The island was ruled by a beautiful woman called Tondalaya, the Fire Goddess of the Volcano. It was a low budget movie, but to me, it represented the perfect life. But through the years, Tondalaya was forgotten.The week I turned 50, my marriage came to a sudden end. My house, furniture and everything Id owned was sold to pay debts that I didnt even know existed. In a week I had lost my husband, my home and my parents who had refused to accept a divorce in the family. Id lost everything except my four teenage children. I used every penny I had to buy five plane tickets from Missouri to Hawaii. Everyone said I was crazy to think I could just run off to an island and survive. I was afraid they were right I worked 18 hours a day and lost 30 pounds because I lived on one meal a day. One night as I walked alone on the beach, I saw the red orange lava(火山岩) pouring out of Kilauea Volcano in the distance. It was time to live my imagination!The next day, I quit my job, bought some art supplies and began doing what I loved. I hadnt painted a picture in 15 years. I wondered if I could still paint. My hands trembled the first time I picked up a brush. But before an hour had passed, I was lost in the colors spreading across the canvas(画布) in front of me. And as soon as I started believing in myself, other people started believing in me, too. The first painting sold for $ 1500.The past six years have been filled with adventures. My children and I have gone swimming with dolphins, watched whales and hiked around the crater rim (火山口边缘) of the volcano. We wake up every morning with the ocean in front of us and the volcano behind us. The dream I had more than 40 years ago is now a reality. Im living freely and happily ever after.1. Why did the writer go to Hawaii? A. To free herself from trouble. B. To spend her holiday. C. To make a living. D. To realize her childhood dream.2. Which of the following is the writers dream? A. Live a free and happy life. B. Live in nature with animals. C. Get close to wildlife. D. Become a successful painter.3. We can infer from the passage that _. A. the writer wasnt sure whether she could survive in Hawaii at first B. the writers parents encouraged her to divorce C. the writers husband took away most of her money D. the writer had never done painting beforeBIf cars had wings，they could fly and that just might happen, beginning in 2012.The company Terrafugia, based in Woburn, Massachusetts, says it plans to deliver its carplane, the Transition, to customers by the end of 2012. “Its the next wow vehicle，”said Terrafugia vice president Richard Gersh. “Anybody can buy a Ferrari, but as we say, Ferraris dont fly.” The car plane has wings that unfold for flyinga process the company says takes one minuteand fold back up for driving. A runway is still required to take off and land. The Transition is being marketed more as a plane that drives than a car that flies, although it is both. The company has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations, and with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to meet vehicle safety regulations. The company is aiming to sell the Transition to private pilots as a more convenient and cheaper way to fly. They say it saves you the trouble of trying to find another mode of transportation to get to and from airports: You drive the car to the airport and then youre good to go. When you land, you fold up the wings and hit the road. There are no expensive parking fees because you dont have to store it at an airportyou park it in the garage at home. The carplane is designed to fly primarily under 10,000 feet. It has a maximum takeoff weight of 1,430 pounds, including fuel and passengers. Terrafugia says the Transition reduces the potential for an accident by allowing pilots to drive under bad weather instead of flying into marginal(临界)conditions. The Transitions price tag: $194,000. But there may be additional charges for options like a radio, transponder or GPS. Another option is a fullplane parachute. “If you get into a very awful situation, it is the necessary safety option，” Gersh said.So far, the company has more than 70 orders with deposits. “Were working very closely with them, but there are still some remaining steps，” Brown said.4.We can learn from the first paragraph that_. Acarplanes will be popular in 2012 Bpeople might drive a carplane in 2012 Cboth Transition and Ferrari can take off and land DRichard Gersh is the vice president of Massachusetts5.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? AThe carplane needs a runway to take off and land. BTo meet aircraft regulations, the company has been working with FAA. CThe carplane may fly as high as normal planes. DPeople can park the carplane in the garage at their home.6.The underlined word “it” in the last but one paragraph refers to_. Athe radio Bthe transponder Cthe GPS Dthe fullplane parachute7.Whats the best title for the passage? ACars With Wings May Be Just Around The Corner BWhich To Choose: A Ferrari Or A CarPlane? CA More Convenient And Cheaper Way To Fly DCars With Wings Can Fly As Fast As PlaneCWhy texting harms your IQ？The regular use of text messages and e-mails can lower the IQ more than twice as much as smoking marijuana (大麻). That is the statement of researchers who have found that tapping away on a mobile phone or computer keypad or checking for electronic messages temporarily knocks up to 10 points off the users IQ. This rate of decline in intelligence compares unfavorably with the four-point drop in IQ associated with smoking marijuana, according to British researchers, who have described the phenomenon of improved stupidity as “infomania”. The research conducted by Hewlett Packard, the technology company, has concluded that it is mainly a problem for adult workers, especially men. It is concluded that too much use of modern technology can damage a persons mind. It can cause a constant distraction of “always on” technology when employees should be concentrating on what they are paid to do. Infomania means that they lose concentration as their minds remain fixed in an almost permanent state of readiness to react to technology instead of focusing on the t
