When he arrived at New Lanark it was a dirty little town with a population of 2,000 people. Nobodypaid any attention to the workers" houses or their children"s education. The conditions in the factories were very bad. There was a lot of crime and the men spent most of their wages on alcoholic drinks.
Owen improved the houses. He encouraged people to be clean and save money. He opened a shop and sold the workers cheap, well-made goods to help them. He limited the sale of alcoholic drinks. Above all, he fixed his mind on the children"s education. In 1816 he opened the first free primary school in Britain.
People came from all over the country to visit Owen"s factory. They saw that the workers were healthier and more efficient than in other towns. Their children were better fed and better educated. Owen tried the same experiment in the United States. He bought some land there in 1825,but the community was too far away. He could not keep it under control and lost most of his money.
Owen never stopped fighting for his idea. Above all he believed that people are not born good or bad.

JSC Boggs is an artist who makes money.To be exact,he draws money.In the United States he draws dollars,in Britain pounds and in France francs.Each are almost perfect reproductions,apart from the fact that he writes "Bank of Boggs" or another humorous message on them.
When Boggs goes shopping or for a meal,he offers "Boggs dollars" in the payment for what he wants.He also offers real money.It is up to the people selling the goods to take whichever they prefer.
When a shopkeeper or a restaurant owner takes a "Boggs dollar",he or she gives a receipt in return for the things bought.Boggs then sells the receipt at face value to art collectors.This is how he makes actual money for the times when people will not accept his drawings.
The collector uses the receipt to find the person holding the actual "Boggs dollar" and the two talk over what they think would be a fair price.This gives the shop or restaurant owner the chance to make another profit on the goods he or she sold to Boggs.It means Boggs actually gets paid for buying things.And it means that the collector has a unique work of art---each "Boggs dollar" is separately drawn.
Artists like to make us think.What Boggs wants us to think about is the nature of value and money. What is money really worth? Is value of money the same as personal value? Once "Boggs dollars " have been given away by the artist,they often continuew to circulate and grow on value A "Boggs one dollar bill" may have bought the artist a cup of coffee in New York.Now it may be worth a car or an expensive meal.It all depends on that value a person chooses to give it.
Money used to be worth a certain weight in gold or silver.Now it is just worth whatever the government or the banks.JSC Boggs is trying to start another type of money.People can choose "Boggs dolars" or not.And their value is up to whoever uses them.In a way,"Boggs dollars" are "people"s money".
56.How much will Boggs get if he buys a cup of coffee with a "Boggs one dollar bill"?
A.One dollar. B.More than one dollar.
C.Less than one dollar. D.Much more than one dollar.
57.According to the text,the main difference between"value of money "and "personal value" is that ______.
A.they rise or fall separately B.they refer to different people
C.they are decided by different people D.they are decided by different banks
58.What does the writer mean by saying "Boggs dollars are people"s money"?
A.They are two different types of money.
B.In fact they are not real money.
C.People can share them and use them among themselves.
D.People are free to use them and deck their value.
59.Choose the girht order in which Boggs gets paid.
a.He buys things with his dollars.
b.He sells the receipt to an art collector.
c.He araws dollars.
d.The art collector finds the shopkeeper to buy his dollars.

Fever has usually been regarded as a threat to health.However,no one has actually proved that fever is dangerous.This fact attracted the attention of Matthew J.Kluger.Imagining that fever might not be as harmful as it had been supposed,Kluger set up a series of experiments with lizards(蜥蜴).
What Kluger and his team did his team did in their first experiment was simple.They put some lizards in a sand-box,one end of which was heated to 44℃,while the other was at a room temperature.It was found that the lizards moved form one part of the box to the other in order to keep a constant temperature of about 38℃.Having shown that normal lizards regulate(调节) their own temperature,Kuger,in a second experiment,then set out to show that lizards,like most other animals,develop fever when infected.This was done by making lizards infected with bacteria (细菌) that were known to cause disease.As the team expected,the infected lizards remained longer in the heated part of the box,until they had raised their body temperatures to two or three degrees above normal.In other words,the sick lizards gave themselves fever.
In a third experiment,the team observed the effect of temperature on the survival of the lizards.One group of infected lizards was given a fever - suppressing(退烧) drug.The other group was given no drug and ran a fever,that is to say,they kept a highter temperature for four or five days before seeking a cooler environment.The results were impressive.Of those which raised their body temperature,all but one remained alive.Of those given the fever - suppressing drug,more than half died.Similar results have since been produced in other animals.For example,infeced fish swim to warmer water,and will die if not allowed to do so.
An important conclusion can be drawn from these experiments.As Kluger points out,lizards have been on earth for hundreds of millions of years.It is reasonable to suppose that a response that is so old has been kept by nature for some purpose.It would appear, therefore, that fever does not make disease worse.Rather it its part of the mechanism(机能) by which infection is controlled.
60.In his experiments,Kluger was hoping to prove that fever ________.
A.is not harmful to lizards
B.is not necessarily bad
C.is necessary for both humans and animals
D.has the same effect on humans and animals
61.The lizards put in the sand - box in the first experiment _____.
A.had a fever B.were not sick C.recovered from disease D.died of heat
62.In the third experiment,the lizards given a fever - suppressing drug died because _____.
A.they had no more fever that they needed
B.they were normal ones and had no fever
C.the drug had no iffect on sick lizards
D.the drug made their body temperature too low
63.How would you understand the underlined words"a response" in the last paragraph?
A.Gause of disease. B.Recovery from disease.
C.Relationship between living D.Natural defense in the body against disease.

How to protect child Web fans from unsuitable material online while encouraging them to use the Internet has long been discussed.
For some parents, the Internet seems like a jungle, filled with dangers for their children.But jungles contain wonders as well as dangers.With good guides and some education, the madness for the Internet can be safely conducted.“Kids have to be online.If we tell our kids they can’t have access to the Internet, we are cutting them off from their future.”
Most kids have started to use search engines.Many of them are great for finding tons of interesting Internet sites, but they can also locate places where you might not want your kids to go.There are search engines designed just for kids.One certain software contains only sites that have been selected as safe.The most popular way to limit access would be to use what is known as a “content screener”.But this can be wholly reliable, and the best thing parents can do is to talk to their kids and let them know what is OK or not OK to see or do on the Internet.Another way is that Mum or Dad is nearby when the child is surfing the Internet.
A few other tips :
—Don’t put the PC in a child’s room but where Mum or Dad can keep an eye on things.That also makes the Internet more of a family activity.
—Ask your child what he or she has been doing and about any friends they make online.
—Tell your child not to give online strangers personal information, especially like address and phone number.
—And tell your child never to talk to people he or she meets online over the phone, send them anything, accept anything from them or agree to meet with them unless you go along.
