35、dict(判决).The 14-year-old was born on a ship in the South Pacific, and currently lives with her father on a boat. When child protection agencies heard about her plan to sail alone, they took the case to court and prevented her from making such a dangerous voyage.Since the decision, though, Laura had

36、been preparing with her father to convince the court that she was ready. Later on, she received the books and other materials she would need for school while she was at sea. She added safety equipment to a new, big ship. And she took her first aid course to learn several survival skills, like how to

37、 put out fires on the boat, take care of her own injuries and deal with lack of sleep. She also planned a safer course - adding alternate routes(备用路径) to avoid pirate attacks, and planning a course that would have her on dry land as she moved from port to port across the globe.Even with all of the a

38、dded preparations, the trip still has its risks. In early June, 16-year-old Abby Sunderland, an American, had to abandon(放弃) her attempt to become the youngest sailor to travel around the world.

43、ssist in moving food from one person to another while dining. This is accomplished through the use of a turntable(转盘), which usually moves the food in a circle when pushed by those at table. In this way, the food never has to be picked up and passed around the table. Instead, it remains in place as

44、the lazy Susan is turned about.A lazy Susan may also be a part of a kitchen cabinet. One may spin the lazy Susan in order to find certain goods stored in it. From the outside, a lazy Susan appears to be two cabinets. When one of these cabinets is pushed, however, both doors move and the lazy Susan i

45、s revealed inside.Whether the lazy Susan is on a tabletop or within a cabinet, it can be made of a variety of materials. Most commonly, a lazy Susan is made of either plastic, wood or glass. Some people believe that Thomas Jefferson invented the lazy Susan, though it was referred to as a dumb waiter

46、(上菜升降架) at that time. It is said that Jefferson invented the lazy Susan because his daughter complained she was always served last at table and, as a result, never found herself full when leaving the table. Others believe that Thomas Edison was the inventor, as he is believed to have invented the tu

47、rntable for his phonograph(留声机), which later developed into the lazy Susan.Regardless of who invented it, it wasnt until 1917 that the term lazy Susan was created in an advertisement for the invention. In Britain, however, the term dumb waiter is still used rather than the term lazy Susan. The reaso

48、n for the name lazy Susan remains a mystery. One theory is that it was named after either Jeffersons or Edisons daughter, both of whom were named Susan.66.

50、7.D. It can be made of many kinds of materials.68. Why did Jeffersons daughter complain she was served last when having meals?A. Because she was too lazy.B. Because she was the youngest.C. Because the table was too tall for her.D. Because the table couldnt move food for her.69. From the passage, we

51、can know that _.A. the lazy Susan was invented earlier than the phonographB. Susan was the name of Jeffersons and Edisons daughterC. Jefferson and Edison invented the lazy Susan at the same timeD.

52、e?A. What is a lazy Susan?B. When was the lazy Susan created?C. Why do inventions come from the daily life?D. How was “dumb waiter” replaced by “lazy Susan”?DSome American parents might think their children need better education to compete with those in China and other countries. But how much do the

53、 parents themselves need to change?A new book called Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother by Amy Chua has caused a debate about cultural differences in parenting. In Chinese culture, the tiger represents strength and power. In the book, Ms. Chua writes about how she demanded excellence from her daughters

54、. She said that she had a clear list of what her daughters, Sophia and Louisa, were not permitted to do, such as attending a sleepover, having a play date, watching TV or playing computer games and getting any grade less than an A. Many people have criticized Amy Chua. Some say her parenting methods

55、 were abusive(辱骂的). She even admits that her husband, who is not Chinese, sometimes objected to her parenting style. But she says that it was the way her parents raised her and her three sisters.Ms. Chua makes fun of her own extreme style of parenting. She says she eased some of the pressure after h

56、er younger daughter rebelled and shouted, “I hate my life! I hate you!”Ms. Chua says she decided to retreat when it seemed like there was a risk that she might lose her daughters. But she also says American parents often have low expectations of their childrens abilities. “One of the biggest differences I see between Western and Chinese parents is that Chinese parents assume strength rather than fragility(脆弱),” she said.“The beginning of this intense discussion has to do with what it means to be a successful parent and what it means to be a successful
