【题目】Microsoft founder Bill Gates has opened up about being a parent, stating that 13 is an appropriate age for a child’s first cell phone.
The 57-year-old, father-of-three, revealed on the Today Show that his children Jennifer and Rory were not allowed phones until their thirteenth birthday and his youngest daughter Phoebe is still waiting for one.
“We’ve chosen in our family that it’s 13 where you get a phone,” the self-made billionaire explained.
He said as a result his children often return home from school complaining:“All the other kids have it. I’m the only one without it, and it’s so embarrassing.”
Asked if he keeps passwords to his son and daughters’ email and Facebook accounts, Mr Gates said that he doesn’t for Jennifer, 16, who he describes as “independent”.
He admitted that monitoring online activity is “a very tricky issue for parents now.”
Despite their vast wealth Mr and Mrs Gates, who live in Lake Medina, just outside Seattle, Washington, have said they want to give their children as normal an upbringing as possible.
It was previously reported that their youngsters have to complete household chores and are given a modest amount of pocket money.
And in 2010 Mr Gates said that he intended to give most of his $ 61 billion fortune away rather than hand it down. “That wouldn’t be good either for my kids or society,” he said.
Also during the “Today” Interview with host Matt Lauer, Mr Gates, who stepped down from Microsoft in 2008 to concentrate on philanthropy (慈善事业) , said that helping others gives him the same excitement as creating software.
“What you really feel is what you’ve achieved. If a piece of software gets out there and lots of people love it-it lets them get their work done in better ways-that’s exciting,” he explained.
【1】Bill Gates will not let his children own a cell phone ________.
A. until they reach the age of 13
B. if they don’t really need one
C. unless they do some housework
D. before they become independent
【2】Which of the following is true about Bill Gates’ children?
A. All his children now have cell phones.
B. Phoebe has her own cell phone.
C. They are not given any pocket money.
D. Jennifer can use the Internet freely.
【3】What does the underlined word “That” refer to in the text?
A. Being a parent as a billionaire.
B. Handing all his money down to his children.
C. Allowing his children to have their phones.
D. Giving away all his money to good causes.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A. How Bill Gates made himself a billionaire.
B. How Bill Gates deals with his money.
C. How Bill Gates managed his business.
D. How Bill Gates brings up his children.

【题目】Internet data shows that younger adults have become the main audience crazy about changing their appearance. Once the world of the female in her fifties, plastic surgery(整形手术) has become the focus of the younger Internet users.
The recent death of Stephanie Kuleba, an 18-year-old high school cheerleader who died as a result of plastic surgery, brought our attention to the fashion of becoming a more “ideal” body among teenagers. In fact, search data confirms this phenomenon. One of the most popular sites visited from the search term “plastic surgery” is the official site of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (www. plastic surgery. org). Over 25% of the visitors, which is up from 19.6% two years ago, fell within the 18 to 24 years old.
Plastic surgery has become an American obsession (痴迷). Checking other countries, such as the UK and Australia, the 18 to 24-year-old’s being interested in plastic surgery is an obvious US phenomenon. Unlike the other groups who visit sites related to diseases and keeping healthy, younger Internet users rush to sites that deal with personal appearance, such as those focused on body-building, weight loss and skin-care, and obviously plastic surgery.
While television on surgery may be driving the interest of a younger audience, one factor appears to be a key in preventing such teens from changing their bodies: the failing U.S. economy. There has been a decline in all plastic surgery topics over the last year. While older age continue to search for information on procedures such as liposuction(抽脂), it’s younger Internet users who in tough economic times are focusing on improving their outer beauty, though at a discount price.
【1】Why does the author mention the death of the 18-year-old cheerleader?
A. To show cheerleaders pay more attention to their appearance.
B. To warn people that plastic surgery is not as safe as it is said to be.
C. To prove the fact that people will pursue beauty at any cost.
D. To draw attention to the issue of young people having plastic surgery.
【2】While young people are surfing on the Internet, they are very interested in____________.
A. how to be physically and mentally healthy.
B. how to make themselves look young.
C. how to prevent and cure diseases.
D. how to have more attractive appearance.
【3】What may affect young people’s decision on whether to have plastic surgery?
A. The safety of the operation
B. The total expense of the surgery.
C. The need for having the operation.
D. The results of the surgery.

Dear Liu Jun,
How are you? I have studied in Detroit for almost one year, when the teachers and students are very friend with me. With their help, I’ve made a great progress in my studies. The climate isn’t what I expect. I have never gone through such a cold winter. However, I have gradually adapted me to it. Detroit, whose industry is famous, belongs to the developed world. All kind of lights on at night, Detroit is extreme beautiful. The people there live at a fast pace. They are always on the go, so they have less time chat with each other.
How is everything with you? I’d like to hear about you soon.
Yours,
Li Hua

【题目】“Regardless of social class, race and age, men say they hate to shop,” says Zukin, City University of New York sociology professor. “Yet when you ask them deeper questions, it turns out that they like to shop. Men generally like to shop for books, music and hardware. But if you ask them about the shopping they do for books or music, they'll say, ‘Well, that's not shopping. That's research.’”
In other words, what men and women call “buying things” and how they approach that task are different.
Women will wander through several 1,000squaremetre stores in search of the perfect party dress. Men will wander through 100 Internet sites in search of the perfect digital camcorder. Women see shopping as a social event. Men see it as a special task or a game to be won.
“Men are frequently shopping to win,” says Ann, a marketing professor at Loyola University of Chicago. “They want to get the best deal. They want to get the best and latest one and if they do that, it makes them happy. When women shop, they're doing it in a way that they want everybody to be very happy,” says Ann. “They're kind of shopping for love.”
“Teenage girls learn to shop from their mums and elder sisters, and they also learn to shop by examining articles in magazines like Seventeen,” Zukin says. “And although men's magazines such as GQ and Esquire have long had shopping articles, it's TV that has the eye of young male shoppers,” say Ann and Zukin.
“Television shows are used by young men in the same way Seventeen or Lucky is used by girls,” says Zukin, “to help make clothing and toiletry choices.”
“Of course, there are men who love to shop and are proud of it,” Ann says. And that is important no matter whether you buy a car or a frying pan. All men love to buy but don't want to get cheated. Ann adds, “There actually are men who are interested, for example, in cooking or shopping or chinaware or things around the home—they become kind of girl magnets. Women like it.”
【1】From the first paragraph we can find that .
A. men are all dishonest B. men like to shop in fact
C. men hate to shop actually D. men are all booklovers
【2】Compared to women, men usually treat shopping .
A. honestly B. frequently
C. seriously D. foolishly
【3】As is shown in this passage, teenage girls go shopping .
A. only with their sisters B. often following magazines
C. only with their mums D. often following TV shows
【4】The underlined word “magnets” in the last paragraph means “ ”.
A. vegetables that make women beautiful
B. magazines that attract young women
C. persons that have a powerful attraction
D. tools that can help housewives much
