At the age of 35, I decided to work on the plane against the will of my children. After my first plane ride at the age of five, I felt so excited that I had a dream of earning my wings on the plane. I didn’t earn much, but I loved my job. ‎ We were flying from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C, when I answered a call. Then I went to the cabin (客舱), I found a young mother struggling with her baby son. ‎ She told me that she had no more diapers (尿布). With the saddest eyes I have ever seen, she continued. She said she had two babies, but she could no longer support two of them. She was taking her son to a family in New Hampshire. ‎ As she stood in front of me, crying, I could see the hopelessness on her face. I went away and got some diapers from the other mothers, and gave her a sweater of mine. After the woman and her son had changed their clothes, I sat with her, holding her hand, trying to provide some support and comfort. I could feel her pain and her love for her baby son. During that time, I kept thinking of my children who were waiting for me in New York.‎ Once we landed, I walked with them to their next flight, which would take them to their final destination. The woman thanked me a lot, and I replied, “Thank you, too.” At this moment, I couldn’t wait to return home to see my children.‎ ‎1. What can we learn about Laura from the first paragraph?‎ A. She wanted to live an exciting life. ‎ B. It was her dream to fly in the sky.‎ - 11 -‎ C. Her children agreed with her decision. ‎ D. She liked her new job because of its high pay.‎ ‎2. Laura’s job on the plane was to ____. ‎ A. help the passengers when they were in trouble ‎ B. help the pilot manage the airplane ‎ C. help the passengers adventure by plane ‎ D. ensure the safety of the airplane ‎3. Which was the mother and son’s final destination?‎ A. New York. B. Los Angeles. C. New Hampshire. D. Washington, D.C. ‎ ‎4. Why did the author thank the young woman?‎ A. She made the author see the importance of her work.‎ B. She provided support and comfort for the author.‎ C. She had helped a lot when the author was in trouble.‎ D. She made the author realize the importance of a mother’s love for the children.‎ B Do you find airport security slow and a bit annoying?! If so, maybe a 3D scanning machine will make going through security a lot quicker and easier in the future.‎ Queuing, unpacking and repacking our suitcases is the price of airport security. Suitcases go through an X-ray and any suspicious image means the luggage is sent on to a second machine, but a new 3D scanner may speed things up. It was the result of a cooperation between a global company, Rapiscan Systems, and a team led by Professor Bill Lionheart. ‎ The idea is that the bags could have a three-dimensional scan and be viewed from any angle, allowing the security people to get a much better idea of the contents of a piece of luggage much faster. “They had invented it to make it very fast,” says Professor Lionheart, “but they hadn’t thought about how to make the three-dimensional picture.” Despite the difficulties, Lionheart and his team who designed the machine finally managed to make one based on complex mathematical calculations, which the operator can look at in any direction. ‎ - 11 -‎ The resulting machine, the RTT80(Real time Tomography) 3D scanner won a famous prize and has been in experimental use in the US and in Germany with a view to being put into production if itmeets the necessary standards. The mathematics they’ve used for the scanner is also a starting point for other applications. Rapiscan also make metal detectors which made Professor Lionheart think that there are perhaps new ways of thinking about landmines（地雷）.‎ ‎“It’s not a problem we have in the UK,” says Lionheart, “but in the Far East and Africa, it will take hundreds of years to clear the mines. We are hoping that this metal detector project will lead to projects where we can clear up landmines much quicker.” Lionheart believes that mathematics is particularly good at working across different engineering problems. “You start looking at X-rays in airport security, then apply the same things to material science, inventing detectors, and you realize the same mathematics could be applied to landmine detection. We tend to make bridges across different disciplines because the mathematics is shared.”‎ ‎5. What’s the function of Paragraph 1? ‎ A. To lead in the topic of the passage. ‎ B. To introduce the background of the passage. ‎ C. To suggest high speed is important to our lives. ‎ D. To show people’s concern about airport security. ‎ ‎6. What does the author say about the new 3D scanner?‎ A. It is a result of years of experiments. ‎ B. It has already been put on the market. ‎ C. It manages to reach the required standards. ‎ D. It can improve the efficiency of airport security. ‎ ‎7. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph but one refer to? ‎ A. The prize. B. The production. ‎ C. The 3D scanner. D. The experimental use. ‎ ‎8. What do we know about mathematics from Lionheart’s words? ‎ A. It inspires Lionheart to design the 3D scanner. ‎ B. It has wide application in the engineering field. ‎ - 11 -‎ C. It accelerates the solving the landmine problem. ‎ D. It can reduce the differences between scientific fields. ‎ C About us The London Pass was created to help people who visit London see more while spending less on their trip to London.

If you expect otherwise，your life will be filled with disappointments.‎ Success doesn’t happen overnight. Trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit.

If you search for the lesson in your present struggle，you’ll be able to make positive changes that would prevent similar situations in the future.‎ Without hard times，you wouldn’t appreciate the good ones. Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to give in，that is strength. It is hard to find much to smile about when you fail，but how else would you improve yourself? If you look at failure as a part of your evolutionary process，you’ll stay positive and pursue your goals for as long as it takes.‎ ‎12. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?‎ A.
