Several hundred strangers received “love letters” from a young man on the street. The letter was written and given out by Yang Yang,a student majoring in human resources at Chongqing University of Science and Technology, who hoped to show his disappointment with job hunting.

Yang's story has caught media attention perhaps because it is similar to those of millions of recent graduates seeking jobs and struggling for survival in the country's wealthiest cities. They have diplomas, rather than professional skills, and come to big cities in hopes of better lives, only to find low-paying jobs and poor living conditions.

They are China's “ant tribe (蚁族)”,a term coined by sociologist Lian Si from Peking University in his 2009 book, Ant Tribe.“They're so similar to ants. They share small and narrow living areas. They're intelligent and hard?working, yet nameless and underpaid.”The term also speaks to their helplessness in a world governed by the law of the jungle-only the strongest survive.

A survey in Lian's another book published this year, Ant Tribe Ⅱ, found nearly 30 percent of “ants” are graduates of famous universities-almost three times last year's percentage. Most had degrees in popular majors. In addition, 7.2 percent of “ants” have at least a master's degree compared to 1.6 percent in 2009.

An “ant's” average monthly salary is 1,904 yuan, with about 64 percent of them earning less than 2,000 yuan a month.

Another survey in the 2010 Annual Report on the Development of Chinese Talent found more than 1 million “ants” live in big cities.

“Most ants are from rural families or small towns, and their experiences in universities didn't arm them well enough to fight with competitors in big cities' employment markets.”Professor Zhang Ming at Renmin University of China said.

The “ant tribe's” embarrassing living situations have become a serious social problem, and the government should develop smaller cities to attract more graduates from big cities, Zhang believed.

However, “ants” expect more study and training opportunities in big cities, which keeps them positive despite their situations.

1.Yang's story is introduced in order to ________.

A.analyze graduates' difficulties in finding jobs

B.lead to the topic of the article-“ant tribe”

C.tell readers a story about those big cities

D.show a clever way of dealing with pressure

2.“Ant tribe” members are similar to ants in the following aspects EXCEPT that ________.

A.they live in narrow and small places in groups

B.they work hard but earn little for survival

C.they are in a world judged by the jungle law

D.they are pleased with being nameless and underpaid

3.By writing this article, the author mainly intends to show________.

A.despite better education,“ants” are still struggling

B.despite difficulties,“ants” have a promising future

C.better education, better job opportunities

D.Ant Tribe is a good book to help understand today's China

Peter waved goodbye and closed the door slowly as Jane left home to visit her grandmother. Expecting a whole day to relax, he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favorite TV talk show on his first day off in months. “This will be like a walk in the park,” he’d told his wife, “I’ll look after the kids, and you can go to visit your grandma.”

Things started well, but just after eight o’clock, his three little “good kids”—Adam, Bob, and Christopher—came down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted “breakfast, daddy.” When food had not appeared within thirty seconds, Adam began using his spoon on Christopher’s head as if it were a drum. Christopher started to shout loudly in time to the beat (节拍). Bob chanted “Where’s my toast, where’s my toast” in the background. Peter realized his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds.

Life became worse after breakfast. Adam wore Bob’s underwear on his head. Bob locked himself in the bathroom, while Christopher shouted again because he was going to wet his pants. Nobody could find clean socks, although they were before their very eyes. Someone named “Not Me” had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes. Peter knew the talk show had already started.

By ten o’clock, things were out of control. Christopher was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter. Adam was trying to show off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall with his color pencils. Bob, thankfully, appeared to be reading quietly in the family room, but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands. Peter realized that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible.

At exactly 11:17, Peter called the daycare centre (日托所).“I suddenly have to go into work and my wife’s away. Can I bring the boys over in a few minutes?” The answer was obviously “yes” because Peter was smiling.

1.When his wife left home, Peter expected to .

A. have a relaxing day without pressure

B. enjoy his first day off work in weeks

C. watch TV talk show with his children

D. go out for a walk in the nearby park

2.Which of the following did Bob do?

A. Using his spoon on Christopher’s head.

B. Wearing his underwear on his head

C. Reading quietly in the family room.

D. Eating apple jam from the bottle.

3.Why did Peter ask the daycare centre for help?

A. Because he had to pick up his wife back home.

B. Because he found it hard to kill the time home.

C. Because he wanted to go to his office to work.

D. Because he found it hard to look after his boys.

4.This text is developed .

A. by time B. by giving examples

Nowadays the U.S. students are sleepy in school because they spend too much time texting, playing video games, watching TV and using the media in other ways.

“Heavy media use interferes with sleep by reducing sleep duration, making it harder to fall asleep, and lowering sleep quality,” Meilan Zhang, an assistant professor at the University of Texas at El Paso, wrote in her research review in the journal, Sleep Medicine.

But the relationship between youth’s media use and sleep is not so simple, said Michael Gradisar, who authored both that review and the Sleep Medicine meta-analysis. “Technology use is the new evidence when we are trying to answer ‘Why are school-age children sleeping less?’” said Mr. Gradisar, an associate professor of psychology at Flinders University in Adelaide, Australia.

There may be safe limits to technology use, Mr. Gradisar stated. For instance, recent research results indicate that using a bright screen for an hour before bed or even playing violent video games for less than that will not necessarily interfere with teenagers’ sleep, he wrote.

But longer periods of usage can be harmful to sleep, Mr. Gradisar added. Rather than delaying school start times, he said, the first step should be educating parents about limiting the hours that their children are using technology before bed, and enforcing a consistent bedtime.

Early school start times are also commonly blamed for students’ sleepiness, especially for adolescents. Secondary schools around the nation and the world have been delaying start times, often with positive results.

Mr. Minnich of the TIMSS and PIRLS International Study Center hesitated to put blame to any particular factor. But he did think that cost-saving measures to consolidate(合并)bus routes might help explain U.S. students’ sleepiness.

“For those children who board the bus first, they must get up earlier, may end up sleeping on the way to school, and may end up arriving at school sleepy.” he said.

1.Which of the following may be the good way to help kids sleep better?

A. Parents should be well educated.

B. Technology is forbidden at home.

C. Their playing time must be limited.

D. They are allowed to go to school early.

2.What would be the factors that cause kids sleep troubles according to the text

a. Using the media.

b. Having breakfast.

c. Catching the bus.

d. The school timetable.

e. Doing too much homework.

A. a, d, e B. b, c, d

C. a, c, d D. b, d, e

3.Which of the following may be the best title for the text?

A. Kids benefit a lot from technology.

B. Several sleep troubles appear at school.

C. Some tips can help kids sleep well.

D. Several factors affect kids’ sleep.
