     Being lonely in the crowd might seem ridiculous. But according to a recent survey, the situation is all too common. Loneliness and other anxiety problems - worrying about life’s pressures - can even lead to self-murder.
     An article in China Daily gave no reason for this other than the usual blaming of the post-80s generation. According to a high level official, young people suffering from discouragement are mostly “spoiled（溺愛）and have not been taught to be independent, responsible and express ‘thank-you’.” Well, how do you like that? First, I don’t think China’s youth are exactly spoiled. They certainly have more things than their parents did, but a lot of the money spent on them is for their education including various extra classes.
     Discouragement and anxiety are now the fastest growing challenges in modern societies. We sense a lack of close friends who can talk to honestly and openly. In 1985, a US study found that one in ten people did not have such a friend. In 2006, it was one in four. It’s easy to see the connection between loneliness and discouragement. But what actually causes this increasing loneliness?
     Surely, with Internet social networking sites such as Kaixin, we have more friends than ever. A new study has shown that the more time teenagers spend in front of computers, the less close they are to friends and family. Kaixin or QQ may be fun but it lacks meaning, compared to personal connections in the real world.
     And then there are those endless online games popular with young Chinese but increasingly there are more interesting choices. For example, new sports such as skateboarding are starting to catch on in bigger cities, as is playing music in a band. These creative hobbies are done in a group and thus friendship can be stronger. Hopefully young people will also be drawn out of the Internet cafes and interactive computer games that in fact fail to recreate a real and interactive experience.
1. According to the high level official, it is easy for teenagers lacking independence and responsibility to
    _______.
A. suffer from loneliness and anxiety
B. play endless online games
C. cause adoption of self-destruction
D. worry about life’s pressures
2. What does the writer think of the Internet social networking site Kaixin?
A. Open but ridiculous.
B. Funny but meaningless.
C. Real and interesting.
D. Honest and responsible.
3. It can be inferred in Paragraph 3 that _______.
A. young people have no idea of expressing appreciation because of being spoiled 
B. parents focus mostly on children’s education rather than the personality building
C. there is a tendency that it’s harder to find close friends to have an honest chat with
D. teenagers will recreate a real and interactive experience to strengthen friendship
4. According to the text, which of the following can help us avoid being lonely in the crowd?
A. To stay long in Internet cafes.
B. To play music in a band.
C. To abandon our own hobbies.
D. To focus on extra courses.

任務(wù)型閱讀。
     What can you do to make sure your car isn’t stolen?
     Well, first and most obviously, lock the car when you leave it. That includes locking the boot for
luggage and closing all the windows. Even a tiny break allows a thief to insert a wire to force open the lock button. Of course, don’t leave the keys hanging in the ignition（點(diǎn)火器）. And don’t hide a spare key
inside or outside the car - thieves know all the hiding places. If your car breaks down, lock up before you go for help. Even if you can’t start the car, a thief may be able to.
     Now since chances of losing cars are greater from dusk to mid-night, make sure you park in a
well-lighted area, preferably where there are plenty of passers-by, say, near a busy store or a restaurant.
Avoid leaving your keys with a garage or parking-lot assistant: choose the place you park yourself.
     Keep your driver’s license in your wallet or purse, not in the separate divisions of your car. You should also have a record of your car’s vital statistics both in your wallet and somewhere at home. This can help with recovery in case of stealing.
     And finally, it’s a good idea to fix some kind of safety devices. There is a range available from alarm
systems that set off a siren（警報(bào)）if an attempt is made to interfere with the car in any way, to fuel
shut-off systems and time delay ignition systems. Displaying a warning sign will also help discourage
would-be thieves. They don’t want to waste time on trying to steal a protected car.
     So, help yourself put car thieves out of business by always locking your car, fixing anti-stealing systems and co-operating with the police by reporting any attempt at stealing.

     A new book claims to have definitive evidence of a long-suspected technological crime-that Alexander
Graham Bell stole ideas for the telephone from a competitor, Elisha Gray.
     In The Telephone Gambit:Chasing Alexander Graham Bell's Secret,journalist Seth Shulman argues
that Bell-aided by aggressive lawyers and a corrupt patent examiner-got an improper glance at patent
documents Gray had filed,and that Bell was incorrectly credited with filing first.
     Shulman believes the smoking gun is Bell's lab notebook,which was limited by Bell's family until 1976,
then digitized and made widely available in 1999.
     The notebook details the false starts Bell met as he and assistant Thomas Watson tried transmitting
sound electromagnetically over a wire.Then,after a 12-day gap in 1876-when Bell went to Washington to
sort out patent questions about his work-he suddenly began trying another kind of voice transmitter.That
method was the one that proved successful.
     As Bell described that new approach,he drew a diagram of a person speaking into a device.Gray's
patent documents,which described a similar technique,also featured a very similar diagram.
     Shulman's book describes other elements that have angered researchers' suspicions. For instance,Bell's
transmitter design appears hastily(草率地) written in the margin of his patent; Bell was nervous about
demonstrating his device with Gray present; Bell resisted testifying(作證) in an 1878 lawsuit solving this
question; and Bell,as if ashamed,quickly distanced himself from the telephone patent right bearing his name.
     Perhaps the most instructive lesson comes when Shulman explores why historical memory has favoured
Bell but not Gray-nor German inventor Philipp Reis.who beat them both with 1860s telephones that
employed a different principle.
     One reason is simply that Bell,not Gray.actually demonstrated a phone that transmitted speech.Gray
was focused instead on his era's pressing communications challenge:how to send multiple messages
simultaneously(同時(shí)地) over the same telegraph wire.As Gray shouted to his lawyers,"I should like to
see Bell do that with his instruments."
1.The phrase"the smoking gun"in Paragraph 3 means"        ".  
A.the cause of a series of things            
B.something proving what one has done
C.the conclusion of a complex case        
D.something used to confuse people
2.According to Shulman,how did Bell steal the idea for telephone from Gray?
A.He secretly looked at Gray's patent documents.
B.He watched secretly while Gray was experimenting.
C.He was told the new technique by Gray's assistant.
D.He learned the new technique from the patent examiner.
3.How many examples are given by Shulman to prove that Bell stole the idea? 
A.3.                
B.4.              
C.5.            
D.6.

