Electronic waste, or e-waste, refers to electronic products that are no longer usable. This can include TVs, cell phones and computers and other office electronics, electronic toys and videos machines. Today, the average turnover(更换)rate for a computer in the United States is every two years, according to the environmental group, Greenpeace.
The group"s Dai Yun says e-waste is a global problem. "The electronic industry is one of the fastest growing industries in the world. The high speed of growth in this industry means more and more electronic products are being wasted and thrown away. If no one decides to retrieve the old products and process them properly, the electronic waste will sweep over the earth like the huge wave behind me and pollute the Earth seriously."
Greenpeace works out that 20 to 50 million tons of e-waste are produced globally each year. The components(部件)in many electronic products contain harmful chemicals that pollute ground water and the environment.
At present , the U.S. has no federal law for the disposal (处理) of e-waste although a few states have e-waste recycling programs in place, but there is no law. The U.S. exports much of its e-waste to third world countries, such as India and China, where workers took apart computers for valuable parts, hoping to sell them for money. But harmful wastes expert, Dr. Bakul Rao, says that"s a dangerous practice. "From now on, the recyclers are not very educated. All they know is they can retrieve copper or gold out of it. So, the easiest way to do that is leach (过滤) it out in an acid or burn it off to retrieve it. So, that"s where they don"t know how to deal with it, neither do they have any health systems in place. So, their exposure is more."
小题1:Which of the following is most likely not to be a form of e-waste?
A.A mobile phoneB.A radio C.An e-bikeD.A table
小题2:What does the underlined word "retrieve" (paragraph 2) probably mean?
A.look intoB.take apartC.get backD.throw away
小题3:What of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A.The U.S. has strict national laws for dealing with e-waste.
B.Third world countries import e-waste to get valuable parts, which is a safe and easy way to
make money.
C.The way uneducated workers deal with old computers does great harm to the environment as well as to their own health.
D.More and more electronic waste is being wasted and thrown away mainly because of
people"s bad habits.
小题4:What is the purpose of writing the passage?
A.To attract more people"s attention to e-waste.
B.To call on people not to throw away e-waste anywhere.
C.To tell people what e-waste is and how to deal with it well.
D.To warn people to break away from the electronic industry.
小题5: The next paragraph probably concerns_______.
A.how to deal with e-waste properly
B.how to protect ourselves from harm by e-waste
C.How to slow down the development in the electronic industry
D.how to make full use of e-waste

举一反三
“The first and best of victories is for a man to conquer himself; to be conquered by himself is, of all things, the most shameful,” says Plato. Self-control is at the root of all the advantages. Let a man give in to his impulses and feelings, and from that moment he gives up his moral freedom.
A single angry word has lost many a friend. When Socrates found in himself any temper or anger, he would check it by speaking low in order to control himself. If you are conscious of being angry, keep your mouth shut so that you can hold back rising anger. Many a person has dropped dead in great anger. Fits of anger bring fits of disease “Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad.” “Keep cool,” says George Herbert, “for fierceness makes error a fault.”
To be angry with a weak man is to prove that you are not strong your self. “Anger,” says Pythagoras, “bring with folly and ends with regret.” You must measure the strength of a man by the power of the feelings he conquers, not by the power of those which conquer him.
Self-control is man’s last greatest victory.  
If a man lacks self-control he seems to lack everything. Without it he can have no patience, no power to govern himself; he can have no self-confidence, for he will always be controlled by his strongest feeling. If he lacks self-control, the very backbone and nerve of character are lacking also.
小题1:What does the reader learn from the first paragraph ?
The greatest victory for a man is to conquer everything except himself.
One’s moral freedom is based on the control of himself.
To control oneself is the most difficult in one’s life.
If a person is too stubborn, he will feel most shameful.
小题2:What is the correct interpretation of “Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad”?
If the gods want to kill you, they make you crazy first.
If you always lose your temper, you will soon be finished.
If you cannot control yourself, you will become crazy.
If you are mad, you will be punished by the gods.
小题3:If a man lacks self-control, he lacks all of the following EXCEPT _________.
the very backbone and nerve of character
the patience and power to control himself
strong feelings
self-confidence
小题4: The author’s main purpose in writing this article is to ___________.
explain that self-control is the key to success
teach people how to control everything in order to make a great success
distinguish all kinds of self-control and suggest ways for keeping it
advise people not to lose temper so as to make and keep more friends

