26、   The Renaissance marks a period of human awakening. In this article we are going to explore the inventions during this period which have helped change the life and progress of mankind.

Clock

The first mechanical clock was invented in the early 1300’s. Galileo, an Italian scientist, discovered the pendulum (钟摆) around 1602. The pendulum greatly improved the movement of the hands of a clock. The average error with the pendulum varied only by seconds each day. Before this the error was from 10 to 15 minutes a day.

Eyeglasses

In the late thirteenth century, paintings first appeared with people wearing or holding eyeglasses. From these paintings, we know that eyeglasses were invented in Italy. Around 1300 the Venetian Glassmaker’s Guild made it illegal for cheap glasses to be made. By 1352, eyeglasses were only worn by well-educated rich men. In 1456, the invention of the printing press allowed books to become widespread. Once people owned books, reading glasses began to be seen in the hands of common people. In 1623, the Spanish invented the first graded eyeglasses.

Flush toilet (抽水马桶)

Sir John Harrington, godson to Queen Elizabeth, made the first flush toilet for himself and his godmother in 1596. He was teased by his friends and never made another one.

In 1775, Alexander Cummings reinvented the flush toilet more commonly called the water closet. Two years later in 1777, Samuel Prosser applied for and received a patent for it.

Wallpaper

In 1496, the first paper factory came into operation in England. English artists soon make wallpaper for decoration. For the next 200 years England was a large producer of wallpaper for Europe. Before wallpaper was invented, only wealthy people could afford to decorate the walls of their houses.

27、   Many of us know about Russia's Lake Baikal from our textbooks,or by listening to Chinese singer Li Jian's hit song,Lake Baikal.But over the past decade,the world's deepest freshwater lake has been in the spotlight for an extreme sport.

Each March since 2005,about 150 people from around the world sign up for the Baikal Ice Marathon.They come to explore the lake's breathtaking beauty and challenge themselves in unpredictable conditions.The 26-mile journey starts on the lake's eastern shore.In March,the ice is a meter thick and iron-hard.Runners cross this frozen surface,finishing on the western side of the lake.

Known as the"blue eye of Siberia",Lake Baikal has exceptionally clear waters.This means its ice is almost perfectly transparent（透明的）."Seen from above,a runner on the ice looks as if he or she is jogging through space,"The New York Times noted.

The landscape might be beautiful,but the weather is harsh.Strong winds blow across the lake and frostbite（冻伤）can occur within half an hour.Runners say the cold climate is what draws them.They want to test their limits."When you are in such an environment,you don't have cars around you,you don't have the noise around.I think these extreme races allow you to be alone with nature,"Alicja Barahona,a 64-year-old runner from the US,told ABC News.

The location offers some strange and unique characteristics for this marathon.The finish line is visible from the start,but the endless white offers no progress markers.The race also ends with little fanfare（喧闹）.Tourists crowding the ice are mostly addicted to taking photos and just ignore the runners.

For some runners,the absence of audience makes the race more challenging,because it's lonely.They must fight with themselves."You are alone on Baikal.It is your race.You are alone with yourself All you need to do is to defeat yourself,"Veronique Messina,a French runner,told the Telegraph.

28、   One of the most important things that has happened to me occurred long before I was aware of it. As the story goes, I was three days old and Mom was singing “The Name Game” song to me: “Christine Bo-Bean-Banana-Fanna-Fo-Feen.” By day four, I was given a new name ---- Christine-Bo-Bean, or just Bo-Bee to my mother. Now, I am Bo to her and close friends.

Why is this nickname（昵称）so important to me? I once read a book with a passage about True Names which explains that when a person’s true name is spoken, she has a distinct aura（光环）around her. Although I have been Bo to my mother all my life, I recently discovered that my true name is not on my birth certificate; it’s the name that is as unique and memorable as I am.

People usually know me as Christine. They still see me as a quiet, bookish child. They don’t know who I am now. My most recent hopes, fears, goals, dreams and opinions escape their notice; it is easier to think of me as I was. In their minds, they have a box labeled “Christine” in which I fit neatly, and as Christine, I was content with the perfect packaging.

Those who call me Bo or Bo-Bee really know me. They remember who I was and realize I have changed. Bo is a tight squeeze in the old “Christine” boxes. The Bo I am is ever-changing, ever-growing and ever-learning.

When I was Christine, I was quiet, and easily scared. I feared groups, meeting new people and sharing my opinions. I was more comfortable with a book than my best friend. As Christine, I thought everyone was better than I was.

As Bo, I still love my books, but I want to discuss them. As Bo, my dream is to live where I can experience new things and meet new people. I dream about being alone on a stage lit by a single spotlight; I have that confidence now. I am equal to those I once saw as better than me.

A name shouldn’t make such a difference, but sometimes, when a person finds his or her True Name, they develop a new shine visible to friends, family and especially themselves.

I can’t always be Bo. Sometimes exposing myself is still scary and I feel too nervous; I want to hide in those old boxes. Mostly, however, I am ready for the world. So, just call me Bo.

