Thomas Edison lit up the world with his invention of the electric light. Without him, the world might still be in the dark at night. However, the electric light was not his only invention. Nearly every two weeks, he created something new.
Thomas Edison was born in 1847. He attended school for only three months. His mother taught him at home, but he was mostly self-educated. He started trying out his new ideas at a very young age.
When he was 12 years old, he got his first job. He became a newsboy on a train. He did experiments on the train in his spare t ime. Unluckily, his first work experience didn't end well. He was fired when he accidentally set fire to the floor of the train. Then Edison worked as a telegraph operator (电报员) for five years, but he continued to spend much of his time creating things until the vote recorder (投票计数器), his first invention, came in 1868.
Thomas Edison was nearly deaf in one ear, but he never minded. Because of this, he could have more time for work. He always worked 16 out of every 24 hours. Sometimes his wife had to remind him to eat and sleep. Thomas Edison died at the age of 84. He left many inventions that greatly improved the quality of life all over the world.

Every school has rules for students to follow. But what happens when students break the rules?
In the UK, when students don’t behave well at school, they will be given a warning. But if they go on behaving badly, like talking over the teacher, they’ll be punished (惩罚). And there are a lot of ways for students to be punished!
Generally speaking, there are five punishments in UK schools: detention, isolation education unit (IEU), supervision, suspension and expulsion.
If you receive a detention, you’ll find yourself sitting in a room with your teacher during break, lunch or even worse, after school. The longest time for a detention is two hours. Depending on how naughty you’ve been, you can get two detentions in one day!
If you get IEU, you’re isolated（隔离）from other students. And you have to stay in a room all day to complete your lessons.
Supervision means that you cannot take part in PE lessons. In other classes, a teacher will always keep an eye on you while you sit at the front of the class. It can make students very uncomfortable. Suspension means you cannot go to school for a certain amount of time.
The most seri ous punishment you can ever receive is expulsion. You can’t go to the school any more. You’ll have to find another school to go to, and it will be on your school record.
44. Wha t’s the Chinese meaning of “expulsion”?
A. 隔离
B. 留校查看
C. 开除
D.警告

A. in the teacher’s office
B. at the front of the class
C. in a room all day with tasks
D. at school after classes are over

A. a detention
B. a supervision
C. a suspension
D. an expulsion

Can you imagine a pair of shoes that could tie themselves? All you would have
to do is put them on and push a button. Well, this idea is becoming a reality. The shoe company Nike created the self-tying shoe!
This idea first came from the movie Back to the Future II, and Nike has been working for years to create a shoe that can do this in real life. They have finally done it with Nike Hyper Adapt 1.0.
All the wearer has to do is put them on, and at first, the shoes are very loose. But then you can push the “+” button, and the shoes will tighten to be the perfect
fit for the wearer. To take them off, all you have to do is push the “–” button, and the shoes will easily slide off.
But the shoes are battery charged, and for someone who uses them quite often, they need to be charged every two weeks, according to USA Today.
Cristiano Ronaldo, a professional soccer player from Portugal, was a special athlete who got to test the shoes out for himself. He said on the social media site Instagram, “Wow! Thanks @nike for letting me be the first athlete in the world to
try the new HyperAdapt 1.0.”
They haven’t been sold to the public yet, and the cost of the shoes is still unknown. But you might be able to get a pair of your own closer to the holiday season
this year.
52. Which is TRUE about the self-tying shoe?
A. People should push a button before wearing them.
B. A movie first came up with the idea of self-tying shoes.
C. Nike has worked for a year to make it.
D. It has been out for years.
53. To make the self-tying shoe work, which of the followings should be the first
step?
A. Put the shoes on.
B. Charge the battery.
C. Press the “+” b utton.
D. Push the “–” button.
54. What does the underlined phrase “slide off” mean in Paragraph 4?
A. put off
B. become tight
C. put the laces on
D. move out of something
55. What do we know from the last two paragraphs?
A. Nike chose an athlete to test out the new shoes.
B. The shoes are on sale to the public.
C. The cost of the shoes is quite high.
D. People can only buy them during the holiday season.
