举一反三
Australians have been warned they face a life or death decision over their water —— drink recycled sewage(污水) or die.
With the drought(干旱) continuing, the country is set to be forced to use purified waste water for drinking, even if there is great opposition to the measure
Queensland has become the first state to introduce the policy after a warning from its premier.
“I think in the end, because of the drought, all of Australia is going to end up drinking recycled purified water,” said former Premier Peter Beattie. “These are difficult decisions, but you either drink water or you die. There’s no choice. It"s liquid gold; it a matter of life and death.”   
Beattie said Australia"s second largest state would become the first to use recycled water for drinking.
Water is recycled in Britain and parts of northern Europe along with the US and Israel.
But Australians have never liked the idea.
To try to change the way Australians think, John Howard  and  Environment Minister Malcolm Turnbull have Supported Queensland’s move.
“I am very strongly for recycling and Mr Beattie is right and I agree with him completely,” Howard said.
“Australian cities, all now facing water shortages because of the worst drought on record, must start to use recycled water,” added Turnbull. “All of our big cities have to widen the range of water sources to include sources which are not dependent on rainfall.”
小题1:What is the passage mainly about?
A.Australians face the choice of life and death.
B.Continuing drought forces Australians to drink recycled sewage.
C.Mr Beattie is worried about his people’s health.
D.We should avoid drinking recycled water to keep healthy.
小题2:According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A.The drought is the worst one in the droughts recorded in Australian history.
B.Australia’s largest state has become the first state to introduce the policy.
C.No other countries but Australia decides to drink recycled water.
D.Nobody disagrees to the idea of drinking recycled purified water.
小题3:It can be inferred from what Peter Beattie said that_________.
A.he gives orders to drink purified waste water.
B.if the decision is made, people won"t survive the drought
C.it is painful for him to see his people drink recycled sewage
D.it"s up to you to make a life or death decision

A volcanic eruption in Iceland has sent ash across northern Europe Airlines have stopped or changed the flights across the Atlantic Ocean, leaving hundreds of passengers stuck in airports.
Grimsvom is one of the largest and most active volcanoes in Europe. What makes Grimsvom different is that it lies under a huge glacier(冰川) of ice up to 12 maters thick. The hot volcano heats up the ice above it, which then forms a layer(层)of water between the glacier and the volcano This layer of water puts pressure on the volcano, keeping it stable, As the water flows out from under the glacier, the pressure lifts. The lava(岩浆) from the volcano then comes up to the surface. This is exactly what happened today.
Now, airlines have to make changes to their flights so as not to fly through the clouds of volcanic ash. according to KLM, one of Europe’s biggest airlines, airplanes cannot go under the cloud or over it. Going through the cloud can result in ash getting stuck in the airplane’s engines, causing damage to the plane.

It can greet people, show DVDs and hand out balloons. “Ubiko”, a robot-on –wheels with a catlike face, is joining the crew of temporary workers supplied by a Japanese job-referral company, Ubiquitous Exchange, to stores, events and even weddings. Next month, the 44-inch tall robot will be selling mobile phones at a store.
Ubiko can be hired as a temporary worker for two hours for 105,000 yen, or $890.
“We see this as serious business. There are jobs that robots are better at,” Akiko Sakurai said “people do develop a relation with the robot, and it’s lovable.”
The $255,000 robot, which is equipped with a camera and sensors, greets customers with a nasal electronic voice, shows DVDs with a projector in its head and hands out balloons and other goods with wireless remote-controllable arms.
Ubiko sounds like a Japanese female name, which often ends with “ko”.
Tmsuk, the Japanese company that makes the robot, sold three last month to hospital, where they are working as full-time, rather than temporary, receptionists and guides. One of the hospital’s robots serves as a receptionist and has been programmed to greet visitors. It also has a touch-panel(控制板) on its body, and visitors can use it to get directions for where they want to go. 
“Just give it electricity, and a robot can work for long hours, even do repetitive work, and you don’t have to worry about labor laws,” Sudo said.
Japan’s lower birth rate means that in the coming years it could face a labor shortage, and some experts believe robots could be part of the key to that problem. Robots are very popular in Japan partly because of the popularity of cartoons that describe robots as friends and assistants to humans.
小题1:The news report is mainly to _________________.
A.give praise to advanced robots in Japan

C.tell readers the advantage of the robots in Japan

C.Ubiko can work for long hours without using energy
D.three robots have been sold to a hospital
小题3:Which of the following can be inferred about Ubiko according to the passage?
A.It sounds beautiful, like a girl’s voice.
B.It is named after a Japanese girl.
C.It will have a wider market.
D.It was designed for hospitals.
小题4:Which of the following makes robots more popular in Japan?

B.The interesting shapes of robots.
C.The function of showing DVDs and handing out balloons.
D.Cartoon’s showing good relationship between robots and humans.

When it comes to success in business and success in life, there are few qualities as important as confidence.
People naturally have different levels of confidence.Some have a higher level of confidence than others do, but even those whose confidence is lacking can learn to build their level of confidence and reach their most important goals.Increasing self confidence is one of the most common reasons people give for seeking the help of psychologists and other professionals.
One of the many places where a greater level of confidence is useful is in the workplace.We all know how difficult it can be, for instance, to ask the boss for a raise.This process can be extremely difficult for those who lack confidence in their own abilities.After all, if you are unsure about your own abilities, how will you ever convince your boss that you deserve more money for the work you do?
Even if you are not asking for that big raise, having plenty of confidence in your abilities is important to success.If you are certain of your abilities, chances are that those around you, whether they are your coworkers, your colleagues or your superiors, will see that confidence, and that will help to assure them that you are the best at what you do.
Being thought of as the person to go to, and being seen as an expert in your chosen field, is naturally very important to success on the job.If you can make yourself the person people go to for guidance and advice, you will help to protect yourself from the ever present danger of downsizing(裁员).After all, if you are a recognized expert at the office, you will be regarded as an indispensable member of the team.
Having a high level of confidence, after all, does not mean overlooking the places where you could improve.Knowing what you do well and where you need help will help you enjoy increased success and confidence.
小题1:What is the passage mainly about?
A.The influence of confidence on one"s life.
B.The difference of people"s confidence..
C.The importance of confidence to success
D.The judgment on one"s confidence.
小题2:Psychologists and other professionals can offer help to those ______.
A.who dream to be recognized experts
B.who expect to give guidance to others
C.who want to ask the boss for a raise
D.who think their goals are hard to reach
小题3:What message does the author want to convey(传递) in the last paragraph?

B.To make full use of one"s advantages.
C.To have great confidence in one"s abilities.
