The ?109 Nest Protect Smoke Alarm promises Internet alerts（警報(bào)）and an end to the low battery chirp（短而尖的叫聲）. Besides, it uses a voice to tell you where the fire is.

The alarm is the first UK product from Nest, which is run by iPod-inventor Tony Fadell. The company claims the device’s batteries will last for up to seven years. The device will offer a spoken warning before it sounds a major alarm. Also it will use text messages and apps on your phones to alert users to low-level risks.

The present smoke alarms constantly alert users to non-existent threats, which will make many users annoyed and finally remove their batteries altogether. “We’ve all experienced the smoke alarm going off while we’re cooking. Sometimes, we need to search for the source of that non-stop low-battery chirp at midnight,” said Fadell. “Therefore, every time a smoke alarm cries wolf, we trust it a little less, and then — in a moment of frustration — we take the batteries out to stop the beep（嘟嘟聲）. And that leaves us and our families at risk.”

If the Protect smoke alarms are used, they can be set up in up to ten zones, so that the clear warnings tell users where the risk has been detected.

“Safety shouldn’t be annoying,” said Matt Rogers, Nest founder and vice president of engineering. “It was unacceptable to us that one in eight houses in the UK has a non-functioning smoke alarm. These products are required by law and are supposed to keep us safe, yet people hate them. We wanted to change that.”

1.For what purpose did Nest create the Protect Smoke Alarm?

A. To predict low-level fire risks.B. To experiment with a new battery.

C. To improve present smoke alarms.D. To avoid the low-battery chirp.

2.What did Tony Fadell really want to tell us in Paragraph 3?

A. One of his cooking experiences.

B. Disadvantages of present smoke alarms.

C. His growing distrust of smoke alarms.

D. His source of annoyance to crying wolf.

3.Which of the following are the advantages of the Protect Smoke Alarm?

a. Rechargeable batteries b. A talking smoke alarm

c. Longer battery life d. Going off constantly

e. Internet connection

A. a, b, cB. c, d, eC. a, c, eD. b, c, e

4.What can we know from the last paragraph?

A. In the UK people seldom set up smoke alarms.

B. Matt Rogers didn’t like the safety requirements.

C. Non-functioning smoke alarms make people annoyed.

D. The government should pay attention to safety issues.

Tasha Tudor(August 28，1919 — June 18，2008) was an American illustrator(插畫家)and writer of children’s books. She received many awards and honors for her contributions to children’s literature. When people talk about her creativity in artwork，she said,“I do it to support my dogs and my four children.”Her great publishing record, the number of magazine stories that have been written about her over the years, and her admirers have no effects on her at all.

Much of Tasha’s artwork and her reading are done in the wintertime.“I love winter. It’s delightful，”she says.“I don’t have to go anywhere because I work at home. If I’m snowed in，I can stay this way for months.”She hopes for early, deep snow to protect her garden from the hardship of the New England winter，and when it comes she puts on snowshoes when she needs to get down the mile-long dirt path that leads to the road.

Given her enjoyment of winter and her fantasy(夢(mèng)幻)way of life，it’s not surprising that Tasha’s Christmas is a storybook holiday. She hangs flowers over the front door. Her tree comes from the woods,

and it goes up on Christmas Eve，lit by homemade candles and decorated with her great- grandmother’s collection that dates from 1850. In a place of honor on the tree are large cookies cut into the shapes of her animals.

The grandchildren and friends get presents from Tasha’s old dolls；so do the animals and they

have their own Christmas tree. “Of course，it’s a known fact that all the animals talk on Christmas

Eve,”she has written. Small, handmade gifts fill a big wooden box

At the end 0f each year, Tasha can look back and know that her life is perfect，that she has

again ignored the twentieth century，and that the magic continues. And for the rest of us，here’s

a bit of advice, Tasha style：“Nowadays, people are so restless．If they took some tea anti spent more time rocking on the porch(門廊)in the evening listening to light music，they might enjoy life more.”

1.Tasha loved winter because it allowed her to ____________．

A．read stories to her grandchildren

B．show her DIY snowshoes to kids

C．stay indoors working mid reading

D．enjoy bicycle tiding along the path

2.From the passage, we can learn that Tasha’s life is ____________．

A．modern and fashionableB．simple and fantastic

C．lonely and hardD．a(chǎn)dventurous and inspiring

3.Which of the following is TRUE about Tasha?

A．She cared little about fame.

B．She created an animal fund.

C．She wrote many stories for magazines.

D．She bought presents for her relatives.

4.In which section of a paper can you probably read the article?

A．Travel.B．Sports.C．Economy.D．People.