Adults are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced in the meantime. A man who has not dad an opportunity to go swimming for years can   1  swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after several decades and still   2  away. A mother who has not   3  the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or recite the story of Cinderella or Snow White.
One explanation is the law of over learning, which can be started as following:  4  we have learned something, additional learning increases the   5  of time we will remember it.
In childhood, we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and   6  ourselves of poems such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella or Snow White. We not only learn but   7  .
The law of over learning explains why cramming(突击学习) for an examination,  8  it may result in a passing grade, is not a   9  way to learn a school course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little over learning,  10 , is usually a good investment toward the future.

If you walk through the streets of any big city at six or seven in the morning, the chances are that you will see women hurrying along, pushing prams (婴儿推车). You may see more than one woman   1  on the same door and, as it opens, quickly kiss the child,   2  a package of nappies and hurry off down the street to clock on the early shift in an office, leaving their children to a child – minder – a woman who may be doing the job legally or illegally, well or badly. Brain Jackson, director of the Child – minding Researching Unit, and his colleagues have done a great deal of work in finding out   3  it means for a child to spend the first years of life in the care of a child – minder.

The legal age for drinking alcohol in the United States is twenty-one. Underage drinking is a crime but also a common part of college social life. This week in our Foreign Student Series, we look at alcohol rules at American colleges and universities. These rules differ from school to school, as do measures. But many schools have been moving to strengthen their rules.
The United States has more than 17000,000 students in higher education. Each year, 1700 of them die from alcohol-related road crashes and other injuries. 600,000 more are injured while under the influence of alcohol. And almost 700,000 are attacked by another drunken.
One behavior that college officials are trying to prevent is too much drinking. Some researchers have found that students who think binge drinking is normal often think extremely how much other students really drink. A person can die of alcohol poisoning. At Oklahoma University, a nineteen-year-old student died from drinking heavily at a party in 2005
Now alcohol is banned from all sorority houses and university housing. Student organizations can serve alcohol at events but only on Friday and Saturday nights. Other new requirements include an alcohol education program that first-year students take online.
The rules govern behavior on campus (校园) and off. With a first violation(违犯), students pay seventy-five dollars and their parents are told. They must also take an alcohol education class. For a second "strike," they have to pay one hundred fifty dollars. A third strike means that they have to be suspended school for at least one semester.
Since 2005, 363 students have had a first strike. 30 have had a second strike -- and only one hasn’t allowed to go to school for one semester. The president at Oklahoma tells us the aim is not just to punish but to change behavior and the culture at the university.
小题1:The first paragraph mainly tells us that_________.
A.the legal age at the lowest for drinking alcohol is 21
B.many colleges consider drinking alcohol to be a crime
C.drinking alcohol is a necessary and popular campus culture
D.American colleges and universities have their own alcohol rules
小题2:Every year the number of the students who die or are injured because of alcohol in the USA added up to about _______.
A.17000,000B.1,301,700 C.601,700D.1300,000
小题3:If a student has a third strike, he/she should________.
A.have to stop going to school for a timeB.be removed to another school
C.be locked at home for a period D.be forced to leave school forever
小题4:Which of the following statements is supported by the passage ?
A.College students are not allowed to drink alcohol at any time..
B.If students take an alcohol program online, they can drink alcohol .
C.Students having a first strike only receive punishment of fine
D.Students with a second strike pay twice as much as students with a first strike
小题5:We can infer ________from the last two paragraphs.
A.alcohol rules have no effect on college students
B.drinking alcohol remains a serious problem
C.alcohol rules aim to change behavior and the culture at the university.
D.the number of students drinking alcohol is dropping in one way.
