My friends, Emma Daniels, spent the summer of 1974 traveling in Israel. During her monthlong stay in Jerusalem she often went to a caf¨¦ called Chocolate Soup. It was run by two men, one of whom ¨C Alex ¨C used to live in Montreal. One morning when Emma went in for coffee, while chatting with her new friend Alex, she mentioned that she had just finished the book she was reading and had nothing else to read. Alex said he had a wonderful book she might like, and that he¡¯d be happy to lend it to her. As he lived just above the caf¨¦, he quickly ran up to get it. The book he handed to Emma just minutes later was Markings, a book by a former Secrctary-General of the United Nations (UN).

Emma had never read it, nor had she ever bought a copy. But, when she opened it up, she was floored to see her own name and address inside the cover in her own handwriting£¨±Ê¼££©.It turned out that the summer before, at a concert back in Montreal, Emma had met a Californian who was in town visiting friends. They decided to exchange£¨½»»»£©addresses, but neither of them had any paper. The man opened up a book he was carrying in his backpack(±³°ü) and asked Emma to write her name and address inside.

Satellites(ÎÀÐÇ) are an important part of our ordinary lives£®For example, the information for weather forecasts is sent by satellite£®Some satellites have cameras which take photographs of the Earth to show how clouds are moving£®Satellites are also used to connect our international phone calls£®

Computer connections of the World Wide Web and Internet also use satellites. Many of our TV programs come to us through satellites£®Airplane pilots also sometimes use a satellite to help them find their exact location£®

We use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to another£®They are usually 35£¬880 kilometers above the equator£¨³àµÀ£©£®Sometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay in the same place£®This is because it is moving around the world at 11£¬000 kilometers an hour¡ªexactly the same speed that the earth rotates£®A satellite must orbit the Earth with its antennae(ÌìÏß)facing the earth£®Sometimes, it moves away from its orbit£¨¹ìµÀ£©£¬So there are little rockets on it which are used to put the satellite back in the right position£®This usually happens about every five or six days£®

Space is not empty! Every week, more and more satellites are sent into space to orbit the Earth£®A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years£®Satellites which are broken are sometimes repaired by astronauts or sometimes brought back to Earth to be repaired£®Often£¬very old or broken satellites are left in space to orbit the Earth for a very long time£®This is very serious because some satellites use nuclear power and they can crash£¨×²£©into each other£®

1.Which of the following is NOT done by satellites according to the passage?

A£®Sending information for weather forecast£®

B£®Taking photographs of the Earth£®

C£®Sending TV pictures£®

D£®Providing food for airplane pilots£®

2.What¡¯s the speed the earth rotates at?

A£®35,880 kilometers per hour£®

B£®335,880 kilometers per hour£®

C£®11,000 kilometers per hour£®

D£®110,000 kilometers per hour

3.Why does the satellite move around the world at the same speed as the Earth rotates?

A£®In order to take photographs£®

B£®In order to stay in a certain position in the orbit£®

C£®In order to move away from its orbit£®

D£®In order to send television pictures£®

4.What does the underlined word ¡°This¡± in the 3rd paragraph refer to?

Save Your Time, Money and Stress with Savvy Rental Car Strategies

Renting a car can be expensive, confusing, and stressful ¡ª but it doesn¡¯t have to be. Here are several helpful strategies to save money, time, and stress on your next (and every) car rental.

Sign Up for Loyalty Programs

Rental car loyalty programs are free to join, so register for any programs you might use in the future. My favorite car rental loyalty program benefit is that I can skip the counter and head right to my reserved car. Some programs allow members to choose a car from the available pool. 1.

Optimize Your Strategy

Do you really need a rental car from the airport? For instance, if your flight arrives at night, take a free hotel shuttle and pick up your car the next day. The car rental location might even be at your hotel or can pick you up (or deliver the car to you). 2.

3.

For a city trip, you may not even need a rental car. Research whether mass transit, taxi, Uber, bike rental, and other transportation methods will suffice. Parking charges at downtown hotels may cost more than your car rental rate, so it may be doubly in your favor to give up a rental car. In some locations, a bike might be more efficient and economical than a car.

Search for Specials

4. In conjunction with your personal discount code, you may also find a last-minute rate, free rental day, or other promotion. My favorite annual travel deal is driving a car one-way out of Florida after Spring Break with rates as low as $1 per day.

Consider Alternative Rental Options

Major car rental companies might have an associated discount brand at your rental location, like Firefly for Hertz. 5. An independent or smaller local agency may fit your needs; like A1 or Lucky Owl in Honolulu. Many people prefer to check rates on Hotwire and Priceline, especially for last-minute rentals.

A£®Rental rates are likely lower away from the airport, plus you might save the cost of an entire rental day.

B£®I use discount-finding websites to track my car reservations.

C£®Smaller brands, like Thrifty and Fox, might offer better service and lower rates.

D£®In addition to saving time and offering freedom of choice, loyalty members earn points and receive special promotions.

E£®Check car rental company websites for current specials.

F£®Skip the Car

G£®Use a bike

Several years ago, the mayor of Chicago, Illinois, visited Germany, a leader in green roof design. Later he decided to have vegetation planted on Chicago City Hall. Today, the tops of many other buildings also look like parks. In Canada, the Coast Plaza Hotel in Vancouver has a forest on its roof. New York City has an unusual example farm for hydroponics. The farm is on a boat called the Science Barge. Rainwater and river water are used to grow lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers. The farm shows the possibilities for designing rooftop systems.

Green roofs are designed to save energy and capture rainwater. Rooftops covered with plants help keep buildings cool. They can extend the life of a roof. And they can reduce water running off into streets and storming water systems.

Experts say green roofs usually do not get much above 27¡æ. So temperatures might not be a problem for growing. But rooftop gardeners have to be careful not to put too much weight on the roof. This is true whether plants are grown in soil or water.

Earlier in 2008, researchers in Texas reported that green roofs can reduce a building's air conditioning costs by about one?fifth compared to black?top roofs. But they also reported that not all green roofs perform equally well. They found that designs differ in their ability to keep buildings cool and to capture rainwater. The researchers put experimental roofs on top of metal insulated (¸ôÈȵÄ) boxes, to recreate green roof conditions. The study compared products from six companies to help businesses understand how to improve their designs. Each rooftop had sixteen different kinds of plants native to Texas. The researchers say the presence of native plants likely helped all the green roofs capture water better compared to sedums. Sedums are plants that need little water and often are used on green roofs. The native plants could take in more water and release more of it to the atmosphere.

1.The author gave Paragraph 1 to ________.

A. tell us what is green roof design

B. tell us Germany is the country that leads or guides the green roof design

C. introduce some famous hotels in the world

D. lead to the topic of the passage

2.The advantages of green roofs are mentioned in the passage EXCEPT ________.

A. changing the local weather

B. prolonging the roof's life

C. keeping the house cool

D. reducing the house's air conditioning costs

3.According to the passage, which conclusion is WRONG?

A. Sometimes green roofs may break down the house.

B. Not all the green roofs can reduce the building's air conditioning costs equally.

C. Different designs of green roofs have different effects on buildings.

D. Sedums are a kind of plants native to Texas.

4.The experiment is mentioned in the last paragraph ________.

A. to find out how many different plants in Texas

B. to show us how to design green roofs

C. to introduce a kind of roof made of metal

D. to provide proofs to improve the design of green roofs
