Most middle school students find it boring to learn English. But students in Yat Sen middle school in New York, US, don’t think so. Why? Because they are in the school of One Program, which asks students to work on their own or in small groups on computers to have math lessons.
“The program gives the students a new learning style. No traditional classroom can compare with it. We give each lesson according to the students’ interest and their strong and weak points,” said JoelⅠ. Klein, the school’s head teacher, “we’re looking for a new way that interest students children.”
Students enjoy these math lessons, especially lessons with video games. They must find out the answers to math problems to get through the game. One such game is Dimension M. As students move through mazes(迷宮) with their keyboards, some questions come up.
Caleb Deng had to answer the question: What is 5+ (6×3)? He calculated on paper quickly because there was just a minute left to play.
“ I was right,” said Deng, 14, as he ended the game with a high score (高分). “this really makes math lessons more exciting, since we are fighting to learn better.”

long ago people made fires from lightning(閃電)。 But they had to keep the fire burning, for they couldn’t start it again if there was no lightning. Later, they found out hitting two piece of stone together could make a spark (火花). The spark could fire dry leaves. In this way they could make the fire again if it went out. Then people also learned to make a fire by rubbing. They made a hole on a big piece of wood and put a smaller stick into the hole. They turned the stick again and again. After a few minutes they got a fire.
As years went by, people learned other ways to make a fire. Sometimes they used the heat from sun. they held a piece of glass in the right way and made a piece of paper on fire.
About two centuries ago, people began to make matches (火柴). Matches brought people a quick and easy way to make fire. Today matches are still being used, but people have more new ways to make fires.

Last year in the UK at least 45 people died and 900 more were injured in car accidents where drivers were using their mobile phones．Yet many people continue to use them while driving even though it’s dangerous．
Research has shown that it is difficult to concentrate 0n driving and talking at the same time．It can even be more dangerous than driving after drinking too much．A recent study found that when drivers were talking on their mobile phones，their stopping times were 30 percent slower than when they had drunk too much—and nearly 50 percent slower than when they were driving normally．It also found that drivers talking on mobile phones were less able to control their cars than drunk drivers．
And talking isn’t even the most serious problem, texting is. Unbelievably, another recent study reported that 22％ of adults admitted they had sent a text message while driving at least once in the past month．An average text message takes 90 seconds to write and send．That means for one and a half minutes a driver is looking at their phone’s screen and not at the road．The arrival of new smart phones such as the iPhone will only make matters worse as they will allow users to do more things than ever before．
Using a mobile phone while driving puts others’ lives at risk．No matter how well we drive，if another driver is not being professional or careful，we are put in danger by their actions．Such drivers are selfish，careless and should have their driving licences(駕照)cancelled．
There is no doubt that mobile phones call be fun and are extremely useful，especially when you’re in trouble．But there is no need to use them while driving．Just wait until you stop or you will probably get into trouble of your own．
小題1:The underlined word“'them”in paragraph 1 refers to          .
A．phone usersB．mobile phonesC．driversD．ears
小題2:According to the passage，if a driver needs 10 seconds to stop when driving normally, they will need  seconds to stop when talking on a mobile phone．
A．12．B．13．C．14.D．15．
小題3:According to the passage，in what order do the following activities influence driving?
Dangerous→More dangerous→Most dangerous
A．drinking→talking on phone→texting
B．texting→talking on phone→drinking
C．talking on phone→texting→drinking
D． drinking→texting→talking on phone
小題4:Why will new types of mobile phones make the driving problem worse?
A．It will take longer to send text messages．
B．People will want to talk on their phones more often．
C．There will be more things for people to do with their phones．
D．People think the new phones are easier and safer to use．

Today almost everyone knows computers and the Internet. If I ask you “What is the most important thing in your life?” maybe you will say “Computers and the Internet”.
The first computer was made in 1946. It was very big but it worked slowly.. Today, computers are getting smaller and smaller, but they work faster and faster. What can computers do? A writer has said, “People can't live without computers today.”
The Internet came a little later than computers. It is about 25 years later than computers. But now it can be found almost everywhere. We can use it to read books, send e-mails, do some shopping, play games or make friends.

Many of them can't catch up with others in many subjects because of that.
Now the government has done many things. Some gangster Internet bars(黑網(wǎng)吧)have been banned. But that's not enough. The teachers and parents are still worrying about their students and children.

Last year, a series of school bus accidents happened in China. To stop such accidents, the Central Government decided to strengthen the rules for school buses.
