6.Thomas Alva Edison was an American inventor,scientist and businessman who invented many things that greatly influenced life around the world,such as the phonograph,the motion picture camera,and a long-lasting,practical electric light bulb.Edison has been recognized as the creator of the first industrial research laboratory.It is he who came up with the concept of providing electricity for home.His first power station was on Manhattan Island,New York.
Edison was born in Milan,Ohio,and grew up in Port Huron,Michigan.He was the seventh and last child of his family.When he was young,Edison stayed at home and was taught by his mother.Edison recalled later,"My mother was the making of me.She was so true,so sure of me; and I felt I had someone to live for,someone I must not disappoint."During his childhood,he suffered from scarlet fever which affected his hearing.
Young Edison sold candy and newspapers on trains running from Port Huron to Detroit,and he sold vegetables to supplement his income.These jobs,though insignificant,inspired him greatly.He realized that he had a talent for business.These talents eventually made him founder of 14 companies,including General Electric,which is still in existence and is the largest publicly traded company in the world.
Edison started as a telegraph operator and this was the field in which he came up with the first invention.The invention which first gained him fame was the phonograph in 1877.The invention seemed magical,as nothing similar had ever been thought of before.Funded by the successful sale of the telegraph at a price of $10,000,Edison built his own research laboratory in Menlo Park,New Jersey.
The laboratory expanded rapidly over the decade.In 1892,it was confirmed that Edison was the official inventor of the carbon microphones,which was used in all telephones.Although he attempted to make use of X-rays to take radiographs,he quit the project and admitted his fear of X-rays in public.
Thomas Edison died of diabetes at his home in New Jersey,on October 18,1931 and in honor of his contributions,Life magazine (USA),in a special double issue in 1997,placed Edison first in the list of the"100 Most Important People in the Last 1000 Years",noting that the light bulb he promoted"lit up the world".

17.China and Japan are respectively the world's secondand third largest economies.In 2008,China-Japan trade grew to 266.4 billion,a rise of 12.5 percent on 2007,making China and Japan the top two-way trading partners.China was also the biggest destination for Japanese exports in 2009.
The relationship between China and Japan has been strained at times by Japan's refusal to acknowledge its wartime past to the satisfaction of China.China joined other Asian countries,such as South Korea,North Korea and Singapore,in criticizing Japanese history textbooks that whiten Japanese war crimes in World War II.They claimed that the rise of militarism became evident in Japanese politics.Much anti-Japanese emotion has risen,because of the increasing feelings of Chinese nationalism and former Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi's visits to the Yasukuni Shrine(靖國(guó)神社).Although Koizumi openly declared---in a statement made on April 22,2005 in Jakarta---"deep regret"over Japan's wartime crimes,many Chinese observers regard the apology as insufficient and not consistent with the action.
Sino-Japan relations changed slightly after Shinzo Abe became the Prime Minister of Japan in September 2006,and a joint historical study conducted by China and Japan released a report in 2010 which pointed toward new agreement on the issue of World War II-era violent action.
However,there also remains the dispute(分歧) over the Diaoyu Islands,which resulted in clashes between Taiwanese (Chinese) protesters and the Japanese government in April 2005.The incident led to anti-Japanese protests and violence across Mainland China,from Beijing to Shanghai,later Guangzhou,Shenzhen and Shenyang.In August 2012,Hong Kong activists landed on one of the disputed Diaoyu Islands,and Japanese nationalists responded by landing on the island the following week.The incidents set off the largest-scale anti-Japanese protests in China for decades in which protesters vandalized(破環(huán))Japanese shops and cars.On the 14th of September relations worsened even further in response to Japan's announcement of plans to buy the island from its private owners.The news resulted in the Chinese government sending six surveillance(監(jiān)視) ships to the islands and further anti-Japanese protests in which protesters attacked the Japanese embassies in Shanghai and Beijing.

35.The underlined word"strained"in Paragraph 2 means"C"in English.
A.normal                    
B.stable               
C.tense                
D.unchanged 
36.Which of the following is true about China-Japan relations?D
A.China and Japan relations are worsening all the time.
B.Junichiro Koizumi's apology improved their relations.
C.There is no dispute on the World War II-era violence any more.
D.The dispute over Diaoyu islands caused more than one anti-Japan protests in China.
37.What was the Chinese government's response to Japan's plans to buy Diaoyu islands?C
A.It sent activists to Diaoyu islands.
B.It attacked the Japanese embassies.
C.It sent surveillance ships to the islands.
D.It vandalized Japanese shops and cars.
38.Which of the following can improve the Sino-Japan relations?B
A.Strengthening their economic tie.
B.Reaching an agreement on their disputes.
C.Stopping vandalizing Japanese shops and cars.
D.Shinzo Abe becoming Japanese prime minister.

Be smart about advertisements!
People cannot get away from advertisements which promise cheap goods and free gifts.Last week,I read an advertisement for a sale.Seeing the attractive prices for the goods,I couldn't help driving to the supermarket.As the advertisement said,most of the things there were much cheaper than usual.In no time,I filled two baskets with ten bars of soap,two very nice-looking kitchen knives and so on.When my husband got home and saw all the things I bought,he asked me to think about what I needed all these things for.There was already enough soap at home,and there were already two knives in the kitchen drawer.I think I should be smart about advertisements in future and not be tricked by them.
