little more than an hour, aircraft cross the world inside a day, while computers operate at lightning speed.
Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending. Every year motor-cars are produced which go even faster
and each new computer boasts (吹嘘) of saving precious seconds in handling tasks.
All this saves time, but at a price. When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in an
airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag; our bodies feel that they
have been left behind in another time zone. Again, spending too long at computer results in painful wrists
and fingers. Mobile phones also have their dangers, according to some scientists; too much use may
transmit
harmful radiation into our brains, a consequence we do not like to think about.
However, what do we do with the time we have saved? Certainly not relax, or so it seems. We are so
accustomed to constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing, or even just one thing at a time.
Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imagination take
us into another world.
There was a time when some people"s lives were devoted simply to the cultivation of the land or the care
of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern. There is
much that we might envy about a way of life like this. Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks
our ancestors faced: they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from
wood and stone. Modern machinery has freed people from that primitive existence.
B. time is limited
C. the prices are increasingly high
D. our love of speed seems never-ending
B. Imaginary life.
C. Times of inventions.
D. Time for constant activity.
B. Optimistic.
C. Objective.
D. Negative.
B. Modern technology and its influence.
C. Imaginations and inventions.
D. Machinery and human beings.

used steam engine. He had no way of telling people exactly how powerful it was, for at that time there were

horsepower. With this unit he could measure the work his steam engine could do.
He discovered that a horse could lift a 3,300-pound weight 10 feet into the air in one minute. His engine

better life for all people, especially for those who have not been given a fair chance before now. They see much

Food banks are the organizations to help these poor people. Food banks receive the food from companies or supermarkets, and also from donations from the public. In this way, they collect extra food and give out the food to people who are hungry.
The first food bank was St. Mary"s Food Bank. It started in 1967 in Arizona. In 1979, it became a larger organization named America"s Second Harvest Network-made up of over 200 food banks across the USA. Each year, the Network provides food for more than 25 million hungry people in the United States, including more than 9 million children and nearly 3 million old people.
Volunteers are important to food banks. There are many different ways for you to volunteer. You can help out through activities such as:

A new study from the University of Essex in Britain has shown that the more friends you have in school,
the more money you"ll earn later.
The idea that popularity could have a serious impact on one"s earning potential shouldn"t come as too much
of a surprise. The researchers noted that if you want to get ahead in life, social skills and networking are easily
as powerful as talent and hard work.
"If a person has lots of friends, it means that he or she has the ability to get along with others in all kinds
of different situations," said Xu Yanchun, 17, from Nantou High School in Shenzhen, who totally agreed with
the recent finding. "Also, friends always help each other. They not only create wider social circles for you but
lift your mood when you occasionally feel depressed," said Xu.She believed that all this helps you "earn a
higher salary".
Maybe that"s why some people think the younger generations are in the age of Friendalholism (交友狂症).
A woman even complained that the networking website Facebook"s 5,000-friend limit was too low for her
large reserve of social contacts.
But what does a friend mean? Should friends be regarded as a form of currency?
"Call me uncool, but I think of a friend as an actual person with whom I have an actual history and whom
I enjoy actually seeing.It seems, however, that this is no longer the definition (定义) of "friend"," said Meghan
Daum, who works with The Los Angeles Times in the US.
B. the more friends you have in school, the more money you"ll earn in your late life.
C. the less friends you have, the poor lives you will live.
D. friends can make more money for you.
B. You will not feel lonely.
C. You are quite content with your life.
D. You have the ability to get along with others in various situations.
B. Friends play a more important part in our daily life than anything else.
C. Friends are currency.
D. Friends give you success.
B. Graduating from college means that you can make a fortune in the future.
C. Friends mean a form of currency.
D. Friends can make you wider social circle and make you feel better when you feel depressed.
seriously. Beijing University will enroll (招收) students recommended by high school principals this year.
If the students recommended pass a round of interviews by Peking University, they will have an extra 30
extra points added to their national college entrance exam scores if they apply to the university.
Beijing University said the reason behind the move was a desire to give students with comprehensive
(综合的) or special abilities a chance to stand out.
However, a survey, showed 10,046 out of 14,227 people are against the measure. Some experts agree
with the criticism. Liu Daoyu, former president of Wuhan University is one strong opponent(反对者)."There
are so many high schools across the country. But only 39 schools are qualified to recommend students. Is
it fair to the rest of the schools? Besides, most of the 39 schools are located in big cities, which is unfair to
other regions,"
The reform is also unfair to other students, some say. According to Liu, in the competitive exam, one
extra point can put a student ahead of a large numbers of other-never mind 30.
"Principals do not know students well. How can they guarantee the recommendation will be fair?" asked
Wang Xuming, former spokesman of the Ministry of Education.
The Ministry of Education said the move is a good experiment in college admission reforms and the public
should support it even if it is not yet mature (成熟的). It said Beijing University promised a series of
supervision (监督) measures to avoid cheating. For example, the information of schools and principals that
recommend students, and the recommended students will be put online for a week for public supervision.
B. Beijing University"s Reform Causes a Debate
C. People Are Against Beijing University"s Reform
D. The Government Supports Peking University"s Reform
B. it is unfair to the other regions
C. it is unfair to other schools
D. 30 points cause a huge gap among students
B. the reform has started to work in college admissions
C. all the recommended students will be accepted
D. no more than 70% of the people are against the reform
B. will be admitted into Beijing University
C. will have comprehensive and special abilities
D. needn"t accept the public supervision
