Have you ever taken photos by using mobile phones with selfie sticks(自拍杆)? For better or worse, they have taken the world by storm.
However, a pair of US artists from New Mexico, Arie Snee and Justin Crowe believe they have invented a better one and they call it “selfie arm”. This new invention is a small, useful and cleverly-designed tool. It makes those people in the pictures seem to be holding hands with a loved one.
The artists say it offers a far better experience than using a straight stick. The selfie arm makes people feel they are not alone when they take photos. It seems that they are together with their friends. They think their invention solves the main problem that the selfie stick has — people look alone while they are taking pictures of themselves with great interests. The proct, at present, just an art project and a model conveniently provides you a welcoming arm. And better yet in the future, it’ll talk in a friendly way and never get angry or upset. The pair say they are fascinated by these new ideas.
The “selfie arm” is made of fiberglass. It is lightweight and easy-taking. The project that they work on shows the growing selfie stick.

㈤ 七年级英语阅读理解及答案
第一篇：
Dear readers, I was shocked to learn that some of you were tearing up the SSP. You were also taking this nice little newspaper and, scissors in hand, cutting it into pieces! Why would anyone do such a thing? Was it anger? Vandalism? The answer, as it turned out, was a delightful surprise: you were just being very good students.
Many of you are using the SSP to improve your English. You are cutting out headlines, stories and pictures and pasting them in your notebooks. I have seen some of your work and it is very creative. The headlines, pictures and stories are cut and pasted on the left side pages of your notebooks. In the spaces between the cuttings, you have added clever drawings and clever comments. The right side pages of the notebooks you have used as word banks to build up your vocabulary.
The SSP is designed to be used in your schoolwork. The stories are written with the objective of being interesting and informative but they are also intended to help you with your studies. So it’s a good idea to save the SSP after you read it. So keep cutting up the SSP. I think it’s a great idea!

If a teacher asks, "What does the word ’March’ mean?", most students would not say it is the name of a month or a way of walking. They would say it is the name of a car! This is the power of advertising.

Advertisements have become part of our lives and we don’t even feel them. The advertisements give us some advice about goods and services.

A week later, the Indian went up to the director and said, "Tomorrow storm." The next day there was a hailstorm.
"This Indian is incredible," said the director. He told his secretary to hire the Indian to predict the weather.
However, after several successful predictions, the old Indian didn't show up for two weeks.
Finally the director sent for him. "I have to shoot a big scene tomorrow," said the director, "and I'm depending on you. What will the weather be like?"
The Indian shrugged his shoulders. "Don't know," he said. "Radio is broken."
天气预报
一个电影摄制组在沙漠深处工作.一天,一个印度老人到导演跟前告诉导演说"明天下雨."第二天果然下雨了.
一周后,印度人又来告诉导演说,"明天有风暴."果然,第二天下了雹暴.
"印度人真神,"导演说.他告诉秘书雇佣该印度人来预报天气.
几次预报都很成功.然后,接下来的两周,印度人不见了.
最后,导演派人去把他叫来了."我明天必须拍一个很大的场景,"导演说,"这得靠你了.明天天气如何啊?"

I Am Acting Like a Lady
One day when women's dresses were on sale at the FarEast Department Store, a dignified middle-aged man decided to get his wife a piece. But he soon found himself being battered by frantic women.
He stood it as long as he could; then, with head lowered and arms flailing, he plowed through the crowed.
"You there!" challenged a thrill voice. "Can't you act like a gentleman?"
"Listen," he said, "I have been acting like a gentleman for an hour. From now on, I am acting like a lady."
我要表现得象位女士
一天，远东百货公司的女装大减价，一位高贵的中年男士想给太太买一件。可是，没过多久，他发现自己已被疯狂的女人冲得踉踉跄跄。
他竭力忍耐着。后来，他低下头，挥动双臂，挤过人群。
“你干嘛？”有人尖声叫道，“你难道不能表现得象位绅士吗？”
“听着，”他说，“我已经象绅士一样表现了一个小时。从现在起，我要表现得象个女士。”

第二篇：
It’s time for lunch! Today we have obento. In fact, “obento” is a word for lunch in Japanese. It’s tasty, healthy and eye-catching.
There are some interesting rules in an obento. First, rice is separated from the other dishes. Thus the rice won’t pick up any other flavors. Besides, there is the main dish and the two side dishes. The main dish can be anything from mplings, to fried chicken, to fish. And the side dish can be anything, like salad.
During obento making, you must learn to combine the food colours of red, yellow, and green. The red food will make people feel hungry, the yellow food is usually healthy, and the green food is full of vitamins. So if you can combine these colours well, you can make a good obento.
Nowadays the obento plays a great part in Japanese life. When a class goes for an outing, all the students will bring their mom-made obento. You see, the obento is always filled with love, just as a mother said, “I remember my mother making obento for me. Now I make obento for my daughter every day. Hopefully, she’ll make obento for her children too, with the same love.”

The Artist and the Beggar (1)
An artist was coming home by train one day. He hadn’t much money but was very kind. He gave his last few coins(2) to a beggar, but he saw another one, and forgot that he didn’t have any money in his pockets. He asked the man if he liked to have lunch with him, and the beggar, of course, agreed. So they went into a small restaurant and had a good meal.
In the end, the artist could not pay the bill (3), and the beggar had to do so.
The artist felt very sorry for it, so he said to the beggar, “Come home with me in a taxi, my friend. And I’ll give you the money for our lunch."
“Oh, no!" the beggar answered quickly. “I had to pay for your lunch, but I’m not going to pay for your taxi home!"

第三篇：
In a classroom in any countries, the teacher teaches more than art or history or language. He or she teaches something behind—the culture(文化)of the country.
In a country such as the United States, people with different history, culture and language join together and they pay much attention to personal ideas. Teachers try to make each student special. Students do not have to remember a lot of information, instead, they work and find answers by themselves. There is often discussion in the classroom.
At an early age students learn to have their own ideas. Their ecation encourages personal thought(思想).
3The importance is placed on how to arrive at an answer and not only to get the correct answer.
In most Asian countries, people have the same language, history and culture. Perhaps for this reason, the ecation there pays more attention to group goals than personal ideas. Children in China and Japan often work together and help each other on homework. In the classroom, the ways of teaching are often very traditional. The teacher says, and the students listen. There is not much discussion. Instead, the students repeat(重复) rules or information that they have been taught in order to keep them in mind.
In many ways these differences come from different ecational ideas. In Western countries teachers are taught to help students to learn. They make it easier for the students to learn by themselves. 4In some Asian countries, however, teachers often feel that their job is to pass knowledge to students.

阅读理解 (20分)
A.
The world is not hungry , but it is thirsty . It seems strange that nearly 3/4 of the earth is covered with water while we say we are short of (短缺) water. Why? Because about 97% of water on the earth is sea water which we can't drink or use for watering plants directly (直接地) . Man can only drink and use the 3% - the water that comes from rivers and lakes. And we can't even use all of that, because some of it has been polluted (污染) .
Now more water is needed. The problem is: Can we avoid (避免) a serious water shortage later on? First, we should all learn how to save water. Secondly, we should find out the ways to reuse it . Scientists have always been making studies in the field. Today, in most large cities water is used only once and then runs to the sea or rivers . But it can be used again. Even if (即使) every large city reused its water, still there would not be enough. What could people turn to next?
The sea seems to have the best answer. There is a lot of water in the sea. All that needs to be done is to get the salt out of the sea water. This is expensive, but it's already used in many parts of the world. Scientists are trying to find a cheaper way of doing it. So you see, if we can find a way out, we'll be in no danger of drying up.
