AYou are standing in the kitchen and a voice says, "Add a little more salt to that soup." Yes, it's always nice to let someone help you when you're cooking. But this voice is not from a man. You are alone! Then where does it come from? Is it from a ghost? No, this isn't a ghost kitchen-it's the kitchen of the future.Scientists are working to improve everything in the kitchen, from fridges to tables, and even the ways we cook. They are making a system. It will help a person cook a meal. You don't need cookbooks. You can hear how to cook food.The fridge of the smart kitchen has a scanner. It looks at the foods in the fridge. It will ordermore milk from the store when your milk has gone bad or there is no more in the fridge. The gloves will test the temperature of everything they touch and say, "Need to cook longer" or "Hot and ready to eat". If you leave them on the stove by mistake, they'll say, "Fire!" Even the knives and spoons will speak. For example, if your food is bad, the knives and spoons will tell you not to eat it.The future kitchen may look wonderful, but it's not cheap. The multimedia fridge costs about 8, 000 dollars. So even though high-tech kitchens are no longer a dream, not everyone has so much money.26.

This time, which took place several years ago, but seems as if it just happened.One afternoon several years ago, my brother-in-law opened the bottom drawer of my sister's dress and picked out a beautiful skirt: "Jane bought this the first time we went to New York, at least 8 or 9 years ago, She never wore it. She was saving it for a special occasion." he said. I guess this was the occasion: it was the funeral of my sister, after her unexpected death.He took the skirt and put it on the bed, with the other clothes we were taking to the funeral. Then he closed the drawer and turned to me, "Don't ever save anything for a special occasion. Every day you're alive is a special occasion."I'm thinking about his words, and they've changed the way l live my life. I'm spending more time with my family and friends and less time in committee meetings. Whenever possible, life should be a kind of experience to enjoy, not to suffer. "Someday" and "one of these days" are losing their importance on my vocabulary. If it's worth seeing or hearing or doing, I want to seeand hear and do it now.Ever since that day, I have been trying very hard not to put off, hold back or save anything that would add laughter and color to our lives. Every morning when I open my eyes, I tell myself that every day, every minute, every breath, truly is a gift. So cherish every day and find the true meaning of your life.29.

Scientists have found that dogs are the only animals that can read emotions(情感)in faces much like humans. The finding suggests that like an understanding friend, dogs can see if we are happy, sad, pleased or angry.When humans look at a new face, their eyes usually look across the left, falling on the right hand side of the person's face first. A possible reason for this is that the right side of the human face is better at expressing emotions.Scientists have now shown that pet dogs also have "left gaze b/as(左视偏好)", but only when looking at human faces. No other animal has been known to do like this before. Dr. Kun Guo showed 17 dogs pictures of human, dog and monkey faces as well as something else with his team. The dogs' eyes and heads show a strong left gaze bias when the animals see humanfaces. But this did not happen when they were shown other pictures, including those of dogs.Guo suggests that over thousands of years living with humans, dogs may have developed the left gaze bias as a way to guess our emotions."Recent studies show that the right side of our faces can express emotions better than the left. If true, then it makes sense for dogs and humans to see the right hand side of a face first."33. Dog's left gaze bias happens when they look at _A. dogsB. monkeysC. humansD. pictures34. Why are dogs seen as man's best friend according to the passage?A. Because dogs are the closest animals to humans.B. Because dogs can read the emotions in humans' faces easily.C. Because dogs can understand us better when we feel sad.D. Because dogs are good at expressing emotions.35. The dogs' left gaze bias helps them_______.A. get along well with humansB. express emotions quicklyC. have more understanding friendsD. remember more new faces36. The passage mainly wants to tell us that .A. dogs have been man's best friends for thousands of yearsB. humans have a "left gaze bias"C. the "left gaze bias" works on dogsD. dogs can read emotions the same as humansDWhy do you study? Many students would simply reply: "To get good result in the college entrance examination(高考)." For several years, many have spoken out against the exams. Some say they have turned children into studying machines. Others think that one exam cannot possibly demonstrate a student's true level of knowledge. So, should the exams be canceled?Minister of Education Yuan Guiren doesn't think so. "Officials and the rich might take advantage if the college entrance examination were called off. And life would be more difficult for poor children. However, we do need to change the exams, " Yuan said on March 7. He has put an exam reforms at the center of his fourth year in office. "I think the exam is a fair way to choose talented people. But it should pay more attention to all-around personal qualities, not just grades, " said Cui Shangyu, a Senior 3 student in Sichuan.
