    MySpace, the social networking website, is different from other websites which only provide stories about other people. MySpace is a place that allows you to broadcast your own stories and personal information to as many people as you like. Started two years ago, it is a big source of information for and about American kids.
    Teenagers and their parents feel very differently about it. Teens are rushing to join the site, not sharing their parents' worries. It signals yet another generation gap in the digital era.（数字时代）
    For teenagers, it is reliable network to keep in touch with their friends. They will often list their surnames, birthdays, after­school jobs, school clubs, hobbies and other personal information.
    “MySpace is an easy way to reach just about everyone. I don't have all the phone numbers of all my acquaintances （熟人）. But if I want to get in touch with one of them, I could just leave them a message on MySpace.” said Abby Van Wassen. She is a sixteen ­year­ old student at Woodland Hills High of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
    Parents on the other hand are seriously concerned about the security problems of MySpace.
    “Every time we hold a parents meeting, the first question is always about MySpace，” said Kent Gates, who travels the country doing Internet safety seminars (研讨会)．The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children has received at least 288 MySpace­ related complaints, according to Mary Beth Buchanan, a lawyer in Pittsburgh.
    “Your profile on MySpace shows all your personal information to anyone on the Web. And MySpace even lists this information by birthplace and age. It's like a free checklist（清单）for troublemakers and it endangers children，” Buchanan said.
    小题1:From the passage we can learn that MySpace ________.
    A．brings about the generation gap
    B．is very careful about people's privacy
    C．encourages you to list your personal information
    D．lists the telephone numbers of your friends
    小题2:Why are some parents against MySpace?
    A．Because MySpace has a bad influence on their children.
    B．Because they don't want to pay so much money for MySpace.
    C．Because it takes up too much of their children's spare time.
    D．Because troublemakers can easily approach their children through the site.
    小题3:The writer's attitude towards MySpace is ________.
    A．negativeB．positiveC．optimisticD．objective

    Searching the Internet may help middle-aged and older adults keep their memories sharp,US researchers said.
    Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles ,studied people doing web searches by recording their brain activity.
    “What we saw was people who had Internet experience used more of their brain during the search,”Dr.Gary Small, a UCLA expert on aging, said,“This suggests that just searching on the Internet may train the brain and that it may keep it active and healthy.”
    “This is the first time anyone has simulated(模拟)an Internet search task while scanning the brain,”Small said. His team studied 24 normal volunteers between the ages of 55 and 76. Half were experienced at searching the Internet and the other half had no web experience. However, the two groups were similar in age, gender and education.
    Both groups were asked to do Internet searches and book reading tasks while their brain activity was monitored.
    “We found that in the book reading task, the visual cortex— the part of the brain that controls reading and language — was activated,”Small said,“In doing the Internet search task, there was much greater activity, but only in the Internet-savvy（了解）group.”
    He said it appears that people who are familiar with the Internet can engage in much deeper level of brain activity. Activities that keep the brain engaged can preserve brain health and thinking ability. Small thinks learning to do Internet searches may be one of those activities.
    小题1:Researchers          when volunteers were doing web searches.
    A．studied the Internet
    B．activated the brain
    C．recorded their memories
    D．monitored the brain activity
    小题2:The two volunteer groups were         .
    A．similar in education
    B．of the same age
    C．good at the computer
    D．book lovers
    小题3:According to the passage, we can learn that         .
    A．reading books keeps the brain more engaged
    B．searching the web keeps the brain more engaged
    C．watching TV keeps the brain more engaged
    D．chatting online keeps the brain more engaged
    小题4:Which of the following is TRUE?
    A．When you read, the whole brain will be activated.
    B．Dr.Gary Small is a UCLA expert on brain health.
    C．Internet searches can preserve brain health and thinking ability
    D．People who read books may have a better memory.

    Television will turn 86 years old on September 7, 2013, and it has never looked better. In its youth, television was a piece of furniture with a tiny, round screen showing unclear pictures of  low­budget programs. In spite of its shortcomings, it became well-received. Between 1950 and 1963, the number of American families with a television jumped from 9% to 92% of the population.
    As the audience got larger, the technology got better. Television sets became more reliable through the 1960s. Both of the reception and the picture improved. The major networks started broadcasting programs in color.
    Even greater improvements were coming according to Sanford Brown, who wrote an article for the Post in 1967. Surprisingly, just about every prediction he made in the article became a reality. For example: All sets in the not­distant future will be color instruments. He also predicted that TV sets would become smaller, simpler, more reliable and less expensive and may forever put the TV repairman out of work. Smaller sets do not, of course, mean smaller screens. TV engineers expect screens to get much bigger. However, today's 3­D TV is even farther away, if it's coming at all.  There is some doubt whether the public would be eager to pay for it, in view of people's cold reception given to 3­D movies.
    But the technology with the greatest potential, according to Brown, was cable television (有线电视), which was still in its early stages then. As he predicted, the future of cable television was highly interactive. It wasn't cable television that gave Americans their electronic connection to the world, however. It was the Internet.  He even foresaw the future office: using picture phones, big­screen televisions for conferences, and computers providing information, at the touch of a button.
    Brown ever said, “The future of television is no longer a question of what we can invent. It's a question of what we want.”
    小题1:What can we infer about television sets in the 1960s?
    A．They were very popular with Americans.
    B．Their appearance remained unchangeable.
    C．They showed black­and­white pictures.
    D．Their pictures were of poor quality.
    小题2:Which of the followings did Sanford Brown fail to predict?
    A．Television's good quality.
    B．The invention of 3­D TV.
    C．The more functions of TV.
    D．The potential of cable TV.
    小题3:From the passage we know _________.
    A．TV will certainly take the place of computers
    B．There won’t be further improvement on TV
    C．TV repairmen will be out of work in the future
    D．3­D movies don’t appeal to people very much
    小题4:What is the text mainly about?
    A．The shortcomings of television.
    B．The advantages of television.
    C．The development of television.
    D．The invention of television.

