An 11-year-old blind girl is proud of walking alone every day to and from school. Why? She has to walk past so many barriers (障碍物) in her way. The girl's home is near the school, yet her mother follows her without letting her know.

The case of the girl shows the barrier-free(障碍物) facilities (设施) are not enough in her city. Many other cities are short of barrier-free facilities as well. There's no well-designed path for the blind. In fact. in the early 2000s, some cities started to build barrier-free facilities for disabled people. However, almost 20 years later, only a few large cities have had facilities of high quality.

It's common that sidewalks are taken up with barriers. Few workers are sent to move them away, so it's dangerous for the blind to walk on them. Also, some other barrier-free facilities are badly destroyed(毁坏). Only a few workers are assigned (分配) to do the task of repairing the broken ones.

Some ideas can make a difference — build more barrier-free facilities, employ(雇用) more of workers and require money. In a word, more money is needed to carry on with the work. It’s our duty to make life easy for disabled people, so that they can live without barriers some day.

    Australia is a country of immigrants(移民). Around 50 percent of students in Melbourne come from other countries. Therefore, we read many articles about foreigners’ lives in Australia. Teachers ask us to find our own identity (身份) from these articles. In the course English as an Additional Language, we read a picture book called Tales from Outer Suburbia by an Australian writer Shaun Tan.

The book has lots of short stories. Among them, I like Inner Courtyard(内庭,内院) best. It is about an Italian family. They moved to Australia, but they couldn’t fit into the new environment and complained a lot. However, one day they found an inner courtyard by accident. The things in it were from their home country. Then the secret courtyard became a little paradise (天堂) for them. They relaxed, played games and had a picnic there.

As an international student, I totally understand the value(价值) of the inner courtyard for every family, especially an immigrant family. I face the same problems when I study and live in Melbourne. Everything is different, including language and habit, and I have to fit into all of it. It’s so painful that sometimes I miss China very much. That’s why we need the inner courtyard to have a rest and escape from reality (现实) for a while. For me, it’s my bedroom. I decorate it with postcards of China and Chinese books. I collect some Australian souvenirs (纪念品), which make my inner courtyard colorful.

1.How many students in Melbourne come from other countries?     __________________________________

2.Who is Tales from Outer Suburbia written by?                 __________________________________

3.What is Inner Courtyard about?                             __________________________________

4.Which country does the writer of the passage come from?        __________________________________

5.For the writer of the passage, which room is his inner courtyard?   __________________________________

Recent development has made possible machines that print, cook, and serve a large number of foods. And the industry(产业) isn’t stopping there.

Food production

With a 3D printer, a cook can print complicated(复杂的) chocolate sculptures and beautiful pieces for decoration on a wedding cake. Not everybody can do that — it takes years of experience, but a printer makes it easy. A restaurant in Spain uses a Food printer to “re-create forms and pieces” of food that are “exactly the same,” freeing cooks to finish other tasks. In another restaurant, all of the dishes and desserts it serves are 3D-printed, rather than farm to table.

Sustainability(可持续性)

The world’s population(人口) is expected to grow to 9.6 billion by 2050, and some experts estimate (估计) that food production will need to be raised by 50 percent to keep present levels(水平). Sustainability is becoming a necessity. 3D food printing could probably help solve the problem. Some experts believe printers could use hydrocolloids (水解胶体) from rich renewable materials(原料) like algae and grass to replace(代替) the ingredients(烹饪原料). 3D printing can reduce fuel use and emissions(排放). The stores of the future might store "food" that lasts for years, freeing up shelf space and reducing transportation and storage requirements.

Nutrition(营养)

Future 3D food printers could make food healthier. Hod Lipson, a professor at Columbia University, said, “Food printing could allow customers(消费者) to print food with customized(定制的) nutritional content, like vitamins. So instead of eating a piece of yesterday’s bread from the supermarket, you’d eat something baked just for you on demand(要求).”

Challenges

Though there are great developments in 3D food printing, the industry has many challenges to overcome. Most ingredients must be changed to a dry powder(粉末) before a printer can use them, and the printing process takes a lot of time, because ingredients interact (相互作用)with each other in very complex ways. Besides, most of the 3D food printers now use only dry ingredients, because meat and milk products may easily go bad. Some experts doubt about 3D food printers, believing they are more suitable for fast food restaurants than homes and high-end restaurants.

1.What advantage(好处) does 3D printing bring to food production?

A.It teaches cooks to create new dishes. B.It saves time and effort(努力) in cooking.

C.It improves the cooking conditions. D.It helps to decorate the restaurants.

2.What does the underlined word “raise” mean in paragraph 3?

A.募集 B.导致 C.培育 D.增加

3.According to Paragraph 4, 3D-printed food ________.

A.is easier for consumers to get B.can meet personal nutritional needs

C.is tastier than food in supermarkets D.can keep all the nutrition in raw(生的) materials

4.What is the main factor(因素) that prevents 3D food printing from spreading widely?

A.The printing process is not long. B.3D food printers are too expensive.

C.Food materials have to be dry. D.Some experts doubt 3D food printing.

5.What could be the best title of the passage?

A.3D Food Printing: Delicious New Technology B.A New Way to Improve 3D Food Printing

C.The Challenges for 3D Food Production D.3D Food Printing: From Farm to Table

We are often told to pay attention to what our mothers tell us. Most of us enjoy listening to our mothers speak. Scientists have found that compared(和……相比较) to other people's voices, our brains greatly prefer the voices of our own mothers.

Scientists at Stanford University, US, recently studied this. They scanned children's brains while they were listening to different sounds, including their mothers' voices. They found that 97 percent of the time, children could recognize(认出) their mothers' voices at once.

Hearing their mothers' voices makes children's brains more active. We usually just use one part of our brain to deal with sounds when we hear something. But when we hear our mothers' voices, many parts of the brain, including those in charge of(负责) reward(奖赏) and emotion(情感), start to work as well.

Why do we respond(作出反应) so strongly to our mothers' voices? It starts even before we're born. When children are still in the womb(子宫) or have just been born, they hear their mothers talking. This makes babies feel comfortable and teaches them language and social skills, even though they are still very young. The babies learn to recognize their mothers' voices as rewarding(奖励性的) sound. Later, when this sound is heard again, more attention is paid to it.

    Some sounds are necessary for our survival(生存) or bring us pleasure. These sounds are recognized by our brains as rewarding sounds. Most human voices are not recognized in this way, since we hear them so often. But mothers' voices are different. They bring us a lot of comfort.

1.What is the story mainly about?

A.Why we should listen carefully to our mothers. B.Why we prefer to hear our mothers’ voices.

C.How we recognize our mothers voices. D.How we respond to different kinds of sounds.

2.What will happen when children hear their mothers’ voices?

A.Many parts of their brains become active. B.They will need time to recognize the voices.

C.Their language skills start to improve. D.They will remember some bedtime stories.

3.According to Paragraph 4, why do children pay more attention to their mothers voices?

A.Because they can recognize their voices quickly.

B.Because their voices make them more comfortable.

C.Because they can get a reward for doing so.

D.Because they can get love from their mothers.

4.When can we respond to our mothers’ voices?

A.When we’re born. B.Before we’re born. C.When we grow up. D.When we’re young.

5.Where can we read the passage?

A.In a history book. B.In a fashion magazine. C.In a science magazine. D.In a morning newspaper.
