  Sam is not yet 2.He watches almost no TV and is taken on daily walks through the zoo, so it was not surprising when he pointed to an elephant and said,“Ella.”What was unexpected was when he pointed to his diaper(尿布)and said, “Elmo.”

  In Sam's world, Elmo doesn't live on Sesame Street.He is the cheerful face of Pampers, printed on the waistband, requested at every change.The little image has made Pampers Sam's diaper of choice and Pampers supplier Procter & Gamble very happy.If Sam's interest holds, his parents will buy more than 2,000 worth of Pampers before their son is potty(便壺)trained.And, the chances are, others who love Sam will encourage that change with the Sesame Street Potty Elmo and over time so large an amount of Elmo equipment that Sam's family may feel they live on the street.

  Sam is but one of the army of tiny consumers.In the United States, children recognize product patterns by 18 months, according to Boston College professor Juliet Schor, and, by 2, many ask for products by brand name.Some parents report that baby's first word was not “mama”or“dada”but“Coke”-which makes sense considering that 26 percent of kids 2 and under have a TV in their room and the average American child sees some 40,000 advertisements a year.That in turn helps explain why the United States, with 4.5 percent of the world's population, buys 45 percent of the global toy production.American kids get an average of 70 new toys a year, calculates Schor, who surveyed 300 children for her new book, Born to Buy.

Biomass energy (生物能).often forgotten as a promising alternative (替代物) to oil, received its day in the sun with the gathering of the Bio-Energy World Congress and Exposition in Atlanta, Georgia, late in April, 1990. Nearly 1, 700 scien??tists, businessmen, and policy-makers, one-quarter from the foreign nations, gathered for a week to discuss various means of squeezing usable energy out of trees, crops, manure, sea??weed, algae, and urban waste. Biomass in the United States contributes 2. 5 percent of the total supply, but this amount can be doubled by 2000 and then doubled again by the year 2010.

Eight percent of Sweden’s energy supply, for example, is presently coming from wood bark and pulp remainings, Sweden intends to raise this percentage by more intensive harvesting of waste food lying around in forests, and through the planting of so-called energy forests of fast-growing trees such as willow and birch.

Brazil is frequently pointed to as a nation with a major successful investment (投資)in energy coming from grains: it presently runs 330,000 automobiles on a water and alcohol (酒精) mixture, replacing 10 percent of its previous oil sup??ply. Brazilian representatives (代表) at the conference said they wish to double this in five years, with a final goal of total replacement. Most of the cars are built at the factory to use the mixture, while older models are changed through low-cost gov??ernment programs.

A. came to the public mind                     B. had its turn in the sunlight

A. 1, 700 scientists attended the conference.

B. A quarter of American businessmen were present at the conference.

C. Foreign policy-makers accounted for a quarter.

D. Three-quarters of the representatives were from the U. S.

6. Of the total supply in 2010, biomass in the U. S. will be________.

A. 5%               B.20%               C.10%               D.15%

7. Which of the following is not regarded as biomass energy?

A. Willow and seaweed.                      B. Wood and grains.

閱讀理解。
     Until late in the 20th century, most Americans spent time with people of different generations. Now middle-
aged Americans may not keep in touch with old people until they are old themselves.
     That's because we group people by age. We put our three-year-olds together in day-care centers, our 13-
year-olds in schools and sports activities, and our 80-year-olds in senior citizen homes. Why?
     We live away from the old for many reasons. Young people sometimes avoid the old to get rid of fears of
aging and dying. It is much harder to watch someone we love disappear before our eyes. Sometimes it's so
hard that we stay away from the people who need us the most.
     Fortunately, some of us have found our way to the old. And we have discovered that they often save the
young.
     A reporter moved her family onto a block filled with old people. At first her children were disappointed. But
the reporter baked banana bread for the neighbors and had her children deliver it and visit. Soon the children
had many new friends, with whom they shared food, stories and projects. "My children have never been less
lonely," the reporter said.
     The young, in turn, save the old. Once I was in a rest home when a visitor showed up with a baby, she was
immediately surrounded. People who hadn't gotten out of bed in a week suddenly were ringing for a wheelchair.
Even those who had seemed asleep woke 'up to watch the child. Babies have an astonishing power to comfort
and cure. Grandparents are a special case. They give their grandchildren a feeling of security and continuity. As
my husband put it, "My grandparents gave me a deep sense that things would turn out right in the end."
     Grandchildren speak of attention they don't get from worried parents. "My parents were always telling me
to hurry up, and my grandparents told me to slow down," one friend said. A teacher told me she can tell which
pupils have relationships with grandparents: they are quieter, calmer and more trusting.
1. Now in an American family, people can find that _____.
[     ]
A. children never live with their parents
B. not all working people live with their parents
C. aged people are supported by their grandchildren
D. grandchildren are supported by their grandparents
2. The reason that old people are left alone may be that _____.
[     ]
A. the old don't like to live in a big family
B. the young can't get enough money to sup-port the old
C. different generations have different lifestyles
D. the old are too weak to live with the young
3. The fact the reporter told us shows that _____.
[     ]
A. old people in America lead a hard life
B. old people in America enjoy banana bread
C. she had no rime to take care of her children
D. old people are easy to get along with
4. Seeing a baby, the old people got excited because _____.
[     ]
A. they had never seen a baby before
B. the baby was clever and beautiful
C. the baby brought them the image of life
D. the baby's mother would take care of them
5. Why are some children quieter, calmer and more trusting?
[     ]
A. Because they have relationships with their grandparents.
B. Because their worried parents ask them to act like that.
C. Because they have nothing to worry about.
D. Because their teachers ask them to act like that.
