7.The elevator of the future may be just over the horizon thanks to German company ThyssenKrupp.The firm has invented a cable-free elevator (called MULTI) that can go up and down like traditional lifts but the magnetic motors allow it to go side-to-side too.The designers predict that this technology could incrase the carrying capacity of existing architecture by as much as 50%.Plus it looks really neat.
ThyssenKrupp plans to use light-weight materials to build its elevator ears of the future and the lack of a cable winch(鋼纜絞車)will reduce weight as well.The ears wouldn't just move up and down as they do now but would instead go in a circle that allows more cars to slip in fight behind the next.The result is that you might only have to wait 10seconds for the next one to arrive rather than wait for the one you just missed to come back down.
The technology backing ThyssenKrupp's MULTI elevator is very similar to magnetic levitation(磁懸。﹕ystems used in high-speed trains.Each car has two magnetic motors-one for vertical movement and another for horizontal.This system can also deliver power to the car's internal lighting and electronics without using wires.
A traditional cable driven elevator has mechanical components that can hold the car in place in the event of a power-off.ThyssenKrupp didn't go into detail about safety measures in its announcement but it's safe to say the magnetic levitation elevator will have some sort of system to hold it in place if the lights go out.ThyssenKrupp is working on a test tower that will be used to develop the MULTI into a real elevator technology.This should be up and running by 2016but it will probably take at least a few more years before you get to climb inside a magnetic elevator car.

17.Your house may have an effect on your figure.Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off.You can make your environment work for you instead of against you.Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.
Open the curtains and turn up the lights.Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating,for people are often less self-conscious(難為情) when they're in poorly lit places-and so more likely to eat lots of food.If your home doesn't have enough window light,get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.
Mind the colors.Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites.In one study,people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room.Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing,while cold colors make us less hungry.So when it's time to repaint,go blue.
Don't forget the clock-or the radio.People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals.Begin keeping track of the time,and try to make dinner last at 30 minutes.And while you're at it,actually sit down to eat.If you need some help slowing down,turning on relaxing music.It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.
Downsize the dishes.Big serving bowls and plants can easily makes us fat.We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate.When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one,total intake(攝入) jumps by 14 percent.And we'll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short,wide glass than a tall,skinny glass.
24.The text is especially helpful for those who care aboutB.
A.their home comforts  
B.their body shape   
C.house buying    
D.healthy diets
25.A home environment in blue can help peopleB.

B.reduce food intake   
C.burn more calories   
D.regain their appetites
26.What are people advised to do at mealtimes?C
A.Eat quickly.

C.Use smaller spoons   
D.Turn down the lights
27.What can be a suitable title for the text?A

15.Nowadays,have(61)alook at the food in a supermarket,and you will probably find food from many different countries.Perhaps there are apples(62)brought(bring) from California,lamb from New Zealand,or potatoes from Egypt.You will probably be (63)surprised(surprise) how far food travels to get to your plate.This journey(64)is called (call)"food miles".A food mile is the distance that food travels(65)from  the farmer's fields to the buyer.Nowadays,food often travels thousands of miles to get to consumers(顧 客).
 Traditionally,farmers sold their food in the local market,which means food didn't have to travel very far.The consumers also didn't travel very far because they often(66)went(go) to their local market to buy the food.This was a good system for farmers and consumers.(67)However,there were some disadvantages.For example,consumers could only buy food that farmers produced(68)locally(local).In addition,they could only get food(69)which/thatwas in season.Thanks to the rapid (70)development(develop) of modern technology,we can now buy almost all kinds of food from different countries.

19.Call it the learning paradox:the more you struggle and even fail while you're trying to learn new information,the better you're likely to recall and apply that information later.
The learning paradox is at the heart of"productive failure,"a phenomenon identified by researcher Manu Kapur points out that while the model adopted by many teachers when introducing students to new knowledge providing lots of structure and guidance early on,until the students show that they can do it on their own makes intuitive sense,it may not be the best way to promote learning.Rather,it's better to let the learners wrestle with the material on their own for a while,refraining from giving them any assistance at the start.In a paper published recently,Kapur applied the principle of productive failure to mathematical problem solving in three schools.
With one group of students,the teacher provided strong"scaffolding"--instructional support and feedback.With the teacher's help,these pupils were able to find the answers to their set of problems.Meanwhile,a second group was directed to solve the same problems by cooperating with one another,without any hints from their instructor.These students weren't able to complete the problems correctly.But in the course of trying to do so,they generated a lot of ideas about the nature of the problems and about what potential solutions would look like.And when the two groups were tested on what they'd learned the second group"significantly outperformed"the first.
The apparent struggles of the second group have what Kapur calls a"hidden efficacy":they lead people to understand the deep structure of problems,not simply their correct solutions.When these students meet with a new problem of the same type on a test,they're able to transfer the knowledge they've gathered more effectively than those who were the passive recipients of someone else's expertise.
In the real world,problems rarely come neatly packaged,so being able to discern their deep structure is key.But,Kapur notes,none of us like to fail,no matter how often Silicon Valley entrepreneurs praise the beneficial effects of an idea that fails or a start-up company that crashes and burns.So we need to"design for productive failure"by building it into the learning process,Kapur has identified three conditions that promote this kind of beneficial struggle.First,choose problems to work on that"challenge but do not frustrate."Second,provide learners with opportunities to explain and elaborate on what they're doing.Third,give learners the chance to compare and contrast good and bad solutions to the problems.And to those students who protest this tough-love teaching style:you'll thank me later.
59.Why does the author call the learning process a paradox?C
A.Pains do not necessarily lead to gains.
B.What is learned is rarely applicable in life.
C.Failure more often than not breeds success.
D.The more is taught,the less is learned.
60.What does Kapur disapprove of in teaching?C
A.Asking students to find and solve problems on their own.
B.Developing students ability to apply what they learn.
C.Giving students detailed guidance and instruction.
D.Allowing students a free hand in problem solving.
61.What kind of problem should be given to students to solve according to Kapur?D
A.It should be able to encourage collaborative learning.
B.It should be easy enough so as not to frustrate students.
C.It should be solvable by average students with ease.
D.It should be difficult enough but still within their reach.
62.What can be expected of this tough-love teaching style?A
A.Students will be grateful in the long run.
B.Teachers will meet with a lot of resistance.
C.Parents will think it too harsh on their kids.
D.It may not be able to yield the desired results.
