6.It's given us robot cars and internet-enabled glasses-but when it came to creating a"Street View"of a desert,Google hit on a low-tech solution.It hired a camel.
The beast has become the first animal to carry Google's Trekker camera,which is typically lifted up by humans to capture(捕捉)360-degree pictures of destinations inaccessible to its Street View cars.
Google spokeswoman Monica Baz says the camel,reportedly named Faffia,was an appropriate way of documenting the beautiful moving sands of Abu Dhabi's Liwas Oasis,a 100kilometer-wide(62-mile)scenic desert,southeast of the city of Abu Dhabi.
"With every environment and every location,we try to customize the capture and how we do it for that part of the environment,"she told The National newspaper.
"In the case of Liwa we made it in a way so that it goes on a camel so that it can capture pictures in the best,most authentic and least damaging way,"Baz said.
Street View Treks have previously explored sites including the Grand Canyon,Mount Everest,the Eiffel Tower,the Egyptian pyramids and buildings of temples around Angkor Wat in Cambodia.There's even a subaquatic Trek of waters around the Galapagos islands.
Of course,while the camel can only be seen in shadow on the images it captured,Google's Street View cars have witnessed plenty of other very strange sights.Earlier this year one clocked what appeared to be the scene of a murder on the streets of Edinburgh.It later turned out to be a trick staged by auto mechanics who'd spotted the car on its approach.Another hoax was about a woman pretending to give birth on a roadside.The service,which began in 2007,has also hosted more amazing sights such as a bare guy climbing out the trunk(后备箱) of a car and a man with the head of a horse.

B.Measured the size of a desert
C.Documented the city of Abu Dhabi with a camera

C.Reported.     D.Approached.
7.What is the author's attitude towards Street View Treks?A
A.Objective.    B.Uncaring.
C.Doubtful.     D.Favorable.

A.New Street View Treks to Capture Pictures
B.Amazing Sights from Street View
C.Google Hired Camel for Desert Street View
D.Google Designed New Street View Cars for the Desert.

14.It is an agreed fact that all the creatures want happiness and are afraid of pain and grief (悲伤).The question,however,is"what is real happiness?"What really is called happiness?The desire for happiness has no meaning without un derstanding the real nature of happiness.
    Some thinkers say,"Happiness does not lie in objects of enjoyment; happiness or unhappiness lies in imagination."To prove their belief,they give examples like the following one:A man has two-storey house; on the right is a five-storey building and on the left a cottage.When he sees right,he feels unhappy and when he sees left he feels happy.As such happiness does not lie in possession of sensory objects,but in imagination.They advise people to look towards those who are poorer than you and be happy.If you look towards people having more wealth and possessions,you'll always be unhappy.
    It is unreasonable to hold this point of view.It is unkind to regard one happy by imagining that one is better than the poor and the unhappy."If you want to be happy,look towards the poor".This attitude satisfies the sense of pride of possessions,but this can never be called happiness.Unless we really find where happiness lies,we can not really be happy.
    Some ask people to do this and do that and say,"This way your desires would be satisfied.You would get the desired objects and become happy."People holding these views regard happiness as satisfaction of desires.But it is not possible to satisfy one's desires because there are countless desires of countless people and the material things are limited.Then new desires arise as soon as the previous ones are satisfied.Therefore,desires,which are changing all the time,can never be satisfied.
    Happiness,in fact,is a condition that must be prepared for,cultivated (培养),and defended privately by each person.People who learn to control inner experience will be able to determine the quality of their lives and come to being happy.Happiness lies in the distribution of easiness among others.Happiness stands for forgiveness and justice.Happiness is the name of struggle and courage.Happiness may be founded in seeking of true knowledge and rule of wisdom.Happiness may be shared in service and duty.This life is combination of joy and sorrow,and honest efforts should be done to make this life journey full of happiness,love,peace and harmony.

1.Six Ways to Improve Reading Comprehension
    Help your child keep what he reads-a crucial skill,especially as he gets older and needs to gain important information from textbooks.
    Have him read aloud.This forces him to go slower,which gives him more time to hear what he reads.(36)EChoose the right kinds of books.,not have too many new words that he can't understand.(37)D.or else he can't understand  the overall meaning of the story.
(38)C.To gain meaning from text,your child needs to read quickly and smoothly-a skill known as fluency.Rereading familiar,simple books gives your child practice at decoding words quickly so he'll become more fluent.
     Talk to the teacher.If your child is struggling hard with comprehension,he may need more help with his reading-for example,building his vocabulary or practising phonics skills.
     Supplement class reading.If his class is studying a particular theme,look for easy-to-read books or magazines on the topic.Some prior knowledge will make his way through tougher classroom texts.
     Talk about what he's reading.This"verbal processing"helps him remember and think through the themes of the book.(39)BFor example:
●Before:"What interests you in this book?What doesn't?"
●During:"(40)A.Is it turning out the way you thought it would?"
●After:"Can you summarize the book?What did you like about it?"

A.What's going on in the book?
B.Ask questions before,during,and after a reading session.
C.Reread to build fluency.
D.He should recognize at least 90 percent of the words without any help.
E.Plus,he's not only seeing the words,he's hearing them,too.
F.Look up new words in the dictionary.
G.Do you know all the characters in the story?

Also  (42)A,perhaps.Sometimes they have to pay for their own gear(设备).
I (43)B this because I volunteer as a firefighter in Durango,Colorado.I responded to more than 50calls in 2014,everything from wildfires to car accidents.In that period,I spent close to$1,000on the gear not(44)B by my department,things like higher-quality flashlights,knives,and better gloves,which make my (45)D easier.

In rural areas where population density(密度)is low and (52)C calls for fire and EMS services are rare,it just doesn't (53)D to have career firefighters on the staff 24/7(全天候).(54)C,volunteers are used to fill in the (55)D.We are ready to help someone on what is the worst day of their life.(56)C we have never met before,and might never again,but it doesn't matter in a crisis.(57)B volunteers,the whole system would collapse.
There's a T-shirt that is popular among us,reading"For Pride,Not (58)B"We volunteer because we know our (59)A need us.We don't need a small tax break.Without one,we'll still put on our gear when the alarm goes off without (60)C.But we'd appreciate one,and if it gets more people to join us,it's worth it

The driver screamed again,and the taxi went suddenly to the other side of the road and almost hit a truck.The truck driver shook his fist angrily.
(34)E Then it crashed into a store window with glass falling over it.
The driver looked at Howard.Then slowly he began to laugh.He laughed and laughed.
(35)C"I'm sorry,"said the driver when he stopped laughing."I thought I was still in my old job.When you tapped me on the shoulder and talked to me,I got really scared!"
"What was your old job?"asked Howard."Didn't I tell you?"said the driver."I used to drive a car that carried coffins(棺材) to funerals!"

A."I'm good at avoiding accidents,"the driver said confidently.

E.Then the taxi went into the sidewalk,just missing two more passers-by.
