My mother __17__ each new culture, climate and neighborhood. Each new house was a __18__ to rearrange furniture, make curtains and hang pictures.

No matter how difficult the life was, she was always having a __19__ attitude. She always had strength in the face of struggle and change. My mother was so __20__all those years of my childhood — she was my island in a sea of change. She is my hero.

I got interested in the idea of standing desks about a year ago. The health advantages of standing instead of sitting for eight hours a day are clear, so when the company Ergotron invited me to review their WorkFit C-Mod Dual Desk, I jumped out of my chair---really.
After several hours putting the desk together, I finally got to try it out. The standing desk had a desktop that I could use for writing.
At first I absolutely loved it. Standing during the day instead of sitting was fantastic. Although I felt more tired after all that standing during the day, I knew the health benefits were worth the slight discomfort. However, after the initial novelty (新奇)of the desk wore off, I realized that I could not use it in the long term.
It was just not practical. While using the desk for a month , I could definitely foresee problems arising from using it full time.
I enjoy having a lot of things on my desk. The standing desk just did not have enough room for all of my things.
I can easily foresee awkward situations when I put that desk in an office space. When someone comes into your office, does your guest have to stand as well? If you office is big enough, maybe you have room for two chairs for you and a visitor, which is great. Yet for the ordinary worker in a small office, the standing desk creates a very awkward situation.
Additionally, the amount of money I would have to spend to replace my current workspace with a standing desk was another issue. The desks I have looked at were highly expensive.
Yes, spending the day standing can offset(抵消) many of the negative effects of too much sitting, but we humans are designed for movement. Through activity changes like taking the stairs instead of the elevator, you can easily increase the time you spend on your feet. Best of all, those options are completely free.
小題1:When the author was asked to try the standing desk out, he was ____.
A．excitedB．surprisedC．unhappyD．uninterested
小題2:When first using the standing desk, the author ___.
A．thought it was boringB．thought it was wonderful
C．felt less tired than usualD．felt quite uncomfortable
小題3:According to the author, a standing desk ____.
A．takes up too much spaceB．is suitable for long-term use
C．is cheaper than traditional desksD．is impractical though good for health
小題4:What does the author mainly tell us in the text?
A．How to use the standing desk.B．What he does during the workday.
C．His opinion on the standing desk.D．The advantage of the standing desk.

Maybe you’ve just invented something better than the iPhone or a solar-powered car. You don’t want anyone to steal your design. What should you do? Patent (申請專利) it! Patents are the best way to get credit for your work and help others continue advancing in that field. Here’s what you need to know.
A patent gives you the right to an invention. The patent protects its owner, which means the invention can’t be copied or sold without their agreement. In exchange, the owner must reveal information about the invention. This contributes knowledge that helps other inventors improve on their own research. A patent usually lasts about 20 years.
The first step to getting a patent is the application. The person applying must name the invention, explain its use and describe it clearly. The invention must be practical and contain some new characteristic — something that hasn’t been seen or used before. But not everything “new” can be patented. Many countries don’t allow patents on things like new concepts, scientific theories, medical procedures or substances already found in nature.
You may not be able to see patents, but they’re connected to nearly everything. There are patents on things you use every day, like plastic, medicine and your computer. There are patents on things that are unavailable on the market, too. Apple is well-known for its patents on potential products, such as the “iBike” or the “iKey”.
Of course there are also patents on inventions like this. Take the anti-eating face mask for example. This device locks around your head with a metal cage covering your mouth. You can breathe and speak, but you can’t eat!
Although many patented inventions can be failures, there’s plenty of room for success. So if you have a cool invention, try to patent it.
小題1:Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?
A．A patent can last for around 20 years.
B．Everything new can be patented.
C．Your invention is protected after you have applied for a patent.
D．Some patents are on the things that we use every day.
小題2:We can infer that Apple’s iBike is _____.
A．a(chǎn) popular productB．a(chǎn) mere new concept
C．a(chǎn) famous brand in the worldD．a(chǎn) practical bike on the market
小題3:The underlined word “device” in Paragraph 5 can best be replaced by “_____”.
A．weapon B．medicineC．equipment D．strength
小題4:The purpose of writing this passage is to _____.
A．a(chǎn)dvertise B．persuadeC．warnD．inform

