The name sounds funny but the idea is no joke: it’s a personal toilet called the pee-pool, Anders Wilhelmson, a Swedish architect, is the inventor of the pee-pool.

He became interested in the idea of sanitation after taking part in a research project on the social and political development of cities. One of the most common problems he found in developing countries was the lack of toilets. He wanted to do something to help, so working with others, he started the project in 2005, and the next year started a company called Peepoolple.

The toilet is a single-use bag made of environmentally friendly plastics. The inside is treated with urea(尿素), a chemical commonly used as fertilizer. The hotter the weather, the more quickly the waste turns into what is needed by plants. The sanitation process can be as soon as a couple of hours or as long as two to four weeks, you can just bury it in a pot and grow whatever you like.

The company expects to start selling the bags in August in Kenya and Bangladesh, but it is just beginning production and sales in Nairobi now. Full production could reach about half a million bags a day and people may be able to buy the pee-pool in countries Vietnam, Bangladesh, etc.

The United Nations says more than two and a half billion people around the world do not have good sanitation. Many have no choice but to use the outdoors, which is not only bad for the environment, but also harmful to people’s health. Each year, poor sanitation leads to three fifths of those people getting an infectious disease which on average causes one out of 1,000 patients to die.

Jack Smith, the founder of the World Toilet Organization, says “This is quite an unacceptable situation given the fact that we are living in the modern world, and strangely, many of them own televisions, phones but have no toilet.”

1.What was the original purpose of Anders Wilhelmson in starting the company?

A. To protect the local environment.

B. To earn a lot of money from the project.

C. To do research on the social development.

D. To help solve the problem of lack of toilets in developing countries.

2.What can be learned about the pee-pool from the passage?

A. It can be used over again.

B. Its sanitation process doesn’t last long.

C. It works better in summer than in winter.

D. It should be buried in a pot after being used.

3.In which place can people buy the Pee-pool now?

A. Nairobi.            B. Kenya.            C. Sweden.            D. Bangladesh.

4.The fifth paragraph is written mainly to tell us that ________.

A. poor sanitation may cause many problems

B. many people don’t care for the environment

C. many people get ill from using the outdoors

D. quite a number of people die from poor sanitation

5.The underlined word “This” in the last paragraph probably refers to ________.

A. the outdoors being damaged

B. many places being short of toilets

B

The first step for the accomplishment of every act is the attitude of the person who wants to do something with his life. If you are the type of person who is always optimistic and has faith in your strengths then half of the job is already taken care of.

It is quite difficult to change the way you think or how you perceive(发现) reality and all the things

around you. It is useless if your friends keep pushing you to see life in another way, to be always optimistic, to laugh more and always think at the “pink” version of things. You get annoyed by everybody giving you pieces of advice. It is only you who can decide to have this great change of personality. Not only will you see things from another perspective(角度) but life itself will come to be different, meaning more exciting and more interesting.

For me every age has its beauty and one should always know how to live to the full every aspect of it. When you are a child you spend all your time playing and you don’t have anything to worry about; as the years pass you become more concerned with whatever goes around you, with the problems you have to take care of. You should always keep your sense of humor and never forget to smile. Not only the smile makes you more beautiful but it also makes you see life with other eyes.

You only have one life and you have to live it to the full every day, as if it were the last day of your existence so as not to get the point in which you are sorry you didn’t know how to live.

41. The most important thing for a person to make his dream come true is _________.

A. to try to work hard                                B. to do something with his life

C. to have a strong belief                              D. to face difficulty bravely

42. In the author’s opinion, which is the best way to see life correctly?

A. Getting help from friends.                            B. Finding a way yourselves.

C. Always being optimistic.                        D. Seeing life in different ways.

43. Paragraph 3 mainly tells us ___________.

A. not worrying too much is very important to people

B. keeping humor and smile is very important to children

C. how to deal with problems

D. how to find beauty in life

44. Which of the following best agrees with the passage?

A. Helping others is a good quality.

B. People’s advice always makes you angry.

C. The life you live depends on the way you see it.

D. The author has nothing to worry about in his life.

45. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Could we change our attitude?  B. Do you enjoy life?

