     This happened in a third-grade classroom. Jim sat  1  his desk and all of a sudden, there was a
puddle(一滩水) between his feet and the front of his trousers was wet. He felt his heart was going to
stop. He knew   2   would happen when his classmates found out. He looked up and there came the
teacher with   3   look in her eyes that said he   4 (discover).
     As the teacher was walking towards   5  , a classmate named Susie was carrying a goldfish bowl full
of water to her desk. Suddenly, Susie tripped (绊倒) and,   6  (strange), dumped the whole bowl of
water in Jim"s lap. He pretended to be angry, but all the while he was saying deep in his heart, "Thank
you!"
     Jim became the object of sympathy instead of ridicule (嘲笑). The teacher brought him gym shorts to
put on. All the others crawled(爬) on their hands and knees,   7  (clean) up around his desk. But 8
life would have it, the ridicule that should have been his had been transferred (转移) to Susie. She tried
to help,   9  they told her to leave the room   10 school was over, Jim walked over to Susie and
whispered, "You did that on purpose, didn"t you?"
     Susie whispered back, "I wet my trousers once, too!"

     Batteries can power anything from small sensors to large systems. While scientists are finding ways to
make them smaller but even more powerful, problems can arise when these batteries are much larger and
heavier than the devices themselves. University of Missouri(MU) researchers are developing a nuclear
energy source that is smaller, lighter and more efficient.
     "To provide enough power, we need certain methods with high energy density",said Jae Kwon,
assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at MU. "The radioisotope (放射性同位素)
battery can provide power density that is much higher than chemical batteries."
     Kwon and his research team have been working on building a small nuclear battery, presently the size
and thickness of a penny, intended to power various micro / nanoelectromechanical systems (M/NEMS). Although nuclear batteries can cause concerns, Kwon said they are safe.
     "People hear the word "nuclear" and think of something very dangerous," he said, "However, nuclear
power sources have already been safely powering a variety of devices, such as pace-makers, space
satellites and underwater systems."
     His new idea is not only in the battery"s size, but also in its semiconductor(半导体). Kwon"s battery
uses a liquid semiconductor rather than a solid semiconductor.
     "The key part of using a radioactive battery is that when you harvest the energy, part of the radiation
energy can damage the lattice structure of the solid semiconductor," Kwon said, "By using a liquid
semiconductor, we believe we can minimize that problem."
     Together with J. David Robertson, chemistry professor and associate director of the MU Research
Reactor, Kwon is working to build and test the battery. In the future, they hope to increase the battery"s
power, shrink its size and try with various other materials. Kwon said that battery could be thinner than
the thickness of human hair.

1. Which of the following is true of Jae Kwon?

A. He teaches chemistry at MU.
B. He developed a chemical battery.
C. He is working on a nuclear energy source.
D. He made a breakthrough in computer engineering.

2. Jae Kwon gave examples in Paragraph 4_________.

A. to show chemical batteries are widely applied.
B. to introduce nuclear batteries can be safely used.
C. to describe a nuclear-powered system.
D. to introduce various energy sources.

3. Liquid semiconductor is used to _________.

A. get rid of the radioactive waste
B. test the power of nuclear batteries.
C. decrease the size of nuclear batteries
D. reduce the damage to lattice structure.

4. According to Jae Kwon, his nuclear battery _______.

A. uses a solid semiconductor
B. will soon replace the present ones.
C. could be extremely thin
D. has passed the final test.

5. The text is most probably a ________.

A. science news report
B. book review
C. newspaper ad
D. science fiction story

In Cardiff I was put to work in furniture department at one of the local stores. It was large, fairly out of date, run , like its parent company in London, by a group of relatives. Being only a member of the store for a short time, I was in a very fortunate position. The others, particularly the older members of the store, were naturally asked to produce good sales figures. I was more of an observer. If I made a sale, I was pleased, but if I didn"t, I would not be blamed. I was really there to observe and learn, and as I had no interest in making a position in the furniture business, I wasn"t too diligent about that either. One salesman in late middle age once expressed his insecurity by scolding me of trying to steal one of his customers. Nothing could have been further from the truth, but he demanded that I go to the stockroom with him to settle the matter. He was very small and thin, but to my surprise he started dancing about among the carpets and closets working his arms wildly and calling on me to "put them up". I couldn"t put anything up-I was too busy rolling on a four-foot six-inch spring mattress (弹簧垫子) , helpless with laughter. Finally he saw the joke too, and we went off to the members" store for a conciliatory (和解) cup of tea. Several days later, I finally left the store. Thank God!

2. The shop in Cardiff ______.
A. was big and very modern B. was old but beautiful C. didn"t sell furniture only D. was famous in London
3. The author was lucky because ________.

4. One salesman thought that ______ .
A. the author was more of an observer than a real member of the store B. what the author had said was far from the truth C. the author tried to get a person to buy the furniture dishonestly D. the writer destroyed a four-foot six-inch spring mattress

A Tight Situation Sometimes funny memories are the most special way to remember a beloved lover. It helps take away some of the feeling of loss. Before he passed away, my husband loved to share this story with our friends. Now, it makes a smile to share this story with you. Our neighbor"s son was getting married at a church, and we were invited. We immediately rushed out to the store, and I bought a nice pink dress with a jacket. The dress was a little tight, but I had a month before the June 30 wedding and I would lose a few pounds. June 29 came and, of course, I had not lost a single pound; in fact, I had gained two. But, I thought a new girdle (收腹健美裤) would solve my problem. So on the way to the wedding, we stopped once again at the store. I ran in and told the clerk I needed a size large girdle. The clerk found the box with the described girdle, marked "L", and asked if I would like to try it on. "Oh, no, large will fit just right. I won"t need to try it on." The next morning was hot, so I waited to get dressed until about forty-five minutes before time to go. I opened the girdle box only to find a new ＄49.95 girdle in a size small. Since it was too late to find another one and the dress wouldn"t fit right without a girdle, a fight broke out between me and the girdle. Have you ever tried to shake twenty pounds of potatoes into a five-pound bag? Finally, my husband, laughing like crazy, got hold of each side and shook me down into it, and I was ready to go. As we walked into the church, he asked if I could make it. Now, he was getting worried because I was breathing funny. I told him that it would last one hour, twenty-two minutes and eight-and-one-half seconds-the minister blessed everything except my girdle! My knees were blue and my legs lost all the feeling. My husband was asking questions and trying to comfort me. As soon as the minister pronounced them married, I rushed out with my husband. "Please, just get me out of here!" I said. We ran out to our car, and once there he opened the front and back passenger doors against the next car. Right there, before God, human and the wedding party, I took off that girdle. When the girdle flew out of my hand and landed under the car next to ours, my husband was laughing so hard and we drove away. Over the years, he and I had often wondered what the people of that church thought the next morning when they found ＄49.95, size small girdle in their parking lot.

A. was sorry for her husband"s death B. was happy to share her funny memories C. was wondering who had picked up the girdle D. still couldn"t forget the trouble on that day
