Mikio Tanaka is a devoted father----and prove it by taking three months off to care for his baby boy. That makes Tanaka __36__ of a revolutionary in Japan, where men are __37__ known for working long hours and __38__ in the bars with clients than mixing baby milk and changing diapers (尿布).
“It was __39__, but it was also a lot of fun,” Tanaka said, sitting __40__ the living room floor with his 4-month-old son, Daiki, __41__ on his back. “ I saw the first time he __42__. It was a great experience.”
Tanaka, 31, is one of a __43__ number of fathers in Japan who are taking a bigger __44__ inside the home. Men are a __45__ sight with kids at parks and zoos at weekends, though often __46__ yawning. Books and magazines __47__ fathers on how to play with and care for their kids. For Japan’s __48__ housewives, the changing is too late. In Tanaka’s case, his wife, Ayako, 28, was __49__ to take a full year of leave , for she was a school teacher.
__50__ for Tanaka, a department chief at his company had taken the __51__ leave a few years before, so his plan to __52__ three months unpaid leave was not a total shock to his __53__. Ayako took three months off for Daiki, then it was Tanaka’s __54__ when she went back to work. Daiki started day care full-time at __55__ month. Tanaka said at that time he was able to work again.

One day I jumped into a taxi and took off for the airport.
We were driving in the right lane   36   suddenly a black car jumped out of a
parking space   37   in front of us. My taxi driver immediately put his foot on the   38  . The taxi slid a short distance quickly and   39   the other car by just inches! The driver of the black car moved his head around and started   40   at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy; and I mean he was   41   friendly, which is truly beyond my expectation.
  42   I asked, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost  43   your car

He   46   that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, disappointment, frustration (挫敗感) and   47  . As their garbage   48  , they need a place to dump (丟棄) it and sometimes they’ll dump it on   49  . Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move   50 . Don’t take it   51  . Don’t take their garbage and   52   it to other people at work, at home or on the streets.

One evening in February 2007 . a student named Paula Ceely brought her car to a stop on a remote in Wales . She got out to open a metal gate that blocked her path . That's when she heard the whistle sounded by the driver of a train.Her Renault Clio parked across a railway line. Second later,she watched  the train drag her car almost a kilometre down the railway tracks.
Ceely's near miss  made the news because she blamed it on her GPS device(導(dǎo)航儀).She had never driven the route before .It was dark and raining heavily . Ceely was relying on her GPS. But it made no mention of the crossing ."I put my complete trust in the device and it led me right into the path of a speeding train ,"she told the BBC.
W ho is to blame here ? Rick Stevenson ,who tells Ceely's story in his book When Machines Fail US, finger at the limitations of technology. We put our faith in digital devices, he says,
but our digital helpers are too often not up to the job. They are filled with small  problems. And it’s not just GPS devices: Stevenson takes us on a tour of digital disasters involving everything from mobile phones to wireless key boards.
The problem with his argument in the book is that it’s  not clear why he only focuses digital technology,while  there may be a number of other possible  causes. A map-maker might have left the crossing off a paper map. Maybe we should blame Ceely for not paying attention. perhaps the railway authorities are at fault for poor signaling system. Or maybe someone has studied the relative dangers and worked out that there really is something specific wrong with the CPS equipment. But Stevenson doesn’t say.
It’s a problem that runs through the book. In a section on cars, Stevenson gives an accout of the advanced techniques that criminals use to defeat computer-based locking systems for cars. He offers two independent sets of figures on car theft; both show a small rise in some parts of the country. He says that once once again not all new locks have proved reliable. Perhaps, but maybe it’s also due to the shortage of policemen on the streets. Or changing social circumstances. Or some combination of these factors .
The game between humans and their smart devices  is complex. It is shaped by economics and psychology and the cultures we live in. Somewhere in the mix of those forces there may be  way a wiser use of technology.
If there is such a way, it should involve more than just  an awareness of the shortcomings of our machines. After all, we have lived with them for thousands  of years. They have probably been fooling us for just as long .
小題1:What did Paula Ceely think was the cause of her accident?           
A．Shewasnotfamiliarwiththeroad.
B．Itwasdarkandrainingheavilythen.
C．The railway works failed to give the signal.
D．Her GPS device didn’t tell her about the crossing
小題2:The phrase”near miss” (paragraph 2 ) can best be replaced by _______.
A．closebitB．heavylossC．narrow escapeD．bigmistake
小題3:Which of the following would Rick Stevenson most probably agree with?          
A．Moderntechnologyiswhatwe can’tlivewithout.
B．Digitaltechnologyoftenfalls shortofoutexpectation.
C．Digitaldevicesaremore reliablethantheyusedtobe.
D．GPSerrorisnottheonly causeforCelery’saccident.
小題4:
In the writer’s opinion, Stevenson’s argument is________.
A．one-sidedB．reasonableC．puzzlingD．well-based
小題5:
What is the real concern of the writer of this article?
A．The major causes of traffic accidents and car thefts.
B．The relationship between humans and technology
C．Theshortcomingsofdigital devicesweuse.
D．Thehuman unawarenessoftechnicalproblems.

