You might think people all over the United States have Wi-Fi—wireless Internet service—and mobile phones. But there is no such service in Green Bank，West Virginia，a tiny town four hours from the US capital，Washington D．C. Fewer than 150 people live in Green Bank，which has two churches，an elementary school and a public library. It is also home to the largest radio telescope in the world.

There is a ban(禁令) on Wi-Fi in Green Bank，along with anything else that can create electromagnetic(电磁的) waves. Officials say the waves could disturb the signals the telescope receives.

For many Americans，a visit to Green Bank is a little like returning to the 1950s. To get there, you must read road signs because there is no GPS service in the town.People can connect with the Internet through telephones，but wireless service is not allowed.

The observatory(天文台) is one of the largest employers in the area. The National Science Foundation (NSF) spends about $8.2 million a year to operate the observatory，telescope and educational center.

Jonah Bauserman is a technician. If he supposes there is a signal that is not allowed in the zone，he drives to the house where the signal is coming from and checks it.But once a week，when the device is cleaned，some banned devices are allowed near it.

People in the town respect the work of the scientists. And they say they are happy to live without Wi-Fi and mobile phones.“You know，instead of sitting here with our phones and other devices we’re out fishing，hunting and going to each other’s houses.” Everyone knows each other and communication is almost always face to face.

8．What will you see when you pay a visit to Green Bank?

A．GPS service.  B．Guide posts.

C．Cellphone towers.   D．Radio-controlled toys.

9．What is Jonah Bauserman’s duty in his work?

A．Following signals from cellphones.

B．Cleaning the telescope once a week.

C．Listening for signals from outer space.

D．Protecting the telescope from being affected.

10．What has the telescope brought to the local people?

A．Great wealth.

B．Many job chances.

C．A healthier lifestyle.

D．Much difficulty in life.

11．What may be the best title for this text?

A．An American Town Without Wi-Fi and Mobile Phones

B．Good Relationships Between People in an American Town

C．The Largest Radio Telescope in the World

D．A Better Life Without Wireless Devices

As we all know，music plays an important role in our life.First，it can make us feel relaxed both mentally and physically，thus helping reduce our pressure at work and in life.Second，music can excite and encourage us as well when we meet various troubles and feel sad.Moreover，music can have a comforting impact and help us step out of difficulty when we’re worried.In addition，music，as a universal language，can be of great help to learning another culture.

As far as I’m concerned，music is part of our life.We can’t live a happy life without the company of music.

Thank you very much for your attention.
