As you get closer to middle school, a computer with Internet access becomes more of a necessity. Teachers will often give assignments that require a student to use the Internet for research. After a computer, technology choices for students become more difficult to make – especially when it comes to cell-phones. Kids will beg their parents for a cell-phone, especially in middle school. For many parents, it’s a safety issue: They want to know that their kids can reach them quickly if necessary. For teachers, cell phones can be used to record lessons when students are absent. But many teachers dislike cell-phones. Some kids send messages or have talks in the class. Sending messages also raises the problem of cheating on exams. More and more schools are now forbidding the use of cell-phones.
Many kids see iPods as necessary things to have. IPods are great for music, but do they do anything good for your children’s education? Maybe they do. That’s the opinion of Doug Johnson, an educator for 30 years. Johnson says that educators should accept all new forms of technology in the classroom, including iPods. “Some do more with their cell- phones than we can do with our laptops,” he jokes. “I don’t think we should be afraid. The truth is that it’s easier to change the way we teach than to change the technology habits of an entire generation.”

举一反三
People in the business warn that the road to a successful broadcast media career can be very rocky. They point out that getting started in the field is often difficult. To begin with, competition for most broadcast jobs can be fierce. Then, once on the job, the pressure is often big. Many jobs in broadcasting require long working hours, including nights and weekends. In most cases, the salaries are not very high.
What can you do to prepare for a career in broadcast media? Getting some kind of broadcasting experience during high school or college can be extremely important. Because the field is so popular, many employers are in a position to select beginners with developed skills.
You can start by becoming familiar with media while still in high school. If there is a media resource department in your school, volunteer to do anything. If there is no media department, take photos of games and social events. Work on the drama productions or write for the school newspaper.
Many beginners in broadcasting start at small local radio or TV stations. Such stations are usually more willing than the networks to take on people with little or no experience. Here, you have a chance to be involved in many aspects of the broadcast industry and get trained on the job.
小题1:According to the writer, jobs with the TV networks ________.
A.require experience with local stations |
B.are harder to find than jobs with local stations |
C.are learned through training programs |
D.pay high salaries |
A.Applicants(申请者) with experience are preferred. | B.There are fewer jobs. |
C.Training programs are limited. | D.Higher pay is being offered. |
A.start broadcasting | B.give up broadcasting |
C.gain experience | D.choose a special skill |
Although a temperature rise of 2°may not seem significant, the local effects may be much greater: in polar regions a rise of 10°by 2025 is expected and in Northern Europe a rise of 4°. Indeed the first effects were expected to be felt before the end of the 20th century,
But how does the “greenhouse effect”operate and why should such a tiny proportion(比例)of CO2 have such a harmful effect? When living creatures breathe out or when things are burned, CO2 enters the atmosphere. Until recently all of this was absorbed by plants, which converted it back into oxygen.
However, the balance of nature has been disturbed. In power stations, in factories and in our cars, we are burning more and more fossil fuels( coal, oil and natural gas ) and this produces huge quantities of CO2---18 billion tons of it enter the atmosphere every year. Added to this, the destruction of forests means that less CO2 can be converted into oxygen by plants. So, the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is increasing every year.
小题1:Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A.Professor Bolin’s predictions were taken seriously in the first place |
B.Only a small portion of the atmosphere consists of carbon dioxide |
C.No changes in climate will become noticeable for 50 years or more |
D.The rise in temperature will probably be 2 degrees in every part of the world. |
A.Carbon dioxide is produced when we breathe |
B.Carbon dioxide is produced when we burn things |
C.More forests are destroyed and more fossil fuels are burned |
D.The global temperature keeps rising |
A.the problem of the rising global temperature |
B.the problem of increasing population worldwide |
C.the problem of decreasing population worldwide |
D.the problem of air pollution |
A.play | B.move | C.manage | D.function |
1. Be observant of needs
To be useful to others, you should always be aware of even the slightest clues of needs. The more sensitive you are to the needs of others, the more appreciative people will eventually become. The best plan is being able to anticipate a need before the other people are even aware of it.
2. Find solutions to the needs
Now that you are aware of needs, the next step is finding solutions to them. The solutions you offer should be as useful as possible. To be able to do so, there is no other way but to continuously build your own value. It is from the value you have that you could give value to others.
3. Be proactive to help
Do not wait for the other person to ask for your help. Be proactive. Give your help even before they ask.
