Most clergy will do anything for some media attention, he says. In his autobiography (自传), however, he tells about an encounter with a minister who was different. It happened while Donahue was a young television reporter in Ohio, and one day he was sent to West Virginia in the bitter cold winter to cover a mine disaster. He went by himself in an old little car, carrying a minicam to film the story. It was so cold when he got there, however, the camera wouldnt work. So he put it inside his coat to warm it up enough to run. In the meantime, the families of the trapped miners were gathered around. There were just simple mining peoplewomen, old men, and children. Several of the trapped men were fathers. Then the local minister arrived. He was tall and thin, and he didnt speak well at all. But he gathered all the families around in a circle, and they held one another in their arms while he prayed for them. As this was going on, Donahue was still trying to get his camera to work, and he was extremely disappointed because he couldnt film the scene. Finally, after the prayer was over, Donahue managed to get his camera operating. So he told the minister he had his camera working now and asked if the minister would please do the prayer again so he could film it for the evening news. This simple West Virginia preacher, however, told Donahue, “Young man, we dont pray for the news. Im sorry, but weve already prayed, and I will not pose. ”To this day, Donahue remembers that minister with respect.

BHuman civilization has truly e a long way. From using animals for transport to the super fast automobiles that we have today. From using flint to making fire to using one touch lighters. But there are some things that we will never let go of. Some ancient traditions that have been brought down through the ages are still followed today. Groundhog Day (土拔鼠节), falls on the 2nd of February every year. It is observed in the United States and Canada. While this day may be a public holiday and a bank holiday, it is not a pulsory holiday declared by the government. But this is not so for all the states. State-wise holidays may vary.

On the 2nd of February, Phil es out from his burrow and looks for his shadow. If he sees his shadow and goes back into the burrow, then America will have an extended winter of six weeks. But if he cannot see his shadow, and he remains outside, it means winter will soon end and spring will arrive very shortly. Phil has been predicting the length of winter in this manner for almost a century and they have always been almost 100 accurate. Groundhog Day is celebrated in some parts of the USA and Canada. The largest celebration is held at Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. People e in scores to visit Punxsutawney Phil. They wait eagerly, camping days in advance, to see the small groundhog appear from his burrow, check for his shadow and either go back in or stay out.

She was not the leggy, attractive Hollywood type. In fact, she described herself as stupid. This girl was Reese Witherspoon, who had wanted to be a country singer and admired and respected Dolly Patton very much. That day at the end of the camp her coaches told her to forget about singing. They suggested she think about another career. She took their words to heart. After all, why shouldnt she believe the professionals?But back at home in Nashville, her mothera funny, happy, optimistic womanwouldnt let her feel depressed. Her father, a physician, encouraged her to achieve in school. So she worked hard at everything and was accepted at Stanford University. And at 19, she got a part in a low-budget movie called Freeway, which prepared for her role in the movie Pleasantville. But her big break came with Legally Blonde. “If you cant sing and you arent charming, play to your strengths. If youre going to make it in this business, better focus on what youre good at,” she told the interviewer later.

Scientists say they have developed an experimental device that produces electricity from the physical movement of a person walking. British scientist Max Donelan and other scientists in Canada and the United States developed the device.The device connects to a persons knee. As the person walks, the device captures energy each time the person slows down. To do this, the device helps with the slowing down movement of the leg. The movements of the walking person push parts of a small machine that produces electricity. Using the device, an adult walking quickly could produce thirteen watts of electricity in just a minute. Donelan says walking at that speed could produce enough power to operate a laptop puter for six minutes.There are several possible uses for the device. Developers say it could help people who work in areas without electricity to operate small puters. The device could also be used in hospitals to operate heart pacemakers (起搏器). It could even be used to assist in the movement of robotic arms and legs.The experimental version of the device weighs about one and a half kilograms, but it is too costly for most people to buy. But the researchers hope to make a lighter, less costly version. An improved version shou1d be ready in one year.The developers hope the device will one day help developing countries. Nearly twenty five percent of people around the world live without electric power.A similar product was invented in xx by Larry Rome of the University of Pennsylvania. He created a bag carried on a persons back that also produces power from walking.The knee device does not produce as much electricity as the bag. But the bag requires the walker to carry a load of twenty to thirty kilograms.56. The second paragraph mainly talks about _.A. who developed the deviceB. how the device worksC. several possible uses for the devicesD. how much electricity the device can produce57. What is the disadvantage of the experimental version of the device?A. It is too heavy for the walker to bear.B. It is too plex for people to use.C. It is too expensive for most people to afford.D. It will slow down ones walking speed.58. pared with the device designed by Larry Rome, this new device .A. produces power without adding more loads to the walkerB. can produce more power in a much shorter timeC. needs to be equipped with a batteryD. can help the walker walk faster59. From the passage, we can learn that the electrical device can _.A. help housewives operate the washing machinesB. make it much easier for us to surf the InternetC. produce more electricity than that invented by Larry RomeD. be applied in medicine to operate heart pacemakers60. What would be the best title for the passage?A. First device powered by walking will soon be on the marketB. Advanced technology brings in a new way to operate heart pacemakersC. Device gives new meaning to the idea of power walkingD. Human energy will bee a main source of electricityEThe preventive measures for forest fires include some preemptive (抢先) methods that can help reduce the risks of fires and control their severity and spread, and thus, maintain ecological balance and protect resources. Close monitoring of forest fires caused by natural factors can help prevent their spread to a large extent. To contain forest fires, fire departments usually use water and chemical fire retardants (抑制剂) that can be dropped from planes and helicopters. To control the spread of a wildfire, firefighters usually create a control line by removing all fuel from an area so that the fire cannot travel across it. Controlled burns are often employed by government authorities to reduce fuel buildup, and clean up the fallen leaves, and thus, prevent the spread of forest fires to a vast area. Regular controlled burns can also help maintain biodiversity (生物多样性), as the smoke and heat produced in the process can facilitate (促进) the growth of seeds of certain plant species. Apart from these, responsible human behavior can help reduce the number of forest fires to a great extent. In fact, we can reduce the number of wildfires dramatically by not leaving behind any source of fire in the forest.Forest fires can affect climate and weather to a great extent, besides causing severe damage to valuable trees. Wildfires can increase the level of greenhouse gases (water vapor, carbon dioxide, etc), and therefore increase pollution and global warming. However, they are also an important part of the ecosystem, and many plants depend on the heat and smoke generated by wildfires for their growth and reproduction. But large wildfires can cause e
