        The angry locals of an English village blocked the driver of a Google Street View car who was
    filming the neighborhood, saying they feared he world encourage thieves, a report said Friday.
    One local, Paul Jacobs, told the BBC he had warned his neighbors after spotting the car from
    his window in Broughton, Buckinghamshire, southern England, on Wednesday.
    “I don’t have a problem with Google wanting to promote villages. What I have a problem with
    is the invasion （侵犯）of privacy, taking pictures directly into the home,” Jacobs said.
    “We’ve already had three homes broken into locally in the past six weeks. If our houses are
    made noticeable all over Google, it’s an invitation for more criminals to strike. I was determined to
    make a stand, so I called the police.”
    After his call, a police car arrived in Broughton in response to an argument between a crowd of people and a Google Street View contractor.
    “They felt his presence was a threat to their privacy. When police arrived at the scene, the car had moved on,” explained a spokeswoman for Thames Valley Police.
    The Google Street View project, set up last month in Britain, aims to provide detailed 360-degree views online of streets all over Britain.
    The project has already been strongly criticized by associations like Privacy International, a pressure group which has launched legal action against the IT company.
    Google is confident that their new mapping project is within the law.
    “Before launching Street View we sought the guidance and approval of the Information Commissioner’s Office. The ICO has repeatedly made clear that it believes that Street View includes the safeguards necessary to protect people’s privacy,” a Google spokesman said.
    “The Metropolitan Police （in London） told us they saw no significant security risk, that thieves are likely to make use of the opportunities, and that mapping products can be useful in solving and mapping crime in an area.”
    He added: “Engaged in new projects, we sometimes meet unexpected challenges, and Street View has been no exception.”
    41．When the police car arrived at the village,           .
    A．the villagers were angrily arguing with the Google car driver.
    B．the map car was stopped from leaving the village.
    C．The map car had stopped its working and gone on its way.
    D．The map car was surrounded by the angry villagers.
    42．The underlined phrase “make a stand” in Paragraph 4 means       .
    A．stand there all the time whole waiting for the police
    B．show full support to Google’s filming the neighborhood
    C．attempt to defend locals by stopping Google’s filming the neighborhood
    D．stand in the way to stop the car moving on
    43．Which of the following sentences is TRUE?
    A．Google’s mapping project has not been officially approved.
    B．Three homes had been visited by thieves with the help of Google pictures.
    C．The police rushed to stop a fight between locals and Google contractors.
    D．It was not the first time that the Google map project had been criticized.
    44．What’s the best title for the passage?
    A．Google’s Mapping Project Promotes the Neighobrohood.
    B．Angry British Villagers Stop Google Maps Car.
    C．Google Goes On With its Plan to Film the Streets.

    The day before the deadline for this article,I had no clue what I was going to write about. I took my problem to the editor-in-chief, and.he said to me:“Don’t worry; you’re creative. ”
    I’m not sure where the editor-in-chief reached the conclusion that I was “creative”. Maybe it was through the poems I wrote. Personally, I simply enjoy writing because it’s fun. There’s also the fact that I can’t draw or do anything else creatively, I’m equally sure that there are people in the boat on the other side who can make things look excellent, but can’t write a poem.
    At this point you probably want to ask me what poetry and art have to do with engineering.  For one, it makes you a more rounded person, making you a better engineer. More importantly, as an engineer, you will be faced with many problems every day. There are some that can be solved by consulting a textbook, but more often than not, you will need that thing in your brain to put together things in a completely original combination to solve the problem at hand.
    Think of the wonderful things that creative engineers have done. Civil engineers have made the road more long-lasting so we don’t have to close them for repairs as often. Coming up with a new innovation (创新) is similar to writing a good poem. It’s not some-thing you plan to do. The critical moment comes unexpectedly in the middle of nowhere. You don’t think about what you’re doing, you simply do. After some mad struggling you take a look at the end product and say to yourself, “This is a masterpiece. ” This is perhaps the greatest personal satisfaction one can
    experience.
    So all you engineers out there get out and do something creative. I don’t care if it’s writing a poem or a computer program, just be natural and do something creative.
    小题1:This passage mainly deals with        .
    A．the creativity of engineersB．the power of editor-in-chief
    C．engineering in generalD．a way of thinking
    小题2:In the author’s opinion, writing poems can        .
    A．show one is creativeB．make him happy
    C．bring him in lots of moneyD．have an effect on one’s mental health
    小题3: According to the author, art can help an engineer to        .
    A．find the solutions to problemsB．learn to write poetry
    C．be courageous in face of challengesD．get along well with others
    小题4:Coming up with a new innovation is similar to writing a good poem in that both are      .
    A．logically developedB．strictly planned
    C．experience- basedD．naturally creative
    小题5:The greatest personal satisfaction of an engineer comes from      .
    A．planning his work successfullyB．building things quickly
    C．finishing his work innovativelyD．writing good poems naturally

