a great way to stay connected with friends and family. However, it is important to remember that there are
certain times when you should not be using your phone, especially in class or at a meeting.
If you are in class or at a meeting, you should not be sending your friends text messages or taking phone
calls. Your classmates and teacher or the people around you will not like it and will think of it as a rude
behavior.
In the United States, people would never be allowed to use their mobile phones during class or a meeting.
If you were to send or receive a text message, you would probably be kicked out. It is very disturbing to hear
a lot of tones and ringing when people are listening to a speech or studying. There are many more rules for the
use of mobile phones in America which are to show respect for those around you.
It"s easy to understand why it is so tempting (诱惑人的) to have your phone on during class or a meeting.
It seems so easy just to send a short text message; it"s not hurting anyone, is it? But you may actually be
hurting yourself when you do this because the people you are with in class or at the meeting will think badly
of you and will have a bad impression on you. Sending a text message also takes your attention away from
what"s going on. Even worse, you may miss something important.
B. sending messages
C. the proper use of mobile phones
D. making phone calls
leave school.
B. It doesn"t matter whether you send a text message or take phone calls in class.
C. Using a mobile phone in class has a lot to do with your respect for others around you.
D. Using a mobile phone in class will have a bad effect on your impression and understanding about the
important points.
B. people will hurt themselves if not using mobile phones properly
C. mobile phones are always good to people
D. American people don"t like to use mobile phones

think of that? Fashionable? Some of today"s teenagers are big fans of such a look. But recently this trend has
been at the center of an argument in Italian middle schools. The headmaster of a school in central Italy has
asked students to stop wearing low-rise jeans that expose underwear and parts of the body. His request came
after a class trip,when he saw one boy"s baggy trousers slide to his feet. He pointed out that this way of
dressing is not suitable for school. But in Italy, a nation that takes fashion very seriously, the suggestion caused
a debate among parents, teachers and students. The issue is whether the headmaster"s request will limit students"
freedom-or whether dress in Italian schools is too casual. A parents" group praised the move in favor of good
taste, while others advised schools to stop worrying about fashion and fix up old school buildings. "We do not
want to kick fashion out," the headmaster explained, "but extremes of fashion like this are not right in school."
Many other schools have now requested that their students also stop wearing such trousers. Most students
have simply ignored the request. Ludovica Gaudio, 14, wore extremely low trousers exposing orange underwear
in class. It was cold, so she wore a matching orange scarf. Another 14-year-old said she would probably respect
the request, simply for practical reasons. "I don"t really feel comfortable in those sort of jeans," said Sarah
Lattanzi, "in winter,when dressed like that, it"s quite cold and I am afraid my stomach will ache."

D. low-rise jeans can do harm to youngster"s health
B. show that dress code is necessary even in a country like Italy
C. tell us that a debate started in Italian middle schools over the way students dress in school
D. let us see that Italian students react differently to schools" requests
another alcohol related danger: drunken pedestrians (行人).
Pedestrians struck and killed by cars often are extremely drunk. In fact, they are intoxicated more
frequently, and with higher blood alcohol levels, than drunken drivers who are killed in accidents, various
studies have shown. Forty percent of adult pedestrians involved in fatal crashes have a blood alcohol level of
at least 0.10, which by law in many states signifies intoxication (醉酒), compared to only 25 percent of drivers
in deadly accidents, according to recent federal data.
Some types of pedestrian accidents have been declining nationally, especially those involving children, but
the number of adult pedestrians who are drunk when killed in traffic has remained relatively steady at 2,500 a
year. The total number of pedestrians killed annually in U.S. traffic accidents is at least 7,000, or one of every
seven highway accidents resulting in death.
"We"re dealing here, we think, with a very severe drinking problem that leads to a severe highway safety
problem," said Richard Bloomberg, president of Dunlap and Associates Inc, in Norwalk, Coon.
Bloomberg, whose consulting company found a very high rate of alcohol involvement in a controlled study
of pedestrian accidents in New Orleans, was among several researchers who spoke on the topic at the annual
meeting of the Research council"s Transportation Research Board (TRB) in Washington in January.
Pedestrian accidents have not received enough attention in the past, according to Kay Culprits, who chairs
the board"s committee on pedestrians. Few methods exist to monitor walking habits, she said, and researchers
have been confused about how to prevent disasters.
B. Drunken Drivers.
C. Drunken Pedestrian Accidents.
D. A Severe Highway Safety problem.
B. alcohol
C. a lack of adult keeping eyes on many children involved in accidents
D. former drunken drivers whose licenses are not allowed to use for a time
accidents _____.
