Affordable Hearing Aid
A local board-certified Ear, Nose, and
Throat (ENT) physician, Dt. S. Cherukuri, has
shaken up the hearing
aid
industry
with
the
invention
of
a
medical-grade,
affordable
hearing
aid.
This
revolutionary
hearing
aid
is
designed
to help millions of people with hearing loss who
cannot afford
—
or do not wish
to pay-the much higher
cost
of
traditional
hearing
aids.
Dr.
Cherukuri
knew
that
untreated
hearing
loss
could
lead
to
depression,
social
isolation,
anxiety,
and
symptoms
consistent
with
Alzheimer’s
diseas
e.
He
didn’t
understand
why
the
cost
for
hearing aids was so high
when the prices on many consumer electronics like
TVs, DVD players, and cell phones
had
fallen.
The
high
cost
of
hearing
aids
is
a
result
of
layers
of
middlemen
and
expensive
unnecessary
features.
Dr.
Cherukuri
concluded
that
it
would
be
possible
to
develop
a
medical
grade
hearing
aid
without
sacrificing
the
quality of components.
The result is the MDHearingAid
PRO,
well under $$200 each
when buying a pair. Order for
a 45-Day
Risk-Free Trial.

It’s
hard
not
to
crack
a
smile
when
you’re
faced
with
the
tail
-wagging,
constantly
smiling
Kit-Cat
Clock,
which is kind of the reason it first
came to be.
In the 1930s,
America was in the thick of the hopeless and
gloomy Great Depression, and across the country
people were in low spirits. Powerless
to the crisis on a larger scale, Oregon designer
Earl Arnault designed a way
to bring a
glimmer of joy to the people around him; the Kit-
Cat Clock. He conceived the feline(
猫科的<
/p>
)
—
themed
product in early
1932
—
tricky eyes, black
wagging tail and all
—
but it
wasn’t until the
end of the decade when
the
depression began to lift that
production of the clocks officially began.
Originally, the smiling Kit-Cat Clock
were made entirely from metal, but as the
popularity of manufacturing
with
plastic grew, the Kit-Cat Clock soon followed
suit. Two forepaws and a bow tie were added in the
1950s, and
the wagging tail was made a
little bit fashionable. Aside from these minor
changes, however, the design remained
largely unchanged from the time of its
birth. Sadly, in the 1980s the Kit-Cat Clock
nearly went kaput
—
with motor
manufacturing relocated offshore and
batteries still in their
infancy(
幼儿期
),
it
was difficult to keep the clock’s
many
parts moving. So, it was up to the makers to come
up with a solution: a brand new, powerful piece of
battery
technology. With the Kit-Cat
Clock free to tick away another day, different
colour options and sizes, and a lady
version were eventually introduced,
too.
24. Why did Earl
Arnault design the Kit-Cat Clock?
A. To
kill the time.
B. To bring
people pleasure.
C. To
present his designing ability.
D. To encourage people to face the
crisis bravely.
25. When
was the Kit-Cat Clock put into production?
A. In the 1950s.
B. In the 1980s.
C. In the early 1930s.
D. In the late 1930s.
26. What can we infer from Paragraph
Three?
A. The Kit-Cat clock is made
totally from plastic now.
B. The Kit-Cat clock has changed
greatly since the 1950s.
C.
It was the new battery technology that saved the
Kit-Cat Clock.
D. Kit-Cat
Clocks of different shapes can be bought on the
market.
27.
What’s the passage mainly
about?
A. The history of the
Kit-Cat Clock.
B. The
design of the Kit-Cat Clock.
C. The change of the Kit-Cat Clock.
D. The purpose of the Kit-
Cat Clock.

