    Just listen
    I suspect that the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our  36  , and especially if it’s given from the 37 . When people are talking, there’s no need to do anything but 38 them. Just take them  39 . Listen to what they’re saying. Care about it. Most times caring about it is even more important than  40 it.
    One of my patients told me that when she 41  to tell her story, people often  42  to tell her that they had once had something just like what happened to her. Subtly, her pain became a story about themselves.   43  she stopped talking to most people. It was just too 44 . We connect through listening. When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand, we move the 45  of attention to ourselves. But when we listen, they know we care.
    I have ever learned to 46  to someone crying by just listening. In the old days I used to reach for the tissues(纸巾)  47 I realized that passing a person a tissue may be just another way to shut them  48 , to take them out of their  49 of sadness and pain. Now I just listen. When they have cried all they need to cry, they find me there 50  them.
    This 51  thing has not been that easy to learn. It certainly went against everything I had been  52  since I was very young at school. I thought people listened only because they were too  53 to speak or did not know the answer. A loving silence often has far more 54  to connect than the most well-intentioned(善意的) 55 .

    One of the world's richest men has taken a close interest in one of man’s most basic functions: visiting the toilet．Bill Gates’s charitable organization, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, is looking for inventors to design the loo of the future, which, they hope, would improve sanitation for millions of people around the world．
    So, what's wrong with the traditional flush toilet? Firstly, it wastes a huge amount of potential drinking water．Secondly, they are more likely to cause pollution．This is a real problem in many areas of the developing world, where, according to United Nations estimates, unsafe sanitation causes half of all hospitalizations．Younger people are particularly at risk．Illnesses which cause diarrhea are responsible for the deaths of about 1.5 million children a year．Finally, standard lavatories simply aren’t practical in remote areas．
    The challenge set by Bill Gates was to come up with a latrine which works without running water, electricity or aseptic tank(化粪池)．It also needed to operate for less than 5 cents．28 designs were displayed at the recent Reinvent the Toilet Fair in Seattle, USA．Among them was one which turned human waste into electricity using microwaves, another which converted human waste into charcoal, and yet another which used urine for flushing．
    But the winner was a solar-powered design which generated hydrogen gas and electricity.The team from the California Institute of Technology（CIT）picked up a prize of $ 100,000.
    But clearly Bill Gates doesn’t feel he’s flushing money down the toilet．After the Seattle event he said, “We, couldn’t be happier with the response we’ve gotten,” Gates has even pledged $370m more to the future toilet project．They hope to field test more prototypes over the next three years．
    小题1:Why is Bill Gates paying people to invent new toilets?
    A．Because he wants to test people’s sense of creativity．
    B．Because he wants to improve sanitation for many people．
    C．Because he thinks the traditional ones are out of fashion．
    D．Because he can’t design this kind of things himself．
    小题2:Which of the following is NOT a problem with the traditional flush toilet?
    A．They waste too much water．
    B．They might cause diseases．
    C．They are not always practical．
    D．They are too complicated to use.
    小题3:The underlined word “latrine” in the third paragraph might have similar meanings to the word “__ ”n the text．
    A．LooB．sanitationC．diarrheaD．prototype
    小题4:The team from CIT won the prize because their design        .
    A．can change human waste into electricity
    B．can turn human waste into charcoal
    C．can produce power with solar energy
    D．can use urine for flushing
    小题5:If someone “flush money down the toilet”, they are       .
    A．showing off their wealth
    B．being angry with their work onditions
    C．wasting money for nothing
    D．expressing their great determination

    Reading to dogs is an unusual way to help children improve their literacy skills （读写能力）With their shining brown eyes, wagging tails, and unconditional love, dogs can provide the nonjudgmental listeners needed for a beginning reader to gain confidence （自信心） , according to Intermountain Therapy Animals (ITA) in Salt Lake City. The group says it is the first program in the country to use dogs to help develop literacy in children, with the introduction of Reading Education Assistance Dogs (READ).
    The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea. “Literacy specialists admit that children who read below the level of their fellow pupils are often afraid of reading aloud in a group, often have lower self-respect, and regard reading as a headache,” said Lisa Myron, manager of the children’s department.
    Last November the two groups started “Dog Day Afternoon” in the children’s department of the main library. About 25 children attended each of the four Saturday-afternoon classes, reading for half an hour. Those who attended three of the four classes received a “pawgraphed” book at the last class.
    The program was so successful that the library plans to repeat it in April, according to Dana Thumpowsky, public relations manager.
    小题1:What is mainly discussed in the text?
    A．Children’s reading difficulties.B．Advantages of raising dogs.
    C．Service in a public library.D．A special reading program.
    小题2:Specialists use dogs to listen to children reading because they think _______.
    A．dogs are young children’s best friends
    B．children can play with dogs while reading
    C．dogs can provide encouragement for shy children
    D．children and dogs understand each other
    小题3:By saying “The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea”, the writer means the library_______.
    A．uses dogs to attract children
    B．accepts the idea put forward by ITA
    C．has opened a children's department
    D．has decided to train some dogs
    小题4:A “pawgraphed” book is most probably _______.
    A．a book used in Saturday classesB．a book written by the children
    C．a prize for the childrenD．a gift from parent

