Electrical devices(仪器) could soon use power made by human energy. Scientists say they have developed an experimental device that produces electricity from the physical movement of a person walking. British scientist Max Donelan and other scientists in Canada and the United States developed the device.

The device connects to a person’s knee. As the person walks, the device captures energy each time the person slows down. To do this, the device helps with the slowing down movement of the leg. The movements of the walking person push parts of a small machine that produces electricity. Using the device, an adult walking quickly could produce thirteen watts of electricity in just a minute. Donelan says walking at that speed could produce enough power to operate a laptop computer for six minutes.

There are several possible uses for the device. Developers say it could help people who work in areas without electricity to operate small computers. The device could also be used in hospitals to operate heart pacemakers(起搏器). It could even be used to assist in the movement of robotic arms and legs.

The experimental version of the device weighs about one and a half kilograms, but it is too costly for most people to buy. But the researchers hope to make a lighter, less costly version. An improved version shou1d be ready in one year.

The developers hope the device will one day help developing countries. Near1y twenty five percent of people around the world live without electric power.

A similar product was invented in 2005 by Larry Rome of the University of Pennsylvania. He created a bag carried on a person’s back that also produces power from wa1king.

The knee device does not produce as much electricity as the bag. But the bag requires the walker to carry a load of twenty to thirty kilograms.

1.The second paragraph mainly talks about .

A. who developed the device

B. how the device works

C. several possible uses for the devices

D. how much electricity the device can produce

2.Compared with the device designed by Larry Rome, this new device .

A. produces power without adding more loads to the walker

B. can produce more power in a much shorter time

C. needs to be equipped with a battery

D. can help the walker wa1k faster

3.From the passage, we can learn that the electrical device can .

A. help housewives operate the washing machine

B. make it much easier for us to go online

C. produce more electricity than that invented by Larry Rome

D. be applied in medicine to operate heart pacemakers

4.What would be the best title for the passage?

A. First device powered by walking wi1l soon be on the market

B. Advanced technology brings in a new way to operate heart pacemakers

C. Device gives new meaning to the idea of power walking

D. Human energy will become a main source of electricity

When you get tense(紧张的) about something that happens in your life, you are experiencing stress. Too much stress can cause anger, depression and other related symptoms, which you need to seriously look into.

The following are simple ways that can be used to deal with stress.

Be Gentle with Yourself

There are times when you are not fair to yourself. Often you are harder on yourself than you are on other people. If you can learn to accept yourself just the way you are, especially unconditionally, this would reduce the pressure you apply to yourself.

Exercise

Go for a walk. Go to the shops. You can join a local walk, swim or jog team. If you are tired out from doing housework and haven`t left your workstation, have a stretch. Change your environment for an hour or so.

Stop Comparing Yourself with Others

Often you don`t realize that a great deal of unhappiness is caused by constant comparisons you make. You say, “if only I had a big house like she has…”, “if only my husband were as rich as hers…” The comparison is endless. The only comparison that counts is the comparison between where you were and where you are now . By all means, admire others, congratulate them and be proud of their achievements, but remind yourself that only you can decide the standard（标准） you want to set for yourself.

Talk the Stress Out

Sometimes it helps to share or talk about your stress to close friends or family members. The other person`s active listening can help.

1.The passage is mainly about________.

A. doing exercise is good for your health

B. how to deal with stress in life

C. comparing yourself with others is wrong

D. how to lead a happy life in daily life

2.According to the fifth paragraph, we should________.

A. make comparisons with others constantly

B. remind yourself that you`re unhappy

C. compare with yourself instead of others

D.set the standard of happiness

3.What can we learn from the passage?

A. Comparing with others makes us happy.

B. Too much stress is bad for our health

C. Others put much pressure on us.

D. Talking out our stress might be dangerous

The producer comes regularly to collect the cameras _____ to our shop for quality problems.

Last week, I bought an alarm system for about $ 450. It consisted of a control unit with three small units. I put the control unit in the sitting-room and fastened the other units by the front door, back door and living-room windows. The instructions told us to choose three numbers, so we chose 491, the last three numbers of our telephone number.

Now I will explain how the alarm works:

1. There is a power siren in the control unit. It makes a very loud noise.

2. Each of the small units sends out beams or rays in different directions. If anything moves, it breaks a beam. This sends signal to the control unit. The siren makes a noise which you can hear 50 meters away.

3. When we go to bed, I press the three buttons numbered 4, 9 and 1. Then we have 30 seconds to get out of the room before the alarm starts to work. That night I slept soundly because I was sure that no burglar could get into our house. However, at about 2:10 a. m. , I woke up and heard the siren.

"There must be a burglar in the house?" Mary said, "What shall we do?"

"I'll go and see who's there," I said, "Stay here. Don't make a noise. "

I went down stairs quietly. When I reached the living-room, I switched on my torch and looked round the room. Then I turned the light on. I switched the siren off and searched the rooms downstairs. There was nothing wrong except that the back door was unlocked. I locked it, re-set the alarm and went back to bed.

About an hour later, the alarm started again. I jumped out of bed, fell over a chair in the dark and bumped into the bedroom door. Mary woke up and started hitting me with a torch. "Hey! Wait a minute!" I whispered, "It's only me. I'm going downstairs to see what's wrong."

I went down into the living-room and listened for a moment. The only sound I could hear was the siren. I tamed on the light and switched the siren off. As I did so, I glanced across at the curtains in front of the windows. I saw a house lizard (a kind of small animals)(壁虎) disappear behind the curtains.

"Oh!" I said to myself. "That's our burglar.”

When the lizard moved, it started the siren. I guessed the alarm had been made in Europe, where there are no house lizards.

Well, I won't finish this story but if you want an alarm system free of charge, let me know. I'll send you ours. We bought a dog this morning. It knows the difference between a lizard and a burglar(强盗).

The simplest way to say it is this: I believe in my mother. My belief began when I was just a kid, who dreamed of becoming a doctor.

My mother was a . Through her work, she observed that people spent a lot more time reading than they watching television. She announced that my brother and I could only watch two to three pre-selected TV during the week. With our time, we had to read two books each from the Detroit Public Library and written book reports to her. She would mark them up with check marks and highlights. Years later we realized her marks were a . My mother was illiterate（文盲）.

When I entered high school I was a(n) student, but not for long. I began to like the fancy clothes. I wanted to the guys. I went from being an A-student to a B-student to a C-student. One night my mother came home from her various jobs and I about not having enough Italian knit shirts. She said, "Okay, I'll give you all the money I have this week scrubbing floors and cleaning bathrooms, and you can buy the family food and pay the bills. With the money , you can have all the Italian knit shirts you want." I was very pleased with that but once I got through allocating（分配）money, there was left. I realized my mother was a financial genius to be able to keep the roof over our heads and any kind of food on the table, let alone buy . I also realized that my wasn't going to get me anywhere. Success required intellectual preparation. I went back to my and became an A-student again, and I realized my dream and I became a doctor.

My story is really my mother's story--a woman with formal education or property who used her position as a parent to change the lives of many people around, especially her children. There is no job more important than . This I believe.
