On paper, hydrgen lks like a dream fuel. In practice, things are trickier. String meaningful quantities f hydrgen gas requires cmpressing (压缩) it several hundred times. Transfrming it int liquid state is anther ptin, but ne that requires cling the stuff t -253℃. Either prcess requires rugged tanks. Over time, hydrgen gas can pass slwly int metals, weakening them and ptentially causing cracks. Tanks must be built frm special materials designed t resist this breakdwn.
Researchers at the Fraunhfer Institute led by Marcus Vgt, think that supplying hydrgen as gp (糊状) ffers a way arund sme f its limitatins. They have been experimenting with a chemical cmpund that can be pumped int a cntainer and then persuaded t give ff its hydrgen n demand.
Their inventin, which they nickname “pwerpaste”, lks like tthpaste. Its main ingredient is magnesium hydride, a cmpund that when intrduced t water, reacts with it t frm hydrgen and magnesium hydrxide. The escaped hydrgen can then be redirected int a fuel cell, where it reacts with xygen frm the air t generate electric pwer. The magnesium hydrxide waste is emptied frm the reactr autmatically.
Dr Vgt’s scheme ffers several advantages ver batteries, petrl and mre cnventinal ways f handling hydrgen. One is the strage f energy than either batteries r petrl can manage. A secnd is ease f refilling, which is simply a matter f swapping an empty cntainer f paste fr a full ne, and tpping up the water, which is stred in a separate tank. A third advantage is that, unlike a battery, the paste des nt gradually lse its stred energy if it is left n the shelf. Mrever, the paste itself is harmless, as are the reactin’s by-prducts.
But there are still mre t wrk thrugh. Magnesium hydride reacts nly slwly with water. T vercme this, Dr Vgt and his team have fund a chemical additive that greatly accelerates the reactin. They have als fund a way t ensure that the reactin can be cntrlled precisely enugh t supply nly as much hydrgen as is needed at any given mment.
28．Which f the fllwing best explains “rugged” underlined in paragraph 1?
A．Creative.B．Fragile.C．Tugh.D．Enrmus.
29．What can we knw abut the inventin accrding t paragraph 3?
A．Magnesium hydride mixed with water releases hydrgen.
B．Several chemical reactins ccur in the same tank.
C．Water and electricity are necessary in the prcess.
D．The remaining waste needs remving with extra help.
30．Hw is paragraph 4 mainly develped?
A．By prviding examples.B．By drawing cmparisns.
C．By quting sayings.D．By explaining a cncept.
31．What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A．Dream Fuel: Hydrgen GasB．New Clean Energy
C．Advantages f Hydrgen GpD．“Tthpaste” in Yur Tank

The Underging Welfare Refrm
While still in its early stages, welfare refrm has already been judged a great success in many states -- at least in getting peple ff welfare. It's estimated that mre than 2 millin peple have left the rlls since 1994.
In the past fur years, welfare rlls in Athens Cunty have been cut in half. But 70 percent f the peple wh left in the past tw years tk jbs that paid less than $6 an hur. The result: The Athens Cunty pverty rate still remains at mre than 30 percent -- twice the natinal average. Fr advcates fr the pr, that's an indicatin that much mre needs t be dne.
"Mre peple are getting jbs, but it's nt making their lives any better," says Kathy Lairn, a plicy analyst at the Center n Budget and Plicy Pririties in Washingtn.
A center analysis f US Census data natinwide fund that last year, a greater percentage f single, female-headed husehlds were earning mney n their wn, but that average incme fr these husehlds actually went dwn.
But fr many, the fact that pr peple are able t supprt themselves almst as well withut gvernment aid as they did with it is in itself a huge victry.
"Welfare was a pisn. It was a txin that was pisning the family," says Rbert Rectr, a welfare-refrm plicy analyst. "The refrm is changing the mral climate in lw-incme cmmunities. It's beginning t rebuild the wrk ethic, which is much mre imprtant."
Mr. Rectr and thers argued that nce "the habit f dependency is cracked," then the cuntry can make ther plicy changes aimed at imprving living standards.
32．Why dn't peple enjy their lives better when they get jbs?
A．Because they are used t relying n welfare t make livings.
B．Because the cst f living is higher than befre.
C．Because many families are nt satisfied with their incme.
D．Because their wages are very lw.
33．Frm the passage we knw that the recnstructin f is the cre f the refrm.
A．gvernment aidsB．wrk ethic
C．welfare fundsD．mral awareness
34．Frm the example f the Athens Cuntry, we knw great effrts shuld be made fr the pr t ________.
A．imprve their living standardsB．help them be emplyed
C．get them ff welfare.D．increase their wage
35．Frm the passage, it can be inferred that the authr .
A．is cmpletely certain abut the success f welfare refrm
B．thinks that welfare refrm has dne little gd fr the pr
C．cnsiders welfare refrm successful n the whle
D．insists welfare refrm has increased the gvernment's burden
