Multiplied a million times over, I believe that is the way the world works. At some level, we all depend upon one another. Sometimes that dependence requires us simply not to do something like crossing over the double yellow line. And sometimes it requires us to act cooperatively, with friends or even with strangers.
As technology makes our world smaller and smaller, the need increases for cooperative action among nations. In 2003, doctors in five nations were quickly organized to identify the SARS virus, which saved thousands of lives. The threat of international terrorism has shown itself to be a similar problem, one requiring team action by police and intelligence forces across the world. We must recognize that our fates are not ours alone to control.
In my own life, I used to put great stock in personal responsibility. But, as time has passed, I’ve also come to believe that there are moments when one must rely upon the good faith and judgment of others. So, while each of us faces the case of driving alone down a dark road, what we must learn with experience is that the approaching light may not be a threat, but a shared moment of trust.
小题1:The author considers it very important ______.
A.to drive with a companion | B.to have personal independence |
C.to gain certain responsibility | D.to share trust and cooperation |
A.the approaching car was very dangerous |
B.they both drove their car at a terrific speed |
C.he might be killed out of the other’s careless driving |
D.it was dark and the road was not wide enough |
A.only one experience | B.many similar experiences |
C.a driver on a dark road | D.many friends and strangers |
A.people’s fates can’t be controlled by themselves |
B.certain viruses can spread in a quick way |
C.terrorism can happen everywhere and every day |
D.the world has become much more dangerous |
A.believed in one’s own personal responsibility |
B.counted upon himself alone in everything |
C.had no trust in others’ good faith and judgment |
D.had a change on his viewpoint of life |

Face to face contact is by no means the only form of communication and during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become one of the dominating factors of contemporary society. Two things, above others, have caused the enormous growth of the communication industry. Firstly, inventiveness has led to advanced imprinting, telecommunications photography, radio and television. Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmission (传输) and reception of communications so that local news often takes a back seat to national news, which itself is often almost eclipsed( 侵蚀) by international news.
No longer is the possession of information confined to(只限于) a privileged minority. In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed fortunate, but today there are public libraries. For years ago people used to flock to the cinema, but now far more people sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a programme that is being channeled into millions of homes.
Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of information. The modem communication industry influences the way people live in society and broadens their horizons by allowing access to information, education and entertainment. The printing, broadcasting and advertising industries are all involved with informing, educating and entertaining.
Although a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is very valuable to the individual and to the society of which he is part, the vast modem network of communications is open to abuse(滥用). However, the mass media are with us for better, for worse, and there is no turning back.
小题1:In the first paragraph the writer emphasizes the of face-to-face contact in social setting.
A.nature | B.limitation | C.creativity | D.usefulness |
A.local news used to be the only source of information |
B.local news still takes a significant place |
C.national news is becoming more popular |
D.international news is the fastest transmitted news |
A.Possessing information used to be a privilege. |
B.Public libraries have replaced the private completely. |
C.Communication means more than transmission. |
D.Information influences ways of life and thinking. |
A.indifferent to the harmful influence of the mass media |
B.happy about the flexible changes in the mass media |
C.pessimistic about the future of the mass media |
D.concerned about the wrong use of the mass media |
Advertising is now a scientific business. Once managers would say jokingly, " I know that half of what I spend on advertising is wasted, but I don"t know which half." Now, all parts of an advertising program are properly measured and researched.
What makes a good advertisement? There have been major changes in advertising in the past sixty years. People read advertisements partly for information and partly for pleasure. Today"s advertisements often start with a question, or a puzzle, with the purpose of attracting the reader"s attention. Of course, most advertisements contain information. But this is usually contained in a text that is interesting and often funny. Humor is very important. Sometimes advertisements tell a story, or the story may be continued over a number of advertisements. However, there is a danger in this. It is possible that the reader or viewer will remember the advertisement but not the name of the product.
小题1:The purpose of advertising is ____.
