You have neither regret, nor shame, nor any sense of guilt.The detectors, sold for up to $42,000 each, were said to be able to find such dangerous objects as bombs under water and from the air. But in fact they lacked any grounding in science and were ofno use.McCormick had told the court that he sold his detectors to the police in Kenya, the prison service in Hong Kong, the army in Egypt and the border control in Thailand.I never had any had results from customers, he said.23. Why was McCormick sentenced to prison?A.He sold bombs.B. He cheated in business.C.He made detectors.D. He caused death of people.24.

Which of the following is true of the detectors?A.They dont function on the basis of science.B.They have caused many serious problems.C.They can find dangerous objects in water.D.They have not been sold to Africa.26. It can be inferred from the passage that McCormick _.A.sold the equipment at a low priceB.was well-known in most countriesC.did not think he had committed the crimeD.had not got such huge profit as mentioned in the textDHome to me means a sense of familiarity and nostalgia(怀旧). Its fun to come home. It looks the same. It smells the same. Youll realize whats changed is you. Home is where we can remember pain, live, and some other experiences; We parted here; My parents met here; I won three championships here.If I close my eyes, I can still have a clear picture in mind of my first home. I walk in the door and see a brown sofa surrounding a low glass-top wooden table. To the right of the living room is my first bedroom. Its empty, but its where my earliest memories are.There is the dining room table where I celebrated birthdays, and where I cried on Halloween-when I didnt want to wear the skirt my mother made for me. I always liked standing on that table because it made me feel tall and strong. If I sit at this table, I can see my favorite room in the house, my parents room. It is simple: a brown wooden dresser lines the right side of the wall next to a television and a couple of photos of my grandparents on each side. Their bed is my safe zone. I can jump on it anytime - waking up my parents if I am scared or if I have an important announcement that cannot wait until the morning.Im lucky because I know my first home still exists. It exists in my mind and heart, on a physical property(住宅) on West 64th street on the western edge of Los Angeles. It is proof I lived, I grew and I learned.Sometimes when I feel lost, I lie down and shut my eyes, and I go home. I know its where Ill find my family, my dogs, and my belongings. I purposely leave the window open at night because I know Ill be blamed by Mom. But I dont mind, because I want to hear her say my name, which reminds me Im home.27.

The authors favorite room in her first home is the dining room.D.The author can still visit her first physical home in Los Angeles.29.
