Stand in a very large, empty hall with nothing on the walls. Th en shout. The sounds you make will hit the walls and come back to you. The walls reflect the sounds. Th ese reflected sounds are called “echoes”.We can use reflected sound to make sound travel farther. Hold a watch about fifty centimeters from your ear. You cannot hear it. The sound of the watch travels a short way in all directions. It does not tra vel as far as your ear. You can make it travel to your ear by using a roll of cardboard(纸板筒).Make the roll of cardboard about fifty centimeters long. Put one end over your ear and hold the w atch at the other. Now you can hear the watch because the sound has not gone in all directions. It is refle cted down the roll to your ear.A megaphone(喇叭筒)works in the same way. It makes sound travel farther. It reflects the sound int o a beam which can travel a long way. In the ship, the sailor uses the megaphone to make his voice trave l. Without the megaphone, his voice cannot travel far.We use reflected sound in many ways. We use it to measure the depth of the sea, for example. A mong the animals, bats and whales use reflected sound to tell them where they are and what things are ne ar them.31. What is called “echo”?A. V ery loud voices.B. Very loud voices that are made by man.C. Very loud voices that are made by animals.D. The sound that is made by man or animals comes back from some place.32. Which is the right order of hearing our echo in a very large, empty hall?a. We hear the reflected soundb. The sound returns to usc. The sound hits the wallsd. We make a soundA .c, b, a, d B. c, a, b, d C. d, c, b, a D. d, b, c, a33. From the text we learn that __________ .A. reflected sound is useful only to blind peopleB. people haven’t made use of reflected sound yetC. bats use reflected sound to fly and get foodD. whales don’t use reflected sound as they live in the sea34.If you haven’t got a megaphone, ____ wi ll help you to make your voice travel farther.A. a long piece of woodB. a roll of cardboardC. a thin threadD. a long piece of silkB“Life is speeding up. Everyone is getting unwell.”This may sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unknown person who lived i n Rome in 53 AD wrote it.We all love new inventions. They are exciting, amazing and can even change our lives. But have all these developments really improved the quality of our lives?Picture this. You’re rushing to finish your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone rings, a QQ message from your friend appears on the screen, the noise from the television is getting louder and louder. Suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your work. Now you have to stay up all night to get it done. How happy do you feel?Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave up feeling stressed (重压) and tire d. Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have no telephones, no car, not eve n any electricity often seem to be happier? Perhaps because they live simpler lives.One family in the UK went “back in time” to see what lif e was like without all the inventions we ha ve today. The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons Benjamin, 10 and Thomans, 7, spent nine w eeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machine, microwave, computer or mobile phones.The grandmother, Ly n, said, “The more things you have, the more difficult life becomes.” The boys sai d they fought less. Probably, they said, because there was less to fight over, such as their computer. Benjamin also noticed that his grandmother had changed from being a trendy (时髦的), beer-drinking granny, to one who cooked things.35. The writer uses the quote (引证) at the beginning of the story to _______.A. tell us a truth about our liveB. tell us what life was like long time agoC. point out what causes such a thing to happenD. point out that you experience some big problems and they may be the same36.
