A kitchen that gives step-by-step cooking instructions in French could inspire a revolution in language learning in the UK. By using a new technology, it speaks to you as you prepare a French dish. The kitchen breaks new ground by taking language learning out of the classroom and linking it with an enjoyable and rewarding real-life activity.

The new kitchen is designed to be used in schools, universities and even people’s homes. It could also be an existing kitchen. The first version of the technology was tested in the kitchens of project partner Newcastle University. The kitchen could be available for schools and universities, and for the UK market by the June of 2014.

The Newcastle University team is now working on ways to put it on the market. And the European Union has given money to begin programs in six other languages, including English Italian and Spanish. Finally, versions could be developed for any language cuisine（烹饪法）in the world.

Professor Paul says, “By international standards, the UK students are now poor when it comes to learning languages—a problem that certainly has an economic influence. We believe that developing skills in a country’s language and its cuisine will help change the trend.”

On a computer fixed into the kitchen, the user first selects the French recipe（菜谱）they want to follow. Digital sensors built into dishes, containers and other equipment then communicate with the computer to make sure the right instructions are given at the right time, the user can ask the computer to repeat an instruction, or translate it into English, simply by pressing the touch screen. After cooking, the user can test what they have learned by carrying out a short test on the computer.

All grammar and vocabulary has been carefully selected to make sure that using the kitchen adds to basic proficiency（熟练）in understanding French.

Now three easy-carrying versions of the kitchen are being prepared. They’re to be fixed in Newcastle University and at Institute Francais, a London-based charity devoted to teaching the French language.

1.The new kitchen is designed mainly to __________.

A. increase people’s interest in cooking

3.When a person is using the kitchen, ___________.

C. the cooking process will stop if he goes wrong

D. he must be careful so as not to make mistakes

On June 15th，2012，millions of people watched as 33?year?old Nik Wallenda walked across one of the world's greatest waterfalls on a tightrope(钢丝)．What made the 25－minute walk that was televised live and watched by over 13 million people worldwide even more amazing，is that it was done over the Niagara Falls－An action that had never been attempted before.

Even though Nik was wearing a harness(保护带)，a safety measure provided by ABC，the television network that broadcast the event，his action to keep his balance against the strong winds made for some heart－stopping(令人担忧的) moments for the audience.

Nik，however，never slowed down for even one moment.Wearing special shoes made by his mother，he remained totally focused on the job at hand.It was only when he got to the last stretch near Canada's Table Rock that he knelt down on one knee and finally broke into a smile.Waving and blowing kisses to the cheering audience，he knew he had accomplished a great task，which most people had thought impossible.

While he described the whole experience as peaceful and relaxing，Nik said his biggest challenges came from a totally unexpected source－his 40 pound balancing pole.The balancing pole was so heavy that he could hardly carry it on the tightrope.

One would think that now that Nik has realized his lifelong dream he would be ready to hang up his “balancing pole”．However，the adventurer who already has seven Guinness World Records under his belt，is just getting started－Next up? A 5，000－foot tightrope walk across the Grand Canyon.While the one across the Niagara Falls took years of planning because he had to convince the US and Canadian officials，this one should happen in the very near future.That's because，the Florida resident has already been granted(授予) a permit by the Canyon officials.

1.Why did so many people fix their attention on the event?

A．Because it was done by Nik Wallenda.

B．Because nobody had done it there before.

C．Because it was broadcast live by ABC.

D．Because it was impossible to do the event.

2.What made the audience hold their breath during Nik's performance?

A．How Nik managed to cross the Niagara Falls with safety measure.

B．What Nik would do when he lost his balance on the tightrope.

C．How Nik kept his balance against the strong winds.

D．How long Nik will take to finish the event.

3.What was the greatest difficulty for him to face in Nik view?

A．The supplied tightrope.

B．The safety belt.

C．The balancing pole.

D．The audience's noise.

D．The Grand Canyon is a dream for Nik.

