Eco-friendly Car Racer

Can you image a car racer is so eco-friendly that its tyres are made from potatoes, its body is created from hemp (大麻) and rapeseed oil and it runs on fuel made from wheat and sugar beet? The one-seater racing car called Eco One is built by experts from Warwick University, who hope that Eco One will be adopted by the automotive industry. It is sold at $ 51,000.

Pollution-sensitive Dress

Don’t be caught outside unaware of pollution levels in the air. The pollution-sensitive EPA Dress by Stephanie Sandstrom notices pollution in the air accordingly. This dress – which is actually quite pretty – looks like you pull it from the bottom of the dirty laundry pile when the air is dirty. It might protect your health by advising you to stay indoors for the day, but it won’t do you any favor if you’re meeting with clients.?

Eco-friendly Umbrella

Traditional umbrellas come with a fixed surface. Although it is changeable, you cannot replace it easily. This eco-friendly design is more flexible. It is actually only an umbrella skeleton without any surface, which can be folded, so you can put anything such as newspapers, plastic bags or whatever you want to serve as the protecting surface.

Eco-friendly Moss (苔藓) Carpet

It is said that walking on fresh grass increases your blood circulation. The Moss Carpet, created by Nguyen La Chanh, looks at getting the grass to your feet. The mat includes ball moss, island moss and forest moss. The humidity (湿度) of the bathroom ensures that it grows well. And that’s why you need to place it there and not anywhere else.?

21. According to Paragraph 1, we can find Eco One _____．

A. can seat one passenger and one driver

B. can’t be afforded by the public at present

C. is mainly made from some kinds of plants

D. will take the place of the traditional car industry

22. Why is EPA Dress designed?

A. To advise people to stay at home as often as possible

B. To keep users informed of the polluted levels in the air.

C. To make women look pretty even in the polluted air.

D. To stop people from meeting their clients if necessary.

23. Compared with traditional umbrellas, the Eco-friendly Umbrella _____．

A. is changeable B. hasn’t any surface

C. can be folded D. is made of newspapers

24. Where does the text probably come from?

A. A science report B. A personal blog

C. A health report D. An official document

B

It would be perfect if you would not have to answer your boss，you would have flexible working hours and you would be able to earn satisfactory money without putting much effort. In order to live that successful life of freedom，you would need to become a successful businessman. You would need to build your online business in a way that it would be working like a self-replicating(自我复制的) system to create a continuous stream of income for you.

If you are looking for that self-replicating system，there are a number of products available in market saying they can make you a millionaire in few days. I have been doing research about them and found a solution in the form of Coffee Shop Millionaire. It is a good way to create that self-replicating system to provide you a satisfactory income.

First of all，Coffee Shop Millionaire is not one of those tricks to make you a millionaire in few days. Instead，it is about creating a lifestyle of complete freedom. You can live wherever you want and work wherever and whenever you want to work without being answerable to anyone. It is a complete product. It includes tools，training and step-by-step guidance to get you started to make money online.

No matter where you are and who you are，Coffee Shop Millionaire contains several ways to help you earn full-time income online. Specifically，it is recommended to go through its eight weeks of training from Six Figure Secrets Club and $21k System. These two areas specifically aim to teach you how to make money online.

As we have talked about its positive points，now let’s have a look at its flaws(缺点)．It has been observed that Coffee Shop Millionaire has just too much information to grasp for a beginner. If its product training and tools are more directional for beginners，it would be more effective.

If I have to give conclusive remarks about Coffee Shop Millionaire，I would say，if you could make use of all its tools and training properly，it can be beneficial for you to earn money online. On the other hand，if you just want to experiment with it，Coffee Shop Millionaire may not work for you.

25．The first paragraph serves as a(n) ________.

A．background B．introduction C．comment D．explanation

26．Coffee Shop Millionaire is strongly recommended by the writer because ________.

A．it is a good case of doing online business

B．it is a workshop established by the writer

C．it can help a person do business in a systematic way

D．it can provide many job opportunities for job hunters

27．What is the purpose of the last paragraph?

A．To tell us earning money online is challenging and risky.

B．To show earning money online doesn’t work for everyone.

C．To tell us one should have full confidence in Coffee Shop Millionaire.

D．To show the writer is doubtful about Coffee Shop Millionaire.

C

Two of the hardest things to accomplish in this world are to acquire wealth by honest effort and, having gained it, to learn how to use it properly. Recently I walked into the locker room of a rather well-known golf club after finishing a round. It was in the late afternoon and most of the members had left for their homes. But a half-dozen or so men past middle age were still seated at tables talking aimlessly and drinking more than was good for them. These same men can be found there day after day. And, strangely enough, each one of these men had been a man of affairs and wealth，successful in business and respected in the community. If material prosperity were the chief necessity for happiness, then each one should have been happy. Yet, it seemed to me, something very important was missing, or else there would not have been the constant effort to escape the realities of life through scotch and soda. They knew, each one of them，that their productivity had ceased (停止). When a fruit tree ceases to bear its fruit, it is dying. And it is even so with man.

What is the answer to a long and happy existence in this world of ours? I think I found it long ago in a passage from the book of Genesis which caught my eye while I was looking through my Bible. The words were few, but they became memorably impressed on my mind: “In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread.”

To me, that has been a challenge from my earliest recollections (memories). In fact, the battle of life, of existence, is a challenge to everyone. The immortal words of St. Paul, too, have been and always will be a great inspiration to me. At the end of the road I want to be able to feel that I have fought a good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.
