I’m tired and covered in dust. I’ve been digging all day and I’ll be doing the same tomorrow. Sound awful, doesn’t it ? But I’ve never had so many fun in my life. As an archaeology student, I have already knew something about the Qin Tomb and the terracotta warriors. Most Chinese children can tell you Qin Shihuang was the emperor first unified China. He was a brilliant ruler, and he was also a cruel man who killed thousands of people. When he became the king of the state, he immediately ordered workers to construct an underground tomb for him, which is said to contain great treasures. But, the actual entrance to the tomb has ever been found, nor has the tomb been opened. There are ancient descriptions of crossbows hiding at the tomb’s entrance. It’s said that if everyone steps across the entrance, the crossbows will fire.

We’d better develop our interest in English at the beginning of our study. 1. We may feel good when we can say something simple in English.
2. So we must make some plans before study. And we should certainly carry out these plans in our study.
3. Our notes are much thinner than the books so that we can learn them by heart easily and can often review and read them. We may also record our notes on tapes so as to listen to them easily.
Reading a newspaper is the best thing to improve your English. 4. It will help you keep in touch with a lot of subjects in English.
5. Learn by heart the whole sentences and the phrases that contain the new words so that we may know how to use the words.
If time permits, we may read a mini Chinese-English dictionary carefully from cover to cover, which may help us widen our sight and master knowledge in all ways.
A. Read a little from a newspaper every day.
B. Don’t read books without making notes.
C. Carefully write an e-mail in English.
D. It’s easy to develop an interest in English study.
E. The more, the better.
F. Plans are always very necessary.
G. Never just memorize single English words.
A Dutch artist and designer has come up with a device which he hopes will get rid of pollutants from Beijing's smog skies, creating clean air for the city's mask-wearing people.
An electromagnetic field（电磁场） will pull particles（微粒） in the smog to the ground where they can be easily cleaned.
“It's like when you have a balloon which has static（静电） and your hair goes toward it. Same with the smog,” says artist Daan Roosegaarde.
His studio has reached an agreement with the Beijing government to test the technology in one of tile capital's parks.
With its skies regularly covered by dirty gray smog, Beijing this week announced a series of emergency measures to handle the problem.
Roosegaarde says an indoor model device has already proven it works and is confident that the results — with the help of a team of scientists and engineers — can be replicated outside.
“Beijing is quite a good place because the smog in Beijing is quite low. It lies in a valley so there's not so much wind. It's a good environment to explore this kind of thing.”
“We'll be able to purify the air and the challenge is to get the top of the smog so you can see the sun again.”
Roosegaarde acknowledges that projects like this are a way of drawing attention to the problem, rather than a practical solution to Beijing's awful air pollution.
“This is not the real answer for smog. The real answer has to do with clean cars, different industry and different lifestyles.”
However, he hopes the project will make a “fundamental statement” by allowing the city's people to realize the difference between breathing clean and smog-filled air.
1.The device works by _______.
A. helping keep the particles out with more masks
B. pulling pollutants to the ground with an electromagnetic field
C. absorbing hair with a balloon with static
D. creating clean air and let it out into the sky
2.According to the passage, ______ .
A. the Beijing government has agreed to use the technology in Beijing
B. they have proven the results of the device both indoors and outdoors
C. the results of the air-cleaning device can be expectable
D. the Beijing government has never done anything to handle the air pollution
3.What does Roosegaarde really mean by saying “Beijing is quite a good place…... ”?
A. The air pollution in Beijing is not quite serious.
B. The weather in Beijing is good for foreigners to live in.
C. Beijing is quite fit for using the air-cleaning device.
D. It is easy to get the top of the smog in Beijing.
4.Roosegaarde appeals to people in Beijing to ________.
A. pay attention to air pollution and solve the problem finally
B. invent more devices to clean the smog in Beijing
C. drive modern cars and try different lifestyles
D. realize how serious the pollution they're facing is
