　　EP Portable Heater

　　We all know that the cost of heating our homes will continue to be a significant burden on the family budget. Now millions of people are saving on their heating bills with the EP portable heater. With over one million satisfied customers around the world, the new EP heats better and faster, saves more on heating bills, and runs almost silent.

　　The EP has no exposed heating parts that can cause a fire. The outside of the EP only gets warm to the touch so that it will not burn children or pets.

　　The EP will not reduce oxygen in the room. With other heaters, you'll notice that you get sleepy when the heat comes on because they are burning up oxygen.

　　The advanced EP also heats the room evenly,_wall to wall and floor to ceiling. It comfortably covers an area up to 350 square feet. Other heaters heat rooms unevenly with most of the heat concentrated to the center of the room. And they only heat an area a few feet around the heater. With the EP, the temperature will not vary in any part of the room.

　　The EP comes with a 3－year warranty(保修) and a 60－day, no questions asked, satisfaction guarantee. If you are not totally satisfied, return it at our expense and your money will be given back to you.

　　【要点综述】 这是一篇广告，主要宣传的是一种新型的取暖器。这种取暖器能降低耗电量，为业主省钱；安全，不伤害儿童及宠物；不消耗房间氧气；供暖均匀，遍及房间任何地方；三年保修，60天包换；十天内半价，免费送货。

　　58．D 　词义猜测题。根据第四段evenly之后的解释“wall to wall and floor to ceiling”可知，墙与墙之间，地板到屋顶是全部的空间，因此加热是均匀的。continuously连续不断地；separately单独地，个别地；quickly迅速地；equally平均地，均等地。

　　59．A 　作者意图题。根据文章前面介绍的内容和最后的“Take action right now！”可知，本文是产品销售的广告，目的是吸引人们购买。

　　Sometimes we make friends with unexpected people. For example, who would have thought that a spider would make friends with a pig? But in E. B. White’s classic novel “Charlotte Web”, this is exactly what happens.

　　The pair will appear in a movie at the end of this year.

　　In the story, Wilbur is an ill-fated (倒霉的) pig. When he is born, he is so small that the farmer decides to end the pig’s life. Fortunately, the farmer’s daughter stops him from killing Wilbur and volunteers to raise the pig in a barnyard.

　　Wilbur grows day by day and makes many friends in the barnyard, including the spider, Charlotte. However, one day a sheep tells Wilbur that he will be served up as dinner. But Charlotte is determined to save her friend from this danger. By making words such as “famous pig” in her web, she persuades the farmer that Wilbur is some sort of supernatural animal, too important to kill. After Wilbur is saved, Charlotte is so tired that she finally dies.

　　Unusually, the author makes a spider the heroine of the book. Spiders are normally creatures many people regard with fear. Charlotte does everything in her power to keep Wilbur alive. It shows how a strong friendship can last through the worst possible times.

　　Everyone who has eaten instant noodles (方便面) before knows how it looks like. It is very easy to cook it instantly by putting the noodles into the boiling water and add in those MSG（味精） packets（小包）, together with your other food like eggs or vegetables. However, have you ever wondered whether this is the correct way of cooking it? When you first took out the noodles from the packaging, you will notice that the noodles are joined together nicely as a piece.

However, researches have shown that the layer (层) of wax coating on the noodles is quite harmful to our body and we should not eat it too frequently. It is advisable to have a break of 2-3 days before we start to eat another packet of instant noodles as our body need about 3 days to clear that layer of wax coating away from our body system. Do you know the danger of having too much wax coating stored in our stomach? It will lead to CANCER if it is stored in our body system for a long period of time.

　　There are 2 key points to take note while preparing instant noodles:　

　　1) Wash the instant noodles with warm water first, stir（搅和） it and pour away the water containing the wax coating.
