12．After his wife left home to visit her mother，David closed the door slowly，expecting a whole day to relax．He was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favourite TV talk show on his first day off in months．"This will be like a walk in the park，"he'd told his wife．"I'll look after the kids，and you can go visit your mom．"
Things started well，but just after eight o'clock，his three little"good kids"-Mike，Randy，and Alex-came down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted"breakfast，daddy．"When food had not appeared within thirty seconds，Randy began using his spoon on Alex's head as if it were a drum．Alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat（节拍）．Mike chanted（吟唱）"Where's my toast，where's my toast"in the background．David realized his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds．
Life became worse after breakfast．Mike wore Randy's underwear on his head．Randy locked himself in the bathroom，while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet his pants．Nobody could find clean socks，although they were before their very eyes．Someone named"Not Me"had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes．David knew the talk show had already started．
By ten o'clock，things were out of control．Alex was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter．Mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating（装饰） the kitchen wall with his colour pencils．Randy，thankfully，appeared to be reading quietly in the family room，but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands．David realised that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible．
At exactly 11：17，David called the daycare centre （日托所）．"I suddenly have to go into work and my wife's away．Can I bring the boys over in a few minutes？"The answer was obviusly"yes"because David was smiling．

10．My grandfather is a great man．He is very kind．He often plays with us．For his grandchildren，it is a real pleasure to be around him．However，my grandfather lived with regrets that had kept annoying him for many years．I did not know anything about his regrets，because those kinds of things were far outside the field of a young child's vision（视野）．
As I grew up，I came to know that his past life was filled with drinking．He regretted his unhealthy lifestyle that had made him ignore his wife and children．Thankfully，he decided to change and later he became a non-drinker．But he always regretted his years of drinking and couldn't forget what he had done．
Last year，as his favorite grandson，I decided to do something for him．One day，I tried to have a talk with him．As I started to talk with him，I mentioned how much he meant to me---his kindness and his ability to make our life full of happiness．I told him he was no longer like what he had been．He had changed，and changed for the better．I didn't seem to get through to him at first． So I continued，"Grandpa，I can only tell you that guilt（内疚） without making a change is wrong．But carrying guilt after you have changed to much a better person means living in the past．It is wrong，too．"
From then on，my grandfather slowly changed and he finally stopped living in regrets．Now，"Live in the present and forget about the past"seems to be the words he often says when we regret our past．He is right．We should live in the present，facing the duty at hand without regret for the past or worry over the future．

9．There's no doubt that our character has a profound effect on our future．What we must remember，however，is not merely how powerful character is in influencing our fate （命运），but how powerful we are in shaping our own character and，therefore，our own fate．Character may determine our fate，but character is not determined by fate．
It's a common mistake to think of character as something that is fully formed and fixed very early in life．It calls to mind old proverbs like"A leopard can't change its spots"and"You can't teach an old dog new tricks．"
This perspective that our character is"etched in stone"is supported by a great deal of modern psychology emphasizing self-acceptance．As Popeye says，"I am what I am．"The hidden message is：Don't expect me to be better or different．
Ultimately，these views of humanity totally undervalue the lifelong potential for growth that comes with the power of reflection and choice．
How depressing it would be to believe that we can't choose to be better，more honest，more respectful，more responsible，and more caring．None of us should give up the personal seeking to improve our character．Not because we're bad，we don't have to be sick to get better，but because we're not as good as we could be．
There are so many things in life we can't control，whether we're beautiful or smart，whether we had good parents or bad，whether we grew up with affirmation or negation．It's inspiring to remember that nothing but moral will power is needed to make us better．
No，it isn't easy．But if we make a great effort to become more aware of the habits of heart and mind that drive our behavior，we can begin to place new emphasis on our higher values so that we become what we want our children to think we are．

8．Researchers around the world have been trying their hand at making better use of the huge amount of wind energy available in nature to produce clean energy．Apart from this，studies are being carried out to harness（利用） usable wind energy produced by man-made technologies．
One useful source identified by Indian inventor Santosh Pradhan about two years ago is a speeding train，which produces fierce wind that can be transformed into electricity．
According to Pradhan's proposal，with a few small improvements in existing trains running in Mumbai，the largest city in India，at least 10，000megawatts（兆瓦） of electricity could be harvested each day．
Building on this principle，designers Ale Leonetti Luparinia and Qian Jiang from Yanko Design have created a device（装置） called T-Box that harnesses wind energy from speeding trains．
T-Box can be placed within the railway tracks．It is half-buried underground between the concrete sleepers（水泥枕木），which does not disturb the normal train operating at all．According to Yanko，around 150T-Boxes can be fitted along a 1，000-meter railway track．
A train running at a speed of 200kph can produce winds blowing at 15miles a second．Based on this calculation，150T-Boxes can produce 2.6KWH of electricity per day．The T-Box's design won a silver medal in last year's Lite-On Awards and was exhibited last summer at the Xue Xue Institute in Taipei，Taiwan Province．
Though the figures look impressive，it is important to remember that the design is still at a conceptual stage and hasn't taken into account issues such as pieces of waste material produced by the device and the efforts and costs involved in the maintenance（维护） of the device．
We can expect the technology to see the light of the day only after it clears these issues．If so，rail travel，one of the greenest forms of travel，will become greener and more energy-efficient．
46．What can we learn about T-Box？A
A．It is based on Pradhan's idea．
B．It will be fitted on the trains．
C．It can turn electricity into light．
D．It was invented by an Indian scientist．
47．How much electricity can be produced per day by T-Boxes along a railway track of 100km？A
A.260KWH．
B.2.6KWH．
C.150KWH．
D.1.5KWH．
48．It can be concluded from the last two paragraphs thatC．
A．T-Box has proved to be effective in harvesting wind
B．the maintenance of T-Box will be costly
C．there is much to do about T-Box
D．T-Box will come into use soon
49．According to the passage，which of the following statements is TRUE？B
A．The Indian inventor Santosh Pradhan invented the speeding train．
B．The T-Box's design won a silver medal in Lite-On Awards last year．
