We’ve seen 3D films, 3D TVs and so on. They are so      that young people like to watch them very much. Have you ever heard of 3D      ? That was what the Belgian (比利时的) newspaper, La Derniere Heure, tried to do for its readers. This was Europe’s      3D newspaper.
It took the team two months to      the 3D newspaper. The team printed 115,000 copies of the special edition of La Derniere Heure. It was more than the usual      of the printed copies.
Each of these newspapers came with a pair of free 3D glasses. All the      and ads in the newspaper were in 3D and the text was the same as usual.      could get the best result by holding the paper 50 cm away from the eyes.
In fact, if people don’t      the 3D glasses, the newspaper will be terrible to read because the images are not     .
Many readers tried to      this kind of newspaper. In fact, some of them bought it just for fun. The first 3D newspaper was really popular. But the publishers had no plans to continue with it because it cost too much.

My name is Lily. I’m a junior high school student from Guangzhou. Last winter holiday, I visited Hong Kong for the first time with my mother and her workmates. Before we went through the entrance of the Customs and Excise Department (香港海关，缩写为CED), we had to wait for more than four hours there. All the passengers must show their permits (许可证) to the workers at the CED one by one. So there were a large number of people waiting in lines at the entrance hall. It took us a long time to walk along the metal pipes which divided the big hall into many different parts. So the entrance hall looked like a huge puzzle. Everyone should finish walking through the puzzle if they wanted to pass the entrance. I waited patiently and walked slowly after others. I just could see the back of their heads. It was difficult for me to breathe because too many people were there. At last I passed it but I was too tired to say a word.
Last month I visited Hong Kong again. But this time I didn’t spend much time waiting at the entrance of the CED because I got an Electronic Exit Permit with an “Electronic Brain” in it. When I passed the port of Hong Kong, I just needed to use it to touch the button at the entrance. It can save much time for people. I plan to visit Hong Kong again sometime in the future.
Who did Lily go to Hong Kong with last winter holiday?

How long did it take Lily to go through the entrance of the CED for her first visit?

Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Passengers must show their boat tickets to the workers at the CED.
B. The entrance hall of the CED is small and crowded.
C. The Electronic Exit Permit saves passengers much time.
D. Passengers can enter Hong Kong by pressing the button at the entrance with fingers.
What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Lily’s two different trips to Hong Kong.
B. Lily’s experiences of passing the entrance of the CED.
C. The crowded entrance hall of the CED.
D. The advantage of using Electronic Exit Permits.
Where can we read the passage?

More than 700 years ago, Scotland was fighting with England. The King of England wanted to control Scotland. He had a strong army so it was difficult for the Scots to fight. They lost many times. King Robert of Scotland had to run from the English army.
One rainy day, King Robert lay in a cave (洞穴). He thought that he was not good enough to be a king. He was so worried that he didn’t even see a spider near him. He looked up when he saw the spider climbing. It was trying to climb up to its web at the top of the cave but it fell down.
“How sad!” thought King Robert. “The spider is like me. It’s not strong enough.”
He watched while the spider tried again. It fell down a second time.
“Be careful little spider, or you might die,” he said. “Life is so hard. You’ll never
get back to your web.” But the spider tried again and again. King Robert watched while it slowly climbed back to its web. After an hour, the spider got to the web.
“You are such a great spider,” he said. “If you can keep trying, I can too. I must carry on fighting. I won’t let the English win.” Then his army grew strong and they stopped the English army successfully.

It was a great day for American girl D’ Zhana Simmons when she got a new heart. However, her dream died when the new heart started not to work properly. The doctors had to take it away. She needed another heart transplant (移植). But the doctors couldn’t find a proper heart so soon. Then they came up with an idea — they would use two machines to keep her blood flowing in her body. After waiting for about four months, D’ Zhana had another heart transplant. It was very successful.
When doctors use a man-made heart to keep a patient’s life, they usually leave the patient’s own heart in the body. “She, we believe, is possibly one of the youngest that had the machines without her own heart,” one of D’ Zhana Simmons’ doctors said.
Living without a heart for 118 days — that’s great. When a heart transplant doesn’t work, doctors have no time to waste. If they don’t get a new heart or some machines to help the patient, he or she will die. The patient’s life is in their hands. This story once again shows how important the medical (医疗的) world really can be. I hope that one day I will be a doctor. I hope I can be so quick and helpful to my patients.
Why did D’ Zhana Simmons’ dream die?

The underlined word “flowing” in the first paragraph means “     ” in Chinese.

How long did D’ Zhana Simmons live without a heart?

What’s the writer’s dream job?
