“ Yeah! Auntie is here! “ screamed my husband’s niece and nephew together. “ Let me get the door!” “ No, let me !” Each one’s goal was to get there first and open the door for their Auntie, Me!
I couldn’t get enough of them, of their youthful love of life, and their excitement every time I visited! To be honest, it was partially because of the Surprise Travel Bag that I carried in. It was a tradition that I started when they were young. Each time I went to see them, I would take a large bag filled with toys, coloring books, candy, magic markers and “games”.
The contents(内容) were different but the rules were not. They included: one may get a turn to choose what activity we would do; another may take a turn to go first when we played a game; ..... We shared the treats after the games and cleaned up after we played . Then, sadly, they watched the Surprise Travel Bag go away with their Auntie.
Now my niece and nephew have grown into young adults. They spend most of their visits listening to their iPods, messaging on their phones.... I completely forgot that I had put my two Surprise Travel Bags in the basement(地下室) until my husband found them this weekend.
I held the bags tightly in my arms, remembering our laughter and fun-filled get-togethers. My big decision now is to whom I will pass the Surprise Travel Bags so that the fun that the bags help to create can continue.

举一反三
Starting a new school term is always exciting. It is a chance to see all of your friends again. But most exciting of all, the new term is an opportunity to take up new hobbies. As you know, it is common in Britain for students to take up new hobbies after the Christmas holidays. Promising to begin something new is a common New Year resolution for many school teenagers.
Most schools offer different kinds of hobby classes. Students take them in their free periods or after school. Some classes you have to pay for and others are free of charge. For example, I once took a free Wednesday evening gymnastics class that my school offered. But when I learnt how to play the drum my parents had to pay for the lesson, and they did so, like most parents, without any complaint.
The most popular extra classes at my school were piano lessons and drama club:  Both classes offered exams students could take. Because the extra classes may take up much time of the students, students with many hobbies sometimes felt more stressed than those without any. But they could enjoy their life better than those who didn"t foster (培养) any hobbies at school. For example, they could build up good friendship with the persons who shared the common interest with them. Most important of all, the students with hobbies left school with many extra skills.
Frankly speaking, I haven"t continued any of the hobbies I began at school. But I have never regretted taking them. After all, my best friend today is someone whom I met in my gymnastics class. The reason why we are still keeping in close touch with each other is that we have much in common.

When I asked my daughter which item she would keep: the phone, the car, the cooker, the computer, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said "the phone". Personally, I could do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual. Because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology.
Point 1  The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour  on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about?
Point 2  The mobile phone means that we are never alone. !" The mobile saved my life, "says Crystal Johnstone. She had
an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance(救护车) to her rescue.
Point 3  The mobile removes our secret. It allows marketing manager of Haba Deutsch, Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at any time of day to ask where they are, where they are going, and how their last meeting went.
Point 4  The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramante in Rome says, "We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so near--but we didn"t meet for the first two weeks!"
Point 5  The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously (同时地) on chat lines (at least my daughter does. I wouldn"t know what to talk about). We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts (if you know any) while they"re space-walking. And, with the phone line hooked up to the computer, we can access(进入) the Internet, the biggest library on Earth.
小题1:How do you understand" Point 1—The telephone creates the need to communicate,... "?
A.People don"t communicate without telephone.
B.People communicate because of the creating of the telephone.
C.People communicate more since telephone has been created.
D.People communicate more because of more traffic.
小题2:Which of the following best shows people"s attitude towards mobile phones?
A.Mobile phones help people deal with the emergency.
B.Mobile phones bring convenience as well little secret to people.
C.Mobile phones are so important and should be encouraged.
D.Mobile phones are part of people"s life.
小题3:Which points do you think support the idea that phones improve people"s life?
a. Point 1. b. Point 2. c. Point 3. d. Point 4. e. Point 5.
A.c, dB.a, eC.a, cD.b, e
小题4:It is possible to talk to several complete strangers simultaneously through      .

