A ground-based system that uses much stronger signals than GPS can find your location in cities and indoors. It is a new positioning system that could compete with GPS to make sure you never lose your directions again.
Instead of satellites, Locata uses ground-based equipment to send a radio signal over a localized area that is a million times stronger on arrival than GPS. It can work indoors as well as outdoors, and the makers claim that the receivers can be shrunk(缩小) to fit inside a regular cell phone. Even the US armies, which invented GPS technology, signed a file last month agreeing to a test of Locata at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico.
“This is one of the most important technology developments for the future of the positioning industry,” says Nunzio Gambale, CEO and co-founder of the firm Locata, based in Griffith, Australia.
As for the Locata’s correctness, Christopher Morin of the US Air Force tested it recently at White Sands, and it worked to within 18cm along any axis(轴). Morin said it should be possible to get the exactitude down to 5cm.
The tests were performed in an open desert where GPS also worked beautifully, but its signal was weak—like a car headlight from 20,000 kilometers away—and easily cut off by solid objects(实心的物体). Locata’s signal was far stronger, though not guaranteed to work in a complex urban environment, said David, speaker of the UK’ s General Lighthouse Authorities.
Locata’s technology will face competition in the race to transform indoor navigation. But it could shine in specific areas, Gambale said. Robots with Locata could easily navigate inside buildings without the complex optical(视觉的) systems they need at the moment. And the process that handles correct location data could not only guide you around a mall, railway station or airport, but also take you to the exact shelf in a shop for the product you want. It would be small and cheap enough for smart phones and it should be available within five years—a similar path to the one GPS took on its way towards the world, he said.
1.The passage is written mainly to ______.
A. encourage people to buy the Locata
B. tell us the disadvantages of the GPS
C. introduce a new positioning system Locata
D. tell us that Locata will replace GPS one day
2.Which of the following is NOT true about Locata?
A. Without the help of the satellites, Locata can tell you where you are.
B. Locata will be popular with most people even including the US armies.
C. Locata has a better signal than GPS in some bad environments.
D. In five years, Locata will take the place of GPS.
3.According to the passage, Gambale______.
A. did the experiment at White Sands last month
B. believed the Locata would help to develop smart robots’ creation
C. doubted whether Locata can work in a complex environment or not
D. was worried about the competition the Locata faced
4.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “exactitude” in Paragraph 4?
A. Accuracy. B. Speed.
C. Determination D. Length
5.What can we know from the passage?
A. Locata is as small as a cell phone.
B. GPS is the most practical position system at present.
C. Locata will tell you how to get what you want in the future.
D. Locata will enter our lives through the cell phone, just like GPS.

For a while, I wrote a “Tuesday tip” on my blog Lyonsdenmom.com. It was about easy week-night dinners, organizing parties or perhaps finding time out for friends.
About a year ago, I ran out of tips.
The truth? As a busy working mom with five busy kids, I probably do have a few tips to share. But honestly, the bar is set pretty low---on a recent day when I was walking our dog, a stranger who knew I had five kids said, “Wow! You have a dog, too?! And it even looks like you showered today!” Yes, it's true, I shower. Not every day, but most days. See, I'm telling the truth. Honestly, in this cold winter, I'm probably taking a shower more to warm up than to clean up.
Other funny truths? I'm tired. In fact, for the past year, I’ve been too tired to type up any update on our life here in Lyons Den. It's hard to arrange a career with all these kids. Although folks just believe that it must be so much easier now since all the kids are in school, I'm here to tell you, it's not. It's really not. When I get home from work, I'm often tearfully greeted by five kids and five homework folders filled with math facts, invitations, notices and artwork.
All those happy smiling faces I share on Facebook are real. We are a happy family---thank God for that! But we're not always smiling, and even in those rare best times when I can get all five kids looking at the camera, the odds would be that one of them isn’t wearing underwear, one is pinching (捏) someone behind the scenes and one is just perfectly pronouncing “Damn!” So, less perfectly-posed pictures, but more telling the truth. Even if only on Tuesday.

