听力原文:W: Hi, Mike.
M: Hi. I'm surprised to see you on the city bus. Why not drive your car?
W: (23)I've been thinking about the environment lately. If we all use public transportation when we could, the air will be much cleaner.
M: Right. But the bus isn't exactly pollution free.
W: True. But they'll be running a lot cleaner soon, We were just talking about that in my environmental engineering class.
M: What's the city going to do? Install pollution filters of some sort on their buses?
W: They could, but those filters make the engines work harder and really cut down on fuel efficiency. Instead they found a way to make their engines more efficient.
M: How?
W: Well, (24)there is a material called the coniine oxide. It's a really good insulator. And a thick coat of it gets sprayed on the certain part of the engine.
M: An insulator?
W: Yes. (25)It reflects back the heat of burning fuel. So the fuel will burn much hotter and burn up more completely.
M: So a lot less unburned fuel comes out to pollute the air, right?
W: Yeah, and the bus will need less fuel. So with the savings on fuel cost, they say this will all pay for itself in just six months.
M: Sounds like people should all go out and get this stuff to spray their car engines.
W: Well, not really that easy. To melt the materials before you can spray a coat of it on the engine parts, you first have to heat it over 10,000 degrees. It's not something we are able to do ourselves.

Why are so many people unhappy in their jobs? There are two primary reasons. First,some people are convinced that earning a living is wasting time? that they could spend enjoying themselves or uncovering their talents. If this is the case with your, recall you last long vacation. Was it two weeks of complete enjoyment? More likely it was a week and a half of fun in the sun,with another half of a week of bore. I can&39;t wait to get back to work. If you didn&39;t feel such vacation blues,then imagine taking a leave of absence. You could use it to work on a novel, enroll in classes or just sit around watching TV. At the end of three months, in all likelihood,yourself-esteem would be at an all-time low. While all work and no play is not good, all playand no work is disastrous. Wc need to feel we are accomplishing something. We also need some form. of order in our lives. The second and perhaps more prevalent reason for people not to like their work is that they feel trapped. Once you have been at a company for five years and have a spouse,a mortgage and a child, you often feel you have very little choice about jummping ship if things aren’t turning out as you’d planned. A steady paycheck can be the biggest manacle (束缚)of all. People resent having to do something because they have no other choices. If you find yourself resenting your job because you cant afford to quit, it mnay be timeco prepare what one career counselor humorously calls a cyanide(氰化物) capsule. He re-calls spy movies in/which the secret agent has. such a capsule hidden somewhere on His body. If he&39;s captured and tortured unbearably, he has an option. And having an option gives him the strength to hold on a little longer in tbe hope that the situation/ may change. Rather than cyanide. your option takes the form. of an up-to-date resume. You might also take a weekly glance through the help-wanted section, and make some visits to industry functions where low-key net-working can take place. You are not giving up on your current job. Rather , you are providing yourself with an option. If things get unbearable atwork, you could jump ship. Being in this position can do wonders for your attiude. It allows you to enjoy your work since, in reality, you are there only because you want to be. At the core of adopting a positive attitude to your workplace is above all assuming responsibility for your own situation. Most people feel controlled by their environment,but they really aren&39;t.
They have to learn to manage adaptation environment so they can get from it what they need. The second main reason for their unhappiness is that____.
A.they have been working in a company’for too long
B.they are not permitted to change a job
C.they have no other way out than keep working
D.they have to work on to pay off their debts
The example about your last vacation proves that"A.all play and no work is disastrous
B.all work and no play is not good
C.avacation of two weeks is not enough
D.a vacation of two weeks is more than enough
With an up-to-date resume ready as an option, you may feel better at your job Because___.A.you are to do wonders in your work
B.it is up to you to choose between two alternatives
C.you have made a decision on your own
D.it seems to be the only positive attitude

In 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. So he invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden. That was the first photo.
The next important date in the history of photography (摄影术) was in 1837. That year, Daguere, another Frenchman, took a picture of his reading room. He used a new kind of camera in a different way. In his picture you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest thing. This kind of photo was called a Daguerreotype.
In about 1840, photography was developed. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. That was not simple. The photographers had to carry a lot of film and other machines. But this did not stop them, for example, some in the United States worked so hard.
Mathew Brady was a famous American photographer. He took many pictures of great people. The pictures were unusual' because they were very lifelike.
Photographs also became one kind of art by the end of the 19th century. Some photos were not just copies of the real world. They showed feelings like other kinds of art.
The first photo taken by Niepce was a picture of______.
A.his business
B.his house
C.his garden
D.his window
