Once upon a time, two brothers who lived on neighboring farms fell into conflict (沖突). It was the first serious one between them in 40 years of farming peacefully side by side. In the end, they fell apart.

One morning, a man with a carpenter's toolbox came for some work. The elder brother said, “I just have a job for you. Look at the farm across the creek (河溝). My younger brother lives there. It was he who used his bulldozer (推土機(jī)) to dig the creek last week to spite (刁難) me. So I want you to build me a fence, an 8?foot?high fence, in order not to see his place any more.” The carpenter smiled and said, “I see. I'll try to do a job that satisfies you.” Then the elder brother went downtown.

At sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job. The farmer's eyes opened wide! To his surprise, there was no fence there at all! Instead, there was a bridge stretching from one side of the creek to the other! A fine piece of work! He saw his younger brother coming to him with the hands outstretching. The brothers stood at each end of the bridge, and then they met in the middle, taking each other's hands. They turned to see the carpenter lift his toolbox on his shoulder. “No, wait!

When building houses, people used to think about not only the climate of the areas but also the building materials and the fashions for their houses. However, since electricity became more and more expensive, people began to pay much more attention to the energy they could get for their houses and the new ways they could find to protect their houses from both cold and heat.

Houses of an old yet new type have been widely built. In some parts of the world, people share their houses with their livestock (家畜). During cold weather, they gather their cows, goats, or other animals and keep them on the first floor of their houses. The reasons are that the animals can be protected from the cold and that they can help to heat the houses as well. The body heat given off by the animals rises to the second floor of the houses, where people live. By sharing their houses with their livestock, people gain a source of heat.

People who live in or near cities do not usually keep livestock. However, home builders use the fact that heat rises. This natural law can be used in building houses in these areas. Instead of keeping livestock on the first floor, builders fill it with large rocks. As they are open to the sun’s rays during cold weather, these rocks take in heat. They also give off the heat, and, of course, the warm air rises into the living areas of the houses. So these houses are energy saving.

House building becomes a great challenge to building designers and energy engineers. They try to meet this challenge by learning from old traditions and by using modern technology. And someday in the future, people will be able to live in more energy saving houses.

1.What did people begin to consider as electricity was no longer cheap?

A．The climate of their areas

B．The energy for their houses

C．The fashions for their houses

D．The building materials for their houses

2.People in some areas gain a source of heat by _________.

A．Keeping their livestock downstairs

B．Protecting their livestock from the cold

C．Sharing their houses only with their cows

D．Living on the second floor with their livestock

3.The underlined words “natural law” in the third paragraph refer to the fact that ________.

A．Heat raises the temperature in the houses

B．Heat increases the temperature of rocks

C．Heat goes up if temperature is raised

D．Heat goes in the upward direction

4.From the passage, we can infer that __________.

A．People will no longer consider building materials in the future

B．Energy saving buildings will become more popular in the future

C．Almost all people will move into the houses heated by large rocks

D．Energy engineers will devote themselves only to modern technology.

How to Be Confident

We are all human and have weaknesses. Even if your physical appearance or social skills aren’t what you wish they were, that doesn’t have to stop you from being confident. 1._____

*Make a list of special talents you have, or things you do that are good—morally（道德上） or otherwise. It doesn’t have to be a specific skill；it can be an approach or an attitude that you hold through life. 2.____ Are you very patient with people? Do you always see the humorous side of things? Are you always there for your friends?

*3._____ When you feel strongly about something, speak loudly and clearly and make eye contact with people. People will judge you all the time, and usually they’ll misjudge you anyway, so why bother trying to live up to their opinions at all?

*Take care of yourself. Eat a healthy diet and get enough exercise. Don’t abuse your body, don’t overload it, and don’t deny it any of the things it needs. At the same time, don’t obsess(沉迷). 4.____ Those things are only band-aids(權(quán)宜之計(jì)） and make-up. Confidence comes from within. In order to be confident, you must value yourself and understand that your well-being is important.

*Improve your posture. 5._____ Don’t drop your shoulders. Make sure that your back is straight, your shoulders are square, and your chest sticks out slightly (but stay loose, otherwise you’ll appear stubborn （固執(zhí)的）and nervous). Good posture also helps with deep breathing, which helps with feeling calm and relaxed.

A. Here’s how to believe in yourself.

B. But smiling at yourself in the mirror helps you to love yourself, thus making you a bit more confident.

C. Buying all the moisturizers (潤膚霜) and creams will not bring you closer to who you want to be.

D. It is surprising how powerful the simple step of taking action can be.

E. Do you always stay calm, cool and collected, even in hurried situations?

It is reported that thirty cellpones taken away by teachers during the examination and were smashed(粉粹) in front of students and parents at a high school. As to this, we hold a heated discussion the other day. There are two different viewpoints about them.

Some think it necessarily. Firstly, with cellphones, students would have focused their attention on studying instead of wasting their precious time reading junk message. Secondly, the examination will be fair if no one cheats by using cellphones. However, the others don’t think so. For one thing, at the age of information, cellphones have become a necessity. For another, students can use cellpones for study.

Personal speaking, even if some students use cellphones for no good reason, we should educate them more than destroy cellphones in such an extreme way.
