A
New York is one of the last large American cities to have some of its policemen on horseback. The New York police have 170 horses working in certain parts of the city. The horses are expensive to feed,but it is even more expensive to look after them. Because the horses must walk on the streets,they need special horseshoes. In fact,they need more than 8,000 of them each year. Every police horse in New York gets new shoes every month. Keeping these shoes in good repair is the job of six blacksmiths. There are only about thirty-five of th ese blacksmiths in the whole United States.
The cost of shoing a horse is between twenty dollars and thirty-five dollars,and it takes a good blacksmith two or three hours to do the job.
A blacksmith's job is not an easy one. He must be able to shape a shoe from a piece of metal and then fit it to the horse's foot. The blacksmith must bend over all the time when he is fitting the shoe and must hold the weight of the horse's leg while he works. Clearly,a blacksmith must be very storng. But even more important,he must be able to deal with horses——for before the blacksmith can begin his work,he has to get the horse to lift its leg.
One of the blacksmiths in New York is James Corbin. He came to the country from Ireland in 1948. He not only makes horseshoes for the police but also works for a group of horse owners near the city. Corbin became interested in blacksmithing because his father did it,and，as the puts it,"It's a good way to make a living.” ( )56.

Imagine the situation. You are driving along a desert or on a mountain.
You have no idea where you are. You passed the last house two hours ago. Then your car breaks down. It is night and it is cold. You have no mobile phone. What do you do? Well, next time take a GPS with you. This invention may be able to help you. It is a device(装置) which uses satellites (卫星) to find the user’s position(位置). It can find your position to within 20 metres. A GPS cannot start your car, but at least you will know where you are.
GPS, which means Global Positioning System, is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile phone. You can hold it in your hand, or put in your pocket.
It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone. We also find GPS devices in cars, planes, or boats. Some of these devices have electronic maps, so you know where you are. For example, in a city they can tell you the name of the street.
There are th ree parts to the Global Positioning System. The first part is the receiver. You can hold it in your hand, or have it fixed into your car, pla ne, etc. The second part is a group of satellites orbiting the Earth. The receiver contacts at least four of the satellites and calculates(计算) its position. The third part of the system is a network of ground stations. They are all over the world. They control the satellites and make sure they are working well.
Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile.
They are becoming cheaper and more and more accurate(精确的). There are also new uses for the GPS. Perhaps they will become like watches. Everyone will have one and you will never be lost again.
( )61. According to the passage, with the help of the GPS, people __________.
A. can’t be lost in a new city
B. can’t find their way in different countries
C. can learn about the culture of an unknown place
D. can spend the least time getting to another place

B. a GPS can’t be put into a watch
C. a GPS can help you start your car
D. the GPS are becoming more and more expensive
( )63. The u nderlined word “They” in paragraph 3 means “____________”.
A. Receivers
B. GPS devices
C. Satellites
D. Ground
stations
( )64. The passage is mainly about _______________.
A. the history of the GPS
B. the introduction of the GPS
C. the shape of the GPS
D. the three parts of the GPS ( )65. What can we infer(推断) from the passage?
A. All GPS devices have electronic maps.
B. People in many countries will use the GPS for free.
C. The receiver of the GPS contacts at least five of the satellites.
D. The GPS will become more and more common in everyday life.

They lea rned how to live in harmony with those around them. So they decided to work together, using both the shade and the water to grow well. After seeing how well they were doing, the gardener gave the best care to the vegetable patch, watering and fertilizing (施肥) it better than any other patch for miles around.

Give water, save lives
A bottle of water may not seem like much to you, but thousands of bottles
will be of great help for people who live in drought-hit(遭受旱灾) areas in China.
Since last autumn, there has been very little rain in Southwest China. Some
places, especially in Yunnan . Guangxi, Sichuan, Guizhou, have experienced a serious
drought. Crops (庄稼) died, the land cracked, and wells (井) and rivers dried up.
More than 20 million people are having difficulty in finding safe drinking water.
After learning about the drought, many people around the country helped by
giving water, money and other things.
Last week, every member of the Communist Youth League (共青团员) and Young
Pioneers(少先队员) were encouraged to give one bottle of water to the drought-hit
areas. Students in primary schools and middle schools quickly joined the activity.
In Yuhua Primary School in Xi' an, 900 students bought over 1,000 bottles of water
with their pocket money. They also wrote their wishes on the bottles.
The serious drought has also made students realize the importance of saving
water.
Students from Nanshan Middle School in Huizhou in Guangdong went on the
street to tell people to take part in water-saving activities.
“I've heard that some children in drought-hit areas don' t have enough
drinking water. They have to drink muddy ( 含有泥土的 ) water. I feel really sad
about that," said one student. “I decide to take a show er twice a week instead of
every day to save water.” he said.
