Creative alarm clocks
Dumbbell(亚铃)alarm clock

Target alarm clock
The alarm is ringing at the time you set it for! Do you see the target? Then hit it to stop the sound with a laser gun. Of course you have to be fully awake if you don’t want to miss the target.
Flying alarm clock
I’m sure you won’t be able to simply ignore this alarm as you usually do, because it flies! Its propeller(螺旋桨)flying off the alarm is the key. Before the frightening alarm sounds drive you crazy, you’d better quickly put the key back.
Banclock

At the age of six weeks, Lilo seemed like the perfect family pet. His family’s 9-year-old girl loved to brush his beautiful fur. But as Lilo grew up, he didn’t like being brushed.
One day, as the little girl approached him, Lilo hit her with his large paw. The girl’s arm was badly injured. It’s rare for a family pet to attack its loving owner. But Lilo should never have been anyone’s pet. This cute and playful “cat” was actually a tiger, one of at least 15,000 tigers, lions, and other big cats now kept as pets in American homes and backyard zoos.
“People love these animals and they love the idea of owning something wild and strange,” says Nicole Paquette of the Animal Protection Institute. “They have no idea how hard it is to take care of them. Tigers like Lilo can grow to weigh 650 pounds. They eat 15 pounds of raw meat per day. Their powerful paws can destroy a human skull. Dozens of people each year are injured or killed by pet tigers and other big cats.”
The situation can also be deadly for the big cats themselves. Fully grown cats often end up confined to small cages that are never cleaned because their owners are afraid to get too close. Living in squalid conditions, the cats become sickly and often more aggressive. Many animals die from neglect.
Shirley Minshew works for the International Fund for Animal Welfare, an organization that rescues abandoned big cats. She helps place some fortunate cats in sanctuaries, private shelters that keep the cats well fed and safe. But as Minshew says, “Most of these sanctuaries are already full. So are big city zoos. The only solution is for people to stop buying these animals.”
“Wild animals are exactly that-wild.” says Minshew. “Although they can be kept in cages, they are not tamable(可[服的). They will never be like a dog or a cat. They are wild-and they should be allowed to stay that way.”
24. Why did the author mention Lilo in the first two paragraphs? A. To entertain readers. B. To tell a terrifying story.
C. To show wild animals are unsuitable pets. D. To excite people’s interest in keeping animals. 25. What can we infer from Paquette’s words? A. Tigers are illegal to own.
B. Taking care of tigers is exciting C. Pet tigers are cute but grow quickly.

D. Keeping big cats as pets is dangerous.
26. What does the underlined word “squalid” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Scary B. Dirty C. Normal D. Comfortable

D. Sanctuaries are the best places for wild animals. C
Should our planet become unable to sustain human life, our species’ only hope would be to leave and settle on another planet. To ensure it a success, we first have to learn how to reproduce in space. The Netherlands-based project Spacelife Origin wants to get the ball rolling by sending a pregnant woman into space to give birth to a baby.
According to Egbert Edelbroek, one of the CEOS of the Dutch project, learning how to give birth in space is an insurance policy for the human race. Even if we ever discover or build an inhabitable(可居住的)place away from Earth, we must first uncover the secrets of space birth if we stand any chance of survival. He claims that he has already met with several spaceflight companies willing to transport the team 250 miles above the ground, some wealthy people willing to finance the experiment, and some women willing to become the first to give birth in space.
However, even if Spacelife Origin manages to find a volunteer, a commercial rocket and the money necessary to fund the whole thing. the mission is still bound to meet some problems. Getting the pregnant woman into space just before she’s ready to deliver the baby sounds difficult enough, but it’s the safety of the baby and the childbirth itself that experts are worried about. Astronauts usually experience three times the force of gravity during a rocket’s rise to orbit, and no one knows how that will affect the baby or the mother. Assuming that everything goes right, there’s still a problem of how to get back to Earth. These days, that means surviving a bone-rattling(震动骨头的)free fall through the atmosphere, followed by a parachute landing in some desert, not exactly the kind of experience a newborn and its mother should go through.
Spacelife Origin acknowledges that its plan still has unknowns, but that’s the main reason for this pioneering mission, to find answers.
28. The purpose of the Netherlands-based project Spacelife Origin is _______. A. to start a ball game
B. to send a pregnant woman into space C. to help humans to find another planet
D. to research how humans to give birth in space
29. What is the attitude of Egbert Edelbroek towards the project? A. Worried. B. Enthusiastic. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent. 30. What can we learn from the text?
A. The pregnant woman will land on Earth safely. B. Some rich men assisted the project mentioned.
C. Scientists are finding ways to help humans multiply in space. D. Humans have discovered an inhabitable place away from Earth. 31. The best title of the text can be _______.

It’s a cold autumn afternoon but inside a little Brooklyn bakery, it’s hot. School has just let out and the store is filled with kids eyeing baked goodies.
La Gran Via Bakery is an institution in this neighborhood. It’s been around since 1978-three generations of chefs making cakes and cupcakes.
That is why, when co-owner Betsy Leyva was recently offered the chance of creating a hamburger restaurant on the side, she hesitated.
“I was like, are you crazy? What do you mean?” she says. Uber, the ride-sharing company, was suggesting she create a “virtual restaurant” — one that only exists online, and delivers through Uber Eats.
There are now about 800 such virtual restaurants in the US, often created when enough customers look through the Uber Eats app for a certain type of food in their area that they can’t find.
“When we see people searching for something but not finding it, that signals to us that there’s an opportunity” says Elyse Propis, who leads Uber Eats’ virtual restaurant initiative(行动)across North America.
So the company approaches a restaurant and suggests creating a virtual side restaurant, with those dishes people are wanting but can’t get.
Uber says doing this helps restaurants grow their business and cater better to customers. But there are mixed feelings in the industry about whether these virtual restaurants are a good thing.
Leyva, has nothing but praise for Uber Eats. In the end it was her brother, the bakery’s co-owner, who persuaded her to give it a try. And that’s how the online restaurant Brooklyn Burger House was born.
Leyva says that during Brooklyn Burger’s opening week, she thought she’d go crazy. The demand was so high she was constantly running out of ingredients. It hasn’t died down-she had to hire additional staff.
Not everyone sees Uber Eats and the virtual restaurant as a natural solution.
“Restaurant profits can be as skinny as the thin crusts(面包皮). And Uber Eats is taking a big part of the earnings,” says Jay Jerrier, owner of the Cane Rosso wood-fired pizzerias in Texas. “They charge us between 30 and 35 percent of whatever the bill is.” 32. What do we know about La Gran Via Bakery? A. It opened recently. B. It lies in a high school. C. It is a virtual restaurant.
D. It is popular in the neighborhood.
33. Uber will create a virtual restaurant when _______. A. it finds unmet demand B. Uber Eats fails to work
C. a type of food comes into fashion D. enough people go to a real restaurant
34. How is the business of Brooklyn Burger? A. It is worrying. B. It is very good.
