A Dutch artist and designer has come up with a device which he hopes will get rid of pollutants from Beijing's smog skies, creating clean air for the city's mask-wearing people.
An electromagnetic field（电磁场） will pull particles（微粒） in the smog to the ground where they can be easily cleaned.
“It’s like when you have a balloon which has static（静电） and your hair goes toward it. Same with the smog,” says artist Daan Roosegaarde.
His studio has reached an agreement with the Beijing government to test the technology in one of tile capital’s parks.
With its skies regularly covered by dirty gray smog, Beijing this week announced a series of emergency measures to handle the problem.
Roosegaarde says an indoor model device has already proven it works and is confident that the results — with the help of a team of scientists and engineers — can be replicated(复制的) outside.
“Beijing is quite a good place because the smog in Beijing is quite low. It lies in a valley so there's not so much wind. It's a good environment to explore this kind of thing.”
“We'll be able to purify the air and the challenge is to get the top of the smog so you can see the sun again.”
Roosegaarde acknowledges that projects like this are a way of drawing attention to the problem,rather than a practical solution to Beijing's awful air pollution.
“This is not the real answer for smog. The real answer has to do with clean cars, different industry and different lifestyles.”
However, he hopes the project will make a “fundamental statement” by allowing the city's people to realize the difference between breathing clean and smog-filled air.
1.The device works by _______.
A. helping keep the particles out with more masks
B. pulling pollutants to the ground with an electromagnetic field
C. absorbing hair with a balloon with static
D. creating clean air and let it out into the sky
2. According to the passage，_______ .
A. the Beijing government has agreed to use the technology in Beijing
B. they have proven the results of the device both indoors and outdoors
C. the results of the air-cleaning device can be expectable
D. the Beijing government has never done anything to handle the air pollution
3.What does Roosegaarde really mean by saying “Beijing is quite a good place... ”?
A. The air pollution in Beijing is not quite serious.
B. The weather in Beijing is good for foreigners to live in.
C. Beijing is quite fit for using the air-cleaning device.
D. It is easy to get the top of the smog in Beijing.
4.Roosegaarde appeals to people in Beijing to ________.
A. pay attention to air pollution and solve the problem finally
B. invent more devices to clean the smog in Beijing
C. drive modern cars and try different lifestyles
D. realize how serious the pollution they're facing is

When Julio Diaz stepped off the subway after work one night, he was simply planning to go to his favorite local diner for a meal. But when a teenage boy approached him with a knife, Diaz knew the evening was about to take a more dramatic(巨大而突然的) turn.
The young man demanded Diaz’s wallet, and Diaz passed it over without objection(异议). But just as he turned to walk away, Diaz called, “Hey, wait a minute. You forgot something.”
The young man turned around, surprised.
“If you’re going to rob people for the rest of the night, you might as well take my coat to keep warm.”
The teenager looked at Diaz in disbelief, and asked why he would do such a thing. Diaz replied, “If you’re willing to risk your freedom for a few dollars, I guess you must really need the money.”He said he was heading out for dinner, and that he would be happy to take someone with him.
The young man decided to take Diaz up on his offer. As they were sitting at the table, the manager, dishwashers and waiters all stopped over to say hello to Diaz, and the young man was amazed at his popularity.
“Haven’t you been taught that you should be nice to everybody?”Diaz asked him.
“Yeah, but I didn’t think people actually behaved that way,” the teenager replied. Thanks to Diaz, he was beginning to see that kindness wasn’t so strange, after all.
When the bill came, Diaz told the teen that he’d have to get the check. After all, he still had Diaz’s wallet.
But the teenager put the wallet on the table without a moment’s thought, and Diaz treated him to dinner. Diaz also gave the would-be robber a $20 bill — in exchange for his knife. “I figure, you know, if you treat people right, you can only hope that they treat you right,” Diaz said.

Robinson Crusoe is a famous novel written by Daniel Defoe. The book tells the story of a man who is shipwrecked (遭遇海难的). He spends 28 years on an island near Venezuela. The book tells the story of everything that happens to Robinson Crusoe. He hopes someone will rescue him, but he has been there for so long on his own that he also begins to fear being rescued.
Robinson Crusoe was published in 1719. Most experts believe the story is based on the life of Alexander Selkirk, who was a Scottish sailor. On an expedition in 1704, Selkirk had an argument with his ship’s captain. Selkirk thought the ship was not safe and was about to fall apart.
When the ship stopped at a remote island to get fresh water, Selkirk got off. He tried to get the other crew members to leave with him, but nobody would. The shop then sailed away without him. Selkirk spent four years and four months on his own on the island, known as Aguas Buenas.
Selkirk was finally rescued by a ship that visited the island in 1709. The ship’s captain was grateful to Selkirk because he provided food for the crew when they arrived.
Now archaeologists think they have found the remains of Selkirk’s camp on Aguas Buenas. They found two deep holes that would have held wooden posts. The archaeologists say this is evidence that Selkirk built a shelter there. The post holes are near a fresh water stream. They are located quite high up, which would have meant that Selkirk was able to watch out for the ships coming close to the island.
The most interesting evidence, the archaeologists say, is part of a piece of equipment used by sailors to navigate (导航). Historians believe Selkirk was a navigator, so the instrument could have belonged to him.
Robinson Crusoe was published ten years after Selkirk was rescued. Most experts think Daniel Defoe heard and read stories about Selkirk, which inspired him to write the book.
1.Why did Selkirk choose to land on the remote island?
A. Because he had quarrels with the crew members.
B. Because the captain ordered him to get fresh water.
C. Because he wanted to go on an adventure there.
D. Because he thought the ship he was on was in danger.
2.We can infer from the text that the ship that visited Aguas Buenas in 1709 _______.
A. lost its way while sailing
B. lacked fresh water upon arrival
C. was being navigated by Selkirk
D. was running out of food upon arrival
3.How could Selkirk see ships that might rescue him, according to archaeologists?
A. By asking the crew members on the ships.
B. By sending messages to the ships’ captains.
C. By watching from his shelter high on the island.
D. By using a piece of equipment used to navigate.
4.The author wrote the text to _______.
A. explain the origin of Robinson Crusoe
B. promote sales to Robinson Crusoe
C. criticise Alexander Selkrik’s deeds
D. praise Daniel Defoe for his writing inspiration
