In modern society, living without money sounds almost impossible. However, that’s eactly what an Australian couple from a big city has been doing for nearly a whole year.

Rachel Newby, 25, and Liam Culbertson, 27, have come up with creative ways of maing it through the year without spending

any money. They built themselves a new house. The house was made of used wood and recycled materials. They grew their own food, and at times they didn’t hesitate(犹豫) to loo for food in the dustbins (垃圾箱).

But this year has been quite difficult. The soil(土壤) in their garden was too poor to grow vegetables. The climate there was terrible as well. They ept moving their home till they finally lived in a 2.5-square(平方)-meter house. They collected cold rainwater to tae a shower.

Even though they had no jobs, they didn’t have a lot of free time to waste.

Smoing in indoor public places including public woring places, public transport vehicles(车辆) and some other special outdoor woring places has been banned(禁止) in China since January 2011. Let’s loo at the following advantages of banning smoing.

First, banning smoing will not only help in saving smoers from health problems and diseases, but will also be good for passive(被动) smoers. When the smoer is smoing in a restaurant, the people around him are sure to breathe(呼吸) in the smoe and suffer(受苦，患病) from the diseases an active smoer gets. If smoing is banned, spread of these diseases can be controlled(控制).

Net, banning smoing will put stress on smoers to give up. Since a smoer is prevented from smoing, he will learn how to live without smoing for long hours. When a smoer doesn’t smell or see anybody around him smoing, it might reduce his wish to smoe too. As a result, people have to give up smoing.

Smoing in public places influences non-smoers to start smoing, especially adolescents. When teens see people around them smoing, they will follow them. Thus the number of teen smoers will increase. Also asthma(哮喘) and other problems are often seen in children living around smoers. So if it is banned, these places will become safe for children and teenagers.

Smoing should be banned to increase wor productivity(生产率). Employees(雇员) who smoe usually tae breas to smoe while woring. So the number of hours they put in their wor is smaller.

If you see from the environment point of view, smoing should be banned. Smoing causes air pollution. If it is banned, it will help eep the environment from getting worse. 49. __________ isn’t a non-smoing place. A. A field

B. A hospital

C. A library

D. A restaurant

50. The second paragraph mainly wants to tell us __________. A. banning smoing is good for restaurants B. banning smoing is good for non-smoers

B. women

C. adults D. teenagers

Your brain controls everything you do. It maes it possible for you to thin, learn, create and feel; to blin(眨眼) and breathe and for your heart to beat—this fantastic control center is your brain. It is so amaing that a famous scientist once called it “the most comple(复杂) thing we have discovered in our universe”.

Can this small grey organ(器官), which weighs less than one and a half ilos, really do so much? Amaingly, your brain contains(包含) about 100 billion neurons(神经元)—it would tae you over 3,000 years to count them all. Believe it or not, the activity in your brain never stops. Your neurons create and send more messages than all the phones in the world. And although one neuron creates only a little electricity, all your neurons together can produce enough electricity to power a light bulb (灯泡).

So eactly how fast does your brain wor? Well, imagine this a bee lands on your foot. Neurons in your sin send this information to your brain at a speed of more than 240 ilometers per hour. Your brain then uses other neurons to send the message bac to your foot to shae the bee off quicly. These neurons can send this information at more than 320 ilometers per hour. No computer has your brain’s unbelievable ability to deal with the amount of information coming from your eyes, ears and other sensory(感觉的) organs.

But how does your brain allow you to learn things that you will use in the future? The structure (结构) of your brain changes every time you have a new thought, remember or learn something. For eample, riding a bie seems impossible at first, but soon you are able to do it. How? As you practice, your brain sends “bie riding” messages again and again. Soon, the actions are learnt and you are able to ride a bie easily from then on. 53. From the passage we now that neurons __________. A. receive messages very slowly C. send messages to your brain

B. are only found in your sin

D. need electricity to wor

54. When you have a new thought, __________. A. your brain will power a light bulb C. you remember something

B. your heart beats faster D. the structure of your brain changes