    If your head is overheating, you are very likely to yawn(打哈欠) soon, according to a new study that has found the main purpose of yawning is to control brain temperature. The study explains several mysteries about yawning, such as why it’s most commonly done just before and after sleeping, why certain diseases lead to too much yawning, and why breathing though the nose often stops yawning.
    “Brains are like computers,” Andrew Gallup, a researcher in the department of Biology at Binghamton University who led the study, said. “They operate best when cool.”
    He and his co-workers Micheal Miller and Anne Clark did researches on yawning in parakeets(长尾小鹦鹉) , which have relatively large brains, live wild in Australia, often experience temperature changes, and, most importantly, do not yawn when others yawn, as humans and some other animals do.
    For the study, the scientists put parakeets under three different conditions: increasing temperature, high temperature and normal temperature. While the frequency(频率) of yawns did not increase under the latter two conditions, it increased greatly when the researchers increased the temperature.
    It’s now believed yawning operates like a radiator(散热器).
    If air in the atmosphere is cooler than the brain and body temperatures, taking it in quickly cools blood, which in turn cools the brain. The new findings also explain why tired people often yawn. Both tiredness and sleep loss can increase brain temperature, while yawning can cool down the brain.
    In the future, researchers may focus more on brain temperature and its role in diseases and their symptoms. But the new study on yawning changes the popular idea that yawns are just signs of getting tired of something.
    49. What’s the best title for the passage?
    A. Why don’t people yawn at normal temperature?
    B. The yawn explained—it cools your brain.
    C. Yawning operates like a radiator.
    D. The cause of yawning—finally found out.
    50. The main reason why researchers chose parakeets to do the research is that parakeets______.

    Skateboarding has become one of several non-traditional activities that PE teachers around America are introducing to inspire kids to exercise regularly. Some PE classes feature in-line（滚轮） skating, yoga, and even rock climbing. Experts have called those types of activities “the new PE”.
    Such activities are part of a larger effort to help kids develop lifelong fitness habits and to keep them from becoming overweight. Now, 9 million U.S. children and teens are overweight. Obesity (肥胖) can lead to health problems such as diabetes and heart disease later in life.
    "Our children and youth are becoming unhealthy and obese," says Johnson. "Skateboarding is a great activity that keeps kids doing physical movement and gives them new skills and interest."
    Some schools don't allow skateboarding because they say it is dangerous. Tim, however, argues that regular practice eliminates a great deal of the danger. "We teach students how to do it and how to do it safely," he says.
    Some people say skateboarding teaches life lessons. “Skateboarding teaches kids to believe that if they stick with something they will finally succeed. ”says education expert Richard Savor from College in Portland.
    Skateboarding inspires kids not to give up in learning difficult skills. "It's natural for kids to want to learn and get better at things," adds Tim. "When it comes to skateboarding, they'll try a trick hundreds of times before they succeed." That same effort could be made in schoolwork.
    Eric Brown agrees that skateboarding requires kids to stop saying a task is too hard for them. "A baby will attempt to walk 600 to 900 times before he or she is successful," says Eric, "We tell students that they shouldn't say 'I can't do it' unless they've tried 600 to 900 times.
    72. Skateboarding is introduced into American schools to ______________.

    74. What life lesson do kids learn from skateboarding?
    A. To succeed in life you have to learn skateboarding.
    B. You will succeed in life if you don't give up.
    C. Only after failing 600 to 900 times can you succeed.
    D. There is no hard work after learning skateboarding well.
