When our son, Alex, was young, he hated to travel. We endured refusals to visit one more museum, even if it was the Louvre. We coped with a child who resisted even a taste of onion soup in Paris and who insisted he would like nothing more than ordering room service at the hotel and watching TV.
Over the years, we have come up with several hard-earned but realistic strategies to help kids cope on long-distance trips.
First, we recognize that some children have trouble adjusting to new environments, food, time zones and schedules. So, in advance of a trip to England, we gave our son a taste of the new culture by making shepherd’s pie for supper. He loved the mashed potatoes, chopped meat and brown gravy(肉汁). For Italy, we sampled homemade pesto(香蒜沙司) served over linguine(扁面条). For Amsterdam, I cooked up a pot of comforting pea soup and baked a delicious apple pancake called pannekoeken. Then, when we traveled to these places, he ate these foods and they seemed like a taste of home.
In addition to food, we always sample the culture beforehand by reading books and renting movies from the countries we will be visiting. For Italy, the book Italian Folktales by Italo Calvino and the films Johnny Stecchino, Cinema Paradiso, and Il Postino gave our son a glimpse of the Italian way of life. For Britain, we rented Mr. Bean and Billy Elliot, and enjoyed stories by J.R.R. Tolkien and E. Nesbit. For Amsterdam, he finished The Diary of Anne Frank.
Before we leave home, we also ask Alex to go through our tour books and pick out activities that appeal to him. He was excited about visiting the London Dungeon and the Imperial War Museum, and taking a ride in the London Eye. They turned out to be big hits. Because Alex’s preferences were given equal attention, he was more tolerant of his parents’ selections, such as visiting Charters Cathedral and the Van Gogh Museum.
We’ve also learned the hard way that dragging our son out of bed early in the morning ,thus making him grumpy all day. Now that he is a teenager, we let him sleep in while we sip coffee at a café, work out at the hotel gym, or take a long walk. This makes our time together much more enjoyable

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 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 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 returned home to Birmingham,Alabama. Anderson started drafting out 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. 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?

1.By mentioning “traffic light”and “windshield wiper”, the author indicates that countless inventions are________.

   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

2.Professor Joan McLean’ s course aims to________.

   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

3. Tommy Lee’ s invention of the unbreakable umbrella was________.

   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

4.Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage?

   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?

     Money is the root of all evil- and new study claims there may be some truth behind the saying.
Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, US,   1  on February 27 that rich people are
more likely to do   2   things, such as lie or cheat, than poorer people.
    The scientists did a series of eight experiments. They   3  their findings online in the Proceedings
of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
    They carried out the first two experiments from the sidewalk near Berkeley. They noted that
drivers of newer and more expensive cars were more likely to cut off other cars and pedestrians
at crosswalks. Nearly 45 percent of people driving expensive cars   4   a pedestrian compared
with only 30 percent of people driving more   5  cars.
     In another experiment, a group of college students was asked if they would do unethical(不道
德的) things in various everyday situations and   6  included taking printer paper from work and
not telling a salesperson when he or she gave back more   7  . Students from higher-class families
were more likely to act dishonestly.
     According to the scientists, rich people often think money can get them out of trouble. This
makes them less afraid to take risks. It also means they care less about other people's feelings.
     Finally, it   8  makes them greedier . "Higher wealth status seems to make you want even more,
and that increased want leads you to bend the rules or break the rules to serve your self-interest,"
said Paul Piff, lead scientist of the study.
    Piff pointed out that the findings don't mean that all rich people are untrustworthy or all poor
peoplehonest. He said the experiments were to show how people living in different social situations
express their   9  and values in different ways.
