He wanted to help athletes run faster. So he had learned how to make running shoes. He had also started a shoe company with a friend. It was 1971. Running shoes at the time were heavy.They had spikes (鞋钉) on the sole (鞋底). The spikes tore up the track and slowed down runners.‎ To make a lighter shoe, Bill tried the skins of fish. To make a better sole, he wanted to replace the spikes. Bill dug through his wife Barbara’s jewelry box. He hoped to find a piece of jewelry with an interesting pattern. He would then copy the pattern onto the new soles. Nothing worked. Bill was defeated.‎ Then, one Sunday morning, Barbara made Bill waffles (华夫饼) for breakfast. Bill watched her cook. He studied the criss-cross pattern on a waffle iron. Inspiration struck. The pattern on the waffle iron was just what Bill was looking for. The squares were flatter and wider than sharp spikes. The pattern would help the shoes hold any surface without tearing into it.‎ When Barbara left the house, Bill ran to his lab. He took the liquid chemicals that, when mixed, would harden into the sole of a shoe. He poured the mixture into the waffle iron---and the Waffle Trainer was born.‎ Bill’s company put the Waffle Trainer on market in 1974. It was a huge hit. Maybe you’ve heard of that company---it's called Nike. And today it's worth around $100 billion.‎ It was the waffle iron that had changed the course of Bill’s life---and helped turn Nike into a well-known name. Today, the waffle iron is kept at Nike headquarters. It serves as a reminder that if we keep trying, we can find a solution to even the most difficult problems. And those solutions can come from unlikely places, even the breakfast table.‎ 24. What shortcomings did the old-style running shoes have?‎ A.They were hard to wear. B. They were too large.‎ C. They were impractical. D. They were easy to break.‎ ‎25. Where did Bill get the inspiration to invent the famous Waffle Trainer?‎ A. From the skins of the fish. B.From his wife’s cooking.‎ C. From the color of the iron. D. From his wife’s jewelry.‎ ‎26. What can we learn from Bill’s success?‎ A. A cheer wife is the joy of life. B. Two heads are better than one.‎ C. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. D. A bad workman quarrels with his tools.‎ ‎27. What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A. Waffles and Nike B. Inspiration and Invention C. A Great Inventor D. A Well-Known Company C Government in Tibet have denied the permanent(永久的) closure of Mount Qomolangma National Nature Reserve.‎ The announcement came after a report went viral online claiming the base camp of the world's highest mountain was “permanently closed due to heavy pollution” and caused a universal misunderstanding.‎ Mount Qomolangma National Nature Reserve was set up in 1988. Covering an area of more than 33, 800 square km, it is home to one of the world's most weak ecosystems.‎ Kelsang, deputy director of the reserves administration, said ordinary tourists are allowed to visit areas around Rongpo Monastery, almost 5,000 meters above sea level. As for travelers who have a climbing permit(许可证), they can go to the base camp at an altitude of 5,200 meters. The mountaineering activities have been permitted by the regional forestry department.‎ To conserve the environment surrounding Mount Qomolangma, China carried out three major clean-ups at an altitude of 5, 200 meters and above last spring, collecting eight tonnes of household wastes, human wastes and mountaineering trash. This year, the clean-up will continue, and the remains of mountaineering victims above 8,000 meters will be centrally dealt with for the first time. Meanwhile, the number of people who stay at the base camp will be kept under 300.‎ Recently, there are 85 wildlife protectors in the reserve, and 1,000 herders have part-time jobs going around and cleaning up garbage.‎ These measures aim to strike a balance between various demands such as environmental protection, local poverty relief, mountaineering and education, said Wang Shen, county chief of Dingri at the mountain foot.‎ 28. Which of the following can replace the underlined words “went viral” in Paragraph 2 ?‎ A. Spread wild. B. Block out. C. Gave away. D. Shoot up.‎ 29. What can we learn according to Kelsang’s words about the National Nature Reserve?‎ A. Most tourists are allowed to visit the base camp.‎ B. Permit is a must for visitors going to the base camp.‎ C. The mountaineering activities are not allowed these days.‎ D. The areas above 5,200 meters are open to everyone.‎ 30. Why did the government carry out clean-ups at an altitude of 5, 200 meters and above?‎ A. To provide a much easier path for mountaineers.‎ B. To keep mountaineering activities going smooth.‎ C. To remove the remains of mountaineering victims.‎ D. To protect the environment of Mount Qomolangma.‎ ‎31．How many people are involved in the cleaning up activities at present?‎ A. 300 B. 1000 C. 85 D. 1085‎ D Technology offers conveniences such as opening the garage door from your car or changing the television station without touching the TV.‎ Now one American company is offering its employees a new convenience: a microchip (芯片) implanted in their hands. Employees who have these chips can do all kinds of things just by waving their hands.Three Square Market is offering to implant microchips in all of their employees for free. Each chip costs $300 and Three Square Market will pay for the chip. Employees can volunteer to have the chips implanted in their hands. About 50 out of 80 employees have chosen to do so.The president of the company, his wife and their children are also getting chips implanted in their hands.‎ The chip is about the size of a grain of rice. Implanting the chip only takes about a second and is said to hurt only very briefly.The chips go under the skin between the thumb and forefinger.With a chip in the hand, a person can enter the office building, buy food, sign into computers and more, simply by waving that hand near a scanner(扫描仪).The chips will he also used to identify employees. Employees who want convenience, but do not want to have a microchip implanted under their skin, can wear a wristband or a ring with a chip instead.They can perform the same tasks with a wave of their hands as if they had an implanted chip.‎ Three Square Market is the first company in the United Slates to offer to implant chips in its employees. Epicenter, a company in Sweden, has been implanting chips in its employees for a while.‎ Three Square Market says the chip cannot track the employees.The company says scanners can read the chips only when they are within a few inches of them.“The chips protect against identity theft, similar to credit cards.” The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the chips back in 2004, so they should be safe for humans, according to the company.‎ In the future, people with the chips may be able to do more with them, even outside the office.Todd Westby is Chief Executive Officer of Three Square Market. He says,“Eventually, this technology will become standardized allowing you to use this as your passport, public transit, all purchasing opportunities,etc.”‎ ‎32. What is the third paragraph mainly about?‎ A. The substitutes of the chips. B. The potential risks of implanting the chips.‎ C. The places to implant the chips. D. The advantages of the chips.‎ ‎33.

Let me explain a little about it. As you may know already, it’s a required meeting once a week. I expect you to do all the experiments and keep the results in your lab notebook. I’ll collect the notebooks every two weeks. You’ll be graded on lab notebooks and quizzes. But the most important information I want to give you now is about safety. First of all, you must wear shoes that cover your feet in the lab. Tennis shoes are OK. Also, don’t wear loose clothes, long scarves, big necklaces, or loose belts — they get caught in something or fall into liquid. Another thing to do for safety is cleaning up. Be sure to put the waste in the correct containers. We can’t mix liquid with paper. This is extremely important. I don’t want any fires in this room. You are responsible for washing out your own lab equipment and putting it away. If you don’t do this, I will take away points from your grade. Nobody’s going to clean up after you. OK, any questions?‎
