Cycling or even walking in city areas can be a little dangerous, thanks to the fact that one is sharing the road with vehicles that are increasingly getting larger and heavier. A recent study proves that of the 1.27million people that die in road traffic crashes each year, about half are walkers, motorcyclists and cyclists. Now there may be a solution that could provide at least some help to protect this helpless group---an airbag!
If you are worried that this safety measure will involve you taking around a heavy package or worse still, wrapping yourself inside an ugly plastic bag, the bag is fitted not on the human, but on the outside of the vehicle. And, while there are several versions of the idea in the works, the one most recently unveiled by Dutch car company TNO, seems to be the most advanced and ready to go into production.
In the works since 2011, the airbag covers only the lower part of the windshield. This will provide the much needed buffer(缓冲)between the person’s head and the pane of glass he/she would otherwise meet.
The chain of events leading to an airbag cause are quite simple---A camera fitted beneath the rear-view mirror monitors the vehicle’s closeness to a walker or cyclist. Any contact with either one of them sets off the sensors in the car’s bumper and quickly blows up the airbag. In addition to that the sensors also set off the car’s automatic brake, reducing the chances if an even worse injury.
In tests conducted using a model, the success of not getting injured after being hit by a car travelling at about 40km/h was about 50-50! While not perfect, it will still result in reducing the number of deaths by a huge amount.
With TNO ready to license its technology to car makers and many more companies trying to develop similar concepts, we would not be surprised if outer airbags become a standard feature in every car pretty soon.
1.Why does the airbag cover the lower part of the windshield?
A. To protect the windshield from being destroyed.
B. To make the vehicle look beautiful.
C. To reduce the weight of walkers.
D. To prevent people’s head crashing on the glass.
2.The fourth paragraph is mainly about__________.
A. how the airbag works
B. where the airbag is fixed
C. why the airbag is safe
D. what the airbag is made up of
3.The writer thinks the airbag of TNO____________.
A. perfect
B. practical
C. expensive
D. useless
4.What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Airbags are a new standard feature in cars.
B. Airbags are much safer for drivers now.
C. Airbags are practical for walkers and cyclists.
D. Airbags are a solution to higher car accident rates.

Before discussing different kinds of emotions,let us briefly talk about how researchers measure bodily processes and action or behavior,and how this relates to what we do in our daily lives when we observe emotions in others.
Bodily processes can be directly measured by means of a polygraph.When a polygraph is skillfully used to compare how we react bodily with what we are saying,it is called a “lie detector”.Bodily processes can also be measured indirectly.This is what we do when we observe someone blushing (脸红).However,we are not always aware of what bodily processes respond to.
Measuring action or behavior is the other way researchers assess the emotions.For example,one measure of fear of snakes is how close a person will go to the snake.Another procedure is to have a person tell how afraid he is,or how he feels.In this way,researchers have developed the so－called “fear thermometer” to assess a person's fear.In our everyday living,we do very much the same thing.Only not too systematically,we react to what a person does, what he says,how he says it,and how he looks.Is he smiling? Is his voice trembling? We put all this observations together to infer what a person is feeling.
However,we do not always act as we feel.Sometimes we do things that we don't feel like doing.Sometimes we say we feel one way and then we act another.Actors,for example,successfully learn to “make believe” emotions,or learn to hide them.Thus we cannot always tell what a person is feeling by what he says or by what he does.
1.Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. We can never tell what a person is feeling.
B. The “fear thermometer” is a way to measure how fearful a person is.
C. Researchers can assess the emotions in some ways.
D. People do not always know what bodily processes they respond to.
2.The underlined word “assess” in the 3rd paragraph is close in meaning to ______.
A. make B. measure
C. discuss D. develop
3.The writer uses the example of actors in order to argue that ______.
A. it is rather easy to become successful actors
B. people do not always act as they feel
C. we can never believe what other people say
D. actors are always telling lies
4.The passage is mainly about ______.
A. the way of assessing the emotion
B. the usefulness of a “lie detector”
C. the functioning of different emotions
D. the development of the “fear thermometer”

