Twenty cents! My mind reeled（震驚）. I could afford it. I got a weekly allowance of 25 cents, plus some  45  for odd jobs（零活）. But  46 it was my money, ice cream wasn’t a good use of it. In a fit of  47 , I said, “Well, in that case, I guess I’ll   48  .”My father just said, “Okay, Son.”

For five days, Edmonton's Downtown Park is transformed into one huge stage where artists are able to share their talents, and where people are able to celebrate and enjoy themselves .Since is beginning in 1980,the Edmonton Folk Music Festival has been commemorating(紀念）the true feeling of what folk music is all about and that's the traditional togetherness(友愛）that is felt when people gather to share stories and feelings through song.
This year will be the sixth year when volunteer Riedel will be offering up her time to the festival. "People coming off a busy spring and summer have a moment of relaxation." Riedel said. "It's really easy to relax, and it's great seeing family and friends have fun together." These families and friends come from all different kinds of musical tastes. People who take pleasure in Blues are there, so are people who love Bluegrass. This festival does its best to develop everyone's musical interests.
With so many years of experience, the festival has become a well-oiled machine, and does whatever it can to make attendees feel as comfortable as possible. There are free water stations throughout the venue(舉辦地)for people to fill up their travel cups. When people buy food, reusable dishes are given a $2 plate fee, but that is returned when the plate is brought back.
The festival has completely sold out of tickets, and in record time .But with big names such as Van Morrison and Jacob Dylan, it’s easy to see how that was going to happen. The festival has completely sold out of tickets, and in record time, so using the same Park and Ride system or Edmonton Transit is highly recommended .A bike lock-up area is provided and will be available Thursday until Sunday one hour before the gates open until 45 minutes after the gates close.
The Edmond Folk Music Festival begins on Wednesday, Aug 4 with Van Morrison plaything the special donation fund concert, and will finish up on Sunday,Aug 8.

One evening in February 2007 . a student named Paula Ceely brought her car to a stop on a remote in Wales . She got out to open a metal gate that blocked her path . That's when she heard the whistle sounded by the driver of a train.Her Renault Clio parked across a railway line. Second later,she watched  the train drag her car almost a kilometre down the railway tracks.
Ceely's near miss  made the news because she blamed it on her GPS device(導航儀).She had never driven the route before .It was dark and raining heavily . Ceely was relying on her GPS. But it made no mention of the crossing ."I put my complete trust in the device and it led me right into the path of a speeding train ,"she told the BBC.
W ho is to blame here ? Rick Stevenson ,who tells Ceely's story in his book When Machines Fail US, finger at the limitations of technology. We put our faith in digital devices, he says,
but our digital helpers are too often not up to the job. They are filled with small  problems. And it’s not just GPS devices: Stevenson takes us on a tour of digital disasters involving everything from mobile phones to wireless key boards.
The problem with his argument in the book is that it’s  not clear why he only focuses digital technology,while  there may be a number of other possible  causes. A map-maker might have left the crossing off a paper map. Maybe we should blame Ceely for not paying attention. perhaps the railway authorities are at fault for poor signaling system. Or maybe someone has studied the relative dangers and worked out that there really is something specific wrong with the CPS equipment. But Stevenson doesn’t say.
It’s a problem that runs through the book. In a section on cars, Stevenson gives an accout of the advanced techniques that criminals use to defeat computer-based locking systems for cars. He offers two independent sets of figures on car theft; both show a small rise in some parts of the country. He says that once once again not all new locks have proved reliable. Perhaps, but maybe it’s also due to the shortage of policemen on the streets. Or changing social circumstances. Or some combination of these factors .
The game between humans and their smart devices  is complex. It is shaped by economics and psychology and the cultures we live in. Somewhere in the mix of those forces there may be  way a wiser use of technology.
If there is such a way, it should involve more than just  an awareness of the shortcomings of our machines. After all, we have lived with them for thousands  of years. They have probably been fooling us for just as long .
小題1:What did Paula Ceely think was the cause of her accident?           
A．Shewasnotfamiliarwiththeroad.
B．Itwasdarkandrainingheavilythen.
C．The railway works failed to give the signal.
D．Her GPS device didn’t tell her about the crossing
小題2:The phrase”near miss” (paragraph 2 ) can best be replaced by _______.
A．closebitB．heavylossC．narrow escapeD．bigmistake
小題3:Which of the following would Rick Stevenson most probably agree with?          
A．Moderntechnologyiswhatwe can’tlivewithout.
B．Digitaltechnologyoftenfalls shortofoutexpectation.
C．Digitaldevicesaremore reliablethantheyusedtobe.
D．GPSerrorisnottheonly causeforCelery’saccident.
小題4:
In the writer’s opinion, Stevenson’s argument is________.
A．one-sidedB．reasonableC．puzzlingD．well-based
小題5:
What is the real concern of the writer of this article?
A．The major causes of traffic accidents and car thefts.
B．The relationship between humans and technology
C．Theshortcomingsofdigital devicesweuse.
D．Thehuman unawarenessoftechnicalproblems.