One morning I wasted nearly an hour watching a tiny ant carry a huge feather. Several times, it   31   several obstacles in its path. And after a momentary pause it would make the necessary detour (繞道).   32  one point, the ant had to cross a crack about 10mm wide. After some   33 
thoughts, the ant laid the feather over the crack, walked   34  it and picked the feather up on the other side, then continued on its way. I was   35  by the cleverness of this ant. It was only a small insect, lacking in   36  yet equipped with a brain to reason, explore, discover and overcome.  37  this ant, like the other two-legged creatures   38  on the earth, also shares human failings.
After some time the ant   39  reached its destination—a flower bed and a small hole that was the entrance to its   40  home. It was there that the ant met its   41  .How could that large feather possibly   42  such a small hole? Of course, it couldn’t. So the ant, after all this   43  and using great brightness, overcoming problems all along the way, just gave up the   44  and went home. The ant had not thought the problem through   45  it began its journey and in the end the feather was   46  more than a burden. Isn’t our   47  like that?
We worry about our families; we worry about the   48  of money; and we worry about all kinds of things. These are all burdens—the things we pick up along life’s path, and drag them around the obstacles and over the cracks that life will bring, only to   49  that at the destination they are
  50  and we can’t take them with us.

Over many years, there has been an increase in the population of towns in many countries, as millions of people have moved from the villages in search of better jobs and facilities (設(shè)施), in the hope of getting a higher standard of living. This development has led to huge expansions of towns both upwards into the sky and outwards into the surrounding countryside. In spite of all the efforts of governments and private businesses, many areas still suffer from a serious shortage of housing.
Now, a new idea has been put forward which will utilize (利用 vt.) areas which have no other obvious commercial potential (商業(yè)潛能). These are the ponds, small lakes, disused docks (碼頭), and other areas of water, many of which can be found near, or even in the suburbs (郊區(qū)) of big towns.
A new style of construction has been designed which will provide a house for less than half the cost of the normal building. The main saving is, of course, the land, because the new houses will float on water. There will be no need for foundations; instead the house will be built on a frame (框架) made of steel which is expected to cost about ￡5,000. Above this the builders will make a house with two, three, or four bedrooms and all the usual modern conveniences, as well as a roof garden. Each house will be joined to the main services supplying water, gas, and electricity and they will have a vacuum sewage disposal (真空污水處理) system. All the service links will have enough flexibility (靈活性) to allow for small differences in the water level caused by wet and dry periods of weather.
The first houses to be built are expected to cost between ￡20,000 and ￡30,000 according to size and it is already clear that there is a very good potential market for the new system. As the cost is comparatively low, young people and common citizens would like to buy.
小題1:So many people have moved into towns because _______．
A．they enjoy the facilities
B．they expect to live a better life
C．they expect to get better jobs
D．there is a shortage of jobs in villages
小題2:What is the main advantage of the new idea?
A．It will help relieve（緩解）the housing shortage.
B．It will utilize disused areas of water.
C．It will provide jobs.
D．It will help the suburbs.
小題3:The new houses will be built on­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­_______．
A．waterside areasB．a(chǎn) stone foundation
C．lakes and rivers D．a(chǎn) steel frame
小題4:The price of the new houses will _______．
A．encourage private and government builders
B．a(chǎn)ttract ordinary people in the towns to buy
C．vary in different areas according to the policy
D．help the housing market in the countryside

