project was the Joneses: parents Paul and Eve and their two sons, Jimmy (16) and Harry (13). They have just spent two months living in a specially designed hi-tech future house, where cameras recorded everything they did. TV while you bathe
So what?s in this modern house? It boasts (夸耀) five bedrooms and five bathrooms. The sitting area has a huge TV and a digital picture frame---you can decide which photos you want to appear and change the picture as often as you like. The baths all have waterproof TV screens and DVD players. There is a remote control（遥控器） in every room which controls everything in the house from the lights to the cooker. The floors are all made of glass and all have underfloor heating. The windows clean themselves and there is even a robot called “Iron Man ” to do the ironing. Dirty washing goes into a lift which takes the clothes automatically to the washing machine. The “Iron Man” then does all the ironing.
So how did it go?
The Jones family were over the moon to be chosen to spend some time in the house. Here?s what they said:
Paul: It was great. The house was so comfortable. One day our friends called round with their dog. The dog felt so warm and comfortable; he even slept on the floor! Oh, but there was one problem. One night we were all in bed and all the lights switched themselves on for no reason. It was a bit frightening!
Jimmy:I loved it, but I wish there had been a robot to help me with my homework. Harry: Staying in was as much fun as going out!
Eve:Iloved the TV in the bath but I never watched it before going to work in the morning. If I did, I don?t
think I?d ever get out!
The Jones family are now back in their very ordinary home, but planning some hi-tech additions as soon as they can afford them!
The experts hope that results from their project will help developers meet the needs of a 21st-century family. One of the experts wrote a few sentences about his findings on this project:

I?m so glad that the day is over. I was so worried that my first day at my new school would be terrible, but it went well.
I was very nervous because my primary school only had 300 pupils but in the secondary school there are about 1,300. What a difference! I didn?t know anyone here. So now I have to try to make some new friends. My class teacher is called Mrs. Black. She is quite young and friendly. I met a boy who also didn?t know anyone. He moved here from Hong Kong over the summer. He seemed really nice so we sat together when we got to the classroom.
Everyone in the school has a different timetable. Half of the school learns Spanish as a second language and the other half learns French. I?m in the Spanish group, which sounds like fun.
After lunch we started lessons. I had maths, which was difficult and then history. We learn about ancient Greece this year. I have to do some homework tonight to find out how the ancient Greek people lived, so I?m going to do an Internet search and look it up in the library. So far so good. I?m quite looking forward to tomorrow. I?ll write to you soon. Yours Jason
D. Listen to the passage and complete the following sentences (听短文，完成下列内容。每空格限填一词): (共10分)
Ronald Dahl was a British short-story writer and poet. He was born on September 13th, 1916 in South Wales. When Dahl was young, one of his hobbies was reading.
Young Dahl first attended school in England, but he didn?t enjoy school because many teachers were very strict.When Dahl was thirteen, his family moved house and he was sent to Repton Public School. Sadly, the teachers there were even worse than those at his old school. However, there was one good thing about the school. Every few months, a chocolate company, Cadburys, sent boxes of chocolate to Repton for the students to test. This happy memory gave Dahl the idea for his most famous novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
In 1939, when the Second World War started, Dahl joined the Royal Air Force and learned to fly warplanes. Unluckily, on his first flight, the warplane ran out of fuel (燃料) and crashed in a desert. He almost died in the burning plane.
Dahl started writing in the 1940s. In 1945 he moved to America. He lived happily during the last years of his life and he wrote his best books during the period.
