【题目】When Josephine Cooper was growing up,she learned the importance of charity from her parents.Although they made a modest living for their family of 10,they insisted on sharing with those less fortunate.

Half a century later,Mrs Cooper became a beloved volunteer at the San Diego Food Bank,where she devoted herself to helping others.She organized and ran a distribution center from a church,helping it become the organization’s largest emergency food distribution center in San Diego.She was one of 25 outstanding senior volunteers in the nation selected and invited to Washington D.C.to receive the award.

“She was the main person who helped us make that program grow,” said Mike Doody,former director of the Food Bank.“She had a way of getting people to work together and to work hard.She was determined and stubborn,but in a good way.She had a good heart.” People knew her as “Grandma” because of her selflessness and her devotion to helping hungry children and families.“She reminded people of their Grandma.” Doody said.

As a widow with a young child in 1979,Mrs.Cooper was helped through a difficult financial time when the Food Bank provided her with groceries.“She dedicated her life to giving back,” said her daughter,Monica Cooper.It wasn’t unusual for a local church to call Mrs Cooper to ask her to aid a needy family.“She would give people food out of her cupboard.Sometimes we would cook a meal for a family living out of their car,” Cooper said.

Although Mrs Cooper was honored to receive the national award for her volunteer work,she said being able to help others was her reward.She died of liver disease and kidney failure,aged 93.

【题目】A team of scientists from University of Freiburg in Germany are developing a shoe with a sensor to automatically tie its laces(鞋带)that could be taken off when users click their heels together.

Its been 26 years since we saw them magically tightening Marty McFlys Nike boots in the film Back to The Future.

Now,self-tying shoelaces could actually become a reality this year,proving right one of the films fantastical predictions for what 2015 would be like.

Engineers have designed a shoe that can automatically lace up,adjusting itself to the shape of your foot.

Simply slip the controller on and pressure sensors will tell the ‘smart shoe’ when your foot is in position,triggering(触发)a tiny motor in the heel that pulls the laces tight.

When you want to take off the shoes,you click your heels together twice and the motor will release a spring(弹簧)in the shoes tongue,which loosens the laces enough for you to slip them off.

And the invention doesn’t even need to be plugged in to charge or have its battery replaced because it runs on power generated by the swing of your foot as you walk.

Engineer K1evis Ylli,of the Institute for Micromachining and Information Technology in southern Gemany,said the shoes could help a variety of different people.

One focus is that it could be used in shoes for elderly people who have mobility problems,he said.But it could also work for children,or as a lifestyle product.

The design,which is still in a prototype(雏形)stage,cleverly gets the energy of the foots swing when opposing magnets in each shoe move past each other. It then uses that power to charge a battery.An hour of walking is enough to tighten the laces once,and it requires no energy to undo the shoes because that relies on the spring alone.

【1】Which of the following can be the best title of the text?

A.A fantastical prediction

B.A great invention in Germany

C.A shoe with self-tying laces

D.A popular lifestyle product

【2】What can we learn about the shoes?

A.They can automatically take off.

B.They can adjust themselves to your foot.

C.They need to be charged once.

D.They have been in design for 26 years.

【3】From the last paragraph we can know ____________.

A.the shoes have been put into use

B.the shoes need power to take off

C.the shoes promise to be popular

D.how the shoes work to produce energy

【题目】What is your favorite color ? Do you like yellow, orange,red?【1】.Do you prefer greys and blues?Then you are probably quiet,shy,and you would rather follow than lead.You tend to be Pessimist.At least,this is what psychologists tell us,and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference,as well as the effect that colors have on human beings.【2】If you happen to love brown,you did so,as soon as you opened your eyes,or at least as soon as you could see clearly.

【3】.A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one;and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day.【4】.A black bridge over the Thames River, near London,used to be the scene of more suicides(自杀) than any other bridge in the area—until it was repainted green.The number of suicide attempts immediately fen sharply.Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.

【5】.It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.
