Bill McIntosh and Royce Wedding had been the best friends for 30 years. Now, living alone 12 miles east of the town, Bill earned his living by hunting foxes and rabbits.
"Coming to the football match this afternoon?" Bill McIntosh asked 54-year-old Royce Wedding as they drank beer at the Eureka Hotel. Royce shook his head, "I promised Mom I’d burn off the weeds in one of our fields." “I’ll give you a hand," Bill said.
Driving slowly from the southern edge of the field, they worked their way upwind, leaving a line of burning weeds in their wake. Suddenly the fire was on them. Bill pushed open his door only to find himself thrown through the air, the gasoline tank exploded and the car jumped three feet off the ground. When it crashed back down Royce found himself unable to move. Bill lay where he fell. “Royce!" he cried, struggling to his feet and heading for the car. Pulling open the door, he seized Royce’s arms through the smoke. "I’m stuck," Royce said. “Get yourself away!" The fire bit at Bill’s arms, face and legs, but he said, "I'm not leaving you here.” Now Bill pulled as hard as he could. Suddenly he fell backward. Royce was free and out of the car.
"What's the matter with that dog?" said Vicky Wedding, Royce’s mom. Shocked by noise behind her, she turned to see Bill leaning against the door.
Six months after the fire, when Royce went out of hospital, he walked into the Eureka Hotel and bought Bill a beer.

Time Travel
If you could travel in time, where would you go? Perhaps you would watch an original performance of a Shakespeare’s play in Elizabethan England? What about hanging out with Laozi in the Spring and Autumn Period? Or maybe you’d voyage far ahead of the present day to see what the future holds.
The possibility of time travel is indeed appealing. Stories exploring the subject have been around for hundreds of years. Perhaps the best known example is science fiction novel The Time Machine, which was written by H.G. Wells and published in 1895 for the first time. It was adapted into at least two feature films of the same name, as well as two television versions, and a large number of comic book adaptations. It is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposefully and selectively. The term “time machine”, coined by Wells, is now universally used to refer to a vehicle transporting people into the far future.
But could time travel actually be possible? Some scientists say yes, in theory. They propose
using cracks in time and space called “wormholes”, which could be used as shortcuts to other periods. Einstein's theory of relativity allows time travel in extreme circumstances. And British
physicist Stephen Hawking says you could travel into the future with a really fast spaceship — going at nearly the speed of light. Though building such a spaceship would of course be no simple task.
Even if you could travel into the past, there is something called the “grandfather paradox”. It asks what would happen if a time traveler were to go back in time and have his own grandfather killed for some reason, and therefore prevent himself from being born.If the time traveler wasn't born, how would he travel back in time?
And would you really like to visit the future?In H.G.Wells' book, the main character travels into distant time where he arrives at a beach and is attacked by giant crabs. He then voyages 30 million years into the future where the only living thing is a black object with tentacles(觸角).If that's what's in store, maybe we are better just living in the present day after all.
1.The novel The Time Machine mentioned in Paragraph 2 aims to show___________.
A.the special feature of the book
B.People's interest in time travel
C.the long history of time travel
D.the contribution of H.G.Wells
2.Einstein's and Hawking's theories_________.
A.suggest the possibility to invent the time machine
B.have similarities in many ways
C.have proved wrong by some time travelers
D.push the invention of the first spaceship
3.In Paragraph 4,“grandfather paradox” probably refers to the idea that__________.
A.the traveler is prevented from meeting his grandfather
B.the traveler goes back in time to seek for his grandfather
C.the grandfather's death makes the traveler's birth impossible
D.The reunion of the traveler and his grandfather brings happiness
4.According to the passage, what is probably the author's attitude towards time travel?
A.Supportive. B.Unconcerned.
C.Unclear. D.Skeptical.

