9．http://www．dogonews．com/2013/5/3/hate-doing-laundry-you-are-going-to-love-this-shirt
 Though doing washing is relatively effortless，most people hate the work，which is probably why this new shirt produced by an American company，called Wool & Prince，is producing so much interest．
According to Mac Brown，the shirt's creator，the seemingly ordinary shirt can be worn for 100 straight days without washing!Of course，any shirt can be worn for that long，if smell is not a problem．However，the Wool & Prince shirt is different because it remains as fresh smelling as it was-the first day it was put on．And it never needs ironing，because it never wrinkles．
While that may sound magical and even impossible，it is true．The secret to their success lies in the raw material used to make the shirt-wool instead of cotton．
Not only are wool fibers about four times stronger than cotton，but thanks to the natural crimp（皺褶），they also do not wrinkle as easily．But most importantly，the fiber is better at allowing moisture to escape．Sweat in itself is not smelly．It just gets that way when in contact with the human skin．Therefore，the fact that the fabric allows it to go off gives the shirt the"super power"to stay fresh after so many wears．
You can get this magical shirt for $98，which is the current selling price on fund-raising site Kickstarter．The company hopes to use the funds collected to begin producing the shirts．If things go well，Wool & Prince is planning to introduce other clothing，including similar dresses for women．
Well，you've got your favorite pair of jeans already．You might as well add your new favorite shirts you'll never have to wash or hang up either．They are surely a perfect match!
33．What is the character of the special shirt made by Mac Brown？C
A．It can be worn for straight days without washing．
B．It has no smelly problems like other shirts．
C．It remains as fresh smell as the first day it's put on．
D．It doesn't need washing and never wrinkles．
34．The fourth paragraph mainly tells usA．
A．the advantages of the special shirt
B．the causes of keeping fresh
C．why the special shirt doesn't wrinkle easily
D．it is beneficial to human skin
35．What's the best title of the passage？D
A．Frank Lloyd Wright-the Father of American Modern Architecture
B．Frank Lloyd Wright'Buildings-On the way to World Heritage List
C．Guggenheim Museum-International Symbol of modern Architecture
D．The World Heritage List-Cultural Collection Worldwide．

7．Being Authoritative （由權威的） Parents
Phrases like"tiger mom"and‘‘helicopter parent"have made their way into everyday language．Many of us find ourselves drawn to the idea that with just a bit more parental hard work and effort，we might turn out children with bright futures．But is there anything wrong with a kind of"overparenting style"？
Parental involvement has a long history of being studied．Many of the studies，conducted by Diana Baumrind，a famous psychologist at the University of California，Berkeley，have found that a good parent is the one who is involved and reacts to her child in a positive way，who sets high expectations but gives her child independence．These"authoritative parents"appear to hit the sweet spot of parental involvement and generally raise children who do better academically，psychologically and socially than children whose parents are not strict and less involved，or controlling and more involved．Why is this parenting style so successful？
Authoritative parents actually help improve motivation in their children．Carol Dweck，a social psychologist at Stanford University，has done research that indicates why authoritative parents raise more motivated children．In a typical experiment，Dr．Dweck takes young children into a room and asks them to solve a simple puzzle．Most do so with little difficulty．But then Dr．Dweck tells some，but not all，of the kids how clever they are．As it turns out，the children who are not told they're smart are more motivated to solve increasingly difficult puzzles．They also show higher levels of confidence and show greater progress in puzzle-solving．
As the experiment suggests，praising children's talents and abilities seems to shake their confidence．Dealing with more difficult puzzles carries the risk of losing one's status as"smart"．Dr．Dweck's work strongly supports that of Dr．Baumrind，who also found that reasonably supporting a child's independence and limiting interference （干涉） causes better academic and emotional results．
The central task of growing up is to develop a sense of self that is independent and confident．If you treat your young child who is just learning to walk as if she can't walk，you reduce her confidence．Allowing children to make mistakes is one of the greatest challenges of parenting．It is easier when they are young．The potential mistakes carry greater risks，and part of being a parent is reducing risk for our children．

67．According to the passage，a"tiger mom"D．
A．helps her children realize their dreams
B．speaks her children's everyday language
C．places reasonable expectations on her children
D．pays close attention to her children's experiences
68．It is implied that controlling style of parenting mayC．
A．face more challenges of children
B．foster independence in children
C．cause more problems in children
D．lead to children's academic success
69．The example of the children doing the puzzles suggests thatB．
A．a(chǎn) good game plays a big role in training young minds
B．overpraising makes children less motivated and confident
C．puzzle-solving can give children the motivation they need
D．bright children usually show less confidence in difficult games
70．The last paragraph tells us thatC．
A．children should not be given much freedom
B．parents should not increase the risk of challenging
C．parents should allow their children to learn from mistakes
D．children should correct mistakes with the help of their parents．

