It is important to get the right boiler for the size of our house.
Having a large boiler in a small house is a waste, but if you have a large house with a small 
boiler you’ll be left lacking warmth.
British Gas has developed a new boiler, the 330+domestic（家用的） central heating boiler, which could provide the perfect way for you to change situation.
An experienced engineer can adjust the 330+’s output from 9kW to 30kW. This means the amount of heat the boiler is producing can be adjusted in line with the size of your house.
So, while you still have just two bedrooms, you could keep it on a fairly low setting, having this increased as you make your house larger to four （or even more） bedrooms, Whatever your future needs, the 330+ can keep up with you, preventing you from having to deal with the trouble and cost of having a new, larger boiler fixed at a later date.
In addition, the 330+ is very easy to keep in good condition and fix. Its digital indicator provides advanced and accurate diagnoses（診斷） of any problems. This information will enable you to have any problems speedily settled.
If you also find it difficult to work out exactly how much gas you are consuming on a daily basis, the 330+ can help you see immediately if you are consuming a low, medium or high amount of gas.
An independent research has shown that this level of customer awareness can reduce energy consumption by as much as 10%, so you’ll be doing your bit for the environment as well. And as the 330+ is produced in

Australia – The vote for euthanasia (安樂死) was finally taken at 3:45 this morning. After six months’ argument and final 16 hours’ hot debates. Australia’s Northern Territory became the first legal authority in the world to allow doctors to take the lives of incurably ill patients who wish to die. The bill was passed by the vote of 15 to 10. Almost immediately world flashed on the Internet and was picked up, half a world away, by John Hofsess, the director of the Right to Die Society of Canada. He sent it on through the group’s on – line service, Death NET. Hofsess says, “We posted it all day long, because this isn’t just something that happened in Australia. It’s world history.”
The full import may take a while to understand. The NT Rights of the Terminally Ill law has left physicians and citizens trying to deal with its moral and practical implications. Some have breathed sighs of relief; but others, including churches, right to life groups and the Australian Medical Association, bitterly attacked the bill and the haste of its passage. But the tide is unlikely to turn back. In Australia--where an aging population, life-extending technology and changing community attitudes have all played their part—other states are going to consider making a similar law to for euthanasia. In the U. S. and Canada, where the right to die movement is gathering strength, observers are waiting for the dominoes (多米諾骨牌) to start failing.
Under the new Northern Territory law, an adult patient can request death--probably by a deadly injection or pill--to put an end to suffering. The patient must be diagnosed as incurably ill by two doctors. After a "cooling off" period of seven days, the patient can sign a certificate of request. After 48 hours the wish for death can be met. For Lloyd Nickson, a 54-year-old Darwin resident suffering from lung cancer, the NT Rights of Terminally Ill law means he can get on with living without the haunting fear of his suffering: a terrifying deat from his breathing condition. "I' m not afraid of dying from a spiritual point of view, but what I was afraid of washow I'd go, because I've watched people die in the hospital fighting for oxygen and clawing at their masks," he says.
According to the text, which of the following statements is TURE?
A．Australia now us the only country in the world to pass the law of euthanasia.
B．All people in Australia don’t have the same positive attitude to euthanasia.
C．Many patients will ask their doctors for euthanasia because they are afraid of death.
D．According to the law, if a patient requests death, his or her wish will be met after 48 hours.
The underlined sentence in Para 2, “observes are waiting for the dominoes to start falling.” means that observes are waiting to see .
A．the result of the game of dominoes.
B．that people’s attitude to euthanasia will be changed.
C．that the bill about euthanasia in Australia will come to an end.
D．the similar bills will be passed in other countries.
Australia was the first country to pass the bill of euthanasia, but not USA or Canada. Which one is NOT the reason?
A．In Australia, the technology of extending life is advanced.
B．In Australia, it is easy to deal with the moral and practical meaning.
C．In Australia, old people take up great part in the population of the whole country.
D．Australians gradually realize suffering from a terrible disease is worse than immediate death.
It can be inferred from the text that .
A．when Lloyd Nickson dies, he will face his death with calm characteristic of euthanasia.
B．physicians and citizens in Australia share the same view on euthanasia.
C．other countries are going to consider making a similar law to deal with euthanasia.
D．under the bill, patients requesting death are sure to be injected by deadly medicine.
What’s the author’s attitude to euthanasia?
A．Negative B．Critical C．Positive D．Doubtful

B
I believe that it is important to be brought up with a firm belief in the good. I was fortunate in this respect. My parents not only gave me a happy home, but they had me study half a dozen foreign languages and made it possible for me to travel in other countries. This made me more tolerant and helped me to bridge many difficulties in later life.
Soon after I got married, my husband and I left our native Czechoslovakia and went to live in Shanghai, China. Here was a really international city. People of all races and beliefs lived and worked together.
In Shanghai, in 1941, when I was only twenty years old, the doctors discovered that I had diabetes. It was a terrible shock, because diabetes is incurable. But it can be controlled by insulin (胰島素). Although this drug was not manufactured in China, there were enough stocks of imported insulin available. This enabled me to continue a normal, happy life.
Then bombs fell on Pearl Harbor and the Japanese occupied Shanghai. The import of insulin was cut off. Before long, there was not enough for the diabetics. I was on a starvation diet to keep my insulin requirements as low as possible. Many diabetics had already died, and the situation became desperate. In spite of all this, I never stopped believing that with the help of my husband’s love and care, I would survive.
I continued to teach in Chinese schools. My faith and my husband’s never-ending efforts to get the manufacture of insulin started gave me courage. In his small laboratory the production of insulin was attempted. I served as the human guinea pig（實驗品）on which it was tested. I’ll never forget the day when my husband gave me the first injection of the new insulin, which had worked on rabbits. It helped! Can you imagine our happiness and relief?
I received the greatest strength from the deep love and complete understanding between my husband and me. And next to that was the kindness and help of many, many friends of many nationalities. To me, the experience of living in Shanghai during the special times was unforgettable.
After the Second World War, my husband and I sailed to the Untied States, which is also known as a melt pot. Wherever we live, I believe, with faith and love, love between families and friends from different nationalities, we can make it our cherished home.
61. What can we know about the author?
A. She visited China before twenty. B. She was given an unhappy home.
C. She got married in Czechoslovakia. D. She could hardly tolerate her parents.
62. As a diabetic, the author could still live normally in 1941 because .
A. she was able to buy enough insulin B. she received good medical treatment
C. she was looked after by her husband D. she was helped by people of different races
63. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refers to .
A. a small rabbit B. an ever lasting effort C. the new insulin D. the human guinea pig
64. How does the author feel about he
r stay in China?
A. Unbearable. B. Unbelievable. C. Unfortunate. D. Unforgettable.
65. We can infer from the text that the author’s husband was .
A. a doctor B. a researcher C. a teacher D. a sailor
