Every minute，someone is setting up an Internet company
somewhere, in the world．Each one is searching for the one great idea
that could make his web company click in a big way．And they are
trying all kinds of tricks to attract people towards their websites．While
some websites offer sounds，cartoons and amazing photos on screen to
make their sites almost a movie-like experience for the viewers，others provide free downloads and competitions．
A company in California，US，has decided to offer online smells to people who visit its website．That is，if a pizza image comes on screen，your nose will catch the smell of bread and cheese！All you need to do is to connect a device（设备）called“iSmell”with your computer. This smart little device contains（包含）some chemicals that can create different kinds of smells．
The company has invented software that changes the chemical composition（成分）of different smells into digital signals(数字信号）．An onscreen image，which is programmed with the proper digital signal，will start the“iSmell" device．The device will use the software to change' the digital signal again and let go of the correct smell. This device reads the digital smell code（代码）from the website and creates the proper smell from its store of chemicals．This smell is then made to blow softly in the direction of the user with the support of a small fan．
In order to let go of the correct smell，the company has created a“Scent Registry”，which contains a digital index of thousands of smells．The company plans to allow website developers to integrate（合成）the proper smells in digital code to their games and images. The company is also hoping that Hollywood filmmakers will use the smell technology in their movies．Imagine audiences getting the smell of rocket fuel as a spacecraft takes off on the cinema screen！Of course，filmmakers will have to be careful not to shoot in dirty neighborhoods，which have a lot of rubbish lying around．

I was the typical“I can't”child-whatever my mother told or asked me to do was immediately followed by my cry，“I can't．”As a result，very few tasks or goals that I set out to achieve were ever completed．
One evening，my mother called me into the family room．“I want you to read this article，”Mother began．“It's about Marlo Thomas．She tells how a simple poem that she was forced to learn by her father changed her life·She went from saying‘I can't’to‘I can’·According to this article，she was able to reorganize her life and her career by learning the principles（原则）in the poem．”
I took the small magazine from Mother and looked down at the pages．There was Marlo-my idol. Beside her photo was the poem my mother had spoken of，a simple poem entitled，“I Can”．“I want you to memorize that poem，”Mother said firmly．“Mama，”I belly-ached．“I can't learn that poem．It's too long．”
“It's not too long and you can learn it．1 want you to know it perfectly by this time tomorrow，”said my mother. Unwillingly，I went back to my bedroom with the magazine．With a heavy heart，I threw myself into the bed and began my task．
“Can't is a word that is the enemy to ambition，”I began．I repeated the line．I repeated it again and again．“An enemy ambush to shatter your will…”I continued the process until I proudly recited the poem the following evening. It has now become my principle．Marlo 1 homas did not know me，but her story forever changed my life．
Saying “I can” helped me to get through the worst moments of my life: Saying “I can” encouraged me to complete things I would have otherwise seen as out of my reach. A simple poem learned at seven is a poem that will support me to seventy-seven，maybe even longer.One evening my mother asked me to ，
| A．read an article | B．meet Marlo |
| C．write a poem | D．take photos |
The underlined part“I belly-ached”in Paragraph 3 probably means“ ”．

On the following evening，I ．
| A．repeated the lines on TV |
| B．read more stories about Marlo |
| C．proudly recited the poem |
| D．had a long talk with my mother |
What can we learn from the passage'?
| A．Marlo is very popular among teenagers． |
| B．I become interested in poems all my life． |
| C．Marlo always encourages me to work hard． |
| D．Saying“I can”has helped me get over difficulties． |

It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas.While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband,had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work.On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does.After putting in 10 hours of work, he returned to find his bike gone.
The bike,a black 18-speed Kona, was our only transport.Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get everyday things,saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.
I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story.Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help.One stranger even bought a bike,then called my husband to pick it up.Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a stranger would help someone they have never met before.
People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another,but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so.This experience has had a spreading influence in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity(人性的信念) as a whole. And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we,too,can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can last forever.When their bike was stolen?
