In today's world of mobile phones, MP3 players and mini computers, most people have at least one time－telling tool with them. Since these small machines are so common, will people stop wearing the 500－year－old watches? According to some people, yes. A teenager says it's unnecessary to wear a watch. Many young people agree and use their mobile phones to tell time. Louis Galie, a president, said that fewer young people wear watches today than five years ago.

However, watchmakers say that watches get popular again when people reach their 20s and 30s. By then, they want to spend money on a nice time－telling tool which doesn't just keep good time. For this reason, the watch industry has become an accessory business(配件業(yè)) in recent years.

Today's watches offer a lot of uses that meet the need of almost any personality(個(gè)性). They can be used as compasses(指南針), calendars, and even USB drives...

People are always trying their best to create new kinds of watches. A certain watchmaker business makes watches that don't even look like watches. Their popular model uses different color lights to tell the time. Another watchmaker business, makes a “handless” watch, using a ring of circles to keep time. This watch makes people talk a lot about modern watches.

Whether a watch expresses fashion sense, creative ability or a love for sports, people want their time－telling tools to be beautiful, fashionable and practical. All in all, a watch has become more important than the time it tells.

The Earth is faced with a serious power problem now and all of us are affected by it. Should we leave everything to the government, or can we do something to save power? The answer is clear: if not us, who? Let us look at how you can save power at home.

Computer: More often than not, we do not turn off our monitors (顯示屏) even after we have shut down our computers. And we often leave our computers on when we walk away to do something else. Keep the monitor and the computer switched off when you are not using them. Start doing this even when at work. You will help save some of the earth’s important power.

Air Conditioning: Put the temperature at the minimum or maximum strongest that you are comfortable with, depending on the season. Try not to put it at too-high or too-low temperatures. This helps you save lots of power.

Washers: Do you use your washing machine as frequently as you wish? Do you use your washing machine even when there are not many clothes to wash? Reduce the times of washing by cleaning plenty of clothes every time.

Television: Unplug (拔出插頭) the power plug of your television set when not using it. This may not sound like a big deal but this little step will help oneself save power.

Fridge: Do you always put hot food into the fridge? Bring cooked food to room temperatures before placing it into the fridge. You can also spare power by bringing cold or frozen food out of the icebox a great deal ahead of the mealtime. Thus, you don’t need to heat it.

1.The underlined part in the first paragraph means “________”.

A. If we don’t use power, who will use it?

B. The government should be responsible for saving power.

C. If it is necessary to save power, who will do it?

D. Everyone should do something to save power.

2.The writer thinks we often waste power by not turning off ________.

A. computers and monitors B. air conditioners

C. washing machines D. television sets

3.According to the writer, we’d better ________.

4.The best title for the passage is “________”.

A. How to live green B. How to buy electrical products

C. How to be safe at home D. How to save money

Henry was an office worker in a big city. He worked very hard and enjoyed traveling in his holidays.

He usually went to the seaside, but one year he saw an advertisement in a newspaper. “Enjoy country life. Spend a few weeks at West Hill Farm. Good food. Fresh air. Horse riding. Walking. Fishing. Cheap and interesting.”

“This sounds a good idea,” he thought. “I’ll spend a month at West Hill Farm. I think I can enjoy horse riding, walking and fishing. They’ll make a change from sitting by the seaside and swimming.”

He wrote to the farmer. In the letter he said that he would like to spend all of July there. Then on the first of July, he left for West Hill Farm.

“Well,” he said, “the first day I was there a sheep died, and we had roast mutton for dinner.”

“What’s wrong with that?” Ed asked. “Fresh meat is the best.”

“I know, but on the second day a cow died, and we had roast beef for dinner.”

“Lucky you!”

“You don’t understand,” Henry said. “On the third day a pig died and we had roast pork for dinner.”
