dinner in a mud hut in ethiopia，where we sat on chairs next to the hostess beda home that had more warmth than any house ive been in since.now john edwards is exploring what makes a house a home in his justreleased(发行)home.the blueprints of our lives.there edwards writes，“this isnt a book about houses；its a book about homes.about the values they rest on，the dreams they are filled with，and the people they have shaped.”edwards writes，“the houses and circumstances are different，but much of what you find inside will be familiar.”whether youre sitting in an airport right now，waiting to fly to your childhood home for thanksgiving，or in your own home waiting for the relatives to arrive，you know what hes talking about.weve lived in our townhouse for 21 years.its home now.the loose windows that shake in the wind.the fireplace so shallow it holds only one log.the kitchen window that offers a view of the world passing by.its where friends sit on the kitchen counter drinking wine while dinner is being fixed.i lived there for only 18 years，but it will always be my true home.even the lamp in the west living room window，which i could see far down the road when driving home late at night，still shines.while all this talk about childhood memories can be warm and comforting，home is whom youre with，not where you are.as edwards writes，“home is family.home is safety.home is faith.”happy homecoming.41according to the author，what makes a house a home?aall the belongings in the house. bfeelings of warmth and comfort.cthe houses and circumstances. ddrinking with friends on the kitchen counter.42about the book home: the blueprints of our lives，we know that _.ait helps us understand the concept(概念)of home bit is mainly about housescit was the description of edwards houses dit was written by the author of the text43what did the author mean when he mentioned the loose windows and the shallow fireplace?ahis house was too old to live in. bhe missed the feeling of home.che hated living there. dhe missed his old friends too much.blanguage is a major problem for the european union(eu)the agreement or treaty(条约) which created the organization that finally became the eu，the treaty of rome，stated that each countrys language must be treated equally.the original(原来的) six countries had only three languages between them：french，german and dutch/flemish.however.there are now 15 countries in the eu，with a total of 12 languages.eu documents must be translated into all these languages，and at official meetings the speeches must be translated into all the languages by interpreters.all this translating is very expensive and timeconsuming(费时的)it is said that nearly half of all employess of the eu are engaged in translating documents and speeches，and nearly half of the eus administrative(管理方面) costs are spent on this task.in the near future it is probable that several more countries，most of them having their own languages，will join the eu，thus making the situation even worse.the problem is not just cost；there are practical difficulties as well.with 12 languages，there are 132 possible “translation situations” that might be needed.it is often difficult to find people in the right place at the right time who can translate from(for example) danish into greek，or dutch into portuguese，at a high professional(专业) standard.in practice the problem has been made less serious by the use of english in many contacts(接触) between eu officials，since almost all of them speak some english.however，any move to reduce the number of official languages (perhaps to four or five) would be a blow to the pride of the smaller countries.another commonly suggested solution is to make english the official language for all eu business.however，this is strongly resisted by powerful member countries like france and germany. 44.the organization that finally became the eu_.awas started by france and germany bstarted with three countriescincluded 132 languages dwas set up by the treaty of rome45whats the main purpose of this passage?a. to find out a problem and show how serious it is b. to give a solution to a problem.c. to criticize the european union for inefficiency(低效率)dto show that the problem cannot be solved.46according to the writer，the use of english in contacts among eu officials has_.aangered the officials who dont speak english blessened the effect of the problem cbeen opposed by powerful member countries dreduced the number of official languages47the writer mentions “danish into greek” as an example of_.aone of the 12 situations that requires an interpreter ba situation that occurs oftenca situation that might be difficult to deal with dlanguages easily being interpretedcthe world itself is becoming much smaller by using modern traffic and modern communication means （通讯设备）.life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. one of the biggest is pollution. to pollute means to make things dirty. pollution comes in many ways. we see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.man has been polluting the earth. the more people, the more pollution. many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. when the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, man moved to another place. but this is no longer true. man is now slowly polluting the whole world.air pollution is still the most serious. its bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. noise pollution makes us angry more easily.many countries are making rules to fight pollution. they stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air.pollution by carbon dioxide is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. it is caused by heavy traffic. it is true that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.the earth is our home. we must take care of it. that means keeping the land, water and air clean. and we must take care of the rise in population at the same time.48. hundreds of years ago, the pollution was _it is today.a. much easier than b.as easy as c. much less than d. as hard as49.our world is becoming much smaller_.a. because science is developing b. because the earth is being polluted day and nightc.because of the rise in population d.because the earth is blown away by the wind every year50.air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution because_.a. it makes much noise b. it does harm to all living things in the worldc.it makes our rivers and lakes dirty d.it makes us angry more easily51.which of the following is not true?a. many countries are making rules to fight against pollutionb.the pollution of the earth grows as fast as the worlds population does.c.if people could go to work by bike it would be helpful against the problem of carbon dioxide.d.the problem of pollution is not so serious because there are not so many people living on the earth.damerican researchers say drinking tea may help strengthen the bodys defense system against infection（感染）. doctors at brigham and womens hospital in boston, massachusetts, did the study. the team studied a chemical found in black, green, oolong and pekoe tea. this chemical is an amino acid（氨基酸）called l-theanine. the scientists say it may increase the strength of gamma delta t cells. thats the letter t, not the drink. gamma delta t cells are part of the bodys defenses.first, the researchers mixed some of these cells with antigens（抗原）found in the amino acid. antigens help the body react to infection. then the scientists added some bacteria（细菌）. within twenty-four hours, the cells produced a lot of interferon, a substance that fights infection. cells not mixed with the antigens did not produce interferon.in the second part of the study, eleven people drank five to six cups of black tea every day. ten other people drank the same amount of instant coffee. that is dried coffee mixed with hot water.two weeks later, and again two weeks after that, the researchers tested the blood of all twenty-one people. they also looked at what happened when they added bacteria to the blood cells. they found that the tea drinkers produced five times more interferon after they started drinking tea. the coffee drinkers did not produce interferon.doctor jack bukowski led the study. he says the antigens added to the gamma delta t cells were responsible for the increased reaction to the bacteria. he says the study also showed that the cells were able to remember the bacteria and fight them again the next time.earlier research already has found that tea can help prevent heart disease and cancer. doctor bukowski says the new study must be repeated with more people. if the findings prove to be true, he says, then tea drinking might also help protect against bacterial infections. he says the amino acid l-theanine could be removed from tea and used as a drug to strengthen the bodys defenses.52tea may help strengthen the bodys defense system because it helps _.athe body to produce more interferon bthe body to produce more gamma delta t cellscto add some bacteria to the blood cells dto mix antigens with some of the cells in the body53we may know from the text that _ can be found in

acid l-theanine from tea and made a drug with itcthe findings of the study have already proved to be truedfurther study is needed to prove the findings true55what would be the best title for this
