Researchers around the world have been trying their hand at making better use of the huge amount of wind energy available in nature to produce clean energy.Apart from this,studies are being carried out to harness(利用) usable wind energy produced by man-made technologies.

One useful source identified by Indian inventor Santosh Pradhan about two years ago is a speeding train,which produces fierce wind that can be transformed into electricity.

According to Pradhan’s proposal,with a few small improvements in existing trains running in Mumbai,the largest city in India,at least 10,000 megawatts(兆瓦) of electricity could be harvested each day.

Building on this principle,designers Ale Leonetti Luparinia and Qian Jiang from Yanko Design have created a device(装置) called T-Box that harnesses wind energy from speeding trains.

T-Box can be placed within the railway tracks.It is half-buried underground between the concrete sleepers(水泥枕木),which does not disturb the normal train operating at all.According to Yanko,around 150 T-Boxes can be fitted along a 1,000-meter railway track.

A train running at a speed of 200 kph can produce winds blowing at 15 miles a second.Based on this calculation,150 T-Boxes can produce 2.6 KWH of electricity per day.The T-Box’s design won a silver medal in last year’s Lite-On Awards and was exhibited last summer at the Xue Xue Institute in Taipei,Taiwan Province.

Though the figures look impressive,it is important to remember that the design is still at a conceptual stage and hasn’t taken into account issues such as pieces of waste material produced by the device and the efforts and costs involved in the maintenance(维护) of the device.

We can expect the technology to see the light of the day only after it clears these issues.If so,rail travel,one of the greenest forms of travel,will become greener and 1.What can we learn about T-Box?

A.It will be fitted on the trains.

B.It is based on Pradhan’s idea.

C.It can turn electricity into light.

D.It was invented by an Indian scientist.

2.How much electricity can be produced per day by T-Boxes along a railway track of 100km?

A.260 KWH. B.2.6 KWH.

C.150 KWH. D.1.5 KWH.

3.It can be concluded from the last two paragraphs that ______.

A.T-Box has proved to be effective in harvesting wind

B.the maintenance of T-Box will be costly

C.there is much to do about T-Box

D.T-Box will come into use soon

4.According to the passage,which of the following statements is TRUE?

A.The Indian inventor Santosh Pradhan invented the speeding train.

B.The T-Box’s design won a silver medal in Lite-On Awards last year.

C.Rail travel has become one of the energy-efficient technologies in the world.

D.The India harvests 10,000 megawatts of electricity each day on average.

5.The passage is mainly written to _______.

A.encourage more people to travel by train

B.explain the advantages of electricity

C.tell readers how to save energy and money

D.introduce a new invention to readers

阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

When I was small and my grandmother died, I couldn’t understand why I had no tears.But that night when my dad tried to cheer me up, my laugh turned into crying.

So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing come from the same part of the brain.Just as laughing has many health advantages, scientists are discovering that so, too, does crying.

Whatever it takes for us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional(情感的) health, and crying seems to work well.One study found that 85 % of women and 73% of men report feeling better after crying.

Besides, tears attract help from other people Researchers agree that when we cry, people around us become kinder and friendlier and they are more ready to provide support and comfort.Tears also enable us to understand our emotions better; sometimes we don’t even know we’re very sad until we cry.We learn about our emotions through crying, and then we can deal with them.

Just as crying can be healthy, not crying – holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering- can be bad for physical(身体的) health.Studies have shown that too much control of emotions can lead to high blood pressure, heart problems and some other illnesses.If you have a health problem, doctors will certainly not ask you to cry.But when you feel like crying, don’t fight it.It’s a natural – and healthy- emotional response(反应)。

Dear Friend.

The recent success of children’s books has made the general public aware that there's a huge market out there.

And there's a growing need for new writers trained to create the $3 billion worth of children's books bought each year, plus stories and articles needed by over 650 publishers of magazines for children and teenagers.

Who are these needed writers? They’re ordinary folks like you and me.

But am I good enough?

