10．What will the man do this evening？

11．Bottled water is a booming industry in New Zealand，but it's terrible for the environment-each bottle thrown away adding to the 190，000tons of plastic New Zealanders throw into landfills each year．
But now one company has created water storage that they hope will prove to be just as convenient as a plastic bottle-but contains no actual plastic．
Skipping Rock Labs make Oohos，flexible membranes filled with water that are constructed using a seaweed extract-meaning they，re totally edible and biodegradable，wrapping and all．
There aren't any known side effects from digesting the membranes，which are tasteless-though Ooho!says flavors can be added to make them more appetizing．
The company took to crowdfunding site CrowdCube with the idea，and it has since gone viral-with more than 900investors bagging them A£751，700 to develop and launch the Ooho!balls （ $1.35million）．
Skipping Rock Labs create the balls by dipping ice into brown algae and calcium chloride，with the membrane taking shape around the ice-and while that may sound complicated，the company says it，s more cost-effective than producing a plastic bottle．
A layer atop the membrane can be peeled off just before drinking，for hygiene purposes．Skipping Rock Labs are hoping their new product takes off-and that it starts to put a dent into the plastic packaging industry．

32．The product Oohos made by the company Skipping Rock Labs has the following good points except thatD．
A．it is non-plastic
B．it is edible

D．it is expensive to make

D．By borrowing money from the bank．

A．Why the company made their product．
B．Where the company made their product．
C．How the company's product was made．

18．To be punctual is important for us because people rather expect us to be on time for appointments．But it seems not easy to be on time every time．Here are some useful methods to help you be punctual．
Plan your route．If your destination（目的地） is unfamiliar，go online the night before to map out your route and see how long it's going to take．Then you will know when you have to leave the house．
Do as much as possible the night before．Make your mornings less stressful（有压力的） by doing what you can the night before to make your time enough．Get your clothes ready．Set the breakfast table．Make your lunch if you need to take it．
Make a time table．You need to make a time table if you have lots of things to do in a day．For example，the time you get up，the time you leave the house，and the time you wait for the bus．You also need to estimate（估计） how long it takes．
Give yourself a gift of being early．If you plan to get to your destination 15minutes early，you'll probably never be late again．Being early seems a waste of time．But you can do something you love．Read the newspaper，read your favorite blogs and even call a friend．It really can be a gift．

5．On a cool November afternoon in Fleming Island，Florida，Melissa Hawkinson，41，was driving her five-year-old twins home from school when she saw a sudden splash in Doctors Lake just ahead．What was that？She thought．As she drove up to the scene，she saw a half-submerged car sinking about 30 yards offshore．"It was going down pretty quickly，"Hawkinson recalls．She stopped the car near the boat ramp and ran toward the water．Water is going to be cold，she thought．
     She took off her vest and leather boots，got into the icy water，and swam to the car，where she found Cameron Dorsey，five，trapped into his car as the swirling water rose around him．
     Hawkinson tried to open the door，but it was locked．So she pushed and pulled hard on the partially open window until she could reach through and unlock the door．She pulled the boy free，swam to shore，and handed him off to onlookers who were only watching them on a dock．The driver，the boy's suicidal father，swam back to land on his own．Afterward，Hawkinson sat on the shore wrapped in a blanket．"For ten or 15 minutes，I couldn't stop shaking，"she said．
     There's nothing visibly extraordinary about Melissa Hawkinson，an energetic stay-at-home mom with brown hair and a sweet smile．Yet something made her different from the dockside onlookers that day．Why do some people act quickly，willing to take a risk for a stranger？What makes them run toward danger rather than away from it？Hawkinson，the Granite Mountain Hotshots （能手，高手）---19 of whom lost their life this past summer in Arizona---every hero who puts his or her life on the line to save another：what makes them brave？
     Moreover，can bravery be learned，or is it a quality with which you are born？The answer is complex．Bravery taps the mind，brain and heart．It comes from instinct，training and sympathy．Today，neurologists，psychologists and other researchers are studying bravery，trying to uncover the mystery．
21．It can be learned from the passage thatB．
A．Melissa Hawkinson was a 41-year-old nurse
B．Melissa Hawkinson was kind and courageous．
C．Melissa Hawkinson was picking up her five-year-old son
D．it was spring when the accident happened
22．What conclusion can we draw from the third paragraph？D
A．No one else was available except Melissa Hawkinson．
B．The father committed suicide because of the divorce．
C．The father was saved in the end by Melissa Hawkinson．
D．Not everyone was ready to risk saving the five-year-old boy．．
23．How does the writer find other people on the dockside？C
A．Warm and ready to help            
B．Thoughtful
C．Kind of cold-blooded             
D．Not skillful at swimming
24．What is the writer's purpose of writing this passage？A
A．To set us thinking what makes people brave．
B．To call on us to learn from such people as Hawkinson．
C．To remind people of risk while saving others．
D．To show people bravery can be learned．
