    When I first got an e-mail account ten years ago, I received communications only from family, friends, and colleagues. Now it seems that every time I check my e-mail, I have an endless series of advertisements and other correspondence that do not interest me at all. If we want e-mail to continue to be useful, we need specific laws that make spamming(发送垃圾邮件) a crime.

    If lawmakers do not do something soon to prohibit spam, the problem will certainly get much worse. Computer programs allow spammers to send hundreds of millions of e-mails almost instantly. As more and more advertisers turn to spam to sell their products, individual(个人的) e-mail boxes are often flooded with spam e-mails. Would people continue to use e-mail if they had to deal with an annoying amount of spam each time?

    This problem is troubling for individuals and companies as well. Many spam e-mails contain computer viruses that can shut down the entire network of a company. Companies rely on e-mail for their employees to communicate with each other. Spam frequently causes failures in their local communications networks, and their employees are thus unable to communicate effectively. Such a situation results in a loss of productivity and requires companies to repeatedly repair their networks. These computer problems raise production costs of companies, which are, in the end, passes on to the consumer.

    For these reasons, I believe that lawmakers need to legislate (立法) against spam. Spammers should be fined, and perhaps sent to prison if they continue to disturb people. E-mail is a tool which helps people all over the world to communicate conveniently, but spam is destroying this convenience.

    1.According to the text, what is the major cause of the flooding spam?

    A. Companies rely on e-mail for communications.

    B. More people in the world communicate by e-mail.

    C. More advertisers begin to promote sales through spam.

    D. Many computer viruses contain spam e-mail.

    2.According to Paragraph 3, who is the final victim of spam?

    A. The business B. The advertiser

    C. The consumer D. The employee

    3.What is the purpose of the text?

    A. To inform B. To educate

    C. To instruct D. To persuade

    Recently, as the development of the Internet, there is a kind of language calling the Web Language. The other day our class had a discussion about if we should welcome the Web Language.

    Forty percent of the students think it ridiculous. They argue that it does no good to help people communicate, nor is it useful for learning languages. Beside, it'll make Chinese more standard and pure, finally ruining our mother tongue. However, 69% of our class is fond of it. They think it is simple, convenient and helpful in expressing them. What's more, it may make the language more interesting.

    Personally, it’s not good habit to use the Web Language. It may be popular, but you may also make yourself be misunderstood.

    According to a new US study, couples who expect their children to help care for them in old age should hope they have daughters because they are likely to be twice as attentive overall.

    The research by Angelina Grigoryeva, a sociologist at Princeton University, found that, while women provide as much care for their elderly parents as they can manage, men do as little as they can get away with and often leave it to female family members.

    Her analysis of the family networks of 26,000 older Americans concluded that gender(性别) is the most important predictor(预示物) of whether or not people will actively care for elderly parents.

    In a paper being presented at the annual conference of the American Sociological Association in San Francisco, she concludes that simply having a sister makes men statistically likely provide less care.

    Using data from the University of Michigan Health and Retirement Study, a study which has been tracking a cross-section of over-50s for the last decade, she calculated that women provide an average of 12.3 hours a month of care for elderly parents while men offer only 5.6 hours.

    “Sons reduce their relative care-giving efforts when they have a sister, while daughters increase theirs when they have a brother.”

    “This suggests that sons pass on parent care-giving responsibilities to their sisters.”

    In the UK, the 2011 census(人口普查) showed that there are now around 6.5 million people with caring responsibilities, a figure which has risen by a tenth in a decade.

    But many are doing so at the risk of their own health. The census showed that those who provide 50 hours or more of care a week while trying to hold down a full-time job are three times more likely to be struggling with ill health than their working counterparts(相对应的人) who are not carers.

    1.In the text, what’s the most important factor to predict if people will actively care for the elderly?

    A. Career. B. Education.

    C. Gender. D. Family networks.

    2.The US study finds that _______.

    A. sons are twice likely as daughters to care for parents in old age

    B. having a sister makes men less likely to do their fair share

    C. sons and daughters seem to give equal care to their parents

    D. sons are unwilling to leave care-giving responsibilities to female family members

    3.What does the author stress in the last paragraph?

    A. People should give up their jobs to care for the elderly.

    B. Many care providers work longer hours than others.

    C. People shouldn’t pass on caring responsibilities to others.

    D. Many care providers have potential health problems.

    4.The author develops the text by _______.

    A. analyzing various research and data

    B. describing people’s experiences

    C. explaining social networks of careers

    D. comparing different gender behavior
