Little Tommy was doing very badly in math. His parents had tried everything—tutors (家庭教師), cards, special learning centers—in short, everything they could think of. Finally they took Tommy to a catholic (天主教的) school.

After the first day, little Tommy came home with a very serious look on his face. H-e didn’t kiss his mother hello. Instead, he went straight to his room and started studying. Books and papers were spread (鋪開) out all over the room and little Tommy was hard at work. His mother was surprised. She called him down to dinner and as soon as he finished eating, he went back to his room, without a word. In no time he was back hitting t-he books as hard as before. This went on for some time, day after day while the mother tried to understand what was happening.

Finally, little Tommy brought home his report card. He quietly put it on the table and w-ent up to his room and hit the books. His mom looked at it and to her surprise, little T-ommy got an A in math. She could no longer hold her curiosity (好奇心). She went to his room and asked, “Son, what was it? Was it the nuns (修女)?”

Little Tommy looked at her and shook his head, “No. ”

“Well then,” she asked again. “WHAT was it?”

Little Tommy looked at her and said, “Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that man nailed (釘) to the plus sign (加號), I knew they weren’t joking. ”

1.Why did Tommy’s parents send him to a catholic school?

A. Because he could eat well there.

Advertising gives useful information about which products to buy. But modern advertising does more than gives news about products and services. Today's advertisements, or ads, try to get consumers(消費者) to buy certain brands(品牌) .Writers of advertising are so skillful that they can sometimes persuade(說服) a consumer to wear a certain kind of clothing, eat a special kind of cereal(麥片), or see a movie . Consumers might never even want a product if they did not see or hear advertisements for it.

For example, you probably do not need the newest cereal in the supermarket. There are probably many cereal brands on your kitchen shelves. You may not have space on your shelf for another. But if you see ads about a new cereal that is your extra -tasty and has a free prize in the box, you may want it. Advertising must get attention. To be effective(有效), it must be exciting, entertaining, or provide some pleasure. The secret of writing good advertising copy is to offer a good idea as well as a product. The idea is what the ad is really selling. One example is an ad that says eating a certain cereal will make a person do well in sports. That cereal brand may sell better if consumers think it offers strength and energy.

1.What is discussed in this passage?

A. The content（內(nèi)容） of modern advertising.

B. The skills of modern advertising.

C. The results of modern advertising.

D. The writing of modern advertising.

2. From the passage, we can infer that _________

A. modern advertising has less influence on customers

B. once customers see ads about a new cereal, they are sure to buy it

C. cereal can make people strong

D. cereal is a kind of food which is popular among people

3.What can we infer from the passage?

A. Customers can easily be persuaded by advertisements.

B. Customers should be persuaded by advertisements.

C. It's impossible for customers to buy a product without advertisements.

D. Customers buy products according to their demands rather than the advertisements.

Martin Lynch， an American businessman， had been going on vacation to a small Mexican fishing village for a number of years. One morning while going for a walk along the beach， he saw his friend Pablo Perez， a local fisherman. Martin watched Pablo unload the fish from his boat and pack it in a box.

Martin noticed Pablo was smiling and looked very happy. He could also see several large fish in the boat. Martin greeted Pablo and asked how long it took to catch the fish. “Just a few hours，” replied Pablo. Martin asked， “Why didn’t you stay longer and catch more fish?” “I have enough for my family，” Pablo said. “And what do you do with the rest of your day?” asked Martin. “I take a nap， play with my children， spend time with my wife， and go into the village to see my friends and play cards， I have a full and busy life.” Martin explained that if Pablo worked longer hours and caught more fish， he could make more money. With the extra money， Pablo could buy more boats and catch money more fish. By selling the fish， Pablo could open his own factory and sell direct to supermarkets.

Imagine a classroom missing the one thing that has long been considered a necessary part to reading and writing? No paper，no books，no test paper．Nor are there any pencils or pens which always seem to run out of ink at the important moment．

A "paperless classroom" is what more and more schools are trying to achieve．Students don't do any handwriting in this class． Instead，they use hand-sized or specially-designed computers．The teacher downloads information from Internet libraries and sends them to every student's personal computer．

Having computers also means that students can use the Web．They can look up information on any subject they're studying from math to social science．High school teacher Judy Herrell in Florida，US，described how her class used the Web to learn about what's going on in the world．

"We could touch every side of the country through different sites from the forest to refugee（難民） camps，" she said．"Using a book that's three or four years old is impossible " And exams can go online too．At a high school in Tennessee，US，students take tests on their own computers．The teacher records the grades on the network for everyone to see and then copies them to his own grade book on the Internet．

A paperless classroom is a big step towards reducing the waste of paper．High school teacher Stephanie Sorrell in Kentucky，US，said she used to give about900 pieces of paper each week to each student．

"Think about the money and trees we could save with the computers，" she said．But，with all this technology，there's always the risk that the machines will break down．So，paper books are still widely available for these hi-tech students．

1.In a paperless classroom，what is a must?

A．Pens． B．Computers．

C．Information． D．Books．

2.The high school teacher，Judy Herrell，used the example of her class to show that ____．

A．the Web could take them everywhere

B．the Web taught them a lot

C．the Web can help students have online exams

D．the Web can help students get the latest news

3.Which of the following is NOT the writer's opinion?

A．The paperless classroom will be good for trees．

B．There are some differences between the paperless studies and those in the usually way．

C．Paper books are no longer useful．

D．Paper-free studies are popular with more and more schools．
