 (AD 78-139)  | It was invented. Zhang Heng was born in Nanyang in the eastern Han Dynasty. At that time, there were many earthquakes every year. People thought they were from ghosts. Zhang Heng, however, didn’t believe it. He tried to find ways to study earthquakes for many years and in 132 he invented the first seismometer in the world. |
| It was used. But at first, people didn’t believe it and all laughed at him. In February, 138, Zhang heng’s seismometer told there was an earthquake in the west of Luoyang. After four days, three earthquakes really happened in Luoyang area. It was believed to be useful from then on. However, it was lost 1700 years ago. | |
| It was reproduced. Scientists have been trying to reproduce one like that. In 2012, the latest reproduced seismometer was successfully listed in Shanghai museum. It was reported to have been a little helpful during the earthquakes in Tangshan, Yunnan and Sichuan. It is hoped to be improved better soon and be able to predict coming earthquakes one day. |

Have you heard of Chen Binqiang in Zhejiang Province? Over the past six years, he has taken care of his mother who got Alzheimer’s disease.
Chen’s mother, 64-year-old Chen Yueguang, has been ill since 2007. The illness became very serious quickly and she has lost the ability to speak and can not look after herself. None of Chen’s other family members, however, could take care of their sick mother. Chen’s father died in a traffic accident when he was eight, his two sisters married far away and his wife has a 92-year-old grandmother to look after.
Chen taught Chinese in Central School of Lengshui town, which is about 30 kilometers away from his home in Pan’an. So he spent five days at school and only went home on weekends. When he said he would take his mother to work, even his wife was doubtful and worried. She really doesn’t think it is a good idea for him to take care of his mother in school. She worries what if he lost his job because of this.
But Chen has made the decision. Soon he was putting a safety hat onto his mother’s head and helping her sit on his electric bike’s back seat. He thinks that his mother used to take him around and now he should take her.
These days, things got a little easier for him. With the help of Pan’an government, Chen got a new job in Pan’an Middle School in October 2012. The new school is only five minutes’ ride from his home, which means he can take care of his mother more conveniently.
Chen feels happiest when his mother is looking at him. She must have forgotten who he is, and she even can’t call his name. But she surely knows that Chen is kind to her. He feels that is enough.
On February 19th, 2013, Chen got the prize for Touching China, held by China Central Television to honor those whose performances have moved the people.
小题1: What does Chen Binqiang do? He is ___________,
| A．a farmer | B．a driver | C．a postman | D．a teacher |
| A．疑惑 | B．明白 | C．预料 | D．支持 |
| A．In his car. | B．In a taxi. |
| C．By electric bike. | D．On foot. |
| A．people will live a very hard life if our parents become seriously ill |
| B．it should be allowed to take care of our mothers at work places |
| C．a man who shows loving care for his mother and his great spirit |
| D．Touching China honors people whose performances move us |
People have used pigeons to carry messages to one another for hundreds of years. In the 12th century, the royal palaces of Iraq and Syria included pigeon houses so the kings could be kept informed of their generals’ victories and defeats on the battlefield. In fact, pigeons were a common way to send messages right up through World War II.
Many countries, such as the United States, England, France, Germany, and Italy, in both World War I and World War II, used carrier pigeons. Not only were the birds often the fastest, most reliable way to send messages, they could also be used to reach soldiers far behind enemy lines, where radios and field telephone lines were useless. Since they could easily be released (释放) from airplanes or ships, every branch of the armed services used the birds. In World War II, more than 3,000 soldiers and 150 officers were needed to care for and train the tens of thousands of birds in the U.S. Pigeon Service.
Carrying messages could be a dangerous job. Some pigeons performed with such bravery that they became famous and were even awarded medals, such as England’s Dicken Medal of Gallantry. In a few cases, pigeons even became prisoners of war. In 1918 American forces captured a pigeon named Kaiser, which had been trained to fly special missions for Germany during battle. He was taken to America, where he lived to the age of 32. The most famous pigeon of all may have been Cher Ami. Stationed in France during World War I, he carried twelve important messages for American forces. On his last mission, though wounded, he carried a message that saved the lives of 194 American soldiers. For his extraordinary service, he was awarded the French “Croix de Guerre.”
Carrier pigeons are a slightly different breed (品种) from the kind of pigeons you see on city streets. They are much thinner and taller, with longer legs. Many people find carrier pigeons ugly because of their big wattle, a bent buildup of skin on the beak（鸟嘴）; however, people who raise pigeons often enjoy this strange appearance and consider carriers the best of their breed.
Today, modern communication methods can carry information from one place to another hundreds of times faster than a pigeon could do. However, few people would argue with the fact that carrier pigeons—especially those that served in the military—have earned their place in history. Stories about brave pigeons such as Cher Ami, President Wilson, and Colonel’s Lady have the power to inspire us as no fax machine or high-speed Internet connection could ever do.

