Ping Pong Door

Do you want a ping-pong table in your room? But you may not have enough space. Now this door is here to help you. It can turn into a ping-pong table when you pull it down. After the ping-pong game is over, it goes back to being a common door. It was designed by Tobias Fr?nzel from Germany. Cool idea!

Dog Watch

The dog watch is a “clock for keeping time at a rate(比率) other than human time” and was invented in 1991. With this watch, you can know time at your animal’s rate instead of your own. The watch multiplies(乘)every human time by seven, giving us “doggy time”. If a dog lives to be the age of 14, that translates into 98 human years!

Earthquake House

Big earthquakes can hit a house, possibly making the people in it get hurt. But Dysinger has found a way, the Earthquake House!

His idea is simple. Build a round house that has earthquake sensors(传感器) in it. If the sensors know the big earthquake, the house is free from its chains(链条). Don’t worry. You always remain straight in it.

Smell This

How do you know if your breath smells nice, or if it smells bad? It’s difficult to know because it’s very hard to smell the air that comes out of your own mouth. Smell This is useful for this situation. You just place the mask on your face, then breathe out through your mouth and breathe in through your nose.

One day June Green visited the family doctor, Edward Smith. Dr. Smith was an old man with a long beard.

“What’s the problem, June?” Dr. Smith asked her.

“I’m very worried about my son, teddy.” Mrs. Green said, “I can’t stop him from gambling(赌博). He spends all his money betting on horse races. And not just on horse races,he’ll bet on anything. It doesn’t matter what it is.”

“I’ve cured people of gambling before.” Dr. Smith said, “Send him to me. I’ll talk to him.”

A week later, Dr. Smith spoke to Mrs. Green on the phone. “I think I’ve cured your son.” he said. “That’s wonderful. How did you do it?”

“Well,” the doctor said, “It was very strange. While we were talking, he was looking at my beard. Suddenly he said, ‘I bet you $50 that’s a false beard.’” “Oh, no!” Mrs. Green cried. “It’s all right,” the doctor said, “I knew what to do. ‘My beard isn’t a false one,’ I told him, ‘And I can prove it.’”

“ ‘Can I pull your beard and find out?’ your son asked me.”

“I thought, this was my chance to teach him a lesson, so I said, ‘Yes, you can pull my beard.’ ”

“Well, he pulled it, and soon found out it was real.” The doctor laughed. “He had to pay me $50. That should cure his gambling.”

“Doctor,” Mrs. Green said, “You’re wrong. You haven’t cured him. You’ve made him even worse.”

“How can that be?”

“The day before he went to see you, he bet me$100 that you would ask him to pull your beard!”

My elder brother Steve gave me important lessons in values that helped me grow into an adult after my father died when I was six years old.

Steve taught me to face the results of my behavior. Once when I returned in tears from a Saturday baseball game, it was Steve who took some time to ask me what happened. When I told him that my baseball broke Mrs. Holt’s basement window, Steve encouraged me to tell her the truth. After all, I played basement in a wrong place. As I explained to Mrs. Holt, my voice shook. Of course, I had to pay for the broken window from my pocket money.

I also learned from Steve that personal property (财产) is a sacred(神圣的) thing. After I found a shiny pen in my fifth-grade classroom, I wanted to keep it. Then Steve explained that it might be important to the loser although it had little value. He also reminded me of how sad I was when I lost the small wooden dog my father made. At last, I returned the pen to my teacher, Mrs. Davids. I still remembered the smell of her perfume(香水) when she gave a hug.

Of all the lessons Steve gave me, his respect for life is the most vivid in my mind. When I was twelve, I killed an old brown bird in the garden with a gun. With excitement, I asked Steve to come from the house to take a look. I shall never forget the way he stood for a long moment and stared at the bird on the ground. Then in a dead, quiet voice, he asked, “Did it hurt you first, Mark?” I didn’t know what to answer. He continued with his eyes firm, “Even if it hurts you first, you should think a long time and then decide whether you will kill it or not.” I really felt terrible then, but that moment I will never forget.

1.How many lessons Steve gave to Mark are mentioned in the passage?

A.One. B.Two. C.Three. D.Four.