The most typical definition of success is “the accomplishment of an aim or purpose” or what most of us have heard: the attainment of popularity or profit. But is success really defined by purposes or profit?

After graduating from high school, my family advised me to aim to build a successful career. My options were narrowed down to becoming a doctor or choosing a field in engineering. So I graduated with a chemical engineering degree. I was advised to aim for graduate (研究生的) studies, and in less than two years, I had a highly specialized degree in plastics engineering from one of the most reputable universities in the U.S. Then I found a corporate job, performed well in the organization, climbed up the ladder (晋升的阶梯) and made a bigger paycheque with every new title. My proud parents told my story to the rest of the family and friends as a “success” story.

No matter where we live in the world, we all have our own versions of success. Our families take pride in telling the world how successful we are in our profession, and often the only measure of that success becomes the financial wealth we accumulate. In a world where everything is reflected by numbers—the likes on Facebook, the number of views on You Tube, etc—every aspect of our life is being taken over by numbers. We are conditioned to believe that the stronger your financial standing, the higher you rank on the success chart. But remember the words “aim” or “purpose,” in the definition of success. Altruistic figures such as Mother Teresa, Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. also lived successful lives but had selfless concern over the well-being of others. While the rest of the world focused on accumulating wealth, they focused on giving, doing, and creating for everyone else.

Wealth alone never will be the measure of success. Think beyond profits. No promotion I ever received in my professional career was because of my deep desire to obtain a better title or higher pay; instead, it was based on the excellence I created in the experience our customers had with the organization.

1.What do you know about the author?

A. He has lived up to his family’s expectations.

B. He asks his parents for advice on everything.

C. He doesn’t like his job though he is well paid.

D. He wanted to be a doctor but became a chemical engineer.

2.What's the common awareness around the world?

A. Social connections.　　 B. Contributions to society.

C. The accumulation of financial wealth.　　 D. The accomplishment of personal dreams.

3.What does the underlined word “Altruistic” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Of abundant wealth.

B. Of few achievements.

C. Devoted to others’ welfare.

D. Focused on personal well-being.

4.What inspiration can be drawn from the author's working experience?

A. Change jobs frequently for higher pay.

B. Aim at providing quality service at work.

C. Take every chance to get promotion.

D. Focus on making profits from the customers.

5.What's the author’s purpose in writing this passage?

A. To explore the true meaning of success.

B. To express his inner voice to his parents.

C. To acknowledge the help he has received in his life.

D. To share his personal experience for others’ reference.

In the near future，we may be using our eyes to operate our smart-phones and tablets，even when it comes to playing popular games like Fruit Ninja．

The Gaze Group has been developing eye-controlled computer technology for nearly 20 years．But those devices have been firstly designed to help those with disabilities，and are very expensive．

“After a while，we figured out that probably the best way is to go for a mass-market way，” says Gaze’s Sune Alstrup Johansen．“where everybody would have this available．"

Johansen and some of his colleagues have formed a new company，the Eye Tribe，which is hoping to develop the technology on a mass commercial level．

The technology works with the help of the computing device toward the user’s face． After making sure of the user’s eye movements，the technology is then able to easily find where a person’s eyes are moving，and then allow the eyes to control a cursor（光标）．

“Our software can then determine the location of the eyes and know where you’re looking on the screen to make sure what you’re looking at，“reads an explanation on the Eye Tribe site．

There has been a gradual change toward hands-free technology in recent years， particularly in the gaming world．Recently Xbox released the Kinect device，which lets users control their Xbox and play certain games using only their hands，legs and voices． But still，most of these devices have been more of a gimmick than a practical way to use one’s hands to control a mobile device．Johansen said a replaceable filter（滤光器）would be a cheap，convenient way for most consumers．

And even as companies like The Eye Tribe work to create such a product for the average user, making the eye-controlled technology more accessible and less expensive will have similar benefits for physically disabled users.
