W: I recently read that in ten years we’ll be wearing clothes that change with the weather. So when it's cold, our clothes will warm up, and when it's hot, our clothes will cool off.
M: Oh, very funny! So we'll be wearing gigantic clothes with built-in air conditioners and heaters.
W: I'm being serious! Researchers have discovered a method of treating fibers with plastic crystals capable of storing and releasing heat as the temperature fluctuates. These treated' fibers absorb more heat than untreated fibers. Researchers are still working with this, but soon this process will be widespread.
M: That's fascinating. I didn't know that fibers had the capability of storing heat. How does that work？
W: These fibers work with the heat by rearranging their structures. The treated fibers move back and forth between two solid shapes.
M: I don't understand. What kind of shapes do they change into？
W: When the weather gets warmer, the crystals take on cube shapes and absorb heat. When the weather gets cooler, the crystals become cooler and even back to their original tetragonal structure.
M: That's truly unbelievable. You said that it'll be a decade before this type of clothes will be available. What a shame! I don't think I can wait that long.

听力原文：M: (22)Honey, I think this spring is a good time for us to start looking.
W: We should plan to move out of here before July. I'm tired of living in apartments.
M: I know, dear. I am too. But we've just been too busy to look for a house.
W: We need to find a good realtor.
M: Not necessary. (23)If we use a realtor to find a house, it will be more expensive. Realtors always get a commission. If the realtor helps us find something, we have to pay him.
W: But doesn't a realtor help with the contract？ I thought they take care of all the legal troubles. We're new in this country. We don't know all the laws of buying a house. And also, the realtor will inspect the house. He can tell us if the house has any problems.
M: Of course we need a home inspector. But we can hire an inspector on our own. (24)And as for the legal problems, I have friends. They can help us.
W: So how can we find a house if we don't have a realtor？
M: It takes a little more time. We have to check the ads in the paper. Probably also there are special real estate magazines with ads. Then we have to drive to the homes and look at them. It's best to find someone who is selling by himself.
W: Well, that will take a long time.
M: It is. But buying a house is very important; you can't be too careful.
W: (25)I want to look in the papers today. Maybe we can see something we like.
M: Alright. (25)I'll buy a newspaper when I go to the drug store.

ge is a mystery. all we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.
The power of words, then, lies in their associations --- the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increase.
Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should, therefore, learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar.

In case you haven't noticed yet, ladies and gentlemen, this enemy is ourselves. Slowly and surely we are destroying animals, ourselves and most importantly the only planet we have, Earth. You have probably all heard this speech a thousand times before, and well if this has to be the 1001 before we get off our lazy, self-destructing asses and do something to fix it, so be it!
I admit I'm no better than the rest of you at the simple things in everyday life that are destroying this planet, but the whole issue pisses me off. Our whole existence revolves around money, and our personal benefit. We have forgotten how to do things for others, how to help the planet and, in turn, how to benefit the species.
The fact is simple, people, we're killing ourselves. Many, however, don't notice it. They believe what they're doing is either beneficial, or that they are too small to do anything about it. Well, most of them are right, most of us fall under some sort of higher power, which means that the root of the problems are mainly the governments. Don't think that this is leading into one of those conspiracy-theory-type lectures, however if you'd like to call it that, I won't be one to judge. I do believe the governments know how to prevent and stop much of the problems in our world today. For example, it's a widely known fact that we have the technology to use water instead of gas for cars, but the government won't allow production because they get money off gas, and to them it's more important than a clean environment, more important than contaminating the water, or killing off animals because of the pollution even when the money they get from the gas ends up being put back into trying to control these problems anyway. And who was the guy who thought that burning fossil fuels would be a good source of energy anyway？ Did they take the first suggestion that came up or what？ Fossil fuels are not everlasting guys, HELLO! Is our species so narrow-minded that we can't see into the future and realize that one day it will run out. Or did we know that in the beginning and not care because it was the only resource we could use？ Did we then become so lazy that we couldn't spend the time and money to figure out some other sort of fuel or energy source？! This is nuts!
So go ahead try and hide. Protect yourselves with your fancy guns and munitions, run away with your trains, planes, and automobiles or go about as if nothing's happening. None of those will help you much because the only way we can shelter ourselves from what's to come is if we stop it from ever happening. Now are you all able to get off your couches, stop watching your TV and do something about it？ Didn't think so but it was worth a try anyway.

A．certain general is delivering a speech to his soldiers
B．the army is going to fight against the most deadly enemies
C．more and more people are needed to join the army
D．the author is trying to arouse people's awareness about the upcoming threat
Mystery of Time
If you can read a clock, you can know the time of day. But no one knows what time itself is. We can not see it. We can not hear it. We know it only by the way we mark its passing. For ail our success in measuring the tiniest parts of time, time remains one of the great mysteries of the universe.
One way of thinking about time is to imagine a world without time. There could be no movement, because time and movement can not be separated. A world without time could exist only as long as there were no changes, for time and change are linked. When something changes, you know time has passed. In the real world, changes never stop. Some changes happen only once in a while, like an eclipse of the moon. Others happen repeatedly, like the rising and setting of the sun. People have always noted natural events that repeat themselves. When people began to count such events, they began to measure time.
In early human history, the only changes that seemed to repeat themselves evenly were the movements of objects in the sky. The most easily seen result of these movements was the difference between light and darkness.
The sun rose in the eastern sky, producing light. It moved overhead and sank in the western sky, causing darkness. The appearance and disappearance of the sun was even and unfailing. The periods of light and darkness it created were the first accepted periods of time. We have named each period of light and darkness one day. People saw the sun rise higher in the sky during the summer than in winter. They counted the days that passed from the sun's highest position until it returned to that position. They counted 365 days. We now know that is the time Earth takes to move once around the sun. We call this period of time a year.
Early humans also noted changes in the moon. As it moved across the night sky, they must have wondered. Why did it look different every night？ Why did it disappear？ Where did it go？
Even before they learned the answers to these questions, they developed a way to use the moon's changing faces to tell time. The moon was "full" when its face was bright and round. They counted the number of times the sun appeared between full moons. They learned that this number always remained the same, about 29 suns. Twenty-nine suns equaled one moon. We now know this period of time as one month.
Early people hunted animals and gathered wild plants. They moved in groups, or tribes, from place to place in search of food. Then people learned to plant seeds and grow crops. They learned to raise animals. They found they no longer needed to move from one place to another to survive. As hunters, people did not need a way to measure time. As farmers, however, they had to plant crops in time to harvest them before winter. They had to know when the seasons would change. So they developed calendars.
No one knows when the first calendar was developed. But it seems possible that it was based on moons, or lunar months. When people started farming, the wise men of the tribes became very important. They studied the sky. They gathered enough information to be able to say when the seasons would change. They announced when it was time to plant crops.
The divisions of time we use today were developed in ancient Babylonia 4,000 years ago. Babylonian astronomers believed the sun moved around the Earth every 365 days. They divided the trip into 12 equal parts or months. Each month was 30 days. Then they divided each day into 24 equal pans, or hours. They divided each hour into 60 minutes, and each minute into 60 seconds.
Humans have used many devices to measure time. The sundial was one of the earliest and simplest. A sundial measures the movement of the sun across the sky each day. It has a stick or other object that rises above a flat surface. The stick, blocking sunlight, creates a s
