[1] It's Friday evening．My daughters sighed（叹息） when I gently took the iPads away from their laps．One by one， our screens we returned off．We lit the candles and sat down to have a big meal．
[2] We call it our "Technology Shabbat"（科技安息日） which lasts from sunset（日落）on Friday to sunset on Saturday．Now most friends know they will not be able to contact（联系） us by using computers or mobile phones for 24 hours．
[3] I first understood the importance of "Technology Shabbat" in 2008， when my father had got brain cancer．Some day he would have only one good hour， and the only thing I wanted to do was to be with him．When I looked ①______my father， I turned off my mobile phone．
[4] Soon after that，my husband and I decided to turn off all the electronic things for one full day every week．
[5] During our "Technology Shabbat"，times lows down．Our Saturday snow feel like mini﹣vacations．We drive cars or ride bikes．We work in the garden， play board games and cook meals with our kids．I feel like a better mother， wife and person．
[6] Keeping a balance（平衡） between the good and the ②______of technology is important for my family．The technology helps us share knowledge and funny ideas all over the world．But the technology also takes something away from us．When we ③_____up late at night linking（连接） from website to website or sending messages， we click（点击） again and again until we have been overloaded（超负荷的）．

In summer，it's common on the street to see many Chinese women holding parasols1 to protect themselves from the sun．But when Amy，an exchange student in Beijing from the US，first saw this，she found it strange，even impossible to understand．She wrote on her blog，"Unlike Chinese women，American women like to put on their tank tops and sunglassed during summer．If you walk around an American college campus2，you will probably see girls out on the grassy fields reading，but they really hope to get a head start on their summer tan3．"
This may be caused by the different standards of beauty between the US and China．Many Americans don't want white skin．They would rather be tanned．Amy also wrote，"Having darker skin is so popular that many women and men will pay for fake4 tans so that they can keep their sun﹣kissed appearance during the winter months，too．"
Why do they like tanned skin？Michelle Louis reported in her research，"The process of tanning can help make people's skin smooth and hide marks．"She further explained，"Tans make people's skin appear healthier and make them appear thinner than when they have pale skin．"
Perhaps there is no real ideal standard of beauty．In different cultures and at different times of history，the standards change．On Amy's blog，she also gave two examples．Some women carried parasols around trying to keep their white skin in the US 150 years ago．During the Tang Dynasty in China，heavy women were thought attractive．But now，Chinese women prefer to be slim．
In a word，different standards of beauty should be respected．People may grow up with only one idea of what beauty is，but it doesn't mean that it's necessarily the correct or the best idea．
New words：
1．parasol n．umbrella used to protect people from the sun 阳伞
2．campus n．grounds of a school，college or university 校园
3．tan n．the brown colour of sun﹣kissed skin 晒成的棕褐色
v．become brown by the sun晒成棕褐色，晒黑
4．fake adj．not real 假的
29．What did Michelle Louis report in her research？
A．Many Chinese prefer white skin to tanned skin．
B．Darker skin is popular among American women and men．
C．Tans make people's skin appear healthier and make them look thinner．
D．Some women would like to keep their skin white in the US 150 years ago．

A．People in the US like to have tanned skin only in hot summer．
B．American college girls read non the grass because they want to be tanned
C．Many Chinese women carry parasols to protect themselves from the sun
D．Amy thought trying to keep white skin with parasols seemed strange at first
31．The writer really wants to tell us ．
A．we should respect different standards of beauty
B．the standards of beauty change at different times
C．different countries have different standards of beauty
D．it's commen for people to have only one idea of beauty．
"Mom!I found one!I found a rock!"
I heard those words again and again last summer as I sat by the window，which faces a park in the small town where I live.
The Kindness Rocks Project，which was started a few years ago by a mom in Massachusetts，has spread around the world.Kids，families，and people of all ages are taking part in painting rocks，hiding rocks，and finding painted rocks all over the place.Some post photos of the rocks on social media （传媒），and others simply move the rocks for someone else to find.Some take the rocks home and then replace them with new ones that they created and hid.
Nine﹣year﹣old twins Harry and Hannah DeVrieze have painted hundreds of rocks with their parents.Most evenings，the family and their small dog walk around with a wagon （运货车） full of rocks that they hide as they walk.
"It's a fun family activity，" Hannah says.
"We will do it in the winter too，" Hannah says.
Ben Burinsky，age nine，and his brother，Luke，age seven，were visiting relatives （亲戚） when they found their first painted rock in a park.They were so excited that they went home and painted their own rocks，then hid them for others to find.
"My boys loved finding the rock in the park，especially since it was a superhero，" their mother，Judy Burinsky，says. "I love how something so small can bring a smile to my children's faces.In return，they learn the value of giving back to others."
Kadyn Kinney，age nine，and his seven﹣year﹣old brother，Jayce，have also painted many rocks.They love to hide rocks and look for rocks with their mom and dad.When their grandmother visited，they gave her painted rocks to take home and hide in the Florida town where she lives.When asked how many rocks he has painted so far，Jayce says， "Trust me!I've painted more than 30."

