More Than a Ride to School

The National Education Association claims "The school bus is a mirror Of the community."

They further add that, unfortunately, what appears on the exterior(外部)does not always reflect the reality of a chosen community. They are right, and sometimes it reflects more! Just ask Liesl Denson. Riding the school bus has been more than a ride to school for Liesl.

Bruce Hardy, school bus driver for Althouse Bus Company has been Liesl"s bus driver since kindergarten. Last year when Liesl"s family moved to Parkesburg, knowing her bus went by her new residence, she requested to ride the same bus.

This year Liesl is a senior and will enjoy her last year tiding the bus. She says, "It"s been a great tide so far! My bus driver is so cool and has always been a good friend and a good listener.

Sometimes when you"re a child, adults do not think that what you have to say is important. Mr.

Hardy always listens to what you have to say and makes you feel important." Her friends Ashley Batista and Amanda Wolfc agree.

Brace Hardy has been making Octorara students feel special since 1975. This year he will celebrate 30 years working for Althouse Bus Transportation. Company President Larry Althouse acknowledges Bruce Hardy"s outstanding record. "You do not come by employees like Bruce these days: he has never missed a day of work and has a perfect driving record. Recognized in 2000 by the Pennsylvania School Bus Association for driving 350,000 accident free miles, Hardy"s reputation is made further evident through the relationships he has made with the students that ride

his bus. "

Althouse further added. "Althouse Bus Transportation was established 70 years ago and has been providing quality transportation ever since my grandfather started the business with one bus.

Althouse Bus Transportation is delighted to have the opportunity to bring distinctive and safe service to our local school and community and looks forward to continuing to provide quality service for many more years to come."

Three generations of business is not all the company has enjoyed. Thanks to divers like Bruce Hardy, they have been building relationships through generations. Liesl"s mother Carol also enjoys fond memories of riding Bruce Hardy"s bus to the Octorara School District.

The word "mirror"in the first line could be best replaced by__________. 查看材料

A."vehicle"

B."device"

C."need"

D."reflection"

根据以下材料,回答题

Car Crime

1、 A million motorists leave their cars filled up with petrol and with the keys in the ignition every day.The cars are sitting in petrol stations while drivers pay for their fuel.The Automobile Association(AA)has discovered that cars are left unattended for an average three minutes and sometimes longer as drivers buy drinks,sweets,cigarettes and other consumer items.With payment of credit cards becoming more and more common,it is not unusual for a driver to be out of his car for as long as six minutes,providing the car theft with a golden opportunity.

2、 For more than ten years there has been a big rise in car crime than in most other types of crimes. An average of more than two cars a minute are broken into or stolen in the UK. Car crime accounts for almost a third of all reported offenses with no signs that the trend is slowing down.

3、 Although there are highly professional criminals involved in car theft, almost 90 percent of car theft is committed by the opportunists. Amateur thieves are aided by our own carelessness. The AA recommends locking up whenever you leave the car and for however short a period. A partially open sunroof or window is a further come-on to thieves.

4、 There are many other traps to avoid. The AA has found little awareness among drivers about safe parking. Most motorists questioned made no efforts to avoid parking in quiet spots-just the places thieves" love. The AA advises,drives to park in places with people around-thieves don"t like audiences.

Paragraph 1 查看材料

A.Safe parking

B.Increase in car theft

根据以下材料,回答题Factors to Influence the Life SpanBeing sociable looks like a good way

根据以下材料,回答题

Factors to Influence the Life Span

Being sociable looks like a good way to add years to your life. Relationships with family, friends,neighbours, even pets, will all do the trick, but the biggest longevity (长寿) boost seems to come from marriage or an equivalent relationship. The effect was first noted in 1858 by William Farr, who wrote that widows and widowers (鳏夫) were at a much higher risk of dying than their married peers. Studies since then suggest that marriage could add as much as seven years to a man" s life and two to a woman"s.

The effect holds for all causes of death, whether illness, accident or self-harm.

Even if the odds are stacked against you, marriage can more than compensate. Linda Waite of the University of Chicago has found that a married older man with heart disease can expect to live nearly four years longer than an unmarried man with a healthy heart. Likewise, a married man who smokes more than a pack a day is likely to live as long as a divorced man who doesn"t smoke.

There"s aflip side, however, as partners are more likely to become ill or die in the couple of years following their spouse"s death, and caring for a spouse with mental disorder can leave you with some of the same severe problems. Even so, the odds favour marriage. In a 30-year study of more than 10,000 people, Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School describes how all kinds of social networks have similar effects.

So how does it work? The effects are complex, affected by socio-economic factors,health-service provision, emotional support and other more physiological (生理的 ) mechanisms.

For example, social contact can boost development of the brain and immune system, leading to better health and less chance of depression later in life. People in supportive relationships may handle stress better. Then there are the psychological benefits of a supportive partner.

A life partner, children and good friends are all recommended if you aim to live to 100. The ultimate social network is still being mapped out, but Christakis says: "People are interconnected,so their health is interconnected."

William Farr‘s study and other studies show that 查看材料

A.social life provides an effective cure for illness.

B.being sociable helps improve one"s quality of life.

C.women benefit more than men from marriage.

D.marriage contributes a great deal to longevity.

