One day, a train was approaching the small town of Cheekyville. On the train was a 1 man with a big suitcase. He was called William Warbler and he looked very 2 indeed. But what made him most unusual was the fact that whenever he needed to 3 , he did so by singing opera. Even if someone said “good day” to him, he would clear his throat and 4 : “Goood dayyy to youuuuuu..... toooooo!”
Almost everyone considered William unusual, since no one could get a normal 5 word out of him. As no one knew how he made his living — he lived quite 6 , always wearing the same old second-hand suit — they often had no ___7__for him and sometimes even made fun of him.
William had been in Cheekyville for some years, when one day a rumor (謠言) spread that William had received a role in a very important 8 in the nation’s capital, that there had been posters everywhere advertising the event, and that it had been a great 9 . And to everyone’s surprise, when William was being interviewed by reporters, he answered their questions by speaking with good 10 , and with a clear and pleasant voice.
From that day on, William gave up 11 at all hours. Now he sang only during his stage appearances. People wouldn’t have thought him 12 if they had seen what William kept in his big suitcase. It was a large 13 , with a hand-carved message on it.
The message said, “Practice every second, for you never know when your 14 will come.” Little did people realize that he only got the role in the opera because the 15 had heard William singing while out buying a newspaper.

When it comes to protecting the privacy of their children, U.S. parents give social networks a failing grade. According to a recent survey, three out of four parents believe social networks are not doing a good job of protecting kids’ online privacy.
The survey was conducted for Common Sense Media, a nonprofit organization devoted to helping families find the right way to deal with the world of media and technology.
Ninety-two percent of parents said they are concerned that children share too much information online, and 85 percent said they are more concerned about online privacy than they were five years ago. In other findings, Common Sense Media found that 68% of parents are not at all confident in search engines keeping their private information safe and secure and 71% of parents said the same about social networking sites.
The survey found a great deal of concern about the online geo-location services which find and show the exact position of somebody through the net. Ninety-one percent of parents said search engines and social networking sites should not be able to share the physical location of children with other companies unless the parents approve.
“The survey results present a clear divide between the industry’s view of privacy and the opinion of parents and kids,” Common Sense Media CEO and founder James Steyer said.
“American families are deeply worried about how their personal information is being used by technology and online companies, yet the companies appear to be keeping their heads deep in the sand,” Steyer said.
IT companies need to step up but parents, children, schools and government also need to do more, he said.
“Parents and kids have to educate themselves about how to protect their information,” he said. “Schools should teach all students and their parents about privacy protection.”
“And finally, policymakers have to update privacy policies for the 21st century,” he said. According to the survey, more than 60 percent of parents want the US Congress to update online privacy laws for children and teenagers.
1. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 6 mean?
A. Refusing to admit the problem. B. Refusing to work with others.
C. Trying to find a solution to the problem D. Trying to look deep into the problem.
2. According to James Steyer, the following organizations should make more contributions to protecting
children’s online privacy except __________.
A. IT companies B. Government C. Schools D. Nonprofit Organizations
3.What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Parents are worried about social networks because they lead to the children’s failing grades.
B. Most US parents agree that the online geo-location services should be forbidden.
C. Most US parents will support a law that limits IT companies to using personal information.
D. US Congress has not yet passed any online privacy law for children and teenagers.
4. Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?
A. US Congress to Update Privacy Policies for 21st Century
B. Common Sense Media Warns Against Social Networks
C. US Parents Want Better Online Privacy Protection for Kids
D. Worry Grows for Problems Caused by Social Networks

Diana Jacobs thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21-year-old twin sons: a combination of savings, income, scholarships, and a modest amount of borrowing. Then her husband lost his job, and the plan fell apart.
“I have two kids in college, and I want to say ‘come home,’ but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education,” says Jacobs.
The Jacobs family did work out a solution: They asked and received more aid from the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan (貸款) program. They will each graduate with $20,000 of debt, but at least they will be able to finish school.
With unemployment rising, financial aid administrators(管理者) expect to hear more families like the Jacobs. More students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans. College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around.
At the same time, tuition（學費）continues to rise. A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to 2007, while average family income rose just 147%. Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade,
“If we go on this way for another 25years, we won’t have an affordable system of higher education,” says Patrick M. Callan, president of the center. “The middle class families have been financing it through debt. They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.”
Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. The good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.
1.How did the Jacobs manage to solve their problem?
|
A．They asked their kids to come home. |
|
B．They borrowed $20,000 from the school. |
|
C．They encouraged their twin sons to do part-time jobs. |
|
D．They got help from the school and the federal government. |
2. Financial aid administrators believe that ______________.
|
A．more families will face the same problem as the Jacobs |
|
B．the government will receive more letters of complaint |
|
C．college tuition fees will double soon |
|
D．America’s unemployment will fall |
3.What can we learn about the middle class families from the text?
|
A．They blamed the government for the tuition increase. |
|
B．Their income remained steady in the last decade. |
|
C．They will try their best to send kids to college. |
|
D．Their debts will be paid off within 25 years. |
4.According to the last paragraph, the government will ____.
|
A．provide most students will scholarships |
|
B．dismiss some financial aid administrators |
|
C．stop the companies from making student loans |
|
D．go on providing financial support for college students |
