Harmony is very important to our society．All of us are looking forward to live in a harmonious

2．A café owner has defended her decision to open a Facebook post （an Internet message to be discussed） stating"No，we are not child-friendly，"saying it breaks her heart when children damage her possessions．
On Monday，the Little French Café in Newcastle，Australia，posted an announcement on their Facebook page："Are we child-friendly？If you are looking for a café with a children's menu，a play area，lounges for your children to jump on，vast space for your baby carriages，an area for your children to run around and annoy other customers，while you are unaware of them-then the short answer is‘No，we are not
child-friendly．'However，if you would like to bring your children here and they are happy to sit at a table with you and behave properly，please come in．Otherwise，there are plenty of places that are specifically designed to entertain your children．"The post has since been deleted．
Some Facebook users called the post"arrogant （傲慢的）"and an"attack on parents，"The Newcastle Herald reports．The café owner responded with this statement：
"I built the coffee myself．It has my blood and sweat and plenty of tears in it．"
The post came about after the café owner was asked by a customer，who had left a one-star review on the café's business page，about whether the café was child-friendly．Ms Kotz told news．com．au she wrote that bad review because she felt staff reacted negatively towards children at the café．
The café owner said it broke a piece of her every time when she was watching children emptying salt and pepper shakers into her fireplaces，parents changing nappies（尿布） on her lounges，or kids throwing their own food onto her carpet．
Although the policy has attracted a lot of criticism，most people who commented on the Little French Café's Facebook page stood by the owner．One woman named Lesley wrote，"I don't think there was anything wrong with what you said by any means．If parents want to take their children to your café，they need to be responsible for their behavior．"

1．Nikola Tesla was a great inventor，engineer，and physicist．He is best known for his contribution to
the design of the modern alternating current （AC）（交流电） electricity supply system．
Tesla started working in the electrical fields before he came to work for Thomas Edison in the United
States in 1884．However，he soon made up his mind to set up his own labs and companies so as to carry on
further study of a range of electrical devices．His AC induction motor（交流感应电动机） was given a
patent by George Westinghouse，who also hired Telsa as an expert to help develop a power system using
alternating current．
Tesla's achievements and his abilities to demonstrate his great inventions made him famous all over
the world．Although he made a large sum of money from his patents，he spent a great deal on various
experiments over the years．In the last few decades of his life，he ended up living in the limited place-
Room 3327of the New York Hotel，occasionally making unusual statements to the press．Because of such
kind of statements and the nature of his work over the years，Tesla gained a fame as"mad scientist"．He
died in debt on January 7，1943．
Tesla's work became less and less known to the public after his death，but since the 1990s，his fame
has come back in popular culture．In 2005，he was listed as the top"100Greatest Americans"．His work
and great inventions are also at the center of other theories and have also been used to support various
UFO theories and so on．In 1960，in honor of Tesla，the"tesla"was used in the SI unit（国际标准单
位）measure for magnetic field strength．

As we know，water is very important to the man．We can't live with water．The amount of water which is suitable to drink are less and less．So some people don't care about it．They waste a lot of waters in their daily life．Even better，they pour dirty water into rivers．They throw rubbish into rivers，either．Many rivers and lakes are seriously polluting．Something must be done stop the pollution．Only in this way can we live happily．If they don't save water，the last drop of water will be a tear-drop of ours．

17．This is a great truth，one of the greatest truths．It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth，we transcend （超越） it．Once we truly know that life is difficult-once we truly understand and accept it-then life is no longer difficult．Because once it is accepted，the fact that life is difficult no longer matters．
Most do not fully see this truth．Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy．It seems to them that difficulties represent a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families，their class，or even their nation．
What makes life difficult is that the process of fa cing and solving problems is a painful one．Problems，depending on their nature，cause us sadness，or loneliness or regret or anger or fear．These are uncomfortable feelings，often as painful as any kind of physical pain．And since life causes an endless series of problems，life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy．
Yet，it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning．Problems are the serious test that tells us success from failure．When we desire to encourage the growth of human spirit，we encourage the human ability to solve problems，just as in school we set problems for our children to solve．It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn．As Benjamin Franklin said，"Those things that hurt，instruct．"It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems．
32．From the passage，it can be inferred thatB．
A．everybody has problems
B．we become stronger by meeting and solving the problems of life

A．encourage them to learn
B．teach them to fear the pain of solving the problem
C．help them learn to deal with pain 
D．teach them how to respect problems
35．The saying from Benjamin Franklin"Those things that hurt，instruct．"suggests thatC．

B．we do not learn when we are in pain

D．pain cannot be avoided．

16．At 2 pm on 5 December 1945，five US bombers took off from Fort Lauderlale in the USA for a training flight in perfect weather．Shortly afterwards，the pilots radioed that their flight instruments were all malfunctioning．Two hours after take-off，all contact with the planes was lost．A reconnaissance plane was immediately sent off to search for the missing planes．Within 20 minutes，radio contact with it had also been lost．No trace of any of the planes was ever found．In all，six planes and 27 men had disappeared into the air．
The disappearance of the six planes was far from being the first mysterious incident in the area：for years，navigational problems and strange magnetic forces had been reported．The disappearance was not even the greatest disaster within the triangle．The Cyclops，a 19，000-ton US ship was sailing from Barbados to Norfolk，Virginia in March 1918，when it vanished with its crew of 309 from the surface of the ocean without making a distress call and without the slightest wreckage ev er being found．
The losses of boats and planes in that area defy explanation．The disasters are the origin of a new phrase in the English language-the Bermuda Triangle and this phrase has entered legend．The Bermuda Triangle has been called the Devils'Triangle，the Triangle of Death，the Graveyard of the Atlantic．It has swallowed up 140 ships and planes and more than 1，000 people．Today many airmen and sailors are still afraid of that area of the Atlantic Ocean．
