    There are quite a few advantages of wearing school uniforms. The idea may seem disagreeable at first, but considering all the positive effects coming from wearing uniforms you would be more likely to enjoy them.
    Teachers love school uniforms because it helps provide an orderly learning environment. Having students dressed in uniforms may teach them how to present themselves in a neat and professional manner. It gives students the opportunity to learn how to dress like young ladies and gentleman. And they can focus their attention on academics rather than style.
    Purchasing (购买) school uniforms is easy and needs less hesitation and consideration.

Parents could also enjoy an easy morning, as it will take less time to choose a set of clothes for the school day.

Some students may not like the lack of individuality(个性) with a uniform, but some school dress code policies may offer them the opportunities to show their unique styles.

    The United States is not part of the Kyoto Protocol.But since 2005 more than 1,000 mayors across the country have agreed to sign their own version of the protocol.
    It is called the United States Conference of Mayors' Climate Protection Agreement.Local leaders have agreed to follow the suggestions of the Kyoto Protocol in their communities.They have also agreed to urge state and federal governments to follow these suggestions.One goal is to reduce air pollution to the 1990 levels by 2012.
    A “green” city might work on several kinds of environmental goals and programs.These include air quality，reducing electricity use, green building, public health, the reuse of materials, water quality and clean transportation.
    The Natural Resources Defense Council works to protect the environment through action, law and science.One of its online projects is called Smarter Cities, which lists some cities that have made important environmental steps.

    EDGEWOOD—Every morning at Dixie Heights High school, customers pour into a special experiment :the district’s first coffee shop run mostly by students with special learning needs.
    Well before classes start, students and teachers order Lattes, Cappuccinos and Hot Chocolates. Then, during the first period, teachers call in orders on their room phones, and students make deliveries.
    By closing time at 9.20 a.m. , the shop usually sells 90drinks.
    “whoever made the chi tea, Ms. Schwartzman says it was good, ”Christy McKinley , a second year student , announced recently, after hanging up with the teacher.

    These days it’s cheaper to throw that broken DVD player, cell-phone or TV out and buy a new one. This “ replace-rather-than-repair” mentality is polluting the planet with electronic waste. According to the UN Environment Program, we are throwing away an estimated 50 million metric tonnes of electronics waste    (e-waste) per year. But this is not ordinary garbage. Our electronics leak harmful heavy metals — such as mercury and arsenic — along with equally poisonous chemicals that end up in our soil and eventually our water.
    You’ve probably participated in a community recycling event and left feeling good about shipping off that old computer to be recycled. Chances are it was shipped overseas where it’s polluting someone else’community.
    Guiyu city in Southeastern China has become known as the e-waste city where low-paid workers use whatever means available to remove electronics in hopes of recovering the copper, microchips, aluminum, gold and silver and plastic that can be resold. Any leftover waste is simply thrown into the nearby river or piled up high in the streets, poisoning the children growing up here.
    So what can you do with your e-waste? Robert Houghton, President and founder of Redemtech, an asset management and recovery firm, recommends you vote with your dollar. Buy from companies who have a take-back program that guarantees your discarde electronics are handled proper.
    “ Consumers want to do business with companies who are demonstrably    good with corporate responsibility and dealing with e-waste, ” said Houghton.
    There are   plenty of charitable   organizations that will    take your  used electronics and donate them for charitable causes:
    ? Electronic Recycling  Association (Canada) (ERA) collects old    computers for donation to libraries and other organizations across Canada.
    ? eBay’s Rethink Initiative pairs up consumers with businesses that refurbish (再磨光)old computers for donation.
    ? TechSoup has a thorough   listing of resources for those who would  like   to donate or recycle hardware，buy recycled hardware or find a refurbisher.
    ? The Charitable    Recycling Program  accepts all cell-phones    and    has a listing of charities it helps with its program.
    ? Call2 Recycle has set up drop off points across Canada in a number of stores. You can drop off your cell-phone and also your rechargeable batteries from handheld electronic products.
    小题1:When there is something wrong with electronics, what is a popular trend among people nowadays?
    A．To keep a DIY way.B．To put them away themselves.
    C．To purchase what they like.D．To donate them to charities.
    小题2:Guiyu city in Southeastern China is mentioned here to show us ____.
    A．there is an ideal place in the world for e-waste
    B．there is a good example in the world for recycling
    C．the recycling events in Canada benefit people overseas
    D．people should find a scientific and thorough way to recycle
    小题3:In the     writer’s opinion, who can first shoulder the   great responsibility to guarantee e-waste is handled proper in the future?
    A．The UN Environment Program.
    B．Consumers who buy electronics.
    C．President and founder of Redemtech.
    D．Guiyu city in Southeastern China.
    小题4:In Canada, which charity organization will    most possibly take all  your unwanted electronics?
    A．Call2 Recycle.B．TechSoup.