    Artistic Skates
    Artistic roller skates are made up of a leather boot, very strong sole plate, and a jump bar that adds extra force. The boot sits a few inches above the ankle, providing more support for the foot.
    Jam Skates
    Jam skates are the most different roller skates because of their special low-cut design and lack of toe stop. That’s right: there is no brake. But the original jam skate design was different, resembling an artistic skate. Jam skating is more about personal expression rather than speed skating. The free-flowing movements of jam skating have been given many names. But regardless of its name, jam skating has always been about expression and passion.
    Speed Skates
    A speed skate resembles a shoe. The cut of the boot is lower. Speed skates typically offer lightweight plates to reduce exhaustion for skating long distances. Jam skates have preferred speed skates because they offer a similar design and freedom of movement. The most obvious difference is that a speed skate features a toe stop, unlike a jam skate that uses a toe plug.
    Rhythm Skates
    Rhythm skates are similar to jam skates. The difference between them lies in the boot design. In fact, the boot design looks very similar to an artistic skate, essentially providing you with the ankle support benefits of an artistic skate, but the freedom of movement of a jam skate. If you want a skate that allows you to move to the beat, which added ankle support, the rhythm skate is the ideal choice.
    小题1:Which of the following is NOT a feature of jam skates?
    A．They have no brake
    B．They lack a toe stop
    C．They have no toe plug.
    D．They have a unique, low-cut design.
    小题2:If you want to skate to music, which of the following is the best choice?
    A．Rhythm skates B．Jam skates C．Speed skates D．Artistic skates
    小题3:Speed skates are popular with jam skates because _____.
    A．they have a high boot cut
    B．they allow free-flowing movement.
    C．they are able to stabilize the foot
    D．they can help jam skates reduce tiredness.
    小题4:What is a common feature of rhythm and jam skates?
    A．They both offer some support for the ankles.
    B．They both have a similar boot design.
    C．They are both suitable for free-flowing movement.
    D．They are both about personal expression and passion.
    小题5:What can you learn from the passage about jam skates?
    A．The original jam skate design has hardly changed.
    B．The original jam skate design was similar to an artistic skate.
    C．Jam skates have gradually become a type of speed skate.
    D．Jam skating has many names because it’s about expression and passion.

    Do you want to live another 100 years or more? Some experts say that scientific progress will one day help humans to last tens of years longer than what is now seen as the natural limit（限制）of the human life span（寿命）.
    “ I think we are knocking at the door of immortality (永生),” said Michael Zey, a Montclair State University business professor and author of two books on the future. “ I think by 2075 we will see it and that’s a conservative estimate（保守估计）.”
    At the conference in San Francisco, Donald Louria, a professor at New Jersey Medical School in Newark said progress in using genes as well as nanotechnology（纳米技术）makes it likely that humans will live in the future beyond what has been possible in the past. “ There is a great push so that people can live from 120 to 180 years,” he said. “ Some have suggested that there is no limit and that people could live to 200 or 300 or 500 years.”
    However, many scientists who research into aging are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to last about 120 years. Even with healthier lifestyles and less disease, they say failure of the brain and organs will finally lead all humans to death.
    Scientists also disagree on what kind of life the super aged might live. “It remains to be seen whether you could be healthy enough to have good quality of life when you pass 120.” said Leonard Poon, director of the University of Georgia Gerontology Center. “ At present people who could get to that point are not in good health at all.”
    小题1:By saying “ we are knocking at the door immortality”, Michael Zey means_____.
    A．they believe that there is no limit of living
    B．they are sure to find the truth about long living
    C．they have got some ideas about long living
    D．they are able to make people live beyond the present life span
    小题2:Donald Louria’s attitude toward long living is that_____.
    A．people can live from 120 to 180
    B．it is still doubtful how long humans can live
    C．the human body is designed to last about 120 years
    D．it is possible for humans to live longer in the future
    小题3:The underlined “ it” (Para. 4) refers to_____.  
    A．a great push
    B．the idea of living beyond the present life span
    C．the idea of living from 200 to 300
    D．the conservative estimate
    小题4:What would be the best title for this text?
    A．Living longer or not
    B．Science, technology and long living
    C．No limit for human life
    D．Healthy lifestyle and long living

    Without plant, people could not live. We eat plants. We breathe the oxygen（氧气）that plants produce. And we need plants for another reason: we need them for their beauty.
    Imagine a world with no plants. Imagine no flowers with their sweet smells, their beautiful colors and their lovely shapes. Imagine when the wind blows, not being able to hear the leaves in the trees or watch the branches sway（摇摆）from side to side.
    Everywhere people need the beauty of plants. That is why we have parks full of trees and flowers. That is why people always try to design houses with room for some grass and a garden.
    Do you talk to your plants? Do you give them love and attention?
    Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird, writers of a book called THE SECRET LIFE OF PLANTS, tell of an experiment in which two seeds were planted in different places.
