The tools helped Dave, now 80, repair his home in St. Paul, Minnesota, where he and his wife, Annette Merry, lived for 46 years and raised three children. The table saw, the jointer plane, the drill press, and the dozens of other power and hand tools had pride of place in his carefully organized workshop, "I had a whole setup, and it was beautiful/9 says Dave, a retired engineer.But then Annette experienced a stroke（中风）that left her relying on a walker to get around, and the Merrys decided to move into assisted living. Dave's workshop was obviously a minor consideration given Annette's condition, but the family knew that giving it up, on top of everything else, would hurt.It was the Merrys, daughter who came up with a possible solution. She'd heard about some people who were setting up a tool librarya nonprofit facility that would lend out tools just as a regular library lends books. Might Dad be interested in donating his?“I said yes J Dave says.The people creating the St. Paul Tool Library were thrilled. They had expected it would take a year to collect enough tools to make their facility fully functional. Instead it took one day: the day Dave donated his.The library's founders drove over to the Merrys5 house and picked everything up themselves. The library is housed in the basement of the American Can Factory. Members pay an annual fee (from $20 to $120) for unlimited tool use and a varying number of visits to the workshop. And they get an extra benefit: Dave Merry. "Almost every time we're open, Dave's here J says one of the founders, Peter Hoh. "It means a lot to me to be able to go and use my tools,“ Dave says.

Believe it or not, the dim lighting could actually help save your life in case of a plane emergency.The dimmed lights before taking off the runway and landing are a flight precaution used to help passengers9 eyes adjust quicker during an emergency escape. "Going from a brightly lit environment to one that's completely dark would require some time for our eyes to focus and see the escape slide J Alice Theriault, service director for Air Canada wrote in a press statement. “Since we need to have all the seconds on our side in the event of an emergency, dimming the lights is one of many steps we take to ensure the safety of our customers.The phenomenon that your eyes see those strange speckles （小斑点）as your sight adjusts to a dark place after being in a light place is called dark adaptation. It normally takes our eyes about 20 to 30 seconds to see best in a dark room. The brighter the lights, the longer it takes for our eyes to adjust, which is why dimming the plane lights could shorten your "dark adaptation” time since you haven?t been sitting under fluorescent bulbs （荧光灯）all flight.Not only does dimming lights add valuable time to the escape process, but it reduces the tension on your eyes if you need to look outside, or see the emergency lighting along the passage. "It helps keep you in the right direction.Patrick Smith, an airline pilot and author of Cockpit Confidential told The Telegraph. uIt also makes it easier fbr flight attendants to assess any outside risks, such as fire or debris, that might affect an escape., So next time a pilot dims the lights, just know it's fbr your safety, even though it creates a gentle atmosphere for your takeoff into the sky.1、The lights are turned down before takeoff to help passengers.A. escape in time of emergencyB , take a short breakC. create a comfortable atmosphereD. enjoy themselves2、Which of the following is True according to Paragragh 2 and 3?A. Dimming lights is required when accidents happen.B. Our eyes need some time to adapt to the change of light.C. Speckles are caused by the use of dimmed lights.D. It is required for pilots to turn off lights during the flight.3、What is the function of shortening “dark adaptation" time?A. Slowing down the landing.B , Adjusting the plane lights.C. Keeping passengers calm.D. Helping the crew judge outside risks.4、What is the text mainly about?A. A tip to make air travel safer.B. An emergency event happening on a plane.C. An explanation of an airline safety measure.D. A warning message from the pilot.Text 4Apple and Microsoft each launched new products. One company astonished everyone. The other made people sleepy. Can you guess which was which? You probably guessed wrong. Because Apple, famous for its creative products, was the tech giant whose new product caused a collective shrug（耸肩）.While Microsoft, which stole a move out of the Apple Playbook, won cheers from high-end, creative-class consumers like business analysts, media designers and music producers.As Hayley Tsukayama remarked at The Washington Post, the Surface Studio, one of Microsoft*s new products, is really just a super-sized version of the Surface Books product that Microsoft has been selling for years. But if you've ever watched science fiction movies like Minority reportwhere Tom Cruise seems to operate pictures and data hanging on mid-air by touching them, spreading his fingers to increase on details, and sending files and information sliding from one folder to another with a click of the fingers, you can see how Microsoft is trying to show the same experience.Meanwhile, apple's new products were almost like some fine promotions for its Apple TV. They boast（炫耀）that the new Macbook Pros has a smaller size and more functions, and a new touch screen bar on laptop keyboards where function keys used to be.So what*s going on? In many ways, Apple is focusing on attracting the average consumers who have been attracted by Microsoft. And Microsoft is focusing on targeting the high-end professionals Apple has historically been associated with. You can even see this is the companies1 ad campaigns: Microsoft's ads stress imagination and creativity, while Apple,s commercial chief performance and convenience of its Macbooks.So Apple is trying to control the world of devices and laptops from the top down, starting with the high-end market and moving on to appeal to a broader base of consumers. Microsoft, having already strengthened itself within the bigger low-end market, is now attempting the opposite with a bottom-up strategy. Will these succeed? Time will tell.1、What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. Microsofts new products made a big hit.B. Apple's products aim at high-end consumers.C. Apple and Microsoft developed the same products.D. The design of Microsoft's products is original and unique.2、Why does the author mention the science fiction movie in Paragraph 2?A. To show how trendy Microsoft's new products are.B. To tell us Microsoft*s new products can be used in movies.C. To encourage more people to see the science fiction movie.D. To show Microsoft's new products are inspired by the movie.3、What can we infer from the last two parts of the text?A. Apple is changing its focus on consumer groups from average to high-end ones.B. Microsoft is changing its focus on consumer groups from high-end to average ones.C. The two companies are adopting different business strategies from their own before.D. The two companies are facing fierce competition with each other.4、In which section of a newspaper can we most probably read this passage?A. Leisure and Entertainment.B. Economics and Business.C. Culture and Education.D. Life and Fashion.Part BDirections:Read the following text and answer the questions by choosing the most suitable subheading from the list A -G for each numbered paragraph (41 - 45).
