• 2．At the end of August this year I moved from London，UK，to a small town in Quebec，Canada，called Matane to work as an English language assistant.Patience is a word that has appeared in many forms over the past two months.
     I don't see myself as being the most patient person in the world but there was something that struck me on my first week of work.I had just finished a session with two students and just as they were leaving the classroom，one of the students turned back and said， "Thank you for your patience." That was an early reminder of the importance of being patient as a teacher.It also made me reflect on the language teachers that I have had over the years，ones that demonstrated a high level of patience and understanding that has shaped my language learning path.Moreover，it helped me to realize the importance of demonstrating patience in the classroom as it can be the difference between building someone's confidence in a language or breaking down their confidence entirely.
     Living my life constantly in French is not easy but the people of Quebec are very patient.They repeat things several times and they are more than happy to wait while I find the correct words to express myself and find the correct word order.It's a learning process but with the patience of others，the process is slightly less nervous.At the end of the day，making mistakes shows you are trying and I think that is greatly appreciated by Quebecers.
     When I first arrived in Matane I kept getting headaches from having to concentrate all the time due to the language and even overhearing other people's conversations was hard work!I had to keep reminding myself that it would take time，and two months later the headaches are a distant memory and my ears have become more tuned to their accent.The key is to be patient with yourself.
  
  （1）What is important as a teacher according to Paragraph 2？

  
  A．Understanding.
  B．Patience.
  C．Confidence.
  D．Help.
  （2）In a small town called Matane，which language do the local people speak？

  
  A．English.
  B．Spanish.
  C．French.
  D．Italian.
  （3）What about the author when hearing the student's words？

  
  A．She felt kind of surprised.
  B．She thought he was wrong.
  C．She realized she needed more patience.
  D．She was at a loss what to do.
  （4）What can we infer according to the last paragraph？

  
  A．The key to success is patient with yourself.
  B．Don't be always talking with others in a new place.
  C．It takes two months to master a new language.
  D．The headache left the author a poor memory.

• 3．Generating electricity from thin air may sound like science fiction，but a new technology based on nanowire（纳米线）bacteria does just that - as long as there's moisture（水分） in the air.A new study shows that when fashioned into a film，these wires - protein lines that send electrons（电子） away from the bacteria - can produce enough power to light a light-emitting diode（二极管）.The film works by simply absorbing humidity from the surrounding air.Though researchers aren't sure exactly how these wires work，the tiny power plants make a great difference：Seventeen devices linked together can generate 10 volts，which is enough electricity to power a cellphone.
     The new method should be considered a "milestone advance" says Guo Wanlin，a materials scientist at Nanjing University who wasn't involved with the work.Guo studies hydrovoltaics，a molecular approach to harvesting electricity from water.
     The way hydrovoltaic devices work is still a bit of a mystery.When water droplets interact with certain kinds of graphene （石墨烯） or other materials，an electric charge is generated，and electrons move through the materials.Many questions remain about exactly how these devices generate electricity，however. "I think a deeper understanding…is needed，" says Dirk de Beer，a microbiologist developing microsensors at the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology.
     Researchers are also just starting to learn how electron-conducting bacteria function.More than 15 years ago，co-author Derek Lovley，a microbiologist at the University of Massachusetts（UMASS），Amherst，and his colleagues discovered that a bacterium called Geobacter shuttles electrons from organic material to metal-based mixtures，such as iron oxides.Since then，he and others have learned that many other bacteria make protein nanowires to transfer electrons to other bacteria or deposits in their environments.This transfer creates a small electrical current，which researchers have tried with varying degrees of success as clean energy.Using water vapor is "a revolutionary technology to get renewable，green，and cheap energy directly from atmospheric wetness，" says Qu Liangti，a materials scientist at Tsinghua University.
  
  （1）What do "the tiny power plants" in Paragraph 1 refer to？

  
  A．Electrons.
  B．Protein nanowires.
  C．Seventeen devices.
  D．Light-emitting diodes.
  （2）What is the purpose of the second and third paragraphs？

  
  A．To explain what hydrovoltaics is.
  B．To introduce Dirk de Beer's doubts.
  C．To stress the new method's advance.
  D．To tell how electron-conducting bacteria function.
  （3）What can we learn from the text？

  
  A．Guo Wanlin is a co-author of Derek Lovley.
  B．Researchers are sure how protein nanowires work.
  C．Graphene mixed with iron oxides can make electricity.
  D．Researchers sometimes fail to get electricity from bacteria.
  （4）Which of the following is the best title for the text？

  
  A．Water Vapor is a Green and Cheap Energy.
  B．Molecular Harve Electricity from Water.
  C．Electric Bacteria Create Currents out of Air.
  D．Hydrovoltaic and Nanowire Devices Require Power.

      It was a beautiful sunny day when the moving van pulled onto the tree-lined street. Mark and Mindy stepped out of the van and looked at their new home with pride. They had both been saving for a long time to purchase their first house together and were very excited to go on a new venture.
      Within an hour they had unloaded a number of boxes and were pleased with their progress. The sky had begun to darken slightly， but the weather was still pleasant. Then Mindy heard it - even felt it. There was a large clap of thunder and then a bolt of lightning. Mindy and Mark immediately froze and looked at each other， then looked at the boxes scattered （分散） on their lawn. They hastily raced to get their belongings indoors， but not before getting caught in heavy rain.
      The couple stood in their living room， wet from head to toe， surrounded by what were now very wet boxes. Then， Mark noticed a pool of water in the hallway.
      He went to inspect and found that there was water dripping from the ceiling. "We can have someone fix it，" Mindy said. "I'll grab a bucket to catch the water for now."
      A moment later Mark heard a scream and raced into the kitchen just in time to see a mouse running across the floor.
      Mindy was frozen with fright.
      "Don't worry. We can take care of that!" Mark said， trying to sound as reassuring （安心的） as possible. "Let's go unpack some of the boxes. That will make us feel better."
      Mark and Mindy made their way to the living room， but when they opened a box holding their kitchen utensils （器皿） and dishes， they found that all of their plates， bowls and cups were broken. They looked at each other in dismay （沮丧）.
      "What do we do now？" Mindy asked.
      Their first day in their new home was not turning out to be the joyous occasion they had expected.
  Paragraph 1
      Just then， there was a knock at the door.------------
  Paragraph 2
      Suddenly they heard a noise from the attic （阁楼）.--------
