【题目】阅读理解
CHICAGO- Have you ever worked on your laptop computer with it sitting on your lap, heating up your legs? If so, you might want to rethink that habit from now on. Doing it a lot can lead to “toasted skin syndrome (症状)”, an unusual-looking spotted skin condition caused by long-term heat exposure (暴露), according to medical reports.
In one recent case, a 12-year-old boy from California developed a skin discoloration on his left lap after playing computer games a few hours every day for several months. “He recognized that the laptop got hot on the left side; however, he did not change its position,” Swiss researches reported in an article published Monday in the journal Pediatrics.
Another similar case is a Virginia law student who needed treatment for the spotted darkening on her leg. Dr. Kimberley Salkey, who treated the young woman, learned the student spent about six hours a day working with her computer placed on her lap. As Dr. Salkey later learnt, the temperature under the laptop could reach 51 degrees. That case, from 2007, is one of 10 laptop-related cases reported in medical journals in the past six years.
The condition can also be caused by overuse of heating pads (垫子) and other heat sources that usually aren’t hot enough to cause burns. It’s generally harmless but can also cause such permanent (永久的) skin darkening. In very rare cases, it can cause damage leading to skin cancers, said the Swiss researchers, Drs. Andreas Arnold and Peter Itin from University Hospital Basel. They do not mention any skin cancer cases linked to laptop use, but suggest, to be safe, placing a carrying case under the laptop if you have to hold it on your lap.
Dr. Kimberley Salkey said that under the microscope, the affected skin is similar to skin damaged by long-term sun exposure.
Major producers including Apple and Dell warn against placing laptops on laps or exposed skin for long periods of time because of the risks for burns. In the past, “toasted skin syndrome” has happened to workers whose jobs require being close to a heat source, including bakers and glass blowers, and in people who gathered near hot stoves to stay warm.
Dr. Anthony J. Mancini, chief at Children’s Memorial Hospital in Chicago, said that it’s unlikely that computer use would lead to cancer since it’s so easy to avoid close skin contact (接触) with laptops.
(1)According to the passage, “toasted skin syndrome” can be caused by all the following
EXCEPT ______.
A.being close to a heat source or hot stoves
B.long period of direct contact to hot laptop
C.using one’s laptop with a carrying case
D.overuse of heating pad and other heat sources
(2)The underlined word “discoloration” in the 2nd paragraph refers to ______.
A.spot
B.darkening
C.sunburn
D.heat
(3)It can be learnt from the passage that laptop users ______.
A.should avoid close skin contact with laptops
B.are likely to develop a certain kind of cancer
C.have known much about the harm of laptop heating
D.should go to see the doctor at once
(4)Some computer producers warn against placing laptops on laps for long periods of time
because of ______.
A.the risk for burns
B.the risk of dropping
C.the risk of breaking
D.the protection of back bone
(5)Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? ______.
A.Laptop is Dangerous
B.Skin Damage is Possible
C.A Bad Habit
D.No laps for Warm Laptops

What do you think of different kinds of reference books(参考书)? We did a survey. Here’re some of their answers.

Liu Yang: In some ways, reference books(参考书) are useful. They help us understand textbooks better. For example, if we can’t learn a language point well in English class, a reference book can help us to review the point. So I think it’s better to have such books.

Wang Qian: Reference books have some disadvantages. Some of them show answers to the exercises in textbooks(课本). This isn’t very good. Students will just copy the answers instead of thinking for themselves. Day after day, students won’t listen carefully in class.

Zheng Xia: Sometimes, reference books are useful. Some reference books show something a little more difficult than the textbooks. They challenge us and let us reach a higher level in our studies. So if you want to learn more, reference books are needed.

Liu Wei: I don’t think reference books are very helpful. If we listen to our teachers carefully and solve the problems at school, this is helpful enough. Besides, the school has already gives us a lot of homework. More reference books will only make us sick of studying. And for some subjects like English, the best way is to speak, not just to do exercises.

For your reference books

1

Liu Yang

In some ways, they are useful because they 2 better.

Zheng Xia

Reference books can help us learn more and let us 3 in our studies.

Disadvantages

Wang Qian

Students won’t think or 4 in class because they can copy the answers from the reference books.

Liu Wei

More reference books aren’t very helpful. They will only make us 5.

【题目】 The cultures of the east and the west are really different from each other. This is because the culture systems are two separate systems on the whole.

The origin of the eastern cultures is mainly from two countries: China and India. Both of the two cultures are started by rivers. In China, the mother river is the Yellow River while the Indian one is the Hindu River. These two cultures were developed for several thousand years and formed their own styles. Then in Tang Dynasty of China, the Chinese culture gradually went overseas to Japan, mixed into the Japanese society and shaped the Japanese culture nowadays. Though a bit different from the Chinese one, it belongs to the same system.

When the two mother rivers gave birth to the eastern culture, another famous culture was brought up on the Mesopotamian Plain—the Mesopotamian Civilization. This civilization later on developed into the culture of the Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. And these two are well-known as the base of the European culture. Like the Chinese culture, the European one also crossed waters. When the colonists(殖民者)of England settled down in America, their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean. So the American culture doesn't differ from the European one a lot.

At the same time, the difference of the language system adds to the cultural differences. In the East, most languages belong to the pictographic(象形的)language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system, for example, the one I'm using to write this paper.

Other factors(因素)like human race difference counts as well. But what's, more, due to the far distance and the steep areas between the East and West, the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries. So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no interference from the other.

1Are eastern culture and western culture the same system or different ones on the whole?

________________________________________________________

2How did the Chinese culture and Indian culture start?

________________________________________________________

3Why doesn't the American culture differ from the European one a lot?

________________________________________________________

4How many factors of culture differences are mentioned?

_______________________________________________________

5What is the passage mainly about?

_______________________________________________________
