     New York-Wednesday,October fifteenth,is the first Global Hand Washing Day.Activities are planned
in more than twenty countries to get millions of people in the developing world to wash their hands with
soap.
     Experts say people around the world wash their hands but very few use soap at socalled critical
moments.These include after using the toilet,after cleaning a baby and before touching food.
     Global Hand Washing Day is the idea of the PublicPrivate Partnership for Hand Washing with Soap.
The goal,they say,is to create a culture of hand washing with soap.The organizers say all soaps are equally effective at removing diseasecausing germs (病菌)．They say the correct way to wash hands is to wet
your hands with a small amount of water and cover them with soap.Rub it into all areas,including under the fingernails.Then,rinse well under running water.Finally,dry your hands with a clean cloth.
     The Partnership says soap is important because it increases the time that people spend washing.Soap
also helps to break up the dirt that holds most of the germs.And it usually leaves a pleasant smell,which
increases the likelihood that people will wash again.
     It also says washing with soap before eating and after using the toilet could save more lives than any
medicine.It could help reduce cases of diarrhea (痢疾),which is the second leading cause of child deaths,
killing more than one and a half million children a year,by almost half.

New ways of building are being tried out everywhere. There are many new shows to watch!

In England, I saw a 17-story building made right on the ground. First, the workers dug a deep hole. They build the basement. This word was the same as on any building. From then on, the work was not the same.

On the ground, the men set 40 big jacks(千斤頂)。You know what a car jack does. It lifts a car. These big jacks were to lift each floor of the building. On top of the 40 jacks, the men first built a roof. Yes, the roof of the building!

What next? The jacks lifted the floor one story high. The builders worked on this floor. It was not the bottom floor. It was on the ground then. But it was going to be floor 17. The jacks lifted floor 17.Under it, the workers built floor 16.They built it right on the ground, too.

When floor 16 was done, the jacks lifted it. Under floor 16, the men built floor 15.And so it went. The bottom floor of the building was made last.

The work went quickly. Under the roof, the man worked even in rain or snow. They didn’t need to climb to high places. And trucks brought things right to them.

It took only one man to work the jacks, He just pushed a button. right away, the jacks began to lift.

In the United States, also, some builders use big jacks. But the jacks are above the floors, not under them. The floors are made of concrete(混凝土)。They are made on the ground, one on top of another. Strong posts run through them.

At first, the floors look like a big pile of pancakes, as the picture shows. Then jacks at the top of the posts lift each floor into place. The top floor makes the roof.

In Texas, I saw a roof made in a new way. A helicopter flew over the building, again and again. Each time, it stopped to put a piece of the roof into place. The helicopter was like a bird building a nest.

What a funny way to make a roof! But the helicopter built in one morning. To make a roof like this, it take weeks.

1．What might people feel is the most special and interesting thing in the new ways of building?

A. The floor are made of concrete.

B. The roof is built first and on the ground.

C. Jacks are used for building.

D. The building is completed in a short time.

2、Which picture shows what the floors described in the 8th and 9th paragraphs look like at first?

3、What can we infer about the new way of building the writer saw in England?

A. The workers never needed to get to high places during the whole course of the building.

B. The jacks were controlled by machines.

C. The jacks were controlled by man.

D. Each floor was really one big piece.

4、What is the purpose of the writer in writing this passage?

A. To suggest a new way of building.

B. To show the advantages of modern machines.

C. Just to introduce some new ways of building.

D. To show the power of imagination.

New band rocks

　　Imagine what you will be doing in seven years．Are you getting your first job or just studying in another country?

　　When the Taiwan band Relax One(輕松玩)was formed in 1998, they wanted to release their own albums．And now they have．

　　When the four group members came to the mainland to promote their first album “I Want Relax One”, they told Teens how they made their dream come true．

　　Guitarist Xiaomao set up his own music studio when he was only 17 after he graduated from Danjiang High School．This is the same high school from which other stars graduated, including Jay Chou and Monster from Mayday．

　　“It doesn’t mean you are a loser simply because you don’t like school,” Xiaomao believed．He had a good time hanging around with music lovers．Then he met drummer A-kui, who was rather rebellious at that time．

　　Both A-kui’s parents are high school teachers．Born in such a family meant few choices for him－going to a good university and finding a decent(體面的)job seemed to be his future．A-kui was already on that road, being a top student in one of the top high schools in Taiwan．

　　“But I didn’t want to be planned, ” said A-kui．He took up drumming．The reason that he didn’t choose guitar or bass was simply that they were too costly．

