11.Microwaves may be great at warming up food,but what about warming people?
Using microwaves to directly heat owners of a room would save much of the energy wasted by heating walls and furniture.And despite popular ideas about microwaves,this technique would be safe,according to Charles R.Burlier of the Microwave Research Center in Marlborough,New Hampshire.Low-power microwaves only penetrate (貫穿) the skin (low-power microwave penetration in a ham is about 0.2inches,for example) and with no negative effects.
To test this idea,Buffler subjected himself to microwaves in a special room using a standard 500-watt,2459MHz magnetron (磁控管).He found that a person will start to feel warmth at about 20kilowatts per square centimeter (mw./sq.cm.); a satisfactory feeling of warmth occurs between 35and 50mw./sq.cm.By comparison,a person standing in noonday summer sun feels the amount of 85mw./sq.cm.And a frozen meat pie in your microwave oven receives about 1000mw./sq.cm.
In houses of the future,each room could be provided with its own magnetron,says Buffler.When you stepped into the living room,for example,a motion detector (運(yùn)動(dòng)感應(yīng)器)would turn on the magnetron,filling the room with low-power microwaves.In the same way that a microwave oven heats up a hamburger,but not the plate it's on,you would feel warmth from the microwaves without changing the temperature of your coffee table.(You could,however,make your favorite easy chair even more comfortable by treating it with a radiation-absorbing chemical.)
While it might be some time before homeowners are comfortable enough with the idea to set up whole-body microwave heaters in houses,Buffler says microwaves may attract livestock(家畜) farmers.Lambs that are born outdoors in winter,for example,are frequently lost to cold.Microwaves could warm the lambs safely and quickly.

26.Which of the following can tell the main idea of the passage?A
A.A new heating system.
B.A new microwave oven.
C.A popular technique.
D.The magnetron.
27.According to Paragraph 2,which of the following does not describe the characteristics of a microwave heater?B
A.It directly heats people in a room.
B.It heats walls and furniture in a room.
C.It is safe.
D.It saves energy.
28.The test conducted by Buffler shows that when a person feels comfortable warmth,he receives aboutB.
A.20mw./sq.cm.   B.40mw./sq.cm.
C.60mw./sq.cm.   D.85mw./sq.cm.
29.According to Paragraph 4,which of the following fills the room with low-power microwaves?A
A.The magnetron.
B.The motion detector.
C.The microwave oven.
D.The radiation-absorbing chemical.
30.Which of the following statements about microwave heaters would Buffler most probably agree with?C
A.Microwave heaters will soon be widely used by homeowners.
B.Microwave heaters sometimes make people feel uncomfortable.
C.Perhaps microwave heaters will be first used by livestock farmers,who wish to protect their lambs in winter.
D.Microwave heaters cannot be accepted by the public because they are somewhat unsafe.

2.You probably remember me from the other day.I was the one who reacted very slowly to the green traffic light.When you honked your horn(鳴笛),I realized I was holding up traffic,so please accept my apology.However,I do want you to know why I seemed in a confused state.You see,I was just at the doctor's office getting the results of the examination I had two weeks ago,and I was wondering how I would tell my husband and children that I had cancer.There were still tears in my eyes,so,quite simply I didn't even see the lights change.Perhaps I should not have been driving,but I didn't want to miss my appointment.
I was in the express lane(快速通道)at the supermarket without thinking and moving.Please accept my apology.My mind was on my youngest daughter who ran away from home,and she?'just sixteen.I was so worried then.You see,she somehow got in with the wrong crowd and started using drugs and drinking.I was remembering what a pretty little girl she had been most of her life.I know you were unhappy along with others in line.Please,accept my apology.
I remember you from the store last week.I was so mean to you,when you were doing your job to the best of your ability.I acted so childishly.Please accept my apology.You see,I arrived home from work just yesterday and discovered that my wife had left me,but I should never have taken it out on you.Please,accept my apology.
The above are imagined incidents,and yet they expressed a very real truth.The old saying about judging others before you"have walked a mile in their shoes"is a much needed reminder.Perhaps we all could try to learn the fact that there are problems and situation in the lives of others which we are totally unaware of.So,maybe before we get angry in similar situations,we should think a moment and understand that things may be going on in other's lives which have caused them to be slower,absent-minded or angry.Patience,as they say,is a virtue.
64.The woman was holding up traffic becauseC.
A.she had just left the doctor's office B.she didn't know how to drive
C.she had cancer and was absent in mind D.she had tears in her eyes
65.What was not the reason that worried the person according to paragraph two?D
A.Her youngest daughter ran away from home.
B.Her youngest daughter started using drugs and drinking.
C.Her youngest daughter somehow got in with the wrong crowd.
D.Her youngest daughter had lived a very happy life.
66.The whole passage is developedB
A.by space B.by examples C.by time   D.by comparison
67.What does the author mainly want to express?B
A.Learn to accept others?apology.
B.We need more patience and understanding.
C.Be patient when you are in line.
D.The patient should not drive to the office.

3.A recent study shows that boys and girls learn differently.So ma ybe we can maximize (最大化)learning by teaching them in single gender (性別) programs.
   First,boys and girls see differently.Boys interpret the world as objects moving through space.In their opinion,a good teacher should move around the room constantly and be that object.
   The male eye is usually drawn to cooler colors like silver,blue,black,grey,and brown.It's no accident boys tend to create pictures of moving objects like spaceships,cars,and trucks in dark colors instead of drawing a happy colorful family,like girls in their class.The fem ale eye,on the other hand,is drawn to textures(質(zhì)地) and colors.They tend to like warmer colors-red,yellow,orange,and visuals with more details,like faces.Girls work well in circles,faci ng each other.Using descriptive(描寫性的) phrases in presentations or lots of colors on the chalkboard can help get their attention.
  Boys and girls also hear differently.When someone speaks in a loud tone,girls interpret it as yelling.They think you're mad and should quiet down.Girls are more sensitive to sounds.Girls'teachers should notice the tone of their voices.Boys'teachers should sound matter of fact,even excited.
  Boys'nervous systems cause them to be more alert when they're standing,moving,and the room temperature is around 20℃.Stress in boys tends to increase blood flow to their brains,a process that helps them stay focused.This won't work for girls,who are more focused seated in a warmer room around 25℃.Girls also respond to stress differently.When exposed to a threat,blood goes to their guts(內(nèi)臟),leaving them feeling nervous or anxious.
33.According to the new study,in order to have more effects on the learning of children,we'd betterA.
A.care for girls as well as boys in a class   
B.hold single gender classes
C.make girls sit in front of a classroom   
D.teach in classes mixed with two genders
34.We learn from the passage thatC.
A.boys feel stressed in a very cold room
B.boys tend to feel nervous under stress
C.girls need a higher temperature than boys to stay focused
D.girls should do more sports to keep their brains active
35.Which is the best title for the passage?C
A.The Differences Between Boys and Girls
B.Male Teachers and Female Teachers
C.Boys and Girls Learn Differently
D.Physical Differences Between Boys and Girls.