| A．they could be believed in |
| B．they were easily raised |
| C．they could reach the enemy lines |
| D．they could hardly be found by airplanes |
| A．Carrier pigeons could fly to places where radios and telephone lines were useless. |
| B．For his extraordinary service, Cher Ami was awarded the French “Croix de Guerre”. |
| C．In World War II, more than 3,000 soldiers were needed to care for and train the pigeons. |
| D．In the 12th century, kings in Iraq were kept informed of the victories and defeats by pigeons. |
| A．how carrier pigeons developed in history |
| B．how to train carrier pigeons to get victory |
| C．carrier pigeons played an important role in the wars in the old days |
| D．pigeons inspired soldiers to fight before high-speed Internet invented |
When she got to an age and got enough skill and sensibility to go outside, she asked her mother if she could go for a ride outside the gate and down the lane. After pleading with her, her mother finally allowed her to go, insisting that she should keep close to the house and not wander too far. The day was beautiful and the little girl knew exactly where she was heading! Down the lane and across the valley, she got to the gate of the golden house across on the other hill.

Benjamin was 1 . He didn"t know why. He was having a fever and tired and didn’t feel like eating. His stomach hurt from time to time. At first he paid very little 2 to it, thinking he would be all right in 3. But he didn"t. After three weeks, he had to go to Dr. Barkley.
The doctor did a few 4 . Then he asked Benjamin if he had gone 5 and drunk dirty water. Benjamin said he hadn"t been camping since he was a soldier in the army.
He asked if Benjamin had eaten at any fast food restaurants in the past month, or eaten from one of the 6 lunch trucks in the Los Angeles area. Benjamin said that he ate fast food or lunch truck food every day at noon.
“That’s probably the 7 of your illness. You have hepatitis(肝炎) A, and you most likely got it from a food worker who didn"t wash his hands thoroughly after using the 8. It happens a lot.” “God! I"m not going to die, am I?”
The doctor told him not to 9 . A viral infection（病毒感染） that 10 the liver（肝脏）, hepatitis A kills only about 100 people every year in the US. He told Benjamin to see him every two weeks, and to be 11 to take three months 12 from work so that he could rest, rest, rest. There is no 13 to hepatitis A. You survive(存活), or you don’t.
“But there is one good thing about hepatitis A,” Dr. Barkley said. “ 14 you get it, you’re immune（免疫） to it for the 15 of your life.”

When the policeman asked her to describe Clyde, she told him that Clyde had beautiful green eyes, had all his teeth but was missing half of his left ear, and was seven years old and completely white. She then told the officer that Clyde was about a foot high.
A bell went off. “Is Clyde your child or your pet?” the officer suspiciously asked. “Well, he’s my cat, of course,” Mrs. Brown replied. “Lady, you’re supposed to report missing PERSONS, not missing CATS,” said the sppeadeotoned policeman. “Well, who can I report this to?” she asked. “You can’t. You have to ask around your neighborhood or put up flyers,” replied the officer.
Mrs. Brown figured that a billboard would work a lot better than an 8”x11” piece of paper on a telephone pole. There was an empty billboard at the end of her street just off the interstate（州际公路） highway. The billboard had a phone number on it. She called that number, and they told her they could blow up a picture of Clyde (from Mrs. Brown’s family album) and put it on the billboard for all to see.
“But how can people see it when they whiz（快速移动） by on the interstate?” she asked. “Oh, don’t worry, ma’am, they only whiz by between 2 a.m. and 5:30 a.m. The rest of the day, the interstate is so full of commuters that no one moves.” They told her it would cost only $3,000 a month. So she took most of the money out of her savings account and rented the billboard for a month.
The month has passed, but Clyde has not appeared. Because she has almost no money in savings, Mrs. Brown called the local newspaper to see if anyone could help her rent the billboard for just one more month. She is waiting but, so far, no one has stepped forward.
小题1:How long has the cat been missing?
| A．More than a month | B．More than two months |
| C．More than three months | D．It’s been back. |
| A．A billboard company | B．The police |
| C．The phone company | D．The interstate telephone line |
| A．Stupid | B．Loving | C．Smart | D．Decisive(有决断力的) |
| A．angry | B．surprised | C．happy | D．excited |
| A．An advertisement | B．A missing cat |
| C．A pet’s story | D．Life without cat |
