13、Rita stepped into the cool, moving water. She pushed a black inner tube in front of her. She had a worried look on her face because she had never floated down a river before.

Have you ever wanted to grow your own food inside your home? Scientists in Finland have developed a device(设备) that may do just that.
Unlike a usual vegetable garden, it doesn’t need soil. But, the small device, called the Cell Pod, grows plant cells which are safe to eat in the home.
Lauri Reuter, a biologist, says that instead of using the complete plant as food, scientists take only a small part of it–cells–and grow them in a bio-reactor(生物反应器). These plants have much of the same nutritional(营养的) value that a real plant has. The plant cells which are safe to eat, once fully grown, do not look very good. The Finnish researchers say they also need to improve the taste. However, the Cell Pod can provide important things that help your body to be healthy.
Lauri Reuter adds that the new technology will not be instead of fields for growing fruits and vegetables. However, the device could help save natural resources. All you would need to do is add the seed culture(培养物) to the device, give it water, sit back and then wait. The machine does the rest of the work.
The researchers hope to have a form of the Cell Pod on the market in the next ten years.
1．If you want to grow vegetables inside your home, you need __________.
A．real plants and water B．the seed culture and the Cell Pod
C．the cells and the soil D．the complete plant and the device
2．What can we learn from the passage?
A．The plant cells are more delicious than the real plants.
B．People will not grow fruit and vegetables in the fields.
C．The plant cells are not only healthy but good-looking.
D．People may buy the Cell Pod on the market in the future.
3．What does the writer think of the Cell Pod?
A．It is a usual vegetable garden at home.
B．It is a new useful device for growing food.
C．It is a difficult way of growing plants.
D．It can provide all the nutrition for our body.

15、Once upon a time there was no tea at all in England. People there used to drink a light beer. No coffee or milk but large glasses of beer stood on the breakfast table！
When tea was first brought to England, an old couple got some as a special treat. But they did not know how it should be used. They cooked the leaves in hot water, and spread them on a piece of bacon(培根) which they were going to have for dinner. They ate the leaves, and threw the tea away! However, tea is becoming as popular as coffee and milk in England today.
Tea is the leaf of a plant which grows widely in China, Japan and some other countries. Tea farmers usually grow a great many tea plants on a large piece of land. When the tea leaves are ready to be picked, it is the busiest time for tea farmers in a year. They pull off the leaves and dry them. In their spare time, they pick out the best leaves and get them ready for market. In China, whenever a visitor comes into a house, he is served with a cup of tea.

16、 You can not see any object unless light from that object gets into your eyes. Some of the things you see give off light of their own. The sun, the stars, a lighted lamp are examples that can be seen by their own light. Such things are luminous. Most of the things you see are not giving off light of their own. They are simply reflecting light that falls on them from the sun or some other luminous bodies. The moon, for example, does not give off any light of its own. It is non-luminous. You see it because sunlight falls on it and some of it reflects in our direction. So moon light is only second hand sunlight.
When you look at a book, it sends to your eyes some of the light which falls on it, and you see the book. If light could be kept out from where you are so that there would be no light for the book to reflect, then you could not see the book even with your eyes wide open.
Light travels so fast that the time in which it travels from the book you are reading to your eyes is so short as if there were no time at all. Light reaches us from the moon, which is about 380 000 kilometers away, in only a little more than a second.
1．You can see the book because_______.
A．your eyes are close to it B．it reflects some of the sunlight
C．it has light of its own D．your eyesight can get to it
2．The underlined word “luminous” means_______.
A．visible B．all colors C．giving off light D．sunlight
3．Light traces about _________ kilometers per second.
A．380 000 B．300 000 C．400 000 D．190 000
4．Which of the following is true?
A．The moment you open your eyes the light from the book travels to your eyes.
B．Light from the book is much shorter than that from the moon.
C．All the things you can see give off light.
D．Light travels so fast that there is no time for you to read.
5．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．You can see and read a book because you open your eyes.
B．Some objects are luminous, some not.

18、This dictionary tells you about English words and how to use them in reading, writing and speaking English. It gives the meaning of words, and it can help you with spelling, word building, grammar and pronunciation as well.
To use your dictionary correctly, you need to understand how the dictionary works. At the front of the book, you will find some exercises to help you make the most use of your dictionary. If you look up the word “centre”, you will find two spellings for this word. “Centre” is used in British English, while “center” is used in American English. When there are differences between British and American spelling, the dictionary shows it with the word “BrE” for British English and “AmE” for American English.
The dictionary also helps you pronounce words correctly. If you turn to the inside back face, you will see all the phonetic letters(音标) with some words to show you how they are pronounced. Just have a look at this page when you’re not sure how to say a word.
The most important reason for using a dictionary is to find out the meaning of
