The wedding took place in a Birmingham hotel. The bride and her father arrived in a new black American sport car. Her father looked nervous and uncomfortable in front of the cameras. The bride wore a silk wedding dress. She smiled nervously at the waiting photographers and went to a room on the first floor where she met her future husband for the very first time.

Carla Germaine and Greg Cordell were the winners of a radio station¡¯s competition. The aim of the competition was to find two strangers prepared to marry without having met each other. Miss Germaine, 23, is a model. Mr. Cordell, 27, is a TV salesman. They were among the two hundred people who entered a special ¡°experiment¡± organized by BMRB radio in Birmingham, England, Greg, and Carla were among eight finalists who were interviewed live on a radio. They took a lie detector£¨²â»ÑÒÇ£© test and the station also spoke to their friends and family about their personalities. The competition judges include an astrologer£¨Õ¼ÐǼң© who declared that they were suited.

The couple celebrated their wedding with a wedding breakfast and a party for 100 guests in the evening, but not everyone shared their joy. Miss Germaine¡¯s mother looked anxious throughout the wedding and Mr. Cordell¡¯s parents are reported to be less than delighted.

Organizations, including the marriage guidance Service Relate, have criticized the marriage. As one person put it, ¡°We have enough problems getting young people to take marriage seriously without this. Marriage should always be about love.¡±

Coral reefs(ɺº÷½¸) are not just beautiful to look at£¬but also very useful£®They shelter nearly 25£¥ of ocean life and provide food for billions of people£®However, like many other species£¬this amazing ecosystem(Éú̬ϵͳ) is in danger of dying out!

There are two main reasons for the destruction¡ªthe rising carbon dioxide levels caused by global warming as well as human influences like bottom operation£®While not much can be done about the former£¬the loss caused by the latter can be reduced.

Bottom operation involves dropping nets to the ocean bed and then dragging them up when filled with fish£®This action damaged the ocean floor£¬causing the coral branches to separate from the reefs£®While that is very discouraging£¬the good news is that if these branches are found quickly£¬they can be saved£®At present£¬that work is being performed by volunteer divers. But the method has only limited success because they cannot stay long underwater, nor reach depths of over 200 meters where some of the deep-sea coral grows.

However£¬this is not the case for Coralbots¡ªthe robots that can constantly seek out broken branches£®A team of ¡®coral bots¡¯£¬each individually working to simple rules will piece together damaged bits of coral, allowing them to regrow. They are programmed to be able to distinguish between other things and the coral£®The robots work together in groups£¬similar to bees£®If one coralbot is damaged, then the others will still be able to complete the task.

Dr Lea-Anne Henry said£º¡°The project of using coralbots offers us the possibility to restore(ÐÞ¸´) the function of reefs£®It is in the final stage of testing£®Once ready, the researchers hope to build hundreds of them and use them effectively in the waters off Scotland and then hopefully in the oceans across the world£®¡±

1.Which of the following is a cause of the danger that coral reefs are facing?

A£®The appearance of new creatures.

B£®The seriously polluted sea water.

C£®The activities of volunteer divers.

D£®Human activities like bottom operation.

2.Compared with volunteer divers£¬coralbots ________£®

A£®can stay longer underwater

B£®must work as bees do

C£®can distinguish what is coral

D£®can never be damaged

3.What does the underlined word¡°them¡±in the last paragraph refer to?

A£®Coralbots£®B£®Broken branches£®

C£®working bees£®D£®Bits of coral£®

4.We can infer from the passage that ________£®

A£®bottom operation has affected most underwater creatures

B£®broken branches of coral can regrow if saved in time

C£®hundreds of the coralbots have worked well in the oceans

D£®with the coralbots all damaged coral reefs can be restored

To the mom I used to be:

Two years ago, you were happy and whole. You had a plan for life ¡ª start a new business, get involved in the Parent-teacher Association, teach your sons how to ride bicycles, spend as much time with your friends and parents as possible, watch your children mature and grow old with your husband. You were a ¡°glass half full¡± person who often felt so much joy. You always looked forward, smiled and danced.

Two years ago, on December 14, 2012, the world changed and you changed with it. Disturbed young men with access to high-powered guns went to your sons¡¯ school and killed six educators and twenty first-graders. Your eldest son Jake survived, but was changed by the day he discovered some monsters are real. He describes it as the day ¡°when evils came to my school.¡± Your youngest son, Dylan, whom you thought of as a pure love, with his charming eyes and infectious giggle(΢Ц)£¬was killed. Shot multiple times, he died instantly in the arms of his special-education assistant who also died while trying to protect him.

The tragedy changed all your life, not only because of losing your child, but because of the hole inside you that can never be filled. Your eldest son has been forced to grow up too fast because of the loss of his brother. The pain has altered the lines on your husband¡¯s face. The way you look at the world has changed. Your interactions with friends and family seem foreign.

