Graduation day is a major accomplishment for anyone in high school. After      your whole life in classrooms, though, what will be next? For some people, graduation is the        time they ever want to see a        again. For others, it is the next step in their education.

Some of those people that decide that they never want to       a classroom again will most likely       some sort of simple jobs. Others will either find a way aside from school to better themselves,       through travel or giving back to the community.
High school graduates that already have their futures        0ut are pretty rare. They are the       who have been preparing for college from the first day that they         high school. They most likely applied early to the schools that they were interested       and have already dedicated themselves to the career        they want. Most of them will become doctors, lawyers, and business people, etc.
The last group of people is the biggest. It is the students who _     know that they want to do something but have no idea what. Some of them will _      the military and proudly serve our country. Others will go on t0       , take basic courses, and then decide what they want to major in. There will be some students even         to a technical school to learn a specific     that they can contribute to the workforce.        is a stepping stone that can lead you on to better things if you will let it.

Beware of those who use the truth to cheat. When someone tells you something that is       , but leaves out important information that should be         , he can create a false impression.
For example, someone might say, “I just          a hundred dollars on the lottery. It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and          it for one hundred dollars!”
This guy’s a winner,        ? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred           , and only one was a winner. He’s really a big          !
He didn’t say anything that was         , but he deliberately left out some important      . That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically         , but they are just as not         .
Untrustworthy candidates in           campaigns often use this strategy. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and        three million jobs. Then she          another term. One of her opponents runs an advertisement       , “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” That’s true.         , an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of        million jobs.”
Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s         the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the         . An advertisement might boast (吹噓), “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples.” It          to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.
This kind of cheat happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.

The new science of spending comes to a surprising conclusion, How we use our money may        as much or more than how much we’ve got it.
Money spent on experiences, rather than material ,goods,        more happiness.

The money will probably make you think about one thing     all else—yourself. A large amount of research reveals that money     our selfish sides. We will     much on what that money can do for us alone, Perhaps you are imagining buying a faster car, or even a new house,
But studies show that     goods often fail to deliver     happiness, Fortunately ,our ongoing research     many ways to get more happiness from every dollar you spend, Changing how you spend money can increase your happiness.
But making these     needs to challenge some of our ideas of spending It’s hard not to    buying a house as a wise investment(投資), But new research shows it brings very little happiness, A study in the United States found that homeowners, on average , were no happier than     .
So, working hard to save money for a house might not be such a good idea     it means spending less time with your families and friends.
And dozens of studies show that people get more happiness from buying     than material things, Experiential purchases --- such as trips, concerts and special meals--- are more     connected to our sense, of self.
And experiences come with one more     , They tend to bring us     to other people , but more often , material things are enjoyed   . So social contacts are important to     mental and physical health.

Recently, an almost literal case of lifeboat ethics(倫理) occurred. On Aug. 4, Graham and Sheryl Anley, while boating off the coast of South Africa, hit a rock. As the boat threatened to sink the husband got off, but his wife was trapped in the boat. Instead of freeing his wife and getting her to shore, Graham grabbed Rosie, their pet dog. With Rosie safe and sound, Graham returned for Sheryl. All are doing fine.
It's a great story, but it doesn't strike me as especially newsworthy. News is supposed to be about something fairly unique, and recent research suggests that, in the right circumstances, lots of people also would have grabbed their Rosie first.
We have strange relationships with our pets. We lavish our pets with adoration and better health care than billions of people receive. We speak to pets with the same high-pitched voices that we use for babies. As an extreme example of our feelings about pets, the Nazis had strict laws that guaranteed the humane treatment of the pets of Jews being shipped to death camps.
A recent paper by George Regents University demonstrates this human involvement with pets to an astonishing extent. Participants in the study were told a situation in which a bus is out of control, bearing down on a dog and a human. Which do you save? With responses from more than 500 people, the answer was that it depended: What kind of human and what kind of dog?
Everyone would save a brother, grandparent or close friend rather than a strange dog. But when people considered their own dog versus people less connected with them—a distant cousin or a hometown stranger—votes in favor of saving the dog came rolling in. And an astonishing 40% of respondents, including 46% of women, voted to save their dog over a foreign tourist.
What does a finding like this mean? First, that your odds aren't so good if you find yourself in another country with a bus bearing down on you and a cute dog. But it also points to something deeper: our unprecedented(史無前例的) attitude toward animals, which got its start with the birth of humane societies in the 19th century.
We prison people who abuse animals, put ourselves in harm's way in boats between whales and whalers and show sympathy to Bambi and his mother. We can extend empathy to an animal and feel its pain like no other species. But let's not be too proud of ourselves. As this study and too much of our history show, we're pretty selective about how we extend our humaneness to other human beings.
【小題1】What is the function of the first paragraph?