When people today talk about a tiny house, they probably mean the trendy living space that‘s about the size of a shed (棚). But you would have to be five inches tall to live in the original tiny houses. Dollhouse(小房子)，which have been around for several centuries, don’t offer shelter to real people, but they provide a vivid（生动的） experience of life in times and places both real and imaginary.
The National Building Museum in Washington, D.C., lets visitors time travel in this tiny world through ―Small Stories: At Home in a Dollhouse,” an exhibit that opened Saturday. Visitors can see twelve dollhouses from the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, England, which contain amazing tiny furnishings. But those people who put together the exhibit also wanted visitors to know the characters inside.
“It’s 300 years of British homes told through their inhabitants (居民),” said Alice Sage, who is in charge of the London museum.
So as visitors look inside the Tate Baby House, a fancy townhouse from 1760, they can push a button to hear a young woman get a lecture from her mother on the proper way to run a home. In the Killer Cabinet house, a servant named Betsy complains about the problems of city life in the 1830s. “We’ve got the cat to keep the rats away,” she says.
That dollhouse was John Killer‘s gift to his wife and five daughters. The girls were allowed to play with the house, but they probably also learned a few lessons, Sage said.
“The kitchen of the house would have been the perfect way to teach the girls about the management of a home,” she said, noting the tiny dishes and pots.
Those who prefer a more modern look won't be disappointed. There are two rooms displaying a white dollhouse from 1935, an apartment house from the 1960s and a brightly colored 21st-century design.
The end of the exhibit shows how imaginative design sometimes works best in small spaces.
The Building Museum asked twenty-four artists, designers and architects from across the United States to each create a “dream room” from the past, present or future. Some of these unique small rooms were made using traditional furnishings, others from materials such as clay, insects, 3D-printing, and even peeps marshmallow candies!
1.Which of the following were on show Saturday?
A. A dozen dollhouses from England.
B. Some old shelters for poor people.
C. Some imaginary tiny furnishings.
D. A couple of fashionable living spaces.
2.What is the function of the characters inside the Museum?
A. Working as organizers of the exhibit.
B. Making the exhibit more attractive.
C. Providing good services for visitors.
D. Helping visitors understand dollhouses.
3.What can we learn about the Killer Cabinet house?
A. It was made up of 24 tiny rooms.
B. Its kitchen may have an educational purpose.
C. Its history dates back to the 17th century.
D. It was owned by a woman named Betsy.
4.What might be the best title of the passage?
A. An exhibit of dollhouses.
B. The history of dollhouses.
C. How to make a dollhouse.
D. Amazing tiny furniture.

Students and Technology in the Classroom
I love my blackberry—it's my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me.I also love my laptop computer,as it holds all of my writing and thoughts.Despite this love of technology,I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices（设备）and truly communicate with others.
On occasion,I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers.My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas.Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom,I have a rule—no laptop,iPads,phones,etc.When students were told my rule in advance of the class,some of them were not happy.
Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology.There's a bit of truth to that.Some students assume that I am anti-technology.There's no truth in that at all.I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate to my students.
The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversions（转变）and truly engage complex ideas.Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas.I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas.I want them to push each other to think differently and make connections between the course,the material and the class discussion.
I've been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create.Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge,they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom.
I'm not saying that I won't ever change my mind about technology use in my history class,but until I hear a really good reason for the change,I'm sticking to my plan.A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.
1.Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with _______.
A. the course material B. others' misuse of technology
C. discussion topics D. the author's class regulations
2.The underlined word "engage" in Para.4 probably means _______.
A. explore B. accept
C. change D. reject
3.According to the author,the use of technology in the classroom may_______.
A. keep students from doing independent thinking
B. encourage students to have in-depth conversations
C. help students to better understand complex themes
D. affect students' concentration on course evaluation
4.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author _______ .
A. is quite stubborn
B. will give up teaching history
C. will change his teaching plan soon
D. values technology-free dialogues in his class