C.How to Use PhonesD.Advantage of Phones

Former Irish President Mary Robinson was just making a polite conversation with an Ethiopian (埃塞俄比亚的) teenager about her wedding day. The 16­year­old had already been married for a year. “She looked at me with the saddest eyes and said, ‘I had to drop out of school’,” Robinson said in a telephone interview. “That conveyed to me the reality,” said Robinson, the first woman to serve as Ireland"s president and former U.N. high commissioner for human fights. “Her life, as far as she is concerned, had more or less ended.”
Robinson said keeping girls in school was one of the most important things policymakers could do to address the coming challenges of an ever-increasing population, predicted by the United Nations to reach 7 billion soon. “European countries are concerned about aging populations as is Japan, but this is much less of an issue than the huge number of people which we are going to see over the next 40 years when the population goes from 7 billion to 9 billion,” she said. “Almost all of that increase will be in poor developing countries, so that we have a very big challenge.”
Family planning experts worry in particular about the future population explosion in sub­Saharan Africa. In May, the United Nations projected the world population would reach 9.3billion in 2050 and 10.1 billion by 2100. Much of that growth will come from Africa, where the population is growing at 2.3 percent a year—more than double Asia"s 1 percent growth rate. If that rate stays consistent, which is not certain, Africa"s population will reach 3.6 billion by 2100 from the present 1 billion.
Joel Cohen, a professor of population studies at Rockefeller University and Columbia University in New York, said universal secondary education offered a way to reduce population in high birth­rate regions. In addition to providing information about birth control, a secondary education teaches women to reduce their own fertility (生育力), improve the health of their children and allows them to move from a mind­set of having many children, in the hopes that some will survive to improving the quality of each child"s life, Cohen wrote in the journal Nature.
小题1:In the first paragraph, the author introduces his topic by ________.
A.explaining the author"s opinions
B.giving an example
C.describing the poor education system
D.coming straight to the topic
小题2:What can we learn from the passage?
A.Robinson is happy after talking to the Ethiopian girl.
B.Robinson is a successful expert in population studies.
C.Robinson is worried about population growth.
D.Robinson encourages female education.
小题3:What is Joel Cohen"s view about secondary education?
A.It provides basic knowledge of health.
B.It improves the health of children.
C.It makes people pay more attention to education.
D.It can change people"s parenting ideas.
小题4:According to Robinson, what is one of the most important things policymakers can do to prevent the population from increasing rapidly?
A.Keeping girls in school.
B.Letting girls go away from Africa.
C.Letting young girls remain single.
D.Keeping girls in families.

Dogs already guide blind and disabled people and now they are to be trained to help people with dementia.The idea developed by some university students will now be put into practice by Scotland Medical Center.The research is meaningful, for there are 670, 000 people in Britain who have dementia and by 2021 this is expected to rise to one million.
Dementia can make people confuse night and day or forget basic things such as washing or drinking enough water.The dogs would be trained to help to guide them through the day.
Joyce Gray from Scotland Medical Center said, "People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relatively normal life, and dogs help them to maintain routine.M For example, people with memory loss will tend to forget to take medicine, "but if a dog presents them with a bag with pills in it, there"s a greater chance of them taking it."
Ms.Gray also said dogs were perfectly suited to remind their owners to eat."Dogs have an ability to say "it"s my feeding time^, so there would be a note in the cupboard next to the dog"s food reminding the dog"s owner to eat too."
The dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks."It gives a reason for the owner to go out into the community," Ms.Gray said, "We did a test with an elderly person walking down the high street on his own.Then we gave him a dog on a lead and he did the exact same walk.That time people would come up to him, chatting or smiling and making eye contact.We hope we"d see this with people with dementia too."
There is one more advantage of using the pets as companions.Since conversation can be increasingly confusing for people with dementia, dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship.Ms.Gray said, "We have found that people may forget familiar faces but not pets.People light up when they see animals.There is a speechless bond between the dog and its owner.w
小题1:What"s the common symptom of dementia?
A.Going hungry.B.Feeling lonely.
C.Forgetting things.D.Waking up at night.
小题2:According to Ms.Gray, after feeding the pet, the owner may ______.
A.do some washingB.take his medicine
C.have something to eatD.go out to walk the dog
小题3:For people with dementia, pets can ______.
A.give them wordless help
B.contribute to their recovery
C.help them to recognize people"s faces
D.ensure them to gain support from other people
小题4:What"s the best title for the passage?
A.Guide Dogs for the Mind
B.Pets, Faithful Companions
C.Mental Support for the Disabled