Technology is changing our lives. Our present aerospace (航天航空)companies are gradually disappearing as private space concerns are being born every day. I'm going to discuss three space?based businesses that are sure to soon influence us all.
First we have to make space travel cheaply and safely. Engine design is the main challenge. To make money in space, the cost of space travel will have to diminish(減少). This problem will be the most difficult to solve. Liquid fueled rockets are the only way to get out of Earth's orbit. Finding new ways to power the flight to space is also another big challenge.
Finding the key to cheap space travel might be the biggest story of our times. There are a lot of great minds working on this problem. And companies are pouring money into research and development. In the next few years we'll see the first sub?orbital tourist. And not long after that we should really start to see new and exciting things as competition heats up.
Spacecraft design and production will naturally follow rocket technology. All sorts of crafts will be needed for the wide uses they'll be tasked with. Several companies in the United States have already made small, low?cost test vehicles.
Resources in space will provide great mining profits to those who can afford the cost of setting up such a huge operation. Can you imagine finding a huge asteroid(小行星) of pure gold? The benefit to mankind is limitless. Mining on other planets, like Mars, also adds CO2 into the very thin atmosphere. Over time this can lead to the formation of an atmosphere similar to Earth's.
Space is going to offer us untold opportunity and wealth. But this is only going to occur if wealthy investors step forward and fund the first steps forward. It is certain that technology will take us to worlds we could never have imagined.
1.The passage is mainly about ________.
A.the future of space travel
B.the cost of space travel in the future
C.the development of spacecrafts
D.cheap travel in the future
2.What should be done first to make travel in space cheap and safe?
A.A direct route from Earth to other stars should be found.
B.Some new kinds of fuel should be used in the rockets.
C.New material should be used to build the rockets.
D.New rocket engines should be designed.
3.According to the passage mining on other planets might help ________.
A.increase the travel benefits there
B.form the atmosphere like Earth's there
C.bring some new species there
D.create more job opportunities there
4.According to the passage, the space?based businesses are ________.
A.likely B.imaginary
C.unbelievable D.valuable

Tricks to Finding the Cheapest Flights
Travel can be a lifesaver. The right vacation at the right time can refresh your body and mind. But ticket prices are sharply on the rise, many have written off travel as too expensive. However, with a few tricks and a little research, there are still lots of great deals to be had on airline tickets.
Early Bird Gets the Deal. Travel experts say that there are certain times of day when more deals are available. Airfares can change three times a day as airlines adjust their prices to fill up flights. Early morning is when the fares tend to be lowest, but it is a good idea to check every five hours to track prices as they change throughout the day. Also, it’s a good idea to check again at 5 pm when the airlines are trying hardest to fill empty seats.
What Wouldn’t a Business Traveler Do? Most business travelers fly on Mondays and Fridays, so Tuesday and Wednesday are the best days. Airlines will usually lower their prices on these days to aggressively try and fill empty seats.
Avoid the Crowds. Fly to popular places at unpopular times. The slowest time of the year for travel is in the Fall between Labor Day and Thanksgiving. Again, to try and fill more empty seats, the airlines will lower prices to get people to fly during this time of the year.
Right Place, “Wrong” Time? By flying to popular destinations at unpopular times, you can secure the best prices from travel companies and airlines. Here’s where flexibility in your planning can pay off. Going to the airline websites and planning your vacation around the best ticket prices offered can result in a fun, cost-effective vacation and maybe widen your horizons to a place you might never have considered before.
Package Deals. Many times the best deals on airfare can be found as part of a package rate. Most travel sites have package rates available and they are definitely worth a look. Often times, the entire package (hotel, airfare, rental car, meals, tours ect) is cheaper than just the plane ticket on another site. These deals are especially good on last minute bookings.
1.What is the passage mainly about? (回答詞數(shù)不超過8個)
___________________________________________________________________
2.When may the airfares be the lowest of the day? (回答詞數(shù)2個)
___________________________________________________________________
3.When do business travelers usually fly? (回答詞數(shù)2~4個)
___________________________________________________________________
4.How can you find the cheapest flight tickets if you plan to travel to popular places? (回答詞數(shù)3個)
___________________________________________________________________
5.What does the entire package include? (回答詞數(shù)不超過8個)
