26、 An 85-year-old building, the Lagena Primary School has been lifted off the ground—in its entirety—and relocated using new technology called the “walking machine”. In the city’s latest effort to preserve historic structures, engineers attached nearly 200 mobile supports under the five-storey building, according to Lan Wuji, chief technical supervisor of the project. The supports act like robotic legs. They’re split into two groups which take turns to rise up and down, imitating(模仿) the human walking. Attached sensors help control how the building moves forward, Lan said, whose company Shanghai
Evolution Shift developed the new technology in 2018. “It’s like giving the building crutches(拐杖) so it can stand up and then walk,” he said. Built in 1935, the school was moved in order to make space for a new commercial and office complex (建筑群), which will be completed by 2023.
The relocation was completed on October 15 last year with the old school building set to become a center for heritage protection and cultural education. The project marked the first time this “walking machine” method has been used in Shanghai to relocate a historical building.
There are a few ways to go about moving a building. But the Lagena Primary School, which weighs 7,600 tons, created a new challenge—it’s T-shaped. The irregular shape meant that traditional methods of pulling or sliding may not have worked. Experts and technicians met to discuss possibilities and test a number of different technologies before deciding on the “walking machine”. Lan said that he couldn’t share the exact cost of the project, and that relocation costs will differ case by case. “But in general, it’s cheaper than demolishing and then rebuilding something in a new location.”
【1】What can we know about the Lagena Primary School?
A.It was relocated in 2018.
B.It was built in the 1930s.
C.It was designed by Lan Wuji.
D.It was lifted off the ground partly.
【2】What was used to move the school?
A.Mobile supports.
B.Robotic arms.

【3】Why was the school moved away?
A.To protect it in a better way.
B.To test the walking machine.
C.To make space for a modern school.
D.To make room for commercial buildings.
【4】What does the underlined word “demolishing” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Refusing.
B.Charging.
C.Destroying.
D.Defeating.
27、A simple piece of clotheslines hangs between some environmentally friendly Americans and their neighbors. On one side stand those who see clothes dryers as a waste of energy and a major polluter of the environment. As a result, they are turning to clotheslines as part of the "what-I-can- do environmentalism”
But on the other side are people who are against drying clothes outside, arguing that clotheslines are unpleasant to look at. They have persuaded Homeowners Associations(HOAs) across the US to stop outdoor clotheslines, because clothesline drying also tends to lower home value in the neighborhood. This has led to a Right-to-Dry Movement that is calling for laws be passed to protect the choice to use clotheslines. So far, only three states have laws to protect clotheslines.
Matt Reck, 37, is the kind of eco-friendly person who feeds his trees with bathwater and reuses water drops from his air conditioners to water plants. His family also uses a clothesline. But several days ago, the HOA in North Carolina told him that a dissatisfied neighbor had telephoned them about his clothesline. The Recks paid no attention to the warning and still dried their clothes on a line in the yard "Many people say they are environmentally friendly but they don't take matters in their own hands," says Reck. The local HOA has decided not to take any action, unless more neighbors complain.
North Carolina lawmakers say that stopping clotheslines is not the right thing to do. But HOAs and housing businesses believe that clothesline drying reminds people of poor neighborhoods. They worry that if buyers think their future neighbors can" even afford dryers, housing prices will fall.
Environmentalists say such worries are not necessary, and in view of global warming, that idea needs to change. As they say, "The clothesline is beautiful Hanging clothes outside should be encouraged. We all have to do at least something to slow down the process of global warming.

28、In 1978, I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270 km away from Sydney, Australia. I was looking forward to having five days off from duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I’d hitch a ride (搭便车).
I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn’t give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured (使…放心)me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.
Twenty-five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favour I’d been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.
After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “You haven’t changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.” I couldn’t remember where I’d met him. He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon.

29、 Donzella Washington, 80, graduated from Alabama A&M University on Dec.6 with a bachelor's degree in social work. She made history as the oldest graduate of Alabama A&M in their 144-year history.
In 2010, her mother died, followed by her sister and husband's death, which all happened in three years. Washington said that her motivation (动力)behind going back to school was her husband, Jeff, who was one of her biggest supporters.
“My father supported everything she did, especially returning to school," her daughter, Kimberly Washington, said. “Although my father did not have a traditional college education, he knew the value of gaining one.”
Before moving to Alabama, with her daughter in 2012, Washington and her husband lived on a farm in California, where they fostered (收养)about 30 children - including a group of six siblings in the 1970's so that they could stay together.
“I have seen her work tirelessly to achieve this dream and to finally be there to see her was a very proud moment. The most challenging part has been comforting her when she was missing my father most... those moments when she cries and all I can do is hold her and love on her. Kimberly continued.
Another one of the challenges Washington overcame was a stuttering (结巴)problem growing up. So she began taking speech classes. Then, years later, she picked up social work and business classes one — by — one at Lawson State Community College before transferring to Alabama A&M University.
Now, Washington said she's not slowing down any time soon. She said that she's even considering going back to school to get her master's degree. In the meantime, she hopes to provide volunteer service wherever necessary.
