Ideas or inventions that change society or, at least, make life easier for somebody? Perhaps we all do sometimes, but we dont often make the idea a reality. Recently, in Britain, there was a competition called British Designers for Tomorrow. The competition encourages young people to carry out their bright ideas. There were two groups in the contest: Group One was for schoolchildren under 16; Group Two was for schoolchildren over 16, and there were eleven prize-winners altogether. Neil Hunt, one of the prize-winners, was called “Sunshine Superman. Its important when people study the weather to be able to record sunshine accurately. We need to know how many hours of sunshine we have and how strong it is. Most sunshine recorders only record direct sunlight. Neils is more accurate and this is very important for research into the way of using solar power.You can do so much with animated cartoon. Look at Simon Wests idea for animated road signs. He uses pictures which appear to move as you go nearer to or farther from them. This isnt a new idea. But it is new to use these pictures on road signs. “We found that people were more likely to see moving signs, said Simon. So now, you can really see rocks falling, trains moving, horses running or a car falling over the edge of a cliff. Quite a warning!The ideas in the competition were so inventive that we are surprised that British industry doesnt ask more schoolchildren for suggestions. Perhaps this will be the start of “pupil power!56. The writer seems to be encouraging the British industry to _.

A. become good designers for future BritainB. win as many prizes as they couldC. design something useful for the next dayD. invent something for immediate use59. Whats the use of Simon Wests animated road signs?A. To add to the beauty of a city.B. To warn people on the roads of the danger ahead.C. To help make a car trip more exciting.D.

Its not that I mind the hard work, or am afraid of coming into contact with toxic substances. What I fear is quickly losing hope about the work I do. However, doing field research with the toxics team, all I see and feel is filthnothing else. Even if I close my eyes, I can smell the smell of food processing, rotting organic waste from paper mills and chemicals from clothing manufacturers. One morning, I went to investigate a discharged pipe to document and collect samples of pollutants secretly being emitted by a textile mill. I had to work with the utmost secrecy in order to avoid being discovered by the textile mill. I dipped a long measuring pole into the large polluting pipe to measure the volume of polluted water being emitted. But the surface of the water, covered in oil and filth, made me feel as if to vomit. All of a sudden, I felt someone hit me on my back. It frightened me so much that I almost fell into the water. I grasped the pole and looked behind me to see an old man standing there. He asked,“Can you catch fish here?I realized that he thought I was holding a fishing pole, so I kept calm and said,“Yes, I heard that theres a kind of small fish living in this water, and it has medicinal benefits. The old man grew quite curious and replied,“That may be. If a fish can survive in water as dirty as this , it must have a lot of resistance. So it wouldnt be too strange if such fish had medicinal benefits. It was clear he was just passing by, so I answered,“Yeah, survival of the fittest. Fish that adapt can survive, just like us humans. He kept talking to me and didnt want to leave. He wanted to see whether or not I would catch the small fish with medicinal benefits.61. The text is mainly about_.

A. the old man had found out the secret. B. the old man wanted to catch the fish by himself. C. the writer would have to tell the old man the fact. D. the old man was sent to watch over the writer.CIn our home it was natural to fear our father. Even our mother was afraid of him. As children, my sister and I thought every family was like that. Every family had an unpredictable dad who was impossible to please and a praying mom who was there to protect the children.We were good children. Mom was always telling us we were, even if Daddy couldnt see it, part of this was because we didnt dare to do anything.Then came the day we found something new and fun to do. We worked at drawing with chalk on our wooden front door and making lots of pretty pictures all over it. We had a great time. We thought Mom would love it and praise us.The praise we expected did not come. Instead, Mom was mad. We did not understand why, but we knew we were in big trouble! Off we ran to find a place to hid. In our wooded yard it was not hard for two small children to find safety. Together, we hid behind a tree and did not move. Soon we heard the frightened voices of Mom and our neighbors calling out to us.The sun set and it began to get dark. Those around us became more anxious, and we became more frightened. However, we still didnt move.As we clung (紧紧拥抱) together in the dark, we became aware of yet another voice, on
