Zheng He (1371-1435), or Cheng Ho, is arguably（可论证地） China’s most famous navigator. Starting from the beginning of the 15th Century, he traveled to the West seven times. In 28 years, he traveled more than 50,000km and visited over 30 countries, including Singapore. Zheng He died in the tenth year of the reign（统治） of the Ming emperor Xuande (1435) and was buried in the southern suburbs of Bull’s Head Hill (Niushou) in Nanjing.
In 1985, during the 580th anniversary（周年纪念） of Zheng He’s voyage, his tomb（坟墓） was rebuilt. The new tomb was built on the site of the original tomb in Nanjing and reconstructed according to the customs of Islamic teachings, as Zheng He was a Muslim.
At the entrance to the tomb is a Ming-style building, which was a memorial hall. Inside are paintings of the man himself and his navigation maps. To get to the tomb, there are newly laid stone platforms and steps. The stairway consists of 28 stone steps that are divided into four sections with each section having seven steps. This represents Zheng He’s seven journeys to the West. The Arabic words which mean “Allah (God) is great” are written on top of the tomb.
Zheng He built many wooden ships, some of which are the largest in history, in Nanjing. Three of the shipyards still exist today.

One evening in February 2007 . a student named Paula Ceely brought her car to a stop on a remote in Wales . She got out to open a metal gate that blocked her path . That's when she heard the whistle sounded by the driver of a train.Her Renault Clio parked across a railway line. Second later,she watched the train drag her car almost a kilometre down the railway tracks.
Ceely's near miss made the news because she blamed it on her GPS device(导航仪).She had never driven the route before .It was dark and raining heavily . Ceely was relying on her GPS. But it made no mention of the crossing ."I put my complete trust in the device and it led me right into the path of a speeding train ,"she told the BBC.
W ho is to blame here ? Rick Stevenson ,who tells Ceely's story in his book When Machines Fail US, finger at the limitations of technology. We put our faith in digital devices, he says,
but our digital helpers are too often not up to the job. They are filled with small problems. And it’s not just GPS devices: Stevenson takes us on a tour of digital disasters involving everything from mobile phones to wireless key boards.
The problem with his argument in the book is that it’s not clear why he only focuses digital technology,while there may be a number of other possible causes. A map-maker might have left the crossing off a paper map. Maybe we should blame Ceely for not paying attention. perhaps the railway authorities are at fault for poor signaling system. Or maybe someone has studied the relative dangers and worked out that there really is something specific wrong with the CPS equipment. But Stevenson doesn’t say.
It’s a problem that runs through the book. In a section on cars, Stevenson gives an accout of the advanced techniques that criminals use to defeat computer-based locking systems for cars. He offers two independent sets of figures on car theft; both show a small rise in some parts of the country. He 
says that once once again not all new locks have proved reliable. Perhaps, but maybe it’s also due to the shortage of policemen on the streets. Or changing social circumstances. Or some combination of these factors .
The game between humans and their smart devices is complex. It is shaped by economics and psychology and the cultures we live in. Somewhere in the mix of those forces there may be way a wiser use of technology.
If there is such a way, it should involve more than just an awareness of the shortcomings of our machines. After all, we have lived with them for thousands of years. They have probably been fooling us for just as long .

“Before you fall in love, you'd better get a job”
As told by Lee Joon-ho, 20, a senior in law at Seoul National University
Korean TV dramas have shown a lot of rebellious(反叛的) youth, but in fact most students still live a traditional life.
Confucianism has a great influence on us. For instance, Confucius said that we should be dutiful to our parents and value the family. Thus we prefer a school that's close to home so we can go back every day.
Also as a result of Confucianism, teachers enjoy a high status in Korea. The other day, my professor was flying to Vienna on a business trip. Instead of waiting for hours in the queue, he was told to check in first and didn't have any problem with overweight luggage.
When it comes to important decision-making, such as choosing a university, a job, and a wife, we listen to our parents' suggestions. Most parents seem liberal in study decisions, but they take a firmer attitude towards their children's love and marriage choices. Often, a man has to have his own business or a solid career before he's allowed to pursue romance.
Male chauvinism is popular among our parents' generation, since they had to support the whole family through hard work. We need to shoulder the same responsibility, but we've also learned to respect women, as they're doing outstanding work in lots of areas. But to be honest, my friends and I still prefer a traditional woman as a girlfriend and future wife. We want her to be elegant and thoughtful in taking care of a family.
Our sense of tradition is also reflected in our buying habits. In my house, you see only Korean appliances. Although European cell phones are available in ROK, we favor LG and Samsung, which are suited more to our tastes and widely promoted in TV dramas and films.
1.The professor was told to check in first because _________.
A. His luggage was overweight.
B. He had waited for hours.
C. People respect teachers in Korea.
D. He was on a business trip.
2.Which of the statements is true according to the passage?
A. Generally speaking, men need to support the whole family in Korea.
B. Korean women have no freedom in choosing husbands.
C. Male chauvinism is popular among young people now.
D. Young people are out of control of their parents.
3.From the last paragraph we can learn that _________.
A. You can not find European cell phones in Korea.
B. You can see advertisements for LG and Samsung in Korean TV dramas and films.
C. Korean cell phones are traditional.
D. The Korean people have a sense of tradition.
4.What is the passage mainly about?
A. Korean youth are rebellious.
B. Korean youth will not love anyone until they find a job.
C. Most Korea students live a traditional life.
D. Confucius has a great influence on the Korean people.