　　“To learn to play drums, all you need is a pair of drumsticks, ” A-kui said with a smile．“My family didn’t want me to do music so I didn’t have the money to buy a guitar．”

　　Xiaorenguo was A-kui’s fellow student in Alethia University, majoring in information management．Being infected by A-kui’s enthusiasm for music, he began playing bass(貝司)．

　　They formed a band．Parents’ objections, financial pressure and changing of band members－nothing stopped their dream．

　　And then lead vocalist(主唱)Summer, who now writes all the songs, joined in 1998．

　　Summer loved singing when she was a kid．After graduating from Fu Jen University, she began her exploration of music．

　　Her voice and talent for writing songs were acknowledged(得到承認(rèn))before she joined the band．She had written songs for other singers, such as China Dolls(中國(guó)娃娃)．Some producers even tried to persuade her to develop a career on her own．

　　But Summer insisted on staying with the band．“We are like a family, ” Summer explained．

New security camera can“see”through clothes

　　New technology that can“see”through clothing and detect what's underneath can now be used to scan crowds, making it a potentially effective tool to prevent terrorist attacks in public places．

　　The Thru Vision T5000 camera picks up Terahertz rays, or T-rays, which are naturally sent out by all objects and can pass through clothes or even walls．The camera can then detect metallic and nonmetallic objects hidden under clothing on still or moving subjects without showing any body detail．

　　While similar technology is seen at airports around the world, the T5000 is designed to be used in large, open areas．With a range of 25 meters, the T5000 can screen people in public places, thus avoiding bottle-necks at border crossing or security checkpoints．It also means people can be screened without knowing it．

　　The technology develops from British astronomers' work in studying dying stars．Astronomers use T-ray cameras to see through dust and clouds in space．The company sees uses for its camera at other sites where political or business activities take place．

　　For privacy concerns, Thru Vision Chief Executive Clive Beattie said the image produced by the camera did not show detailed parts of the body．“It's almost a shining light bulb(燈泡)．”Beattie said．“You don't see the detail that people might be concerned about．”In London's busy Piccadilly Circus－which is already filled with closed-circuit surveillance(監(jiān)視)cameras－reaction to the new technology was mixed．Some said the camera was going too far and violating privacy, but others said they are willing to put safety before privacy concerns．“There's surveillance everywhere anyway,”said one commuter．“I don't think it's much of a difference．I don't care that they can see through me because they can see me anyway．”

　　Some experts said the privacy violation of the camera was not worth the benefit．“What we should consider is how much we want to lose our privacy in order to obtain a sort of national security,”said David Murakami Wood, director of the Surveillance Studies network, which deals with surveillance and privacy problems．“In most cases this isn't real security－it's a sense of safety that has very little real effect．”

(1)

What can we learn about T5000?

[　　]

A．

It can detect metallic and nonmetallic objects underneath．

B．

It can see through clothing or walls by sending out T-rays．

C．

It was first used to observe stars by astronomers．

D．

It is widely used at airports around the world．

(2)

What is the most probable purpose of the new invention?

[　　]

A．

To improve people's life standard．

B．

For scientific research．

C．

For commercial benefits．

D．

For safety reasons．

(3)

Which is most probably the opinion of people on using the new camera?

[　　]

A．

Some agree to its use as it is new technology to protect privacy．

B．

Some agree to its use because safety is the most important．

C．

Some don't agree to its use because it makes no difference．

D．

Some people don't care because they know little about it．

(4)

What's the main idea of the last paragraph?

[　　]

A．

Safety is more important than privacy．

B．

T5000 is more beneficial than harmful．

C．

T5000 does not really provide security．

D．

It's not worth giving up privacy for safety．

Ⅲ.閱讀理解

        New York was very proud of its electric trolleys(無軌電車) at the turn of the century. They were the latest way to get around. But Mary Anderson, who visited New York from her native Birmingham, Alabama, 1902, did not like them at all. She thought they were not safe.

It was not that the drivers were bad. It was the windshields (擋風(fēng)玻璃). In those days, drivers rubbed their windshields with damp tobacco. This was supposed to help off rain and snow. But it did not work too well. Anderson watched as the trolley drivers struggled to see out of their windshields, and came up with an idea.

Back in Alabama, Anderson made the first windshield wiper by fixing handle （把手）to a rubber blade (片). This, in turn, was fixed to the windshield. The drivers had to turn the handle back and forth by hand to make the blade wipe off the rain. But it worked. And travel in bad weather was made a little safer for everyone.

36.Which of the following best gives the main idea of this passage?

A.How Mary Anderson visited New York?
