7.Carrying everything they need on their backs,three friends from England are setting out  to run 39 marathons across Eastern Europe.
Tom,Rob and Guy ran the Marathon des Sables last year and were looking for another  challenge.Where do you go from there?"asks Tom.Then someone said,"Run 1,000 miles".And the idea was born.

 The run-the equivalent of 39 marathons in 30 days-will take in nine different countries and pass through some of Eastern Europe's most remote terrain(地形),without the help  of support vehicles or medical aid.The three men will carry everything they need,sleeping where they can and finding food and water along the way.
"What really inspires us is the idea that people will join us at various points along the way,Forrest Gump-style,"says Tom.If that sounds like your idea of fun,it's not too late to sign up on their website and join them for a spot of extreme fundraising over the next month.The aim is to arrive in Dubrovnik on 3 May.
Only days before they set off,I asked Tom what his biggest concern was at this late Stage.‘‘The cold,"he said."We hadn't imagined Europe would be this cold in April.Some nights the plan is to sleep outside in the camping bags.I'm terrified about the weather."

15.Writing a book review is not like writing a fiction,where you have your freedom to express any type of literary mood.Here,you are limited within the scope,which is related only to the book or the literature and nothing else.To write a proper literary review,you should follow some important dos and don'ts,which are discussed here.
Top 3dos
Select a literature of your choice and read it thoroughly.If required,you should read it multiple times,before you really frame up the literary review in your mind.While reading,try to assimilate the thoughts and philosophy of the author behind the book and also to analyze all the characters and events described in the literary piece.Start to pen down your literary analysis only when you have a complete understanding of the book,and not before that.
Prepare your write-up based on your understanding of the book.Since you are reviewing the book,your opinion plays an important role here.If you prefer any particular character or any particular instance from the book,then expose that character or the situation in your review,to give it more importance.Also determine your preference with supporting logic.Ultimately it is your understanding of the book,and it can differ from others'viewpoint.But you should stick to your opinion.
Follow a proper format to construct your book review.It should have a proper introduction and a conclusion,other than the usual subject body.Distribute the subject body in chapters and paragraphs,to give a nice,structured look.Also,add a list of reference material at the end of the book.A structured material always carries a good impression and also,it helps the reader to go through the article at ease.
Top 3don'ts
Book reviews are not exactly meant for writing a summary on the books.The objective of writing a book review is to arouse the curiosity in the mind of the readers.If someone mentions everything in the summary then the actual intention is lost.
As mentioned earlier,one should not cross your limit to write a literary review.Do not bring up unnecessary topics to increase the length of the write-up,which is not at all related to the book.The readers want to learn about the book and not something irrelevant.Also,a smart and crisp writing helps to create a positive impression.
You can go through reference books or articles on your subject,before you start preparing your article.But that should be completely with the intention of getting help in your understanding of the book.These reference items will help to strengthen your grip on the subject.But,you should never copy a single line of text from any other document or write-up.Plagiarism(剽窃),in any form,is a punishable offence by law.It will also destroy your reputation and close all the future avenues in this field.
If you can follow the above dos and don'ts religiously to write a book review,then it is going to be more original and interesting.

A.stimulate B.fertilize C.digest D.enhance
71.The purpose of writing a review on a book isD.

B.to show that you really stick to your own opinion though you've read the book
C.to arouse readers'curiosity to read more books on irrelevant topics
D.to spark readers'interests in finding the book and reading it
72.Which of the following is NOT true about the"dos"?B
A.Before writing a book review,you'd better read it thoroughly or many times.

12.The electric revolution
The main reasons why electric cars are not more popular at present are their price and their relatively small range.
Existing battery systems only allow electric cars (33)to travel (travel) a distance of between 100and 160km.However,this distance may not be a problem for urban drivers.A recent Sydney study reported that 70percent of journeys were 30km or less,and recent data from the US suggests that 77percent of trips (34)taken (take) there are 48km or less.
An innovative company called Better Place is aiming to make electric cars an option for all drivers.It wants to see existing vehicles replaced by electric vehicles which,it says,offer a number of benefits.Firstly,they can be powered by renewable energy which produces zero emissions.(35)What is more important is that electric motors are more efficient and can convert more than 90percent of power into movement.(36)To achieve (achieve) its aim,Better Place plans to use technology already available.
The plan is simple but revolutionary.It starts with the installation of a home charge point,and through this,the vehicle will be plugged into the electricity charge point whenever it is in the garage,typically at night.In the morning,with a fully charged battery,the car is capable of as much as 160km in urban motoring conditions.(37)With the home charge point,the battery can be topped up by charge points at work and at supermarkets.
(38)The battery is linked to a control centre by smart technology inside the vehicle.Better Place can then ensure that the car is charged with electricity from renewable sources at the cheapest price.For (39)longer (long) trips,a navigation system directs the driver to the nearest switch station,(40)where the battery can be replaced with a charged one by a robot within a couple of minutes.
2.The modern world is full of useful objects that were invented by someone,from spoons and chopsticks in our kitchens to the Ipads in our handbags Each invention is an example of the creative power of the human mind.Where do inventors get their inspirations(灵感)?The inspiration behind each of these inventions varies.
Take the shopping cart as an example.Sylvan Goldman was a grocery store owner.Like most businessmen,he wished that his customers would buy more so that he could make more money.He knew山at if they could carry more goods easily as they were shopping,山en his sales would go up.While thinking about the problem one night,he had an idea.Working with a local handyman named Fred Young,he designed the first shopping cart.Today,retailers who use shopping carts sell more goods and make more profits.
Nature has also inspired inventors throughout history.This is what happened to George de Mestral one day.While hunting with his dog in the Swiss Alps,he noticed how the burs(剌球) of certain plants stuck to his clothing and to his dog's fur.After examining them under a microscope,he found they had tiny hooks that could easily stick to the fibers of clothing or animal hide.For the next ten years,George de Mestral searched for the hest way to produce his idea.The result of his original inspiration was Velcro,which is used in many modem objects,including sportswear,shoes,automobiles,and even space suits.
These examples show us that there are at least two possible inspirations for human Creativity in the world of inventions-profit and nature.No doubt,the future will continue to breathe new life into the economies of the world with fresh ideas and inventions.How many of their creations will be inspired by natural phenomena?The world's problems require creativity and we can expect best solutions from future generations.

A.Because grocery stores without shopping carts made less money
B.Because he lowered the prices of his goods.