The disaster at the Chernobyl(former USSR前蘇聯(lián)) power station happened quickly and without warning. It was in the early hours of April 26, 1986 when the cooling system of the reactor(反應(yīng)堆) failed. Minutes later, a violent (猛烈地) explosion blew the top off the reactor and blasted(爆炸生成) a huge cloud of radioactive gas high into atmosphere. Two people were killed immediately. Hundreds received powerful radiation overdose (過量). And more than 25,000 had to be taken away from their homes.
Days later, the radioactive cloud had spread as far as Scotland. Its radiation was weak, but all over Europe radioactive rain was falling. In some areas people were advised not to eat fresh vegetables, or drink fresh milk, and the sale of meat was forbidden.
The accident at Chernobyl was the world’s worst nuclear accident. In Britain, it convinced (使……相信) many people that all nuclear power stations should be shut down for good. But the Central Electricity Generating Board didn’t agree. They claimed that ·similar disasters could not happen in Britain because of safer designs, fewer deaths are caused using nuclear fuel (燃料) than by mining for coal or drilling for oil and gas. Nuclear accidents are unusually fewer compared with other types of accidents-such as air crashes, fires or dam break-down more nuclear power stations are necessary because the world’s supplies of oil, coal and natural gas are running out.
In 1957 in Cumbria (Britain) a nuclear reactor overheated and caught fire. No one was killed but fourteen workers received radiation overdose. Small amounts of gas and dust were let out over the local countryside.
An official report said the accident was nearly a full-scale disaster. The Nuclear Authority wanted the report published but the Prime Minister at the time refused. He thought that it would make people less confident in Britain’s nuclear industry. Thirty years later, the cabinet(內(nèi)閣) records of 1957 were published. Only then did the public discover what had really happened in Cumbria.
小題1:. One result of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster was that ______.
A．25,000 people were killed
B．fresh foods were polluted
C．people in Scotland were taken away from their homes
D．hundreds of houses in Chernobyl were destroyed
小題2:.According to the passage, nuclear accidents______.
A．a(chǎn)re most unlikely to cause deathB．a(chǎn)re always kept secret from the public
C．can only happen in underdeveloped countriesD．may happen in any country that has nuclear power station.
小題3:. After the nuclear accident at Chernobyl many people in Britain _______.
A．still believed it could not happen in their country.
B．were not convinced that nuclear power stations could be safe
C．a(chǎn)ccepted that there would be fewer deaths than in drilling for oil
D．supported nuclear power stations because world fuel supplies were low
小題4:.. The British Government refused to publish the report on the Cumbria accident because _______.
A．Britain’s supplies of oil, coal and gas were running out
B．it takes thirty years for the effects of radiation to appear
C．fewer people died in that accident than in other types of accidents
D．it was concerned that the British people would doubt their country’s nuclear expertise (核技術(shù))