B. are 2,500 a year
C. are at least 7,000 in US traffic accidents
D. are 15 percent less than drunken adult walkers with the same level
B. A specialist in traffic safety.
C. A clerk of a consulting company.
D. A government official
which is about three hundred miles away in another city. After work, he puts on his headphones, watches
a movie on his home video recorder, or plays baseball on the computer. On many days, Daniel doesn"t talk
to any other human beings, and he doesn"t see any people except the ones on television. Daniel is imaginary,
but his lifestyle is very possible. The inventions of modern technology seem to be cutting us off from contact
with our fellow human beings.
The world of business is one area in which technology is separating us. Experts say, for example, that
many people will soon be able to work at home. With access to a large central computer, employees such as
office clerks, insurance agents, and accountants could do their jobs at display terminals (终端) in their own
homes. They would never have to actually see the people they"re dealing with. In addition, the way employees
are paid will change. Workers" salaries will be automatically paid into their bank accounts, making paper
checks unnecessary. No workers will stand in line to receive their pay or cash their checks. Personal banking
will change, too. Customers will deal with machines to put in or take out money from their accounts. Many
companies and consumers have already changed the way they sell or buy products. E-commerce, or business
done on the Internet, is becoming more and more popular. This, therefore, makes it possible for people to do
shopping without going out of their homes.
Another area that technology is changing is entertainment. Music, for example, was once a group experience.
People listened to music at concert halls or in small social gatherings. For many people now, however, music
is an individual experience. Walking along the street or sitting in their living-rooms, they wear headphones to
build a wall of music around them. Movie entertainment is changing as well. Movies used to be social events.
Now, fewer people are going out to see a movie. Many more are choosing to wait for a film to appear on
television or are borrowing videotapes to watch at home. Instead of laughing with others, viewers watch
movies in their own living-rooms.
B. watch a movie in his living-room
C. chat with his friends on the net
D. play baseball with his workmates
B. Daniel is not a real person but the lifestyle of his kind does exist.
C. Daniel is only an ordinary person but he has his own way of living.
D. Daniel is a model who makes full use of modern technology in life.
B. Personal banking
C. Music and films
D. International business
B. Modern technology seems to be separating human beings.
C. We may no longer need to work in the office.
D. Modern technology makes it possible for us to work and entertain ourselves at home.
to men. However, the appearance of the full-time "househusband" is changing traditional family.
A survey in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen shows that 22 percent, 73 percent, 34 percent and
32 percent of white-collar male workers, aged between 28 and 33, would be prepared to do the housekeeping
if the conditions were right.
Yang Wenhui, 32 years old, worked at the office of a company prefer to quit (离开) the job. "My job was
dull and steady. I was not promoted (提拔). My wife, in contrast, really likes her job. So, after our baby was
born, I chose to stay at home and take care of the family while my wife works full-time outside the home,"
said Yang.
Sociologists have found the full-time househusband emerges in three main situations.
Firstly, if the wife is ambitious (有雄心的), well-paid and has good job prospects, while her husband is paid
poorly and has no job prospects, it makes economic sense for the woman to become the main income earner
for the household. Secondly, if the wife is tired of household chores and eager to work outside the home, her
husband may forfeit his job. Thirdly, if the husband can do his work at home, he may take this choice as it
allows him more time to take care of the family.
Influenced by traditional ideas, some families with full-time househusbands prefer others not to know about
their arrangement, concerned people would laugh at a husband with "no prospects" or wife who is "too strong".
Zhou Wei said he has become usual to being a full-time househusband although his relatives doubted this
when they gathered during the holidays. "A happy life is the most important thing, not other peoples" opinions,"
added Zhou.
B. it is too boring for him to do it
C. he is too old to go on doing it
D. his wife wanted him to quit it
B. He can earn much less than his wife and will never get promoted.
C. His wife hates housework and is busy with her work outside.
D. His job can be done at home and he would like stay at home.
B. A full-time househusband is much weaker than his wife.
C. A full-time househusband is willing to share his experience with his relatives.
D. A full-time househusband can also enjoy happiness from housework.
B. quit
C. continue
D. escape
family have a meal at table. Worrying about the obesity and breakdown of a family, people change their eating
habits so greatly, according to analysis. They find the number of the family having a meal together increases by
5% from 2002 to 2004, and most people who have meals with their family come from the rich social class.
The new discovery makes doctors and the people struggling against obesity extremely excited. Giving up the
tradition that the whole family have a meal together is exactly one of the reasons for a series of problems
including children"s overweight. If a child has a meal in front of the television or the computer alone, he will
often eat some fast food.
Jason Collins is one of the persons returning to the old tradition. Collins is a manager of a bake (烘面包)
house. He finds after he gets used to having a meal at home with his child, the child becomes much more
obedient (听话的). Dr. Jin is a child psychologist, and she expresses welcome to this result of the study. She
says it can make parents have a very good chance to chat with the child when the whole family have a meal
together.
B. Worrying about some social problems.
C. Worrying about the living expense.
D. Worrying about health and family problems.
B. most rich people have meals with their family