Some houses are designed to be smart. Others have smart designs. An example of the second type of house won an Award of Excellence from the American Institutes of Architects.
|
At first sight, the house on Sullvan’s Island looks anything but hurricane-proof. Its redwood shell makes it resemble “a large party lantern” at night, according to one observer. But looks can be cheating. The house’s wooden frame is reinforced with long steel bars to give it extra strength.
To further protect the house from hurricane damage, Huff raised it 2.7 meters off the ground on timber pilings – long, slender columns of wood anchored deep in the sand. Pilings might appear insecure, but they are strong enough to support the weight of the house. They also elevate the house above storm attacks. The pilings allow the waves to run under the house instead of running into it. “These swells of water come on shore at tremendous speeds and cause most of the damage done to beach-front buildings,” said Huff.
Huff designed the timber pilings to be partly masked by the house’s ground-to-roof shell. “The shell masks the pilings so that the house doesn’t look like it’s standing with its pant legs pulled up,” said Huff. In the event of a storm surge, the shell should break apart and let the waves rush under the house, the architect explained.
1.After the tragedy caused by Hurricane Hugo, new ho uses built along South Carolina’s shore line are required .
A．to be easily reinforced B．to look smarter in design
C．to meet stricter building standards D．to be designed in the shape of cubes
2.The award-winning beach house is quite strong because .
A．it is strengthened by steel bars B．it is made of redwood
C．it is in the shape of a shell D．it is built with stone and concrete
3.Huff raised the house 2.7 meters off the ground on timber pilings in order to .
A．withstand peak winds of about 200 km/hr
B．strike stronger pilings keep into the sand
C．break huge sea waves into smaller ones
D．prevent water from rushing into the house
4.The main function of the shell is .
A．to strengthen the pilings of the house
B．to give the house a better appearance
C．to protect the wooden frame of the house
D．to slow down the speed of the swelling water

depressed mother, 17 year-old Ree Dolly keeps her family together in a dirt
poor rural area. She's taken backwards however when the local Sheriff（县治安官） tells her that her father put up
their house for his bail（保释）and unless he shows up for
his trial in a week's time, they will lose it all. She knows her father is
involved in the local drug trade and manufactures crystal meth but anywhere she
goes the message is the same: stay out of it and stop poking your nose in other
people's business. She refuses to listen, even after her father's brother,

C. Dom Cobb is a skilled thief, the absolute
best in the dangerous art of extraction, stealing valuable secrets from deep
within the subconscious during the dream state, when the mind is at its most
vulnerable. Cobb's rare ability has made him a coveted（妄想的） player in this deceitful new
world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international
fugitive. Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption（赎）. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can
accomplish the impossible-inception. Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his
team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an
idea but to plant one. But no amount of careful planning or expertise can
prepare the team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every
move...
D. Reflecting on her earlier life, she
observes that for most of it she was either with a man or in the process of
leaving one, and so in the first stages of her journey she experiments with
singleness. Not with solitude, exactly, since Liz is naturally sociable and
acquires friends easily. Back home in New York she has Delia, and in Rome a
Swedish woman named Sofi introduces her to an amicable（心平气和）group of Italians, including a
fellow whose last name is Spaghetti. While he is seen mainly in group shots,
his namesake food is filmed in loving close-ups. In keeping with the theme of
self-examination, Liz’s trip is confined to countries that begin with the letter
“I”. From the ruins of Italy, to an ashram in India, and then to
Indonesia......

Stonehill, a rebellious thinker in the field of Pompe with radical ideas on
enzyme therapy. Promising money he doesn't necessarily have, Crowley talks
Stonehill into a business venture, pushing the irascible（暴躁的） scientist into research while he worries about the cash flow. With
the clock ticking, Stonehill presents challenging theories, irritating the
interest of pharmaceutical giants, who demand results practically overnight.
With Stonehill feeling the heat during this demoralizing process, Crowley
fights to maintain the face of Pompe, to keep the cure from becoming just
another compromised drug on the market.

the CIA and is now retiring so he can settle down and marry his girlfriend,

hides his super-spy abilities. Gillian loves that he's normal and reliable, not
like her ex-husband, who ran off and left her with three kids. So Gillian has
to go out of town because her father's in the hospital, and Bob volunteers to
babysit so he can bond with the children. Meanwhile, a Russian terrorist named
Poldark has escaped CIA custody and is looking for a top-secret code that young
Ian accidentally downloaded from Bob's computer, which means Poldark and his
goons are going to show up any minute now and kill them all. Bob must save the
