A 22-year-old British student has invented a mobile fridge that could save millions of lives across the world. Will Broadway?s “Isobar” has been designed to keep vaccines(疫苗) at the ideal temperature while they are being sent in developing countries. And will doesn?t plan to make money from his creation. His purpose is to get vaccines to people who need them, which is why he won?t be trying to get a patent(专利). Will?s Isobar has won him the James Dyson Award that challenges young people to “design something that solves a problem”. Present methods of transporting vaccines can lead to the vaccines freezing(冻住) before reaching their places in developing countries, but the Isobar keeps a temperature of 2 to 8 degrees for 30 days. Will?s invention is expected to save the lives of 1.5 million people across the world, a number he says is “amazing”. Having now finished college education, he is making an effort to take the Isobar into production. “I would be hands-on, all the way through it, knowing that it works, ” he says, “It?s amazing to just give it a go, even in my back yard, and see the potential(潜能) of the technology.” The product has been designed to transport vaccines, but already Will sees the possibility for other medical uses in the developing world and beyond. “Blood donations, organ transplants(器官移植)-if they get trapped in traffic, you still use cold-bags that really aren?t good enough for a long time,” he says.

There is also a possible, non-medical use for the Isobar. “It would be a great thing to take on a five-day trip where you have no power,” he says. But he insists vaccine transportation is the primary function(功能) of his invention..
26. What?s the advantage of the Isobar for sending vaccines in developing countries? A. It can save more energy. B. It can send more vaccines at a time. C. It can keep vaccines in an ideal condition. D. It can transport vaccines at a faster speed.
27. The James Dyson Award is present to _____________. A. old scientists who have developed modern technology.
B. young men who have solved problems with their designs
C. doctors who have saved people?s lives in developing countries D. college students who have got patents for their creative inventions 28. What is the passage mainly about? A. The production of a new fridge and its future. B. The invention of a new fridge and its inventor. C. The transportation of vaccines and its problem. D. The introduction of an award and its new winner.

I was bullied quite badly in high school. A kid would try to make me feel terrible in every way he knew. For example, he would hit me in the head, call me ugly and stupid, make fun of me and – of course-threaten to hit me harder if I ever fought back. It was like his daily task. And it was my daily task to just get through the day. What can I say? It made my world very small because that was my main focus-just surviving. Everything else fell by the wayside. Unluckily, that included any form of social life. So not only was my world tiny, it was lonely. Looking back to that time-which was about 11 years ago-my biggest mistake was not bringing anyone in to that world of mine. I was too proud, and embarrassed(尴尬的), to get help. I would rather not face the fact that I needed help because in my mind, that would mean that the bully won. It would also mean that the bully won. It would also mean that I was weak. Let me just say this-bullying someone is a weak choice. The only reason they come after you is because they think you won?t do anything about it. Does that make anyone strong? No. Be stronger-reach out to a parent, a teacher or a friend. Admit(承认) you need help. You can put it like this: Somebody who is trying to make himself or herself seem important has bullied me. Why? Simply because I am nice and I haven?t done anything about it yet. Well, I hate this. I have basic human rights. It is just not OK. How do I manage this the right way? I don?t want the pain cycle to continue and I don?t want to become someone I don?t want to be. I will close by saying this-I am OK! I am not just surviving. I am enjoying my life. I graduated from college with good grades, by the way(being stupid was a lie…it is all a lie). You don?t have to wait to live. Do something today.
29. The underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refers to(指) __________.
A. getting along with the writer B. having a difficult time at school C. making friends with other students D. hurting the writer with force and threat 30. The writer suggests _________ to fight bullies. A. getting used to the pain as soon as possible B. looking for help from parents, teachers and friends C. increasing the understanding of basic human rights D. keeping it a secret inside and reducing your social life 31. The writer writes the passage mainly to ___________. A. share his thoughts on dealing with bullies B. say that he regrets being hurt badly at school C. describe how he changed his weak personality
D. show how thankful he was to those who helped him

Imagine you are walking through the woods and you see a small dog. It looks cute and friendly. You move up to pet the dog. Suddenly it barks and tries to bite you. The dog no longer seems cute and you feel afraid and possibly angry. Then, as the wind blows, the leaves on the ground are carried away and you see the dog has one of

its legs caught in a trap. Now, you take pity on the dog. You know it becomes unfriendly because it is in pain.
We all judge(评判) others all the time. It might be over small things, like a workmate who takes too long of a lunch break. Or it might be over bigger matters, such as a person who behaves selfishly or hurts our feelings. There are many reasons why we judge others. It is human nature to find a way to survive. When we see a dog(or a person) that might bite us, of course we feel threatened(威胁). We become nervous, want to fight back and are unable to see the possible reasons for another?s behavior.
Although judgment is a natural reaction(反应), try to catch yourself before you speak, for you can?t get your words back. Make a short stop. Try to change your thought into a positive(正面的) one. After all, like that dog in the trap, we really don?t know the reasons for someone?s behavior.
When someone disagrees with us or somehow makes our life difficult, remember that it?s usually not about us. It may be about their pain or struggle(挣扎). Why not give others the right to express their doubt? “Never underestimate the pain of a person,” Will Smith said, “because in all honesty, everyone is struggling. Some people are better at hiding it than others”
32. The writers talks about the dog in the first paragraph mainly to __________. A. give an example B. make a comparison C. share a good story D. set the background 33. According to the writer, we usually judge others__________. A. over big matters instead of small ones B. after thinking carefully about their situation C. about the real reasons behind their behavior
D. for our own survival when feeling threatened
34. What does the underlined sentence ”Never underestimate the pain of a person” mean? A. Never believe others have pain. B. Never pay attention to others? pain. C. Never think others? pain is bigger than it really is. D. Never think others? pain is smaller than it really is. 35. What is the best title of the passage? A. The Best Way to Judge B. Too Late to Judge C. Think Twice Before You Judge D. You?ve Got a Reason to Judge 四、任务型阅读
British people pride themselves on their polite manners towards one another in public. They often use the word ?sorry?—even when they don?t really mean it! Usually, if they want to ask a stranger for the time, they would start by saying ?Sorry to bother you. Do you know what time it is?? If they?re five minutes late for an appointment (约会), they would generally greet the person by saying ?Sorry I?m late!?
They use the word ?sorry? in so many different situations that the meaning of the word has changed a little over time. The two main dictionary definitions (释义) of ?sorry? are: 1) feeling sad for someone else because of their problems or bad luck; 2) feeling regret because you?ve done something wrong. Now, think about this. Normally, when they want to ask a stranger a question, they start with ?Sorry to bother you?. In this situation, they aren?t saying sorry because they feel sad for that person or because they feel regret.
So what does ?sorry? really mean? And why do British people use it so much? Well, in the British culture, saying ?sorry? is a way to be polite, especially to people who they don?t know very well. It?s also a very clever way to get what they want. In a recent experiment, an actor went up to a different strangers on a rainy day to ask if he could use their mobile phones in order to make a call. When he went up to one group of strangers and asked them without saying ?sorry? first, he was only 9 per cent successful in borrowing their phones. However, when he said ?sorry? to another group of strangers about the bad weather before asking if he could use their mobile phones, he was 47 per cent successful. So maybe saying ?sorry? is not just being polite, but it is also a good method to get what they want too!