In 1986，the Honda automotive company wanted to see if it could make a human﹣like robot，to help in home，play football，balance on one foot，and even dance．Over the years there were some problems but soon the researchers managed to get a robot named ASIMO．It could walk on uneven（不平坦的） surfaces，and move its center of gravity like we do to climb stairs．
More recently，ASIMO was improved so it could turn round and run at six kilometers per hour，using its upper body to control movement．
ASIMO is designed to be friendly．It is hoped that robots like this could be used to help elderly people in their home．Honda are also using this technology to help people with disabilities．It can also push a cart（手推车） and open and close doors．ASIMO can even shake hands．It stands 120centimeters tall，so that it can look into adult faces when they are sitting down．It can hold two kilos in its hands．It can even carry a tray without dropping the contents．
So，where next for this kind of robot？Well，while ASIMO is attractive，it is still controlled by a human．Researchers in the USA are working on the robots that can learn about the world around them，and give a reply to human touch and voice．The robots are even learning to recognize（辨认） objects，people and vocabulary．Soon the descendants（后代） of these robots may be serving you drinks or helping with jobs at home and at work．
69．At what speed could ASIMO run after it was improved？
70．Can ASIMO make tea or push a cart？
71．Why is ASIMO designed to be 120centimeters tall？
72．How many kilos can ASIMO hold in its hands？
73．Put the main ideas （A﹣D） in the order that the passage is arranged．
A．Users for ASIMO
B．What similar robots will be able to do in the future

If you walk along the River Thames， there are lots of interesting buildings to see．Running through the heart of London，there are also many galleries， markets， shops and keep you busy along its banks． You will also see a strange round building．It looks very old and very different from all the others．This is Shakespeare's Globe Theatre（莎士比亚环球剧场）．

The first time I ever really noticed a disabled person，I was studying in the third grade．I saw some disabled people before，but I never really knew or cared about what those persons go through（经历）．
When a new student arrived in my third grade class，I thought it would just be a common student，but this student was different．His name was Derek and he had autism（孤独症）．He sometimes had random outbursts （随意的发作）during class and we would stand there，doing nothing because we didn't know why he was doing that．When he sat down at desk，we would try to get away from him．After class，we would play jokes on each other，imitating（模仿）Derek，and laughing about it．
Then one day，Derek's mom came to our class and talked with us．She told us that Derek wasn't just having random outbursts﹣he was trying to communicate．Then she chose a volunteer and filled that person's mouth with soft sweets．When we found the volunteer had great trouble in trying to speak，the mother explained that was what Derek was going through every day．We all understood her meaning．
After this talk，no one tried to make fun of Derek or run away from him．We accepted his outbursts in class and he became one of our friends．Having a class with Derek has taught me to have an open mind to those who are different from us．My experience in having an autistic classmate has provided me with a good lesson．
Now whenever I meet a family with a child who's behaving differently．I always remember what I have learned in my third grade class and go up to him or her．

In the eyes of many foreigners，Chinese are the best hosts and the worst guests in the world．They're not really bad guests，but because the guest﹣host relationship（关系） in China is much different than in some western countries．It seems that they are not nice guests．And western guests sometimes look rude in the eyes of Chinese guests．
In China，guests are almost like gods（上帝）．Whenever I enter a Chinese person's home，there is always fruit on the table for me，and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water．In the west，generally the guest is not a god．Acting according to（根据） the host's way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest．
My wife's mother，a very kind elderly Chinese lady，doesn't smoke．When I see some of her guests smoking in her house，as a non﹣smoker，I feel unhappy．Usually I want to stop them directly（直接地），but I must realize that in China，to be a good host，she must not do that．In most North America homes，if you are a guest，and the hosts are not smokers，you should not smoke in their house．At the very least，you could ask，"Is it OK if I smoke？"But don't besurprised if the hosts say，"No，you can't smoke．"In our culture，if you smoke in their home，you are a bad guest，but if they don't allow you to smoke in their house，they are not a rude host．
Guests in China also have special habits．Some western people may not adapt tothese habits very soon．Thankfully my wife is Chinese，so whenever we visit a Chinese family she tells me to buy them a gift．However，giving a gift to a host is not always necessary in my country．So，if you invite international guests to your home，don't be too surprised if they don't bring you a gift．
In China，you probably won't need to change the guest﹣host relationship very much because you will probably only be the host，and Chinese are naturally very good hosts．If western hosts invite you to their house，try not to be too surprised if their style of treating you is not what you have expected．

