He calmed the monster as much as he could, and started talking to him, asking him why he was crying, and what he was doing there.

Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）

A different kind of alarm clock

When Matty Sallin, 24, was studying art and technology at New York University, he got an interesting task for the final exam: Create something for the ordinary family. He decided to create an alarm clock.

“To get up in time, many people have to use an alarm clock every morning. But the sound of the clock is extremely noisy and unpleasant,” he says. So before he started to design the new clock; he asked different people what they’d like to wake up to in the morning, and lots of them said, “The smell of bacon（培根）.”

So Sallin and his two classmates invented a new kind of alarm clock: a wooden box with a pig face and a digital clock that uses the smell of cooking bacon to wake people up. He explains, “There’s no danger of burning, because I built it carefully. It uses special light bulbs（灯泡） instead of fire for cooking and turns off automatically after ten minutes.” Just a few easy steps are required to set the “alarm”.

“What you do is to put a few pieces of bacon meat inside the box the night before, then you set the alarm,” says Sallin. “If you set the alarm for 8: 00, it will turn on at 7:50 and slow cook for ten minutes under the bulbs. Then the bulbs turn off and a fan blows the smell out through the nose of the pig.”

“So the pleasant smell of bacon will wake you up. There will be no more noisy alarms,” says Sallin. “Then you can open the door on the side and pull the bacon out and eat it.”

When Sallin was a kid, he spent a lot of time making drawings of inventions. “I wanted to make a lift in my back yard and a special tree house,” he says. “But I never really thought I’d become an inventor！”

Sallin got an A for his alarm clock and went on to invent other thing, but people continue to email him every day asking where they can buy his alarm clock. If he decides to produce and sell his special alarm clock, maybe he can build a successful business out of it.

1.What was Matty Sallin？

______________________________________________________

2.How many people worked together on the new alarm clock？

__________________________________________________________

3.How long did it take to cook the bacon？

_________________________________________________________________

4.Why are light bulbs used for cooking bacon instead of fire？

_______________________________________________________________________

5.What’s special about Sallin’s alarm clock？

_________________ wakes people up instead of the loud alarm.

6.What do you think of the new alarm clock？

Now it was Jerry's turn. And Jerry would ride Wild Lady! I watched Jerry in the cute.

Jerry dropped down on the horse's back. He was ready to go. "Outside!" He called.

The gate of the cute opened. And then nothing. Wild Lady didn't move. What was the matter?

Suddenly Wild Lady jumped out like a tiger. She jumped—with all four feet off the ground. She was quick, still I could see Jerry's spurs（马刺）. He had them in the right place.

Again Wild Lady jumped, kicking and turning. Then she began a quick turn. Now I knew why all the riders were afraid of her. Around and around she went. Again and again she dug her front legs into the ground and kicked up behind. Jerry's neck moved back each time the horse jumped.

I was trying to count off the seconds with my fingers. But I was lost in the watching. I dug my nails（指甲）into my hand until it hurt. Wild Lady jumped higher and higher.

Again the horse threw Jerry into the air. The people around me stood up. I couldn't see what was happening. But I heard, "Come on!" That was Jerry landing on the horse's back. Everybody was shouting. And they were still shouting when the bell rang. It was all over, Jerry had stayed on that horse for eight long seconds.

Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）

I grew up in a small town in Italy. One morning when I was 16, Dad told me I could drive him into a village, about 18 miles away, if I took the car to be serviced （保养）at a nearly garage. Thinking that I had just learned to drive, and hardly had the chance to use the car I agreed happily. I drove Dad into the village and made sure to pick him up at 4 pm. Then I drove to a nearby garage and dropped off the car. Because there were still a few hours to be left, I decided to watch movies at a theatre near the garage. But, when the last movie finished, I was two hours late. I was afraid of the result being late. I thought if dad knew what I had done，he could never let me drive again. So when I drove up the place where we had planned to meet and saw dad waiting patiently on the comer. I told him that I had come as quickly as I could, but the car had needed some special repairs.

“I'm terribly sorry that you have to lie to me, Janson.”

“What do you mean. Dad? I'm telling the truth.”

“I called the garage to ask if there were any problems, and they told me that you had not yet picked up the car. So I know there were no problems with the car. I’m angry not with you but with myself. You see. I’ve failed as a father, so I’m going to walk home now and think carefully about where I have gone wrong all these years.”

“But it’s dark, and it's 18 miles to walk home.”

I pleased（请求）all the way, telling him how sorry I was. But nothing helped. I had to drive behind him for 18 miles.

It was one of the most painful moments I had ever had. But it was the best lesson.

My _______

“The atlas（地图册）I grew up with was a hand-me-down from my brother, dog-eared Collins World Atlas.

This became my favourite book, and I was touched that he thought I was grown-up enough to appreciate it.

After wars, my atlas was considered incorrect and out of date and I had to buy a new one for school. But I still missed the well-used pages and old-book smell. I carefully tore（撕）pages out of my old atlas, and glued them on cardboard. My father helped me to cut them into jigsaw puzzles as gifts for my friends.

Google search is an easy way to find various places, but I still prefer to search for exotic places in a real-turning atlas. One day it may be priceless!”

Rosemary Francis

“When I was 13, I wanted a horse of my own. Finally my parents softened to the idea and bought me a beautiful part-Arabian horse. To settle on a name, my father suggested I open our atlas to the page on Saudi Arabia, close my eyes and place my finger randomly（随机地）on the page. Bandar Shah（Royal Port）was a wonderful horse.”

Melanie Egan

“When I retired after 20 years with the same boss Reader’s Digest, I did not expect to be given a gold watch. I certainly did not expect to be given a Reader’s Digest Atlas of the World. But that is exactly what my co-workers decided I needed. For the next 15 years that atlas was used by my family to settle geographic arguments and plan trips abroad. Sadly, wear and tear forced its retirement, too.”

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)

Mexico, the largest nation in the region, provides a good example of life in Central America. Although Mexico is a large country, only 12 percent of its land is good for farming. Another 40 percent is good land for cattle and farm animals. The rest of the land is hills and mountains, dry, high plateaus, or wet coastal regions.

The mountains are too high to farm. The high plateau in the middle of Mexico is too dry to plant crops. The coastal areas receive so much rain that the land often becomes waterlogged(水涝的). For all these reasons, Mexicans must take care of the good farmland they have. Yet good farming has not always been possible in Mexico.

For many centuries, Mexican farmers had grown traditional crops. These included corn, beans and squash. However, when the Spanish arrived in the 1500s, they tried to introduce new ideas. They thought new plants such as onions, turnips, sugarcanes and bananas would do well in the warm, tropical climate. But the Mexicans wished to continue(继续) with their old ways.

1.How much of the land in Mexico is good land for cattle and farm animals?

2.The high plateau in the middle of Mexico is a good farmland, isn’t it?

3.Why aren’t the coastal areas good for farming?

4.What did Spanish try to do in the 1500s?

5.Did the Mexicans want to grow the new crops?