I was shopping in the supermarket when I heard a young voice.
“Mom, come here! There’s this lady here my size!”
The mother rushed to her son; then she turned to me to apologize.
I smiled and told her, “It’s okay.” Then I talked to the boy, “Hi, I’m Darryl Kramer. How are you?”
He studied me from head to toe, and asked, “Are you a little mommy?”
“Yes, I have a son,” I answered.
“Why are you so little?” he asked.
“It’s the way I was born,” I said. “Some people are little. Some are tall. I’m just not going to grow any bigger.” After I answered his other questions, I shook the boy’s hand, and left.
My life as a little person is filled with stories like that. I enjoy talking to children and explaining why I look different from their parents.
It takes only one glance to see my uniqueness. I stand three feet nine inches tall. I was born an achondroplasia dwarf. Despite this, I did all the things other kids did when I was growing up.
I didn’t realize how short I was until I started school. Some kids picked on me, calling me names. Then I knew. I began to hate the first day of school each year. New students would always stare at me as I struggled to climb the school bus stairs.
But I learned to smile and accept the fact that I was going to be noticed my whole life. I decided to make my uniqueness an advantage rather than a disadvantage. What I lacked in height, I made up for in personality.
I’m 47 now, and the stares have not diminished as I’ve grown older. People are amazed when they see me driving. I try to keep a good attitude. When people are rude, I remind myself, “Look what else I have — a great family, nice friends.”
It’s the children’s questions that make my life special. I enjoy answering their questions. My hope is that I will encourage them to accept their peers (a person of the same age, class, position, etc.), whatever size and shape they come in, and treat them with respect.
小題1:.. Why did the mother apologize to the author?
A．Because the boy ran into the author.
B．Because the boy laughed at the author.
C．Because the boy said the author was fatter than him.
D．Because she thought the boy’s words had hurt the author.
小題2:. When did the author realize that she was too short?
A．When she began to go to school.B．When she was 47 years old.
C．When she grew up.D．When she met the boy in the supermarket.
小題3:. Which of the following word can best replace the underlined word “diminished”?
A．dismissedB．increasedC．decreasedD．discriminated
小題4:. How does the author feel about people’s stares?
A．Angry.B．Calm.C．Painful.D．Discouraged.

It was on a warm day last summer. I was walking by the sea. The waves came and went. But I didn’t see them. I was lost in my thoughts.
A row of small holes soon caught my eyes. They lay in the sandy earth by the side of a road. In a minute I would have stepped on them.
What are these holes? I wondered. It had an answer soon. A fat, hairy insect crawled up from the earth. It had a wide tail. It was using the tail to dig in the ground.
The insect moved round and round in one spot(地點(diǎn)). Soon it had made another hole. When it was finished, the insect hid at the bottom. It covered its head with sand.
By now my thoughts of the early morning had gone. This new hole and the insect were all my world. So I sat quite still by the side of the road. And I waited.
As I watched, a small ant crossed the road. It passed my foot, and then it crossed the sandy earth. In a little while it reached the edge of the hole. I saw it start to fall in. The ant tried to turn back. But it couldn’t.
And then I knew. I knew why the holes were there. For just then the fat insect came up out of the hole. It ate the ant who was trapped there.
Later I learned the insect’s name. It’s called ant lion. It digs holes to catch ants.
I’ll never forget that day. The holes looked so small to me. But to the ant and the ant lion they were the whole world.
I took my walks by the sea that summer. But I never again learned as much as I did on the one.
小題1: What did the ant lion use to dig holes?
A．Its tailB．Its feet.C．Its headD．Its whole body
小題2: Why did the ant lion hide in the hole?
A．To keep the sun awayB．So no one would catch it.
C．So the ant wouldn’t see itD．To keep warm.
小題3: Why did “I” sit down by the side of the road?
A．To thinkB．To eat her lunch
C．To watch the little holesD．To catch ants.
小題4:Why did the ant lion dig the holes?
A．To play a gameB．To catch its food
C．To hide its eggsD．To hide from its enemy
小題5:Why did “I” never forget that day?
A．Learned somethingB．Had a nice time
C．Saw the ant lion whenever she took a walk
D．Felt sorry for the ant.