The breaking news of Mo Yan's Nobel Prize in Literature on Thursday evening soon aroused public curiosity of the 57?year?old Chinese writer: Why was it him that was favored by the Swedish Academy?

Born in 1955 into a rural family，Mo dropped out of school and became a farmer when he was a teenager.He joined the military and devoted himself to writing after the Cultural Revolution (1966－1976)．

Less than half an hour after the announcement，Mo's works turned to sold?out status at China's major online book sellers.One lucky buyer wrote in an online comment: “Rushed to purchase，but to my shame，I have not read any of his novels.”

Although Mo was entitled one of the top domestic literature awards before the Nobel Prize，he is not the most popular novelist in China，in either the book market or in reputation.

Mo's novel “Big Breasts & Wide Hips，” translated by Howard Goldblatt，tells a story of a mother who struggled and suffered hardship and intertwined fates with Chinese people in the 20th century.His more recent work “Frog” more directly criticized China's one?child family policy，which helped control the country's population explosion but also brought tragedies to rural residents in the past 60 years.

“I think the reason why I could win the prize is because my works present lives with unique Chinese characteristics，and they also tell stories from a viewpoint of common human beings，which is above differences of nations and races，” Mo said on Thursday evening to Chinese journalists.Mo also said many folk arts originated from his hometown，such as clay sculpture，paper cuts，traditional new year paintings，have inspired and influenced his novels.

With more Chinese writers like Mo，the world could learn a more real China.Perhaps，this is another reason for the Swedish Academy's choice.

1.What can we conclude from the second paragraph?

A．Mo's life experiences.　　　　　　　　B．Mo's family life.

C．Mo devoted himself to writing. D．Mo had a gift for writing.

2.What can we infer from the passage?

A．Mo didn't got any national awards before he won the Nobel Prize.

B．Mo was the top novelist in China before he won the Nobel Prize.

C．Mo's novels have attracted many people to read.

D．Mo's novels are all based on his daily life.

3.Which of the following have no effect on Mo's novels according to the passage?

A．Clay sculpture. B．Paper cuts.

C．Folk arts. D．Beijing opera.

4.According to the passage，we know that________．

A．Big Breasts & Wide Hips' leading role is one happy mother

B．Big Breasts & Wide Hips criticized China's one?child family policy

C．Frog came out earlier than Big Breasts & Wide Hips

D．Frog shows benefit as well as shortcoming of one China's policy

The phenomenon is becoming more and more popular that human beings have developed a closely relationship with the most dangerous of animals－Kevin Richardson treats lions like kitty cats，Andre Hartman has a special bond with Great White Sharks and now there is 79?year old Werner Freund who has spent the last 40 years of his life in the company of wolves.

While details about how and why the former paratrooper(伞兵) became attached to these beautiful wild animals are a little summary，he has been tending them in his 25?acre Wolvespark located in the German province of Saarland，since 1972.While he currently has a group of 29，over the years he has raised almost 70 wolves belonging to all breeds(种属) ranging from Siberian to Arctic，Canadian，European and even，Mongolian.The wolves treat Werner as if he were one of their own.They nuzzle(依偎) against him，play with him and are generally sheeplike when he is around，just like they would be around a head wolf!

This，however，is not accidental－It is a position that Werner works on establishing and maintaining with a simple act，every single day－Whenever it's feeding time，he calls his wolves to come for the raw meat by howling.As the hungry animals rush to get their food，they are always met with this scene－Werner sinking his teeth into the raw meat first.While this may sound a little rude，that is how the position of hierarchy(等级) is established in the animal world.It is always the leader male that gets the first meal and only when he signals，can the rest join in.Werner's wolves know this rule quite well and never challenge his authority.

While wolves，the largest member of the dog family，are believed to be dangerous，they rarely attack humans.Werner says that in reality，they are beautiful gentle souls，whose reputation has been tarnished，by fairy tales like Red Riding Hood!

1.We can know________from the first paragraph.

2.What's the best title of the passage?

A．Human beings can get along well with animals

B．Werner Freund and his famous Wolvespark

C．Werner Freund treats his wolves like friends
