Last week, I bought an alarm system for about $ 450. It consisted of a control unit with three small units. I put the control unit in the sitting-room and fastened the other units by the front door, back door and living-room windows. The instructions told us to choose three numbers, so we chose 4, 9 and 1, the last three numbers of our telephone number.
Now I must explain how the alarm works:
l There is a power siren(警報器) in the control unit. It makes a very loud noise.
2 Each of the small units sends out beams or rays in different directions. If anything moves, it breaks a beam. This sends a signal to the control unit. The siren makes a noise which you can hear 50 meters away.
3. When we go to bed, I press the three buttons numbered 4, 9 and 1. Then we have 30 seconds to get out of the room before the alarm starts to work.
That night I slept soundly because I was sure that no burglar(夜賊) could get into our house. However, at about 2:10 a. m., I woke up and heard the siren. “There must be a burglar in the house,” Mary said. “What shall we do?”“I’ll go and see who’s there,” I said. “Stay here. Don’t make a noise.”I went downstairs quietly. When I reached the living-room, I switched on my torch and looked round the room. Then I turned the light on. I switched the siren off and searched the rooms downstairs. There was nothing wrong except that the back door was unlocked. I locked it, reset the alarm and went back to bed. About an hour later, the alarm started again. I jumped out of bed, fell over a chair in the dark and bumped into the bedroom door. Mary woke up and started hitting me with a torch. “Hey! Wait a minute!” I whispered. “It’s only me. I’m going downstairs to see what’s wrong.”I went down into the living-room and listened for a moment. The only sound I could hear was the siren. I turned on the light and then switched the siren off. As I did so, I glanced across at the curtains in front of the windows. I saw a house lizard (a kind of small animal) disappear behind the curtains.“Oh!” I said to myself. “That’s our burglar. ”When the lizard moved, it started the siren. I guessed that the alarm had been made in Europe, where there are no house lizards. Well. I won’t finish this story but if you want an alarm system free of charge, let me know. I’ll send you ours. We bought a dog this morning. It knows the difference between a lizard and a burglar.
【小題1】The writer bought an alarm system to ________.

A．make sure that he got up early every day
B．warn him when there were lizards in his house
C．frighten burglars and tell him that somebody had got into the house
D．make Mary feel safe to live in the large room

A．send a message to the control unit and start the siren
B．sound their own sirens when the control unit told them so
C．check that the control unit worked properly all the time
D．give them enough light
【小題3】If the writer set the alarm and remained in the room for more than half a minute, _______.
A．nothing would happen
B．the control unit would not work
C．the siren would make a noise
D．the dog would bark
【小題4】The purpose of the writer in writing the passage is to ________.

You know how wonderful you are，and you know that others know how wonderful you are，but what do you do when admiration crosses over the line into jealousy？For most teens there will come a day when you realize that one of your friends is jealous and that this jealousy is hurting your friendship.When this happens it can seem like there is nothing that you can do，but the good news is that there is.Don't let jealousy spoil your relationships.Tackle it head on and you might be back to normal much sooner than you think.

It can be hard to walk up to a friend and ask them what the problem is，but if you want to save your friendship you'll have to do just that.Don't approach them and ask why they are jealous of you (unless of course you want to appear totally conceited)，just take some time alone with them and let them know that you've been feeling like there's been something coming between you.If they refuse to respond，then use the opportunity to explain how you have been feeling.Chances are that something you say will strike a nerve and your friend will open up as well.

When you figure out what is annoying your friend，ask him or her what (s)he thinks would make the situation better.If，for example，(s)he says that (s)he feels like (s)he doesn't get to spend any time with you because of your being off with your new friends from the swim team then maybe you could invite her along the next time or block off one day a week for just the two of you.Remember，though，that whatever solution you decide on should be a compromise.Don't limit your own talents or opportunities simply because your friend is unhappy.Try instead to include him or her in your new life and see how that works out.

Even the best of friendships can be tinged by jealousy.This destructive emotion is rarely productive and can turn best friends into worst enemies.Before taking extreme action，chat with your jealous friend to see if the two of you can work out a compromise.If you can't，be prepared to know exactly how far you will go to keep your friend and how far you won't.

閱讀理解
     The poverty line is the minimum income that people need for an acceptable standard of living. People
with incomes below the poverty line are considered poor. Economists study the causes of poverty in
order to find solutions to the problem.
     As the general standard of living in the country rises, the poverty line does, too. Therefore, even with
today's relatively high standard of living, about 10 percent of the people in the United States are below
the poverty line.However, if these people had stable jobs, they could have an acceptable standard of
living. Economists suggest several reasons why poor people do not have jobs.
     For one thing, more than half of the poor people in the United States are not qualified to work. Over
40 percent of the poor people are children.By law, children less than 16 years old cannot work in many
industries. A large number of poor people are old. Many companies do not hire people over 65 years
old, the normal retirement age.
     Some poor adults do not look for jobs for a variety of personal reasons: they are sick, they do not
have any motivation, they have family problems, or they do not believe that they can find a job.
     Other poor people look for a job but cannot find one. Many poor adults never went to high school.
Therefore, when they look for jobs, they have few skills that they can offer.
     At the present time, the government thinks it can reduce poverty in the country in the following ways.
First, if the national economy grows, businesses and industries hire more workers.Some of the poor who
are qualified to look for jobs may find employment. Then they will no longer be below the poverty line.
Second, if society invests in the poor, the poor will become more productive.If the government spends
money on social programs, education, and training for poor people, the poor will have the skills to offer.
Then it is more likely that they can find jobs.
     Finally, if the government distributes society's income differently, it raises some poor people above
the poverty line. The government collects taxes from the non－poor and gives money to the poor. These
payments to the poor are called welfare. In 1975 over 18 million people in the United States received
welfare.
    Some economists are looking for better solutions to the poverty problem. However, at the present
time, many people depend on welfare for a minimally acceptable standard of living.
1. The author's main purpose to write this article is________.
A. to define what the poverty line is
B. to explain why some people live the poverty line
C. to find solutions to the problem of poverty
D. to show sympathy for those poor people
2. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Ten percent of the Americans live a poor life.
B. Poor people are those who live below the poverty line.
C. The poverty line rises as the general standard of living rises.
D. The poverty line tends to be at the same level.
3. More than 40 percent of the poor people are children. This is mainly because________.
A. they do not have enough motivation
B. they are so young that they don’t have the right to work
C. they fail to get enough education
D. they are very poor in health
4. Most of the American poor people are not qualified for employment because________.
A. they do not have any motivation to work
B. they are not very self－confident
C. they are too young or too old to work
D. they have physical and family problems
5. We may concluded from the passage that________.
A. better solutions to the poverty problem are not yet found
B. welfare will enable them to be rich
C. poor people are sure to go out of the poverty line if they have chances to do business
D. employment is the best solution to the poverty problem
