Two years later we moved into a house in a new suburban (郊区的) development area, where we put down roots. At first our lawn was just a pil
17、e of mud with wild grass, but Leo saw bright possibilities. “We will plant trees there to give us shade as well as some flowers,” he said.

18、er.Weekday mornings when the weather was bad, Leo often drove me to school. Having a father drop you off may have been something my classmates took for granted, but I always thought it was wonderful. On Saturday mornings, we went to the shop, buying a sports magazine or something else. Some people m
19、ight think that doing shopping together is nothing special, but I, who had ever before spent my childhood watching other families do their everyday activities, experienced them now with extreme delight.

27、r Joan,If your family didnt pay attention to your needs when you were a child, you probably have trouble letting others know your needs now.And if youve gathered your friends around you to rebuild a happy family atmosphere (气氛), you may fear that saying no will bring back the kind of conflict you gr
28、ew up with, or destroy the nice atmosphere you now enjoy.

But over the years, the Olympic saying, “Faster, higher, stronger”, has pushed scienti
32、sts as well as athletes to do everything possible to reach new levels.Doctors, engineers and coaches all use everything to achieve that little bit extra in competition. The reason modern technology has become part of sport is very simple: Winning is just important as it was 2,500 years ago at the Ol
33、ympics of ancient Greece. Developments in technology have often been reflected in the methods of training and performance at the Olympics through history. The technology falls into two main groups: improving an athletes performance in competition, and allowing results to be measured more accurately.
34、One of the creations that has drawn the most attention is the new high-tech swimsuit from Speedo, which was used by many US swimmers in Athens. Until Sydney 2000, it was thought that the smaller the swimsuit was, the faster the swimmer would travel. “However, the fact that at the Sydney Olympics, 28
35、 of the 33 gold medalists were wearing the body covering suit proves the theory was out of date,” said Andy Thomas, vice-president of Speedo.The companys full body suit is supposed to make swimmers 3 to 4 percent faster, particularly when diving into the water. It is believed that suit creates less
36、water resistance as it moves, behaving more like a shark than a human skin.The introduction of high-tech equipment means that athletes in all sports, from the 100-meter sprint to the pole vault, can now train more effectively. 43. Which is NOT the first aims of the modern Olympic Games?A. Improving
37、health and education. B. Promoting world peace.C. Encouraging fair and equal competition. D. Winning medals.44.

38、o test their abilities D. want to become famous45.

39、overing swimsuit is too heavyD. it it believed that the new high-tech suit creates no water resistance as it moves46. In the passage it mentions that high technology is involved in _ aspects.A. 1 B. 2 C. 3 D. 4D“Life is speeding up. Everyone is getting unwell.”This may sound like something someone w
40、ould say today. But in fact, an unknown citizen who lives in Rome in AD53 wrote it. We all love new inventions. They are exciting, amazing and can even change our lives.But have all these developments really improved the quality of our lives?Picture this: Youre rushing to finish your homework on the
41、 computer. Your mobile phone rings, a QQ message from your friend appears on the screen, the noise from the television is getting louder and louder. Suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your work. Now you have to stay up all night to get it done. Why do you think people who live far awa
42、y from noisy cities, who have no telephones, no cars, not even any electricity often seem to be happier? Perhaps because they lead simpler lives. One family in the UK went back in time to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today. They had no washing machine, microwave, compute
43、r or mobile phones.The grandmother, Lyn, said: “It was hard physically. But not mentally.”She believed life was less materialistic (重物质享受的). “The more things you have, the more difficult life becomes,” she said. The boys said they fought less. Probably, they said, because there was less to fight ove
44、r, such as their computer.Here are some simple ways to beat the stress often caused by our inventions!Dont be available all the time. Turn off your mobile phone at certain times of the day. Dont check your e-mails every day. Dont reply to somebody as soon as they leave a text message just because yo
45、u can. It may be fun at first, but it soon gets annoying.With the Internet and so much information available, we are expected to know everything all the time, but dont be afraid to say sometimes: “I dont know”.Make sure you spend some time talking to your family. Set aside one evening a week when yo
46、u dont turn on the television. Play cards and chat instead. Dont worry too much about lifelaugh more!47.