4.History treats Bell as the inventor of telephone because        .

A.he had written transmitter design in his patent
B.he founded a telephone company bearing his name
C.he proved how to send many messages at the same time
D.he made an actual demonstration of transmitting speech

     If you want to improve your child's results at school, you could do a lot worse than ensuring that they
do plenty of exercise．Scientists have already shown that physical activity can make you brainier．But
a team in America has used scans to show that an important part of the brain actually grows in children
who are fit．These youngsters tend to be more intelligent and have better memories than those who are
inactive．
     Scientists also found that one of the most important parts of their brains was 12 percent larger than
those of unfit children．They believe that encouraging children to take exercise from a very young age
could help them do better at school later．Researchers from the University of Illinois, in the U．S．,
studied the brains of 49 children aged nine and ten using a magnetic resonance imaging scan (核磁共振
攝影掃描), a technique which provides very detailed pictures of organs and tissues in the body．
     They also tested the fitness levels of the children by making them run on a treadmill (跑步機(jī))．The
scientists found that the hippocampus, a part of the brain responsible for memory and learning, was around
12 percent larger in the fitter children．
     Professor Art Kramer, who led the study published in the journal Brain Research, said the findings had
important implications for encouraging individuals to take part in sport from a young age．"We knew that
experience and environmental factors and socioeconomic status all impact brain development," he said．

     Some scientists say that animals in the oceans are increasingly threatened by noise pollution caused by
human beings.
     The noise that affects sea creatures comes from a number of human activities. It is caused mainly by
industrial underwater explosions, ocean drilling, and ship engines. Such noises are added to natural sounds. These sounds include the breaking of ice fields, underwater earthquakes, and sounds made by animals
themselves.
     Decibels (分貝) measured in water are different from those measured on land. A noise of one hundred and twenty decibels on land causes pain to human ears. In water, a decibel level of one hundred and
ninety-five would have the same effect.
     Some scientists have suggested setting a noise limit of one hundred and twenty decibels in oceans. They have observed that noises at that level can frighten and confuse whales.
     A team of American and Canadian scientists discovered that louder noises can seriously injure some
animals. The research team found that powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to
lose their hearing. This seriously affected the whales' ability to exchange information and find their way. Some of the whales even died. The explosions had caused their ears to bleed(流血)and become infected
(感染).
     Many researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds are against a limit of one hundred and twenty decibels. They say such a limit would mean an end to important industrial and scientific research.
     Scientists do not know how much and what kinds of noises are harmful to ocean animals. However,
many scientists suspect(懷疑)that noise is a greater danger than they believed. They want to prevent noises from harming creatures in the ocean.
1. According to the passage, which of the following is increasingly dangerous to sea creatures?
A. The noises of human activities.    
B. The noises made by themselves.
C. The sound of earthquakes.
D. The sound of the ice-breaking.
2. Which of the following is discussed in the third paragraph?
A. Different places with different types of noises.
B. The very human ears sensitive to all types of noises.
C. The same noise measured differently on land and in the ocean.
D. The ocean animals' reaction to noises.
3. According to the passage, what will scientists most probably do in the future?
A. They will try their best to decrease noise.
B. They will work hard to cut down noise pollution.
C. They will study the effect of different noises.
D. They will protect animals from harmful noises.