    Are you stuck in a rut（车辙）and looking for a change? Fed up of seeing hungry, poor faces on your TV screen and want to do something to help? Perhaps you’ve considered volunteering overseas but ruled it out because you thought you were too old, couldn’t commit enough time, or have a family. If so, think again.
    “Over the past five years it has become far safer --- and more professionally acceptable --- to take up a job volunteering overseas,” says David Stitt, managing director of Gap Year for Grown Ups, a company catering for volunteers in their late 20s and upwards. “While 10 years ago intrepid souls took financial and personal risks in volunteering abroad, now several organizations exist to make the experience safe and well-organized.
    Nowadays, universities and business encourage overseas volunteering among students and employees. Entire families can volunteer abroad, and agencies are employing more disabled and retired people. A prosperous “humanitarian tourism” industry has sprung up; thousands of UK citizens will do some form of overseas volunteering this year.
    “Some volunteering jobs are easier to find than others,” explains Kevin Cusack, from a volunteer advice agency. “If you can speak English, it’s not too hard to land a job teaching English, even without a qualification, and those who enjoy working with children should be able to find child care work.”
    Whether your interest is rainforests or women’s rights, you can find a volunteer position to suit you. But be warned: unless you have relevant skills or existing overseas development experience, it’s going to cost. Just how much depends on the location and length of the position, but you should budget for somewhere between £1,500 and £6,000.
    “Having to pay to volunteer may sound paradoxical (矛盾的), but it’s the best way to ensure you get a position that benefits the local community while matching your interests and skills,” explains Cusack.  “You can also discuss the time you want to commit to a project --- many positions can fit into a holiday or even a weekend.”
    小题1:The underlined words “intrepid souls” in Paragraph 2 most probably refers to ___________.
    A．companiesB．volunteersC．fightersD．students
    小题2:In Kevin Cusack’s opinion, paying to volunteer overseas ___________.
    A．must be incredible and unrealistic
    B．can help volunteers learn more about another culture
    C．may benefit both volunteers and the community they work in
    D．needs confidence, courage and determination
    小题3:What can we learn from the text?
    A．Disabled people can also take up a job volunteering overseas.
    B．In the past no one could take up a job volunteering overseas.
    C．“Humanitarian tourism” industry is in its beginning stage.
    D．Taking up a job volunteering overseas needs at least £1,500.
    小题4:Where can we most probably read this article?
    A．In a job guidebook.
    B．In a celebrity biography.
    C．In a guidebook to work overseas.
    D．In a report on volunteer work.
    小题5:What is the writer’s attitude towards volunteer work?
    A．Critical.B．Unfavorable.C．Supportive.D．Disagreeable.

    Passage 1
    As one of China’s most popular and widely known story ,Monkey King, is set to return to screens with 3D effects. It may feature many of the same leading actors from the earliest 1986TV series Journey to the West. According to the producer, which can be got easily in the market? The TV drama, with a total investment of 150 million yuan, will be broadcast on Sichuan TV. Almost 90 million yuan has been put into 3D effects with each 45-mniute episode containing eight minutes of 3D. “The 3D effects not only cost us a lot of money but also a lot of time,” director Kan Weiping said. “We had to put off its broadcasting time, which was set at first this summer.”
    Passage 2
    The Solar Roadway is an intelligent road that provides clean renewable energy using power from the sun, while providing safer driving conditions along with power. American inventors of the Solar Road said that it will power itself, and reduce the country’s carbon marks. Many panels(平板) are fixed on the Solar Road. The top of the Solar Road panels is made of glass and the inventors are working together with top glass researchers to develop super strong glass that would offer vehicles pulling power they need. The Solar Roadway creates and carries clean renewable electricity and, therefore, electric vehicles can be recharged at any rest stop, or at any business that uses solar road panels in their parking lots. Such parking lots will be safer at night with the light provided by LED within the road panels. The inventors say their solar roadway has many applications and advantages from main roads to driveways, parking lots, bike paths and runways.

