After being greeted by a woman, I explained my predicament. She immediately asked me to show her the broken blade. Out of nowhere, a man who looked to be in his 6os came out He asked to see the blade and then disappeared into the sbop, He came back with a blade but it did not look the same as what I had in my hand. We compared the two blades and he said that it might work. I asked him how much it was, He told me that he had taken the blade off an old fan tha someone had brought in for repair, He said, "It didn't cost me anything, so why should1 charge you for it?" That really touched me. I took the blade home and it worked perfectly My daughters got a "new" fan for nothing When I told my wife(almost in her 6os) this story, she said this reminded her of the kind aunties and uncles who used to run small shops and were always ready to help others when she was growing up. 24.

But American researchers have found that a roller coaster ride just might help those suffering from a kidney stone. They say such rides help patients pass the stones with a 70 percent success rate. David Wartinger led the study, He found that where the person sits on the roller coaster can make a big difference. He said, "In the pilot study, sitting in the last car of the roller coaster showed about a 64 percent success rate, while sitting in the first few cars only had a 16 percent success rate." When it comes to passing kidney stones, not all roller coasters are equal. The researchers used 174 kidney stones of different shapes, sizes and weights to see if each model worked on the same ride and on two other roller coasters. They found that Big Thunder Mountain was the only one that worked. The other two roller coasters both failed the test. Wartinger said the other rides were too fast and too violent. The movement forced the stones against the side of the kidney. He said that the ideal roller coaster is rough and quick with some twists and turns. It also mattered where the stones were located in the kidney. The researchers found that stones located in the upper part of the kidney model were passed 1oo percent. 【高二年级期中考试·英语卷 第4页(共8页)】 5171B Wartinger thinks roller coaster rides could really be used as an effective measure. He said that a yearly ride on a roller coastet could even prevent stones from developing,"You need to heed(注意) the warnings before going on a roller coaster," he said. "If you have a kidney stone, but are otherwise healthy and meet the requirements of the ride, you can absolutely try it” He adds that it's definitely a lower cost alternative to other treatments. And riding a roller coaster is definitely more mteresting! 28. What might passing kidney stones be like? A.Quick. B. Exciting. C. Uncofortable D. Erjoyable 29. Which is useful to the roller coaster treatment? A. Sitting in the first car of a roller coaster. B. The stone forced against the side of the kidney. C. The stone located in the lower part of the kidney D. Riding rough and fast roller coasters with twists and turns 30. What's probably the advantage of riding a roller coaster? A. It can prevent the development of kidney stones. B. It can help anyone besides those with kidney stones. C. It can prevent danger because of its effective warning. D. It can apply to everyone with kidney stones effectively. 31. What is Wartinger's attitude towards roller coasters for people having a kidney stone? B. Favorable. C. Doubtful. A.Unclear. D. Disapproving. D You probably take many steps to protect your computer from getting a virus, but what about your cell phone? Cell phones are basically mini-computers, so, believe it or not, they too can get viruses. “Viruses and malware(恶意软件) should not be a major concern to the average consumer who uses their device to make phone calls, take pictures, and download a few well-known apps from the major app marketplaces," Tim Katsch Vice President of iDropped said. "If a user is downloading a lot of apps, changing and exploring settings within the device, and visiting a large number of websites from unknown sources, virus and malware protection should be kept on their mind." If your phone gets a virus it can mess up your data, put random charges on your bill, and get private information such as your bank account number credit card information, passwords, and your location. The most common way that you could get a virus on your phone would be through downloading an infected app. Viruses can also get on your phone when you click on strange links or open up an email that contains a virus. Connecting to an unsecured wireless network in a public place is also a way for hackers(黑客) to get private information from your device. If you're still convinced that your phone might get a virus, there are anti-virus apps that you can download that will constantly scan your phone to make sure it hasn't developed a virus. Apps like these will also check things before you download them to ensure that they are safe. Another tip is to always look over your cell phone bill every month to make sure there aren't charges from apps that you never downloaded Technology is getting smarter, but so are hackers, and it's important to always be cautious with anything you do on your phone. Many people store a lot of personal information on their phones, and while that might make life a little more convenient, it can also do a lot of damage if hacked. 【高二年级期中考试·英语卷 第5页(共8页)) 5171B 32. What can we lcarn from Tim Katsch's words? A. The wircless network in the public places is safe to use B. Viruses and malware will most probably attack average phones. C. Downloading a lot of apps will protcct your phone from being hacked. D. The average consumer needn't worry much about a virus or malware 33. What's the most common way that your phone gets a virus?
