    Beware of those who use the truth to deceive. When someone tells you something that is   36   , but leaves out important information that should be     37  , he can create a false impression.
    For example, someone might say, “I just    38    a hundred dollars on the lottery. It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and     39   it in for one hundred dollars!”
    This guy’s a winner,    40  ? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred     41    , and only one was a winner. He’s really a big     42   !
    He didn’t say anything that was    43   , but he deliberately left out some important  44  . That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically     45  , but they are just as not   46    .
    Untrustworthy candidates in     47    campaigns often use this tactic（策略，手段）. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and   48   three million jobs. Then she    49    another term. One of her opponents runs an ad    50  , “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” That’s true.    51   , an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of   52   million jobs.”
    Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s    53   the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the    54   . An ad might boast, “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples.” It     55   to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.
    This kind of deception happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.

    We’re so well educated – but we’re useless students who have lost the ability to do anything practical. The only thing we’ve mastered is consumption(消费).
    Large numbers of students have entered higher education in the past 10 years, but despite being the most educated generation in history, it seems that we’ve grown increasingly ignorant when it comes to basic life skills.
    Looking back on my first couple of weeks of living in student halls, I consider myself lucky to still be alive. Unfamiliar to fresher’s， there are many hidden dangers in the dirty corners of students accommodation.
    I have survived a couple of serious boiling egg incidents and lots of cases of food – poisoning, probably from dirty kitchen counters. Although some of my clothes have fallen victim to ironing experimentation, I think I have now finally acquired all the domestic (居家的) skills I missed out in my modem education.
    In 2006 and 2010, the charming educationist Sir Ken Robinson gave two very amusing talks in which he discussed the importance of creativity in education. Robinson’s main viewpoint is that our current education system dislocates people from their natural talents. I would like to go a step further and propose that besides our talents, the system takes away what used to be passed from generation to generation – a working knowledge of basic life skills.
    Today’s graduates may have earned themselves honor in history, law or economies, but when it comes to simple things like putting up a shelf to hold all their academic books, or fixing a hole in their on – trend clothes, they have to call for help from a professional handyman or tailor.
    Since the invention of the internet, it has never been easier for people to access information, but our highly specialized education has made us more one – sided than ever.
    I suggest that we start with the immediate reintroduction of some of the most vital aspects of “domestic science” education, before the current lack leads to serious accidents in student halls.
    小题1:People call us useless students for the reason that         .
    A．what we’ve learned is beyond consumption
    B．we are educated generation
    C．we’ve entered higher education
    D．our living skills are so poor
    小题2:Which is NOT the incidents the writer had during the first few weeks in student halls?
    A．He was seriously burnt by boiled eggs.
    B．He was accidentally poisoned by food.
    C．He damaged his clothes while ironing.
    D．He was severely beaten by fresher.
    小题3:According to Robinson’s opinion, our current education        .
    A．focuses on the importance if creativity
    B．dislocates people from their natural talents
    C．has equipped students with basic life skills
    D．has followed the convention properly

    As computers become all the more popular in China, Chinese people are increasingly depending on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters. But if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes（笔画）of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more.
    Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school. And computer dependence is more wide-spread among university students. Almost all their homework and essays are typed on a computer.
    All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.
    It's faster and easier to correct if using a computer. And that's why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education. But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly, problems appear.
    "When I'm writing with a pen, I find I often can't remember how to write a character, though I feel I’m familiar with it."
    "I'm not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper."
    Many students don't feel this is something to worry about. Now that it's more convenient and quick to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite?
    Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei , the headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said "Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic(审美的) value. But those characters typed with computer keyboards only have their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And handwriting contains the writer's emotion(情绪). Through one's handwriting, people can get to know one's thinking and personality. Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.”
    To encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory(必修的)and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.
    小题1:Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?
    A．The Importance of Handwriting and Typing.
    B．To Type or To Hand Write
    C．Writing By Computer Will Replace Writing By Hand
    D．Practical and Aesthetic Value of Chinese Characters.
    小题2:The students interviewed prefer to write using a computer mainly because______.
    A．they are usually asked to e-mail their homework and Essays
    B．they can correct the mistakes they make quickly and conveniently
    C．they find it not easy to remember how to write a character
    D．computers have become popular in China.
    小题3:Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE of the advantages of handwriting?
    A．Handwriting contains the writer's emotion.
    B．The writer’s thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting,
    C．Handwriting can impress people well and build up one’s self-confidence
    D．Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value.
    小题4:The underlined expression “taking stock in”(Paragraph 4) probably means_____.
    A．getting bored withB．getting dependent on
    C．becoming crazy aboutD．getting curious about
    小题5:We can draw the conclusion from the passage that_______.
    A．more and more students will give up writing on a computer
    B．writing by hand will give way to typing by computer one day
    C．more and more students will pay attention to handwriting
    D．the typing article better expresses one’s emotion and quality

