We live in a digital world now, and a student’s technology needs have changed. For the early years, when you are in primary school, you can get by with no technology at all. Even if you have a computer, it’s a good idea to get children familiar with libraries. At this age, trips to the library are like family outings.
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.”

A.use the computer and the Internet regularly

A.They want their children to be cool.

Radio, TV, film, and new video technology bring to mind visions of bright, exciting, high-paying careers. Many young people are attracted to wonder: Is there a place for me in the broadcast media field?
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

In the 1960s Professor Bolin predicted that the “greenhouse effect”, caused by an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere, would lead to important changes in the Earth’s climate. At the time his prediction were regarded as science fiction. But it is now gradually agreed that the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will double from 0.03% to 0.06% in the next 50 years and that temperatures worldwide will rise by 2°Celsius.
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.
小题2:The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is increasing every year because       .
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
小题3:The “greenhouse effect”refers to         
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
小题4:The underlined word“operate”in the third paragraph most probably means“      ”.
A.playB.moveC.manageD.function

Success is everybody’s dream. But what is the key to success? How can you be successful? I think we should measure success based on how much we give rather than how much we receive. Fortunately, it also works nicely the other way around since those who give more almost always will also receive more. So how do you pave your way to success? How do you become more successful? The answer is amazingly simple: the key to success is making yourself as useful as possible to others. Here are some ideas on how to do it.
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?
A.Success means giving more as well as asking for more.
B.Success is based on how much money you make.
C.The more you receive from others, the more successful you will be.
D.The more you give, the more successful you will be.
小题2:The underlined word anticipate in para 2 probably means_______
A.offerB.expectC.preventD.change
小题3:What’s the best title for the fifth paragraph?
A.Solutions Are Important.B.Give More Help to Others
C.Expecting More D.Be Sincere
小题4:The author would NOT agree that______
A.people should continuously build up their own value.
B.the best time to help others is when they ask for help.
C.people should help others without expecting anything in return.
D.it is good to give others more help than what is expected.
小题5:What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.How to measure success accurately.
B.How to make your dreams come true.
C.Giving is more important than receiving.
D.How a person can be most useful to others.

It might sound ridiculous that goal setting could actually hold you back from completing tasks and dreams you may have. But it seems like everyone tells you should be setting goals for everything you want to accomplish, short term and long term. Goals can help you sometimes, but in some cases they just lead to constant frustration and they actually bring you down.
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.
小题2:In Paragraph 2 , the writer used the example to _______.
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
小题3:According to the passage, always sticking to our goals is ______.
A.important B.unnecessaryC.ridiculousD.natural
小题4:What belief does the writer most probably hold?
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.
小题5:What information will probably be provided following the last paragraph?
A.Another helpful tip for setting goalsB.Benefits of setting small goal
C.Side effects of goal settingD.Success achieved without goal setting.