    Teachers say the digital age has had a good influence - and a not-so-good influence - on this generation of American teenagers．More than 2,000 teachers took an online survey．Three-quarters of the teachers said the Internet and digital search tools have had a "mostly positive" effect on their students' research habits and skills．But 64 percent said the technologies "do more to distract（使 - - - ---分心） students than to help them academically．" And 87 percent agreed that these technologies are creating an "easily distracted generation with short attention spans．"
    The Pew Internet Project did the survey with the National Writing Project．Judy Buchanan is the vice director of the National Writing Project and a co-author of the report．Ms．Buchanan says digital research tools are helping students learn more and faster．"Teachers really favor these tools because they are ways to make some of the learning exciting and engaging．Young people favor these tools．The goal is to really help them become creators of meaningful content, and not just sort of consumers．"
    But one problem the survey found is that many students lack digital literacy．They trust too muck of the information they find on the Internet．Judy says these students haven't developed the skills to determine the quality of online information．"It's something that really has to be taught and paid attention to．Because in a world in which things happen quickly, you do need to step back, reflect and analyze the information you have．"
    Another problem is blamed on something that might not seem like a problem at all: being able to quickly find information online．Teachers say the result is a reduction in the desire and ability of their students to work hard to find answers．They say students are overly dependent on search engines and do not make enough use of printed books or research libraries．
    Many teachers are also concerned that the Internet makes it easy for students to copy work done by others instead of using their own abilities．
    小题1:The text mainly tells us____．
    A．all the students use digital tools
    B．the Internet is playing a key role
    C．teachers encourage using digital tools
    D．digital tools bring about benefits and problems

    Researchers conducting a study of hospital stays for over two hundred and eighty six thousand older folks found something interesting in their data.
    The number of hospitalizations for heart disease and stroke went down significantly among a certain group of people at a certain time of year. What folks, and what time of year, you ask? Flu season and the lucky people were the ones who got flu shots(流感疫苗).
    It’s generally recommended that people over fifty get their flu shots every year. Influenza(流行性感冒) is no small thing. it’s responsible for around thirty six thousand deaths a year in the U. S. alone. Getting the shots also cuts down on the chances of get­ting pneumonia(肺炎), which is especially dangerous in seniors.
    But what wasn’t known was that there seems to be an added benefit to getting a flu shots in terms of warding off heart problems. The data,in fact, are quite strong in suggesting this is the case.
    In this study, flu shots cut clown the number of hospitalizations for heart disease by nineteen percent. Stroke went down sixteen percent one season and a whopping twenty-three percent a second season.These are big results.
    So what's the connection between getting a flu shot and having a stronger heart? It isn’t yet known.
    Researchers speculate that the flu virus itself may do damage to blood vessels(血管), possibly making clots(血块)more likely. Blood clots in the heart can cause heart attacks, and blood clots in the brain can cause strokes.
    Whatever the specific details are, there's one more good reason to follow your doctor’ s advice and get that annual flu shot.
    小题1:According to the study, the number of hospitalizations for heart disease and stroke went down significanntly among the ones who _____.
    A．got flu shots after they were ill

    A．it can cut down on the chances of getting pneumonia
    B．it can cut down the number of hospitalizations for heart disease
    C．it can kill the flu virus
    D．if can make blood clots

    Air pollution is one of the hottest topics at present because poor air quality is an important factor in both the incidence and cause of respiratory(呼吸道) diseases.
    Zhong Nanshan, a deputy to the NPC and a member of the CAE, said recently when the concentration of PM2.5 rises by 10 micrograms per cubic meter, hospitalization may rise by as much as 3.1 percent. Meanwhile, when the concentration of PM2.5 rises from 25 mgs per cubic meter to 200, the average daily death rate may rise to 11 percent.
    Zhi Xiuyi, a leading expert in lung cancer treatment and also vice-president of the CATS, said medical authorities used to focus on tobacco control as a primary means of preventing lung cancer. "But in fact, air pollution is no less harmful than smoking and our research team released a report earlier this year showing that the cancer rate in Beijing is closely related to industrialization," he said.
    The report, conducted by the Beijing Institute of Cancer Research, shows that the number of cancer patients in China has increased markedly during the past ten years. Chaoyang District, the city's main area of industrialization, has the highest incidence of cancer, almost double that of Yanqing, an area on the outskirts of the city. About four out of 1000 Chaoyang residents have some form of the disease, with lung cancer at the top of the list.
    "The risk of having cancer largely depends on the length of exposure and the concentration of noxious gases(有毒气体的浓度)," said Zhi. In response to the doubt whether seven years' exposure to poor air quality will almost result in cancer, Zhi said the time scale was taken from research overseas that suggested the rate of incidence generally peaked in the seventh year of exposure to a heavily polluted environment.
    小题1: What is the passage mainly about?
    A．Medical researches on environment.
    B．The disadvantages in big cities.
    C．The only reason for the lung cancer.
    D．Poor air quality contributing to lung cancer.
    小题2:What can you conclude from the 3rd paragraph?
    A．Compared with smoking, air pollution is more harmful.
    B．Air pollution is as harmful as smoking.
    C．It is very important to prevent people from smoking.
    D．People realize the importance of keeping healthy.
    小题3:If there were 3,000,000 people in Chaoyang District, how many would have respiratory diseases?
    A．16000B．12000C．8000D．7500
    小题4:What can you infer from the passage?
    A．Industrialization has its weakness as well as strengths.
    B．The average death rate rises with different ages and places.
    C．The air in Beijing is much more polluted than that in the other cities.
    D．The more heavily-polluted air you breathe in, the sooner you’ll have cancer.