14．Homeownership has let us down．For generations，Americans believed that owning a home was undoubtedly good．Our political leaders hammered home the point．Franklin Roosevelt held that a country of homeowners was"unconquerable．"Homeownership could even save babies，save children，save families and save America．A house with a lawn and a fence wasn't just a nice place to live in or a risk-free investment； it was a way to transform a nation．No wonder leaders of all political types wanted to spend more than﹩100billion a year on subsidies and tax breaks to encourage people to buy．
But the dark side of homeownership is now all too apparent：Indeed，easy lending stimulated by the cult of homeownership may have triggered the financial crisis．Housing remains a drag on the economy．Existing-home sales in April dropped 27% from the prior month，worsening fears of a double-dip．And all that is just the obvious tale of a housing bubble and what happened when it popped．The real story is deeper and darker still．
For the better part of a century，politics，industry and culture lined up to create a fetish of the idea of buying a house．Homeownership has done plenty of good over the decades； it has provided stability to tens of millions of families．Yet by idealizing the act of buying a home，we have ignored the downsides．In the bubble years，lending standards slipped dramatically，allowing many Americans to put far too much of their income into paying for their housing．And we ignored longer-term phenomena too．Homeownership contributed to the hollowing out of cities and kept renters out of the best neighborhoods．It fed America's overuse of energy and oil．It made it more difficult for those who had lost a job to find another．Perhaps worst of all，it helped us become casually self-deceiving：By telling ourselves that homeownership was a pathway to wealth and stable communities and better test scores，we avoided dealing with these frightening issues head-on．
Now，as the U．S．recovers from the biggest housing bust（破產(chǎn)）since the Great Depression，it is time to rethink how realistic our expectations of homeownership are-and how much money we want to spend chasing them．Many argue that homeownership should not be a goal pursued at all costs．

67．Political leaders wanted to spend money encouraging people to buy houses becauseD．
A．owning a home was undoubtedly good
B．homeownership was unconquerable
C．houses could save families and America

B．there might be another housing breakdown in the U．S．

A．it is hard for Americans to get a home loan
B．it is the way to wealth to have one's own house

11．Xiangzi-Lucky，in English-is appropriately named．His owner Qiu Hong，a sports marketer，lets the dog enjoy two daily walks，a collection of imported American toys，$300 worth of monthly food and treats and his own sofa in her high-rise apartment．When Ms．Qiu feels bored，she takes Xiangzi out for a long run in her car．
In a sense，Xiangzi is not just a dog，but a social phenomenon-and，perhaps，a marker of how quickly the Chinese nation is booming through its transformation from poor farmer to first-world citizen．Twenty years ago，there were hardly any dogs in Beijing，but now there're 900，000 registered dogs with countless thousands of others unlicensed．How this came to be is，in some ways，the story of modern China as well．
"People used to be focused on improving their own lives，and they weren't really acquainted with raising dogs，"said Ms．Qiu．"But with the improvement in the economy，people's outlooks （觀念） have changed．"
Having a dog can be a way to relieve the stress in people's lives，but mostly Beijing dogs have，as in the West，become objects of affection-even devotion-by their owners．It's easy to find dog-treat stores，dog Web sites，dog social networks，dog swimming pools-even，for a time recently，a bring-your-dog cinema and a bring-your-dog bar on Beijing's downtown nightclub row．
The doglike devotion of pet owners here seems to have softened the city government heart．In 1994，Beijing officials relaxed their no-dog policy to"severely restrict"dogs．In 2003，it was changed again to allow anyone to own a dog，but to limit city dogs to no more than 35 centimeters  in height．And nowadays the restriction seems to be loosely carried out．
As for stir-fried Pekingese （京叭狗）-well，that dog，too，may have seen its day．A formal suggestion to ban the eating of dogs has been made by a law professor named Chang Jiwen，who considered himself"not so much a dog lover as a China lover"．"With China developing so quickly，more people should know how to treat animals properly，"he said in a telephone interview．

8．How has smoking been controlled in recent years？
People were asked to stop smoking in a range of public places over the second half of the 20th century but it was after the King's Cross Underground fire on November 18，1987，caused by a cigarette end which resulted in 31deaths，that restrictions on smoking in public places gained rapid and widespread acceptance．
How did a ban on smoking in public places come into place？
In 1998the Smoking Kills White Paper set out a national strategy to reduce smoking prevalence （流行） and passive smoking，including in public places．The measures were voluntary and poorly carried out．After a public conference in England in 2004，the Government decided to choose for lawmaking．Scotland went first，with a ban in 2006，followed by the other nations a year later．
What is the current law？
Any person who smokes in enclosed public places，including pubs，offices，on public transport and work vehicles，is breaking the law．It does not extend to private houses．It is also an offence for people in charge of premises （營業(yè)場所） to permit others to smoke in them．
How was it received？
It was welcomed by most organizations-except for some pub owners and restaurateurs．All railway facilities are covered，as are all football grounds and stadiums．School grounds are not required to be smoke-free under the legislation（法規(guī)），but the majority now are．
How has it been forced？
Compliance （服從） in public premises has been high，with inspections suggesting that 99per cent of places were sticking to the rules．The number of people charged for smoking in cars has been very low，which was due to the problems defining and identifying"work"vehicles．They said that a total ban on smoking in vehicles would end this confusion．
Has it improved health？
Studies in early adopters of the law suggest a reduction in hospital admissions for heart disease，which has been shown to be linked to passive smoking．There is also strong evidence of a drop in the number of cigarettes consumed by those who continue to smoke．

64．When did the first law come out to ban smoking in public places？D
A.1987．  B.1998．   C.2004．  D.2006．
65．Which of the following behaviors may NOT be against the law？C
A．Jack often smokes in the office when he is alone．
B．A taxi driver is smoking with a lady in his car．
C．Tom smokes while thinking of his future at home．
D．Max smokes for relaxation during time-out in the stadium．
66．Who might feel unhappy about the law according to the article？A
A．A restaurant owner．   B．A company manager．
C．A car owner．          D．A policy maker．
67．What can you infer from the article？B
A．Most heart diseases have been proved to be linked to passive smoking．
B．A new law may soon come out with a total ban on smoking in vehicles．
C．The 1987fire has convinced more people that smoking is bad for health．
D．Most of the school grounds are not smoke-free，as it is not banned in the law．
