They are not just chopsticks ． Scientists at an American university have invented a pair of electronic chopsticks that can change the taste of food．When you put the chopsticks in your mouth，they can make you feel the taste becomes better，such as making sweet food taste sweeter or salty food less salty．Soon the scientists are going to try their technology on bottles，cups and spoons． |

It's not just a sticker ． It's said that about 52%of the fruits of the earth go bad before reaching the buyers．Scientists from Malaysia thought of a simple way to solve the problem﹣tiny stickers（小粘贴）that are made out of some natural materials．Put the stickers on fruits，and the fruits can keep fresh up to two weeks． |

They are not just shoes ． Every step you take is helping cut down air pollution．This is not in science fiction．A team from Europe has invented such a pair of shoes．The shoes can take in dirty air and send out clean air．If you wear the shoes and walk one kilometer，the shoes can clean the air polluted by eight cars． |

A father was sitting at his desk and looking at his bills when his young son rushed in and said, “Dad, because today is your birthday and you’re 40 years old, I’m going to give you 40 kisses, one for each year!” When the boy started kissing, the father shouted, “Oh, Andrew, don’t do it now. I’m too busy!”
The boy soon became silent as tears fell down from his big blue eyes. Feeling sorry, the father said, “You can finish the kisses later .”
The boy said nothing but quietly walked away. That evening the father said, “Come and finish the kisses now, Andrew!” But the boy didn’t.
Unfortunately, a few days later, the boy had an accident and died. His sad father wrote,“If only I could tell him how sorry I am for my thoughtless words, and how much my heart is hurting.”
Love is a two-way street. We must warmly accept any loving act, or others will take it as a “No” and it may leave a scar(伤痕). If we don’t receive love, our life will lose its true meaning.
Any loving act must be warmly accepted, or it will be taken as rejection and can leave a scar. If we are too busy to give and receive love, we are too silly! Nothing is more important than accepting love from those who are and dear to us.

“Who needs a shopping mall (购物中心)if you have Taobao?” says Wang Lin, 28, a writer in Beijing.
Taobao, China’s largest online shopping site (网上风物网站)，has become an important part of Wang Lin’s life. She spends lots of money on Taobao.
A growing number of Chinese Internet users like Wang have found the joys of online shopping. Most online shoppers are students or young workers. More women shop on line than men. Clothing and home-use products (产品) are the most popular on line.
It was reported that more than 250 billion (十亿) yuan was spent on online shopping last year, 80% through Taobao.
Taobao means “looking for treasure” in Chinese. People can find almost everything they need on Taobao, from clothes to books, from candies to DVD players.
You may question the security of online shopping, Wang Lin said, “It’s very safe and convenient (便利的). Unless you receive the products from the sellers and are satisfied with them, the shop owner will not get the money. You can also get your money back if you want to return the products.”

A Nobel Prize(诺贝尔奖) is considered by most people one of the highest international honors a person can receive. As you know, the prizes were started by a Swede(瑞典人) called Alfred Nobel. He was born in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. Alfred Nobel was a great scientist. He made two important inventions, and so he became very rich. Although he was rich, Nobel was not a happy man. He never married or had children. Also, he was a sick man during his large part of life. When he died at the age of 63, he left a fund(资金) of $9,000,000. The money was to be used in giving prizes to those who made great achievements in physics, chemistry, medicine and literature(文学), and for world peace.
The first Nobel Prizes were given on December 10, 1901, five years after Nobel’s death. Since then many famous people from all over the world have been given Nobel Prizes for their achievements.
Each prize has three parts. The first part is a gold medal. Second, a winner of a Nobel Prize is given a diploma saying that he has been given the prize. The third part of the prize is a large amount of money-about $40,000.
Often a prize is given to just one person, but not always. Sometimes a prize is shared. It may be given to two or more people who have worked together. It is also sometimes true that a prize is not given at all if there is no great achievement. In 1972, for example, no Nobel Peace Prize was given.When was Alfred Nobel born?
| A．In 1938. | B．In 1833. | C．In 1896. | D．In 1906. |

| B．He was a poor, unhappy and unlucky man. |
| C．He was a rich, but unhappy and unlucky man. |
| D．He was a poor, but happy and lucky man. |
When he died, Nobel left a large amount of money ________.
| A．to his wife | B．to his children |
| C．for helping the poor people in Sweden | D．for setting five prizes |
The underlined word “diploma” in the passage most probably means_________ .
| A．certificate(证书) | B．letter | C．ticket | D．card |
