24、 You may have wondered why there are fish tanks (at many doctor's and dentist's offices.Actually these medical professionals are trying to keep their working areas less stressful with the help of fish tanks.Because of the soft bubbling (冒泡声) from the fish tanks,their patients are expected to feel less nervous or worried when staying there.
The sound of running water can make people feel relaxed.For this reason,places where water keeps running are often considered good choices for people to have deep thoughts and stay relaxed in mind.Even a small tabletop fountain (喷泉) can make a workspace more relaxing.Unlike loud noises,repeated natural sounds remind us that everything is OK." These slow but soft sounds are just the ones that bring us no harm,"said Orfeu Buxton,a professor at Pennsylvania State University." It seems like they are saying,' Don't worry ;don't worry ;don't worry."
Besides bringing a sense of peace to your indoor space,a fountain can also prevent noises from coming inside.I recently had a small indoor fountain for my workspace.I enjoy the fountain even when I'm not working at home.
If you want to have an indoor fountain too,there are plenty of wonderful ones on sale,which may cost you a lot.You can try making one yourself,using some inexpensive materials,like I did.And you will always keep it around ---- 1,000 doctor's offices can't be wrong about the relaxing effects of running water.

25、
I have a problem. Her name is Luca. We do not see eye to eye.
Like yesterday, we saw the number 9, 999. She said, “All lose nines. They feel so... so purple!”
Purple? I saw it as logical and orderly. Not as colours. I think Luca and I live in different universes.
But we have to do a report on the Statue of liberty. I really doubt if I can work with her.
At our first meeting on Friday, we come up with a plan. She will make a Statue of Liberty, and I’ll write the report. But on Monday, with only one week until our report is due, she tells me she’s leaving to visit her great-grandfather for six days, because he’s ill. It means that I, the one who can’t even draw a stick figure, will have to make the statue. And she the one who doesn’t like to think logically, will have to write the report.
“Please be at my house at 2:00 on Sunday,” I say I cross my fingers.
While she’s gone, I spend lots of hours making the sculpture according to some directions I find online.
Sunday at 2:00 arrives, and Luca is late. Finally, I see her skipping down the sideway, carrying only a small piece of equipment
“What’s that?” I ask. “Where’s the report?”
“It’s a digital recorder,” she says. “A report didn’t feel right, so I did something else.”
I try to keep my voice calm as I say, “But this is not about feelings. It’s about the Statue of Liberty. Statues don’t have feelings.” Our project is due tomorrow. We’re doomed.
“Statues don’t have feelings, but my great-grandfather does.” Luca says.
Now I am quite sure that we’re from two different universes because I have no idea about what she’s talking about.
“I interviewed him about when he came to America and saw the Statue of Liberty,” she continues. “Listen.” She turns on the recording.
A scratchy voice comes on. “In Hungary, I had no food and hoped to go to America, where I could eat, have a better life. Finally I got on the ship. Then the sunshine started. Oh! There she was. Lady Liberty Like hope itself. All of us cried. All my life, I remember that feeling of seeing the lady.”
Looking at Luca. I think a while. “You are right That’s what the Statue of liberty is all about. Who says a report has to be on paper? I say quietly. And a smile spreads over her face.
Can you imagine what happens while we are making the presentation the next day? When Luca’s great-grandfather says “All my life. I remember that feeling, of seeing the Lady.” everyone is staring at our statue, quiet.
【1】The idiom “see eye to eye” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”.
A.like each other B.have good eyesight
C.want to see each other D.share the same viewpoint
【2】What can we know about Luca from the passages?

【3】What does everyone think of their presentation?

26、 Once upon a time, there was a family with 18 children living in a village. Two of the children, both boys, loved painting very much, but the family was so poor that it was impossible to send both of them to study at art school at the same time.
After many discussions, the two boys finally worked out a plan. They would toss(抛) a coin. The loser would go down into the mines(煤矿)and,with his money, pay for his brother's college tuition(学费).Then, when the brother who won the toss finished his studies, he would pay Tor the other brother to study at the college.
One of the brothers, Albrecht Durer, won the toss and his brother Jack went down into the mines. Durer worked with all his heart and his paintings were much better than those of most of his teachers. He was beginning to make a lot of money for his paintings.
Durer returned. When he told Jack he could go to art college, Jack said softly: "The fouryears in the mines have done too much to my hands. It is too late. Now I can’t even hold a glass."
To show his great love and respect for his brother, Durer drew his brother's hands with palms(手掌)together and thin fingers towards the sky. He called his drawing The Praying Hands, which became very famous years later.
The next time you see a copy of that touching work, take a second look. Let it be your reminder: No one can ever succeed alone!

27、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.
C.Sunlight.
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.
D.There is more work to do before self-cleaning clothes is achieved.
【5】The writer thinks self-cleaning clothes is meaningful to the environment because ________.
A.it can save water
B.it can reduce pollution
C.washing machines can be thrown
D.clothing materials can’t be broken down
28、 Rebecca is a wildlife camera-woman from the UK. She felt a 【1】 (深深的) sadness when she was filming a documentary for the BBC in the Pacific Ocean. The 【2】 (沙滩) should have been lively. But she sadly found that they were covered with plastic bags, toys, and 【3】 (瓶子) and dead animals.
Plastic bags have many advantages, so they are 【4】 (广泛地) used in people’s daily life. Britain uses nearly 17 billion plastic bags each year. The numbers are amazing.
Rebecca 【5】 (决定) she had to do something. In her own 【6】 (家乡), Modbury, she made a suggestion that local shopkeepers should 【7】 (避免) using plastic bags. To her surprise, they 【8】 (接受) her suggestion and Modbury became the first plastic bag-free place in Britain.
Now the “bag for life” is part of the national 【9】 (文化), and the task of cutting down the use of plastic bags has become the 【10】 (法律): Since October 2015, all shops in the UK must pay five pence for each plastic bag. It’s not enough, but it’s a start.
29、 When was the last time you wrote a letter? If the answer is "not recently", don't worry. You are not _______. A survey of 1,000 _______ around the world done by the French stationery(文具) company BIC found that a third of today's teenagers had never written a letter, half had not written a thank-you letter, and a quarter had not even written a birthday or Christmas card. In fact, 58 percent of teenagers _______that handwriting was "too slow" and 17 percent believed it was "outdated".
These results have caused worries that the art of handwriting may one day _______. "_______ is one of the most creative art forms we have and should be given the same _______ as other art forms such as painting, or photography," Jonathan Skyrme, general manager at BIC UK & Ireland, told the Daily Mail. The New York Times explained that a handwritten letter _______ a message in a way that online messages can never do. "When you get an email, you can never be sure that you are the only person to have _______ it—or even that it was written by the person who sent it," said the newspaper. _______ US author Simon Garfield once wrote, "Emails are apoke (蜻蜓点水), but letters are a loving touch. "