A. the happiness of a working mother

A machine that takes sweat-laden clothes and turns the moisture（分子） into drinking water is in use in Sweden. The device spins and heats the material to remove the sweat, and then passes the vapor through a special membrane(膜) designed to only let water molecules get through.
Since its Monday launch, its creators say more than 1,000 people have “drunk others’ sweat（h汗液）" in Gothenburg. They add the liquid is cleaner than local tap water.
The device was built for the United Nation's 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 critical part of the sweat machine was a new water purification component developed by a company named HVR in collaboration with Sweden's Royal Institute of Technology.
"It uses a technique called membrane distillation(膜蒸馏)," he told the BBC."We use a substance that's a bit like Gortex that only lets steam through but keeps bacteria, salts, clothing fibers and other substances out."They have something similar on the International Space Station to treat astronaut's urine(尿液) - but our machine was cheaper to build. Volunteers have been sampling the treated sweat since the start of the week in Gothenburg .“The amount of water it produces depends on how sweaty the person is - but one person's T-shirt typically produces 10ml , roughly a mouthful."
The equipment has been put on show at the Gothia Cup - the world's largest international youth football tournament. MattiasRonge, chief executive of Stockholm-based advertising agency Deportivo - which organized the stunt(惊人的表演) - 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," he said."So we've installed exercise bikes alongside the machine and volunteers are cycling like crazy."Even so, the demand for sweat is greater than the supply. And the machine will never be mass produced - there are better solutions out there such as water purifying pills."
1.What can we infer from the passage ?_______.
A. The water processed by the machine is cleaner than local tap water .
B. The machine can help raise awareness of lacking water in the world .
C. The machine is cheaper than the similar one on the International Space Station
D. The amount of water the machine produces is roughly a mouthful.
2.What is the main idea of the fifth paragraph ?
A. How the machine works.
B. Who developed the machine.
C. How the machine was invented.
D. Why the machine was invented..
3.What does Mattias Ronge think of the machine?____
A. The machine can solve the severe water shortage in the world.
B. People do not like the water the machine processes
C. The machine should be used in rather hot areas in summer.
D. The machine is not worth popularizing.

My father was, by nature, a cheerful, kindly man．Until he was thirty-four years old he worked as a farm-hand for Thomas Butterworth near the town of Bidwell, Ohio．On Saturday evenings he drove his horse into town to spend a few hours in social intercourse with other farm-hands．He was quite happy in his position in life．
It was in his thirty-fifth year that father married my mother, a school teacher．Something happened to the two people．The American passion for getting up in the world took possession of them．Mother induced father to give up his place as a farm-hand, sell his horse and start an independent enterprise of his own．They rented ten acres of poor stony land and launched into chicken raising．
One inexperienced in such matters can have no idea of the many and tragic things that can happen to a chicken．It is born out of an egg, lives for a few weeks as a tiny fluffy thing, then becomes naked, gets diseases, and dies．A few hens, and now and then a rooster, intended to serve God’s mysterious ends, struggle through to maturity．The hens lay eggs out of which come other chickens and the awful cycle is thus made complete．It is all unbelievably complex．Most philosophers must have been raised on chicken farms．One hopes for so much from a chicken and is so awfully disappointed． Small chickens, look so bright and in fact so awfully stupid． They are so much like people they mix one up in one’s judgments of life．If disease does not kill them they wait until your expectations are thoroughly aroused and then walk under the wheels of a carriage．
In later life I have seen how a literature has been built up on the subject of fortunes to be made out of the raising of chickens．It is intended to be read by the gods who have just eaten of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil．It is a hopeful literature and declares that much may be done by simple ambitious people who own a few hens．Do not be misguided by it．It was not written for you．Go hunt for gold on the frozen hills of Alaska, put your faith in the honesty of a politician, believe if you will that good will defeat evil, but do not read and believe the literature that is written concerning the hen．
For ten years my father and mother struggled to make our chicken farm pay and then they gave up that struggle and began another．They moved into the town of Bidwell, Ohio and began the restaurant business, with the tiny hope of looking for a new place from which to start on our upward journey through life．
1.Which of the following is the right order of what happened?
A． Father got married to Mother, a school teacher．
B． Father quitted working at Butterworth’s．
C． My parents launched a business in Bidwell．
D． Father socialized in town on Saturday evenings
E． My parents started their job of chicken farming．
A． d-a-b-e-c
B． d-a-c-b-e
C． d-b-a-e-c
D． d-b-a-c-e
2.By saying “Most philosophers must have been raised on chicken farms”, the author means that chicken farming _____．
A． is so complex that only philosophers can comprehend it
B． gives you a philosophical insight into life
C． exposes you to a complete circle of life
D． allows you the time to judge the life
3.In the author’s opinion, the literature about chicken raising _____．
A． is full of hope and positive energy
B． proves the victory of good over evil
C． persuades you to believe in politicians
D． tends to be blindly optimistic about its rewards
4.What’s the author’s attitude towards parents’ dream of rise to success?
A． approving
B． optimistic
C． skeptical
D． indifferent
