What is the best way to help control air pollution in our towns and cities? Choose public transportation instead of private cars, or reduce the total amount of cars on the street. These can be useful. But here is a more creative way—write a poem.

"I write in praise of air. I was six or five, when a magician opened my fist(拳頭), and I held in my hand the whole of the sky."

Professor Tony Ryan (the science expert) and Professor Simon Armitage(the words expert), from the University of Sheffield, UK, came up with the idea.

But in fact, the poem is not the key part. It is the poster that the poem was written on that plays the biggest part. The poster is 10 meters by 20 meters. It is coated with nanoparticles(納米粒) of titanium dioxide (二氧化鈦). It can absorb the waste from around 20 cars each day if you put it by a busy road. The poster is now displayed on one of the University of Sheffield's buildings.

It doesn't get rid of all the pollutants from traffic, but it will eat up things called nitrogen oxides (氧化氮). These play a part in breathing problems, including asthma(哮喘).

The technology is cheap. "It would add less than 100 to the cost of a poster and would turn advertisements into catalysts(催化劑) in more ways than one," Ryan told the BBC.

He's also working on another idea, which is to add the nanoparticles to washing powder, so that your clothes soak up these poisons while you walk along. And you wouldn't be able to see or feel anything different.

【1】Why can the poem help control air pollution?

A.Because it can warn people of the dangers of pollution.

B.Because the poster that the poem was written on is special.

C.Because it has pictures that explain air pollution.

D.Because Professor Tony Ryan and Professor Simon Armitage are famous.

【2】Which of the following is NOT true of the poster?

A.It is 10 meters by 20 meters.

B.It is coated with nanoparticles.

C.It can absorb the waste from cars.

D.It's widely used in the UK.

【3】From the last two paragraphs, we learn that .

A.the technology costs too much

B.it would make advertisements cheaper

C.washing powder may one day soak up poisons

D.you would feel different wearing the clothes

【題目】

The death of Steve Jobs provides a chance to take some lessons from his amazing life. Steve Jobs had a passion(激情) for education. He may be gone, but we still have a chance to learn from his courage and innovation(革新).

Making Mistakes

I think that the main reason why we can't find proper ways to improve the education system that no longer serves us well is simply fear. Fear of failure. Fear of getting it wrong. Teachers fear that innovation could endanger their jobs. Steve had the attitude we need in education right now. "Sometimes when you create something, you make mistakes. It is best to admit(承認(rèn)) them and get on with improving your other innovations." That's the kind of spirit that we need to have.

Motivation(動機) Matters

We've concentrated(專注于) so much on results that we don't always reward good motivations. But these things are very important. In our schools, we've cared so much about test results that we've lost creativity. We don't reward students for their hard work, and we punish failure. As a result, we lost imagination and found no motivation to try something that has a chance of ending in failure.

What Defines(定義) Failure?

The company that Steve Jobs started in 1985 after being forced out of Apple shows us how technology could influence educational innovation. In 1985 he started NeXT. The company was providing computers for educational purposes. NeXT wasn't really financially(經(jīng)濟上) successful. But it may have been ahead of its time. Today, we see what the technology brings into the classroom.

Changing Our Model

The company sold around 50,000 computers. But that would be missing the point. It was a NeXT cube workstation that encouraged the first web server. It helped in the development of early Internet technology. Truly, Steve Jobs has taught us that results are not the most important things in life.

【1】The article tells us making mistakes .

A.is always something very bad

B.will help us become better people

C.is a part of making something new

D.will keep us from reaching our dreams

【2】We may lose our creativity and imagination if we .

A.make a lot of mistakes

B.fail to have a right model

C.can't be financially successful

D.concentrate too much on results

【3】Steve Jobs might agree that .

A.a good motivation can lead to a successful result

B.we shouldn't be afraid of failure and it can lead to success

C.making money is the only way to judge success

D.having a passion is the most important thing for success

【4】According to the article, which word can best describe Steve Jobs' spirit?

A.Passion.B.Motivation.C.Innovation.D.Creativity.
