Don’t you just hate it when you have to take an important phone call and you’re surrounded by potential eavesdroppers(潜在偷听者)? You either have to whisper or go outside to keep the conversation private, which is not good. Now Hushme aims to fix this problem by muffling your voice and making you look like Bane in the film Batman.

Hushme is a strange high-tech mask(口罩)that blocks the sound of the wearer’s voice so that people nearby can’t hear what is being said. It connects to your phone via Blucetooth and comes with a pair of earphones. When you get a private call, all you have to do is put the mask on and it will do the rest. The pair of thick pads over your mouth does a good job of muffling your voice, but to ensure nothing gets through. Hushme also has speakers that play a variety of sounds when you speak.

The Hushme mask, which comes in a variety of colors, can be worn around the neck, like a regular pair of earphones, and attaches in front of your mouth thanks to a couple of very powerful magnets(磁铁). It’s not yet clear how comfortable speaking with this Bane-like mask over your mouth really is, or how effective its speech muffling ability is, so we know so far is that it makes you look strange. The sound choices for covering your voice currently include wind, ocean, rain, birds, monkey, but new ones could be added in the future.

Advertised as the “world’s first voice mask for mobile phones’. Hushme was showed at CES. At the becoming of this year. Its makers plan to sell it by the end of this year. It will cost about $200.

Do you have any of these bad habits ? Check yourself by answering  “yes”or“no” to these questions.

a)      Do you move your lips when reading silently ?

b)     Do you point to words with your fingers as you read ?

c)      Do you move your head from side to side as you read ?

d)     Do you read one word at a time ?

If your answer “yes”  to any of these questions , start at once to break the habits. If you move your lips, hold your fingers over them, or hold a piece of paper between your lips while you are reading. Then when your lips move, you will know it and stop them. If you point to words, hold the two sides of your book, one side with your left hand, the other side with your right hand. Then you won’t have a free finger to use in pointing while reading. If you move your head, place your chin in one hand, and hold your head still.

If you read no more than one word at a time, you need to work in learning to take in more words at each glance as your eyes travel across the lines of words. Even if you read fairly fast now, you can learn to even faster. As you probably have been told, the secret of fast reading is to take in whole groups of words at each glance. Read in several groups and force your eyes along the lines of words as fast as you can make them go. Anyone who practices doing these two things will be able to read faster.

56. What do you think of those habits talked about in the text _________.

A. we should remember those habits

B. they should be got rid of

C. they are difficult to get rid of

D. they are good for our studies

57. You may hold your finger over your lips while reading so as to __________.

A. hold a piece of paper between your lips

B. keep yourself from talking to others

C. tell others to be silent

D. feel whether your lips move or not

58. When your eyes travel across the lines of words, you need to __________.

A. read the words out

B. look at every word carefully

C. read several words at a time

D. remember every word

59. If you can read fairly fast now, __________.

A. you don’t need to learn to read faster

B. you can go on reading like that

C. you can learn to read even faster

D. you can enjoy reading

True friends are rare to make these days. Even if you believe you’ve connected with someone, how do you really know he is a true friend? And often you will find that someone who you thought you could trust may disappoint you. There are ways you can know if a friendship is true and how you can hold onto that friend.

A true friend is someone who will be there for you no matter what happens. Through good times and bad times, they will stand by you. They will accept you for who you are without trying to change you, and they will be there to help you grow in new ways.

Trust is another important aspect. A true friend will keep your secrets. You can depend on them. They will listen and be someone you know you can talk things over with, even if they may not have advice to share with you.

Friendship is a two-way street. To find true friends and keep them, you must in turn be the same as well. Be there for them in their hard times and share the good times with them. Be someone your friends can depend on and offer them the same things they give to you. A friendship will fall apart fast if only one person is giving and putting all the effort in. To keep a true friendship, you must be honest.

There will be barriers in the road but that is the test of true friendship. If it can survive those barriers, it will be stronger and last forever. St Thomas Aquinas said, “There is nothing on this earth more prized than friendship” and it holds true.

How do you know if the perfect house you have found is in the perfect neighborhood？When driving by on a sunny Sunday afternoon，you cannot see the true nature of the area.All too often people will fall in love with a house without taking the nearby area into consideration.This can lead to serious problems and cause you to regret the decision to buy.

Before buying a house it is wise to do some research on the area it is located in.Do you know what the crime rate is for the area？How are the schools？What is the average age of your neighbors？Is there a “party house” next door？Does the quiet street turn into a busy shortcut during the rush hour？Is there a known drug house？These things should all be considered before a final decision is made.

Making several visits to the house at various times and on different days can help you know a lot about the area.Sit in front of the house with your windows rolled down and just listen to the activity，take a walk around the block and observe the sights，sounds，and smells.Be sure to go to judge how loud things can get on a weekend evening.

