My grandfather often said"I won't"to show his dislike of dishonesty （不诚实）. When he was young, he worked 1 a furniture（家具） maker. One day, a neighbor invited him to make some furniture. When arriving, he noticed the wood provided was a little 2 , so he said, "I won't start right away." He chose to let the wood dry for a month. He knew working with we t wood could cause 3 later on.
Around the same time, another furniture maker was also asked for a 4 job by a different family. Unlike my grandfather, he 5 working right away. As a result, the neighbor started doubting my grandfather, thinking he was trying to make more money by 6 the work. However, my grandfather waited 7 . He wanted the best quality for the furniture he was making.
A month later, the other furniture maker received his 8 and went back home. My grandfather began to 9 strong and beautiful furniture when the wood was completely dry. A few months passed and the furniture made by that maker began to break. The neighbor then regretted 10 my grandfather and said sorry to him. People came to understand his 11 and skill, spreading his fame far and wide.
Influenced by my grandfather, my father also follows the 12 of "I won't". He always provides the freshest food, which makes his restaurant very 13 in town. Once a trade r wanted to sell some cheap but smelly seafood to my father, he said "No!" and stopped the 14 .

Jane, a reporter, is collecting information for the local newspaper. She is interested in the following things introduced in a magazine.
Smart Schoolbag
Forget to pack the books you need into your schoolbag in the morning rush?
A schoolboy aged 11 has invented a schoolbag. It tells you which books to pack. A small computer and a scanner （扫描装置） are fixed in the bag. As each book is put into the bag; it is checked by the scanner. If any book is missing, a message will be shown on the computer screen to remind you.
Weather Sweets
Can you eat weather? A university makes that happen. It uses a 3D printer to create sweets based on the weather information of a certain day.
The shapes of the sweets are affected by wind speed. The colors of the sweets are decided by temperature. The sweets act as a weather record of the day when they are made.
Sunrise Bed
It's hard for you to get up in the morning, isn't it? To help you get up, a company has created a "tool "—sunrise bed.
It wakes you up gently as a sunrise does. Lights built into the bed turn on and start to get brighter and brighter. When the lights are fully on, soft music will begin to play. It will be louder and louder until you turn it off. The company explains, "The gentle light tells your body that it is morning, so it stops producing a chemical that helps you sleep."
"Every year over 30 percent of the food in the world goes to waste," says the FAO （联合国粮食及农业组织）. To stop food waste, people have come up with the great ideas.
①The world's first food bank started in the US in 1967. People and shops give out their extra food to a place, and others in need go there to eat it, Shanghai has made a"share fridge"in the street. It stores（贮藏） cakes and food given by nearby markets and restaurants. It's free for anyone to enjoy.
②The Real Junk Food Project is a company（公司） in the UK. It says that food past it ssell-by date could still be OK to eat. So they collect such food from supermarkets, and put it on shelves in special cafes. There, the food has no price notes. If you don't want to spend money, you can help do some work there.
③Dining halls in more than half of the US colleges are going tray-less（无托盘）. That means nowhere to put extra dishes. It makes it harder for students to take too much. This small change brings a big difference.
a. Buy less b. Food bank c. Cook less food d. Pay as you feel
What did people do to communicate in ancient times? Here are some very interesting answers to this question.
Alphorns（阿尔卑斯长号角） were once used to communicate in the mountains in Switzerland. They are very long and they are very heavy, too. So, alphorns are hard work to blow. Then why use them? Well, they make a loud sound which travels much further than the human voice. Herdsmen（牧民） used them to call cows in the distance for milking. At sunset, alphorns were also used to send a message down to villagers that all was well. These days, they're mostly used as musical instruments.
The people of La Gomera, an island in Europe, have their own special way of sending messages from mountain to mountain. They use a whistled（口哨） language called el silbo, which comes from their language Spanish. Whistling can be heard within five kilorneters, which means it can be used across much greater distances than shouting. El silbo can be used for all kinds of messages, including greetings and announcements. El silbo is used a lot less than it used to be, but primary school students in La Gomera have to leave it.
Did you know it 's also possible to send messages without making a noise? This is called visual communication, and it includes the use of flags and even smoke. Long ago, soldiers along the Great Wall of China used smoke as a warning. If they noticed the enemy from their signal（信号） tower, they lit a smoky fire. When soldiers in other towers saw the smoke signal, they lit fires, too. In this way, messages about the enemy's arrival could travel as far as 800 km in just a few hours.
Mobile phones are very important to our modern life. For example, we needn't go to the supermarket because we can buy things on mobile phones. There will be no more books because we will be able to get all the text from mobile phones. Even most telephone calls can be made by mobile phone apps, too.
Some people are happy about these new ways of shopping and communicating. Let's take books for example. Some people think that one day they will not read books made of paper. They will read the text on mobile phones. They will keep many different books in them at the same time. They won't need to turn lots of pages and paper will be saved. Those books which are called e-books will be used more and more.
Many people don't think so. They feel happier to go into shops and look at things they want to buy. It is also unlikely that all the people will want to read the text on mobile phones. Maybe mobile phones won't change these two traditional habits.
A. In fact, mobile phones have already been used to order food. B. Is Internet shopping such a pleasure as going to the shops? C. Instead, they will buy and read books by using mobile phones. D. Many people believe that mobile phones will replace our computers. E. All the people like reading the text on mobile phones. F. There are many facts indicating that mobile phones will be widely used in our daily life. G. Because e-books are bad for people's eyes, while paper books can be friendlier. |
