Once I went shopping on my first visit to Macao. Coming from cold and cloudy England, I enjoyed the sun and dressed in a T-shirt and a         skirt. Not having much         to enjoy the sun in England, my legs were very white. In England this is not a fashionable look at all . Most women spend every sunny day out trying to get darker skin. The darker the skin, the better the look. I have tried to get darker but          works for me!
As I         one shop, the two shop assistants kept looking at my legs the whole time , talking quietly to each other in Chinese. I began to feel uncomfortable and asked my friend      we could leave. After we left the shop, she asked me what was wrong. I complained about the shop assistants being very impolite . They      be talking about my white skin. My friend laughed. “They weren’t laughing at you. They were saying how nice your legs are. Many Chinese women want to have white skin like yours.        , there are many beauty products in the shops to make skin whiter and a lot of money is spent on them.”
It just shows that we are never happy with what we have. The grass is        greener on the other side. If the women of the West and East         the same way, Western women wouldn’t spend so much money on cream that makes skin darker and women from the         wouldn’t need to use cream that makes skin whiter.

  The Dress That Turns into a Coca Cola Machine 

This specially designed dress looks like a normal dress，but if you unfold it and cover yourself，you may look like a Coca Cola vending machine（自动售货机）. Because there are many vending machines like that on the street，it must be easy for you to hide．If you feel that someone is following you or there is some danger，you can disappear within five seconds．But don’t use it to scare your classmates．That’ll be rude.
                                  

The M-Dress is a nice black dress．It is also a mobile phone．It accepts a standard SIM card and allows the wearer to receive calls without carrying an actual(真实的) phone in their pocket or purse．You just need to bring your hand to your ear when you want to answer a phone call．When you finish talking and release your hand，the call will close．It is fashionable and useful．But it will certainly be an embarrassing moment when your dress rings in public．
  Air Conditioned Jackets 

You will love these air-cooled jackets in summer time when it is very hot outdoors．The jacket has fans that draw air in．The fan is powered by an inside battery．Now it is possible to spend nearly every second of your day with cool air．

The underlined word release in the 2^nd paragraph means ________.

The second dress is called M-Dress probably because ________.

Everybody hates rats. But rats may soon be man’s new good friend.
What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue(援救)dogs. Why? Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can’t get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat.
How does it work? First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rat’s brain gives a signal(信号). This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat’s brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person.
Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. “Robots’ noses don’t work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that.” Rats can also see in the dark, they are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they don’t need electricity!
The “rat project” is not finished, but a scientist says, “It would be great. A rat could get into spaces we couldn’t get to, and a rat would get out if it wasn’t safe.” Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake, of course).
In the writer’s opinion, rats may become man’s new friend because         .

What does the underlined word “this” mean?

Which of the following is NOT true?

Why does the “rat project” sound great according to the passage?

Which is the best title of this passage?
