    Everywhere you go, you will always find "the white-haired boy", sometimes called "the fair haired boy". He gets special treatment, as if he were above everybody else. You will find him in school, in college, at home, or where you work.

    In school, he is the teacher's pet, her darling who can do nothing wrong. Sometimes she lets him do little jobs for her. He comes to class in the morning, all shiny and clean. He is always raising his hand, ready with an answer to the teacher's questions. He knows all the answers. He "gets into your hair", especially if you are at the bottom of the class and the teacher thinks you are stupid. How you hate the white-haired boy!In college, he walks-more often strides-across the school grounds as if he owned them. Sometimes he wears a colorful football or basketball shirt or sweater, with a bright red, or green or yellow college letter proudly worn on the front of it-as a big B, for Bullfinch University. What broad shoulders, what muscles he has! He makes the girls happy by just smiling at them. He has the mark of success on him.

    At home, "the fair-haired boy" is his mother's choice, her favorite. Sometimes, he is the oldest son-at times, the youngest. If you are in between, you are out of luck.

    On the job, you might meet another of these "white-haired boys"; you cannot escape them. For some strange reason, he is the man who always moves ahead. He gets better and better jobs, with more and more money. You, however, stand still, wondering why, and trying to explain to yourself why you hate him so much. Then, you discover that there are others who share your feelings. One of them asks, "What does he have that I haven't got?" You ask yourself the same question. Finally, there comes a day when you decide to stop hating him. Is it perhaps because he has been made boss and you find yourself working for him?

    1. From the passage we can know that"the white-haired boy" refers to ________.

    A. a child who is Mother's favorite

    B. a student who is always the best

    C. a pet who is hated by everybody

    C. He cuts your hair too short.

    A. you have no choice but to face the fact

    B. you decide to try your best to be better than him

    The US government has started a website, Admongo, to help children think critically about the advertising aimed at them. It claims to provide visitors with an “aducation” through games and other entertainment.
    A cartoon man dressed in old time pilot clothing greets visitors to Admongo. "Call me Haiz", he says upon arrival in a rocket ship that opens up with a crazy world inside it. Spacey dance music plays in the background as Haiz tells visitors that they need to learn about advertising.
    Its inventors say eight to twelve years old is the age kids develop their critical thinking abilities. Kids that age are also a big market for advertisers.
    The idea behind Admongo is to teach children three things: To identify the advertiser. To know what the advertiser is really saying. And to know what the advertisement is trying to get the child to do.
    Children learn these things through a video game. They create their own game character. They can choose different skin colors, hair styles, eye and mouth shapes. Then they begin a trip through ad-land, where there are ads on buses and billboards. The players have to find all the marketing in the neighborhood before they can move on to the next level.
    The Admongo game takes players inside a home, to the advertising studio and everywhere else ads can be found. It is a complete exploration of the world of marketing.
    One such area is food marketing. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) says it is a big business. The FTC estimates that food, drink and fast-food restaurants spent more than one and a half billion dollars on advertising to young people in 2009.
    The FTC says children are important for three reasons. They buy products. They influence parents and caregivers to buy. And they are the future adult buyers of the products.
    A recent study says most advertising aimed at children is for foods of the lowest nutritional value. First Lady Michelle Obama has said she would like to see advertisers marketing healthy foods for children.
    【小题1】What is the best title of the text?

    A．The guide of Admongo B．An aducation website for children
    C．A popular online video gameD．A website aimed at children
    【小题2】Why did the government start the website?
    A．To attract the biggest market of buyers.B．To sell the products of its company.
    C．To help children know about advertising.D．To advertise the video game for children.
    【小题3】What can players do in the website game?
    A．Choose hair styles for their character.B．Travel to a supermarket.
    C．Eat in a fast-food restaurant.D．Play video games during the trip.
    【小题4】Children are important for advertising because they are __________.
    A．important for the society B．the most potential buyers
    C．easily influenced by adsD．easily affected by poor products

    If you hear the sound of running water the next time you call a co-worker on his or her mobile phone, don’t be surprised. Three-fourths of Americans with mobile phones say they use them in the bathroom, a new study shows.

