It’s Tuesday afternoon, and I’m in Rheinburg, Germany, visiting the Extra Future Store. The “store of the future” is attracting a lot of attention these days– but not for it’s prices. Instead, people are coming from all over to experience a new way to shop.
The experience is less like shopping in a supermarket and more like playing some kind of high–tech game. It starts as I enter the store and choose a shopping cart(購物車). First, I swipe my store ID card through a computer on the cart. The computer’s screen comes on, a map of the store shows, and the journey begins.
As I shop, antennas(天線) around the store send information about different specials to the computer on my cart. Attracted by one of the ads, I choose a box of cheese. I hold up the box to the computer. It displays the price and also suggests that a certain type of bread would be good with it. The map on my chart shows me where to find the bread. It’s like the store is helping me to shop.
How does the store make this kind of shopping experience possible? The answer is radio frequency identification chip (or RFID射頻識別). Each chip has a special number. Using an RFID reader on the computer, we can get information from a chip about the product(產(chǎn)品). RFID will help shoppers find the things in a store more quickly– products that are just right for them. In addition, people won’t have to wait in long lines to pay. The things in your cart will be read by the computer and the money will be paid by your store ID card automatically(自動地). So you can simply walk out of the store with your shopping bags.
Sounds good, right? Maybe you will experience the new shopping soon in your city.
小題1:Why are so many people coming to the Extra Future Store?
A．They hope to buy a new kind of computers.
B．They want to play some new high– tech games.
C．They expect to experience a new way of shopping.
D．They plan to learn how to use the FRID readers.

③Walk out of the store without waiting in lines.
④The computer shows you a map and some ads.
⑤Hold up the things to the computer to be charged.
A．②①④③⑤B．①②⑤③④C．②①⑤③④D．②④①⑤③
小題3:What are Not so necessary for this kind of new stores?
A．Carts with computers.B．RFID readers.
C．Many shop assistants.D．Good products.
小題4: Which of the following is the advantage of this new store?
A．The things in the shop are much cheaper.

C．You will buy more things than you really need.

What do people do with their old, useable but outdated(過時的) computers? Most people don’t know what to do with them. Many old computers end up gathering(聚集) dust in homes. Many more are thrown out with the trash.
Finally, some computers are thinking of ways to reduce(減少) the amount of computer junk. Sony has agreed to help recycle（回收）old Sony products. Dell, Hewlett-Packard and others now also take back some equipment.
Laws（法律）are being passed, too. In Europe, computer companies will have to pay for collecting and recycle old Sony products. And 70% of computer waste must be recycled. The idea behind the laws is that computer companies themselves should pay the cost.
Yet while many people are throwing away good computers, others cannot afford them at all. Hundreds of organizations are working to solve this problem. These groups collect and repair old computers. Some also teach computer repair skills.
The computers then go to schools, charities(慈善機構(gòu)) and needy individuals. Giving a used computer to one of these organizations can turn one person’s trash into someone else’s treasure(財富) and cut down on waste, too.
小題1:Nobody knows what to do with their old computer.
小題2:Many old computers are in homes, covered with dust.
小題3:Dell is one of the companies which are thinking of ways to reduce the amount of computer junk.
小題4:If computer companies want to collect and recycle their used products, they have to pay money.
小題5:Hundreds of organizations only collect and repair old computers
小題6:The story talks about ways to deal with used computers.

Parking has been a problem for drivers for a long time in Taizhou. The Transportation Department(交通部門) is mapping out a new plan for the city’s parking system. There are about 100 thousand cars on the road inTaizhou but only enough parking space to provide room for 15 percent of these vehicles. It is no wonder that local drivers get so worried trying to find a place to park.
The number of the private(私人的) car owners is becoming lager and larger. In March, the city sent out 1,000 private car licenses, the highest number of licenses ever sent out in a month. And prices rose to over 200 yuan, 500 more than in February. Industry experts(專家) say this suggests that local people have a strong, active interest in buying cars.
By the year 2020, the number of cars in Taizhou will probably reach 200 thousand. If one parking lot（停車場） is for each car, then a lot of parking space should be built for these vehicles. The center of Taizhou is most short of parking space. However, experts point out that simply building more parking lots in these areas is not practical and doesn’t solve the problem. The idea of “ Park & Ride” system has been suggested. This means that underground train and city train should be developed quickly. Drivers can leave their vehicles in car parks nearby subway(地鐵) and bus stations and then they can ride public transport to go to the city center. Based on this idea, the city will cut down the number of parking lots in the city center and need higher parking fees(費用). But it will build more parking areas near main subway and bus stops.
小題1:The underlined phrase “ mapping out ” in the first paragraph means _____.
A．makingB．a(chǎn)rguingC．replyingD．comparing
小題2:About _____ drivers can find places to park their cars in Taizhou now.

