If your child has mobile internet access, it will be more difficult to monitor(監(jiān)督) and control his or her internet use. Kids are turning to the internet for everything from hanging out with friends to shopping, which makes it harder for parents to keep track of their online activities. Fortunately, there are many choices for controlling what your kids see on their computers, laptops, and mobile devices.
Content blockers and filters are great tools to use for younger kids. They allow you more control over where they go and what they do online. A content blocker can block some unhealthy websites or limit a child’s search to the kind of sites. A content filter can scan sites and pictures and block those sites that contain certain words, key phrases, or content.
Consider tracking software for older teenagers. This software enables you to see which sites your children have visited, tracking their path online. This tool gives young people more freedom to explore the Internet, but it also allows you to check that they are using the internet responsibly. Let your teenagers know that you trust them, but that you will be regularly checking that they are visiting appropriate sites online.
Even if you use content blockers, filters, and trackers, you know that a lot of kids figure out ways to get around these, so it’s important to remain alert(警惕的). Remember that not all adult sites can be identified by blocker, filter, or tracker software. That’s why it’s important to talk to your kids about what to do when something inappropriate or scary comes up. Nothing can replace involvement and supervision(監(jiān)督) by adults. Keep monitoring how your kids use the internet on a regular basis without getting into the role of internet traffic police.

(2013·高考湖南卷，C)It’s such a happy­looking library，painted yellow，decorated with palm­tree stickers and sheltered from the Florida sun by its own roof.About the size of a microwave oven，it’s pedestrian­friendly，too，waiting for book lovers next to a sidewalk in Palm Beach County Estates，along the northern boundary of Palm Beach Gardens.
It’s a library built with love.
A year ago，shortly after Janey Henriksen saw a Brian Williams report about the Little Free Library organization，a Wisconsin­based nonprofit that aims to promote literacy and build a sense of community in a neighborhood by making books freely available，she announced to her family of four，“That’s what we’re going to do for our spring break！”
Son Austin，now a 10th­grader，didn’t see the point of building a library that resembles a mailbox.But Janey insisted，and husband Peter unwillingly got to work.The 51­year­old owner of a ship supply company modified a small wooden house that he’d built years earlier for daughter Abbie’s toy horses，and made a door of glass.
After adding the library’s final touches (裝點(diǎn))，the family hung a signboard on the front，instructing users to“take a book，return a book，”and making the Henriksen library，now one of several hundred like it nationwide and among more than 2,500 in the world，the only Little Free Library in Palm Beach County.
They stocked it with 20 or so books they’d already read，a mix of science fiction，reference titles，novels and kids’ favorites.“I told them，keep in mind that you might not see it again，”said Janey，a stay­at­home mom.
Since then，the collection keeps replenishing (補(bǔ)充) itself，thanks to ongoing donations from borrowers.The library now gets an average of five visits a day.
The project’s best payoff，says Peter，are the thank­you notes left behind.“We had no idea in the beginning that it would be so popular.”
【小題1】In what way is the library “pedestrian­friendly”？

A．It owns a yellow roof.
B．It stands near a sidewalk.
C．It protects book lovers from the sun.
D．It uses palm­tree stickers as decorations.
【小題2】Janey got the idea to build a library from________.
A．a(chǎn) visit to Brian Williams
B．a(chǎn) spring break with her family
C．a(chǎn) book sent by one of her neighbors
D．a(chǎn) report on a Wisconsin­based organization
【小題3】The library was built________.
A．by a ship supply company
B．on the basis of toy horses
C．like a mailbox
D．with glass
【小題4】What can we infer about the signboard?
A．It was made by a user of the library.
B．It marked a final touch to the library.
C．It aimed at making the library last long.
D．It indicated the library was a family property.
【小題5】The passage tells us that the users________.
A．donate books to the library
B．get paid to collect books for the library
C．receive thank­you notes for using the library
D．visit the library over 5 times on average daily

Whether you’re eating at a fancy restaurant or dining in someone’s home. Proper table manners are likely to help you make a good impression. According to a US expert, Emily Post, “All rules of table manners are made to avoid ugliness.”
While Henry Hitchings of the Los Angeles Times admits that good manners can reduce social conflict, he points out that mostly their purpose is protective - they turn our natural warrior-like selves into more elegant ones.
So where did table manners come from?
In medieval England, a writer named Petrus Alfonsi took the lead to urge people not to speak with their mouths full. And King David I of Scotland also proposed that any of his people who learned to eat more neatly be given a tax deduction (減除).
Disappointingly, that idea never caught on. It was during the Renaissance, when there were real technical developments, opinions of correct behavior changed for good. “None of these was more significant than the introduction of the table fork,” wrote Hitchings. “Gradually, as forks became popular, they brought the new way of eating, making it possible, for instance, to consume berries without making one’s fingers dirty.”
Forks were introduced to Britain in 1608 and 25 years later, the first table fork reached America. Yet while most of the essentials (基本要素) are the same on both sides of the Atlantic, there are a few clear differences between what’s normal in the US and what holds true in the UK. For example, in the US, when food needs cutting with a knife, people generally cut a bite, then lay aside the knife and switch the fork to their right hand. Then they pick up one bite at a time. By contrast, Britons keep the fork in the left hand and don’t lay the knife down.
Though globalization has developed a new, simpler international standard of table manners, some people still stick with the American cut-and-switch method.The Los Angeles Times noted, “They are hanging on to a form of behavior that favors manners above efficiency.”
【小題1】What does the story mainly talk about?