    Approximately(大约) the same number of men and women have used the phone in the bathroom, according to a survey of 1,000 Americans by 11 mark, an integrated marketing agency, although men seem more attached to IT in the toilet: 30 percent of men versus(VS) 20 percent of women agreed with the statement, "I don't go to the bathroom without my mobile phone."

    More than half the surveyed users (63 percent) said they have answered a phone call in the bathroom, and almost half (41 percent) reported initiating a phone call. That's not all, however. What goes on behind the walls of the stalls(小隔间) is anything a mobile phone is capable of. Sixty-seven percent said they have read a text, and 39 percent have surfed the Web. Men work more from the bathroom — 20 percent said they have participated in work-related calls, versus 13 percent of their female colleagues.

    As expected, Gen Y(1981年后出生的一代) respondents(调查对象) are the pacesetters(先导者) in the "mobile everywhere" movement, with 91 percent using their phone in the bathroom. Still, older generations are not far behind. Eighty percent of Gen X(1961-1981) reported using the phone in the bathroom, as did 65 percent of Baby Boomers(1946-1965) and 47 percent of the Silent Generation(1925-1945).

    While online, they are doing more than just surfing; 16 percent of Gen Y report they have made an online purchase while in the bathroom. Users of iPhones are particularly likely to browse and buy in the bathroom – 22 percent have made a purchase, versus 10 percent of Americans with mobile phones overall.

    "The writing is on the stall," said 11 mark principal Nicole Burdette. "This study confirms what we all know: that the last private place is no longer private."

    In the process, high-tech hygiene(卫生) is taking a hit, the survey found. While 92 percent of mobile phone users said they wash their hands after using the bathroom, only 14 percent said they wash their phones.

    1.Which is the best word to replace the underlined word "initiating"?

    A. receiving   B. experiencing        C. ending              D. beginning

    2.According to his words, Nicole Burdette mainly wants to tell us that       .

    A. no wonder mobile phones are used in the bathroom

    B. the bathroom is a private place for people

    C. it makes people have no privacy at all

    D. more men have used the phone in the bathroom

    3.What does the last paragraph of the passage imply?

    A. Using phones in the bathroom has a bad effect on hygiene

    B. Mobile phones should not be allowed to use in the bathroom

    C. Most people care about the hygiene after using the bathroom

    D. Few people wash their phones after using the bathroom

    4.The attitude of the author to the use of phones in the bathroom is ______

    A. supportive                  B. disapproval                  C. subjective          D. objective

    Without plant, people could not live. We eat plants. We breathe the oxygen（氧气）that plants produce. And we need plants for another reason: we need them for their beauty.

    Imagine a world with no plants. Imagine no flowers with their sweet smells, their beautiful colors and their lovely shapes. Imagine when the wind blows, not being able to hear the leaves in the trees or watch the branches sway（摇摆）from side to side.

    Everywhere people need the beauty of plants. That is why we have parks full of trees and flowers. That is why people always try to design houses with room for some grass and a garden.

    Do you talk to your plants? Do you give them love and attention?

    Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird, writers of a book called THE SECRET LIFE OF PLANTS, tell of an experiment in which two seeds were planted in different places. While the plants were growing, one plant was given love and hopeful ideas. The other plant was given only hopeless ideas. After six months, the loved plant was bigger. Under the earth it had more and longer roots; above the earth, it had a thicker stem (茎) and more leaves.

    A．If there are no flowers, there will be no sweet smells.

    B．Without plants, we can’t hear the wind.

    C．We plant trees to watch the branches sway from side to side.

    D．We need plants not only for food and oxygen but also for their beauty.

    2.In the experiment, the plants were________.

    A．of different kinds                       B．talked to in two different ways

    C．both given love and attention              D．grown in the same place

    A．one plant had longer roots than the other and had a thicker stem

    B．one plant had longer roots while the other had a thicker stem

    C．the plants were of the same size

    D．one plant had a thicker stem while the other plant had more leaves

    A．we should talk to plants and give them love

    B．without plants people could not live

    C．we should grow as many plants as possible

    D．plants need plenty of water, sunshine and attention
