Water is important to all living things but some areas in the world are short of water a lot. So we should try to protect and save water.

A group of students from Zhejiang University have successfully developed an “air hand-washing machine”. The machine uses an infrared ray induction system (红外线感应系统), which can feel the presence of our hands. If it feels there are hands, the water with the air will come from the tap. And it has been proven that it is nearly as effective as traditional hand-washing. It uses only ten percent of the water that regular hand-washing does. The students have even set up a company to introduce the product to the public.

Li Qizhang, a member of the team that developed the machine, told a reporter that a model of their machine had already been placed in a classroom building at the university and it worked very well.

In 2014, a student called Chen Puyang first thought of the idea while he was washing his hands. Washing one’s hands uses a lot of water, Chen thought. Would it be possible to replace the water with air? Others may not give the question a second thought. However, for Chen and Li, who were studying fluid mechanics (流体力学) at the time, this was considered to be an excellent idea.

Soon, Chen, Li and several classmates started on the project. After a year of research, the team came up with a gravity-driven (重力驱动) hand-washing machine successfully.

One day in 1903 French scientist Edouard Benedictus climbed high to get something on a high shelf in his laboratory. He carelessly hit an empty glass flask（烧瓶）and it fell to the stone floor.

Benedictus climbed down, expecting a mess, but he found a surprise. The glass hadn’t broken into a million pieces! It had cracked（破裂）, but it had held together. Benedictus wondered why.

His helper explained he had used the flask to hold liquid plastic（液态塑料）. Then he had put the flask aside and forgotten to wash it. The liquid plastic dried, so the flask looked empty. Benedictus found that the dried plastic had kept the cracked glass from falling apart.

The same week, Benedictus read a report about a car accident in the newspaper. The car was a new and exciting invention, and many people were driving fast on the roads. When accidents happened, people were often hurt by flying broken glass. Suddenly Benedictus thought of the broken flask. Could his accident be something useful?

Benedictus spent a lot of time in the lab, trying to find out the best way to make safety glass for cars. Finally, Benedictus put some liquid plastic between two pieces of glass and pressed（压）them together. When he hit it, the “glass-and-plastic sandwich” cracked, but it didn’t break into small pieces.

Benedictus succeeded. He wrote in his diary, “I produced my first piece of Triplex（the name for his invention）-full of promise（充满希望）for the future.”

Benedictus was right. His method of putting plastic between pieces of glass is still used today. And that’s how a careless accident led to an invention that made us all safer!

31．How did Benedictus feel when he saw the cracked glass flask?

A．Angry. B．Sorry. C．Excited. D．Surprised.

32．The glass flask didn’t fall part because ________.

A．the floor was not so hard B．the shelf was not so high

C．there was dried plastic in it D．Benedictus’ helper caught it

33．When did Benedictus decide to work on his invention?

A．When he read a news report. B．When he climbed high on a shelf.

C．After his helper had a car accident. D．After his helper gave him a suggestion.

34．What do we know about Triplex?

A．It was invented in 1900. B．It had plastic on its cover.

C．It got popular as soon as it was invented. D．It had an influence on today’s safety glass.

35．Which of the following is the best title of the passage?

A．Magic of Plastic B．Lessons from Accidents

C．A Great Accidental Invention D．Daily Life of a French Scientist

March 2 is Old Stuff(物品) Day. You must have some old stuff around. And today is all about enjoying it. Because what’s better than finding something really great from days gone by?

It’s so easy to forget things you have. And that’s not just the things in your home—in the age of new information, we can have so many things easily. Today is all about remembering the things we sometimes leave behind.

We’ve learned to value(重视) what age can bring to things. Wines, for example, are more valuable and tastier as they grow older. It’s certain that old things still have their uses or charm(魅力). People today will pay a pretty penny for stamps, toys, video games, books, coins, and clothes of yesterday.

You can really get into the charm of old things by visiting a junk shop(旧货店). Another person’s old stuff could be your new stuff! Old stuff could become a great gift for someone else, or you could always send your old things to a charity(慈善) shop. If you’re free, you could turn your old things like old clothes into new ones with just a little change.

Today could be a good day to visit your older family. You could ask your grandparents to tell you stories about family history, their childhood and their youth. Learn about what was going on in the world when they were growing up.

Most of all, remember that today’s new stuff will one day be old stuff.

36．What is Old Stuff Day for?

A．It’s to tell people to stop buying. B．It’s to throw away old things.

C．It’s to protect the traditional arts. D．It’s to enjoy and reuse old things.

37．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?

A．Old things take too much room at home. B．Old things are still valuable and useful.

C．We may forget things that we have easily. D．People always clean up their houses.

38．According to the writer, which is NOT a proper way to deal with old things?

A．Turning old things into new ones. B．Sending them to a charity shop.

C．Cutting them into small pieces. D．Giving them to someone else as gifts.

39．The purpose of writing this passage is to make readers ________.

Remember books? With pages. In the old days before computers, to get information, people read books and newspapers. Students spent hours and hours in the library, looking for information in the old books for homework. Now students can find anything on the Internet in seconds. The library was a place where everyone was quiet. Sing along to music? Never! Watch a movie on phone while they are reading? Impossible! But now students can watch videos about their research topic as they write a paper.

Before computers, articles were handwritten. If a student made a mistake, he or she would throw the paper away and start writing all over again. Now? If a student makes a mistake, he or she can just remove or cut it. Students type on their computers and edit (编辑) freely. But they should save (保存) their writing in time on the computer because it may stop working suddenly. Who wants to lose his or her hard work forever?

Communication online is easy and fun. While students are writing, they can discuss with friends in another window. Did you think they were chatting (聊天) with someone in the real same room? No! They’re chatting with everyone in their own room.

Technology helps us get important information in no time. In areas where bad weather is a problem, we can get warnings from our phones. Our local radio or TV station can give information about where to get help or what to do to keep our family and home safe. Technology is our friend!