You will also need to find out if the neighborhood is improving or on the decline (下降)．Are stores and services closing or have new businesses been opening up？These are things that will affect the resale value of your house.Also check with local governments to discover if any developments are planned for the area.

The best advice is not to let your heart rule your head.Do your homework, and make sure your dream house is in your dream neighborhood.

A staycation is a vacation when you do not travel at all. Some people use a staycation to just stay at home, and others prefer to experience the attractions around them without traveling very far.

There are many choices for staycations. Any town or city has plenty of choices for things to do if you know where to look. If the weather is nice, you can visit the local gardens or forests for a hike. You can look online for several historic places and create your own history tours. Of course, you can also visit other attractions in the areas like museums, restaurants, bars, parks, beaches, and so on. Often, if you drive just a few hours, you can find a city that you can walk around and see. Then by driving home you can save the cost of a hotel and a plane ride.

Others take the term “staycation” word for word and do not leave their houses at all. Some choices for this can include taking time off to cook a great meal and enjoy it together or spending all day at a pool.

Just as a coin has two sides, staycation has its advantages as well as disadvantages.

Since you are not traveling or staying in a hotel, a staycation can be unbelievably costeffective（低成本的）. You don’t have to pay for a hotel, so that cost has been completely eliminated. You are also saving by not driving very far and by not taking an airplane anywhere. Travel costs have become really high, and the farther you go, the higher they are. By staying close to home, you cut that cost by quite a bit. You are also pushing money back into your local economy（经济）by spending your money at local businesses rather than in cities that are far away from home.  Finally, any stress that you feel with travel, whether that is from driving long distances or looking for an airport, will completely disappear.

1.For what purpose is the text written?

A．To introduce the general information of staycatons.

B．To compare staycatons with other vacations.

C．To persuade more people to have staycations.

D．To provide different ways of staycations.

2.What is one of the advantages of a staycation?

A．The economy in other cities is also improved.

B．People spend nothing when staying at home.

C．You can visit local attractions for free.

D．There is no stress from traveling.

3.What does the underlined word “eliminated” in Paragraph 5 probably means?

A．included                              B．removed

C．covered                              D．raised

4.What will probably be discussed in the following paragraph?

A．When to take a staycation.                B．What disadvantages a staycation has.

C．Why people prefer a staycation.            D．How to have a staycation safely.

We’re surrounded by chemistry in everyday life. Sometimes it is easy to see, like when your science teacher does a big experiment in class. At other times, it can be pretty hard to see everyday chemistry at work, but nearly everything you touch or use has some element of chemistry in it.

Something as simple as toothpaste contains at least three chemicals, if not more. It is the mixture of them and its chemical reaction that keeps your teeth clean. Other things you use every day are created by chemistry, such as hair products, shampoo and soap. Adding detergent (洗涤剂) to water involves chemistry. Without chemistry, we would never have known that we need soap to get the oil out of clothes or skin. Chemistry not only helps us make products for use, but it also helps us understand the world around us. Chemistry helps us understand what the ozone layer (臭氧层) is and how it protects us. Chemistry also gives us sunscreen to protect us from the sun. Thanks to chemistry, we know bleach (漂白剂) can’t be mixed with vinegar(醋), because it can produce poisonous gas.Without chemistry, we wouldn’t have fireworks displays on important days.

Chemistry plays a big role in food preparation. Cooking food causes it to go through a chemical change. That is why cooked food often tastes different from raw food. Baking is a great example of chemistry. Too much or too little of any ingredient（成分，尤指烹饪） makes a difference to the result of baking, for example, the dough (面团) won’t rise or the cake will be flat.

Chemistry isn’t something that just lives in a lab; it’s something that you meet hundreds of times every day. Knowing how chemistry works will give you a greater understanding of the science behind some of the simplest-looking things.

1.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 1?

A．Chemistry is easy to see around us.

B．Sometimes chemistry is hard to see around us.

C．How a science teacher does a big experiment.

D．Few things in everyday life contain chemistry.

2.The following actions are about chemistry EXCEPT _____.

A．cleaning teeth with toothpaste

B．washing hair with hair products

C．using soap to get the oil out of clothes

D．washing your face with water

3.The underlined word “poisonous” in Paragraph 3 means _____.

A．harmful           B．healthy           C．fresh             D．pleasant

4.Which one is TRUE according to Paragraph 4?

A．One can’t find chemistry when cooking food.

B．Chemistry plays an important part in food mak-ing.

C．That dough rises is nothing to do with chemistry.

D．A flat cake is the result of too many ingredients.

5.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A．Chemistry Around the House

B．Chemistry in Science

C．Chemistry for Dinner

D．Chemistry in everyday life