Everyone gets sick of hearing. “Put on your seat belt!”But it’s good advice. People who wear seat belts are 45 percent less likely to be killed while riding in the front seat of a car.
The US government wants more seat belt laws. It says children aged 4 to 15 are often killed in car accidents. In 2005, there were 1,627 children aged 4 to 15 killed in car accidents. More than 1,000 of those children were not wearing seat belts. If they had been wearing seat belts, 500 of those children could be alive today.
These children are too old to be in car seats, but they often sit in the back seat. Seat belt laws in many states, including Wisconsin, only require people in the front seat to wear seat belts. Children who aren’t wearing seat belts can be thrown from the car. The risk of dying in an accident is three times greater if the person is thrown from the car.
New laws could require children aged 4 to 8 to be in booster seats in the car. Booster seats help seat belts fit children properly. Right now, only 5 percent of children aged 4 to 8 are seated in booster seats.
While parents have the choice of whether wearing seat belts or not, children are too young to make that choice. Even if you decide not to wear a seat belt, make sure you children are in seat belts and car seats. It’s the law and it will save their lives.
小題1:The underlined sentence “Everyone gets sick of hearing”in the first paragraph means“________”.
A．there is something wrong with everyone’s ears
B．a(chǎn)ll people fall ill when they hear something
C．many people don’t pay attention to wearing seat belts
D．none of the people knows it is a piece of good advice
小題2:More than two-third of 1,627 children were killed because ___________.
A．they weren’t using seat belts
B．they were too careful when they walked on the road
C．they were not old enough to sit in the car
D．they wore seat belts
小題3:You must get your children to put on seat belts in order to ________.
A．keep them comfortable in the car seatB．keep them safe
C．keep them awake in the car all the timeD．prevent all kinds of traffic accidents
小題4:What would be the best title of this passage?
A．Children Should Put on Seat Belts.
B．Too Many Traffic Accidents Happened Recently.
C．Traffic Laws Are Very Important.
D．Parents Are Important to Children.

“NOW I just don't believe that. ”Surely all of us, at some point, have watched a movie and thought: It's simply badly researched，or the makers must think we're fools. Recently, The Daily Telegraph ran a humorous piece on untrue tech moments from some top movies. Let’s see what they are all about.
Tom Chiver, the writer of The Daily Telegraph uses his first example from the movie Independence Day, in which a character comes up with a virus（病毒）which destroys Windows the computer system the alien （外星人）spacecraft uses. “It's a good thing that they didn't have Norton Anti-virus，” jokes  Chivers.
It's just one case of a movie that takes a lot of license with its science. Another one Chivers mentions is from the movie Star Wars, where the glowing light beams (光束）traveling through space look very impressive. But the problem is that in space there are no air particles (粒子）for the light to reflect off. In reality, they'd be invisible（看不見的）, which wouldn’t look so cool on the big screen.
Most people think that the mind—bending Matrix films are made for great viewing. But for Chivers, the science in the movies is a little bit silly. He comments “…the film is based on the idea that humans are kept alive as electricity generators (發(fā)電機). This is not just unlikely —it's basically impossible. They would need more energy to stay alive than they would produce. It's just like saying that you'll power the car with batteries, and keep the batteries charged by running a generator from the wheels. ”
And finally, as Chivers points out, DNA is not replaceable. But this bit of elementary genetics passed the makers of the 2002 Bond film Die Another Day by. In the film the bad guy has “gene treatment” to change his appearance and his DNA, which is completely impossible in our real world.
小題1:Which of the following does the writer agree with about the movie Independence Day?
A．It's a science fiction movie.
B．It's about the alien spacecraft.
C．It's produced by Tom Chiver.
D．It's a jokey and humorous one.
小題2: What is mainly talked about in the 4th paragraph?
A．How we can power the car with batteries.
B．How Tom Chiver thinks of the Matrix films.
C．How humans are kept alive as power generator.
D．How the Matrix films are made for great viewing.
小題3:Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．The movie Star Wars is about the light beams in space.
B．The author doesn't take the science in movies seriously.
C．Nowadays nobody believes in science movies any more.
D．There is a horrible virus in the movie Independence Day.
小題4:The underlined word “They” in the 4th paragraph refers to ______.
A．human beings B．car wheels
C．Matrix films D．electricity generators

