9.Wugging,or web use giving,describes the act of giving to charity at no cost to the user.By using Everyclick.com,which is being added to a number of university computers across the UK,students can raise money every time they search,but it won't cost them a penny.
Research shows that students are extremely passionate(熱情) about supporting charity-88% of full time students have used the Internet to give to charity.This age group is often the least likely to have their own income.19% of 22to 24year olds have short-term debts of more than£5,000.With rising personal debt levels in this age group,due to university tuition fees or personal loans and a lack of long-term savings,traditional methods of donating to charity are often not attractive or possible.
Beth Truman,a 21-year-old recent university graduate,has used Everyclick.com to donate to her chosen charity,the RSPCA,for two years and has seen the"wugging"movement grow in popularity with students."When you're at university you become more socially aware,but it's sometimes hard to give to others when you have little money yourself,"says Beth."Wugging is great for people in this age group as it allows them to use the technology on a daily basis(基礎(chǔ)) to give to charity,without costing them a single penny."
Wugging is perfect for people who want to be more socially aware and supportive but don't feel they have the means to do so.Students using the web can raise money for causes they care about without costing them anything in terms of time or money,and charities get a valuable source of funding.
Everyclick.com works like any other search engine,allowing users to search for information,news and images but users can decide which of the UK's 170,000charities they would like to support through their clicks.Everyclick.com then makes monthly payments to every registered(注冊(cè)的)charity.Launched in June 2005,Everyclick.com is now the eighth largest search engine and one of the busiest charity websites in the UK.

A.a(chǎn) website   
B.a(chǎn)n action for charity

19.Most parents love the Internet and want their kids to use it.But a new survey in America finds almost as many also fear the online world-especially social networking sites such as MySpace-and worry their kids will get in trouble with people they meet.
"The parents see the web's incredible potential,and they know their kids have to be there,"says James Steyer,CEO of Common Sense Media,which released results from a survey that looked into parental attitudes toward the Internet."It's also what they are scared of most."
Meeting bad people online
The study was conducted online May 5-10 by Insight Research Group.It says 80% of parents are concerned about kids meeting bad people online.
That's because young people who largely have grown up with the Net think of it as a social outlet,say the researchers.To young people,the benefits of giving out some personal information to reach out to friends outweigh the risks.And,the study shows they are so comfortable with the medium that 78% have a personal website or blog.

"Findings suggest both parents and teens need more education about using online media,"Steyer says.

18.A new report says sea ice in the Arctic Ocean is melting more quickly than expected.American scientists say the ice is melting even faster than computer programs had estimated.
Scientists know that climate change has a major effect on the Arctic Ocean partly because sea ice is disappearing.They also know that areas of open seawater are expanding.Such areas are known to take in sunlight and increase temperatures.Scientists say this has helped to cause the loss of the Arctic's ice cover.
For the study,the American scientists compared eighteen computer programs with observations made by satellites and other instruments.The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change used the computer programs to prepare its 2007estimates of climate change.
The computer programs gave estimates of the amount of ice in the Arctic Ocean in the month of September.September is when the Arctic has the least ice,after the warm,summer months.The computer estimates suggested an ice loss of two and a half percent for every ten-year period between 1953and 2006.
Newer studies of the Arctic have used information gathered by aircraft,satellites and ships.This information showed a loss of September ice cover of almost eight percent for every ten-year period between 1953and last year.This means the ice is disappearing about thirty years faster than the computer programs estimated.
The scientists say the programs might not have recognized the full effect of increased carbon dioxide and other gases in Earth's atmosphere.They say their study suggests the gases may have more of an effect than had been thought.

66.It is reported that sea ice in the Arctic Ocean is melting more quickly than expected mainly becauseB.
A.sea ice's disappearance               B.climate change
C.seawater's expansion                   D.the loss of the Arctic's ice cover
67.How did the scientists draw the conclusion that sea ice in the Arctic Ocean is melting more quickly than expected?A
A.The scientists have compared the computer programs with observation made by satellites and other instruments.
B.The scientists have found that the seawater take in sunlight and increase temperatures
C.The scientists have figured out many numbers with the help of computer.
D.The scientists have been observing the Arctic Ocean for many years.
68.If the ice melts at the present speed,by the end of this century the ice loss in the Arctic Ocean will beD according to newer studies.
A.22.5%          B.35%       C.72%        D.100%
69.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?C
A.The figures of the computer estimates are wrong.
B.Scientists study climate change through studying sea level.
C.Newer studies show gases may have more effect on sea ice in the Arctic Ocean.
D.The ice is melting even faster than satellites have estimated.
70.This report mainly warns human toC.
A.prevent the sea ice in the Arctic Ocean from melting any more
B.pay more attention to the loss of the Arctic's ice cover
C.take necessary steps to protect the environment of our earth
D.stop summer sea ice in the Arctic from disappearing so fast.
