Most Helpful Customer Reviews:
★★★★Spectacular value!
By Marissa McRoberts on November 29
The typical price per piece of Lego has been slightly more than $10 since 2005. At $101 for 160 pieces, this set is about $ 0.6 per piece. It is a great deal.
But there are some downsides: no wheels, bushes, trees, grass, technic elements and that sort of thing, otherwise this is a fantastic starter set.
★★★★★A great deal!
By Shawn Bosworth on December 6
 I got this set as a Black Friday deal for an amazing $30! I wanted 2 sets but they were gone before I could even get my hands on one. A very nice man gave me a spare that he grabbed. It’s huge, strong and well-made. The box is about 2 feet tall and is strong enough for a storage option. I will absolutely be looking to get another set one day!

On a hot August morning, in a classroom overlooking New York’s Hudson River, a teacher guides a group of 3-year-olds completely in Chinese. This is just a language summer camp run by the primary school Bilingual Buds, which offers a year-round course in Chinese as well as Spanish for kids as young as 2.
A lot of research now shows the regular, high-level use of more than one language may actually improve early brain development. Knowing two or more languages can improve the ability to focus, decide and deal with information better. These important skills are grouped together, known in brain terms as “executive function”. The research suggests they develop ahead of time in bilingual children, and are already evident in kids as young as 3 or 4. Bilingual education, common in many countries, is a growing trend across the United States, with 440 elementary schools offering the study in Spanish, Chinese and French.
But Tamar Gollan, a professor at the University of California, has found a vocabulary gap between children who speak only one language and those who grow up with more. On average, the more language spoken, the smaller the vocabulary in each one. Gollan’s research suggests that while that gap narrows as children grow, it does not disappear completely. Gollan says, “Vocabulary tests help us find that bilinguals have the disadvantage, where you know the word but you just can’t get it out.”
In fact some of the values of bilingualism can’t be measured at all, of course. To speak more than on language is to open the mind to more than one culture of way of life.
Bilinguals also appear to be better at learning other new languages. Clarisse spent her early childhood in Switzerland speaking French. At 6, she learned English. Later she learned Spanish, German, and, during three years living in Tokyo, Japanese. Now she has easily mastered several languages.
24. Why should children learn more than one language according to Paragraph 2?
A. Because it can do good to children’s brain development.
B. Because it’s part of a language summer camp.
C. Because it is common in many countries.
D. Because it is popular with children.
25. The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 probably refers to_______.
A. many countries B. bilingual children
C. these important skills D. two or more languages
26. According to Tamar Gollan, _____.
A. knowing two or more languages can improve children’s skills
B. the more languages children know, the better they will be
C. children had better not take vocabulary tests
D. bilingual education is not always good to children
27. From the passage we can learn______.
A. Clarisse likes French best instead of Japanese
B. bilingual education is mainly loved by children
C. bilinguals can have a disadvantage in learning other new languages
D. knowing more languages can help children learn more about foreign cultures.

A machine that takes sweat-laden(浸满汗水)clothes and turns the sweat into drinking water is in use in Sweden. The machine make the clothes turn round quickly, heats them to remove the sweat, and then passes the steam through a kind of special material to make purified water.
Since it has been brought into use, its creators say more than 1,000 people have drunk other's “sweat” in Gothenburg. They add the liquid is cleaner than local tap water.
The device was built for the United Nations’ child-focused charity UNICEF to promote a campaign highlighting the fact that 780 million people in the world lack access to clean water.
The machine was designed and built by engineer Andreas Hammar, known locally for his appearances on TV tech show “Mekatronik”. He said the key part of the sweat machine was a new water purification part developed by a company named HVR.
"It uses a technique called membrane distillation(膜蒸馏)," he told the BBC. "We use a special kind of material that only lets steam through but keeps bacteria, salts, clothing fibers and other things out. "They have something similar on the International Space Station, but our machine is cheaper to build. "The amount of water it produces depends on how sweaty the person is but one person's T-shirt typically produces 10ml, about a mouthful."
The device has been put on show at the Gothia Cup - the world's largest international youth football tournament. Mattias Ronge, chief executive of Stockholm-based advertising agency Deportivo, said the machine had helped raise awareness for UNICEF, but in reality had its limitations.
"People haven't produced as much sweat as we hoped - right now the weather in Gothenburg is lousy," Mattias Ronge said. "So we've equipped the machine with exercise bikes and volunteers are cycling like crazy. "Even so, the demand for sweat is greater than the supply. And the machine will never be produced in large numbers, since there are better solutions out there such as water purifying pills."
28. Which of the following is the disadvantage of the sweat machine?
A. It takes too long for the machine to produce water.
B. It costs a large amount of money to build the machine.
C. The amount of water the machine produces is rather limited.
D. The water processed by the machine is not clean enough.
29. UNICEF is mentioned in the text to______.
A. show how the sweat machine works
B. tell us who invented the sweat machine
C. show the importance of the United Nations
D. explain why the sweat machine was invented
30. What did Mattias Ronge think of the sweat machine?
A. It did not work at all.
B. It was not worth popularizing.
C. It could only be used in summer.
D. The water it produced tasted sweet.
31. The text is written mainly to tell us that____
A. a better solution to purifying dirty water is discovered
B. 780 million people in the world lack access to clean water
C. a machine which turns sweat into drinking water is invented
D. the pill which turns dirty water into clean water is produced.

In anticipation(预料)of an extraordinary visit, the streets and buildings of Havana, Cuba, were cleaned and painted by dozens of workers. What was the occasion?
For the first time in nearly 90 years, a sitting United States president was coming to Cuba, an island nation 90 miles south of Florida. On Sunday, President Barack Obama, joined by his family, stepped off Air Force One and onto a rainy runway, where Cuban dignitaries(高官)eagerly awaited him. “It’s wonderful to be here,” the president said. The last time a U.S. president came to Cuba was in 1928. It was President Calvin Coolidge, and he arrived on a battleship. Obama will be in Cuba through Tuesday. He is set to meet with Cuba’s president, Raul Castro, attend a state dinner and even take in a baseball game.
The U.S. cut all ties with Cuba after Fidel Castro’s communist government took control of the island in 1959. In the years that followed, both countries’ opposing political views furthered the separation. Plans for social and economic change began after President Fidel Castro transferred power to his brother, Raul in 2008. Raul Castro then set a plan in motion to revive the country’s economy.
Since then, Cuba has been taking small, yet lasting steps toward change by removing a number of restrictions that had been set on its citizens, such as access to the Internet, the use of cellphones, and by allowing people to work at jobs not controlled by the government. Cuba, however, still has tough limits on media, public assembly and political opposition.
Obama hopes to share his vision for Cuba’s future during a speech he will deliver. Before the trip, Senior Advisor Ben Rhodes said the president hoped to use this visit as a way to “continue to create openings for great engagement between the American and Cuban people.”
32. What is stressed in the second paragraph?
A. President Obama’s arrival on television.
B. Obama and Castro talk about human rights.
C. The first serving U.S. president to visit Cuba recently.
D. First lady Michelle Obama was later welcomed.
33. What was the event showing Cuba’s change for the better?
A. Fidel Castro rose to power.
B. Raul Castro came to power.
C. Calvin Coolidge arrived in Cuba.
D. The U.S. officials arrived in Cuba.
34. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Cuba is central to conflict.
B. Cuba takes on media freedoms.
C. Cuba is working