4. _________________
What matters is not only the solution you offer, but also the way you deliver it. Being sincere means being glad to help others without expecting anything in return. Make it your joy to give something to others. People can somehow distinguish whether or not you are sincere.
5. Go the extra mile
Doing the above four steps is good, but add this one if you can: give more than expected. First, give what is expected, and then add a little more. If you do the above four steps people will be appreciative, but if you add this one step they will be impressed.
小题1: What is the measure of success according to the author?

Let’s look at this a little closer with an example. A lot of people might set forth as a goal. Many people jump online and are looking to start a business online as a way to make money from home and let’s say they set a goal to make $10,000 in their first month. They do this because they seem tons of people making large sums of money in very little time so they think, $10,000 a month, that shouldn’t be too hard.
But what happens when you only bring in $1,000 in your first 30 days online? If this is pure profit you might still be happy but this is nowhere near reaching the goal you originally set out to meet. So naturally you would feel like you failed to reach your goal and you may be a little disappointed in yourself.
If you continue not to reach this goal month in month , it starts to add up and really weighs on you. I’m not saying that they are bad and you shouldn’t set them but you need to realize that you should not be emotionally attached to your goals.
An alternative approach would be to set certain milestones for when you want to accomplish things and start out small. Build your confidence by accomplishing smaller feats and if you overproduce, then it will be a nice surprise. You have to have some sort of end result in mind but break it down in to a day by day task. It makes it a lot easier for you to handle by just knowing everyday you have to complete a few small tasks and over time the snowball will roll into great things.
小题1:The purpose of the passage is to _______.
A.show that it’s necessary to set goals |
B.prove the disadvantages of setting goals |
C.suggest way of setting goals to reach success |
D.introduce how to reach success by setting high goals. |
A.persuade readers not to be greedy for money |
B.prove that goals often result in frustration. |
C.show goal setting sometimes stops you realizing your dreams |
D.advise readers not to set goals to avoid frustration |
A.important | B.unnecessary | C.ridiculous | D.natural |
A.The higher goals we set, the more success we’ll achieve |
B.Goal setting is not always necessary and helpful |
C.We shouldn’t set higher goals than other people |
D.Goals should be set for short term and long term. |
A.Another helpful tip for setting goals | B.Benefits of setting small goal |
C.Side effects of goal setting | D.Success achieved without goal setting. |
Green turtles continue to be caught for money by humans, and the destruction and loss of nesting and foraging(觅食)sites is a serious problem. Humans have already caused the decrease of large green turtle populations, including those that once nested in Bermuda and Cayman Islands. The situation of green turtle populations is difficult to determine because of our lack of knowledge about their life cycles. The number of nests in Florida appears to be increasing, but we don’t know whether this is due to an increase in the number of nests or because we have started to monitor(监控)nesting beaches more closely.
The green turtle is the largest hardshelled sea turtle. Adults of this species commonly reach 100 cm in length and 150 kg in mass. The average size of a female nesting in Florida is 101.5 cm straight in length, with an average body mass of 136 kg.
Growth rates of green turtles have not been measured under natural conditions. Green turtles grow slowly.
In the southern Bahamas, green turtles grow from 30 to 75 cm in 17 years, and according to Bjorndal and Bolten, growth rates decrease with increasing length. Growth rates measured in green turtles from Florida and Puerto Rico fall within the range of growth rates measured in the southern Bahamas. Based on growth rate studies of wild green turtles, the researchers Balazs, Frazer and Ehrhart estimate the age of sexual maturity(成熟)can range anywhere from 20 to 50 years.
小题1:The main idea of the passage is to tell us________.
A.something about an endangered animal |
B.how green turtles got extinct |
C.how heavy a green turtle is |
D.how long a green turtle can live |
A.Humans catch them to get profit. |
B.They lose their nests. |
C.They have fewer places to find food. |
D.People like to keep them as pets. |
A.can reach 100 cm in length in 17 years |
B.lives in the sea and grows very slowly |
C.lives only in Florida and on the Pacific coast of Mexico |
D.can grow from 30 to 75 cm in 17 years in southern Florida |
A.Because it is difficult for us to be close to them. |
B.Because we have limited knowledge about them. |
C.Because we haven’t measured their growth rates. |
D.Because they grow too slowly. |
