16、by can tune in and hear whats on. The devices use radio waves, but they dont generate their own. They hijack（劫持）the same waves that carry music and news to your smart phone. Vikram Iyer co-led the project with Anran Wang, a graduate student in computer science and engineering. The two got the idea f
17、or their invention by paving attention to what was already around them. “Its the ideal way to minimize the power consumption for any kind of communication,” notes Iyer. Their research had focused on new types of wireless communications that wont require much energy. They wanted something that would
18、work outdoors in a city. Then they realized the air is already filled with wireless communications in the form of radio stations. Radio waves carry energy at the speed of light from tall transmission towers to radios in cars, phones and homes. These waves of the antennas take in existing radio waves
19、 and change them slightly. Those changes add new sound information. The changed waves are then sent back out into the world where people can listen in. So the device only needs enough power to change the waves, not to generate them. The scientists tested their device with a poster. It advertised a S

C Kites have been around for a long time. The Chinese invented kites over 2000 years ago. A determined man named
25、 Mo Zi had an idea as he watched hawks (鹰) fly. He spent three years making a wooden hawk “kite”. It broke after one flight! Mo Zi and his Chinese friends did not give up. Soon they perfected the art of creating kites. Kites became part of many Chinese festivals. Pictures of kites were also on vases
26、 and in paintings. But kites were meant to fly in places other than China! Marco Polo visited China in the 13th century and brought kites back to Europe with him. Europeans loved them, and the art of kiting “took off”! Many kites have stories behind them. One Chinese novel, called Journey to the Wes
27、t, was written around 1400 AD. In the story, a priest (僧侣) traveled with three students. One student was a monkey. The second student was a man with pig ears. The third student was a former river monster. These characters often appear on Chinese kites. Another splendid Chinese kite is the dragon kit
28、e. A dragon kite is made of many round discs strung together. Often the dragon is bright red, with fat horns and white teeth. The dragon is the king of beasts in Chinese myths. It represents goodness, even though it looks scary. Two kinds of kites have pictures of birds on them. One kite is called t
29、he phoenix (凤凰) bird kite. The phoenix bird symbolizes peace. Another kite shows the red-headed crane. The crane represents happiness, good fortune, and a long life. Kites come in all shapes and sizes. Flat or bowed kites have a simple shape, such as a diamond or a rectangle (长方形). Delta (三角形) kites
30、 are triangular. Rokkaku kites are six sided and often bear a striking image. Sometimes these kites “fight” each other until one kite drops from the sky. The other kite then wins the “battle”. 8.

D A new study explores the custom of tipping in the United States. Many Americans give tips to people who perform a job for them, espe
34、cially workers in the service industry. They pay a little extra to people cutting their hair, driving them across town or serving them a meal at a restaurant. Researchers from Princeton Survey Research Associates (PSRA) found that men give bigger tips to restaurant workers than women. And people who
35、 live in the northern U.S. are more generous with tips than those living in the South. People who earn $50,000 or more a year give bigger tips than those who earn less $ 50,000. Michael Lynn is a professor of consumer behavior and marketing at the Cornell University School of Hotel Administration in
36、 New York. In other words, he knows a lot about the issue of tipping. In earlier surveys, researchers found mixed results on the generosity of different sexes when it comes to tipping in some studies, men gave bigger tips than women; in others, women gave more money. Lynns own research found that me
37、n give bigger tips when the restaurant server is a woman and women give more when the server is a man. Lynn added that in any survey dealing with human generosity, people can say they give more than they really do. There is no way of finding out if people answering a researchers questions are tellin
38、g the truth. Anyway, here is something to keep in mind. If you are able to give the person serving you a tip or a bigger one than what is expected, your generosity, will be welcome. Many service workers dont make much money, and even an extra dollar or two can make a difference in their lives. 12. W
39、ho might give the smallest tip to the same server according to Paragraph 2? A. A woman living in southern America. B. A man living in northern America. C. A man earning over $50,000. D. A woman earning over $50,000. 13. What is Lynns finding? A. Its hard to say who gives bigger tips. B. Women are mo
40、re generous than men. C. People give more tips to the opposite sex server. D. Men always give more tips than women. 14. What does Lynn say about the research on tips in Paragraph 3? A. People may forget how many tips they have given. B. Making sure of the reliability of the results is difficult. C.
41、Most people taking part in the research are generous. D. Researchers should find honest people to do the survey. 15. What is the authors attitude towards tipping? A. Tipping is unfair to other servers. B. He encourages people to give more. C. Its up to your own choice. D. Its your duty to give tips.

43、ntents. Writing a letter to my friend and my family has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. It probably began with the little notes I would write to my father. My father, also, always insisted I write my own thank-you letters for Christmas and birthday presents. 2 When I left home to
44、 train as a teacher in New York, I would write once a week, and so would my father. Occasionally my mother would write and it was always a happiness to receive her long, amusing letters. 3 Of course, we also made phone calls but it is the letters I remember most. I receives many letters from my boyf
45、riends.
