25、Some days, don’t you think, “Wouldn’t it be nice if the laundry would just do itself?” Self-cleaning clothes may sound crazy. But Australian researchers have found a way to make something like this possible!

A team at RMIT University, found a way to put special nanostructures(纳米结构) into clothing, which can then clean the clothes. When sunlight hits the nanostructures, they break down the dirt and stains(污渍). The nanostructures don’t break down the actual clothing because cotton and the other clothing materials are too strong to be broken down. According to the report, the researchers covered the clothing in a solution made of silver and copper(铜) nanostructures. All it takes is 40 minutes of sunlight and your clothes will look as well as new. So if you spill on yourself during lunch, you can step outside for a walk, and it will be clean by the time you go inside.

It not only makes your life easier, but can also be good for the environment. According to the US Department of Energy, the average load of laundry uses about 25 gallons(about 94 liters) of water. Water is a very important resource, so using less of it to wash clothes is better for the environment.

So one of the scientists at RMIT University knows more needs to be done. “There’s more work to do before we can start throwing away our washing machines,” said the professor. “But this is a strong foundation(基础).” So what’s the next step? Professors want to either start selling the solution by itself or convincing clothing makers to treat their clothing with the solution.

【1】Why does self-cleaning clothes sound crazy?

A．Because it’s impossible to achieve it.

B．Because a special machine is created.

C．Because the clothes don’t need washing.

D．Because the clothes can be washed by themselves.

【2】What will NOT help self-cleaning clothes come true?

A．A walk.

B．Solution.

D．Nanostructures.

【3】We can infer the underlined word “solution” probably means ________ here.

A．谜底

B．溶解过程

C．溶液

D．解决方案

【4】Which one is probably NOT true according to the passage?

A．Self-cleaning clothes needs a kind of solution.

B．Self-cleaning clothes can make your life easier.

C．Self-cleaning clothes can wash clothes without water.

26、   A young man traveled by train. As it was running across a desert, passengers looked out of window.

When the train went near a turning, it slowed down and then a house came to their eyes. It was so lonely that everybody on the train turned to “admire” it with eyes wide open. Some passengers even began a discussion about it.

The young man was also impressed (给于某人深刻印象) by the scene. On his return he got off the train at the nearest station and found his way to the house. Its owner told him that troubled by the noise of the train he wanted to sell the house but nobody would buy it.

Soon after the young man spent 30,000 dollars for the house, regarding it as favorite place for advertisement. It was facing the railway on the turning where the train had to slow down and passengers would have a look at the house.

He managed to connect with big companies and tried his best to be sure of the advantage of the place for advertisement. Finally, the Coca Cola Company took a lease (租赁) on it to put up signs. The young man was paid 180,000 dollars for three years.

The story is completely true. It proves that discovery may lead to success.

【1】There was a lonely house on a desert near a turning when the train passed.

【2】The owner of the house wanted to sell it because of the noise of the train.

【3】The house cost the young man thirty thousand pounds.

【4】Actually, Coca Cola company took a lease for $ 60 thousand for a year.

【5】From the passage, we know that we should develop the ability of finding.

27、

If you ever go to the US and eat at a restaurant, there’s a very important difference you should know about. US people have a custom to give money to waiters and waitresses as a tip for their work.

But why is this? Shouldn’t waiters get paid enough by their bosses? Well, many waiters and waitresses get paid below the US minimum wage (最低工资) and work for tips to make up for that. According to the American travel website TripAdvisor, some states pay their servers (服务员) only $2.13 (about 14 yuan) per hour.

While no one makes you tip, if you are at a sit-down restaurant, it is usually expected that you tip your waiter 15 to 20 percent of what your bill is.

It’s not just for waiters either. Hotel maids, hairdressers and taxi drivers also usually work for tips. But it is much more expected to tip waiters.

The US hasn’t always had this tipping culture. In fact, people were mostly against it until the Prohibition Era (禁酒令时代) in the 1920s. The government said no one could sell alcohol (酒). Then, restaurants had trouble making enough money. So they started to ask people to tip their waiters.

This tipping culture has lasted through the years, but most people don’t like it. Some think restaurant bosses use it as an excuse to not pay their workers well. There isn’t much action being taken to make a change yet. So for now, be sure to tip your waiter when in the US.

【1】If a server works eight hours a day, he can get   from his boss.

A. $2.13   B. $17.04   C. ￥14

【2】Besides waiters and waitresses,   also works for tips in the US.

A. customers B. taxi drivers C. restaurant bosses

【3】When the restaurants couldn’t sell alcohol,   .

A. they were bankrupt (破产的) and closed down

B. the bosses still made much money

C. they started to ask people to tip

【4】We can learn from the passage that   .

A. the waiters and waitresses aren’t well paid in the US

B. the custom of giving tips only appears in the US

C. all Americans are glad to tip their waiters

【5】About American’s tipping culture, foreign visitors think   .

A. they need to fight for their own rights

B. they should “do as the Romans do”

C. they can leave it alone

28、Liyuan Library

Liyuan Library (篱苑书屋), known as one of China's most beautiful bookstores, is located in a small hillside village near Beijing.

The project, designed by architect Li Xiaodong, was built with 40,000 wooden sticks. In the village, Li found large amounts of wooden sticks piled around each house. The villagers gather these sticks all year round to fuel their cooking stoves (炉子). Thus they decided to use this o【1】 material in a special way.

“This project is about the relationship of a building to the surroundings and i【2】 role (角色) in serving the community (社区), rather than a building as an individual object,” Li told the visitors.

In the two-and-a –half years of the operation, Liyuan Library has experienced unexpected levels of use and appreciation. A new bus s【3】 has opened close by for the frequent visits by thousands of people, including local villagers, tourists from the Beijing urban area, and many international visitors as well.

“Everybody is f【4】 to visit,” explained Li. “However, visitors are encouraged to bring two books to the library, and take one back home from the collection in order to keep the place a center of k【5】 exchange.”

Instead of adding a new building in the village, they chose this site in the nearby mountains, a pleasant five-minute walk from the village center. In doing so, they could p【6】 a place for clear thoughts when one takes the effort to head for the reading room.

Li described his practice in the following way: “We try to m【7】 technology, community, local materials, modern thinking and a traditional sense of identity together.”