A.To create a relaxing mood for readers.
B.To present the theme of this essay straightly.
C.To lead in the main topic of this essay.
D.To raise problems that will be solved later.
【小題2】The author mentions Nazi laws in the third paragraph _______________.
A.to show how cruel the Nazis were to the Jews
B.a(chǎn)s an example to persuade people not to love pets
C.to illustrate the strange relationship between human and pets
D.a(chǎn)s an example to display the humaneness of the Nazis
【小題3】Which of the following is true according to the article?
A.The story of the Anleys and their dog was too unique to be newsworthy.
B.Most people surveyed choose to save their own dog rather than a human.
C.It was in the 19th century that human beings started to love their pets.
D.Human beings are more and more concerned with animals nowadays.
【小題4】What does the author mainly argue for?
A.Pets are of great significance to us human beings.
B.We should rethink about our attitude towards animals and mankind.
C.It is kind of human beings to extend humaneness to animals.
D.We should be selective when showing attitude toward other human beings.

For incoming freshmen at western Connecticut's suburban Brookfield High School, lifting a backpack weighed down with textbooks is about to give way to tapping out notes and touching electronic pages on an iPad,  A few hours away, every student at Burlington High School near Boston.will also start the year with new school-issued iPads, each loaded with electronic textbooks and other online resources in place of traditional texts.Apple officials say they know of more than 600 districts that have launched what are called "one-to-one" programs.
At Burlington High in suburban Boston, Principal Patrick Larkin says the  $500 iPads is better than textbooks in the long term, though he said the school will still use traditional texts in some courses if suitable electronic programs aren't yet available." Lark/n said of textbooks, "but they're pretty much outdated the minute they're printed and certainly by the time they're delivered"
But some experts warn that the districts need to ensure they can support the wireless infrastructure (設(shè)施), repairs and other costs that accompany a switch to such a tech-heavy approach. Mark Warschauer, an education and informatics professor said, "I think people will like it. I really don't know anybody in high school that wouldn't want to get an iPad," he said. "We're always using technology at home, then when you're at school it's textbooks.so it's a good way to put all of that together." Districts are varied in their policies on how they police students' use.
And the nation's textbook publishing industry,  accounting for $ 5.5 billion in yearly sales to secondary schools, is taking notice of the trend with its own shift in a competitive race toward developing curriculum (課程) specifically for iPads. Jay Diskey, executive director of the Association of American Publishers' schools division, said all of the major textbook publishers are moving toward electronic offerings, but at least in the short term, traditional bound textbooks are here to stay."I think one of the real key questions that will be answered over the next several years is what sort of things work best in print for students and what smt of things work best digitally, "
【小題1】The first paragraph is mainly about             

A.a(chǎn) program to promote iPads marketing in new school year
B.a(chǎn) program to spread electronic learning in new school year
C.a(chǎn) plan of how to use iPads in the coming school education
D.a(chǎn) plan of how to use IT technique in die coming school teaching
【小題2】What's the problem for iPads to be used in schools at present?
A.Some students wouldn't like to have iPads in schools.
