Two traveling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family.  The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the guest room.  Instead the angels were given a space in the cold basement.  As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it.  When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied, “Things aren’t always what they seem. ”

The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable (好客的)farmer and his wife.  After sharing what little food they had, the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night’s rest.  When the sun came up the next morning, the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears.  Their only cow, whose milk had been their only income, lay dead in the field.  

The younger angel was very angry and asked the older angel, “How could this happen? Why did you not watch out for the cow? The first man had everything, yet you watched over his house,” she accused.  “The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you did not help. ”

“Things aren’t always what they seem,” the older angel replied.  “When we stayed in the basement, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall.  Since the owner was so greedy and unwilling to share his good fortune, I asked God if I could seal the wall so he couldn’t find it.  Then last night as we slept in the farmer’s bed, the angel of death came for his wife.  I ask God if the angel could take the cow instead.  Things aren’t always what they seem. ”

A machine which makes water out of air could become the greatest household  invention since the microwave.

  Using the same technology as a dehumiditier(除湿器),the Water Mill is able to create a ready supply of drinking water by getting it from a limitless source-the air.

  The company behind the machine says not only does it offer all alternative to

bottled water in developed countries,but it is a solution for the millions who face a dally water shortage.

  The machine works by drawing in damp air through a filter and over a cooling element which changes it into water droplets.It call produce up to 12 liters a day.The Water Mill will also produce more water when storms pass over, as the humidity(湿度)in the air increases.In keeping with its eco development,the machine uses the same amount of electricity as three fight bulbs.

    Inventor Jonathan Ritchey said:‘'The demand for water is off the chart.People are looking for freedom from water distribution systems that are shaky and unreliable”.

    The machine,which is about 3 feet wide,is likely to cost£800 when it goes on sale here in the spring.Its maker, Canadian firm Element Four, estimates(估计)that a liter of water will cost around 20 pence to produce.

    Environmentalists claim half the world’s population will face water shortage because of climate change by 2080.One in five humans is said to lack access to safe drinking water.

    The Water Millis not effective in areas with below about 30 percent relative humidity, but with average relative humidity in England of more than 70 percent that won’t be much of an issue here.

 

63.According to the author, the biggest advantage of the machine is its        

  A little power use  B.proper size    C.unlimited source   D.high production

64.We can conclude from the passage that the machine         

A.can be used everywhere

C.has not been on sale

B.will replace the water distribution system

D.will solve the problem of water shortage

65.What is necessary for the machine to work?

   A.  Enough air.  B.Enough humidity.  C.Enough water.D.Enough containers.

66.What would be the best title for this passage?

    A.Machine to Make Water out of Air    B.Microwave for Household Use

    C.Filter to Draw in Damp Air               D.Modem Dehumidifier on Sale
