     A 17-year-old boy, caught sending text messages in class, was recently sent to the vice principal's office
at Millwood High School in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The vice principal, Steve Gallagher, told the boy he needed
to focus on the teacher, not his cell phone. The boy listened politely and nodded, and that's when Mr. Gallagher
noticed the student's fingers moving on his lap. He was texting while being scolded for texting."It was a
subconscious act," says Mr. Gallagher, who took the phone away."Young people today are connected socially
from the moment they open their eyes in the morning until they close their eyes at night. It's compulsive."
     A study this year by psychology students at Covenant College in Lookout Mountain, found that the more
time young people spend on Facebook, the more likely they are to have lower grades and weaker study habits.
Heavy Facebook users show signs of being more socialable, but they are also more likely to be anxious, hostile
or depressed. (Doctors, meanwhile, are now blaming addictions to 'night texting' for disturbing the sleep
patterns of teens.)
     Almost a quarter of today's teens check Facebook more than 10 times a day, according to a 2009 survey
by Common Sense Media, a nonprofit.group that monitors media's impact on families. Will these young people
get rid of this habit once they enter the work force, or will employers come to see texting and social-network
checking' as accepted parts of the workday?
     Think back. When today's older workers were in their 20s, they might have taken a break on the job to call
friends and make after-work plans. In those earlier eras, companies discouraged non-business-related calls, and
someone who made personal calls all day risked being fired. It was impossible to imagine the constant back-and-
forth texting that defines interactions among young people today.
     Educators are also being asked by parents, students and educational strategists to reconsider their rules. "In
past generations, students got in trouble for passing notes in class. Now students are adept at texting with their
phones still in their pockets," says 40-year-old Mr. Gallagher, the vice principal, "and they're able to
communicate with someone one floor down and three rows over. Students are just fun-damentally different
today. They will take suspensions rather than give up their phones."

1. The underlined word "a subconscious act" refers to an act _____.

A. on purpose
B. without realization
C. in secret
D. with care

2. Young people addicted to the use of Facebook _____.

A. are good at dealing with the social relationships and concentrate on their study
B. have high spirits and positive attitudes towards their life and work
C. have been influenced mentally in the aspects of behaviors and habits
D. are always in bad mood and have poor performance in every respect

3. Through the situation of today's older workers in their 20s, it can be inferred that _____.

A. the employers will not accept young people's sending text messages
B. a cell phone is a must for today's older workers instead of young people
C. the employers prefer older workers to young people
D. the employers will find it hard to control the interaction among young people

4. Mr. Gallagher reminds us that the students in the past and those today _____.

A. like to break rules and have the same means of sending messages
B. are always the big problem for the educators and their parents
C. like sending text messages but those today do it in a more secret and skillful way
D. cannot live without a cell phone

5. What's the best title of the passage?

A. Teenagers and Cell Phones
B. Teenagers' Texting Addiction
C. Employers and Teenagers
D. Teenagers' Education

     A 10-year-old boy fatally shot his father Friday, striking him several times as he sat in the front seat of a
SUV to pick up the boy from his mother's home for a weekend visit.
     The incident happened about 3:45 p.m. on a cul-de-sac (死胡同) in the 1700 block of Cedar Cove Court,
said Sgt. B. E. Williams of the Harris County Sheriff's Department.
     An investigation found that Rick James Lohstroh, 41, was shot by his son, who was sitting in the back
seat of the man's Toyota 4-Runner, said Sgt. B. E. Williams of the Harris County Sheriff's Department. The
shooting took place outside the home of Lohstroh's ex-wife, where the boy lives with his mother and a

Medical Branch. The man and woman shared custody (监护) of the children. Williams said the mother and the
boy were still in the home talking to investigators Friday night.

     A nine-year-old kid was sitting at his desk when suddenly there was a puddle (/JC^C)between his feet
and the front of his trousers was wet. He thought his heart was going to stop because he couldn't possibly
imagine how this had happened. It had never happened before, and he knew that when the boys found out
he would never hear the end of it. When the girls found out, they would never speak to him again as long as
he lived.
     He prayed this prayer, "Dear God, I need help now! Five minutes from now I'm dead meat!" He looked

pretended to be angry, but all the while was saying to himself, "Thank you. Lord!"
     Now all of a sudden, instead of being the object of ridicule, the boy was the object of sympathy. The
teacher rushed him downstairs and gave him gym shorts to put on while his trousers dried out. All the other
children were on their hands and knees cleaning up around his desk. The sympathy was wonderful. But as
life would have it, the ridicule that should have been his had been transferred (转移) to someone else+-Susie.