    Silence is unnatural to man．He begins life with a cry and ends it in stillness．In between he does all he can to make a noise in the world, and he fears silence more than anything else．Even his conversation is an attempt to prevent a fearful silence．If he is introduced to another person, and a number of pauses occur in the conversation, he regards himself as a failure, a worthless person, and is full of envy of the emptiest headed chatterbox（喋喋不休的人）.He knows that ninety-nine percent of human conversation means no more than the buzzing of a fly, but he is anxious to join in the buzz and to prove that he is a man and not a waxwork figure（蜡塑人像）.
    The aim of conversation is not, for the most part, to communicate ideas; it is to keep up the buzzing sound. There are, it must be admitted, different qualities of buzz; there is even a buzz that is as annoying as the continuous noise made by a mosquito （蚊子）.But at a dinner party one would rather be a mosquito than a quiet person. Most buzzing, fortunately, is pleasant to the ear, and some of it is pleasant even to the mind. He would be a foolish man if he waited until he had a wise thought to take part in the buzzing -with his neighbors.
    Those who hate to pick up the weather as a conversational opening seem to me not to know the reason why human beings wish to talk. Very few human beings join in a conversation in the hope of learning anything new. Some of them are content if they are merely allowed to go on making a noise into other people's ears, though they have nothing to tell them except that they have seen two or three new plays or that they had food in a Swiss hotel. At the end of an evening during which they have said nothing meaningful for a long time, they just prove themselves to be successful conservationists.
    小题1:According to the passage, people usually talk to their neighbors_____.
    A．in the hope of learning something new
    B．in the hope of getting on well
    C．about whatever they want to
    D．about whatever they have prepared
    小题2:According to the author, people make conversation to______.
    A．achieve success in life
    B．overcome their fear of silence
    C．exchange ideas
    D．prove their value
    小题3:What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?
    A．To persuade people to stop making noises．
    B．To explain why people keep talking．
    C．To discuss why people like talking about weather．
    D．To encourage people to join in conversations．
    小题4:By "the buzzing of a fly"(Para.1), the author means"_____".
    A．the voice of a chatterbox
    B．meaningless talk sound
    C．a low whispering
    D．the noise of an insect

    Deception (骗术）is something that people do all the time ,and it plays an important role in military (军事的)strategy. Now some researchers are trying to figure out how to get robots to do it, by looking at the behavior of squirrels and birds.
    At Georgia Tech, a team led by Ronald Arkin , a professor at the School of interactive Computing, studied the literature on squirrels hiding their acorns (橡果）.Squirrels will hide their food m a certain place, but when they see other squirrels trying to steal from them, they attempt to fool the thieves by running to a fake location.
    Ronald Arkin and his Ph. D. student Jaeeun Shim used that as a model for robot behavior. They programmed the robot into tricking a “predator (捕食者）” machine by doing what εi squirrel does： showing the enemy a false location for an important resource.
    The team also looked at how other animals in this case，a species of bird called Arabian babbler~ drive off predators. A babbler will make an alarm call when they see a predator and other babblers will join the bird and make more calls. They then surround the predator, all the while flapping (拍打）wings and making noises. The babblers don’t ever actually fight the animal they want to drive off； they just make enough noises and flaps around enough so that it seems that attacking a babbler isn’t worth it
    They found that the deception works when the group reaches a certain size—essentially, when enough birds arrive to convince the enemy that it’s best to back off . Davis modeled that behavior in software using a military scene and found that it worked even if the group didn’t have the firepower to confront the enemy directly.
    The military is interested in this because a robot that can fool an opponent is a valuable tool. It could lead an enemy down a fake trail or make itself look more dangerous than it actually is.
    小题1:Why does the military want to take advantage of squirrels’trick?
    A．It can reduce the use of firepower to confront the enemy.
    B．It can fool the enemy into believing it is more dangerous.
    C．It can lead the enemy in a wrong direction to avoid losing resources.
    D．It can scare the enemy away who wants to destroy the acorns.
    小题2:Which of the following is NOT the way Arabian babblers drive off predators?
    A．One bird makes an alarm call and other birds will join it
    B．They fight the enemy bravely face to face.
    C．They make noises and flaps around the predator.
    D．They force the predator aware that it isn't worthwhile to attack.
    小题3:What is the main idea of the passage?
    A．Animals' behaviors are researched to be applied to the study of military robots.
    B．Robots, fooling tricks are applied to the study of animals’behaviors.
    C．Birds and squirrels are the animals that are good at deception.
    D．Researchers are interested m animals’military-related behaviors.

