AA couple near Pittsburgh finally removed an alarm clock from inside their walls. It had been stuck there for more than ten years.Every night between 6:50 and 7:50,the alarm clock stuck in the living room wall rang. Sylvia and Jerry Lynn heard the alarm ring at the same time every evening for 13 years. And they finally had the clock removed after their story gained national attention.Keith Andreen and Dawn Michelucci work for Low-Cost Heating and Air Conditioning. They came to get the clock out of the wall through the couple’s garage.“This is the first time that I had to remove a clock from inside a wall,” Andreen told CBS Pittsburgh.Jerry accidentally dropped the clock down an air vent (通风口)while making home repairs in 2004. The couple expected the clock to die after a few months. However, its battery remained undamaged even as it was pulled from the wall. Jerry said they finally got used to the nightly alarm and even considered it “kind of cute”. So he chose to leave it in the wall as a conversation starter. “You’re sitting around playing cards and it goes off,” he told Inside Edition. “Is that an alarm clock? Why is the alarm clock going off? It’s in the wall.”After 13 years, Jerry said the clock looked almost exactly how he remembered it when he dropped it in the wall. “It is a travel alarm clock,” he said.

The autumnn colours are also amazing. It is quiet at tourist attractions for most of the month, as the summer holiday travel crowds have gone. But try to avoid October 1st -7th, which is the Chinese National Day holiday, as attractions, transport and hotels are packed with Chinese tourists and prices go up a lot.Late Spring (April to May)Things to do: appreciate flowers, Li River cruise, ethnic festivalsPlaces to visit: Beijing, Xi’an, Guilin, Huangshan, GuiZhou, ZhangjiajieThe second-best time to travel to China is probably in April and May, when the flowers are in bloom and the temperatures are warming up. In late spring, temperatures across China are getting into the 20s (℃), except the extreme northwest and northeast. While the North of China is still dry, the summer rains have already begun in the South. This could actually improve the view in the form of mountain fog in mountainous areas like the Li River and the Yellow Mountains.Ethnic festivals in GuiZhou are concentrated in April and May, such as the Sisters’Meal Festival. If you are interested in Miao and Dong ethnic cultures, this is a good time to visit.Travel prices are average: cheaper than June to October, but more expensive than the lower season from November to March.25. Which time is best if you want to attend the ethnic festivals in GuiZhou?A . April 25th. B. June 17th. C. October 1st. D. November 9th.26. Which are the best places to visit in both October and late spring?A. Beijing and Zhangjiajie.B. Shanghai and GuiZhou.C. Xi’an and Guilin.D. Huangshan and Jiuzhaigou.27. Why is late spring the best time to visit Huangshan?A. Because the summer rains haven’t come yet.B. Because the wet weather adds to its beauty.C. Because there are several special festivals there.D. Because the prices are the lowest of the year.CHave you ever lost your temper? Did you yell and scream or want to hit someone? If so, you are angry.Everyone gets angry. Maybe you “lose your coo l”or “hit the roof.”Anger can even be a good thing. When kids are treated unfairly, anger can help them stand up for themselves. The hard part is learning what to do with these strong feelings.Don’t lose control if you get angry. Taking it out on others never solves anything. Instead, admit to yourself that you are angry and try to figure out why. What can you do to keep the situation from happening again?It helps to talk about your anger with an adult, such as a parent, teacher, or relative. Once you talk about anger, those bad feelings usually start to go away.Here are some other things you can do when you start to feel angry.talk to a friend you can trustcount to 10get or give a hugdo jumping jacks or another exercisedraw a picture of your angerplay a video gamerun around the outside of the house five times as fast as you cansing along with the stereopull weeds in the gardenthink good thoughts (maybe about a fun vacation or your favorite sport )take a bike ride, go skateboarding, play basketball —do something active!Never getting angry is impossible. Instead, remember that how you act when you are angry can make the situation better or worse. Don’t let anger be the boss of you. Take charge of it!28.

A medical research paper says cancer was once thought of as a problem mostly in the developed world. But now cancer is a leading cause of death and disability in poor countries aswell. Experts from Harvard University and other organizations urge the international community to fight cancer actively, saying it should be fought in the way HIV/AIDS has been fought in Africa.Cancer kills more than 7.5 million people a year worldwide. Almost two thirds are in low-income and middle-income countries.They discover cancer kills more people in developing countries than AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria combined. But the world spends only 5﹪of its cancer resources in those countries.Felicia Knaul from Harvard Medical School was one of the writers of the paper. She was in Mexico when she was found to have breast cancer. She received treatment there and her experience showed her the sharp difference between the rich and the poor in treating breast cancer.Felicia Knaul says, “ And we are seeing how this is attacking young women. It’s the number two cause of death in Mexico of women thirty to fifty-four. All over the developing world, it’s the number one cancer-related death among young women. I think we have to again say that there is much more we could do about it than we are doing about it. ”Professor Knaul met community health workers during her work in developing countries. They were an important part of efforts to reduce deaths from the cancer. They were able to persuade people to get tested to prevent the illness. The experts say cancer care does not have to be costly. For example, patients can be treated with lower-cost drugs.32. Felicia Knaul’s experience in Mexico shows that_____________.A. many Mexico women suffer from breast cancerB. patients with breast cancer are treated differentlyC. there is not enough medicine for cancer thereD. many Mexico women can’t afford medical care33.

Who plays an important part in preventing the cancer in developing countries?A.The cancer patientsB. The health expertsC. Young womenD. Community health workers35. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Experts urge more efforts to fight cancer.B. Cancer—a leading cause of death in poor countries.C.
