Once on a dark winter's day,when the yellow fog hung so thick and heavy in the streets of London that the lamps were lighted and the shop windows blazed with gas as they did at night,an odd-looking little girl sat in a cab with her father and was driven rather slowly through the main street.
Sara Crewe leaned against her father,who held her in his arms,as she stared out of the window at the passing people with an old-fashioned thoughtfulness in her big eyes. At this moment she was remembering the voyage she had just made from Bombay with her father,Captain Crewe. She was thinking of what a strange thing it was that at one time one was in India in the hot sun,and then in the middle of the ocean,and then driving in a strange vehicle through strange streets.
“Papa,” she said in a low,mysterious little voice which was almost a whisper.
“What is it,darling?”Captain Crewe answered,holding her closer and looking down into her face.
"Is this the place?"Sara whispered.
"Yes,little Sara,it is. We have reached it at last.”
It seemed to her many years since he had begun to prepare her mind for "the place”,as she always called it. Her mother had died when she was born,so she had never known or missed her.Her young,handsome,rich father seemed to be the only relation she had in the world.
During her short life only one thing had troubled her,and that thing was "the place” she was to be taken to some day. The climate of India was very bad for children,and as soon as possible they were sent away from it-generally to England and to school.
"Couldn't you go to that place with me,Papa?"she had asked when she was five years old.
"Couldn't you go to school,too? I would help you with your lessons.”
"But you will not have to stay for a very long time,little Sara,”he had always said. "You will grow so fast that it will seem scarcely a year before you are big enough and clever enough to come back and take care of Papa.”
She had liked to think of that.She liked to talk to him and read his books-that would be what she would like most in the world,and if one must go away to "the place” in England to attain it,she must make up her mind to go.She liked books more than anything else,and was,in fact,always inventing stories of beautiful things and telling them to herself.
Captain Crewe held her very closely in his arms as the cab rolled into the big,dull square in which stood the house which was their destination.
The story happened_______.

A.on a moonless night B.on a foggy day
C.on a hot day D.on a starry night

Sara Crewe came to England to_______

A.visit her relatives B.see her mother's house
C.receive education D.buy books for her father

We can learn from the story that Sara Crewe was_______.

A.sceptical B.curious C.cheerful D.imaginative

The Green Microgym in Portland,Oregon has all the usual stuff you'd expect-sweaty people,loud music,smooth exercise equipment-but it has some extras as well. Everywhere you look,there are power wires. And these aren't the typical kind that let you surf the Web while you ride a spin cycle-although. you can do that too.The gym uses special exercise equipment that captures(捕获)the energy you create while riding, converts(转换)it into electricity and channels it into the power outlets(插座).
The idea of using exercise equipment to produce electricity is not new. A gym in Hong Kong has been doing this since 2007. But clean (and healthy)energy is just now starting to catch on in U. S. gyms·"We have seen a significant increase in interest in the past six months,which is a good sign that fitness centers are ready to spend money on green technologies,” says Mike Curnyn,co-founder of the Green Revolution,a Connecticut-based firm that wires bikes into a central battery that can store energy.
The Green Microgym,first opened in 2008,has more than 200 members and is doing so well that owner Adam Boesel opened another one five miles from the original.Although membership costs about the same as ordinary gyms,customers can earn gift certificates from local businesses for watts produced while exercising.An average workout creates 37. 5 watt hours,which is enough to power a phone for a week.
Boesel uses spin bikes made by Resource Fitness,a Seattle company he co-owns,that captures energy produced from the flywheel. Wires send the converted AC current(交流电流)into any standard wall outlet-for this reason,the product line's name is Plug Out-and the energy created is used before the building draws power from the grid(电网).Unlike the Green Revolution equipment,Plug Out machines cannot store extra energy. A third company,the Florida-based ReRev,is adding converters to a specific brand of spin bikes. But since the converters add$1,000 to the price of the equipment,the ReRev and Green Revolution machines are at a disadvantage.
Resource Fitness,by contrast,sells its equipment for the same$1,200 price as non- electricity-producing machines,removing the question of how long it will be until the energy savings pay for the cost of the unit.The company can afford to do this because its designs don’t call for the extra wiring needed for battery packs and large converters.It is also trying to price competitively with standard equipment so more gyms-and gym goers-will make the switch.
Members of the Green Microgym earn gift certificates for_______.

A.using the man-powered exercise equipment
B.saving electricity for local businesses
C.producing green electricity to power their phones
D.paying higher membership fees

The spin bikes made by Resource Fitness are different from those by Green Revolution in that_______.

A.they are easier to ride
B.they are more expensive
C.they don't have wires connected
D.they can not store extra electricity

What might prevent the green exercise equipment from getting more popular?

A.People's unwillingness to go green.
B.The high cost of making it.
C.Safety problems concerning electricity.
D.Lack of certificates.

The underlined words“make the switch”in the last paragraph most probably mean_____.