【1】When was the author given a nickname?

A.When her Mom sang the song. B.On the fourth day after she was born.

C.Seven days after she was born. D.When she received the old “Christine” box.

【2】What does the underlined sentence imply do the people know about the author as Christine?

A.The author has to live in the old boxes.

B.The old boxes are not fit for the author any longer.

C.They don’t know the author has changed her name.

D.People usually know the author as Christine but she has changed.

【3】What kind of person was the author in the past?

A.She lacked confidence and preferred to be alone.

B.She took pleasure in finding new things.

C.She loved reading and sharing books with friends.

D.She showed no interest in reading.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.A Unique Name B.My True Name

C.Learning from Names D.Meaning of Nicknames

29、   Although Paris is often considered the city of romance, close to a million adults who call it home are single. Many single people say that France’s capital is one of the most difficult places to meet people. The complaints of this lonely group have inspired a new phenomenon known as “supermarket dating”. At Galerie Lafayette Gourmet, singles can shop for more than just the items on their grocery list. They can look for someone who has blue eyes, brown hair, and is 1.8 meters tall, or whatever may be on their romantic shopping list.

At this Paris location, single people of all ages can schedule their shopping for Thursday nights between 6:30 and 9:00 p.m. When they walk through the door, they pick up a purple basket to advise that they are looking for love. They try to arrive early because the baskets disappear quickly, and then they have to wait in line for their turn to wander the store aisles. With purple baskets in hand, shoppers can consider their romantic options while they pick out their groceries. When they are ready to pay, they can go to the checkout line for singles who want to chat.

Most of the people who look for love in the supermarket are skeptical of Internet dating. They know that it is easy to embellish (美化) one’s appearance or to lie about one’s age over the Internet. The supermarket, on the other hand, is considered a safe and casual environment in which to meet a potential match. In addition, what one finds in another’s grocery basket can say a thing or two about that person’s character or intentions. Buying pet food can be a man’s way of showing a potential match that he has a sensitive side. Women who fill their baskets with low-fat food show their healthy style of living. These days it’s possible to find much more than food at a grocery store.

【1】What do many single people in Pairs complain about?

A.The difficulty in finding a match.

B.The idea of supermarket dating.

C.The items on their grocery list.

D.The inconvenience in shopping.

【2】Which of the following can be inferred but is not clearly stated in the second paragraph?

A.The dating supermarket is located in Paris.

B.The dating supermarket is open only on Thursday evenings.

C.Only single people can shop in the supermarket.

D.The dating supermarket has very good business.

【3】How do love shoppers meet one another?

A.They schedule their meeting in advance.

B.They go through a special checkout.

C.They pick out their groceries with great care.

D.They dial the phone numbers on their shopping items.

【4】Why do the people prefer the supermarket dating to Internet dating?

A.The supermarket dating is more convenient.

B.The supermarket dating is more fun.

C.The supermarket dating is more trustworthy.

D.The supermarket dating is more economical.

I see her as my best friend. I think she’d always come to me first if she had a problem. We have the same sense of humor, and share interests. 【1】 I don’t mind animals, she’s completely fascinated with them, and she has always had dogs, cats, horses, and goldfish in her life.

We were 【2】 (close) when she was about four, which I think is a lovely age for a child. They know the parents best, and don’t have outside contacts. She must have grown up suddenly when she went to school, because I remember her growing away from her family slightly. Any father who has a teenager daughter comes across an extraordinary collection of people, and there seemed to be an endless stream of strange young men 【3】 (come) through our house. By the time I learned their names they 【4】 (go) away and I had to start learning a new lot.

I wanted more than anything else for her to be happy in 【5】 she was doing, and I was prepared to pull strings to help her on her way. When she left a good school she decided she wanted to become an actress so I got her into drama school. It wasn’t to her liking so she joined a theatre group and began doing bits and pieces in films. She was doing well, but then gave it up. She probably found it boring. Then she took up social work, and finally went to work 【6】a designer and he became her husband. And that’s really the story of her life. She must be happy with him—they’re always together.

We have such similar tastes in books and music 【7】 I used to take her to see an opera, which is my big passion. However, I don’t think she likes it very much. She doesn’t come with me anymore.

I don’t think she’s a big television watcher. She knows when I’m on the television, and she 【8】 watch, but I don’t know. It’s not the kind of thing she tells me.

We’re very grateful for Amy. She’s a good daughter as daughters go. We’re looking forward to being grandparents.

37、课文填空

The Sundance Film Festival 【1】 boycotts all Hollywood films, and we don’t foresee ever including them. The initial idea for our festival was 【2】 back in l978. when it was known as the Utah/US Film Festival. However, it was not well known until 1981. It was then that Robert Redford became its 【3】 and changed the focus to independent films, often made on very modest 【4】 It was given its new name-the Sundance Film Festival-in 1991. Redford has acted in and directed many big Hollywood films, but wanted to 【5】 the public to films made outside of the Hollywood system