¡­ ¡­

But the things have moved on with hopefulness. You are now someone far more realistic. You control your feelings because you fear if you really let it out, you would never recover. It would destroy you. You know what you should do is try everything to protect more children. You¡¯re fighting a good fight, what the whole society really needs.

With love,

Nicole Hockley, Dylan¡¯s mom

How to Enjoy Your Family

Everyone has at least a little family drama, and you should still love your family no matter how many challenges are brought upon you. If you really trust your family, you should know they will always be there for you. 1..

Look back on the previous moments that you have had with your family. If you can think of no good memories with your family, 2.. Your friends are a big part of your life, and even though they aren¡¯t related to you, that doesn¡¯t mean you can¡¯t call them your family.

3. . Make sure they know how you feel. Tell them that there have been things bothering you for a while, and you just want them to understand. If you tell them how you feel, then maybe they will give you more respect.

If you are a teenager, remember that they are the ones that provide you a home and food. If they weren¡¯t there, then neither would you. Just be grateful. 4. .

Spend more time with your family. Have a "family game night". Go to see a movie, go out to dinner, go on vacation and so on. 5. !

If your family is just boring in general, and you are having a tough time enjoying their personalities, then expose your family to fun.

A. Here are the steps that will help you to learn about your family

B. There are people in the world living without any home or family

BEIJING ¡ª The launch of a new manned space mission brings China closer to the establishment of a permanent space station, international experts say.

Chinese taikonauts, Jing Haipeng, 50, and Chen Dong, 37, were blasted off into space onboard Shenzhou-11 at 7:30 am Monday and will spend 30 days in the Chinese space laboratory Tiangong-2.The launch marks a key step toward China's plan to eventually operate a permanent space station. The successful launch of the Shenzhou-11 spacecraft is another step forward to put China among leading players in space technology, said Alexander Zheleznyakov, a Russian expert on history of space flights. China's experimental space lab will help provide solutions for spacecraft of different functions to approach and anchor, and for a long-term operation of life support system, said Zheleznyakov. Shenzhou-11 is scheduled to anchor on Wednesday with Tiangong-2, which is part of China's plan to build a permanent space station by 2022.

China can now test technologies for cargo spacecraft anchoring, life support system operation and water recycling to ensure a long-term continuous operation of its space station in the future with less dependence on renewal from the Earth, he said. If all goes well, China will launch the unpiloted Tianzhou-1 cargo ship next spring to autonomously tie up with Tiangong-2. Tianzhou-1 will be capable of automatically transferring rocket fuels, a vital requirement for space station grouping and maintenance, according to a report by Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS).

"That will further their anchoring abilities needed for the larger space station," Johnson Freese was quoted." Tiangong-2 is supposed to be able to stay in orbit for two years or longer, so that's taking them (Chinese) really close to 2019 or so. I think this will be their last big technology test phase before going to their large space station," said Freese.

1.Why did China launch Shenzhou-11 into space?

A. To improve its launching ability.

B. To show off its space progress.

C. To set up a permanent space station.

D. To replace the space lab Tiankong-2.

2.Which of the following is designed to automatically transfer rocket fuels?

A. Shenzhou-11.B. Tiangong-2.

C. Shenzhou-1.D. Tianzhou-1.

3.Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase ¡°blasted off¡± in last paragraph?

A. sent upB. gave away

C. swept offD. carried away

The main cause of death and disability in the US

Stroke (Öзç) is the main cause of death and disability in the United States. Every 45 seconds, someone in America has a stroke. 1. It is the nation's third leading cause of death, ranking behind diseases of the heart and all forms of cancer. The following is something more about stroke.

Definition and description of a stroke

Stroke is a type of cardiovascular disease. It affects the arteries(¶¯Âö) leading to and within the brain. A stroke occurs when a blood vessel£¨Ñª¹Ü£© that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain is either blocked by a clot or bursts. 2. So stroke forms.

3.

The American Stroke Association has identified several factors (ÒòËØ) that increase the risk of stroke. The more risk factors a person has, the greater the chance that he or she will have a stroke. Some of these you can't control, such as increasing age, family health history, race, and previous stroke. 4. Factors resulting from lifestyle or environment can be improved with a healthcare provider's help.

Breakthroughs in treatment

5. In fact, about 600,000 people have strokes every year. For many years, there was no hope for those suffering a stroke. However, recent breakthroughs have led to new treatments. For the treatments to work, the person must get to a hospital immediately.

A. Risk factors of a stroke.

B .Warning signs of a stroke.

C. Every 3.1 minutes, someone dies of one.

D. A stroke can happen to anyone at any moment.

E. But you can change or treat other risk factors to lower your risk.

F. When that happens, part of the brain cannot get the blood and oxygen it needs.

G .The more common kind of stroke is caused by a blood clot that blocks a blood vessel in the brain.
