Fathers give us support. They are the shore(岸)we swim to when our arms and legs feel tired. ②They are the strength we rely on (依靠)as we take our first steps into the world. Fathers can be gentle and powerful, but they probably have the simplest love we ever know.
For sons, the father is their first hero and possibly the only man they will ever feel comfortable loving.
For daughters, the father is the first man they admire and the first man whose eyes shine with happiness when they look at them. He is the first man to fall in love with them.
For mothers, the father of our children is the person we can believe in to watch over the babies as closely as we would. We are protectedin the knowledge of their love. A father is the person on the planet with whom we can do whatever we want ... one who will be just as interested and never feel bored in the face of our devotion.
Without fathers, we wouldn't be mums. I would like to thank them from all our hearts for this honor and for being our partners in the business of raising children.

How often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains(痛苦), and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets(后悔).
Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities(責任) to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. What’s more, life is always giving new things to the child--- things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is repeatedly being told not do something or being punished for what he has wrongly done.
When a young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society(社會) as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he worked hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the greatest happiness of building up for himself his own position(地位) in society.
【小題1】What is the happiest person according to the passage?
| A.A child who can do whatever he likes. |
| B.An old person who lives in a comfortable life. |
| C.A grown-up who no longer expects other to pay for him. |
| D.A person who never wastes his time in his whole life. |
| A.Life for a child is fairly easy. |
| B.A child is always loved whatever he does. |
| C.If much is given to a child, he must do something in return. |
| D.Only children are interested in life. |
| A.Life is not enjoyable since each age had some pains. |
| B.Young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hard. |
| C.Childhood is the most enjoyable time in one’s life. |
| D.One is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life. |
| A.Examples of successful young men. |
| B.How to build up one’s position in society. |
| C.Joys and pains of old people. |
| D.What to do when one has problems in life. |

He made a necklace for his mother that everyone admired.They were surprised to learn that Tom had made it for her.Why not make more necklaces and sell them?
“OK,” said Mary,“The first thing you need to do is to figure out(計算)how much you have now.’’
“I have $20.00 in the bank,and $7.25 in my room,” explained Tom.
“That gives you a total of $27.25,” said Mary,“That is called your capital.The next thing you need to know is how much it will cost you to make each necklace.”
“Well,the pet shop will give me all the feathers the birds lose.I'll have to buy the beads(小珠子)and string,” said Tom.
Mary wrote on the piece of paper:
CAPITAL $27.25
EXPENSES Feathers no cost
String for 10 necklaces $ 2.50
Beads for 10 necklaces + $ 15.00
Total $ 17.50
“How much do you think you can sell such a necklace for?” asked Mary.
“Hmm,” Tom looked thoughtful and said,“There's a shop in town that sells almost the same kind of necklace for $ 7.50.If I charge(要價)$ 6.00,people will think that's a bargain.”
“OK.If you sell each necklace for $ 6.00,you'll make a good profit(利潤)on each then,” said Mary.
“Hurray!” Tom cried,“If I sell 20 necklaces,I'll have enough from the profit for the camping trip and $10.00 left over.”

Do you think there is too much noise in our city? If you live near an airport,you will be unhappy because of a plane often make a loud noise.The sound of planes or heavy vehicles is likely to cause deafness if heard continuously(不斷地).
However, most people in our city do not seem to mind noise. They like to enjoy music when they are doing uninteresting jobs.It is a new danger because pop music,when played through powerful amplifiers(放大器),can reach 120 decibels(120分貝的)at a distance of five feet.A continuous noise of over 85 decibels can cause deafness.It was discovered that many young people in America could hear no better than 65-year-old people.
In the past we used to think that only workers in very noisy places would become deaf.For example,when newspapers and books are being printed,the noise level is over 85 decibels,and some of the workers become deaf.Today,however,scientists believe that 10 percent of the workers in Britain are being deafened by the noise.
Sometimes noise of less than 85 decibels can make some people tired and stressed.We all know that too much noise makes life difficult and unpleasant.It can do great harm to people's health and prevent people from working well.Workers in noisy offices are not as efficient(效率高的)as those in quiet offices.Noise makes people less efficient.Can anything be done to reduce or control noise?
In Britain the government has made several laws to reduce noise.Though the government has spent a lot of money in making airports and main roads quieter,many people think that there are still not enough laws.For example,there are no laws to control the noise of machines.In Japan,America and Norway there are such laws.As a result,workers can be given compensation(賠償)if they become deaf.
【小題1】Some workers become deaf because of ________.
| A.hard work | B.a(chǎn) continuous noise of over 85 decibels |
| C.powerful amplifiers | D.uninteresting jobs |
| A.stop workers from becoming deaf | B.control the noise of machines |
| C.keep down noise | D.help deaf workers in need |
| A.American workers. |
| B.British workers. |
| C.Both American workers and British workers. |

What are you going to do if you are in a burning house? How will you escape? Do you know how to save yourself? Please read the following passage.
Escaping a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save you life. It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family, such as stairways and fire escapes, but not lifts.
From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through windows is possible, learn the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury.
The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. An average person, hanging by the finger-tips will have a drop of about six feet to the ground. It is about the height of an average man. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.
Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed. Or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may leaked(滲) into the room.
On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those that open onto a roof. From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto cement(水泥) might end in injury. Bushes(灌木叢) and grass can help to break a fall.

Many companies use guards and expensive alarm systems to protect their property (財產(chǎn)). Soon a new kind of protection will be used—robots. Engineers have been working on the first mobile robots for businesses. The robots will guard factories, warehouses (倉庫) and museums at night.
The mobile robots will move around slowly on wheels. They will be able to detect (察覺,發(fā)現(xiàn)) people through walls and pick up sounds, such as breaking glass. They can be fixed with loud sirens to frighten thieves, or radios to signal police or guards.
To protect a building, a robot will have to move around without knocking into the walls. Information about the building will have to be stored in the robot’s small, built-in computer. A floor map could be programmed into the computer’s memory, for example.
A mobile robot will not be able to do everything. Unlike human guards, it will not be able to climb stairs, open doors, or move along rough ground. It won’t be able to tell the difference between friends and enemies. Because of that, people will have to be prevented from entering the area it moves.
One kind of mobile robot will be able to “sense” whether a chair or a box has been moved and go around it. This robot will also judge size well enough so that it won’t send an alarm if a cat crosses the room. And if someone tries to steal this robot, it will sound a loud, painful siren. The three-foot-tall robot is hard to be stolen anyway. It weighs about 200 pounds.
U.S. companies pay almost $10 billion a year to protect their property with alarm systems and human guards. Mobile robots may be cheaper. (296)
【小題1】 Why is the new kind of robots called mobile robots? Because they can _____.
| A.guard factories, warehouses and museums |
| B.send loud, painful sirens when it is stolen |
| C.sense moving objects and signal police |
| D.move around and do the programmed work |
| A.From a human guard. | B.From a built-in computer. |
| C.From another robot. | D.From radio signals. |
| A.New Guards. | B.Science and Technology. |
| C.Alarm Systems. | D.Engineers and Robots. |