    An increase in students applying to study economics at university is being attributed to the global economic crisis awakening a public thirst for knowledge about how the financial system works.
    Applications for degree courses beginning this autumn were up by 15% this January, according to UCAS, the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service. A spokesman for the Royal Economic Society said applications to do economics at A-level were also up.
    Professor John Beath, the president of the society, and a leading lecturer at St Andrews University, said his first-year lectures—which are open to students from all departments—were drawing crowds of 400, rather than the usual 250.
    “There are a large number of students who are not economics majors, who would like to learn something about it. One of the things I have done this year is to relate my teaching to contemporary events in a way that one hasn’t traditionally done.” He added.
    University applications rose 7% last year. But there were rises above average in several subjects. Nursing saw a 15% jump, with people’s renewed interest in careers in the public sector, which are seen as more secure in economic crisis.
    A recent study showed almost two thirds of parents believed schools should do more to teach pupils about financial matters, and almost half said their children had asked them what was going on, although a minority of parents felt they did not understand it themselves well enough to explain.
    Zack Hocking, the head of Child Trust Funds, said: “It’s possible that one good thing to arise from the downturn will be a generation that’s financially wiser and better equipped to manage their money through times of economic uncertainty.”
    小题1:Professor John Beath’s lectures are              .
    A．given in a traditional way
    B．open to both students and their parents
    C．connected with the present situation
    D．warmly received by economics
    小题2:Incomes in the public sector are more attractive because of their              .
    A．greater stabilityB．higher pay
    C．fewer applicationsD．better reputation
    小题3:In the opinion of most parents              .
    A．economics should be the focus of school teaching
    B．more students should be admitted to universities
    C．children should solve financial problems themselves
    D．the teaching of financial matters should be strengthened
    小题4:According to Hocking, the global economic crisis might make the youngsters          .
    A．have access to better equipmentB．wiser in money management
    C．confident about their future careers D．get jobs in Child Trust Funds
    小题5:What’s the main idea of the text?
    A．Universities have received more applications.
    B．College students benefit a lot from economic uncertainty.
    C．Economics is attracting an increasing numbers students.
    D．Parents are concerned with children’s subject selection.

    Fun is, in fact, a word heard far more frequently in families today than in the past, when "duty'' and "responsibility" were often the words used.
    Parents today are more youthful in appearance and attitudes. Their clothes and hair-styles are more casual, helping to bridge the divide. Those who are athletically inclined also enjoy Rollerblading, snowboarding, and rock-climbing with their children.
    For the past three years, Kathy and Phil Dalby have spent at least one evening a week at a climbing gym with their three children. "It's great to be able to work together," Mrs Dalby says. "We discuss various climbs and where the hard parts are. Sometimes that leads to other Conversations. We're definitely closer."
    A popular movement of parent effectiveness training in the 1970s has helped to reshape generational roles. The philosophy encourages children to describe their feelings about various situations. As a result, says Robert Billingham, a family-studies professor at Indiana University, "Parents and children began talking to each other in ways they had not before."
    On the plus side, he adds, these conversations made parents realize that children may have important thoughts or feelings that adults need to be aware of.
    But Professor Billingham also sees a downside: Many parents started making decisions based on what their child wanted. "The power shifted to children. Parents said, 'I have to focus on making my child happy', as opposed to 'I have to act as a parent most appropriately'."
    Other changes are occurring as the ranks of working mothers grow.  Time-short parents encourage children's independence, making them more responsible for themselves. "They'll say, 'We trust you to make the right decisions' (whether they're ready to assume the responsibility or not) ,"says Billingham.
    The self-esteem movement of the past quarter-century has also affected the family dynamics (原动力). Some parents worry that if they tell their child no, it will hurt the child's self-esteem.
    小题1:What's the trend in parent-child relationship mentioned in the passage?
    A．Parents are chasing after fashion and ignoring the feelings of their children.
    B．More parents and children are sharing the same enthusiasm for a certain sport.
    C．Parents are taking more responsibility and setting more limits for their children.
    D．The generation gap is narrowing and parents are respecting their children's thoughts more.
    小题2:Which of the following has NOT contributed to the change in the parent-child relationship?
    A．Younger parents.B．Parent effectiveness training.
    C．More working mothers.D．The self-esteem movement.