In America, when people say “man's best friend”, they don't mean another person. Instead, they are talking about a lovely animal—a dog! These words show the friendship between people and animals. Dogs and other pets can give joy to people's lives. Some people think of their pets as their children. Some people even leave all their money to their pets when they die!
Animals can help people, too. Dogs can be taught to be the “eyes” for a blind person (盲人) or “ears” for a deaf(耳聾) person. Scientists have found that pets help people live longer! They make people happier, too. Because of that, they bring animals into hospitals for “visits”.
Americans hold “Be Kind to Animals Week” in the first week of May. Pet shows are held during the week. Even if you don't live in America, you, too, can do this. How? First think about how animals make your life richer. If you have a pet, take more time this week to play with it. Remember to give it delicious food.
If you don't have a pet, be kind to animals around you. For example, if you see a street dog, just leave it alone, or make friends with it. If others around you do bad things to animals, try to speak up. As people, we must protect animals who can't speak for themselves.

It is reported by Chinese Xinhua News that students waste more food than the national average. So the campaign on school food waste is getting popular across the country. The move is part of a national campaign started by students at different schools.
At East China University of Science, students who finish their food in the school dining hall get a special card when they return their plates after meals. Students can collect cards and exchange them for small gifts, such as books, schoolbags, magazines and umbrellas. “It’s been such a surprise,” said Liang Zhaoyun, 19, a student in Shanghai. “It has given us one more motivation to eat up our food.”
“The purpose of the campaign is not only to encourage students to finish their food. We hope it can also teach students to choose a more environment-friendly and healthy lifestyle,” said Tao Siliang from University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Other schools also pay attention to the quantity of food. At Nanjing No.9 Middle School, rice is divided into three different-sized bowls that students can choose from according to their own need. “It’s great because I can try different dishes at half price and don’t waste so much food,” said Fan Peng, 15, a student from this middle school.
What if you really can’t finish all your food? At Changchun Normal College, they provide a take-away service. “If you can’t finish all your food, you can get a box to take the left food home. Even if you feed the cat, it’s not wasted,” said Zhou Zeyong, a student who learns Chinese education.
“I’m happy that we’ve cut down waste since joining the school ‘eat-up’ meeting. But some food is poorly cooked, meaning that students are not willing to finish it all. Some schools have taken note of this. So if we hope students try to waste less food, we should also improve the service and keep an eye on the meal quality on weekdays at school. If not, you can’t complain students for throwing away much food,” said Wang Guangji, the head-teacher of Beijing No. 29 Middle School.
小題1:Why did we start the campaign on food waste at schools?  Because __________.
A．food waste at school is very serious.
B．students should not eat more food
C．it is students’ duty to eat less food
D．it’s easy for schools to start a campaign
小題2:Who can get some gifts at East China University of Science?
A．Students who buy some special cards.
B．Students who eat up all the food.
C．Students who do some dishes.
D．Students who spend money on gifts.
小題3:What’s Tao Siliang’s idea in the passage?
A．Getting small gifts is surprising.
B．Different-sized bowls make students happy.
C．Students should take a healthy lifestyle.
D．It’s a good idea to feed a cat with left food.
小題4:Which of the followings is true according to the passage?
A．The campaign is only to encourage students to eat up food.
B．We try to think up many good ways to help clear plates.
C．We will make notes if students waste much food again.
D．We shouldn’t complain students for throwing away food