A．The importance of proper table manners .
B．The development of table manners in Western countries.
C．Some unwritten rules of table manners in the US and UK.
D．Differences between American and British table manners.
【小題2】The underlined phrase “caught on” in the passage probably means ______.
A．worked in practiceB．became popular
C．drew attentionD．had a positive effect
【小題3】Which of the following events influenced people’s table manners most according to the article?
A．The introduction of forks.
B．The tax deduction policy.
C．The rise of the Renaissance.
D．Petrus Alfonsi’s efforts in promoting table manners.
【小題4】What can we conclude from the article?
A．British and American table manners are completely different from each other.
B．American people pay more attention to their table manners than British people do.
C．With globalization, the American cut-and-switch method has been abandoned in the US.
D．British people’s way of using a knife and fork may be more efficient than American people’s.

Ever wonder how this season’s celebrations affect the environment? Guest blogger Krista Fairles takes an amusing look at this very topic:

The holidays are a wonderful, cheerful time when most people wait for Santa to bring them presents. But I’m not like most people. I spend my time wondering just what the environmental impacts of Santa Claus and his reindeer are, and more importantly, how I can calculate those impacts.
Lately I’ve been particularly curious as to whether Santa’s old sled is a clean green flying machine, or if he should be replacing his 8 reindeer with an environmentally-friendly car.
I should mention that, surprisingly, I was unable to find statistics specific to Santa’s magical flying reindeer, so these calculations use numbers from various sources and may not represent actual pollution caused by Santa and his animals. In other words, don’t complain to the government about the damage Santa is causing the environment based on this article.
Santa’s yearly trip around the globe is 44,000km long, twice the average of a North American driver. If we assume that the magic provides the altitude for this trip, then reindeer power only needs to push Santa’s sled forward. To complete the trip in 12 hours, I estimate they must travel at a speed of about 3100km/h. To travel at this speed, for this length of time, the reindeer need to eat an incredible 980 million calories each!!
So the next question is: how much food is in 980 million calories? Well, if they’re eating corn, they’d need to eat 16,500 lbs each — or 1.6 acres of food. Growing 12.8 acres of corn has its own implications for the environment that we’ll leave for another calculation.
We now need to consider that during the global trip the reindeer are “l(fā)etting out” some of that corn in the form of methane (甲烷，沼氣). A resting cow produces 110 kg of methane per year, so flying reindeer would each let out about 4.8 tons. With methane causing 20 times the global warming damage of CO2, and the altitude increasing that damage by 1000% that another 20 times, we can put Santa’s round-trip emissions at 15,488 tons. This is much more than the 100 tons an environmentally-friendly car would release on the same trip!
Bad Santa.
【小題1】Which aspect does the writer NOT include in her analyses about reindeer’s influence on environment?

A．Distance covered. B．Calories consumed.
C．Tons of waste let out. D．Money spent on food.
【小題2】 According to Paragraph 6, how many acres of corn would Santa need to feed 10 reindeer?
A．1.6. B．16. C．12.8. D．128.
【小題3】Which of the following statements would the writer most probably agree with?
A．Christmas celebrations are really a waste of money.
B．Vegetarians are more likely to survive than meat-eaters.
C．Raising animals has a negative influence on environment.
D．The car industry does less harm to environment than farming.
【小題4】Which of the following words best describes the language style of the passage?
A．Humourous and concerned. B．Cheerful and friendly.
C．Academic and formal. D．Serious and boring.
【小題5】Which of the following is the best title for this passage?
A．Is Santa driving clean and green?
B．Santa, watch where you’re going!
C．Santa Claus is coming to town!
D．Let’s reduce waste on Christmas celebrations!

India is traditionally a tea-drinking country. But, it is now gaining a new taste for coffee. This has led international coffee companies to consider opening businesses in the huge market. Local business people are also hoping to profit from the country’s tea-drinking habits. They want to open new stores that offer tea.
It is ten thirty in the morning in India. Two cafes are within meters of each other, near a college in New Delhi. And they are selling a lot of tea. Their main customers are undergraduate students.
“We have a lot of break between classes, so whenever we get time, we just go and we enjoy ourselves. It’s a lot of fun, especially when you are with people you enjoy spending time with.”
In the past ten years, cafes have become increasingly popular in India. The country’s huge young population have quickly taken to the coffee culture.
Coffee stores have spread from major cities like New Delhi and Mumbai to smaller towns. Coffee use has doubled in the last ten years. It is the success of this market that has gained the attention of companies like the American-based coffee chain Starbucks. The company will open its first store in India later this year. Other companies like Lavazza and Costa Coffee are already there.
Yet, the growth of coffee will not reduce the popularity of tea. Indians drink eight times more tea than coffee. They have been drinking tea for more than one hundred and fifty years. India is one of the world’s biggest producers of tea, which is known locally as “chai”. Outside homes and offices, it is mostly sold by small businesses on the street.
【小題1】Why do international coffee companies consider opening businesses in India?

