       Bernice Gallego sat down one day this summer, as she does pretty much every day, and began listing items on eBay.She dug into a box and pulled out a baseball card.She stopped for a moment and admired the picture.“Red Stocking B.B.Club of cincinnati,” the card read, under the reddish brown color photo of 10 men with their socks pulled up to their knees.

As a collector and seller, it's her job to spot old items that might have value today.It's what Bernice, 72, and her husband, Al Gallego, 80, have been doing since 1974 at their California antique (古玩) store.

       This card, she figured, was worth selling on eBay.She took a picture, wrote a description and put it up for auction (拍卖).She put a $10 price tag on it, deciding against $15 because it would have cost her an extra 20 cents.Later that night she got a few odd inquiries—someone wanting to know whether the card was real, someone wanting her to end the auction and sell him the card immediately.

       The card is actually 139 years old.Sports card collectors call the find "extremely rare" and estimate the card could fetch five, or perhaps, six figures at auction.

       Just like that, Bemice is the least likely character ever for a rare-baseball card story."I didn't even know baseball existed that far back," Gallego says, "I don't think that I've ever been to a baseball game." The theory is that the card came out of a storage space they bought a few years back.It is not uncommon in their line of work to buy the entire contents of storage units for around $200.

       When she met with card trader Rick Mirigian, she found out what the card was—an 1869 advertisement with a picture of the first professional baseball team, the Cincinnati Red Stockings.

       "When I came to meet her and she took it out of a sandwich bag and she was smoking a cigarette, I almost fainted," Mirigian says."They've uncovered a piece of history that few people will ever be able to imagine.That card is history.It's like unearthing a Mona Lisa or a Picasso."

1.What can we conclude from Paragraph 3?

       A.Bernice had to pay some fees for her card on eBay.

       B.Bernice wanted to end the auction that night.

       C.Bernice decided to sell the card for $15.

       D.eBay charged her 20 cents for the card.

2.The underlined word "fetch" in Paragraph 4 most probably means "____".

       A.go and bring       B.add up to           C.go down to        D.be sold for

3.From the passage, we may learn that ____.

       A.Bernice is a baseball fan

       B.Bernice is the last person to purchase the rare-baseball card

       C.Bernice unexpectedly became the owner of the rare-baseball card

       D.Bernice didn't realize the value of the card until she put it up for auction

4.What would be the best title for the passage?

       A.A Surprisingly Valuable Discovery

       B.Bemice Gallego—A Lucky Collector

       C.Sports Card Collectors

      D.The History of the Baseball Card

       You don’t have to ask Barack Obama what it is like to be a president-elect.Chances are you can be one, too, and it won’t take more than 30 years’ efforts to achieve that.

       A new computer game, Commander in Chief, offers the chance to step into the president’s shoes and see whether you can do a better job running the country than he can.

       The video game will be available on January 20, the day Obama is sworn in (宣誓就职) as president.

       So what will you do in the game?

       Like Obama, your early task is to select members of the Cabinet(内阁)from 250 personality types.Then you immediately face internal(国内的)and external(对外的) challenges.Every decision you make has an in-game consequence.

       “You can put your own political theories into action and see the domestic(国内的)and international effect,” said the lead designer Louis-Marie Rocques.

Internal decisions involve managing budgets, security, education, health care and discussion over many proposed laws.You also have to respond to critics.Every decision has a consequence, which changes the political environment.For example, raising taxes will raise criticisms and protests while lowering taxes means you will have less money to play with.

       What about external decisions? Well, you have to deal with military issues, global economics, trade agreements, and spending time lobbying(游说)other presidents.You can determine the course of world events by invading(侵略)a neutral country, or toppling(推翻)an unfriendly country but then you must face the economic, political, and military consequences.

       Don’t want to be president of the US? The game also lets you become virtual(虚拟的)leader of other countries including France, Germany, Spain and Russia.

1.The purpose of writing this passage is mainly to    

       A.show you how hard it is to be the newly-elected president, Barack Obama

       B.explain why the video game is so popular among American citizens

       C.introduce to you one special computer game, Commander in Chief

2.Which of the following items belongs to internal affairs in the game?

A.Managing budgets, responding to critics and military issues.

       B.Managing budgets, raising taxes and trade agreements.

       D.Education, security and lobbying other countries.

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

       A.Those who want to be a president one day will get a taste of their private life.

       B.The first task in the game is to form the Cabinet consisting of 250 members.

       C.The video game has hit the stores in America and enjoys sales success.

       D.Like a real president, the players will face challenges at home and abroad

COOL INVENTIONS

From school to band Practice, the Venturi Eclectic is an Earth-friendly way to get Where you want to go.This battery-powered, zero-emission (meaning it doesn't pollute the air) vehicle runs mainly on renewable energy.Solar panels on the Eclectic's roof absorb sun rays when you're driving.On windy days, you can connect a machine to the car's roof that collects energy from the wind while you're parked.The Eclectic's top speed is 28 miles an hour; the battery lasts for 31 miles before it needs to be recharged.Zipping (迅速行进) around the neighborhood has never been better.

Here's an eco-friendly way to tell time: Simply fill the Bedol Water-powered Clock's tank (箱) with water, add some lemon juice, and the clock will display the time without the need for environmentally harmful batteries.There are two sets of metal electrodes (电极) inside the water tank.Water contains ions (离子) that carry negative and positive charges.These ions complete a charge between the electrodes, creating enough energy to power the clock.Just refill the tank every few weeks, and this clock will keep on ticking.

Bloodhound SuperSonic Car (SSC) will be the first car to attempt to break the l,000-mile-an-hour barrier.(The current record is 763 miles an hour.) A concept for now, the rocket-shaped car gets its initial push to 350 miles an hour from a jet engine.Then a rocket fires up, pushing the SSC past 1,000 miles an hour.In order to keep the car streamlined (流线型的), the driver lies back at a 45-degree angle.

You're having a blast at your friend's birthday party.But when it's time to bring out the cake, everyone crowds around, blocking your view.No worries.Throw the Triops into the air, and this clever camera captures the view from above.The Triops can take three pictures at once, each from different angles.You can also record sounds and command the Triops to start shooting whenever it hears that noise.That's one smart camera.