Historically，most cars have run on gasoline（汽油），but that may change in the future：cars can also run on other liquid fuels（液体燃料）and electricity.
Gasoline is from oil.The energy in gasoline comes from hydrocarbons（碳氢化合物）.Gasoline provides great power for cars.However，it causes environmental problems，like air pollution and temperature rise.So gasoline can't be the best fuel.
Another choice is electricity.Electricity cars can be as efficient（效能好的）as cars using gasoline，And they produce less pollution.But electric cars themselves are more expensive.Good news is that the cost has been lower and there are more and more places for the cars to get electricity ever since 2010.
The other choices are other liquid fuels.Many of these can be stored in the same places as gasoline，and used in the same cars.They can also be friendly to the environment.
One way to make such fuels is to get CO 2from the air and put it in water.Through chemical reaction，hydrocarbons can be created.However，these fuels take up more space.
Another way is to make such fuels from plants which take in carbon from the air.These fuels are greener in use.But not all of them can be as efficient as gasoline.
For a fuel to be the best，people have to be able to afford it.Unluckily，almost every green technology is more expensive than that of using gasoline.Governments and car producers are doing everything they car to cut down the costs.In the end，the best fuel will be both affordable for car users and green for our planet.

The first emperor of China，Qin Shihuang，completed a huge number of projects during his rule.Between 221 and 210 B.C.，he started the building of the Great Wall.The emperor also ordered the building of a huge army of life﹣sized terracotta soldiers（士兵）.These，he hoped，would protect his tomb after his death.
Lost in Time
The soldiers in Xi'an's terracotta museum are today light brown，but they weren't always.They began as an army of red，blue，yellow，green，white，and purple.Sadly，most of the colors did not last to the present day.After being exposed（暴露）to air during digging，the coating under the paint began to fall off.The paint disappeared in less time than it takes to boil an egg，taking away with it important pieces of history.
New Technology
Now new technology is starting to show the army's true colors.Archeologists（考古学家）have recently discovered an area with more than a hundred soldiers.Many of these still have their painted features，including black hair，pink faces，and black or brown eyes.Chinese and German researchers have developed a chemical liquid（液体）to help save the soldiers' colors.After finding a soldier or another art piece，archeologists put the liquid on it. They then cover it in plastic.
Back to Life
Archeologists are also finding colors in the dirt around the soldiers.It's important not to do anything with the dirt，so the colors won't be lost. "We are treating the dirt as an art piece， "says Rong Bo，the museum's leading archeologist.The next challenge，says Rong Bo，is to find a way to use the colors onto the army﹣again.Once that happens，artists can bring Emperor Qin's army back to its full，bright colors.

Zhu Keming never thought he would be a hero one day，but he was just that on Saturday when he saved the lives of six runners during the mountain marathon （马拉松）in Baiyin，Gansu Province，in which 21 people lost their lives.
It started off as a normal day for the 49﹣year﹣old shepherd ，who was taking care of his more than 30 sheep on the mountainside.But soon the weather was terrible，with rainfall and hail.The rain got so heavy that he couldn't see clearly and had to run into a cave where he normally went to have a rest.Soon he fell asleep in the cave after covering himself with some quilts he had stored there.
But he was awakened at 2 pm by an unusual sound that was not coming from his sheep.The sound that woke Zhu was the cry of a runner in the marathon.He was wet from head to toe and trembling because of cold.Zhu took him into the cave，lit a fire and covered the stricken （受伤的）runner with his quilts.
Zhu said that there were soon five runners huddling （挤作一团）in the cave，and he then decided to go outside to try to attract the attention of rescuers （救援者）.When he risked coming out of the cave，he found another stricken runner lying on the ground in bad condition.Then the other runners came out of the cave to give a hand.Zhu and the six runners remained huddled around the fire in his cave until 7 pm，when the rescue team arrived.
" I just did what I had to when I saw that these people were in danger.I think everyone would do the same thing in such a situation， "Zhu said to Beijing News.

One picture was of a calm（平静的） lake． The lake was a perfect mirror for peaceful mountains all around it． Overhead was a blue sky with white soft clouds． Everyone thought that it was a perfect picture of peace．
The other picture had mountains too． But these were rugged（崎岖的） and bare（无遮蔽的）． Above was an angry sky． And it was raining and lightening． Down the side of the mountain， a waterfall fell quickly． This did not look peaceful at all．
But when the King looked carefully， he saw behind the waterfall a bush（矮树丛） growing in a crack（裂缝） in the rock． In the bush a mother bird had built her nest（巢，窝）． There， she sat on her nest…in perfect peace．
Which picture do you think won the prize？
The King chose the second picture． "Because，" said the King， "peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise， trouble， or hard work． Peace means to be in the middle of all those things and still be calm in your heart． That is the real meaning of peace．"
