The town of Green Bank, West Virginia, is the site of the largest radio telescope in the world, so Internet connections and anything else that can create electromagnetic(電磁的) waves, such as smart phones and microwave ovens, are banned.
Green Bank is frozen in time, somewhere in the 1950s, because there’s a 33,000-square-kilometer zone of silence due to the telescope. Cell phone towers are forbidden.
The closer you get to the telescope, the greater the restrictions. There’s a 16-kilometer radius(半徑) around the observatory where radio-controlled items, even toys, cannot be used.
Telescope employees even work in a special room that blocks electromagnetic waves from leaving it. “Here imagine a submarine(潛艇), water cannot get inside, and so this room is an electric submarine. No electromagnetic waves can get into this room, just as you can’t go beyond it,” Michael Holstein, an observatory officer, said.
The size of a football field, the telescope is so sensitive that it could pick up signals sent from an alien world. And scientists can’t wait for that to happen.
“All the signals that we now receive with the help of telescopes are signals that come from cosmic objects — stars, galaxies. We have not yet received anything from intelligent civilizations,” scientist Richard Lynch said.
Local people respect the work of the scientists. “Yes, we are different. Many would say that we live the old-fashioned way, in the past. But for us, it’s just the way of life that we have always lived,” Sherry said.
“When we want to meet friends, we just call each other on a wire phone. And instead of sitting in front of your screen, we talk, we go fishing, to the mountains,” resident Sherry said.
For the latest news, residents read the weekly local newspaper. When she’s looking for a phone number, Sherry reaches for the phone book.
And instead of Facebook, Sherry enjoys daily conversations with her customers. In this town, everyone knows each other and communication is face to face.
1.Why do people in Green Bank live an old-fashioned life?
A. The town is economically less developed.
B. Electronic products will affect the radio telescope.
C. They have got used to it and don’t want to change.
D. The radio telescope stops electronic products working properly.
2.What can we learn about the radio telescope?
A. It was set up about in the 1950s.
B. It is in a room without electromagnet.
C. It is 16-kilometer in radius.
D. It has picked up signals from aliens.
3.How do the local people feel about their life?
A. Inspired. B. Unhappy.
C. Content. D. Worried.
4.What can be the best title for the text?
A. High tech with traditional life at Green Bank
B. Radio telescope to receive alien signals

I know that there are times when friends are apart for a while – or even forever – and that your lives take different paths. Yet, I always hope for a happy ending. I know that friends reconnect again when it makes sense.
My friend Julie and I had a long period in our friendship. We used to see each other daily. I would eat brown rice in her kitchen while we shared our secrets.
Later, we celebrated each other’s weddings. My husband and I welcomed Julie’s first son (born on my birthday). By the time he was learning to walk, Julie and her family had moved to another city. We spoke on the phone sometimes and exchanged Christmas cards.
After they welcomed their third son, they moved to Edmonton, which is a farther city. We haven’t seen each other since then. They changed their phone numbers. I received a letter from her, but I couldn’t find that envelope later. I e-mailed her a few times, but didn’t get a reply.
It was painful not to be in touch with an old friend. I let it go. I knew that Julie and I would reconnect again, when it made sense.
Last year, Julie’s husband got in touch with me on Facebook. I felt something bad, and soon my feeling proved true: Julie had passed away the month before. She died of cancer.
I regretted that I had not been part of Julie’s support system, or the last years of her joyous, painful time on Earth. I cried. I’m so sorry, Julie, for counting on more chances.
Last week, I donated my hair in memory of Julie to make wigs (假發(fā)) for cancer patients. It was a small way of showing that I loved her and will never forget her. And that I look forward to us reconnecting again – when it makes sense.

It's not right for an adult to leave a child locked in a parked car in the burning heat while they chat with a friend or do anything else without supervising their child. This kind of behavior is so wrong that states have even carried out laws allowing good citizens to rescue trapped kids. Unluckily one Georgia man learned that these laws aren't true to pets after he decided to save a dog and was arrested(逮捕).
According to a story from USA Today, Michael Hammons, used his wife's wheelchair leg to break the window of a parked car after hearing from bystanders that there was a dog inside.
One witness(目擊者)told reporters that“if it is 80 degrees outside, within 30 minutes, it will be 114 degrees inside a car, even with the windows broken.” Bystanders had reportedly already phoned 911 before and were waiting for police to arrive, but for Hammons there was no time to lose.
Police were forced to take action after the owner of both the dog and car came out of the store and requested police arrest Hammons. Oconee County Chief Deputy Lee Weems told USA Today, “We would not have made those charges on our own.” But the owner of the car insisted that Hammons be charged with criminal trespassing(非法入侵). The dog's owner said that she had only been gone five minutes, even though bystanders said it was actually much longer. No matter how long it actually was, the decision to leave her dog locked in a car in 80 degree weather wasn't a bright one on her part. Interestingly enough, USA Today reports that Georgia state law does allow a person to break a window to save a child in a hot or cold car, just not a pet.
1.What does the underlined word “supervising” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Watching. B. Raising.
C. Feeding. D. Helping.
2.The police arrested Hammons according to________.
A. the car owner's evidence B. a witness' words
C. their own judgment D. the Georgia state law
3.What do we know about Hammons?
A. He was praised by his wife.
B. He knew the law well before the rescue.
C. He saved the dog at the request of bystanders.
D. He used a wheelchair to break the car window.
4.What's the main idea of the text?
A. A witness reported an accident to the police.
B. A man saved a dog but got arrested.
C. A dog was saved from a hot car.
D. A woman found her car broken