根据以下材料回答题

Thousands of years ago man used handy rocks for his surgical operations.Later he used sharpbones or horns, metal knives and more recently, rubber and plastic.In the 1960s a new tool wasdeveloped, one which was, first of all, to be of great practical use to the armed forces and indus-try, but which was also to revolutionize the art and science of surgery.

The tool is the laser and it is being used by more and more surgeons all over the world.As weall know, light is hot, and any source of light will give warmth.But light is usually spread outover a wide area.The light in a laser beam, however, is concentrated.This means that a light withno more power than that produced by an ordinary electric light bulb becomes intensely strong as itis concentrated to a pinpoint-sized beam.

Experiments with these pinpoint beams showed researchers that different energy sources pro-duce beams that have a particular effect on certain living cells.It is now possible for eye surgeonsto operate on the back of human eye without harming the front of the eye, simply by passing a laserbeam right through the eye-ball.Operations which once left patients exhausted and in need of longperiod of recovery time now leave them feeling relaxed and comfortable.

The rapid development of laser techniques in the past ten years has made it clear that the futureis likely to be very exciting.Perhaps some cancers will be treated with laser in a way that makessurgery not only safer but also more effective.

Which of the following would be appropriate to describe the instruments of surgical opera-tions up until 1960s? 查看材料

A.Traditional.

B.Complicated.

C.Remarkable.

D.Revolutionary.

根据以下材料,回答题

New Understanding of Natural Silk"s Mysteries

Natural silk, as we all know, has a strength that manmade materials have long struggled to match. In a discovery that sounds more like an ancient Chinese proverb than a materials science breakthrough, MIT researchers have discovered that silk gets its strength from its weakness. Or,more specifically, its many weaknesses. Silk gets its extraordinary durability and ductility from an unusual arrangement of hydrogen bonds that are inherently very weak but that work together to create a strong, flexible structure.

Most materials- especially the ones we engineer for strength- get their toughness from brittleness. As such, natural silks like those produced by spiders have long fascinated both biologists and engineers because of their light weight, ductility and high strength (pound for pound, silk is stronger than steel and far less brittle). But on its face, it doesn"t seem that silks should be as strong as they are; molecularly, they are held together by hydrogen bonds, which are far weaker than the covalent bonds found in other molecules.

To get a better understanding of how silk manages to produce such strength through such weak bonds, the MIT team created a set of computer models that allowed them to observe the way silk behaves at the atomic level. They found that the arrangement of the tiny silk nanocrystals is such that the hydrogen bonds are able to work cooperatively, reinforcing one another against extemal forces and failing slowly when they do fail, so as not so allow a sudden fracture to spread across a silk structure.

The result is natural silks that can stretch and bend while retaining a high degree of strength.

But while that"s all well and good for spiders, bees and the like, this understandingof silk geometry could lead to new materials that are stronger and more ductile than those we can currently manufacture. Our best and strongest materials are generally expensive and difficult to produce (requiring high temperature treatments or energy-intensive processes).

By looking to silk as a model, researchers could potentially devise new manufacturing methods that rely on inexpensive materials and weak bonds to create less rigid, more forgiving materials that are nonetheless stronger than anything currently on offer. And if you thought you were going to get out of this materials science story without hearing about carbon nanotubes, think again. The MIT team is already in the lab looking into ways of synthesizing silk-like structures out of materials that are stronger than natural silk—— like carbon nanotubes. Super-silks are on the horizon.

MIT researchers carry out the study to illustrate an ancient Chinese proverb. 查看材料

根据以下材料,回答题An Essential Scientific ProcessAll life on the earth depends upon green

根据以下材料,回答题

An Essential Scientific Process

All life on the earth depends upon green plants. Using sunlight, the plants produce their own food. Then animals feed upon the plants. They take in the nutrients the plants have made and stored.

But that"s not all. Sunlight also helps a plant produce oxygen. Some of the oxygen is used by the plant, but a plant usually produces more oxygen than it uses. The excess oxygen is necessary for animals and other organisms to live.

The process of changing light into food and oxygen is called photosynthesis. Besides light energy from the sun, plants also use water and carbon dioxide. The water gets to the plant through its roots. The carbon dioxide enters the leaves through tiny openings called stomata. The carbon dioxide travels to chloroplasts (叶绿题) , special cells in the bodies of green plants. This is where photosynthesis (光合作用 ) takes place. Chloroplasts contain the chlorophylls (叶绿素) that give plants their green color. The chlorophylls are the molecules that trap light energy. The trapped light energy changes water and carbon dioxide to produce oxygen and a simple sugar called glucose.

Carbon dioxide and oxygen move into and out of the stomata. Water vapor also moves out of the stomata. More than 90 percent of water a plant takes in through its roots escapes through the stomata. During the daytime, the stomata of most plants are open. This allows carbon dioxide to enter the leaves for photosynthesis. As night falls, carbon dioxide is not needed. The stomata of most plants close. Water loss stops.

If photosynthesis ceased, there would be little food or other organic matter on the earth. Most organisms would disappear. The earth"s atmosphere would no longer contain oxygen. Photosynthesis is essential for life on our planet.

In the first paragraph, the word "excess" means___________ . 查看材料

A.heavy

B.extra

C.green

D.liquid
