17．A terrible competition is going on in England，with billions of dollars and hundreds of lives at risk．OK，that's not true．But competitors from around the world gathered on Thursday for the annual competition to compete for the world's biggest person who tells lies．
Each participant（參與者） is given up to five minutes to make up the best fib in the contest，which was founded in honor of 1 9th-century Bridge Inn landlord Will Ritson，who was reportedly famous for his lies．Competitors gather at the Bridge Inn every year for the competition，a small pub in northwestern England．Anyone but lawyers and politicians can take part in the competition．

A churchman of Carlisle reportedly holds what may be the greatest lie of all time in the competition，simply stating，"I have never told a lie in my life．"
In 2003，Abrie Krueger from South Africa became the first one to win the competition．In 2006，comedian Sue Perkins became the first female to win the competition，telling a tale about people riding camels to work as a result of climate change．

18．Parents who exert too much control over their children could be causing them lifelong psychological damage，according to a study which tracked a group of people born in the 1940s until the present day．
Researchers found that people who reported that parents had intruded on their privacy in childhood or encouraged dependence were more likely to have low scores in surveys of happiness and general wellbeing carried out in their teens，their 30s，their 40s and even their 60s．
The negative impact on wellbeing was comparable in degree to that observed in people who have lost a family member，experts from University College London （UCL） said．
In contrast，people who said their parents were more caring，warm and responsive to their needs tended to be more content well into adulthood．
The findings are the culmination of a survey which has tracked more than 5，000 people since their birth in 1946．It is well-established that childhood influences can have profound effect on the
developing brain，but this is one of the first studies that have attempted to measure their impact over
such a long period of time．
Information on parenting styles was only available from the study participants themselves，who were asked to recall  their childhoods when in their 40s，and may therefore suffer from a degree  of so-called recall bias-unhappy people may be more likely to depict their parents as controlling．
However，the research said the findings agreed with previous studies which have shown that children who are  able to form secure emotional bonds with parents are more likely to have secure happy relationships later in life．
"parents also give us stable base from which to explore the world while warmth and responsiveness has been shown to promote social and emotional development，"said Dr．Maid Stafford，of the Medical Research Council's（MRC） Lifelong and Ageing unit at UCL．
"By contrast，psychological control can limit a child's independence and leave them less able to regulate  their own behaviour．"Dr Stafford said that the study did not seek to blame parents．
"Parents are vitally important to the mental wellbeing of future generations，"she said．
"Policies to reduce economic and other pressures on parents could help them to foster better relationships with their children．"
Previous research has shown a clear link between economic stress in parents and poorer early child development．
32．What can be inferred from the passage？C
A．Various parenting styles can count．
B．An unfair finding can easily mislead parents．
C．There is a side effect from too much control over children．
D．There is a link between parents'economy and child development．
33．According to the passage，which of the following statements is TRUE？D
A．Children should say no to parents'control．
B．Physical control can limit a child's independence．
C．Parents'control over children is completely wrong．
D．People of many age ranges are interviewed in the survey．
34．The study，according to Dr Stafford，is intended toD．
A．blame parents with control over children
B．encourage the children's dependence
C．point out the necessity of parenting
D．build up proper parenting styles
35．The underlined word"culmination"in Paragraph Five probably meansA．
A．result              
B．effect
C．prediction          
D．warning．

15．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 （苔蘚） 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 （濕度） 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 OneD．

8．Tens of thousands of South Africans have joined dozens of world leaders for the national memorial service for former President Nelson Mandela．The service was held in front of a noisy crowd in the FNB stadium in Johannesburg．
US President Barack Obama said Mr Mandela was a"giant of history"，describing him as the last great liberator of the 20th Century．The former South African president died last Thursday，aged 95．
The country is observing a series of commemorations（紀(jì)念） leading up to the funeral on Sunday．The memorial service，which began at about 12：00 （10：00 GMT），lasted about four hours．It was one of the biggest gatherings of international dignitaries（高層） in recent years，with more than 100 current（現(xiàn)任的） or former heads of state or government attending．
There had been fears people would be turned away．But with heavy rain，security and transport issues，and the fact that Tuesday was not declared a national holiday，areas of the 95，000-capacity stadium remained empty．Introducing the proceedings，the master of ceremonies，Cyril Ramaphosa，said that Mr Mandela's"long walk is over…and he can finally rest"．
Current South African President Jacob Zuma made the keynote address but was booed （喝倒彩）in some parts of the ceremony．He said Mr Mandela was"one of a kind…a fearless freedom fighter who refused to allow the cruelty of the apartheid（種族隔離） state to stand in way of the struggle for the liberation of his people"．Mr Zuma announced he was renaming the Union Buildings in Pretoria，where Mr Mandela will lie，as the Mandela Amphitheatre．
Earlier Mr Obama delivered his address，carried on the White House web site，to huge cheers．He said："It is hard to eulogise（頌揚） any man…h(huán)ow much harder to do so for a giant of history，who moved a nation towards justice．"He said Nelson Mandela had taught the world the power of action and the power of ideas，and that it had taken a man like Mr Mandela to free not only the prisoner but also the jailer．
60．Why was the memorial service said to be one of the biggest gatherings of international dignities in recent years？．D
A．Because large amounts of money had been spent．
B．Because everyone in the country had been asked to attend．
C．Because Nelson Mandela had taught the world the power of action．
D．Because more than 100 current or former heads of state or government attended it
61．The memorial service for Nelson Mandela took placeB
A．on Sunday 
B．on Tuesday 
C．on Thursday
D..on the day the passage doesn't mention
62．When Mr．Obama said"It is hard to eulogise（頌揚） any man…h(huán)ow much harder to do so for a giant of history…"，he meantB．
