK. But if you’re tired or nervous then you feel it more. It also depends where on the body the tattoo is done.”Where did the writer find the tattoo?
A. On Mike’s sleeves. B. On Mike’s arms. C. On Mike’s body. When was the mermaid done?
A. Ten years ago. B. Last Sunday. C. Two weeks ago. Where did he get the idea for the beautiful mermaid?
A. From the sea. B. From a painting. C. From the cinema. We can learn from the last paragraph that _______.
A. it’s not good to feel nervous when getting a tattoo
B. people can do anything they like with their tattoos
C. people have different feelings about their tattoos What does “tattoo” mean?
A. 烟草 B. 图片 C. 文身
I think there are several reasons that suggest developing robots is a waste of money．
In San Diego recently ＄ 325，000 was spent on inventing a robotic squirrel to do some scientific experiments． The research proved that squirrels are able to scare away snakes by wagging （摇动） their tails． Do you need a robotic squirrel to work this out？
What about AIBO，a robotic pet，developed in Japan？ In Japanese aibou means "buddy"． These pets have been developed at huge cost mainly to provide entertainment．They've been used in movies and music videos． Universities have used them for educational purposes．However， in 2006 the company stopped producing these robotic pets in order to save money． Was it worth a lot of money？
Then there's NAO， a robot which has been developed by a French company．Its main purpose is to make life easier for humans． It speaks 19 languages and has its own personality．It can tell children a story， help in the classroom or the home， or act as a companion to those people who need someone to be with．A fully developed one costs ﹩16，000． Is that value for money？ Who can afford it anyway？
There may be good reasons why it is worth developing robots， but so far I haven't thought of any．
（1）What does the underlined word "companion" in Paragraph 4 mean in Chinese？
A．公司
B．机构
C．对手
D．伙伴
（2）What is the true fact about the robots mentioned？
A． The robotic squirrel is needed by every scientist to do some research．
B． AIBO wasn't made any more because it only provided entertainment．
C． A fully developed NAO may tell kids stories in different languages．
D． All the three types of robots used to be produced at a very low cost．
（3）What does the writer think of developing robots？
A． It can help bring people a lot of fun．
B． It has advantages in many ways．
C． It may be useful but costs too much．
D．It is worth a great deal of money．
Work is helpful to health．Scientists find that the hard﹣working people live longer than those who have no jobs．Studies show that the jobless are in poorer health than job﹣holders．Career（ 职业的） women are healthier than housewives．
Why is work good for health？It is because work keeps people busy，away from loneliness．Researches show that people feel unhappy，worried and lonely when they have nothing to do．Instead，Instead，the happiest people are those who are busy．Many high achievers who love their careens feel they happiest when they are working hard．They work as a bridge between dream and reality，so they have energy every day．By work，people get to know each other．By taking part in all kinds of activities，they find friendship and warmth．This is helpful to health．The loss（丧失）of work means the loss of everything．It affects man's spirit and it will cause more illnesses．
Besides，work gives one a sense of hope and a sense of achievement．Work makes one feel his
value and status（形象） in society．When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow，they are happy beyond（ 超越） words．
From the above，we can come 如o a conclusion； the more you work，the happier and healthier
you will be．
29．How will people feel when they have nothing to do from the passage？
A．Relaxed and excited．
B．Happy but bored．
c．Worried and unhappy．
D．Relaxed but unhealthy．
30．Who are the real happiest people？
A．Those who are rich．
B．Those who are friendly．
C．Those who are famous．
D．Those who are busy．
31．The underlined word "it" in the passage means
A．the loss of happiness．
B．the loss of work．
c．the loss of energy．

Some days，don't you think，"Wouldn't it be nice if the laundry would just do itself？"Self﹣cleaning clothes may sound crazy．But Australian researchers have found a way to make something like this possible!
A team at RMIT University in Melbourne，Australia，found a way to put special nanostructures （纳米结构） into clothing，which can then clean the clothes．When sunlight hits the nanostructures，they break down the dirt and stains （污渍） that don't belong on your clothes．
The nanostructures don't break down the actual clothing because cotton and the other clothing materials are too strong to be broken down．According to CNN，the researchers cover the clothing in a solution made of silver and copper （铜） nanostructures．All it takes is 40minutes of sunlight and your clothes will look as good as new．
So if you spill on yourself during lunch，you can step outside for a walk，and it will be clean by the time you go inside．It not only makes your life easier，but it can also be good for the environment．
According to the US Department of Energy，the average load of laundry uses about 25gallons （about 94liters） of water．Water is a very important resource，so using less of it to wash clothes is better for the environment．But one of the scientists at RMIT University knows more needs to be done．
"There's more work to do before we can start throwing out our washing machines，"said Dr Rajesh Ramanathan，"but this is a strong foundation （基础）．"
So what's the next step？Ramanathan wants to either start selling the solution by itself or convincing （说服） clothing makers to treat the clothing with the solution while clothes are being made．
57．How do the clothing with the nanostructures get cleaned？
A．Cotton clothes wash easily
B．This kind of clothing washes it by itself．
C．The dirt and stains are broken down in the sunlight．
D．Silver and copper help to get off the dirt in the dark．
58．What do Paragraphs 4﹣5talk about？
A．What advantages the self﹣cleaning clothes have．
B．How the self﹣cleaning clothes work．
C．How the self﹣cleaning clothes are made．
D．What helps the self﹣cleaning clothes work．
59．What does the underlined word"solution"in the last paragraph mean？
A．Machines
B．Clothes．
C．Silver．
D．Design．
60．What can we learn from the passage？
A．Silver and copper sell well．
B．The solution is not put into practice．
C．Clothing makes certainly like the solution．
D．We don't need washing machines any more．

What would you do if you had trouble seeing clearly？You would probably go to an eye doctor who might give you glasses.For many people around the world，however，such a way isn't that simple.
The World Health Organization reports that glasses can help one billion people in the world.Yet places like Ghana have only one eye doctor every 8 million people. Thismakes glasses almost impossible to get.Joshua Silver，a teacher at Oxford University，however，may have solved the problem.
Mr.Silver has developed liquid（液体）﹣filled glasses that users can adjust（调整） by themselves without seeing a doctor!The lenses（镜片） are filled with oil.Using a dial on the glasses，the user changes the amount of oil.This changes the strength（度数） of the lens.After the user finds the right strength，he then fixes the lens.
Results show that among those who have tried the glasses，around 80% are satisfied.Mr.Silver's goal is for everyone who still needs glasses to have such glasses as soon as possible.With a little more effort，Mr.Silver thinks that his goal might be achieved in the near future.
