21、How fit are your teeth? Are you lazy about brushing them? Never fear: An inventor is on the case. An electric toothbrush senses how long and how well you brush, and it lets you track your performance on your phone.
The Kolibree toothbrush was exhibited at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week. It senses how it is moved and can send the information to an Android phone or iPhone via a Bluetooth wireless connection.
The toothbrush will be able to teach you to brush right (don’t forget the insides of the teeth!) and make sure you’re brushing long enough. “It’s kind of like having a dentist actually watch your brushing on a day-to-day basis,” says Thomas Serval, the French inventor.
The toothbrush will also be able to talk to other applications on your phone, so developers could, for instance, create a game controlled by your toothbrush. You could score points for beating monsters among your teeth. “We try to make it smart but also fun,” Several says.
Serval says he was inspired by his experience as a father. He would come home from work and ask his kids if they had brushed their teeth. They said “yes,” but Serval would find their toothbrush heads dry. He decided he needed a brush that really told him how well his children brushed.
The company says the Kolibree will go on sale this summer, for $99 to $199, developing on features. The U.S. is the first target market.
Serval says that one day, it’ll be possible to replace the brush on the handle with a brushing unit that also has a camera. The camera can even examine holes in your teeth while you brush.
【1】Which is one of the feature of the Kolibree toothbrush?
A.It can sense how users brush their teeth.

D.You’d like a dentist to watch you brush your teeth every day.
【3】Which of the following might make the Kolibree toothbrush fun?

【6】What can we learn about the future development of the Kolibree?

23、Choose Native Plants for Your Garden
Jessica Damiano moved into a new home in the spring of 2005. A month later, she was delighted to see a flowering plant start to grow. 【1】
Two years later, Damiano graduated from Cornell University’s master gardener program. She worked as a gardening writer for a local newspaper. 【2】 She discovered that her favorite plant was called purple loosestrife and that it was considered “invasive(入侵的)” in her home state of New York. However, she told herself that the plant was not spreading on the land and that it was not out of control.
Then she learned more. Some plants known to be invasive are what Damiano calls “wolves in sheep’s clothing”. This means they may seem harmless and well-contained in the garden but become harmful in other places.
【3】 Those seeds grow into new plants that affect native plants. This is because invasive plants often are not eaten by local wildlife, which would otherwise keep them under control.
If not controlled, invasive plants grow larger and push out native plants that provide food and shelter for birds, insects, and small animals. This harms the local environment.
Many state environmental agencies don’t allow the sale and use of plants found to be harmful to human or ecological(生态的) health. But some invasive plants are not officially considered invasive. 【4】
So, what should a gardener do?
Damiano says gardeners should avoid any plants sold as “fast-spreading” “quick-climbing” or a “rapid self-sower”. She warns that these are all sellers’ key words for invasive plants.
Next, learn about your local area. Which plants are invasive? And which plants are native? Ask government agencies and environmental groups. 【5】 Then you can confirm invasive plants.
A．But that did not matter to her.
B．That is when she found out the truth.
C．It destroys food and habitat for fish and water birds.
D．You can also do your own study at libraries or online.
E．She did not know the name of the beautiful purple plant.
F．Others may be listed as invasive in one area but not another.
G．Birds eat the seeds of invasive plants and spread them to other places.
24、Immigration is the act of coming to a foreign country to live. The act of leaving one's country to settle in another is called emigration. Immigrants who flee their country because of persecution, war, or such disasters as famines or epidemics are known as refugees or displaced persons. Most people find it very hard to pull up roots in their native land and move to a strange country. But throughout history, countless millions of people have done so. The heaviest immigration worldwide took place from the early 1800's to the Great Depression, the economic hard times of the 1930's. In that period, about 60 million people moved to a new land. Most came from Europe. More than half immigrated to the United States. Other destinations included Canada, Argentina, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. Today, the availability of fast, safe, and cheap transportation helps make migration easier. Asia is replacing Europe as the major immigrant-sending area. The United States remains the chief receiving nation.
People abandon their homeland and move to another country for various reasons.
The main reason for immigration has long been economic opportunity----the desire for better land or a better job. During the 1800's, for example, the rich prairie land of the United States attracted many European farmers. Today, professional people commonly emigrate because of better opportunities elsewhere. Such emigration has sometimes been called brain drain. Many doctors and nurses and numerous engineers and scientists have moved to the United States.
Religious persecution has led many people to move to a new land for the freedom to practice their faith. Such immigrants include Jews expelled from England in the 1200's.
Wars, revolutions, and political unrest have driven innumerable people to find new homes. In the 1990's alone, millions of refugees fled from warfare in Afghanistan, Iraq, Liberia, Iran, Uganda, Southeastern Asia, and Central America.
Some immigrants were brought to a new land against their will. From the 1500's to the 1800's Europeans shipped black Africans to the Western Hemisphere as slaves. The United Kingdom transported prisoners to Australia from the late 1700s to the 1860s to relieve over crowding in British jails. Before that time, the United Kingdom sent prisoners to the American colonies.
Immigrants have made enormous contributions to the culture and economy of such nations as Australia, Canada, New Zealand the United States. But their accomplishments have been made with great difficulty. At times, the United States, like many receiving countries, has restricted immigration to maintain a more homogeneous society in which all the people share the same ethnic, geographic, and cultural background. Although some immigration laws have been relaxed, many new comers of different backgrounds still face challenges in gaining acceptance.
【1】Most Immigrants to the United States in the nineteenth century came from _______.
A. Europe B. Asia C. Australia D. South Africa
【2】There are altogether______ reasons of immigration listed in the passage.
A.2 B.3 C. 4 D. 5
【3】The main reason for immigration is __________according to the passage.
A. slavery trade B. religious persecution

A. immigration laws have been relaxed.
B. people from different backgrounds live harmoniously together.
C. a brain drain occurs.

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Amy Hagadom, a third-grade girl in Fort Wayne, Indiana, impressed people all across the country by bravely speaking up to make a simple yet remarkable wish.
As Amy Hagadorn rounded the comer across the hall from her classroom, she knocked into a tall boy from the fifth grade running in the opposite direction.
“Watch it, squirt (矮子).” The boy yelled as he passed by the little third-grader. Then, with a bad smile on his face, the boy took hold of his right leg and copied the way Amy limped (跛行) when she walked.
Amy closed her eyes. Ignore him, she told herself as she headed for her classroom. But at the end of the day, Amy was still thinking about the tall boy's mean teasing. It wasn't as if he were the only one. It seemed that ever since Amy started the third grade, someone teased her every single day. Kids teased her about her speech or her limping. Amy was tired of it. Sometimes, even in a classroom full of other students,the teasing made her feel very lonely.
Back home at the dinner table that evening, Amy was quiet. Her mother knew that things were not going well at school. That’s why Patti Hagadorn was happy to have some exciting news to share with her daughter.
“There’s a Christmas wish contest on the radio station,”Amy’s mom announced.“Write a letter to Santa, and you might win a prize.”
Amy giggled.The contest sounded like fun. She started thinking about what she wanted most for Christmas.
A smile took hold of Amy when the idea first came to her. Out came pencil and paper, and Amy went to work on her letter.
Dear Santa Claus.
My name is Amy. I am nine years old. I have a problem at school. Can you help me Santa? Kids laugh at me because of the way I walk and run and talk. I have a serious disease. I just want one day where no one laughs at me or makes fun of me. Love, Amy.
