In a house，the kitchen is most likely to change in the future．The refrigerator may be able to talk to the owner when some part of it wears out．So before it stops working，the refrigerator itself may let you know that there’s a problem．In addition，your fridge will also be able to tell you what are inside it．You don’t need to stand in front of an open refrigerator and look for what you want．When you have taken out the food from your refrigerator，your table may suggest recipes based on what you put on it．How is this possible? The reason is the tiny computer chips，called RFIDs．They will be put in all the equipment in your kitchen，and even in furniture．

Besides refrigerator and table，other equipment in your kitchen will benefit you because of the chips．The washing machine will know how to wash plates cleaner．And you will be able to control your oven with your cell phone．You put your dinner into the oven before you leave home，and your phone will tell the oven when to start cooking，so that the meal has been ready when you get home．When you go to a grocery2 store．the RFIDs will also help you a lot．You put the chips  in your shopping bag before leaving home，and then they will tell you what you already have in your refrigerator．And the chips will charge your credit card，so that you don’t need to wait for a  long time before the cash desk any more．

If you love all the things today’s kitchen can do for you，you’ll love what tomorrow’s kitchen will do for you．

  She is only 12 years old but lives only with her younger sister. Her parents are far away from home, and she has to take care of her younger sister. She is He Can, a student at Anqing Jiangzhen Middle School in Anhui, one of the “stay-at-home children” in her town. To make money, these kids’ parents go to big cities to find jobs. Their children have to stay at home because they have to go to school.    

       He Can’s parents left home when she was only four. They only come back for the Spring Festival every year. Because she had to live with different relatives at different times, He Can went to eight different primary schools.

       “I think my life is OK,” she said. “But if possible, I would like my parents to settle down (安頓下來) and live with us.”

“Your honor(法官大人)！Let me say a few words for myself. What they have told you is just not true. I was not trying to kill anyone, and it was hardly possible to try to kill three strong young men at the same time. I didn't have anything to tell people that night and was quite alone. I didn't know them and needn't hate them. I was attacked by them, and I knocked one of them down. It's true, but I was made to do it, or I might be killed by them. I did this not because I hated the white men as they said. I just had to do so. While I was beaten in the dark street by the three men, a policeman came, caught me and took me here. I know why I was beaten. I have just moved into a house next to these three white men. I have felt that I am not welcome and I have tried to be quiet. I think, as an American, I have the right to choose where to live. I am guilty. What makes me guilty is my color opposite to theirs and I can't enjoy justice(公正). Yes, I'm not guilty. This is all I want to say. Thank you, your honor.”

Why do people buy art? To answer this question, ask yourself what your reasons are for thinking of getting a piece of art. An artwork can cost a large amount of money, but if it meets your needs, it’s worth every penny. 

People buy art for many reasons. Many people buy an artwork simply because they like it, even if it is by an unknown artist. Art, as long as you enjoy it, is never a waste of money.

Art is for enjoyment. Art is meant to be shown. Don’t ever feel pressured into buying something you won’t enjoy looking at day after day, no matter what other people may say. Don’t buy something that doesn’t attract you just because it is trendy, or because the artist is famous, or because you have been advised that the artwork will make a good investment. If you don’t like the artwork at all, don’t buy it!

Art improves your environment. Have you ever noticed that all beautiful homes have art as an integral（必需的） part of the decoration? Art lends life and color to otherwise plain and ordinary walls. A well thought--out art collection will help create a unique atmosphere in your home and make it more attractive.

Art makes a statement. The kind of art you surround yourself with says much about your personality tastes and values. Art truly is a mirror of the soul.

Art enriches your life. Love--even the love of a work of art--contributes to healthier living and a longer lifespan (壽命). Art should enrich your life. Otherwise, why do you spend precious time and resources on it?

Just remember to select something which will appeal to your tastes, and keep to a sensible budget. Good art needn’t cost an arm and a leg.

Happy art collecting!

1.What’s the purpose of the passage?

A. To advise us to buy an expensive artwork.

   B. To remind us to be sensible when buying an artwork.

   C. To teach us how to choose works of art.

   D. To explain the benefit of art to people.

2.According to the author, what should you consider when buying a piece of art?

   A. Whether it brings pleasure to you.

   B. Whether it is fashionable at present.

   C. Whether you can profit from it in the end.

   D. Whether it is created by a famous artist.

3.Which of the following words best describes a work of art placed in a house?

   A. ordinary  B. attractive  C. necessary  D. unique

4.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 means that ____.

   A. art can show what you look like
