Last Wednesday，we were having our English class when a teacher suddenly slipped and fell．We are all worried about him．One of the boy carried him on the back，with the help of some others，to the clinic immediate．It turned out that her right leg was broken but he had to stay in hospital．The following day，we went to visit him with flowers and fruit．Seen him lying in bed with his leg wrapped in bandages，so we felt sorry for him and hoped that he would recover soon．This Thursday，he returned the class on a wheelchair to give us lessons．We were all deeply moved and proud with having such a responsible teacher．

10．We know the famous ones-the Thomas Edisons and the Alexander Graham Bells-but what about the less famous inventors？What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper （雨刮器）？Shouldn't we know who they are？
Joan McLean thinks so．In fact，McLean，a professor of physics at Mountain University in Range，feels so strongly about this matter that she's developed a course on the topic．In addition to learning"who"invented"what"，however，McLean also likes her students to learn the answers to the"why"and"how"questions．According to McLean，"When students learn the answers to these questions，they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try．"
Her students agree．One young man with a patent（专利） for an unbreakable umbrella is walking proof of McLean's statement．"If I had not heard the story of the windshield wiper's invention，"said Tommy Lee，a senior physics major，"I never would have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rainstorm into something so constructive．"Lee is currently negotiating（谈判） to sell his patent to an umbrella producer．
So，just what is the story behind the windshield wiper？Well，Mary Anderson came up with the idea in 1902 after a visit to New York City．The day was cold and stormy，but Anderson still wanted to see the sights，so she jumped aboard a streetcar．Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield，she found herself wondering why there couldn't be a built-in device for cleaning the window．Still wondering about this when she r eturned home to Birmingham，Alabama，Anderson started drafting out（草拟） solutions．One of her ideas，a lever （操作杆） on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm on the outside，became the first windshield wiper．
Today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations（创新）．It's hard to imagine driving without Garrett A．Morgan's traffic light．It's equally impossible to picture a world without Katherine J．Blodgett's innovation that makes glass invisible．Can you picture life without clear windows and eyeglasses？
12．By mentioning"traffic light"and"windshield wiper"，the author indicates that countless inventions areB．
A．beneficial，because their inventors are famous
B．beneficial，though their inventors are less famous
C．not useful，because their inventors are less famous
D．not useful，though their inventors are famous
13．Professor Joan McLean's course aims toD．
A．add colour and variety to students'campus life
B．inform students of the windshield wiper's invention
C．carry out the requirements by Mountain University
D．prepare students to try their own inventions
14．Tommy Lee's invention of the unbreakable umbrella wasB．
A．not eventually accepted by the umbrella producer
B．inspired by the story behind the windshield wiper
C．due to his dream of being caught in a rainstorm
D．not related to Professor Joan McLean's lectures
15．Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage？
C
A．How to Help Students to Sell Their Inventions to Producers？
B．How to Design a Built-in Device for Cleaning the Window？
C．Shouldn't We Know Who Invented the Windshield Wiper？
D．Shouldn't We Develop Invention Courses in Universities？

13．If you are sitting，please stand up．Move your legs．Touch your toes if you can．Do anything but sit．New research shows that if you cut down on the time you spend sitting，you might live longer．Sitting less than three hours a day might extend（延长） your life by two years．Cutting television time to less than two hours a day can add one point four years to life．
The human body is designed to move．The fact is just the opposite．Modern lifestyles and office jobs don't give us the chance to move around．We sit while we're eating； we sit in the car； we sit while we are watching TV．And most of us sit for many hours at work．Sitting is something we do all the time．On average，Americans sit for four and a half to five hours a day．But that does not make sitting good for us．
You may exercise often．That does not mean you can sit for the rest of your waking hours．We can't throw away physical activity．It is extremely important．Eve if you exercise for 30 minutes a day，what goes on in the other 23 and a half hours a day is also very important．
Changes are coming to some offices，especially in the design of desks．A"standing desk"lets people stand while they work．Another new design is called the"treadmill desk"．It is an exercise machine that lets you walk slowly in one place．Even some U．S．schools begin to experiment with desks that are part bicycle to keep children moving．
Many companies may not buy a standing desk for everybody．However，they may get five standing desks or a treadmill desk for their employees and put them in a certain place where people can go for an hour a day to answer their emails or talk on the phone．Experts suggest some other activities：take a walk at lunchtime； walk to the offices and talk directly instead of emailing colleagues（同事）．All these activities may help you live longer．
4．Why should people stand up according to the new research？D
A．They should touch their toes．
B．Standing more can cure some diseases．
C．They spend too much time watching TV．
D．Sitting less does people good and may help people live longer．
5．What can we learn about sitting？C
A．Sitting is the best position for the body．
B．The more people sit，the better they will be．
C．People usually have to sit for a long time nowadays．
D．Americans sit longer every day than people in other countries．
6．What does the underlined word"It"in Paragraph 3 refer to？A
A．Exercising．B．Sitting．C．Standing．D．The walking hour．
7．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？B
A．The"treadmill desk"is used by people to run．
B．The new design of desks can help people sit less．
C．It's better for school students to use standing desks．
