No answer. He moved 5 feet closer. Still no answer. He got fed up and moved right behind her, about an inch away, and asked again, “Betty, what’s for dinner ” Betty said, “That’s the fourth time you asked me. They are meatballs.”

Do you remember the name of your kindergarten teacher I do, mine.Her name was Mrs.White. And I remember thinking she must be some older relation of Walt Disney's Snow White, because she had the same
1
bright blue eyes, short dark hair, red lips and fair skin.
I don't remember much about what we learned in her class, but my mother once told me that we used to write a lot. And I would bring back what I wrote and she would look at it and see there were so many mistake so one day when she went in to meet Mrs.White for one of those parent-teacher meetings, she asked her why she didn't red-pencil my wrong spellings of words or point out grammatical errors
And my mother says Mrs.White said - The children are just beginning to get excited about using words, about forming sentences.I don't want to kill that passion(激情) with red ink.Spelling and grammar can wait.The wonder of words won't...And maybe she didn't say it exactly like that. It was a long time ago. And what my mother gave me was the main idea of what she could remember. I added the rest. I grew up learning to use words with loving confidence like that.
I realize that if Mrs. White had used her red pencil more precisely(精确地) I probably wouldn't be telling you about this now. I look back now and think she must have been a rather good teacher. And thanks to Mrs. White, I had no worries about writing what I meant even if I couldn't quite spell it out.

Wooden houses surrounded by a thick forest, classical music playing softly in the background, a very special cafe, three meals a day and several outdoor activity areas. This sounds like a dream vacation arrangement (安排). But this is not a place for people. It’s for cats in the province of Samsun, Türkiye.
Kedi Kasabas, or "cat town", is one interesting place in the country, a place where cats can experience what real comfort is!
The town, which covers an area of around 20 acres, is run by the local city and most admitted guests have a hard backstory. "All cats here are homeless and usually go through sufferings before being brought here. They are either injured or mentally suffer. We treat them and put them back into the town. The environment here is really beautiful for them," Faruk Kan, a Kedi Kasabas vet, said.

Kan is not the only vet working at the shelter. There’s a whole team looking after the cats and making sure all their needs are met. The place even has a special area for sick or injured cats, where they receive personalized (个性化的) treatment.
There are currently 150 animals living in "cat town", and the number keeps rising. There are wooden houses where they can rest, and also houses designed for socializing. During the winter they are provided with heated accommodation, so feeling convenient and warm is a sure thing for these furry creatures.
The love for cats seems to be a Turkish favourite. Istanbul is known for being home to several hundred thousand cats. There, people take care of street cats like kings. The four-legged friends are fed and kept healthy and they have already become part of the city view.
Even though cats may have a happy life outdoors in the forest or wandering around in the city streets, there’s nothing like having a stable (稳定的) home, lying next to a human friend.

A group of researchers have developed a new material which is soft but very strong.It can be worn and washed like ordinary clothing and could finally turn sports clothes into smart "wearables".
The so-called "carbon nanotube threads"( 碳 纳 米 管 线 ) can be used to measure heart rate to test heart conditions.But instead of having to be stuck on the skin, they can be fixed on a T-shirt and worn like usual athletic wear.The researchers say the threads can comfortably move with the wearer, and be washed and worn repeatedly without breaking down.
Though going into production for customers is still a long way off, the material could finally help replace some medical facilities, such as the heart-rate monitoring machines and watches, in addition to other possible uses.For the latest study, researchers worked with a rope-maker to make the threads together into a material similar to ordinary thread that could be sewn(缝纫) into athletic clothes.The resulting "smart" shirt provides "soft, wearable, dry sensors for continuous" heart-rate monitoring, the study states.With some improvement, the clothes with these carbon nanotube threads could be able to track other human body life signs, according to the researchers.
The "smart" shirts aren't entirely without wires(电线), however.one example shows the nanotube in the shirt feeding testing results to wires on the bottom that transmit the information through Bluetooth technology to a computer.
3
"The threadlike material—thin enough to run through a sewing machine—is not only soft and comfortable to the touch, but also so strong that you can build a power line out of it ," said Dewy, a member of the research team.
"Nothing else behaves like this promising material." 32. What is the new material expected to do A. Make a new style of sportswear.
B. Take the place of traditional clothes. C. Provide measurement for heartbeats. D. Help determine the type of an illness.
33. What does the underlined word "transmit" mean in paragraph 4

A. It'll cause a waste of resources.
B. It has gained a large sales market.
C. It has a bright future of development. D. It'll improve the function of the heart.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Scientists Are Studying Human Body Life Signs
B. Advanced Medical Facilities Are Put into Wide Use
C. Smart Wearables Are Well Received Among Athletes
D. Carbon Nanotube Threads Are Created to Test Heart Rate
