Growing up in Philadelphia, Lieberman started cooking with his stay-at-home dad when he was seven. His food-loving family had two kitchens, and he quickly learned what was the best way to bake his cakes. Lieberman improved his kitchen skills greatly during a year abroad before college, learning from a cook in Italy and studying local specialties（地方特色菜）in Germany, Spain and France. At Yale, he was known for throwing dinner parties, single-handedly frying and baking while mixing drinks for dozens of friends. Just for fun, he and some friends decided to tape a show named Campus Cuisine about his cooking. Lieberman was a real college student showing his classmates how to do things like make drinks out of dining-hall fruit. That helped the show become very popular among the students. They would stop Lieberman after classes to ask for his advice on cooking. Tapes of the show were passed around, with which his name went beyond the school and finally to the Food Network.
Food Network producer Flay hopes the young cook will find a place on the network television. He says Lieberman’s charisma is key. “Food TV isn’t about food anymore,” says Flay. “It’s about your personality and finding a way to keep people’s eyeballs on your show. ”
But Lieberman isn’t putting all his eggs in one basket. After taping the first season of the new show, Lieberman was back in his own small kitchen preparing sandwiches. An airline company was looking for someone to come up with a tasteful, inexpensive and easy-to-make menu to serve on its flights, Lieberman got the job.

Palaces are known for their beauty and splendor,but they offer little protection against attacks. It is easy to defend a large building, but usually these buildings are not designed with the comfort of a king in mind. When it comes to structures that are both beautiful and defensive,the European castle is a big success.
Castles were originally built in England by the Normans in 1066. They built towers and walls to secure the land they had taken. These castles provided the Normans with a quiet and safe place. They also served as bases of operation for attacks. In this way castles served both defensive and offensive roles. Besides, castles served as offices for governors. Those that were socially beneath the governor would come to report affairs and express their respect. They would address problems, handle business, feast, and enjoy festivities in castles. So castles served as social centers as well.
The first castles were made from earth and wood,and they were likely to suffer from attacks by fire. Then wooden castles were gradually replaced by stone, which greatly increased the strength of these towers and walls. However, attacker could throw flaming objects into castles through the windows or burn the wooden doors. This led to moving the windows and entrances off of the ground floor and up to the first-floor to make them more difficult to access.
During the Middle Ages, attacks increased in regularity, so caste defenses were updated. Arrow-slits were added. They were small holes in the castle, which allowed defenders to fire without being hurt. Towers were built from which defenders could provide fire on both sides. The towers were connected to the castle by wooden bridges, so that if one tower fell, the rest of the castle was still easy to defend. A lot of rings of castle walls were constructed,so that even if attackers went past one wall, they would be caught on a killing ground between inner and outer walls. All of these increased the defense of castles.
The end of castles can be attributed to gunpowder. During the 15th century, artillery, a kind of large guns, became powerful enough to break through stone walls. This greatly made the role of castles less effective. Though castles no longer serve their original purposes, remaining castles receive millions of visitors each year who wish to experience the situations of ancient times.

A. They served as tourist attractions.
B. They were important social centers.
C. They marked religious ceremonies.
D. They were built for use in emergencies.
9. The reason why wooden castles were replaced by stone castles was that______.

