D
Zach drove over to Mary’s place. She would be his wife soon. She was in China, visiting her parents. Her son Bradley hadn’t gone with her. Bradley was a junior in high school. He neither liked nor disliked Zach, even though he had known Zach for three years. Zach was still trying to get along well with Bradley.
When Zach arrived, he asked if Bradley wanted to drive his car. Bradley had a driver’s license. Bradley said all right. Zach told him not to drive fast, but that he could drive anywhere he wanted. Bradley got on the road. Zach gave Bradley a few driving tips: Don’t drive next to big trucks, because you never know when they might crush(碾壓) you. Don’t drive behind trucks filled with things, because you never know when something in the truck will fly out and hit your car.
On their way back, Zach suggested that they stop at the golf course. He wanted to show Bradley how to play golf. Bradley wasn’t interested. He preferred his video games. But Bradley soon discovered that golf was fun! He hit a lot of balls. Zach told him that he was doing well. The next day Bradley, for the first time ever, called Zach. He had a few blisters(水皰) on his hands. Zach said that usually happened. Then Bradley asked if Zach would come next Saturday so they could take a drive and hit golf balls again. Zach said, of course, and felt happy.

All That noise is damaging Children’s Hearing
Michel become hooked on headphones in his early teens. He walked in the streets of Brooklyn day after day with his favorite music blasting directly into his ears. By his early 20s, Michel had lost much of his upper-range hearing.
The Children’s Hearing Institute reports that hearing loss among children and young adults is rising in the United States, and that one third of the damage is caused by noise.
Surrounded By Noise
We live in a noisy world. Young and old alike are beset by sounds over which we may have little or no control: power mowers, leaf blowers, snow blowers, cars and house alarms, sirens, motorcycles, Jet Skis, loudspeakers, even movie previews.
We attend rock concerts, weddings, parties and sports events at which the music is so loud you can hardly hear the person sitting next to you. At home, televisions, stereos and computer games are often turned up so loud that listeners can not hear a doorbell or telephone. Many “modern ” restaurants have chosen noise enhancement instead of abatement(減輕). Any time you need to shout to be heard by someone near you, your hearing is most likely to be in a decibel(分貝) danger zone.
As if environmental noise were not enough, now we surround children with noisy toys and personal listening devices that can permanently damage their hearing. Toys that meet the safety standards of the American Society for Testing and Materials can produce sound up to 138 decibels, as loud as a jet plane taking off. Yet workplace rules require hearing protection for those exposed to noise above 85 decibels.
Protecting Young Ears
Before buying noisemaking toys, parents would do well to listen to how loud they are. If the toy comes with a volume control, monitor its use to make sure it is kept near the lowest level. Consider returning gifts that make loud noises, disable the noise-making function. Or limit the use of noisy toys to outside play areas.
Children who play computer games and stereo equipment should be warned to keep the volume down. Time spent in video arcades, where the noise level can be over 110 decibels, should be strictly limited. Most iPods have a control that allow parents to set a maximum volume.
Don’t take children to loud action movies. If you do go and the sound seems deafening, ask the manager to turn down the volume or insist on you money back. Children who play in bands and teenagers who use power tools, gardening equipment or guns should be made to wear hearing protection, available at sporting goods stores.
The League for the Hard of Hearing urges parents to encourage participation in quiet activities, like reading, watching family-oriented films, doing puzzles, making thins with construction toys, playing educational computer games, drawing and painting, and visiting librarians and museums.

You know it’s truly amazing how the Jewish people survived after thousands of years of being slaves, persecuted(追捕), and even attempted genocide (種族滅絕)when Hitler’s Nazi murdered 6 million Jews! That’s why in 1934, Germany was the    36   place to be a Jew. When Hitler’s teenage gangs    37    his village, the little    38    boy, Heinz, was just 11 years old.
Every day Heinz’s parents taught their    39    how important it was to learn    40   . When the Nazi gangs terrorized their village on the streets daily, Heinz’s parents knew that just one moment of losing control of their    41   against their rulers could    42    the death of the family. So Heinz learned to stay out of their    43   , sometimes crossing the street or taking a    44   road home.
But one day, young Heinz was finally    45    by one of Hitler’s bullies(暴徒). For the first time, Heinz was    46   to talk to a Nazi youth.