I reached into the closet
to unfasten the Belleek
porcelain(
瓷器
) flower pinned
to a red coat. From a navy
blue jacket,
I removed a dark green feather pin. I detached a
sparkling diamond from the collar of a black
jacket.
Every
coat
and
jacket
of
my
mother
was
decorated
with
complementary
jewelry.
I
was
breaking
up
time-
honored pairings because I had to, because she
died one recent evening when she sat down to rest
and never
got up. So it was perfectly
understandable that I put in my pocket the
porcelain flower my father had sent her from
boot camp when he was a young World War
I Marine in Paris Island, South Carolina, but I
still felt like a thief,
stealing bits
and pieces of
my mother’s
life
.
Like
thieves,
my
sister
Ellen
and
I
were
going
through
her
private
items.
The
treasures
before
me
include
surprises, like a lock of hair from my
first haircu
t; my daughter’s poem to
her
grandmother; the notes from friends
and family,
including a love
note to Dad in a Father’s Day card
she
sent him. Ah, love notes.
I
once mentioned the letters between her and my
father when he served in the South Pacific. They
wrote to
each other daily for three
years, without missing a day.
“Oh
, I destroyed them,
”she
said as she casually
poured
herself a cup of tea.
“How could you do that?”
Tasked
. My mother looked at me directly
and unapologetically said,
“They were
not your letters but mine
. They were
for me alone, no one else, so I destroyed
them.
” Gone! Just like
that!
What was in them? I wondered
And yet,
as I reached through her clothes, books, photos,
the many possessions of a long life, I can see her
point,
She
had
a
right
to
keep
something
of
herself
from
the
rest
of
us.
Even
though
I
wish
she
hadn’t
,
she
possessed and protected her very
private feelings in her own inner safe. Take
everything else, she said in effect, but
not those.
28.
Why did the author take away the
jewellery on her mother’s clothes?
A. Because she wanted to sell them.
B. Because her mother
passed away,
C. Because she
liked them very much.
D.
Because her mother asked her to do so.
29.
What does the underlined
part “time
-
honored pairings”
in Paragraph 2 probably refer to?
A. Her mother and her father.
B. The author and her
mother.
C. The jewellery and the letters.
D.
The jewellery
and her mother’s clot
hes.
30. According to the author, why did
her mother destroy the letters?
A.
Because her father had passed away.
B. Because her mother thought they were
useless.
C. Because her
mother wanted to keep them to herself.
D. Because those letters were hard to
recognize over time.
31.
What may be the best title for the text?
A.
Mother’s love
.
B, The
“Thief”
in me
.
C.
Destroyed letters.
D.
Mother’s
jewellery.

Close your
eyes, What does your dream hotel look like? Docs
it have chandeliers? Do the rooms have beds
covered with rose petals? Do the
bathrooms have jacuzzis? Are there breathtaking
views from the balcony? Is the
hotel
made of brick? Marble? Ice? Ice sounds a bit
ridiculous, but a hotel made of ice is actually a
reality.
Sweden’s Icehotel
is the latest cool hotel in town
, and
it really is made of ice. So, how did this idea
come
about? It all started in 1990. A
French artist held the opening of his exhibition
in a man-made igloo on the frozen
Tome
River- home of the Icehotel.
The igloo
was named “Arctic
Hall
” and
attracted
many visitors. Amongst these
visitors
was
a
brave
group
of
adventurers
who
used
the
igloo
as
their
accommodation.
This
act
of
bravery,
(or
madness, depending on
your perspective)inspired the construction of the
Icehotel.
Situated 200 km
above the Arctic Circle, the hotel is only open
during the winter months. Why? Because the
ice starts to melt in the spring time.
This means that the hotel is built from scratch
every year. As soon as winter
begins,
architects,
ice sculptors and artists
meet in Sweden’s Lap
land to build this
beautiful creation.
But
does this hotel have any of the facilities you
find in a regular hotel? Well, actually, yes. In
fact, the ice
hotel seems to have
everything: the famous “Absolute
IceBar”
, an ice art exhibition and a
cinema. It even has an
ice sauna and
spa to keep you warm. And, of course, you can
enjoy the natural habitat that surrounds the
hotel,
There is a snowmobile safari
which takes you across the snowfields.
And if you’re feeling brave
,
you can drive the
