Lost Cat Returned to Owner 12 Years Later
April 3, 2014—Linda Edwards of Las Vegas, Nevada is full of happiness because her long lost cat Spaz has been returned to her—12 years after he first went missing！
Spaz first went missing in 2002 and Edwards looked for him every day for three months. She searched all around her town and even wrote letters to some newspapers for help and was never able to find him. At the end of the three months, on New Year's Eve of 2002 her searching stopped.
But someone recently discovered a dirty, thin stray cat (流浪猫)and took him into a West Flamingo Animal Hospital. The people working in the hospital checked the cat and were sure enough that his name was Spaz and he belonged to Edwards!
“An old lady found a kitty on Sunday and brought him here. We scanned (扫描)him for a microchip (微芯片)and we were able to find out his owner. The kitty, whose name is Spaz, has been missing for 12 years!” the animal hospital wrote on their Facebook page early last week.
Microchipping pets is a way to recognize if a stray animal belongs to anyone who could be missing them. Microchipping pets allows animal services to learn if they have a family waiting for them. Microchips are only about the size of a grain of rice and can only be removed by operation. Edwards is very thankful she had Spaz microchipped and was so excited to get him back ！ “I feel like I have a second chance,” she said. \"This would have never happened if it weren't for microchips.” 50. The cat got lost ____.
A. three months ago B. 12 years ago C. on April 3, 2014 D. on New Year's Eve, 2002 51. After the hospital checked the cat, they knew ____.
A. its feeling B. its hobby C. its stray life D. its owner's name 52. ____ make(s) it possible for owners to find their lost pets.
A. The microchip B. Animal hospitals C. The newspaper D. Family members

Imagine having an idea, drawing it on paper, bringing it to a store and seeing it turned into an object. This is now possible with the help of 3D printers. Such machines were once used just by universities and big companies, but now, stores with 3D printing services are appearing around the United States.
Bryan Jaycox and his wife opened The Build Shop LLC in Los Angeles two years ago. The Jaycoxs offer 3D printing classes and services for anyone who is interested.
“I think 3D printing is going to be huge. It’s going to have a huge influence on society as a whole.” says KiChong Tran, one of the students in a recent class. He plans to open a 3D printing business in Cambodia (柬浦寨).
3D printing services are coming into American people's life. The UPS Store is a nationwide retailer (零售商)that provides copying and other services. The UPS Store recently put 3D printers in three of its independently-owned stores. Burke Jones owns one of the stores in San Diego.
“The need has been amazing. There has been a lot of interest from people. It's been much more than I would have imagined. ”
The UPS Store plans to add 3D printers in three more stores.
For $ 11, someone used a 3D printer to produce two small plastic parts as part of a knuckle (指节) for a hand. He works for the company which is testing prosthesis (假肢) He says the same-day or next-day printing services will speed up testing of parts and get them to patients faster.
Staples, an American store, are selling 3D printers on its website for as low as about $ 1,300. As with any technology—experts expect the printing speed to increase and the price to go down.
Bryan Jaycox asks for $ 15 an hour to print an object. He also sets the price depending on the size of the object and up to $ 50 an hour for design and labor services.
Mr. Jaycox thinks that within five years, 3D printing technology could become more user friendly. But KiChong Tran says even today's technology can make a difference in a developing country like Cambodia.
\"With 3D printing you can give them tools, so they are responsible more for their own development and they learn skills beyond just like learning English and becoming a tour guide or something like that. You can actually create things that give value to the world. ”
He says it's not just Cambodia but anywhere where there is a 3D printer, it can turn a good idea into reality. 56. What can 3D printers do according to the passage?
A. Come up with an idea. B. Draw on a piece of paper. C. Help users reduce the cost. D. Turn an idea into an object. 57. What does the underlined part mean in this passage?
A. Make users' life better. B. Make friends with users.
C. Make 3D printers easy to use. D. Use 3D printers to make money. 58. What can we infer from the passage?
A. 3D printing is becoming popular in the world. B. There is no 3D printing business in Cambodia. C. The UPS Store is the biggest 3D printing company. D. 3D printing plays the most important role in daily life. 59.What's the passage mainly about?
A. The future of 3D printing in the world. B. The 3D printing business in Cambodia.
C. The development and growth of 3D printing business. D. The 3D printing classes and services in different places. 七、阅读短文, 根据短文内容, 从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。(共8分,每小题2分)

It was early evening on September 14th. Glen James, a homeless man was passing by a store in Boston when he happened upon a black bag. To see whose the bag is, Glen opened it only to find that it was filled with money—$2,400 in cash and almost $40,000 in travelers checks, as well as, a passport and other papers.
While other people in similar situations would have been tempted (引诱), Glen who has been homeless since
2005, did not even think twice. He showed the bag to a police officer, and the police officer gave it back to a Chinese tourist who had reported it lost. What Glen did was reported by newspapers, all over the country.
While most people that read it felt surprised at the man's honesty, 27-year-old Ethan Whittington thought Glen should get money for what he did. So he decided to set up a money collection website. He set a goal of $50,000, which he believed was reasonable because it was more than what Glen had discovered in the bag. The marketing manager from Virginia thought he would be lucky to raise a few hundred dollars. Instead, within just a day, the website had gone over the $50,000 goal, encouraging Ethan to set a higher goal of $250,000 so that he could help Glen buy a house and start a new life.
Now, $113,000 has been raised. Ethan who has talked to Glen over the phone, plans to visit Boston soon and also help him manage the money wisely. Needless to say, the homeless man is surprised at what he is receiving for doing the right thing—Honesty, certainly pays off! 64.Did Glen find money in the black bag?

66.What did Ethan decide to do after he read the news of Glen?

I’m glad to hear from you. The best time to come to Beijing is during the spring. The weather is not too hot or too cold, so it is the perfect time of the year to be outside. During the spring in Beijing everything seems fresh and new. I advise you to visit the Summer Palace, the Great Wall, and the Temple of Heaven. The Great Wall is one of the wonders of the world and it is an amazing place to visit. The summer Palace and The Temple of Heaven are beautiful too. There are royal buildings, fantastic artwork, and scenic views for people to enjoy.
Before you come to Beijing, you should know that Beijing is a very crowded and big city. So it is necessary for you to travel with a map and you must be patient about waiting in line or large crowds. I hope you will have a nice trip. Yours, Li Ming
