It was Christmas Eve when my elder sister and I decided to open our presents before our
mom got home from work. She usually came home about an hour after we got home from school,
which we thought was plenty of time to take a peek at the gifts under the tree.
My elder sister opened present after present while I was ordered to stand guard at the big
window in our front room. Finally, when my sister’s curiosity was satisfied, we traded places.
After unwrapping a few presents, I found it faster to open one end of a present and peek
inside.
“Cool! Mom and Dad got me head phones for my stereo!” I pulled the headphones out of the
box and was about to put them on when my sister shouted, “Quick! Wrap it back up! Mom’s
coming!”
I put the headphones back hurriedly in the box but my hands were shaking. My heart
pounded harder as I tried to get the tape to stick. I had just finished burying the package with my
headphones in it when my mother came into the front room. I jumped up and said, “Hi, Mom!”
She smiled at me and said “Hi” back, but didn’t appear to suspect a thing. My heart began to slow
as I took a deep breath. On Christmas morning, my sister and I smiled and gave award-winning
performances when we opened our presents-again. “Headphones!” I shouted. “Thanks, it’s just
what I wanted.” After everything had been opened, my sister and I looked at each other, and our
eyes met. Our secret was safe, but somehow Christmas morning didn’t feel the same.
My sister and I never opened our Christmas presents early again. I don’t know if it was that
opening our gifts for the second time just wasn’t as much fun as the first time, or if we came too
close to getting caught and didn’t want to think about what our mother would have done to us.

A. He didn’t like the headphones.
B. He missed his Christmas present.
C. He wasn’t pleased with his mother.
D. He regretted what he had done.
C
A new underwater camera developed recently at Massachusetts Institute of Technology
(MIT) could have many uses, including climate modeling.
More than 95 percent of the earth’s oceans have never been observed. This means we have
seen less of our planet’s ocean than we have the far side of the moon or the surface of Mars. What
is preventing widespread undersea exploration? The answer is the high cost of powering an
underwater camera for a long time.
MIT researchers have taken a big step to solve this problem. They developed a new
underwater camera. The camera is about 100, 000 times more energy-saving than other undersea
cameras. It takes color photos, even in dark underwater environments, and sends images through
the water. Most importantly, it can work for a very long time by powering itself.
The camera turns energy from sound waves traveling through water into electrical energy. It
uses the electrical energy to power its imaging and communication equipment. After capturing
images in the ocean, the camera also uses sound waves to send them to a receiver. The camera
doesn’t need a power source, so it could run for weeks on end. And this allows scientists to search
more parts of the ocean. The camera could also be used to capture images of ocean pollution.
“We can use the camera to help us learn what is happening to the climate. Personally, this is
one of the most exciting things about the camera. We are building climate models, but we need to
know more about the ocean. This technology could help us build more detailed climate models
and better understand how climate change impacts the underwater world,” says Fadel Adib,
director of the Signal Kinetics group in the MIT Media Lab.
28. Why does the author mention the moon and Mars?
A. To explain the difficulty in scientific research.
B. To indicate it is necessary to observe the ocean.
C. To correct a misunderstanding about the ocean.
D. To show our knowledge of the ocean is limited.
29. Why is the new camera considered a big step?
A. It takes over 100,000 photos.
B. It works for a long time underwater.
C. It costs little to build such a camera.
D. It functions well in dark environments.
30. What is the main idea of the fourth paragraph?
A. How the camera works.
B. What the camera looks like.
C. How the camera moves underwater.
D. Which parts of the ocean the camera works in.
31. What can the camera help scientists do according to Fadel Adib?
A. Prevent the ocean getting polluted.
