10、As we all know, games play a very important role in the growth of children. Children should grow along with playing games, for, _16 playing games, they can not only acquire knowledge, but also cultivate their abilities to get along with others. However, most children _ 17 (face) with a completely di
11、fferent situation. Most parents fear that games will prevent children from increasing new knowledge and _18_ the children will fail in the future examinations. So, instead of _19_ ( let ) the children 20 find and learn naturally from their surroundings, they force their children to take part in vari
12、ous kinds of classes, learning English, playing 21_ piano or practicing drawing, etc. Whats more, some parents put 22 the childrens toys which are very useful in developing childrens imagination and practical abilities. 23 is a piece of good advice to those parents: 24 you want to expect your child

14、es may be great at warming up food, but what about warming people? Using microwaves to directly heat owners of a room would save much of the energy wasted by heating walls and furniture. And despite popular ideas about microwaves, this technique would be safe, according to Charles R. Burlier of the
15、Microwave Research Center in Marlborough, New Hampshire. Low-power microwaves only penetrate (贯穿) the skin (low-power microwave penetration in a ham is about 0.2 inches, for example) and with no negative effects. To test this idea, Buffler subjected himself to microwaves in a special room using a st
16、andard 500-watt, 2459 MHz magnetron (磁控管). He found that a person will start to feel warmth at about 20 milliwatts per square centimeter (mw. / sq. cm. ) ; a satisfactory feeling of warmth occurs between 35 and 50mw. / sq. cm. By comparison, a person standing in noonday summer sun feels the amount o
17、f 85 mw. / sq. cm. And a frozen meat pie in your microwave oven receives about 1000 mw. / sq. cm. In houses of the future, each room could be provided with its own magnetron, says Buffler. When you stepped into the living room, for example, a motion detector (运动感应器)would turn on the magnetron, filli
18、ng the room with low-power microwaves. In the same way that a microwave oven heats up a hamburger, but not the plate its on, you would feel warmth from the microwaves without changing the temperature of your coffee table. (You could, however, make your favorite easy chair even more comfortable by tr
19、eating it with a radiation-absorbing chemical.) While it might be some time before homeowners are comfortable enough with the idea to set up whole-body microwave heaters in houses, Buffler says microwaves may attract livestock(家畜) farmers. Lambs that are born outdoors in winter, for example, are fre
20、quently lost to cold. Microwaves could warm the lambs safely and quickly.26. Which of the following can tell the main idea of the passage?A. A new heating system. B. A new microwave oven.C. A popular technique. D. The magnetron.27. According to Paragraph 2, which of the following does not describe t
21、he characteristics of a microwave heater?A. It directly heats people in a room. B. It heats walls and furniture in a room.C. It is safe. D. It saves energy28. The test conducted by Buffler shows that when a person feels comfortable warmth, he receives about _.A. 20 mw. / sq. cm. B. 40 mw. / sq. cm.
22、C. 60 mw. / sq. cm. D. 85 mw. / sq. cm.29. According to Paragraph 4, which of the following fills the room with low-power microwaves?A. The magnetron. B. The motion detector.C. The microwave oven. D. The radiation-absorbing chemical.30. Which of the following statements about microwave heaters would
23、 Buffler most probably agree with?A. Microwave heaters will soon be widely used by homeowners.B. Microwave heaters sometimes make people feel uncomfortable.C. Perhaps microwave heaters will be first used by livestock farmers, who wish to protect their lambs in winter.D. Microwave heaters cannot be a
24、ccepted by the public because they are somewhat unsafe. B In Europe, people hold the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right throughout the meal, a system that is generally agreed to be more efficient than the American zigzag（曲折的）method. Americans hold both the fork and the knife in their r
25、ight hands throughout the meal, so they continually change their forks to the left hand when they have to cut their meat. It seems to be funny for the Europeans to see Americans busy changing their dinner sets, making a lot of noises. A few explanations for this American style are as follows: (1) Am
26、ericans are practical and efficient. Since most of us are right-handed, it is reasonable to keep our working tools at all times in the right hand that can use them most efficiently. (2) Americans, the master of the New World are rebels（叛逆者）.They use the zigzag method to break the rules in the Old Wo
27、rld and in this way they are thumbing their nose at Mother England. Americans are a restless kind. They do not like to sit in one spot for very long when dining.(3) Forced to do so, they respond by “playing” with the silver. Whatever the reason for the practice, it is now certainly as American as ap
28、ple pie. Europeans recognize this and are quick to attack it as evidence of American innocence（无知）of form. Arguments against the zigzag method rest not only on grounds of efficiency but also on those of tradition. In Old World dining, the knife is held in the right hand continually because it can se
29、rve as an instant defense against the uninvited intruders（入侵者）.However, such alertness（警觉） is out of place in the New World, as every American believes that this is the home of the brave. Americans juggle their silverware, perhaps, to show that they are not afraid and that one of them holding a fork
30、 is worth any number of them holding blades（刀）. 31. Americans use _ to hold their fork to pick up the salad. A. the right hand B. the left hand C. both hands D. either of the two hands 32. As the masters of the New World, Americans use a different cutting method from that in the Old World to _. A. s
31、how their independence of Mother England B. show their disrespect to Mother England C. add a new tradition to those in Mother England D. show off their creativeness to Mother England 33. In the last sentence, the word “juggle” probably means _. A. hold B. play with C. pick up D. lay down 34. Also in
32、 the last sentence, the two “them” refer to _. A. Americans B. Europeans and Americans separately C. Americans and Europeans separately D. Europeans 35. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. European people hold the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right hand.B. The zigzag eating m
