21、To son, Cecil,

Just a quick note preface before I start in earnest. When I wrote this, you were 8, still a little boy. In 2002, I was called to active duty in the Marine Corps in the War on Terrorism. On the 11th of September 2001 when America was attacked, I knew that I would eventually have to go and I was filled with a deep sense of sadness. That night as you and Keiko were asleep, I looked at you little faces and couldn't help but fight the tears. I knew it would be hard for you because I had a similar experience.

When I was a little boy aged 6, my Dad, your Grandpa Cawley, was sent to Vietnam during the War there. I remember how much I missed him, too. But now unfortunately I have come to realize just how rough it must have been for Grandpa to be away from his children for a year. Thinking about this, I wanted to put my thoughts and feelings down for you and your sister. I am so sorry that I had to leave for such a long time. There is no place I would rather be than with you and Keiko. You two are the lights of my life. I have known no greater joy than in the few years since you two were born. I hope to have many more years with you. If this doesn't happen, then know that I love you more than words can express. If for some reason I don't make it home, I will need you to take care of your little sister and your Mum. You will be the Man of the Cawley family. Be good, my son, and God will watch over you as he has me. I will be waiting impatiently for the time when we can all be together again.

All my love

Dad

22、When you see your favorite food on a red plate, you probably feel hungry. But you feel hungrier when it’s on a white plate. Can you guess why this happens? According to recent research, colors have a great influence on our eating.

Firstly, colors can really affect (影响) our feelings about food. For example, when you add red dye to water, it tastes sweeter than normal water, as if you’ve added sugar. The red color makes you feel that the water is very nice to drink.

However, the food that you think is the most delicious will probably taste worse to you if you change its color to blue. This is because blue is not a very natural color for food.

Besides, colors can also affect how much we eat. In one experiment, people were asked to serve themselves some pasta (意大利面食) with white sauce. The people with red plates ate a small portion (一份). However, the people with white plate ate much more.

【1】Why do people feel hungrier when they see their favorite food on a white plate?

A．Because people like the color of white.

B．Because white is cleaner.

C．Because colors have a great influence on our eating.

D．Because they like the food on the plate.

23、阅读理解

  When you’re not at home, many worries may start to crowd your mind. Did I turn the coffee maker off? Did I lock the door? Are the kids doing their homework or watching television? With a smart home, you can quiet all of these worries.

A smart home is a home with a communication network. This network connects devices(装置), such as lights and TV sets, and allows them to be controlled from far away through electrical wiring, mobile phone communication or WiFi over the Internet.

More and more people may start to consider owning a smart home, because it makes life much more convenient. It can help keep your room at a certain temperature. It can record what happens inside the home and send the video to your phone. When you are on vacation abroad, you can use a smart home controller to switch on or off the electricity when necessary. Some smart homes can receive a visitor, allowing him to come in and offering him a drink. They can even feed the cat and water the plants.

Besides, smart homes are easy to fix. Most smart home technology and devices are wireless and can be set up with a minimum of tools, using only the guiding information. When a problem appears, you can deal with it yourself without paying a professional.

However, for home-users, the smart home technology is far from perfect. It can be rather expensive to own the technology and the devices. Also, because the smart home system(系统)allows its owner to get home information from anywhere, it leaves the home easy to be attacked by hackers(黑客), who may secretly use or change the information in the system.

Now, many scientists are excited at the future of smart home technology. Imagine being able to get fashion advice from your mirror, or receive food shopping suggestions from your refrigerator. While there are others who worry that those smart devices will make people lazier and lonelier. Whatever it is, one thing is for sure—smart home technology will change the way we live and work.

【1】According to the passage, nowadays a smart home can lock the door through .

A. electric lights   B. mirror technologies

C. mobile phones   D. shopping programs

【2】The third paragraph of the passage is mainly about .

A. the steps to use smart systems

B. the prices of smart programs

C. the advantages of a smart home

D. the tools for setting up smart devices

【3】Which of the following is TRUE about a smart home according to the passage?

A. Smart homes can’t help feed pets nowadays.

B. Smart homes cost a lot of money at present.

C. You can’t control your smart home in other countries.

D. It’s hard for hackers to get information from smart homes.

【4】 What’s the writer’s opinion according to the passage?

A. People will become less happy in the future.

B. People’s life style will be different in the future.

C. Mobile phones are the most important in smart homes.

D. Smart homes are much better than other smart systems.