I was once where you might be now.My thoughts of writing had been pushed down by self-doubt, and I didn't know where to turn for help.

Then, I accepted a free offer from the Institute to test my writing aptitude(潜能), and it turned out to be the inspiration I needed.

The promise that paid off

The Institute made the same promise to me that they will make to you, if you show basic writing ability:

You will complete at least one manuscript(手稿)suitable to hand in to a publisher by the time you finish our course.

I really didn't expect any publication before I finished the course, but that happened.I sold three stories.And I soon discovered that was not unusual at the Institute.

Since graduation, I have authored 34 nationally published children's books and over 300 stories and articles.

Free test and brochure

We offer a free aptitude test and will send you a copy of our brochure describing our recognized home-study courses on the basis of one-on-one training.

Realize your writing dream today.There's nothing sadder than a dream delayed until it fades (消失)forever.

Sincerely.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项。

It’s a time when school,homework,active social lives and pare-time jobs keep teenagers busy from early in the morning until late at night.They are likely to try to make up for a lack of sleep by “sleeping in” on the weekends.Unfortunately,this causes irregular sleep and actually makes the problem worse.

Most teenagers are not able to fall asleep until late at night.Since many teens aren’t sleepy until around 11 pm.but need to be at school by 7:30 or 8:00 am .They cannot get enough sleep .During puberty(青春期),the biological clock in the brain naturally re-sets to a later time ,and this causes teens to fall asleep later.Then ,when it’s time to get up ,a teen’s body clock is likely to still be producing the night-time hormones .This makes it hard for them to feel active and energetic in the morning.

A growing body of research suggests that starting high school later improves attendance,achievements and grades.A few years ago in an important study ,test scores on the SAT college entrance exams in Edina,Minnesota jumped more than 100 points on average,when the morning school bell rang an hour later.Unfortunately,most schools are not set up to start later and fail to satisfy teen’s sleep needs.

1.What effect does “sleeping in” on the weekends have on teenagers?

A.Improving their health

B.Weakening their energy

C.Disturbing their biological clock

D.Making up for their hormone loss

2.The study in Minnesota shows that starting morning school one hour later helps to______.

A.make teenagers grow faster

B.change teenagers’ sleep needs

C.do more research on teenagers

D.improve students’ achievements

3.The text helps us to know more about teenagers’______.

A.daytime activities B.sleeping habits

C.mental problems D.studying methods

Like human beings,dogs may catch cold because of cold weather,wet conditions or can also get it from other sick dogs.If a dog has a running nose and watery eyes,coughs or sneezes(打喷嚏),then it is quite probable that the dog has caught cold.

A dog's cold can get over after a few days without treatment but it totally depends upon the owner to treat it with medications or improve its immune power (免疫力) to get rid of the cold naturally.Following are some of the things you can do if your dog gets a cold.

You can improve its immune power by giving it proper nutrient diet.Healthy food can really do wonders.Try to give it food which is either suggested by the vet(兽医)or is healthy for your pet.Increase the intake of food which is rich in vitamins A,C and E.

Keep your dog warm.The best place for your dog in winter is inside your house.Do not keep your dog outside when it is cold and wet.At home you can also keep the dog warm with the help of carpets.This will make him comfortable and help him to recover fast.

Increase the fluid(流质)intake as it helps a lot.Water can be the best choice but you can also add broth (肉汤)in water which will give your dog strength.Warm water will make your dog more comfortable and will also keep the dog away from the respiratory infections(呼吸道感染).

Steam treatment is considered to be effective in getting rid of cold.It makes the nasal(鼻的) passage (通道)wet,which helps proper breathing.Just fill your bathroom with steam and leave your dog inside the bathroom for 15 minutes.Do it nearly 2 to 3 times a day and you will see your dog recovering.

These are some of the things you can do to help your dog recover from cold.However,if you are not able to find any improvement in its health,then turn to the vet for help immediately.Take your dog for regular checkups so as to avoid complications(并发症).
