8.Teachers say the digital age has had a good influence-and a not-so-good influence-on this generation of American teenagers.More than 2,000teachers took an online survey.Three-quarters of the teachers said the Internet and digital search tools have had a"mostly positive"effect on their students'research habits and skills.But 64percent said the technologies"do more to distract (使…分心) students than to help them academically."And 87percent agreed that these technologies are creating an"easily distracted generation with short attention spans."
The Pew Internet Project did the survey with the National Writing Project.Judy Buchanan is the vice director of the National Writing Project and a co-author of the report.Ms.Buchanan says digital research tools are helping students learn more and faster."Teachers really favor these tools because they are ways to make some of the learning exciting and engaging.Young people favor these tools.The goal is to really help them become creators of meaningful content,and not just sort of consumers."
But one problem the survey found is that many students lack digital literacy.They trust too much of the information they find on the Internet.Judy says these students haven't developed the skills to determine the quality of online information."It's something that really has to be taught and paid attention to.Because in a world in which things happen quickly,you do need to step back,reflect and analyze the information you have."
Another problem is blamed on something that might not seem like a problem at all:being able to quickly find information online.Teachers say the result is a reduction in the desire and ability of their students to work hard to find answers.They say students are overly dependent on search engines and do not make enough use of printed books or research libraries.
Many teachers are also concerned that the Internet makes it easy for students to copy work done by others instead of using their own abilities.

28.The text mainly tells usC.
A.a(chǎn)ll the students use digital tools        
B.the Internet is playing a key role
C.digital tools bring about benefits and problems
D.teachers encourage using digital tools
29.Which of the following best shows the structure of the text?A

30.The underlined sentence in the third paragraph probably meansB.
A.students do not have the right digital tools
B.students can't judge online information properly
C.students haven't the ability to adjust themselves

15.Wealth is what you accumulate(累積),not what you spend.If you make 1millionayearandspend1 million,you're not getting wealthier,you're just living high.
  The most successful accumulators of wealth spend less than they can afford on houses,cars,vacations and entertainment.Why?Because these things offer little or no return.The
wealthy would rather put their money into investments(投資) or their businesses.It's an attitude.
    Millionaires understand that when you buy an expensive house,you buy an expensive life-style too.Your property taxes(財(cái)產(chǎn)稅),insurance,and the prices of nearby services tend to be higher.
The rich man's attitude can also be seen in his car.Many drive old cars.Sam Walton,billionaire founder of the Wal-Mart Store,Inc,drove a pickup truck.
Most millionaires measure success by net worth(凈值),not income.Instead of taking their money home,they put as much as they can into their businesses.Why?Because the government doesn't tax wealth; it taxes income you bring home for consumption(消費(fèi)).
The person who piles up net worth fastest tends to put every dollar he can into investments,not consumption.
The best wealth-builders pay careful attention to their money and seek professional advice.
The self-made rich develop clear goals for their money.They may wish to retire early,or they may want to leave something to their children.The goals vary,but two things are consistent:they have a goal in min d--the amount they want to save by age50,perhaps--and they work unceasingly(不斷地)toward that goal.
One thing may surprise you.If you make wealth---not just income--your goal,the expensive house you've been dreaming about won't seem so attractive.You'll have the attitude.
27.In the author's opinion,those who spend money on expensive houses and carsB.
A.will not be taxed by the government
B.live high and have little saved
C.Have accumulated wealth in another sense.
D.can show that they are among rich
28.The rich put their money into business becauseB.
A.they are not interested in luxury houses and cars
B.they can get much in return to build their wealth
C.their goal is to develop their company
D.that is the only way to spend money yet not to be taxed by the government
29.The US government doesn't tax what you spend money onD.
A.cars      B.houses        C.boats        D.Stock(股票)

12.While Andrew was getting ready for work one Friday morning,he announced to his wife that he had finally decided to ask his boss for a salary raise.All day Andrew felt nervous and anxious as he thought about the upcoming showdown.What if Mr Larchmont refused to grant his request?Andrew had worked so hard in the last 18months and landed some great accounts for his company.Of course,he deserved a wage increase.
The thought of walking into Larchmont's office left Andrew weak in the knees.Late in the afternoon he was finally courageous enough to approach his superior.To his delight and surprise,the ever-frugal(一向節(jié)儉的)Harvey Larchmont agreed to give Andrew a raise!
Andrew arrived home that evening-despite breaking all city and state speed limits-to a beautiful table set with their best china,and candles lit.His wife,Tina,had prepared a delicate meal including his favorite dishes.Immediately he figured someone from the office had tipped her off!
Next to his plate Andrew found a beautiful lettered note.It was from his wife.It read:"Congratulations,my love!I knew you'd get the raise!I prepared this dinner to show just how much I love you.I am so proud of your accomplishments!"He read it and stopped to reflect on how sensitive and caring Tina was.
After dinner,Andrew was on his way to the kitchen to get dessert when he observed that a second card had slipped out of Tina's pocket onto the floor.He bent forward to pick it up.It read:"Don't worry about not getting the raise!You do deserve one!You are a wonderful provider and I prepared this dinner to show you just how much I love you even though you did not get the increase."
Suddenly tears swelled in Andrew's eyes.Total acceptance!Tina's support for him was not conditional upon his success at work.
The fear of rejection is often softened and we can undergo almost any setback or rejection when we know someone loves us regardless of our success or failure.

56.Which of the following statements about the story is FALSE?D
A.Andrew was afraid that his request would lead to disaster.
B.Andrew had worked very hard and done his part for the company.
C.Andrew's boss agreed to his request.
D.One of Andrew's colleagues had told his wife the good news.
57.Why did Tina prepare a grand dinner for Andrew that day?C
A.She was confident of his getting a pay raise.
B.She believed that her husband was the best in his company.
C.She meant to show her support to her husband.
D.She wanted to express her gratitude for his devotion to the family.

A.we should never be afraid to ask for what is due to us
B.work hard and you will be rewarded
C.many fears turn out to be unfounded

The 60focus groups brought together 1,500parents,pupils and school staff and is expected to heavily influence the thinking of the Rose review,which the government is promising to back.Instead of a broad range of subjects,pupils should study in-depth literacy and maths lessons alongside a more creative curriculum that encourages pupils to develop personal,learning and thinking skills,they say.Such lessons might include"healthy lifestyles,sex and relationships education,drugs and alcohol education".
"Child and personal development as priorities have been shamefully neglected in recent years in the rush to hit targets in the basics."John Bangs,head of education at the National Union of Teachers,said,"The worst thing would be to evaluate child development through the current high stakes testing system.That would weaken the capacity of teachers to meet children's unique needs."
However,the shadow schools minister,Nick Gibb,said,"If lessons on lifestyle are given the same status as traditional subjects,it is the most disadvantaged children who will be worst affected.""Children are not able to personally develop and succeed in the future if they don't have a grasp of basic subjects such as maths and English early on in primary school.Removing high requirement from the primary curriculum would increase the inequality gap between less well-off pupils and the rest."Nick added.A spokeswoman for the Department for Children,Schools and Families (DCSF) said,"This is a summary of stake holder's view,not the views of the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority or the DCSF,and has been submitted to Sir Jim Rose's review as evidence to consider."