     A 33-year-old financial analyst in California recently quit his job to devote himself to an unpaid
job teaching math on the Internet, and his lessons are reaching almost 100,000 people a month.
Salman Khan’s voice is heard every day on the net-by tens of thousands of students around the
world who are hungry for help learning math. He has posted 1,200 lessons on YouTube-lessons
that appear on an electronic blackboard, which range from basic addition to advanced mathematics
for science and finance. And they are free.
     Khan lives in Silicon Valley, with his wife, a doctor, and their new baby. He got the idea for his
“Khan Academy” four years ago, when he taught a young cousin how to convert kilograms to grams.
With Khan’s help, the cousin got good at math, and Khan began a new career.
     Now, Khan records his lessons himself, but he never goes on camera. “It feels like my voice in
their head. You’re looking at it and it feels like someone’s over your shoulder talking in your ear, as
opposed to someone at the blackboard, which is distant from you,” he said.
     When Springfield High School in Palo Alto, California invited Khan to speak in person-he
immediately connected to the students there.
     The idea of short lessons that can be played over and over again attracted high school senior
Bridget Meaney. She says she had trouble with math in the seventh grade. “I think the teachers are
good, but they can’t teach at a speed that’s perfect for everyone,” she said. “I like the idea of learning
something in class but then going back and pressing pause or rewind and actually getting a deeper
understanding of it.”
     Originally, Khan kept his lessons short because of YouTube restrictions. Now, he thinks short
is better. “Education researchers now tell me that 10 minutes is how long someone can have a high
level of concentration. And anything beyond that and your brain switches off,” he said.
     For Khan, teaching math, science, and finance is just the beginning. He says he’s ready to expand
his YouTube site to include other subjects as well.

1. What gave Khan the idea of teaching math online?

A. His success in helping his cousin learn math.
B. His discovery that many students found learning math difficult.
C. A suggestion made to him at a local high school.
D. His interest in Internet teaching.

2. Why does Khan never go on camera?

A. He’s too shy to show his face on camera.
B. It’s restricted by YouTube for education videos.
C. He wants to keep distance from the viewers.
D. He wants to create a more relaxed learning atmosphere.

3. From the passage, we know that ________.

A. Khan travels to many schools to promote his lessons
B. Khan plans to include more subjects in the future
C. Khan gives live math lessons every day for free
D. Khan set up the Khan Academy with his wife

4. Why does Bridget Meaney like Khan’s lessons?

A. Khan teaches seventh grade math better than her teacher.
B. The lessons can be watched repeatedly until fully understood.
C. She can perfectly follow the pace of Khan’s teaching.
D. She cannot concentrate when learning in class.

5. What does Khan mean by “short is better” in the 6th paragraph?

A. Keeping the lessons short can ensure better concentration.
B. YouTube recommends short lessons for its site.
C. Short lessons encourage students to return to the website.
D. Students enjoy short mathematics lessons more.

     A four-year-old boy has become pen pals with Britain's Queen Elizabeth. Tom Stancombe started exchanging
letters with the queen after he set free a balloon, carrying his name and address, at a school party and it landed
in the grounds of Windsor Castle.
     The queen spotted the balloon and asked her personal assistant, Angela Kelly, to write a letter on her behalf.
     She wrote, "The queen was delighted to find that your balloon had traveled all the way to the gardens at
Windsor Castle."
     Tom, who proudly put the letter on his wall, wrote back to say that his great, great grandfather, the artist
Petrus Johannes Arundzen, had been commissioned (正式委托) to copy Dutch masters' on display at Windsor
Castle and Buckingham Palace.
     Angela at once replied that she would contact the Royal Collection to find out what had happened to the art
works. She kept her word and two weeks later wrote to Tom to tell him what had happened to the etchings,
explaining they now form part of the print collection in the Print Library.
     Angela then asked a favor of Tom, writing, "Would you be able to ask your Mummy and Daddy for me if
they know anything more about your great, great grandfather. Royal Collection would love to know more about
him."
     Along with his parents, Tom wrote back to fill in all the gaps about Petrus Johannes Arundzen.
     Although Tom's parents don't think there will be any more letters exchanged between the pair, they were
touched that she had taken time to contact them.
     Tom's father said, "I don't expect we'll get another one, but I think it's incredible they bothered replying at
all."

　　Every year all sorts of different festivals are celebrated in Britain．Two of the most well- known British festivals are Bonfire Night and Halloween．

　　Today, people in Britain celebrate Guy Fawkes’ capture by lighting fires and holding fireworks displays．

　　Halloween is celebrated in Britain on the night of October 31^st．There are many customs associated with Halloween．One of these is the game of ‘trick or treat’．Children, dressed up as witches, ghosts or monsters, knock on their neighbours’ doors, and shout ‘trick or treat!’ If they are lucky, they receive a ‘treat’–a bar of chocolate, or some sweets or some money．If, however, their neighbours refuse to give them anything, they play a trick on them．They might spray their front door with shaving foam(剃须膏), or knock on their doors and then run away!

　　Another game played at Halloween is ‘bobbing for apples’．In this game, a bowl is filled with water, and apples are placed in it．Children then have to take a bite from one of the apples without using their hands．This game is difficult and messy(杂乱的), but great fun!

