2.Raymond Wang,17,of Canada was awarded first place for a device that improves air quality on airplanes while cutting down the spreading of diseases at this year's Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF).
According to Intel,Wang's system improves the quality of fresh air in a plane cabin by more than 190 per cent,while cutting diseases by up to 55 times,compared to conventional designs.Intel noted that Wang's invention could be easily and economically fixed into existing airplanes.
Two other teen researchers earned awards of﹩50,000 each at the event.One developed a technique to more quickly diagnose diseases caused by HIV.It's the virus responsible for AIDS.The other invented a device to more quickly shut down undersea oil spills.
"Intel believes young people are the key to future innovation and that in order to confront the global challenges of tomorrow,we need students from all backgrounds to get involved in science,technology and engineering,"says Wendy Hawkins,executive director of the Intel Foundation."We hope these winners will inspire other young people to pursue their interest in these fields,"she says,"and apply their curiosity and creativity to the common good."
This year's Intel International Science and Engineering Fair featured approximately 1,700 young scientists selected from more than 75 countries and regions.In addition to the top winners,600 finalists received awards and prizes for their innovative research.
The Intel International Science and Engineering Fair honours the world's most promising student scientists,inventors and engineers.Their projects are then evaluated online by nearly 1,000 judges from almost every scientific field.
The 2015 Intel ISEF is funded jointly by Intel and the Intel Foundation with additional awards and support from dozens of other academic,governmental and scientific organizations.This year,US﹩4 million was awarded.

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 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 feel 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 least 30 minutes, And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.

Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make 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.

1.The text is especially helpful for those who care about_______.

A. their home comforts B. their body shape

C. house buying D. healthy diets

2.A home environment in blue can help people_________.

A. digest food better B. reduce food intake

C. burn more calories D. regain their appetites

3.What are people advised to do at mealtimes?

A. Eat quickly. B. Play fast music.

C. Use smaller spoons. D. Turn down the lights.

4.What can be a suitable title for the test?

A. Is Your House Making You Fat? B. Ways of Serving Dinner

C. Effects of Self-Consciousness D. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?

14.Friends play an important part in our lives,and although we may take  friendship  for granted,we often don't clearly understand how we make friends.While we get on well with a number of people,we are usually friends with only a very few.For example,the average among students is about 6 per person.In all the cases of friendly relationships,two people like one another and enjoy being together,but beyond that,the degree of closeness between them and the reasons for their shared interests vary greatly.As we get to know people we take into account things like age,race,economic condition,social position,and intelligence.Although these factors are not of prime importance,it is more difficult to get on with people when there is a marked difference in age and background.
Some friendly relationships can be kept on argument and discussion,but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs,to have attitudes and interests in common-they often talk about"being on the same wave length".It generally takes time to reach this point.And the more closely involved people become,the more they rely on one another.People want to do friends favors and hate to break a promise.Equally,friends have to learn to put up with annoying habits and to tolerate differences of opinion.
In contrast with the marriage,there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the association between two people.But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond,which can overcome differences in background,and break down barriers of age,class or race.
32.How does the author understand"friends"in this passage?D
A.Every student has 6friends.
B.Everyone understands clearly how to make friends.
C.All the people who get on well with each other are friends.
D.Friends are closer than those just getting on well with each other.
33.What should we avoid when making friends?D
A.Good economic condition.
B.Argument and discussion.
C.The same race,hobby and nationality.
D.A marked difference in age and background.
34.What do the underlined words"being on the wavelength"mean in Paragraph 2?C
A.Having the same background.
B.Using the same frequency while talking.
C.Having similar ideas,beliefs,attitudes and interests.
D.Keeping the same friendly relationship as other people do.
35.How do people strengthen friendly relationship according to the passage?D
A.To hold friendship ceremonies.
B.To completely get rid of differences in background.
C.To make friends with those who are of the same age and of the same race.
D.To support and understand each other by sharing experiences and emotions.

7.Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson,Arizona.
He moved there a few years ago,and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.
My earliest memories of my father are of a tall,handsome,successful man devoted to his work and family,but uncomfortable with his children.As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult I feared him and felt bitter about him.He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A's and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as"successful"as he was.Whenever I went out with him on weekends,I used to struggle to think up things to say,feeling on guard.
On the first day of my visit,we went out with one of my father's friends for lunch at an outdoor café.We walked along that afternoon,did some shopping,ate on the street table,and laughed over my son's funny facial expressions.Gone was my father's critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules.Who was this person I knew as my father,who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around?What had held him back before?
The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood.Although our times together became easier over the years,I never felt closer to him at that moment.After so many years,I'm at last seeing another side of my father.And in so doing,I'm delighted with my new friend.My dad,in his new home in Arizona,is back to me from where he was.
