15.MOOC (massive open online courses)is a quite new way for people to learn the subject that they are interest in.But you may find yourself unable to use it if the browser of your computer is not the right one,such as Internet Explorer 8 or Windows XP,because support for Internet Explorer 8 and Windows XP has ended.Then you may ask why.Well,IE 8 is 12 years old-that's pretty old for an operating system.
In the past 12 years you've probably gotten a new phone,maybe a new TV,and possibly even a new car.Maybe it's time for a new PC too,so you can make sure you have more memory and storage,faster processing speeds,and a higher-quality display (some even come with touch).And they're less expensive than you might think.
We support our older operating systems much longer than most other businesses in this industry,but we can't keep supporting old operating systems and still move forward creating new and better products.We've been supporting Windows XP for the past 12 years-that's longer than we've supported any other operating system in our history and already two years longer than the standard ten years of support we normally provide.It's time for us to look ahead so we can create better products and services for you and all our customers.
We encourage you to learn more here about what end of support means,but in the end you have two options:
Option 1:Keep using Windows XP-unprotected
Option 2:Start using Windows 8.1
If you don't like the idea of your data and personal information being hacked,consider moving to Windows 8.1.
 
(Answer each question in no more than ten words)

10.A punctual person is in the habit of doing a thing at the proper time and is never late in keeping an appointment.
The unpunctual man,on one hand,never does what he has to do at the proper time.He is always in a hurry and in the end loses both time and his good name.A lost thing may be found again,but lost time can never be regained.Time is more valuable than material things.In fact,time is life itself.The unpunctual man is forever wasting and mismanaging his most valuable asset (財產(chǎn)) as well as others'.The unpunctual person is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters,or return calls or keep appointments promptly.But the man who really has a great deal to do is very careful of his time and seldom complains of want of it.He knows that he can not get through his huge amount of work unless he faithfully keeps every piece of work when it has to be attended to.
Failure to be punctual in keeping one's appointments is the sign of disrespect towards others.If a person is invited to dinner and arrives later than the appointed time,he keeps all the other guests waiting for him.Usually this will be regarded as a great disrespect to the host and all other guests present.
Unpunctuality,moreover,is very harmful when it comes to do one's duty,whether it is public or private.Imagine how it would be if those who are put in charge of important tasks failed to be at their proper place at the appointed time.A man who is known to be habitually unpunctual is never trusted.

56.If one is not punctual,it is the sign that heshows no or little respect for other people..
57.According to the passage,what is the main reason that a person is always unpunctual?The main reason is that he always mismanages and wastes his time.
/Because he always mismanages and wastes his time.
58.When should you show up if invited to dinner?at the appointed time/earlier than the appointed time/on time/no later than the appointed time
59.Based on the passage,when you have something urgent to do and need some help,you should turn to those who arepunctual/punctual people..

7.The word"sport"first meant something that people did in their free time.Later it often meant hunting wild animals and birds.About a hundred years ago the word was first used for organized games.This is the usual meaning of the word today.People spend a lot of their spare time playing football,basketball,tennis and many other sports.Such people play because they want to.A few people are paid for the sport they play.These people are called professional sportsmen.They may be sportsmen for only a few years,but during that time the best ones can earn a lot of money.For example,a professional footballer in England earns more than 30,000dollars a year.The stars earn a lot more.International golf and tennis champions can make more than 500,000dollars a year.Of course,only a few sportsmen can earn as much money as that.
Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money is that the stars can earn more money from advertising than from sports.An advertisement for sports equipment does not simply say"Buy our things".It says"Buy the same shirt and shoes as …".Famous sportsmen can even advertise things like watches and food.They allow the companies to use their names or a photograph of them and they are paid for this.Sport is no longer just something for people's spare time.
41.The word"sport"now usually meansA.
A.organized games
B.hunting wild animals and birds
C.what people do in their spare time
D.something people are paid to do
42.According to the passage,an international golf champion can makeA in a year.
A.more than 500,000dollars
B.more than 30,000dollars
C.500,000dollars
D.30,000dollars
43.What surprises people most is thatB.
A.the word"sport"meant hunting animals
B.the stars get more money from advertising than from sports
C.professional sportsmen are paid for what they do
D.only a few sportsmen can earn $ 500,000a year.

5.There are about 5,000different kinds of ladybugs in the world.They come in many different colors.Their bright colors warn other animals or insects not to eat them.Ladybugs taste bad.A bird or a frog that eats a ladybug will remember the bright colors and it will not eat another ladybug with the same colors again.When ladybugs are in danger,they will give out a fluid(液體)that tastes terrible.
In many cultures,the ladybug is considered to be a symbol of good luck.Most ladybugs are kind to humans.They eat other insects which destroy crops.One ladybug can eat up to 5,000insets in its lifetime.
Ladybugs have six short legs.They live in many different places,including green lands,forests,cities,the countryside and along rivers.Different ladybugs have different spots(點).Some of them don't have spots at all.The most common kind in North America is the 7-spotted ladybug.The 7-spotted ladybugs are the most active from spring to autumn.When the weather turns cold,they look for a warm place to sleep,such as under stones or in houses.