The disaster at the Chernobyl(former USSR前蘇聯(lián)) power station happened quickly and without warning. It was in the early hours of April 26, 1986 when the cooling system of the reactor(反應堆) failed. Minutes later, a violent (猛烈地) explosion blew the top off the reactor and blasted(爆炸生成) a huge cloud of radioactive gas high into atmosphere. Two people were killed immediately. Hundreds received powerful radiation overdose (過量). And more than 25,000 had to be taken away from their homes.
Days later, the radioactive cloud had spread as far as Scotland. Its radiation was weak, but all over Europe radioactive rain was falling. In some areas people were advised not to eat fresh vegetables, or drink fresh milk, and the sale of meat was forbidden.
The accident at Chernobyl was the world’s worst nuclear accident. In Britain, it convinced (使……相信) many people that all nuclear power stations should be shut down for good. But the Central Electricity Generating Board didn’t agree. They claimed that ·similar disasters could not happen in Britain because of safer designs, fewer deaths are caused using nuclear fuel (燃料) than by mining for coal or drilling for oil and gas. Nuclear accidents are unusually fewer compared with other types of accidents-such as air crashes, fires or dam break-down more nuclear power stations are necessary because the world’s supplies of oil, coal and natural gas are running out.
In 1957 in Cumbria (Britain) a nuclear reactor overheated and caught fire. No one was killed but fourteen workers received radiation overdose. Small amounts of gas and dust were let out over the local countryside.
An official report said the accident was nearly a full-scale disaster. The Nuclear Authority wanted the report published but the Prime Minister at the time refused. He thought that it would make people less confident in Britain’s nuclear industry. Thirty years later, the cabinet(內閣) records of 1957 were published. Only then did the public discover what had really happened in Cumbria.
小題1:. One result of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster was that ______.
A．25,000 people were killed
B．fresh foods were polluted
C．people in Scotland were taken away from their homes
D．hundreds of houses in Chernobyl were destroyed
小題2:.According to the passage, nuclear accidents______.
A．are most unlikely to cause deathB．are always kept secret from the public
C．can only happen in underdeveloped countriesD．may happen in any country that has nuclear power station.
小題3:. After the nuclear accident at Chernobyl many people in Britain _______.
A．still believed it could not happen in their country.
B．were not convinced that nuclear power stations could be safe
C．accepted that there would be fewer deaths than in drilling for oil
D．supported nuclear power stations because world fuel supplies were low
小題4:.. The British Government refused to publish the report on the Cumbria accident because _______.
A．Britain’s supplies of oil, coal and gas were running out
B．it takes thirty years for the effects of radiation to appear
C．fewer people died in that accident than in other types of accidents
D．it was concerned that the British people would doubt their country’s nuclear expertise (核技術)

John Blanchard was studying the crowd making their way through the station. He was looking for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he didn’t, the girl with the rose.
When reading a book in a Florida library a year before, John became interested not in the contents of the book, but in the notes penciled in the margin(（空白處）. The handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and beautiful mind. He discovered the former owner’s name in the front of the book: Miss Hollis Maynell.
He located her address and wrote a letter introducing himself. The next day he was shipped overseas to serve in the army. During the next year,they grew to know each other through the mail and their friendship developed. John requested a photograph, but she refused, saying if he really cared, it wouldn’t matter what
she looked like. When the day finally came for him to return home, their first meeting was suggested-7:00 p.m. at the Grand Central Station in New York.
She wrote, “You’ll recognize me by the red rose I wear on my coat.” So now John was in the station to meet the girl with a rose.
As a pretty and slim girl in green came over, John noticed her blue eyes like flowers in spring. He walked directly towards her, entirely forgetting she was not wearing a rose. As John came closer to her, he saw another woman with a red rose stood nearby. Well past 40, this woman had graying hair done under a worn hat. Seeing the girl in green walk quickly away, John felt as if he were split(劈開) in two. He desired to follow that girl, but longed for the woman whose spirit had truly companioned and supported him.
The woman looked gentle and sensible. John went to her, saying, “I’m Captain John Blanchard. You must be Miss Maynell. I am glad to meet you here. May I take you to dinner?”
She replied with a smile, “I don’t know what this is about. But the lady in green who just went by, begged me to wear this rose on my coat. She said if you asked me out to dinner, I’d tell you she is waiting for you in the big restaurant across the street. She said it was some kind of test!”
小題1:
John was eager to know the former owner of the book because      .
A．he was very interested in the contents of the book