　　Each year, 1,400 high-school students from more than 40 countries are invited to compete in the prestigious Intel International Science and Engineering Fair(Intel ISEF), the world’s largest precollege science contest．The select group of young scientists is chosen from the several million students who compete in local and regional science fairs throughout the year．Participants compete for ＄3 million in scholarships and prizes, presenting projects in 15 categories like medicine, biochemistry, computer science and zoology．Earning top honors isn’t the only goal for contestants．Nineteen percent(or 274)of the finalists at the 2005 competition held last month have already begun the process to patent their projects．

　　Ammem Abdulrasool, a senior at the Illinois Junior Academy of Science, won top honors at this year’s Intel ISEF for his project, “Prototype for Autonomy：Pathway for the Blind．” He walked away with ＄70,000 in prize money and a free trip to October’s Nobel Prize ceremony．Abdulrasool developed technology that allows visually impaired individuals to navigate themselves from one location to another by using the Global Positioning System．Individuals wear a half-kilo Walkman-size device, a bracelet on each arm and a pair of earphones．After entering a starting and ending location into a personal digital assistant(PDA), they are guided with verbal commands that tell them when and in what direction to turn．Simultaneously, a bracelet vibrates signaling the correct direction．To test his device, Abdulrasool recruited 36 blind adults and asked them to visit five landmarks in his neighborhood．The navigational tool saved people an average of 26 minutes in travel time and reduced the number of errors(wrong turns and missed locations)．“Looking at how hard it was for them to travel and how they were dependent on everyone else motivated me to do something,” he said．Abdulrasool hopes are applying for a patent and then plan to market the product commercially．

　　In the fair’s 56-year history, a number of projects have been implemented for commercial use．Michael Nyberg, a 2001 competitor, hoped to reduce the number of West Nile virus infections through acoustics．With a bucket of mosquito larvae and a sound generator, Nyberg discovered that a 24 kHz frequency resonated with the natural frequency of mosquitoes’ internal organs：larvae that absorbed the acoustic energy would explode．His sound-emitting device, Larvasonic, is now sold online(www．larvasonic．com)．Tiffany Clark, a 1999 competitor, found evidence that bacteria produced the methane gas found inside coal seams in Wyoming’s Powder River Basin．This suggested that injecting nutrients into coal seams might provide an unlimited supply of natural gas．A Denver-based technology firm is now continuing Clark’s high-school research．And someday soon, blind people around the world may be wearing bracelets that issue GPS commands．

(1)

How are young people selected to participate in Intel ISEF?
[　　]
A．	They are pre-university students．
B．	They must win science competitions in their home countries．
C．	They must patent or be about to patent an invention．
D．	They are chosen from young people who take part in science competitions．

(2)

Which of these is NOT mentioned as an advantage of Abdulrasool’s device?
[　　]
A．	It enables blind people to get from A to B faster．
B．	It helps them avoid obstacles．
C．	It gives information to blind people in more than one way．
D．	It is extremely light．

(3)

How are Abdulrasool’s invention and those of Michael Nyberg and Tiffany Clark similar?
[　　]
A．	Their inventions all have organic components．
B．	They all won the Intel ISEF competition, though in different years．
C．	They all have, or could have, profitable applications．
D．	None of them have patents yet．

(4)

How does Tiffany Clark’s idea work?
[　　]
A．	She feeds underground bacteria and they produce natural gas．
B．	Bacteria eat coal and produce natural gas．
C．	Bacteria are injected with coal molecules and produce natural gas．
D．	Bacteria extract natural gas from coal and are then harvested．

(5)

Which of the following statements about the Intel ISEF competition is true?
[　　]
A．	It began in the 1960’s．
B．	The biggest prize this year was ＄3 million．
C．	There are 15 prizes in a variety of categories．
D．	Many participants have patented ideas and inventions．

     Normally a student must attend a number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he
attends gives him a grade which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total
work for a degree is made up of thirty-six courses each lasting for one term. Generally, a course is made
up of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend
four or five courses during each term. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two
terms each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also
possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not done as a regular practice.
     For every course that follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the student can get it to show his future employers. All this sets a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this some
students still find time for great activities in student affairs. They show much interest in elections to positions in student organizations performed by students who advise the academic authorities (权威人士). Any
student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating is to appear before a student
court. With the large numbers of students, the operation of the system has something to do with a certain
amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career (生涯).

1. Normally a student would at least attend ______ classes each week.

A. 36.
B. 12
C. 20
D. 15

2. According to the first paragraph an American student is allowed ______.

A. to live in a different university
B. to take a particular course in a different university
C. to live at home and drive to classes
D. to get degrees from two different universities

3. Some students are interested in positions in student organizations probably because ______.

A. they hate the constant pressure and strain of their study
B. they will then be able to stay longer in the university
C. such positions help them get better jobs
D. such positions are usually well paid
