strengthen them in unique ways for different age groups, according to a new study.
The rapid spread of Facebook, which has more than 500 million users worldwide, has prompted concems
about its negative effects, but researchers at the University of Texas have reached a different conclusion.
"Our findings suggest that Facebook is not replacing face-to-face interactions between friends, family and
colleagues," said S. Craig Watkins, an associate professor of radio, TV and film who headed the research team.
"In fact, we believe there is sufficient evidence that the social media afford opportunities for new
expressions of friendship, intimacy and community."
The researchers questioned 900 college students and recent graduates about how and with whom they
interact on Facebook.
More than 60 percent of Facebook users said posting status updates was among the most popular activities,
followed by 60 percent who wrote comments on their profile and 49 percent who posted messages and
comments to friends.
The researchers also found that although about the same number of men and women use Facebook, they
do so in different ways.
"There is a noteworthy difference in aims in how to use a tool like Facebook. We found that for women
the content tends to be more affectionate, and they are especially interested in using it for connection," said
Watkins.
"For men, it"s more functional," he added.
Watkins pointed out that, for example, women are more likely to post pictures of social gatherings with
friends, while men are more likely to post pictures of hobbies, or post a political or pop-culture related link.
B. They think it has negative effects on personal ties.
C. They think it makes no difference to personal ties.
D. They think it has both good and bad effects on personal ties.
B. had
C. showed
D. produced
B. write comments on their profile
C. update their personal status
D. post messages and comments to friends

Twelve-year-old Tang Yin is one of the earliest students to test a digital textbook in China. The boy said he
was a little 1 when he received the monochromatic (单色的) flat device in April, 2010, because he thought
it should be a " 2 cool" laptop. But Tang still cherishes (珍爱) his new equipment like "protecting my 3 ,"
said the fifth grader. After all, not every student has the opportunity to 4 the eBook, which is worth 2,000
yuan, he said.
The 50 eBooks, 5 by Taiwan eBook manufacturer Chuanqi Photoelectric Technology in Yangzhou, Jiangsu
Province, enable one class at Yangzhou Sanyuanqiao Elementary School to be the 6 group of students in the
Chinese mainland to replace their regular textbooks with electronic ones. Out of l,000 students, Tang" s class
was the lucky 7 .
"Our school could not 8 the project without the company" s donation," said Yuan Shishan, vice-headmaster
of the primary school 9 the digital book is considered environmentally friendly, because it replaces paper
books and saves money in the long run, the price is much higher than most Chinese 10 can afford. Also, some
technical defects, the 11 of taking notes and monochromatic display, make the eBook fail to meet the
expectations of students and teachers.
"There"s still a(n) 12 way to go before the eBook really plays an important role in education," said the
headmaster.
According to Yuan, the annual average income of a 13 family in Yangzhou is about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan,
and neither the parents nor the school can afford the 2,000 yuan 14 book.
The school doesn"t allow the students to take their eBooks to their homes. The devices are 15 after class,
and are locked in the headmaster"s office.

| The average adult has about five litres of blood living inside of their body, flowing through their vessels (血管), delivering essential elements, and removing harmful wastes. Without blood, the human body would stop working. Blood is the fluid of life, transporting oxygen from the lungs to body tissue and carbon dioxide from body tissue to the lungs. Blood is the fluid of growth, transporting nourishment from digestion and hormones from glands (腺) throughout the body. Blood is the fluid of health, transporting disease fighting substances to the tissue and waste to the kidneys (肾脏). Because it contains living cells, blood is alive. Red blood cells and white blood cells are responsible for nourishing and cleansing the body. Since the cells are alive, they too need nourishment. Vitamins and Minerals keep the blood healthy. The blood cells have a definite life cycle, just as all living organisms do. About 55 percent of blood is plasma (血浆), a straw-coloured clear liquid. The liquid plasma carries the solid cells and the platelets (血小板), which help blood clot. Without blood platelets, you would bleed to death. When the human body loses a little bit of blood through a minor wound, the platelets cause the blood to clot so that the bleeding stops. Because new blood is always being made inside of your bones, the body can replace the lost blood. When the human body loses a lot of blood through a major wound, that blood has to be replaced through a blood transfusion from other people. But everybody"s blood is not the same. There are four different blood types. Plus, your blood has Rh factors, which make it even more unique. Blood received through a transfusion must match your own. Patients who are scheduled to have major surgery make autologous blood donations (donations of their own blood) so that they have a perfect match. | |||
| 1. The blood can do the following except ____. | |||
| A. deliver essential elements for the body B. remove harmful wastes from the body C. absorb oxygen from the air to body tissue D. move carbon dioxide from body tissue to the lungs | |||
| 2. Which of the following is the least related to blood"s role? | |||
| A. Life. B. Growth. C. Health. D. Waste. | |||
| 3. What is the function of the liquid plasma? | |||
| A. It is a straw-coloured clear liquid. B. It carries the solid cells and the platelets. C. It gives the blood cells a definite life cycle. D. It helps the blood clot so that the bleeding stops. | |||

| As the new term starts, freshmen around the world are asking the same question: how can I make the best of four years at college? The New York Times received suggestions recently from PhD students and seniors at some of the top US universities. Here"s their advice. "Many young people today are raised in a protective cocoon (茧)", wrote Tim Novikoff, a PhD student at Comell. "College is a time to explore the world beyond and a chance to learn new things about yourself. Take classes in different subjects. Try lots of different clubs and activities." Remember also to take some time away from campus, suggested Willie Lin, a student at Washington University. "If you spend all of your time in school, then it becomes too easy to let criticism from an unkind professor or a conflict with a roommate take up large proportions." Try to find work assisting a researcher or a professor-this is the advice from Aman Singh Gill, a PhD student at Stony Brook University. And he also said, "With a window into the world of research, you will find yourself thinking more critically, accepting fewer states at face value and perhaps developing a brave sense of what you can accomplish." Many young people cannot imagine even a single day without devices such as computers and cellphones. But try to keep yourself off them, cautioned Christine Smallwood, a PhD student at Columbia University. Start by scheduling a few Internet-free hours each day, with your phone turned off. It"s the only way you"ll be able to read anything serious. "This will also have the benefit of making you harder to reach, and thus more mysterious and fascinating to new friends and acquaintances (熟人)," she suggested. | |||

| It"s not easy being a teenager (13至19岁青少年)-nor is it easy being the parent of a teenager. You can make your child feel angry, hurt, or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself. It is important to give your child the space he needs to grow while gently letting him know that you you"ll still be there for him when he needs you. Expect a lot from your child, just not everything. Except for health and safety problems, such as drug use or careless driving; consider everything else open to discussion. If your child is unwilling to discuss something, don"t insist he tell you what"s on his mind. The more you insist, the more likely that he"ll clam up. Instead, let him attempt to solve (解决) things by himself. At the same time, remind him that you"re always there for him should he seek advice or help. Show respect for your teenager"s privacy (隐私). Never read him his mail or listen in on personal conversions. Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family. If your child talks on the family"s telephone for too long, tell him he can talk for15 minutes, but then he must stay off the phone for at least an equal period of time. This not only frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls, but teaches your teenager moderation (节制). Or if you are open to the idea, allow your teenager his own phone that he pays for with his own pocket money or a part-time job | |||