     Last year college students in America spent an estimated $700 on textbooks on average. The
National Association of College Stores reported more than five billion dollars in sales of textbooks
and course materials.
    The association spokesman Charles Schmidt says electronic textbooks now just make up
2%～3% of sales. But he says that is expected to reach 10%～15% by 2012.
      Online versions(版本) are now available for many of the most popular college textbooks. An
etextbook can cost half the price of a new print textbook.But students usually lose access to them
after the end of the term.And the books cannot be placed on more than one device(設(shè)備), so they
are not easy to share.
     So what do students think of etextbooks?Administrators at Northwest Missouri State University
wanted to find it out.Earlier this year they tested them with 500 students in 20 classes.
    The university is unusual.It provides laptop computers for all 7,000 of its fulltime students.It does
not require students to buy their textbooks either.They rent them to save money.The school aims to
save even more by moving to etextbooks.
     The students in the survey reported that downloading the books from the Internet was easy.They
liked the idea of carrying lighter backpacks.And 56% said they were better able to find information.
     But most found that using etextbooks did not change their study habits.And 60% felt they read
more when they were reading on paper.In all, almost half the students said they still liked physical
textbooks better.
     But the survey found that cost could be a big influence.55% said they would choose etextbooks
if using them meant their textbook rental fee would not increase.
     Roger Von Holzen heads the Center for Information Technology in Education at Northwest
Missouri State University.He tells us that administrators are disappointed with the etextbooks now
available because the majority are not interactive(交互式的).
     He thinks growth will come when more digital books include video, activities, games and other
ways to interact with the information.The technology is improving.But for now, most of the books
are just words on a screen.

1. Etextbooks are not better than paper books in that________.

A. they cost more money              
B. they're difficult to carry
C. they're not convenient to share        
D. they can't be downloaded from the Internet

2. How many surveyed students think paper books make better reading?

A. 60%.
B. 56%.
C. 55%.
D. 50%.

3. It can be inferred from the text that in the future________.

      What do working mothers worry about the most? It's the kids of course. Whatever the setting, the
question I get asked the most is "Will the kids be alright?" It's made me realize that we tend to look at the
glass half-empty rather than half-filled when it comes to mixing work and family. We forget about all the
benefits that we bring to our children when we work - and I'm not talking about the obvious financial
benefits, although these of course shouldn't be taken for granted.
     About a year ago I remember getting a call from the school just as I was pulling up to the house after
having driven 20 minutes to the school and 20 minutes back. "Mrs. Brown Quinn, your son asked us to
call. He forgot his sports clothes. Can you come back to the school and drop them off?" I was exasperated(惱火)! I had already spent 40 minutes in aggressive weekday morning traffic. I replied, "Sorry, I'm
working at the moment. I'm afraid my son needs to learn to be organized."
     Being a good parent requires delivering tough love sometimes. Kids need to learn to be independent.
It can be a cruel and competitive world out there. Seeking   interests, including business, outside of your
kids, can give you that extra idea that you need not care for your kids with attention. This benefit of
working isn't always immediately evident.
     It wasn't until our daughter went away to college that she realized why we had raised her in the way
that we did. "Mom, I can't believe how so many of my friends struggle to manage things on their own.
They are constantly calling their parents for help." You'll love that moment! After all those years of
complaining about why you don't do this or why you don't give them that, your kids realize that tough
love has made them better people.

1. The author refused to drop off her son's sports clothes because ______.

A. she was caught in heavy traffic
B. she was busy working
C. she thought her son was lying
D. she wanted her son to be organized

2. How can kids become better people according to the author?

A. By giving them all your attention.
B. By giving them freedom to do things on their own.
C. By showing them your deep love.
D. By giving them tough love.

3. The daughter's attitude towards the author is ______ when she grows up.

A. surprised
B. caring
C. understanding
D. disappointed

A. throw light on a special benefit of working
B. advise us to mix work and family

     "Experience may possibly be the best teacher, but it is not a particularly good teacher."You might think that Winston Churchill or perhaps Mark Twain spoke those words, but they actually come from James
March, a professor at Stanford University and a pioneer in the field of organizational decision making.For
years March (possibly the wisest philosopher of management) has studied how humans think and act, and he continues to do so in his new book The Ambiguities of Experience.
     He begins by reminding us of just how firmly we have been sticking to the idea of experiential learning: "Experience is respected; experience is sought; experience is explained." The problem is that learning from experience involves (涉及) serious complications(復(fù)雜化), ones that are part of the nature of experience
itself and which March discusses in the body of this book.
     In one interesting part of the book，for example, he turns a doubtful eye toward the use of stories as
the most effective way of experiential learning.In our efforts to make stories interesting, he argues, we lose part of the complicated truth of things.He says "The more accurately(精確地) reality is presented, the less understandable the story, and the more understandable the story, the less realistic it is."
     Besides being a broadly knowledgeable researcher, March is also a poet, and his gift shines through in
the depth of views he offers and the simple language he uses.Though the book is short, it is demanding: 
Don't pick it up looking for quick, easy lessons.Rather, be ready to think deeply about learning from
experience in work and life.
1. According to the text, James March is _____.
A. a poet who uses experience in his writing
B. a teacher who teaches story writing in university
C. a researcher who studies the way humans think and act
D. a professor who helps organizations make important decisions
2. According to James March, experience _____.
A. is overvalued      
B. is easy to explain
C. should be actively sought
D. should be highly respected
3. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
A. Experience makes stories more accurate.
B. Stories made interesting fail to fully present the truth.
C. The use of stories is the best way of experiential learning.
D. Stories are easier to understand when reality is more accurately described.
4. What's the purpose of this text?
A. To introduce a book.
B. To describe a researcher.
C. To explain experiential learning.
D. To discuss organizational decision making.
