• 2．For people，who are interested in sound，the field of sound technology is definitely making noise.In the past，sound engineers worked in the back rooms of recording studios，but many of today's sound professionals are sharing their knowledge and experience with professionals in other fields to create new products based on the phenomenon we call sound.
     Sound can be used as a weapon.Imagine that a police officer is chasing a thief.The thief tries to escape.And the officer can't let him get away.He pulls out a special device，points it at the suspect，and switches it on.The thief drops to the ground.This new weapon is called a Long Range Acoustic Device （LRAD，遠(yuǎn)程定向聲波發(fā)射器）.It produces a deafening sound so painful that it temporarily disables a person.The noise from the LRAD is directed like a ray of light and travels only into the ears of that person，but it is not deadly.
     For those who hunger for some peace and quiet，sound can now create silence.Let's say you are at the airport，and the little boy on the seat next to you is humming （哼唱） a short commercial song.He hums it over and over again，and you are about to go crazy.Thanks to the Silence Machine，a British invention，you can get rid of the sound without upsetting the boy or his parents.One may wonder how the Silence Machine works.Well，it functions by analyzing the waves of the incoming sound and creating a second set of outgoing waves.The two sets of waves cancel each other out.Simply turn the machine on point it at the target，and your peace and quiet comes back.
     Directed sound is a new technology that allows companies to use sound in much the same way spotlights （聚光燈） are used in the theater.A spotlight lights up only one section of a stage；similarly，a "spotsound" creates a circle of sound in one targeted area.This can be useful for businesses such as restaurants and stores because it offers a new way to attract customers.Restaurants can offer a choice of music along with the various food choices on the menu，allowing customers more control over the atmosphere in which they are dining.Directed sound is also beginning to appear in shopping centers and even at homes.
  
  （1）What could be inferred from Paragraph 2 about the effect of the LRAD？

  
  A．It causes temporary hearing loss.
  B．It forever disables a running man.
  C．It makes it easy to identify a suspect.
  D．It keeps the suspect from hurting others.
  （2）What feature do spotsounds and spotlights share？

  
  A．They travel in circles.
  B．They clear the atmosphere.
  C．They can be transformed into energy.
  D．They can be directed onto a specific area.
  （3）What does the passage focus on？

  
  A．How professionals invented sound products.
  B．Inventions in the field of sound technology.
  C．The growing interest in the study of sound.
  D．How sound engineers work in their studios.

      September is most beautiful in Strathroy，where people wholeheartedly enjoy the simple pleasures of life and nature.
     Roland was no exception.He was a magnificent German Shepherd（德國(guó)牧羊犬），a little lazy and overweight though.He loved to doze in the backyard.He yawned and stretched his body as he heard the slowly approaching footsteps of Mrs.Proudfoot."Come have your lunch dear!" said Mrs.Proudfoot with her usual fondness for him and he wagged his tail affectionately in return.
      Roland was licking the last piece of meat in his plate when the doorbell burst into music.Mrs.Proudfoot hurried to answer the door.Roland stood alert by her side.
      "Good noon Mrs.Proudfoot." It was Sam，her teenage neighbor."My!My!You look pale!What happened？" asked Mrs.Proudfoot with genuine worry.She immediately waved him in and closed the door behind.Mrs.Proudfoot was a lonely widow，but was well loved in her neighborhood especially by kids，though she had no kids to call her own.
      Once encouraged，Sam disclosed his dilemma."My friend Barry lost a rare book of school library.It costs 150 dollars，but he has only 55 dollars and his poor parents can't afford to pay the rest.Barry is working part time but that's far from enough." With a dramatic sigh he continued，"If he didn't refund the loss before the end of term，he will be dismissed from final exams.That will ruin his future!I have to help him，whatever it takes.He is my best friend."
      "Don't worry，Sammy.You want me to pay…" but Mrs.Proudfoot was interrupted."No，No，Mrs.Proudfoot.This is not what I came here for.I'll work for you.Would you favor me to walk your dog please？For 2 dollars a day." He looked up with begging eyes.
      Mrs.Proudfoot clapped her hands in agreement，"That can't be better!I've been worried about Roland lately.He does need some exercise!It's nice of you to make such an offer."
      Sam thanked her over and over，"I will start tomorrow morning."
