Are you still worried about overcharging for your luggage over the weight limit? An " Airport Jacket" containing up to 15kg luggage is designed to help frequent flyers bypass(繞過(guò)) airport baggage queues, reduce baggage fees and really lower the risk of lost luggage.

" With airlines beginning to charge for carry - on baggage as well as severely limiting 10aggage allowances for the low fare economy traveler, my partner and I have designed a jacket that can wear your laptop, tablet, two pairs of shoes, a pair of jeans, five T - shirts, a jumper and a camera," designer Claire Murphy explains. "It totals 14 deep pockets, including 8 pockets at hip length, 11 pockets at three - quarter length and 14 pockets at full length. "

. Claire and Benke Murphy came up with the idea while traveling home with their newborn child. They had so much extra carry - on luggage that the airline tried to charge them $ 140 for it, more than the cost of their tickets. So they had to put clothes, chargers, diapers and toys into their pockets, until just over the weight limit. They escaped the tax, but everything sticking out of their pocket saw a pretty uncomfortable plane ride.

However, people have been raising questions about the usefulness of the Airport Jacket, especially the trouble of going through security checkpoints. They are arguing that having to take all out and then putting them back into the pockets is not worth the few tens of dollars you save on a checked luggage.

But Benke claims that walking through airport security is not an issue as long as you follow guidelines for carry - on luggage. " It only needs to be worn when checking in and at the boarding gate. What' s more, Airport security is not looking at how you store your luggage but checking its contents. "

Its makers are currently running a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, trying to raise $ AU100, 000. But they've only raised $ AU3, 675 so far, although they still have 37 days to go, so it's still hopeful And even if this fails, they may still find a way to get it to market.

1.What's the least possible benefit of using the Airport Jacket?

A. it may cut down on the luggage fees.

B. it may decrease the risk of losing luggage.

C. it may save the time of passing long queues.

D. it can guarantee you a comfortable flight service. .

2.What does the paragraph 3 mainly discuss about?

A. how much luggage the couple carried

B. how luckily the couple avoided overcharging

C. how the designers got their inspiration

D. how painful the couple's flying experience was

3.What can we infer from this passage?

A. The pockets of the 'Airport Jacket have 28 in total.

B. Not all regard the Airport Jacket as a perfect invention.

C. Crowdfunding is the best way to collect money you need.

D. Airports now begin to limit the number of economy travelers.

4.What will the author probably mention in the next paragraph?

A. Their kinds of anxiety and fear facing failure.

B. Their possible measures to market their product.

C. Their sharp and powerful attack against those opposed.

D. Their attempts to improve and enlarge the production capacity.

Time flies! This is a third year that I have been in this school. In the past two and a half years, our school had organized many activities. What impressed me more was an activity called “Learning to Farm”. In an autumn afternoon, we were sent to a farm which we learned to plant potatoes. Having been in the city for so a long time, we were very happy to go to the countryside. After divided into three groups, we started to work. Some students cut potatoes into pieces; some dug holes, and the others put the pieces of potatoes into the hole, put the earth back and pushed them down hard. We continued doing that until all the work was done. Although we were exhausted, but we felt fulfilled on our way back home.

16．It was the afternoon of December 24，the day before Christmas；and as the newest doctor in our office，I had to work．The only thingt brightened my tha day was the beautifully decorated Christmas tree in our waiting room and a gift sent to me by a fellow I was dating-a dozen long-stemmed red roses．
As I was cleaning my office，I was told a lady urgently needed to speak with me．As I stepped out，I noticed a young，tired-looking woman with a baby in her arms．Nervously，she explained that her husband-a prisoner in a nearby prison-was my next patient．She told me she wasn't allowed to visit her husband in prison and that he had never seen his son．Her request was for me to let the boy's father sit in the waiting room with her as long as possible before I called him for his appointment．Since my schedule wasn't full，I agreed．After all，it was Christmas Eve．
A short time later，her husband arrived-with chains on his feet and hands，and two armed guards as bodyguards．The woman's tired face lit up like our little Christmas tree when her husband took a seat beside her．I kept glancing out to watch them laugh，cry and share their child．After almost an hour，I called the prisoner back to my office．The patient seemed like a gentle and modest man．I wondered what he possibly could have done to be held under such conditions．I tried to make him as comfortable as possible．
At the end of the appointment，I wished him a Merry Christmas-a difficult thing to say to a man headed back to prison．He smiled and thanked me．He also said he felt saddened by the fact he hadn't been able to get his wife anything for Christmas．On hearing this，I was inspired with a wonderful idea．
I'll never forget the look on both their faces as the prisoner gave his wife the beautiful，long-stemmed roses．I'm not sure who experienced the most joy-the husband in giving，the wife in receiving，or myself in having the opportunity to share in this special moment．

59．What can be inferred from the first paragraph？C
A．The writer was a newcomer to her office．
B．A fellow sent her a dozen red roses as Christmas present．
C．She was in low spirits because she had to work before Christmas．
D．She was at work with a light heart．
60．The young woman came to the writer's office for the purpose ofD．
A．having her baby examined
B．giving her husband a chance to make his escape
C．having her husband examined
D．getting a chance for her family to get together
61．The underlined part in Paragraph 3most probably means"D"．
A．to be sent to hospital
B．to be separated from his family
C．to be comfortable
D．to become a prisoner
62．What does the writer learn from the story？B
A．The wife experienced the most joy in receiving．
B．An act of kindness can mean a lot．
C．The prisoner was treated with mercy．
