A computer can get very hot when it work...

A computer can get very hot when it works on a lot of programs. It can cost a lot to cool the computer. So some scientists want to know what would happen if the heat from the computer could be used.

        Large Internet companies such as Google and Microsoft have thousands of computers. As these computers deal with information they produce lots of heat so they need huge cooling systems. These systems send the heat into the air.

        A company in Holland thinks paying to make the computers work and then paying again to cool them are a waste of energy. So the company developed a special device—the e-Radiator.

        Boaz Leupe head of the company says that e-Radiator works as a heating system and saves money. He explains that the energy is used twice—once to heat the home and once to cool the computer and that the users don’t have to pay to cool their computers.

         Five homeowners in Holland are testing the heating system in their homes.

     “We pay for the computer using so in that way homeowners get heating for free.” Boaz says.

     Jan Visser is one of the homeowners. “If you use the computer more the e-Radiator producers more heat” he says “It cannot provide enough heat if you don’t use your computer often.” But he is ready to try it. It’s a great help for his family.

      The company says e-Radiators produce heat temperatures of up to 55℃. It says the system could save its users about $440 a year.

A. is sent into the air

B. helps the five homeowners

C. is used twice

D. makes the computer work better

2. The e-radiator is mainly used _____.

A. to help Microsoft

B. to provide heat

C. to heat the computer

3.How much could the system save its users a month?

A. About 20 dollars.                      B. About 440 dollars. 

C. About 36 yuan.                        D. About 36 dollars.

4. The best title of the passage may be “_____”.

A. An Environment Problem   

B. The Future Computers 

C. A New Way to Heat Homes 

D. The Energy to Be Wasted

Samantha(her husband John called her Sam)left the doctor’s house looking perfect satisfied with her appearance.

The year was 1862. It seemed that the war with the North would never come to an end. Sam’s father had left as soon as possible fighting for their land for their new government for the South.

At last Samantha reached the house that she and John owned. It was a cold rainy night and she was glad to be home. She stepped into the sitting room. John sat in an armchair reading a book. When he saw her he put the book down and stood reaching his arms out for her. They kissed briefly. He put a hand to her now slightly round belly(肚子) and asked “What did the doctor say?”

“He said the baby was fine and that I seemed healthy. Do you have any news?”

“Surprisingly yes.” John hesitated for a moment as if deciding how he would stop what he was about to say and then unwillingly continued “I’ve been required to join the army.”

Sam screamed “What?” She was near tears. “But-but we’re just starting out.” Her voice shook. “I thought that after two years of begging my mother to let the two of us get married that our life would finally be happy. Isn’t there any way you can get out of this?”

John answered “I’m afraid not.”

    “Please. Please John if you love me please get out of this. Break a leg or do something.” She began to cry. John comforted her resting her head on his shoulder.

“Sam.”

“What?”

“Name the child after me name it John or Joanna. I’ll come back as soon as I can. I promise.”

Sam smiled knowing that John never broke a promise. She put her hand to her belly and unknown to her the baby was a girl.

And unknown to both of them the promise that John had just made would be the only promise he would ever break.

As a kid I read a story of a bird. It described a male bird which takes a lot of pain to build a house and the female bird takes care of the baby in it. When the baby bird learns to fly the whole family flies off to a different place leaving behind the beautiful nest for other birds to grow their family in it. It made me confused(困惑的) How could they so easily give up their house built with so much effort?

One night I got this dream. I was walking on the endless road with beautiful trees on the either side. Attracted by the greenery I went on then I saw a wonderful house. I explored the house. There was a sloping(斜的) roof which matched with the greenery around the large central open yard reminded me of the activities that might have taken place there which felt lively even now. The small water body that kept the house cool added to the beauty of the house of course it was all dried up now. Such liveliness turns the house into a home. People say “THE HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS” and now I felt it and was attracted deeply.

When I woke up from the dream I was clear about everything. I realized what message my dream wanted to convey(传递) me. And years later when I chose my career I thought of the story of the bird and my dream then I was sure what to do. I decided to choose architecture as my career. I wanted to do the same thing that the male bird in the story did to take pain in building a beautiful house and let others stay in it. My dream comes true and the happiness that I gain now from this career is great.