B. stone castles offered better defense
C. wooden castles were uncomfortable
D. wooden castles took a long time to build
10. Which of the following showed an improvement in castle defenses
A. Castles were totally separated by stones.
B. Arrow-slits were made in large quantities.
C. Rings of walls were built to defend the towers.
D. Windows and entrances were moved to the higher floor.
11. What is the best title of the passage
A. Fancy Living: Learning about Castles
B. Normans: Bringing Castles to England
C. A History of Castles: The Rise and Fall of Castles
D. Defending Castles: Technologies Used to Defend Castles
D
With so many devices to keep track of, it’s easy to forget to charge your wearable. But what if your skin could power your smart watch Thanks to a team in China, this could actually happen. Scientists have developed a small, flexible device that transforms heat from human skin into electrical power.
The device is a thermoelectric generator (TEG) that uses heat difference to create power. Researchers use the difference between the warmer body temperature and the relatively cooler surrounding environment to generate power. Unlike traditional generators that use the energy of motion to produce power, TEGs have no moving parts,making them primarily repair free.
Unfortunately, TEGs are quite rigid — they can only stand up to fewer than 200 cases of bending — not great for a wearable device. The team settled this problem by attaching the key electrical components to a more bouncy and more sticky polyurethane（聚氨酯）material. During testing, the device survived at least 10,000 cases of bending without affecting performance. The researchers also partially replaced the rare metal bismuth TEGs typically rely on with a magnesium-based material, which will cost less in mass production.
For the prototype（原型机）, the team connected an LED to a TEG band measuring 4.5 cm by 1.1 cm. The band was then wrapped around the wrist of someone whose body temperature measured at 92.9 "F in normal environmental conditions. With the difference in temperature,the generator transformed the body heat and used it to light up the LED. The team believes that with the correct voltage converter（电压转换器）the generator can energize electronics similar to smart watches and pulse sensors.
There’s an increasing demand for greener energy, and TEGs fit right in, for they can turn wasted heat into power. While, for example, solar energy can only be generated when there's sun, TEGs can produce power in many situations — as long as there’s a temperature difference.
12. Why have researchers developed the new device
A. To use it as a reminder to charge.
B. To carry the smart watch comfortably.
C. To replace the battery in the wearable.
D. To protect the skin from being damaged.
13.How does the TEG differ from the traditional generator
A. It saves repair costs.
B. It needs no extra spare parts.
C. It is suitable for any environment.
D. It is more effective in producing power.
14.What does Paragraph 3 tell us about the researchers
A. How they tested out the device.
B. Why they designed flexible TEGs.
C. Why they improved the chosen materials.
D. How they made the device lasting and low-cost.
15. What can we expect of the new TEGs in the future
A. They might go out of style quickly.
B.They will speed up energy production.
C. They could take the place of solar energy.
D. They will be promising in powering wearables.

When Thanksgiving Day was approaching, my primary school decided to celebrate it by presenting shows like dancing and singing that all students could join in. Parents would also be invited to watch.
One afternoon, the schoolmaster called me into his office. He said with a smile, “Nancie, could you write a poem for the festival and read it during the coming event ” “Sure!” Excitedly, I had loved poetry since my fifth grade. I was fascinated by poems for it is an amazing thing to convey feelings through them. When my first poem was published, I was known to my friends and teachers as the class poet.
I left the schoolmaster's office that afternoon, feeling quite happy. Then for weeks, I worked or my poem, carefully designing the content, structure and sound. I practiced reciting it aloud every day.
When the evening for the event finally came, I was ready. Well, I was ready until I looked around and realized how many people there were in the school hall. How could I present my poem in front of more than 400 people I was just a seventh-grader! No one would take my work seriously. What was worse, I had never spoken in front of a huge crowd before. I sat in my chair, hoping I could disappear. Maybe they would forget I was supposed to read.
“Hey, Nancie, I saw your name in the program. Good luck!” my little brother's voice rose as he took his seat a few rows down with his class. I nodded, struggling to keep calm. I knew my parents were somewhere in the hall. Before long, the lights faded, the crowd quieted, and the schoolmaster took the stage to introduce the list of the shows. Mine was at the end of the list. So I had to sit through an hour of absolute anxiety.
It wasn't until the students from the fourth grade were singing that my teacher brought me downstairs next to the stage. My mind was blank. Then suddenly, I was on stage with the bright white lights blinding my view of the audience. When I walked to the microphone in the center of the stage, I somehow tripped over something. And I stupidly fell down. All of the kids burst into laughter.

I was about to run away when my teacher came up tome. He joked I fell due to my eagerness to bow to the audience. His humor helped remove the embarrassment. Then he motivated the audience to give me encouragement. Feeling less nervous, I took the microphone and cleared my voice before reading the title. Surprisingly, my voice sounded clear and loud. The hall silenced. I continued reading, with words coming out in the right order and lines flowing together appropriately. （69）
When I finished my reading, the hall was silent at first. I swallowed hard, with my palms sweating, and I found it impossible to look up at the audience. Then out of the silence there was clapping and cheering. I dared to look for my parents in the sea of faces, and found my mother wiping away tears and my father smiling. With a light-headed feeling and a happy smile, I bowed slightly and walked off the stage. My teacher congratulated me with a big hug, “ You make it! Courage and confidence bring success to you.” Hearing his words, gratitude and strength spread warmly through my body. （96）
