题目内容

　　What's new in the scientific community?Here are four gadgets (小玩意儿)to open up your eyes：

　　Mosquito Repelling Necklace

　　For quite a lot of people, mosquitoes are one of the biggest problems brought by the warm and often rainy season．The necklace generates a sonic(声波的)repelling frequency(频率), which keeps the insects away．Unlike many other products, it doesn't use any kind of chemicals and toxic sprays that poses a potential threat for the human body．The plastic case is compact(简洁的)enough to wear around your neck or clip to your collar．Effective up to three meters in radius(半径)．

　　Ice Cream Ball

　　Ice cream in just 20 minutes?No magic tricks．

　　All they'll need are five ingredients and some rolling around．Load ice and rock salt into one end and the ice cream ingredients into the other．As the mixture of ice and rock salt is melting, it absorbs heat．

　　Roll or toss the ball around and voila-ice cream．

　　Cell phone

　　This new kind of cell phone features a color touch-screen－speech balloons(对话框)are brought to real life from comic(漫画的)strips．It adapts to your favorite comics: talks to you in your favorite character's language, updates you on new ringing tones and games based on the comics．The tail of the cell phone serves as a USB connector to interchange data between this phone and a computer．Turn this cell phone 90 degrees－the contents of the screen will rotate(旋转)as well．Even if you hang upside down like Spiderman you will make everything out．

　　Time-flex

　　Want to keep track of time but hate wearing bulky watches?Check out Time-flex, this ultra-flexible, self-gumming watch sticks to your skin or clothes like a transparent Band-Aid．It can be peeled off and rolled up like paper when not in use．You control the menu via touch-screen．It's powered by ultra small batteries that are invisible to the naked eye．

练习册系列答案

We believe that life will be 1 after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we are discouraged that the kids aren’t 2 enough and we’ll be more pleased when they are. After that, we’re discouraged that we have teenagers to 3 . We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage. We tell ourselves that our 4 will be complete when we get a nicer car, when we have our 5 house, when we are able to go on a nice vacation, when we retire, when we win the lottery(彩票).

The 6 is, there’s no better time to be happy than right now. If not now, 7 ?Your life will always be filled with challenges. It’s best to admit this to yourself and decide to be 8

right now.

So, 9 every moment that you have. Recognize that each 10 you take is a gift and be 11 . Remember that time waits for no one. So stop 12 until you finish school, until you go back to school, until you 13 the weight, until you have kids, until your kids 14 the house, until you start work, until you retire, until you get 15 , until you get divorced(离婚), until Friday night, until Sunday morning, until you get a new car or home, until your car or home is 16 , until spring, until summer, until fall, until winter, until you’ve had a drink, until you

17 , until you are born again—to decide, that there is 18 better time than right now to be happy.

Happiness is a(n) 19 , not a purpose. So, work like you don’t need 20 , love like you’ve never been hurt, and dance like no one’s watching.

This was one of my experiences 1 .When I was in my 30s,I was working for a large international company which had its head office in London. I was working in the 2 department.

The company had a training center which was just outside London. Different courses were held there throughout 3 and I 4 go on one training course a year. These usually started 5 a Sunday evening and lasted six days.

Once I was 6 a week’s training course with about forty 7 sales people. I was in the bar on the Friday evening and suddenly a woman who was 8 behind the bar asked me a curious question.“I hope you don’t 9 my asking,” she said, “but I’ve been 10 about it all week. Have you got a sister 　　11 Mary?” The woman’s name was June. And she used to do various jobs at the training center’s worked in the office, she organized all the food and drink for the center and she worked in the bar at lunch time and in the evening.

My answer 12 June’s question was “Yes”,and June said,“I thought 13 .I met her last September when she was organizing a course here.” At that time, my sister was working for 14 company but in a different part of the country. That was 15 she came to be at the training center.
16 surprised me was how June guessed we were brother and sister. Three things made it even more 　　17 .First, she had met my sister six months before she met me. Second, they have about sixty new people every week at the training center’s about one thousand five hundred people had 18 the center in those six months. And 19 ,my sister is married, so she doesn’t have the same family name as me.

We’re not 20 ,but I guess we must look quite like each other.

My father was raised in a fatherless home at a time when the family of five struggled to survive, which caused my father to be extremely tightfisted(吝啬) with money.

When we children became 　 16 that other children got pocket money from their parents, we made a(n)　 17 to ask our father from some. Immediately his face turned stone-cold, and he said, “If you’re old enough to ask, you’re old enough to 　 18 .” And we had to seek odd jobs about the neighborhood.

He didn’t 　 19 his attitude as we grew into adulthood. There was a time when 　 20 of us had a car, so we had to ride a 　 21 whenever we came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met us,　 22 in bad weather. If someone 　23 (and my brothers did a lot), he’d say in his 　 24 father-voice. “That’s what your legs are 　 25 !”

One spring morning I was on the bus home from 　 26 . Tests and long hours in labs had 　 27 me exhausted. As other students were 　 28 at their stops. I looked silently out of the window. Finally, the bus came to a 　 29 at my destination, and I 　 30 , carrying my suitcase to begin the long journey home.

The row of privet hedge(树篱) came into 　 31 , which lined the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. I stopped to put a book in the suitcase. When I stood up, I saw something gray

　 32 along the top of the hedge toward the house.

It was the top of my father’s head. I 　 33 then, each time I came home, he would stand behind the hedge, watching,　 34 he knew I had arrived safely. I held back my tears. He did care,　 35 .

Upon reaching home, I found my father innocently in his chair. “So! It’s you!” he said, his face lengthening into surprise.

It was 4 o’ clock in the morning when I received the phone call.

“This is the emergency room calling and your son was just 31 in with severe burns on his face, neck and arms. We have called for a (n) 32 and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle.” Seattle was 350 miles from his college, so we knew immediately this was 33 .

The doctor described the 34 , which caused the burns. Our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers in the courtyard of their apartment. When they 35 the charcoal(木炭), it burst into flames because they had sprayed too much gasoline(petrol). The flames 36 my son’s shirt tail(下摆) and shot from his waist to well over his head.

37 , one of the boys was quick-minded, grasped(抓住) my son, and 38 him on the grass. While it saved his life, it was not in 39 to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars(伤疤).

After he 40 from the treatments, the doctors told him they would not do plastic surgery(整容) for 6 months 41 it takes that long for the skin to stop shrinking(缩水) and wrinkling(起皱). So, he had to return to college with scars typical of severe burns.

When I was a child, my mother told my sister, who had a 10-inch, very 42 scar on her arm, “Nancy, if you ignore the scar, other people will ignore it. It does not mean they will not 43 it, but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you.”

I 44 this wisdom on to my son. He took my advice to his 45 and returned to school with his head held high——glad he was alive.

By the end of the six-month waiting period, he decided that the scars did not 46 , so he made the 47 to give up any plastic surgery.

We all have “scars” that we believe 48 people to keep away from us. And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked differently, or dressed differently, people would like us better.

But you see, people will only judge you by your looks, or your clothes, if you are judging yourself by these same 49 standards. Put your imperfections out of your mind and concentrate on what you value 50 yourself, and your beauty will shine through.
