Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案)(共6分)Students across China, studying in the fields of engineering, science and technology, are developing a lot of inventions. Here are three examples from the minds of China’s young inventors.Foot Controlled MouseThis new kind of mouse is controlled by the feet instead of the hands, to helpdisabled people when surfing the Internet.The new invention is called a “surf mouse”, and looks like a pair of blueslippers. When users press the slippers with their forefeet, they are clicking theleft mouse button; when people press with their heels, they are clicking the right mouse; when they roll their feet over the slippers, they can surf Web pages.Dirty Water FilterThe “pump of life”, a filter, can make dirty water drinkable. The pump is over 30 centimeters long. It has an in-pipe at the top and out-pipe at the end. There are two main parts: the drive zone to pump water and the material zone to eliminate harmful things. Rain fish tank water and coalmine water can all be cleaned in the material zone. The invention could be used for many kinds of disaster relief. The inventor of the filter told us that water was delivered by helicopters to Wenchuan in 2008. If the water-purifying equipment had been sent instead, people could have had more water faster after the earthquake.Transformer V ehicleThe multi-functional vehicle is named Tranfus. By changing the breadth(宽度) of tires and the structure of a car, it can become a motorbike or a luggagecarrier. The name Tranfus is a short form of “transforming for us”.Traffic jams can make a driver go crazy. The Tranfus can change into aluggage carrier, and users could walk with it. When started, the roof transforms, turning into a motorbike. But its inventor doesn’t think Tranfus will be on the market soon as some auto companies like it, but none are willing to invest.1.

My six children were 10, nine, eight, six, three and 18 months, and I was overwhelmed with the responsibilities of earning a living, caring for the children and simply keeping my head above water.I was fortunate to find a wonderful housekeeper to care for the children during the week, but from Friday nights to Monday mornings, the children and I were alone, and frankly I was uneasy. Every unusual noise or any late-night phone call filled me with fear. I felt incredibly alone.One Friday evening I came home from work to find a big beautiful German shepherd(牧羊犬) on our doorstep. It was obvious he wanted to make the house his home. The children took an instant liking to "German" and begged me to let him in. I agreed to let him sleep in the basement until the next day. That night I slept peacefully for the first time in many weeks.The following morning we made phone calls and checked lost-and-found ads for German’s owner, but with no results. Saturday night he was still with us.On Sunday I had planned to take the children on a picnic. Since I thought it best to leave German behind in case his owner came by, we drove off without him. When we stopped to get gas at a local station, we were amazed to see German racing to the gas station after us. He stayed again Sunday night.Monday morning I let him out for a run while the children got ready for school. He didn't come back. We thought we'd never see him again. On Friday evening, German was back again. We took him in, and again he stayed until Monday morning, when our housekeeper arrived. It went like this for almost 10 months. We looked forward to his coming each Monday morning he left home.Each week, between German's visits, I grew a little braver, but every weekend I enjoyed his company. Then one Monday morning we patted his head and let him out for what turned out to be the last time. He never came back.（1）What does the underlined part in the first paragraph mean?A . trying to keep calm in publicB . trying to get attention from other menC . showing her high spirit in the face of troubleD . managing to continue to live（2）When the author's husband died, ______.A . she couldn't raise the six children on her ownB . she couldn't relax on the weekendsC . The housekeeper only came on weekendsD . she was too busy to feel lonely（3）Which of the following is Wrong according to the article?A . German was fond of living with the family.B . The writer felt safe and protected with German aroundC . The dog stayed until the writer was strong enough to go on alone.D . The writer was too busy that weekend to go find the dog’s owner.（4）Which is the best title for the passage?A . A homeless dogB . A friend's strengthC . How to keep a dogD . Keep up when in trouble五、补全对话。