A.to increase product sales |
B.to make a product much better |
C.to spend more money |
D.to reduce the production |
A.Here and there. | B.Again and again. |
C.As usual. | D.At the same time. |
A.A11 the money on advertising was wasted. |
B.Not all the advertisements were well designed. |
C.A11 the managers knew about advertising then. |
D.Managers spent no money on advertising. |
A.Useless. | B.Unnecessary. | C.Important. | D.Wasteful. |
People who studied plants have found out that plants carry a small electrical charge (电荷). It is possible to measure this charge with a small piece of equipment called “galvanometer”. The galvanometer is placed on a leaf off the plant, and it records any changes in the electrical field of the leaf. Humans have a similar field which can change when we are shocked or frightened.
A man called Backster used a galvanometer for his studies of plants and was very surprised at his results. He found that if he had two or more plants in a room and he began to destroy one of them - perhaps by pulling off its leaves or by pulling it out of its pot - then the galvanometer on the leaves of the other plants showed a change in the electrical field. It seemed as if the plants were signalling a feeling of shock. This happened not only when Backster started to destroy plants, but also when he destroyed other living things such as insects (昆虫).
Backster said that the plants also knew if someone had destroyed a living thing some distance away, because they signalled when a man who had just cut down a tree entered the room.
Another scientist, named Sauvin, achieved similar results to Backster’s. He kept galvanometers fixed to his plants all the time and checked regularly to see what the plants were doing. If he was out of the office, he telephoned to find out about the signals the plants were sending. In this way, he found that the plants were sending out signals at the exact times when he felt strong pleasure or pain. In fact, Sauvin could cause a change in the electrical field of his plants over a distance of a few miles simply by thinking about them.
小题1:Backster was surprised at the results of his studies because _____.
A.he destroyed an insect |
B.he destroyed a plant by pulling off its leaves |
C.he found that plants could express feelings of shock |
D.he found that plants could move and speak after all |
A.only when Backster Started to destroy plants |
B.when Backster destroyed plants or other living things |
C.only when he destroyed things such as insects |
D.only when Backster placed the galvanometer on the leaves of the plants |
A.did not agree with Backster’s ideas |
B.did not get the same sort of results as Backster did |
C.got different results from Backster’s |
D.found out some of the same things that Backster did |
A.The electrical charge plants carry may shock or frighten us. |
B.A tree will signal when it has been cut down. |
C.Sauvin could make his plants send out signals some distance away. |
D.Plants have feelings because they can receive signals without moving. |
1. Bill Gates
Harvard’s campus paper “Harvard Crimson” called Bill Gates “Harvard’s most successful dropout,” while the rest of the world preferred to name him “the world’s richest man” for more than a decade. Now, even not on the top, he is still among the list of the world’s wealthiest people.Gates entered Harvard in the fall of 1973. Two years later, he dropped out to found Microsoft with friend Paul Allen. And in 2007, he finally received an honorary doctorate from Harvard.
2. Steve Jobs
The iPad, even Buzz Lightyear probably wouldn’t have existed if Steve Jobs stayed in school. Because his family couldn’t afford his college education, Jobs had to drop out of Reed College just after entering for 6 months. Then he found Apple, NeXT Computer and Pixar, which had made great influences on development of modern technique and culture. However, this wizard thought that his brief college education was not worthless.
3. Frank Lloyd Wright
As the America’s most celebrated architect, Wright spent more time on designing colleges rather than attending classes in them. Once spent one year in the University of Wisconsin-Madison, then he left for Chicago and started to learn from Louis Sullivan, the “father of modernism." Wright’ s splendid resume included more than 500 works, most famous of which are Fallingwater and New York City"s Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.

It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to learn some facts or a formula by heart. It is actually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula(公式) in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a maths problem. Great scientist, such as Einstein, Newton and Galileo, didn’t get everything from school. But they were all so successful and invented so many things for men. They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. They would ask many questions as they read and they did thousands of experiments.
