suddenly becomes too difficult to understand after his clear words on screen; a secretary"s tone seems
more rejecting than I"d imagined it would be. Time itself becomes fluid-hours become minutes, and
alternately seconds stretch into days. Weekends, once a highlight of my week, are now just two ordinary
days.
For the last three years, since I stopped working as a producer for Charlie Rose, I have done much of my work as a tele-commuter. I submit(提交) articles and edit them by E-mail and communicate with
colleagues on Internet mailing lists. My boyfriend lives in England; so much of our relationship is
computer-mediated.
If I desired, I could stay inside for weeks without wanting anything. I can order food, and manage my
money, love and work. In fact, at times I have spent as long as three weeks alone at home, going out only
to get mail and buy newspapers and groceries. I watched most of the blizzard(暴风雪) of "96 on TV.
But after a while, life itself begins to feel unreal. I start to feel as though I"ve merged(融合) with my
machines, taking data in, spitting them back out, just another node(波节) on the Net. Others on line
report the same symptoms. We start to strongly dislike the outside forms of socializing. It"s like attending
an A. A. meeting in a bar with everyone holding a half-sipped drink. We have become the Net opponents" worst nightmare.
What first seemed like a luxury, crawling from bed to computer, not worrying about hair, and clothes
and face, has become an avoidance(逃避),a lack of discipline. And once you start replacing real human
contact with cyber interaction, coming back out of the cave can be quite difficult.
At times, I turn on the television and just leave it to chatter in the background, something that I"d never done previously. The voices of the programs relax me, but then I"m jarred by the commercials. I find
myself sucked in by soap operas, or needing to keep up with the latest news and the weather."Dateline", "Frontline" , "Nightline," CNN, every possible angle of every story over and over and over, even when
they are of no possible use to me. Work moves from foreground to background.
B. unbearable

B. the same country
C. different countries

B. Sometimes TV programs give her comfort and even makes her forget her work.
C. She watches TV a lot in order to keep up with the latest news and the weather.
D. She turns on TV now and then in order to get some valuable information.
B. She likes it because it is very convenient.
C. She dislikes it because TV is more attractive.
D. She likes it because it provides an imaginary world.

Every family with kids has seen its share of arguments,shouting and complaining.It turns
out that all that conflict serves an im
portant purpose in the development of children.Saying
"no",followed by a temper tantrums (发脾气),just may be an unavoidable part of growing
up.And that"s a good thing.These are the first steps toward independence.Even young children
have to challenge their parents sometimes.
Studies have shown the fol
lowing:
Although stressful,conflict is beneficial for children.
Learning to manage conflict is necessary for a child"s development.
Conflicts during the preschool years occur because children desire even more attention
than parents can or should give.
If you understand why conflict occurs,it can minimize (最小化) the conflicts between
you and your children.Conflict is a child"s attempt to develop a sense of self and how he or
she learns to express needs and ideas.Parents develop and drive this independence by
exposing children to the outside world both formally and informally.
Conflict can grow out of a difference of opinion or might just be a way to blow off steam
(发泄怒气)．In rare situations,constant conflict between a parent and child can indicate a
deeper emotional problem.Consult your doctor if this seems to be your situation.
It"s important to offer your child choices,which should be determined by age and
developmental level.The more responsible a child is,the more choices he or she gets in reward.
You can threaten your child with punishment,but often offering a choice will better improve
angry situations.Consequences and rewards should have some meaning to your child.
Often a child"s adverse (敌对的) reaction when he or she hears the word "no" can be
avoided by giving the child an explanation as to
why you have refused their request.

Washington D.C. is wonderful at this time of year.
I would like you to come to my place and meet my people at the end of your journey.
You can"t leave America without visiting New York. My brother"s hobby, as you know,
is taking pictures. He has a big album(相册)of pictures of the United States and of New
York. I"m sending some of them to you. When you look at them you"ll understand why
New York is a city of islands. In fact it lies on three big islands: Manhattan, Staten Island
and Long Island. There are many small islands in the city.
The most expensive part of New York is Manhattan. This island is famous for its
skyscrapers(摩天大楼).Broadway is a famous street in New York. It is known for its
theatres and you can see wonderful shows there.
There are many museums and art galleries(画廊)in New York. Pupils often visit museums
and have their art classes there. School children often visit the Bronx Zoo. It is the largest
of the New York City zoos. It opened in 1899 and since then has always been a favorite
place for animal lovers and children.
In 1789, New York became the first capital of the United States of America but it
remained the capital for only one year. Now, as I"m sure you know, Washington, D.C.
is the capital of the country.

her diary. Now, a teenager with ___1__ problems might go onto the Internet and write
about his problems in a blog. In many ways a diary and a blog are very __2__. So, what
makes blogging different from writing in__3__diary?
The biggest difference is that blogging is much more __4__than a diary. Usually, a teenager
treats his diary like a book full of__5__that she does not want to __6__.
It"s interesting that someone who writes in a blog__7__a diary will probably write nearly
the same information.
I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her__8__. She writes about things
like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test.
__9__I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but__10__in my diary. Then, after I had
finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was__11__that my sister
might read it!
The biggest__12__with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry
with a friend during high school and wrote something__13__about her in my diary, she would
never know!__14__, if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend__15__
read her blog and get a "cry".
There are also__16__to blogging, of course. If I felt sad one day and wrote in my diary:
"Nobody cares about me."__17__would know about it. However, if my sister wrote the same
sentence in her blog, her best friends would__18__respond and tell her how much they__19__
her. Blogs help people__20__in touch with their friends and know what the people around
them are doing.

I will be traveling to Australia as a Student Ambassador with People to People. People
to People arranges for American students to travel all around the world to learn about other
cultures, and to help others understand American culture. The program was founded by
former President Dwight D. Eisenhower to promote peace through understanding.
I had to put in many hours of special work to get to this point. First, a teacher nominated
(推荐) me, and then I attended an informational meeting about the program. The application
process included an interview, and finally, I was accepted.
That"s when the hard work really began. In addition to attending monthly meetings to
prepare for the big trip, my parents encouraged my twin sister Beth (also participating in
the program) and me to raise $ 2,000 each to help pay for the cost. And so the fund-raising
began. We did everything from selling candy bars to selling an old car to decorating people"s
mailboxes during the holiday season. We also babysat, washed cars, held a yard sale, and
washed windows. After months of hard work I had raised a total of $2319.87! Combined,
Beth and I raised over $ 4500.00!
Now I have a problem-packing. Yes, I know it sounds unimportant, but my suitcase
seems to have shrunk (收缩) as I placed my belongings inside. According to airline
regulations (规定), a suitcase can be no larger than 54 inches and weigh no more than 44
pounds. For a person who likes to wear a different outfit every day, packing all my clothes
into such a small space seemed an impossible task. Howev
er, I have lessened my load and
my suitcase which started out weighting overweight now checks in at a mere 36. Apart from
a slightly bloated (臃肿) carry-on bag, my luggage is definitely manageable.
I doubt that I will not get much sleep tonight because I am so excited! I know that what
lies ahead is going to be the trip of lifetime!
B. Several months before the journey.
C. Just hours after reaching the destination.
D. The night when she was accepted.
B. To collect money for traveling.
C. To make American culture known to others.
D. To learn about other cultures.
b. raising money for the trip

B. It could be long-lasting journey, which needs taking all daily necessities.
C. It could be an exciting, unforgettable journey.
