10．A few degrees can make a big difference when it comes to food storage．Foods can go bad if they get too warm．But for many of the world's poor，finding a good way to keep food cool is difficult．Refrigerators are costly and they need electricity．Yet spoiled （变质的）food not only creates health risks but also economic losses．Farmers lose money when they have to throw away products that they cannot sell quickly．
But in 1995a teacher in northern Nigeria named Mohammed Bah Abba found a solution．He developed the ^"Pot-in-Pot Preservation/Cooling System．"It uses two round containers made of clay（粘土），A smaller pot is placed inside a larger one．The space between the two pots is filled with wet sand．The inner pot can be filled with fruit，vegetables or drinks．A wet cloth covers the whole cooling system．
Food stored in the smaller pot is kept from spoiling through a simple evaporation （蒸发）process．Water in the sand between the two pots evaporates through the surface of the larger pot，where drier outside air is moving．The evaporation process creates a drop in temperature of several degrees．This cools the inner pot and helps keep food safe from harmful bacteria．Some foods can be kept fresh this way for several weeks．
People throughout Nigeria began using the invention．And it became popular with farmers in other African countries．Mohammed Bah Abba personally financed （资助）the first five thousand pot-in-pot systems for his own community and five villages nearby．
In 2000，the Rolex Watch Company of Switzerland honored him with the Rolex Award for Enterprise（劳力士英才奖）．This award recognizes people trying to develop projects aimed at improving human knowledge and well-being．
A committee considers projects in science and medicine，technology，exploration and discovery，the environment and cultural history．Winners receive financial assistance to help develop and extend their projects．The awards are given every two years．The next awards will be presented in late 2016．

9．Almost  everyone  has  experienced  moments  of  fear  while  flying．It's one of modern civilization's most common problems，claiming one of every six people．Some say it's an apples-and-oranges comparison-but per mile，air travel is considerably safer than automobile  travel．In fact，a recent US National Safety Council  study shows flying to be 22times  safer than traveling by car．
Still，fear of  flying is a very real problem that can cause more than just unreasonable  feelings  of  fright．At worst，nervous fliers experience panic attacks，shortness of breath and accompanying dizziness（眩晕）．However，with  mental discipline，most  sufferers can conquer their fear of flying．Here  are  some techniques  and  strategies：
Breathe deeply．Carry  note  cards  with positive words  to  help  you  stay focused．Just  a  few  words  like"Breathe…you'll be fine"can help．
Pretend you're on a bus．Just close your eyes and  imagine  you're  on a bus ride．Any turbulence（颠簸） can be  experienced  as"bumps on  the  road"．
Avoid spreading your fear．Resist  the  temptation  to  have  a  conversation about your anxiety．Talking  about  it  might  encourage  others to share their bad travel experiences and that can only increase your own fear．
Take practical steps．Try to choose a seat where you'll have more room； sitting in the middle can add to claustrophobic（幽闭恐怖的）feelings．And stay cool so that your face feels refreshed．
Use prayer．Feel free to engage in prayer as a comforting way to cope with anxiety．If nothing else，it engages regions of the brain that might otherwise be absorbed in possible danger，
Knowledge is power．Arm yourself with as much knowledge as possible about security measures，traffic control，safety features and even how much goes into training a pilot．Soon you'll be flying without fear．

24．The underlined phrase"apples-and-oranges comparison"in Paragraph 1means that air travel and automobile travel areB．

C．similar to each other
D．dependent on each other
25．Which of the following can help conquer fear of flying？A

C．Keeping warm so that the mind is fresh．
D．Closing the eyes and having a good sleep．
26．If you are preparing note cards for air travel，what should appear on them？C

C．Cheer up!Everything will be OK．

27．The writer advises that on the plane one shouldD

8．I would like to suggest that for sixty minutes each evening，right after the early evening news，all television broadcasting be banned by law．
Let us take a serious look at what the results might be if such a suggestion were accepted．Families might use the time for a real family hour．They might sit around together after dinner and actually talk to one another．It is well known that many of our problems-everything，in fact，from the generation gap to the high divorce rate to some forms of mental illnesses-are caused at least in part by the failure to communicate．We do not tell each other what is disturbing us．The result is emotional difficulty of one kind or another．By using the quiet family hour to discuss our problems，we might get to know each other better，and to like each other better．
On evenings when such talk is unnecessary，families could rediscover more active entertainments．Freed from TV，forced to find their own activities，they might take a ride together to watch the sunset．Or they might take a walk together and see the neighborhood with fresh，new eyes．
With free time and no TV，children and adults might rediscover reading．There i s more entertainment in a good book than in a month of typical TV programming．Educators report that the generation growing up with television can hardly write an English sentence，even at the college level．Writing is often learned from reading．A more cultured new generation could be a product of the quiet hour．
At first glance，the idea of an hour without TV seems radical （激进的）．What will parents do without the electronic baby-sitter？How will we spend the time？But it's not radical at all．It has been only twenty-five years since television came to control our free time．Those of us thirty-five and older can remember childhoods without television，spent partly with radio-which at least involved the listener's imagination-but also with reading，learning，talking，playing games and inventing new activities．It wasn't that difficult，honest．The truth is that we had a ball．

A．people solve emotional problems

A．is not good for children's imagination
B．will be accepted by more people
C．used to be a lot of fun
D．is not worth living
31．What would be the best title for the text？B
A．The future of television
B．Turning off TV：a quiet hour

7．London started its first major bike hire scheme （方案） on July 30th．Transport For London （TFL），the agency responsible for moving people around England's capital，put 5，000bicycles in 400different places around the city．
The idea is to cut traffic，reduce pollution and provide a greener way of getting around London's streets．The scheme had a few small problems on its first day as people could not lock the bikes properly once they had finished riding them．As a gesture of goodwill，London Mayor Boris Johnson announced all rentals （租金） on the first day would be free of charge．The bikes are available for free for the first 30minutes but costs go up sharply since then．Renters have to pay﹩1.60for the first hour and﹩78for 24hours．The bikes are clearly designed for very short trips．
TFL says it sees a"cycle revolution"happening in London．It predicts there will be around 40，000new cycle journeys every day on the rental bikes．Mr．Johnson says he wants to see a return to the turn of the 20th century，when 20per cent of journeys in London were made by bicycle．The scheme has received a lot of positive feedback （反馈） in the first two days．
Many Londoners believe it is a great alternative （替代品） to London's overcrowded and overpriced trains and buses．One person，Andy Clark，told the Reuters news agency，"It's a great idea．I've seen it operating in Paris and Barcelona and thought why don't we have one？"The Londonist Blog said the bikes were very strong and were"designed to bear a beating from both careless cyclists and drunken people"．

6．Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends．They believe that their family members，especially their parents，don't know them as well as their friends do．In large families，it is often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for advice．It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or many friends．Even when they are not with their friends，they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone．This communication is very important in children's growing up，because friends can discuss something difficult to say to their family members．

4．There once was a very wealthy man who had made great achievement．He had more money than he could ever spend，and he was admired and looked up to by his neighbors．Still，he knew that something was missing in his life．He wasn't happy．All his life he had been striving for happiness，but he had never been able to find it．
