When my friend Maxie says “Have a nice day” with a smile，I know she sincerely cares about what happ
17、ens to me. I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.“Have a nice day. Next！” This version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words come out in the same tone (腔调 ) with a fixed proced
18、ure.They_are_spoken_at_me，not_to_me. Obviously，the concern for my day and everyone elses is the managements attempt to increase business.The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it，you know t
19、he meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we dont know what to say， “Oh，you just had a tooth out? Im terribly sorry，but have a nice day.”The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says “Have a nice day” to you，you may find it heart-warming because someone you dont know has t
20、ried to be nice to you.Although the use of the expression is an insincere，meaningless social custom at times，there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninte-resting. The salesgirl，the waitress，the teacher，and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not r
21、eally care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way，its nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really dont care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere，it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.1 How does the

25、nergy. Scientists say they have developed an experimental device that produces electricity from the physical movement of a person walking. British scientist Max Donelan and other scientists in Canada and the United States developed the device.The device connects to a persons knee. As the person walk
26、s, the device captures energy each time the person slows down. To do this, the device helps with the slowing down movement of the leg. The movements of the walking person push parts of a small machine that produces electricity. Using the device, an adult walking quickly could produce thirteen watts
27、of electricity in just a minute. Donelan says walking at that speed could produce enough power to operate a laptop computer for six minutes.There are several possible uses for the device. Developers say it could help people who work in areas without electricity to operate small computers. The device
28、 could also be used in hospitals to operate heart pacemakers (起搏器). It could even be used to assist in the movement of robotic arms and legs.The experimental version of the device weighs about one and a half kilograms, but it is too costly for most people to buy. But the researchers hope to make a l
29、ighter, less costly version. An improved version should be ready in one year. The developers hope the device will one day help developing countries. Nearly twenty-five percent of people around the world live without electric power. A similar product was invented in 2005 by Larry Rome of the Universi
30、ty of Pennsylvania. He created a bag carried on a persons back that also produces power from walking. The knee device does not produce as much electricity as the bag. But the bag requires the walker to carry a load of twenty to thirty kilograms.1. The second paragraph mainly talks about _.A. who dev
31、eloped the device B. how the device works C. several possible uses for the devices D. how much electricity the device can produce2. What is the disadvantage of the experimental version of the device?A. It is too heavy for the walker to bear.B. It is too complex for people to use.C. It will slow down
32、 ones walking speed.D. It is too dear for most people to afford.3. Compared with the device designed by Larry Rome, this new device _.A. produces power without adding more loads to the walkerB. can produce more power in a much shorter timeC. needs to be equipped with a batteryD. can help the walker
33、walk faster4. From the passage, we can learn that the electrical device can _.A. help housewives operate the micro-wave ovenB. make it much easier for us to go onlineC. produce more electricity than that invented by Larry RomeD. be applied in medicine to operate heart pacemakers5. What would be the
34、best title for the passage?A. First device powered by walking will soon be on the marketB. Advanced technology brings in a new way to operate heart pacemakersC. Device gives new meaning to the idea of power walkingD. Human energy will become a main source of electricity DLeymah Gbowee, ever awarded
35、the Nobel Peace Prize, dreamed of peace and made it happen, founding a movement of women who brought peace and a female president to Liberia.On the night of her high school graduation party, surrounded by family, neighbors, and friends, Leymah Gbowee imagined a bright future. She planned to study bi
36、ology and chemistry in college and become a pediatrician. Instead, Gbowee writes in her autobiography, Mighty Be Our Powers, within six months of that party in 1989, everything around her was gone her country torn apart by civil war, her family broken, her plans abandoned. And Gbowee never became a
37、doctor. Gbowee saw civilians murdered before her eyes. She fled with relatives from one shelter to another, often went hungry. Upon returning to Liberia in 1991, she saw a terrible sight: everyone had fled, leaving their homes to the fighters.Yet her spirit wouldnt die. She began studying under a UN
38、ICEF program. Finally, with her familys help, she imagined a movement of women demanding peace in Liberia and made it happen. Traveling from village to village, Gbowee began organizing women and persuaded women of different cultures to unite; under her leadership, thousands of women were dressed all
39、 in white to symbolize peace. Gbowee writes：“We were silent before, but after so many of us have been killed, fallen with diseases, and lost our children and families, war has taught us that the future lies in saying no to violence and yes to peace！”The women had reason to fear, but Gbowee had no ch
40、oice. Then women could register to vote. Ellen Johnson Sirleaf became Africas first female president in 2005. Gbowees work was just beginning. She now travels the world, meeting with everyone from presidents to CEOs to people living in tiny villages, fighting for women and girls.1.Leymah Gbowee was
