The Inventor of LED
When Nick Holonyak set out to create a new kind of visible lighting using 百度竞价推广iconductor（半导体）alloyshas given the award to prominent inventors.
“Anytime you get an award，big or little,its always a surprise,” Holonyak said.
Holonyak,75 ,was a student of John Bardeen,an inventor of the transistor（晶体管）,in the early 1950s. After graduate school, Holonyak worked at Bell Labs. He later went to General Electric, where he invented a switch now widely used in house dimmer switches. Later, Holonyak started loo king into how 百度竞价推广iconductors could be used to generate light. But while his colleagues were looking into how to generate invisible light, he wanted to generate visible light. The LEDs he invented in 1962 now last about 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs,and are more environmentally friendly and cosplayt effective.
Holonyak，now a professor of electrical and computer engineering and physics at the University of Illinois，said he suspected that LEDs would become as commonplaceweathering before they can be fossilized. Ichthyosaurs had a higher chance of being preserved than did terrestrial creatures be cause, as marine animals,they tended to live in environments less subject to erosion. Still,their fossilization required a suite of factors：a slow rate of decay of soft tissues, little scavenging by other animals,a lack of swift currents and waves to jumble and carry away small bones, and fairly rapid burial. Given these factors,some areas have become a treasury of well-preserved ichthyosaur fossils.
The deposits at Holzmaden, Germany, present an interesting case for analysis. The ichthyosaur remains are found in black，bituminous marine shales（页岩）deposited about 190 million years ago. Over the years, thousands of specimens of marine reptiles, fish and invertebrates have been recovered from these rocks. The quality of preservation is outstanding,but what is even more impressive is the number of ichthyosaur fossils containing preserved embryos.
Ichthyosaurs with embryos have been reported from 6 different levels of the shale in a small area around Holzmaden, suggesting that a specific site was used by large numbers of ichthyosaurs repeatedly over time. The embryos are quite advanced in their physical development; their paddles,for example,are already well formed. One specimen is even preserved in the birth canal. In addition, the shale contains the remains of many newborns that are between 20 and 30 inches long.
Why are there so many pregnant females and young at Holzmaden when they are so rare else where? The quality of preservation is almost unmatched and quarry operations have been carried out carefully with an awareness of the value of the fossils. But these factors do not account for the inter esting question of how there came to be such a concentration of pregnant ichthyosaurs in a particular place very close to their time of giving birth.
11.All of the following are mentioned as factors that encourage fossilization except the.
A.speed of burying
B.conditions of the water
C.rate at which soft tissues decay
D.cause of death of the animal
12.Which of the following is true of the fossil deposits discussed in the passage?
A.They include examples of newly discovered species.
B.They contain large numbers of well-preserved specimens.
C.They are older than fossils found in other places.
D.They have been analyzed more carefully than other fossils.
13.The word “outstanding” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to.
A.“extensive”
B.“surprising”
C.“vertical”
D.“excellent”
14.Why does the author mention the specimen preserved in the birth canal?
A.To illustrate that the embryo fossils are quite advanced in their development.
B.To explain why the fossils are well preserved.
C.To indicate how the ichthyosaurs died.
D.To prove that ichthyosaurs are marine animals.
15.Which of the following best expresses the relationship between the first and second paragraphs?
A. The first paragraph describes a place while the second paragraph describes a field of study.
B.The first paragraph defines the terms that are used in the second paragraph.
C.The second paragraph describes a specific instance of the general TOPic discussed in the first paragraph.
D.The second paragraph presents information that contrasts with the information given in the first paragraph.

The Making of a Success Story
IKEA is the worlds largest furniture retailer,and the man behind it is Ingvar Kamprad, one of the worlds most successful entrepreneurs. Born in Sweden in 1926, Kamprad was a natural business man. As a child,he enjoyed selling things and made small profits from selling matches,seeds and pencils in his community. When Kamprad was 17,his father gave him some money as a reward for his good grades. Naturally he used it to start up a business IKEA.
IKEAs name comes form Kamprads initials and the place where he grew up . Today IKEA is known for its modern,minimalist furniture,but it was not a furniture company in the beginning. Rather, IKEA sold all kinds of miscellaneous goods. Kamprads wares included anything that he could sell for profits at low prices, including watches, pens and stockings.
IKEA first began to sell furniture through a mail-order catalogue in 1947. The furniture was all designed and made by manufactures near Kamprads home.