What is your body language saying to your children? What is their body language telling you? I had the honor of hearing Jan Hargrave speak the other day. She is one of four body language experts in the US. Jan Hargrave says we lie with the right side of our brains, so it is our left hand that gives us away. A person touching his nose, pulling at his ear or rubbing his eye with his left hand might be lying to you. Also, a person who, in any way, crosses any fingers might just be lying. That, she says, is a holdover(遺留物) from childhood, when we crossed our fingers to signal that we didn’t mean what we were saying. When children squint(眨) their eyes, move their body away from you, or can’t seem to make good eye contact, you may need to ask for a little more clarification.
But just as important, children learn early how to read our body language when they are conversing(交談) with us. Here are some acceptance signals to let them know you are interested when they are talking to you. Lean(傾斜) towards them. Make good eye contact and smile. Open your arms. Let your hands relax with the palms(手掌) showing: an open, upward palm always show acceptance. If your legs are crossed, make sure you are not crossing them away from your child. These are important because they signal to your child that you are focused on them and are accepting and welcoming them into your world.
By paying attention, we can open those lines of important communication with our children and we can see the truth more clearly. I think it would be a mistake to use these tools to lie, but we need to be aware of the signals we are giving so we can show people that they really do matter to us.
小題1:According to Jan Hargrave, we can tell whether a person is lying by _______.
A．observing his/her left hand’s movements.
B．looking at how he/ she crosses his/ her fingers
C．observing whether he/ she uses body language
D．making good eye contact with him/ her
小題2:We can learn from the passage that body language _______.
A．is hard to master for children
B．can be understood in different ways
C．may help improve communication
D．is more likely to hide the truth
小題3:Which of the following does NOT show acceptance to people?
A．Smile while making eye contact.
B．Open your arms to them.
C．Relax your hands with the palms showing.
D．Cross your leg away from them.
小題4:In the last paragraph, the author seems to suggest that parents_______.
A．spend more time with their children
B．learn to read and use body language
C．pay attention to family communication
D．try to prevent their children from lying

Snow falls in the Earth’s extreme North and South throughout the year. However， the heaviest snowfalls have been reported in the mountains of other areas during winter. Snow is even known to fall near the Equator (赤道)，but only on the highest mountains.
Snow contains much less water than rain, but much of the water the world uses comes from snow. Melting snow provides water for rivers, electric power stations and agricultural crops. In the western United States, mountain snow provides up to seventy-five percent of all surface water supplies.
Snowfall helps to protect plants and some wild animals from winter weather. Fresh snow is made largely of air trapped among the snow crystals (晶體). Because the air has trouble moving, the movement of heat is limited. Snow also influences the movement of sound waves. The surface of the snow takes in, or absorbs, sound waves. As snow grows older or if there have been strong winds, it can become hard and flat. Then, the snow，s surface will help to send back sound waves.
Snow may be beautiful, but it can be deadly. It is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of people. Many people die in traffic accidents on roads covered with snow and ice or from being seriously stuck in the winter storm. Others die from heart attacks caused by too much physical activity out in the cold.
People may not be able to avoid living in areas where it snows often. However, they can avoid becoming victims of snowstorms. People should stop driving and stay at home until the storm has passed. People living in these areas should carry emergency supplies in their vehicle. These include food，emergency medical supplies，and extra clothing to stay warm and dry.
小題1:Mountain snowfall _____.
A．is heavier than that in the South and the North Poles
B．has never occurred near the Equator of the earth
C．brings less of the water the world uses than rain does
D．provides up to seventy—five percent of water supplies worldwide
小題2:Snow protects plants and wild animals from cold weather by _____.
A．supplying much more air B．limiting heat movement
C．a(chǎn)bsorbing strong winds D．sending back sound waves
小題3:Snow can be deadly mainly because it can _____.
A．cause road accidents
B．make people stuck in winter storms
C．lead to heart attacks
D．make people victims of snowstorms
小題4:What will the text probably tell us following the last paragraph? _.
A．How to drive during snowstorms
B．Where we can get emergency supplies
C．How to prevent heart attacks out in cold
D．Why we should stay warm and dry in winter