Rock stars and their money
Around the world young people are spending unbelievable sums of money listening to rock music. Forbes reports that at least fifty rock stars have incomes between two million and six million dollars per year.
"It doesn't make sense," says Johnny Mathis, one of the older music millionaires, who made a million dollars a year when he was popular in 1950s. "Performers aren't worth this kind of money. In fact, nobody is."
But the rock stars' admirers seem to disagree. Those who love rock music spend about two billion dollars a year for records. They pay 150 million to see rock stars in person.
Luck is a key word for explaining the success of many. In 1972 one of the luckiest was Kon Mclean, who wrote and sang "American Pie". Mclean writes his own music, so he earns an additional two cents on every single record of the song.
Neil Young who performs in torn blue jeans, sometimes sings to an audience of 10,000, each of whom has paid five dollars for a ticket. After paying expenses, Young leaves with about $ 18,000 in his blue jeans at the end of an evening.
How do the rock stars use their money? What do they do when the money starts pouring in like water? Most of the young stars simply show the money around. England's Elton John gave someone a $ 38,000 Rolls car and bought himself 5,000 pairs of eyeglasses, then lighted up and spelt ：E-L-T-O-N. He also bought himself two cars, "one for each foot".
Many rock stars live like Grace Slick and Jefferson Airplane. Those performers return from a tour, pay their bills, and buy new toys. Then when they need money again, they do another tour. They save no money and live from hand to mouth.www.zxxk.com
In the end the rock stars' life is unrewarding. After two or three years riches and fame are gone. Left with his memories and his tax problems, the lonely star spends his remaining years trying to attract strangers. New stars have arrived to take his place.
【小題1】 This passage is mainly about       .

A．the success of a rock star B．the way rock stars live
C．rich rock stars D．the admirers of rock stars
【小題2】 How much expense does Neil Young pay for a performance?
A． $10,000 B．$33,000 C． $32,000 D．$38,000
【小題3】According to passage, the underlined phrase "from hand to mouth" means       .
A．they have to earn money by hand
B．They know how to spend money in a reasonable way
C．they earn money only for their immediate enjoyment
D．they steal to feed their mouth when they need money

Bright red post boxes, the Queen and queuing—what do they all have in common? They are all important parts of British life. At least I thought so.
However, the ability to queue for long periods of time, once believed to be a traditional characteristic of the British, is no longer tolerated by people in the UK, according to a survey done for British bank Barclays.
Once upon a time, queuing was seen as normal. During World WarⅡ, everyone had to queue up to receive their daily supply of foods. In fact, if you didn't stand up and wait in line with all the others, it was seen as uncivilized.
The famous English double-decker buses, with only one entrance, might also help explain why queuing was seen as a part of British life. Almost always, there is queue to get on. www.zxxk.com
But perhaps the British are tired of being pushed past by the Spanish, the Italians or the French as they queue up to get a table at a restaurant. The people of these other European countries have more than one entrance to their buses, which explains their more relaxed attitude to the queue.
Two minutes is now the longest time most British people are prepared to stand and wait. But could it be that the Internet, which allows us to carry out tasks quickly, is the main reason why British people are no longer prepared to queue?
"Used to buying without delay, customers are even giving up purchases rather than wait their turn," says Stuart Neal of Barclaycard. "Shoppers are also less likely to queue for long if the item they are buying is of low value."
Perhaps I will have to replace "queuing" with "impatience" in my list of things I relate to the British. 
【小題1】 What can we learn about the tradition of queuing in Britain? 

A．It was considered a symbol of a civilized behavior.
B．It was a long time tradition as old as the Queen.
C．It was a product of the slow pace of life.
D．It has made the Britain different from other Europeans.
【小題2】 According to the passage, the British gradually stopped queuing because ______.
A．they prefer shopping online
B．the Internet has changed their way of life
C．what they are buying is of low value
D．they follow the example of foreigners
【小題3】 It can be learned from the text that ______. 
A．the British used to buy without delay
B．the British have to queue to receive food
C．the British get impatient with queuing for long
D．the British prefer to take double-decker buses
【小題4】The author's main purpose of writing the passage is _______.
A．to tell us the influence of the Internet on the British ways of life
B．to compare the cultural difference between Britain and other countries
C．to report his research on the British ways of life
D．to talk about the changes in the attitude to queuing in Britain