That day, Heinz discovered his survival skill of talking and    51    with others. It was a major    52   point that changed his life---and later changed the world.
After a few years, Heinz’s family escaped from Germany and moved to America. But Heinz never forgot how to talk with people and help bring    53    between enemies. You see, that 11-year-old boy who had    54    his first peace settlement with a Nazi bully, later became one of the greatest ambassadors of peace in the world. You’ve probably heard of him- not as Heinz- but by his American name: Henry Kissinger, the    55   US Secretary of State.

71    It might understand more than you think．
A dog named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany．   72   Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee．
In one experiment，the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects．   73   In four tests，Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right．As the dog couldn’t see anyone to get clues，the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words．
In another experiment，the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew．   74    
The correct object was chosen in seven out of 10 tests．suggesting that the dog had worked out the answer by process of removing．A month later，Rico remembered half of the new names，which is even more impressive．
75   Even if they do，they can’t talk back．Still，it wouldn't hurt to sweet-talk your dog
every now and then You might just get a big，wet kiss in return!
A．The owner then told Rico to fetch the object，using a word the dog had never heard before
B．Do dogs more understand us than some friends?
C．It’s hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say．
D．Be careful what you say around your dog．
E．The dog also appears to be able to learn new words

Imagine growing a home from living trees instead of building a home from wood. Mitchell Joachim, at the MIT Media Lab's Smart Cities Group, along with ecological engineer Lara Greden and architect Javier Arbona, have proposed a system of homes that are actually a living ecosystem.
Joachim's vision is based on a gardening method known as pleaching, which involves weaving branches together to form living lattice(格子) walls. Since the growth patterns of trees are affected by wind and sunlight, it may be possible to manipulate the way a tree develops.
This idea is an extreme, yet simple and beautiful, form of green building. Not only does it not cause direct harm to the environment, but it is actually part of the environment. The house, which is a network of trees, would clean the air and also provide a home for animals and birds. "Not only does it do zero damage, but it will hopefully clean the air," says Joachim.
"A 100 percent treehouse would take years to create," Joachim said. Depending on the climate, a house could take anywhere from 5 to 30 years to grow. Fortunately, there's a way to speed up the process.
Ecological materials, Joachim suggests, should be included in the housing designs. For example, windows can be made from soy－based plastics that would flex (折曲) with the home as it grows.
So what happens when a home and the great outdoors are one and the same? A home would become an actual ecosystem, a community of plants, animals, and bacteria working together. The trees would also give off water vapor that would assist in cooling the homes. Solar panels and wind would help provide energy. Straw and clay could be used to insulate(使絕緣) the structures. The tree homes might even have soil pockets, where plants could grow from the structure itself.
Joachim's project is called MatScape, designing a house in California that will be constructed from 50% recycled and 50% living elements. He sees it as an experimental step toward the final living house.
57．The best title for this passage would be______.
A．Trees Find Its New Use                               B．Scientists Create New Houses
C．Grow Your Home Out of Trees                       D．People Begin Living in Trees
58．The underlined word "manipulate" in Paragraph Two can be best replaced by     .
A．build                      B．influence                C．weave                     D．provide
59．It can be inferred from this passage that__________.
A．treehouses will replace traditional buildings
B．pollution problem will be solved once for all
C．many Californians may be building their own treehouses
D．some ecological materials may move as the house grows
60．If this passage is continued, what would probably be discussed?
A．A final living house.                                          B．Joachim's MatScape project.
C．More information about pleaehing.               D．Some more ecological materials.

My name is A. J. Hoge. I am the creator of the Effortless English Teaching System and I am the Founder and Director of The Effortless English Club——one of the most popular English learning systems in the world. My audio lessons are best－sellers in over 25 countries and my radio podcast (播客)has over one million listeners worldwide. I am also the publisher of the Effortless English Online Newsletter, which has over half a million subscribers(用戶) (and growing every day). I am a leading expert on topics related to English speaking success and teaching mastery.
I created the Effortless English Teaching System after many years of teaching English in universities. My former students include business professionals, scientists, teachers, professors, graduate students, and many other successful adult English learners. These students were just like you. They were frustrated English learners who could not speak well. Using the Effortless English system, they learned to speak English easily and automatically.
Each of these students made incredible improvements in a very short time. You also will improve quickly when you use the entire Effortless English System. The Effortless English System is designed for you——the independent adult learner. Effortless English focuses exclusively on speaking and listening skills. The system is designed to improve your speaking power as quickly as possible——using proven and tested methods.
When you follow the entire system every day for 6 months, your speaking becomes much faster and easier. Your spoken grammar improves powerfully——yet you will never study grammar rules in this system. Your pronunciation improves powerfully——yet you will not focus on pronunciation.