    Hoffman，40，a former senior vice president of a financial company，had what she describes as “one of those extreme jobs.” “I loved working,” she says. But her career path reached a crossroad when her second child was born，and she left her job in February 2007. Hoffman is one of many people who have left the work force to take a break，but she has a position as a consultant．She has described this type of career detour(绕路) ----- which is more common for women than for men—as “off- ramping．” Typically it occurs when the balancing act of parenting and work becomes too tough．
    A study by the center found that more than 90 percent of women who off-ramp want to on-ramp back into the work force eventually．But making the transition back to work is rarely easy，and it is even harder in this economic climate of layoffs and hiring freezes.
    Considering some of the obstacles faced by on- rampers , a three-day program called “Greater Returns：Restarting Your Career” was held at Columbia University. The goal of the three days was to have them walk away with a big shot of confidence.
    　According to one school of thought, women looking to make a comeback might even have an advantage in the current economy，especially if they are looking for part-time or consultant positions that do not offer benefits. And a majority of on-rampers are women with extensive working experiences that could give them a slight advantage over less-experienced competition．
    　“You absolutely cannot be defensive about why you off-ramped,” Ms Hoffman says, “ defensive” would have put her into a hard situation if the Greater Returns program had had not taught her how to describe the years she spent at home．“I now feel confident talking to an employer and saying，‘ Yes，I have been out of the work force，but here is where I can make significant contributions.’”
    小题1:What is the best title for the passage?
    A．Off ramp：it is common　　　　　　　　
    B．On ramp：it is easy
    C．Off ramp or on ramp：it depends on confidence
    D．Off ramp to on ramp：it can be a hard Journey
    小题2:According to the passage，Greater Returns___________．
    A．is intended to relieve the pressure of the jobless women
    B．has all the jobless women restart their career
    C．will build up the confidence of those in search of jobs
    D．is to last a11 the year around for the jobless women
    小题3:The main reason for the women’s off-ramping is that_________．
    A．they have to suffer the sexual discrimination
    B．they have to parent their children
    C．they reach a crossroad of career
    D．they have great work pressure
    小题4:From what Ms．Hoffman says in the last paragraph，we can conclude________ .
    A．she didn’t get advice from the Greater Returns program
    B．she was defensive about her off-ramping
    C．she didn’t get the job because she lied about her experience
    D．she is off ramp partly due to her straightforward manner
    小题5:Which job is easier to get for a woman off-ramper?
    A．Regular workers.B．Casual workers.
    C．Company managers.D．Bank clerks.

    Sometimes you may have a strong desire to do something strange or terrible. However, chances are that you don’t act on your impulse (冲动), but let it pass instead. You know that to take the action is wrong in some way and that other people will not accept your behavior.
    Perhaps the most interesting thing about the phenomenon of taboo behavior is how it can change over the years, how certain behavior and attitudes once considered taboo can become perfectly acceptable and natural at another point in time. Topics such as death, for example, were once considered so upsetting that it was a taboo to even talk about them. Now with the publication of important books such as On Death and Dying and Learning to Say Goodbye, people have become more aware of the importance of expressing feelings about death and, as a result, are more willing to talk about this taboo subject.
    One of the newest taboos is the topic of fat. Unlike many other taboos, fat is a topic that people talk about constantly. It’s not taboo to talk about fat; it’s taboo to be fat. The “in” look is thin, not fat. In the work world, most companies prefer youthful-looking, slim manager to sell their image as well as their products to the public. The thin look is associated with youth, vigor, and success. The fat person, on the other hand, is thought of as lazy and lacking in energy, self-discipline and self-respect. After all, how can people permit themselves to become fat? In an image-conscious society, thin is ‘‘in”, fat is “out”.
    It’ s not surprising that millions of people have become obsessed (着迷) with staying slim and “in shape”. The pursuit of a youthful physical appearance is not, however, the only reason for people’s obsession with diet and exercise. Recent research has shown the importance of diet and exercise for personal health. As in most technologically developed nations, the life-style of people has changed since last century. Modern machines do all the physical labor. Cars and buses transport us quickly from point to point. As a result of inactivity and disuse, people’s bodies can easily become weak. In an effort to avoid such a fate , millions of people are spending more of their time exercising. Parks are filled with joggers and bicyclists, and many companies are providing special exercise equipment for their employees to use during the work day.    
    小题1:What does the word “taboo’’ refer to in the passage?
    A．Behavior considered unacceptable to the society.
    B．An unfavorable impression left on other people.
    C．A strong desire to do something strange or terrible.
    D．A crime committed on impulse.
    小题2:What does the underlined phrase “in” look probably mean?
    A．The hidden look.B．The fashionable look.
    C．The usual look.D．The inside look.
    小题3:According to the passage, the common belief is that _________.
    A．fat people are full of energyB．fat people prefer to have fat bosses
    C．thin people are more successfulD．thin people are less image-conscious
    小题4:People pay more attention to diet and exercise because of _________.
    A．their need to kill timeB．their love for sports
    C．their belief in hard work D．their concern for health
