My grandmother was from a town in Michigan. Summer after summer, I enjoyed staying with my grandparents as a young child. I was from the city and loved the small town they lived in. People knew everyone, their kids, their pets, their ancestors. The bond with them continued to grow as I grew and they got older. Grandma was always using her hands for something ex?citing. She would make little sandwiches and we'd have tea parties. She'd make beautiful quilts for each one. I remember the small thimble (顶针)she would use while doing her needle work.

A few years ago, when grandma left this earth, I bid farewell to a loving grandmother. How quickly our lives can change. We had just had tea together a couple of months earlier, on her 91st birthday.

I missed her very much. On one particular birthday, when I was feeling a little low, something happened to make me feel like she was sharing that special day with me. I was arranging some colourful pillows that she had made, and suddenly I felt something inside one pillow. It was small and hard. I moved the object to a seam (接缝)that I carefully opened, and to my delight out came a tiny silver thimble ! How happy I was to find some?thing that had been a part of her. Not realizing it had fallen off her finger, I pictured her sewing it in that little pillow that I just happened to place on my bedspread that day. I carefully laid the thimble alongside the others I've col?lected over the years, where 1 could continue to see the gift God chose to re?veal to me. What a precious memory of a very special lady who somehow, I knew, was laughing in delight at sewing her thimble inside my pillow.

I made some tea, using my best china, as grandma always did* and en?joyed my tea and grandma's thimble. What a wonderful birthday that was!

A

The search for life in the universe took a step forwards last month with the opening of the Allen Telescope Array(艾伦望远镜阵歹!]) in Hat Creek, California. The telescopes were partly made possible by a gift of twenty-five million dollars from Paul Allen. The total cost of the project is already fifty million dollars.

At present, there are 42 radio telescopes working at the Hat Creek ob?servatory. The signals they receive are combined to create what is equal to a single, very large telescope. The telescope will be used to observe objects like exploding stars, black holes and other objects that are predicted but have not yet been observed. Seth Shostak of the SETI Institute says this is the first telescope whose main purpose is to search for signals from intelli?gent life in space. The SETI Institute is based in Mountain View, Califor?nia. The organization supports the search for other life forms in the uni-verse.

What makes the Allen Telescope Array unusual is that it can collect and study information from a wide area of the sky. In addition, the 42 tele?scopes can study information about several projects at the same time. That means studies of large areas of the sky can be made faster than ever before.

Some officials think the Allen Telescope Array will be completed in three more years. 350 individual radio telescopes are planned. The new abil?ities of the Allen Telescope Array will make searching for stars similar to the sun much faster.

An earlier search by SETI, Project Phoenix, studied about 800 stars to a distance of 240 light years. The project ended in 2004. With the Allen Telescope Array, astronomers hope to gather thousands of times more in?formation in the search for life beyond our planet.

1. The main purpose of the Allen Telescope Array is_____ .

  A.  to serve for the research of weather predication

B.  to prepare for the wars against life from the universe

C.  to search for signals from intelligent life in space

D.  to observe exploding stars, black holes and other objects

2. From this passage we know that_______ .

  A.  the 42 radio telescopes at Hat Creek observatory can work together

B.  the total cost of the project came from Paul Allen

C.  Hat Creek observatory can receive signals from all parts of the world

D.  Hat Creek observatory is operated by an American named Paul Allen

3. Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage?

  A.  The Allen Telescope Array takes much more room than former telescopes.

B.  The Allen Telescope Array is still being built at present in the United States.

C.  Another 42 radio telescopes will be fixed in the Allen Telescope Array.

D.  The SETI Institute is against the search for other life forms in the universe.

4. With the help of the Allen Telescope Array, ____ .

  A.  astronomers can gather more information than before from other planets

B.  humans will have more chances to live on other planets than before

C.  humans will be able to find more natural resources on other planets

D.  scientists will be able to find more natural resources from other planets

A

I took the bus to work for many years. No one knew each other; the passengers all sat there sleepily in the morning. The bus was cheerless and silent.

One of the passengers was a small gray-haired man who took the bus to the centre for senior citizens every morning. No one ever paid very much at?tention to him.

One July morning he said good morning to the driver and smiled. The driver nodded guardedly(谨慎地).The rest of us were silent.

The next day, the old man boarded with a big smile and said in a loud voice: "A very good morning to you all!" Some of us looked up, amazed, and murmured "Good morning. ,, in reply.

The following weeks, our friend was dressed in a nice old suit and tie. His thin hair had been carefully combed. He said good morning to us every day and we gradually began to nod and talk to each other.

One morning he even had a bunch of wild flowers in his hand. The driver turned around smilingly and asked : " Have you got yourself a girl?friend, Charlie?" We never got to know if his name really was "Charlie", but he nodded shyly and said yes. The other passengers whistled and clapped at him. Charlie waved the flowers before he sat down on his seat.

Every morning after that Charlie always brought flowers. Some pas?sengers also brought flowers for him. The bus became a happy place.

Then, one morning, as autumn was closing in, Charlie wasn't waiting at his usual stop. When he wasn't there the next day and the day after that. we started wondering if he was sick or―hopefully―on holiday somewhere.

When we came nearer to the centre for senior citizens, one of the pas?sengers asked the driver to wait. We all held our breaths when he went to the door.

The old gentle man was fine, but one of his close friends had died over the weekend. How silent we were the rest of the way to work.

The next Monday Charlie was waiting at the stop, stooping (弯腰)a bit more, a little bit more gray, and without a tie. Inside the bus was si?lent. Even though no one had talked about it, all of us sat there silently, our eyes filled with tears and a bunch of wild flowers in our hands.

  An expert suggested that certain criminals should be sent to prison in their own home. When the scheme was first put forward publicly,many people opposed it or had serious reserva?tions about it. One very experienced social worker opposed the scheme in a television interview. When asked to explain the basis for his opposition,he thought for a moment and finally con?fessed, "Well,I guess, because it's new. That's my only reason.”

  Advocates of the scheme pointed out that courts frequently sentenced first offenders to com?munity service of some kind rather than send them to prison. The stigma of having a criminal re?cord was an adequate deterrent, and nothing positive was achieved by sending some types of convicted people to prison.

  Some critics rushed to take extreme cases. "If a murderer is allowed free in the community like this,what is to prevent him from killing somebody else?" This argument ignored the fact that nobody proposed to allow convicted murderers to use the bracelet system. One criticism put forward was that an offender could take off his bracelet and leave it at home or give it to a friend to wear while he himself wet off to commit another crime. The reply to this was that the bracelet would be made so that the computer would immediately detect any attempts to take it off or tamper with it.

  A more serious objection to the scheme was that the harsh life of prison was intended to be
part of the deterrent to crime. A prisoner who was allowed to live at home would suffer no parti-
cular discomfort and thus not be deterred from repeating his crime. No immediate action was
taken on the proposal. It was far too revolutionary and needed to be examined very carefully.
However, the idea was not rejected. Several governments appointed experts to investigate the
scheme and make recommendations for or against it.

A.     the hard life of prison may prevent some people from repeating a crime

B.      the life at home is too comfortable for the prisoners

C.      high-technology should be deterrent to crime