    Redwood trees are the tallest plants on the earth，reaching heights of up to 100 meters．They are also known for their longevity，typically 500 to 1000 years，but sometimes more than 2000 years．A hundred million years ago，in the age of dinosaurs，redwoods were common in the forests of a much more moist and tropical North America．As the climate became drier and colder，they declined to a narrow strip along the Pacific coast of Northern Califomia．
    The trunk of redwood trees is very strong and usually forms a single straight column．It is covered with a soft bark．This bark can be pretty thick，well over two feet in the more mature trees．It gives the older trees a certain kind of protection from insects，but the main benefit is that it keeps the center of the tree harmless from moderate forest fires because of its thickness．This fire resistant quality explains why the giant redwood grows to live that long．While most other types of trees are destroyed by forest fires，the giant redwood actually prospers because of them．
    Moderate fires will clear the ground of competing plant life，and the rising heat dries and opens the ripe fruit of the redwood，releasing many thousands of seeds onto the ground below．
    New trees are often produced from shoots，little baby trees，which form at the base of the trunk．These shoots grow slowly，fed by the root system of the “mother’’ tree．When the main tree dies，the shoots are then free to grow as full trees，forming a “fairy ring” of trees around the original tree．These trees，in turn，may give rise to more shoots，and the cycle continues．
    小题1:Why were redwood trees easier to find in the forests of North America millions of years ago?
    A．The trees were taller and stronger．
    B．The soil was softer for seeds to develop．
    C．The climate there was warmer and wetter．
    D．The temperature was lower along the Pacific coast．
    小题2:Which of the following is a function of the tree bark as mentioned in the passage?
    A．It allows redwood trees to bear seeds．
    B．It prevents redwood trees from attack by insects．
    C．It helps redwood trees absorb water in the air．
    D．It makes redwood trees more beautiful and appealing．
    小题3:Why do redwood trees grow to live that long according to the passage?
    A．They have heavy and straight tree trunks．
    B．They are properly watered and catered to．
    C．They are more resistant to fire damage than other trees．
    D．They produce many young trees to maintain their life cycle．
    小题4:How does a “fairy ring’’ form according to the passage?
    A．By killing an old tree．B．By connecting root systems．
    C．By inserting holes into old trees．D．By surrounding a mature tree．

    What's going to happen in the future? Will robots take over our planet? Will computers become smarter than us? Not likely. But here are some things that scientists say are most likely to happen 10 to 30 years later from now, according to the BBC.
    1．Digital money
    We used to pay with cash for everything we bought. Now when we swipe(刷) our bus pass or use a credit card to shop online, money is spent without us even seeing it. In fact, we are already using one type of digital money.
    You have to admit that using a card is much easier than searching your pockets for change. It is also safer than carrying a lot of cash.
    When ATM cards were first introduced, they were not accepted everywhere. But now it's hard to live without them. People in Sweden completely stopped using cash last year, according to the Associated Press, and the US might be next.
    2．Bionic(能力超人的)eye
    It's no longer something only in a sci­fi movie. People who are blind may have a chance to get their sight back—by wearing bionic eyes.
    A blind eye can no longer sense light, but a bionic eye can use a camera to “see” the environment and send data directly to the brain.
    Although the bionic eye that's out now only allows patients to see lights and unclear shapes, a high­resolution(高清晰度的) version could be just a few years away.
    3．Self­driving cars
    Everything is going automatic these days—washing machines, ticket selling machines and even cars. Unlike a human driver, a self­driving car won't get distracted by a phone call, the radio or something outside the window. Sensors and cameras on the car would allow it to stick strictly to the rules of the road and keep a safe distance from other cars. This would greatly reduce the number of road accidents. You could even take a nap while the car drives itself.
    Many vehicle companies are now planning self­driving cars. “By 2040, driverless vehicles will be widely accepted and possibly be the dominant vehicles on the road，” said Jeffrey Miller, professor at the University of Alaska Anchorage, US, in Wired magazine.
    小题1:The underlined word “distracted” in the article is closest in meaning to “________”．
    A．directedB．discouraged
    C．attackedD．disturbed
    小题2:Jeffrey Miller's attitude towards self­driving cars is ________.
    A．optimisticB．pessimistic
    C．doubtfulD．cautious
    小题3:Which section is the article most likely to be found in the newspaper?
    A．Learning KitB．Campus Trends
    C．EntertainmentD．Technology