A.change to a different gym
B.use green exercise equipment
C.switch on the spin bikes
D.add a battery to the machine

Something that has always interested me about Abraham Lincoln is,not surprisingly,his sense of humor. As far as I can tell,he's the first American President to have one.
That's because the term“sense of humor” really wasn't in common usage until the eighteen-sixties and seventies.In the eighteen-forties and fifties,it was called“the sense of the ridiculous," and didn't have the positive connotations(隐含意义)that“sense of humor" has today. Back then,what was ridiculous was what invited ridicule(讥笑).Funniness and cruelty went hand in hand.Of course,they still do a lot of arm-in-arm walking in our day as well.
Lincoln’s humor was very different because,for one thing,it was actually "humor"as what the word meant in his time. We don't make the distinction between "wit(风趣)”and "humor”anymore; but in the nineteenth century people did.Wit was unpleasant and offensive while humor was pleasant and sympathetic.It’s the difference we note now when we distinguish between "laughing with”and“laughing at.”Lincoln was much more about "laughing with”than "laughing at.”And when“laughing at,”it was often himself he was teasing.
In the famous Lincoln-Douglas debates,when Douglas accused Lincoln of being two-faced,Lincoln replied,referencing his plain looking,“Honestly,if I were two-faced,would I be showing you this one?”And,in a way,Lincoln's face itself tells us much about his sense of humor.
You can comb through thousands of photographs of politicians,soldiers,and the like from Lincoln's time and not find a single smile.
True, the long exposures(曝光)required for photographs of that time made smiling difficult.Yet Lincoln alone,as far as I can tell,overcame that difficulty.
Interestingly, while having a sense of humor,or at least the appearance of one provided by comedy writers has become a necessary characteristic for an American President in our time,in the nineteenth century,too much humor was considered problem.  And that was the case for Lincoln.A journalist covering the Lincoln-Douglas debates commented that“I could not take a real personal liking to the man,owing to an inborn weakness. . .that he was extremely, fond of jokes,anecdotes,and stories.”
We can infer from Paragraph 2 that__

A.the American President could influence the use of English
B.the term "sense of humor”wasn't invented until the 1860s
C.what is funny to someone might be offensive to someone else
D.the concept of humor remains the same despite the passing of time

The underlined words“this one”in Paragraph 4 refer to__.

A.Lincoln's unattractive face
B.Lincoln's sense of humor
C.the debate they were having
D.cruelty that went with funniness

We rarely see people from Lincoln's time wear smile in their photos because_.

A.being humorous was considered inappropriate
B.they found it quite funny to smile before camera
C.not smiling for photographs was the fashion
D.photography technology then was not advanced

What might the writer think of the journalist covering the Lincoln-Douglas debates?

A.His comment accurately reflected his time
B.He created a false picture of Lincoln
C.He was prejudiced and self-centered
D.He was brave to point out Lincoln's weakness

Learning inside the museum
Museums have an important role in providing learning services to users,especially school children.Some learning services will provide a range of formal teaching opportunities in the museum;others will work closely with school teachers so that these teachers can make better use of the learning resources available through displays and exhibitions,databases,handling collections and museum staff.
In an ideal world,every museum would have at least one learning or education specialist.He or she would be a trained teacher who also had a good understanding of museums and museum collections,and a strong feeling to help people especially children use and learn from them.
A museum education specialist is of great value. For most museums the establishment of such a post should be high priority. He or she is the only member of staff with training in the psychology of learning,and has considerable experience of analyzing complex concepts and-presenting them in a simple way to a non-specialist audience. The education specialist is,indeed,the only professional interpreter in the museum.
It is clearly reasonable,therefore,for the museum to make full use of the education specialist's skills,and to involve him or her in all aspects of interpretation and the planning of new displays and exhibitions.Museum learning is not just about teaching children,though children may be its principal audience.
Many small museums may not be able to employ an education specialist of their own.For them,there are other possibilities. One is that the local Schools Service may be able to lend a teacher to the museum,perhaps for two or three years,who could be trained to apply teaching skills to the museum context: another is that suitable volunteers may be available in the community-perhaps retired teacher,or teachers not presently working who may be willing to give some of their time to the museum. Another possibility is sponsorship:a large company might be willing to finance the appointment an education specialist for a few years.
An important part of the work for the education specialist in a museum is to establish strong links with its local schools.He or she is a communicator who has responsibility for keeping contact with the teachers at local schools. He or she should make sure that the schools know what is going on at the museum and how they can make use of it,and that the museum staff know about development in the school.Above all,it is their responsibility to find out what schools want and to ensure that the museum does its best to meet those requirements.There needs to be a continuing dialogue between teachers and museum:the museum needs to know what the teachers are teaching;teachers need to learn how the museum could help,and what resources they could use.
The look of wonder on a child's face can be the reward for a lifetime's work in museums.The aims of museum learning are to establish contact between people ----whether children or adults---and objects;and not to teach facts,but to sow(播)a seed of interest,a spark(火花)of inspiration.
