15、e his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worked. “Its an experimental model,” his father had explained, so dont touch it under any circumstances.” But his fathers warning only served to make Mark more curious. Without any further thought, Mark turned on the power switch. The computer
16、burst into life and seconds later, the screen turned into colours, shifting and changing, and then two big white words appeared in the centre of the screen: “SPACE TRANSPORTER.” “Yes!” Mark cried excitedly, “Its a computer game. I knew it! Dads only been pretending to work. Hes really been playing g

AUTO-RETRIEVE INITIATED(自动回收程序已启动).” The screen turn even brighter and a noise suddenly rose in volume. “
18、I think wed better shut it off, Mark,” Jason yelled out in terror, reaching for the power switch. A beam(光束) of dazzling white light burst out of the computer screen, wrapping the boys in its glow(光芒)，until they themselves seemed to be glowing. Then it died down just as suddenly as it had burst into
19、 life. And the boys were no longer there. On the screen, the letters changed：“TRANSPORT SUCCESSFUL DESTINATION: MARS. RETRIEVE DATE: 202526.

23、ersity has come up with another system for the campus bathhouse. It charges students for the amount of time in a shower. Before entering the bathhouse, students pay for the amount of time they want in the shower with cash or their student ID card. The clock starts ticking the minute the tape is turn
24、ed on. It pauses when a button is pressed for soap. An integrated circuit (IC) card reader at each tap shows the time. No money, no water. The benefits of the new system can be seen with the old system, which charged 1 Yuan for each person regardless of time in the shower. The university used about
25、320 tons of water daily under the old system, but only 160 tons now.Many students use the new system but opinions on it are divided. Some students say it is bad because bathing had become a sort of race. Many people using it for the first time are not sure how long they need to shower. Some might be
26、 embarrassed if their time is up and theyre still covered in soap. They have to ask the bathhouse worker to help them buy extra time.“Its a flaw in the system that you can not buy extra time on the ID card,” said Ren, a freshman in Wuhan University. The university is also considering some students s
27、uggestions that they be allowed to pay after theyve finished the shower. Not surprisingly, some are complaining about losing the hour shower. But many students say the move helps them develop a water-saving sense.Without the time limits, most students tended to shower for 30 to an hour in the bathho
28、use. Some even used the hot water to wash their clothes. “In my experience, 1020 minutes is enough,” said Dai Zhihua, a third-year student who usually takes 8 minutes.A similar system has been installed in other universities. Shanghai Normal University introduced it at its Fengxiang Campus in Septem
29、ber. The bathing fee there is 0.2 Yuan per minute. One male student responded by setting a record with a two-minute shower.31. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? A.

32、 by using the new system35. In which column can you find this passage? A. Culture. B. Society. C. Campus Life. D. Lifestyle. CWhen times get tough, we all look for ways to cut back.

33、ans just a few months longer. With college expenses at all-time highs, high school students are eager to do anything to cut the cost of a university education.One cost-cutting proposal is to allow college students to get a bachelors degree in three years instead of four. Educational institutions hav
34、e been actively exploring ways to make the learning process more efficient. But theres a question: Would the quality of undergraduate(本科生)education suffer? Few US universities have formally approved a “three-year degree” model.I doubt that mainstream North American colleges will carry out a three-ye
35、ar curriculum(课程) any time soon. For one thing, most universities already allow highly qualified students to graduate early by testing out of certain classes and obtaining a number of college credits(学分). In addition, at famous universities, the committee who determine which courses are required and
36、 which courses are electives are unlikely to suddenly “throw out” one quarter of the required credits. Professors will resist “diluting(稀释)” the quality of the education they offer.In my opinion, a quality four-year education is always superior to a quality three-year education. A college education
37、requires sufficient time for a student to become skilled in their major and do coursework in fields outside their major. It is not a good idea to water down education, any more than its not a good idea to water down medicine. If we want to help students find their way through university, we should h
38、elp them understand early on what knowledge and skills they need to have upon graduation. We should allow students to test out of as many courses as possible. We should give them a chance to earn money as interns(实习生)in meaningful part-time jobs that relate to their university studies, such as the f

45、arming, they have tried to crossbreed（杂交）plants to make them stronger or better tasting. At one time, only related plants could be crossed with each other But when GM techniques were developed in the 1970s, scientists were able to put a single gene from a living creature into an unrelated creature.
