Thomas Jefferson was on born April 13, 1743 in Albemarle County, Virginia. When he was 14, he inherited his father's estate and slaves. Soon after, Jefferson attended the College of William and Mary where he studied mathematics, metaphysics, and philosophy. In 1767, Jefferson was admitted to the Virginia Bar and practiced law. Jefferson remained influential at the College of William and Mary throughout his life, and helped start the nation's first student honor code.
In 1769, when he was just 26, Jefferson was elected to the Virginia House of Representatives. In 1772, Jefferson began building his home, Monticello. That same year, he married Martha Wayles Skelton. The couple would eventually have six children.
As a member of the second Continental Congress, Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence with help from Benjamin Franklin and others. In 1779, he was elected as governor of Virginia. Although he resigned in 1781, during his term as governor, Jefferson wrote the famous statute on religious freedom. Jefferson's writings also formed the basis of the Ordinances of 1784, 1785, and 1787. From 1785-1789, Jefferson served as minister to France. In 1789, George Washington appointed him Secretary of State. Jefferson was elected president by the House of Representatives in 1800 and served two presidential terms.
Thomas Jefferson is remembered as one of the most brilliant men to ever inhabit the White House, whose views on individual freedom, religion, and education still influence today. In fact, the establishment of the University of Virginia reflected Jefferson's views about the role of religion in education—it was the first university in America to be centered around a library rather than a church. Jefferson believed in the strict separation of church and state (national affairs, including education should not be influenced by a dominant religion). Jefferson was also an accomplished surveyor, author, architect, and agriculturalist.
Today, buildings, cities, counties, corporations, and monuments bear Jefferson's name. He is honored on the United States two-dollar bill and nickel.
24. What do we know about Thomas Jefferson and the College of William and Mary?
A. He was once forced to the Virginia Bar.
B. He was an extraordinary figure in the college.
C. He helped improve the student honor code there.
D. He had set free the slaves before he attended the college.
25. What did Thomas Jefferson write while he was the governor of Virginia?
A. The Ordinance of 1784.
B. Virginia Constitution.
C. Statute on Religious Freedom.
D. The Declaration of Independence.
26. What was Jefferson’s influence on the University of Virginia?
A. The university was free from the control of the church.
B. A library was built in the center of the university.
C. Students were expected to attend church.
D. Courses of the university were enriched.
27. What can we know from the last paragraph?

B. It was Jefferson who built the monuments.
C. Jefferson is familiar to almost everyone in America.
D. Jefferson has been removed from the five-dollar bill.

It walks and runs, even up and down stairs. It can open a bottle and serve a drink, and politely tries to shake hands with a stranger. Meet the latest ASIMO, Honda's humanoid robot.
“Hello New York! Thank you for coming today!”the little guy chirped in English, the recorded voice of a teenaged boy, at his US debut(亮相) Wednesday in a Manhattan hotel.
Resembling a tiny astronaut, ASIMO—decked out in a white suit and helmet—stands 4 feet three inches (1.3 meters) tall and weighs in at 110 lbs (50 kg).
ASIMO—short for Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility—was designed to help people, potentially in cases of reduced mobility. The first model was unveiled in 2000 after 14 years of research during which scientists studied human movements in an effort to replicate them.
The latest demonstration highlighted the robot's increased flexibility and balance —ASIMO can now jump—as well as body language abilities. It can now also run at a speed of 5.6 miles per hour (9 km/h).
Researchers think that one day it could help the elderly—say by getting a snack or turning the lights off—when their ability to get around is reduced.
“ASIMO was designed to help those in society who need assistance, and Honda believes that these improvements in ASIMO bring us another step closer to our ultimate goal of being able to help all kinds of people in need,” said Satoshi Shigemi, senior chief engineer at Honda R&D Co., Ltd. Japan responsible for humanoid robotics.
“We need to understand what people expect from ASIMO and what people want ASIMO to do.”said Satoshi Shigemi.
28. Why was ASIMO invented?
A. To offer a new toy for kids.
B. To do housework for adults.
C. To show off the advanced technology.
D. To help people with limited mobility.
29. Which one can best describe ASIMO?
A. It looks like an astronaut.
B. It can speak English freely.
C. It can read people’s feelings.
D. It can learn and imitate human movements.
30. From Satoshi Shigemi’s words, we know _________.
A. people in need do nothing to worry
B. more research will be done on ASIMO
C. ASIMO is popular with many consumers
D. ASIMO can help the elderly to turn the lights off
31. What will researchers be most likely to do next about ASIMO?
A. Improve ASIMO at their will.
B. Celebrate what they have done.
C. Make a questionnaire for advice.
D. Apply it to humanoid robotics.
D

- Apply direct pressure with the use of clean and dry cloth until and unless bleeding stops and then get the help of doctor immediately.

Dear Peter,
I’m very happy to receive your email. In your email, you wanted to know why setting off firecrackers is forbidden in some places of our country. Because setting off firecrackers is a Chinese traditional custom during the Spring Festival, many people want to set firecrackers to add pleasure and joy to the festival. But setting off firecrackers does have many disadvantages.
First, it disturbs the others’ normal life. Second, the noise p ollution and air pollution may be greatly increased, which affect people’s rest and life. What's worse, it sometimes causes terrible accidents to children and the property.
So to have a quieter and cleaner environment, I think it’s right to stop setting off firecrackers..
Best wishes.
Yours,

Thunder and lightning create one of the most fascinating shows. But lightning can also be deadly. So if you are caught in a lightning storm what should you do?
It is important to say that no lightning safety rules are 100% safe. If you see that it may be raining in a few minutes, go inside. A typical house is the best place during a thunderstorm.
Nevertheless, even if you are inside your home, there are a number of activities you should avoid. If lightning strikes your home, it takes the easiest route to earth, such as wires, cables and water pipes. That’s why using a telephone, watching television and using a computer can all increase your risk of being struck by lightning.
Besides, you should avoid the path which leads to lightning outside. You have to close the windows and doors and keep away from them and from anything metal – water taps, radiators and metal sinks.
Remember: no place outside is completely safe from lightning. You should avoid high places and high buildings, open fields, isolated trees, open pavilions, and water. A thunderstorm is a very bad time for swimming or boating.
Finally, no matter how exciting the storms are never go outside to enjoy the spectacle.
