British engineers at a company called Reaction Engines, have successfully tested a whole new kind of jet engine, named Sabre, Financial Times is reporting, so that the time of long-distance flight could be halved, or even quartered. Britain’s Orange News says jets with the new engine could fly from London to Sydney in four hours, instead of the usual twelve to sixteen hours and Mail Online adds that new engine not only allows for faster travel but pollutes less and the fuel for it costs less as well.

The secret to the new engine is patented(获得专利) and this new technology very quickly changes air from normal temperature to super-cold temperature. This means the engine can run faster without breaking apart due to overheating, which keeps most modern jets from traveling faster. The engine is air-breathing and use hydrogen as its fuel source. In addition to flying faster, a jet with the new engine would also fly much higher, allowing for an even faster flight in the very thin air. Because of the very high speed produced by the engine and the high altitude, a jet with Sabre in it would not have any windows.

This is the biggest breakthrough in jet technology since the invention of the jet engine, and they expect new aircraft with the new engine to be traveling in the sky in just ten years. They also note that tests of the engine were overseen by the European Space Agency which has now wholly supported the new engine and has even begun talking about booking flight time with future jets that could be used to deliver satellites into orbit around the earth.

This technology is not something that happens overnight. Instead, it is the result of many years’ hard work by thousands of engineers from over seventeen countries. Research has suggested that, with advances in jet plane technology to match the engine, flights could eventually reach speeds of nearly 20,000 miles per hour, making travel to distant parts of the globe as quick and simple as driving across town.

1.Which advantage of jets with the new engine is NOT mentioned?

A. traveling faster B. polluting less

C. costing less D. flying more safely

2.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to ?

A. Reaction Engines. B. A long-distance flight.

C. A jet with the new engine. D. Mail Online.

3.The modern jets without the new engine can’t travel faster mainly because ________.

A. their engines can’t stay cool

B. they use a normal fuel source

C. they just fly at very high altitudes

D. their engines can’t allow jets to fly in the thin air

4.The European Space Agency hoped to ________.

A. be in charge of testing the technology

B. play the leading role in jet technology

C. use jets with the new engine to launch satellites

D. buy all the products made by Reaction Engines

Got big plans for Friday night? That's OK, we don't either.

Guess we'll all have to make do by watching the celestial(天空的) show that will take place that night.

First, there will be a full moon. That's always fun, but this one will be a little more special. It's known as a “snow moon.” The name comes from the fact that the heaviest snows usually fall during February, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac.

But if that's not special enough, there's also an eclipse(月食) that night. It'll be a penumbral lunar eclipse, meaning it’s a partial eclipse that leaves sections of the moon darkened by the earth's shadow. No, it won't be as spectacular as those "blood moon" eclipses, It'll be subtler. The level of darkness it reached during the eclipse may or may not be apparent; it just depends on where you are when you view it.

In North America, the eclipse begins at 5:34 p.m ET and ends at 9:53 p.m. ET, according to astronomy website EarthSky. The eclipse will be at its height around 7:44 p.m.ET.

If that's still not enough, let's throw in a comet(彗星)to the night's festivities.

Comet 45P (it has a much longer name, but we won't burden you with it here) is visible as it flies by Earth. The comet will get within 7.4 million miles of the planet as it makes its closest approach this weekend, according to Universe Today.

Comet 45P will be the most visible a couple of hours after the eclipse, so look to the skies again around 3 a.m.ET Saturday and find the greenish-blue light with a tail.

And don't forget, a total big-time solar eclipse will streak across the United States on August 21st.

Off-Peak fares are cheaper tickets for traveling on trains that are less busy, offering good value for money. The tickets may require you to travel at specific times of day, days of the week or on a specific route. Where there is more than one Off-Peak fare for a journey, the cheaper fare is called Super Off-Peak.

You can buy Off-Peak tickets any time before you travel, either online or at a local station. The travel restrictions for your Off-Peak ticket will depend on the journey you are making. The tickets must be used on the date shown on the ticket. For Off-Peak return tickets, related journeys must be made on the date shown on your ticket as well.

Children aged five to fifteen get a 50% discount for all Off-Peak fares. Up to 2 children under 5 years can travel free with each fare paying adult. Railcard holders get l/3 off all Standard Class Off-Peak fares. Senior, and disabled Railcard holders also get l/3 off all First Class Off Peak fares. Please note that minimum fares and time restrictions may apply to tickets bought with a Railcard.

Stamp collecting is easy when you do it as a hobby. You don’t have to spend a lot of money on it. Sometimes stamps can be got from many sources (来源) for free.

Getting Started

If you have no stamps at all,you might want to buy a packet of 500 or 1,000 different worldwide stamps from a hobby shop or stamp dealer to get started. One good choice is eBay. Try entering phrases like “worldwide stamps” in the search box. However,even if you want to specialize in collecting stamps,my advice is not to spend much money on stamps in the beginning. Start off collecting stamps from many sources for free until you have collected enough stamps and had enough experience.

Sorting Stamps

Assume(假设) you have some stamps and they are on paper. Before you take them off the paper,you should sort the stamps,for example,by country. This is because dealing with stamps is much easier when they are on paper. When you take them off the paper,they become easy to bend,crease,and tear easily.

Trimming(修剪)Stamps

Never try to take a stamp off its paper backing by pulling at it,even if it appears to be loose enough to do so. First,trim the paper around the stamp with a pair of sharp scissors making sure not to cut off the edge of the stamps. I suggest that you leave a quarter inch safety area from the edge of the stamp when you trim the paper before you are good at doing it.

1.This passage is written for people who________.

A. have no money to collect stamps

B. want to sell their stamps

C. want to collect stamps

D. don’t know how to sort stamps

2.According to the writer,at the very beginning,stamp?collecting beginners shouldn’t________.

A. collect common stamps

B. borrow some stamps from their friends

C. act as an inexperienced collector

D. spend a lot of money in buying stamps

3.What does the writer suggest NOT do when trimming stamps?

A. Pull at them to take them off the paper backing when they look loose.

B. Trim the paper around the stamp with a pair of sharp scissors.

C. Leave a quarter inch safety area from the edge of the stamp.

D. Make sure not to cut off the edge of the stamps.

It was lunchtime and I walked into a small branch bank on the West Side. I had come to __ a checking account.

The boy continued to __ my attention because of what happened next. He was holding an open savings-account book and __ an expression of disappointment. “But I don’t understand. I opened the account myself, so why can’t I __ any money?” the boy said, his voice breaking.

“I know it is, but those are the rules. I’ve already explained to you that a fourteen-year-old is not __ to withdraw money without a letter from his parents,” the officer explained patiently.

Suddenly I noticed the __ had a series of small deposits (存款)and withdraws. Then I questioned the officer, “How do you __ that? Why did you let him withdraw money before, but not now?” He looked __ . “Because the tellers were not aware of his age before and now they are. It’s really very __” I turned to the boy with a shrug. “You’re really getting __,” I said. “You ought to get your parents to come here and protest.” The boy looked destroyed. __, he put his savings book in a rear-pocket and walked out of the bank.

The officer turned to me. “You know,” he said, “you really shouldn’t have got __.” I couldn’t believe what he was saying. “We were __ this morning that some neighborhood bully has been shaking down (敲诈) this boy for more than a month. The guy was __ him to take money out every week and hand it over. The poor kid was __ too scared to tell anyone. Anyway, the police are on the case and they’ll probably make a(n) __ today.”
