    Surfing the Internet for fun will make you a better employee, according to an Australian study.
    The University of Melbourne study shows that people who use the Internet for their own reasons at work are about 9 percent more productive than those who do not. Study author Brent Coker said, “Surfing the Internet at times helps increase an employee’s attention.”
    “People need to relax for a bit to get back their attention,” Coker said on the university’s website. “Having a short break, such as a quick surfing of the Internet, helps the mind to rest itself, leading to a higher total Internet attention for a day’s work, and as a result, increases productivity(生产效率),”he said.
    According to the study of 300 workers, 70 percent of people who use the Internet at work surf the Internet for their own reasons during office hours. Among the most popular surfing activities are searching for information about products, reading online news, playing online games and watching videos. “Firms spend a lot of money on software to block their employees from watching video, using social networking sites or shopping online,” said Coker. “That’s not always a good idea.”
    However, Coker said the study looked at people who surfed the Internet in moderation (适度), or were on the Internet for less than 20 percent of their total time in the office. “Those who spend too much time surfing the Internet will have a lower productivity than those without,” he said.
    小题1:What does the University of Melbourne study mainly show?
    A．People who surf the Internet are good employees.
    B．Not everyone surfs the Internet for fun during office hours.
    C．Surfing the Internet for fun during office hours increases productivity.
    D．The Internet is becoming more and more important in people’s life.
    小题2: According to Paragraph 3, Brent Coker would most probably agree that______.
    A．the longer a person’s mind rests ,the better attention he will have
    B．surfing the Internet is the best way to increase productivity
    C．workers should have a long break during office hours
    D．Workers should let their minds rest now and then
    小题3:Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as one of the most popular surfing activities?
    A．Watching videos.B．Reading online news.
    C．Reading online novelsD．Playing online games.
    小题4:The underlined word “block” in Paragrap4 means “_____”.
    A．preventB．cycleC．burstD．breathe
    小题5:What can we infer form the last paragraph?
    A．Spending too much time surfing the Internet reduces productivity.
    B．Those who never surf the Internet have the lowest productivity.
    C．Most people don’t surf the Internet in moderation during office hours.
    D．People should spend as little time as possible surfing the Internet.

    For years my husband, John, and I had dreamed of taking our three kids to Disney World．We'd planned our trip down to the last detail and dollar．But in Georgia, halfway there, our car broke down．
    At a garage, the mechanic promised our Mercury Sable would be repaired by the next week．Meanwhile, John tried to find us a rental car．After many phone calls, John finally found a car．Luckily, our auto club would pick up the tab．We ended up arriving there three hours behind schedule．We tried every ride and met Mickey．
    At the end of the long weekend we called the garage to check on our car．It turned out that the mechanic hadn't even looked at it yet! John got on the phone again．He found it would cost more than $ l, 100 to rent a car to drive home．That plus a plane ticket for him to go pick up our own car and we'd be out over $2,000!
    I wailed（痛哭） and asked John, "What are we going to do?"  He said, "It'll work out．" John encouraged me not to lose heart and he insisted on trying to find a way out．Amazingly, John found a car transport company that had a car we could drive home, paying only for gas! But all the way home I couldn't stop thinking about the money we'd still need for John's trip back to the garage and another long driving home．
    When we got home, the high school student who had fed our cats asked how our trip was．I gave him the rundown, "Things worked out okay except that our car's still stuck in Georgia．" "No problem," he said．"I'm heading to Florida for a spring break with my parents．We'll be glad to stop in Georgia on the way back and pick up your car．"
    We ended up spending only $50 more than we'd budgeted．The next week, our car was back, and I had a new understanding of dealing with trouble．Whatever happens, if you never give up, a good solution will come out at last．

    I have been using the Internet since I was five years old, when my dad first sat me down in front of a computer and connected me the World Wide Web.
    I’ve always felt like a master of the Internet world. AOL Instant Messaging, MSN, Gmail, Facebook, Myspace -- I’ve got it all under control. I thought there was nothing more to it besides checking my e-mail and wasting my time, until I was introduced to electronic commerce(e-commerce): business on the Internet.
    Some online businesses are run from one-room home offices. Others have hundreds of employees (雇员) across the world. Have you ever heard of Amazon.com, Yahoo.com?
    My friends often said they got cheap textbooks off Amazon.com, or had a good deal (交易) on Steve Madden shoes that were on sale at SteveMaden.com. Unfortunately for me, I continued my “e-commerceless” Web-surfing, not knowing about all the deals I was missing out on.
    That is, of course, until my sister finally sold the idea to me.
    “Why are all these packages arriving in the mail for you, Katy?” I asked her one day. Strange envelopes (信封) had been put on our doorstep for weeks now, each one always addressed to my sister; and we all know little sisters should never be getting more mail than their elders!
    “Oh, it’s the things I ordered online!” she answered. I watched speechlessly as she opened them. There was no way our parents were letting her spend that much money- online or off!
    “How much did all of this coat?”
    “Oh, only about $15 in all!” She said excitedly. “Everything on eBay is on sale! It’s a way better than going to the mall.”
    I felt as if there had been a store right in my backyard that I had never walked into! That week, I ordered a used Spanish textbook for my summer course online for 10 percent of the publishing price. A few days later, I bought an iPod protector and a book or two via the wonderful eBay.com.
    小题1:From the first two paragraph we can conclude that the author        
    A．had no experience using computers
    B．had no idea of what e-commerce is
    C．only used the Internet to check e-mail
    D．thought surfing the Internet was a waste of time
    小题2: The writer didn’t find out about e-commerce until       
    A．he stopped web-surfing
    B．he visited a store in his backyard
    C．his sister explained the packages she got by mail
    D．his friends told him about the online deals they made
    小题3:We can infer from the last paragraph that the author       .
    A．never enjoyed shopping that much
    B．loves the big store in her backyard
    C．feels she is a true master of the Internet
    D．has begun to enjoy online shopping
    小题4:What’s the purpose of the article?
    A．To tell the readers how he begins online shopping.
    B．To do business on the Internet.
    C．To make an online shopping ad.
    D．To advise people not to do online shopping

    If you're into sports, you've seen it happen． You've probably even experienced it: basketball players shaking hands after four quarters of knocking each other around, tennis players leaping over the net to shake hands with their opponents （对手）  after a hard-fought match, soccer players exchanging sport shirts after an intense 90 minutes, even boxers touching gloves at the beginning of each round, then hugging each other after beating each other into a pulp for 12 rounds． It seems like competitors in every event, from spelling bees to hockey, behave this way． What's going on?
    It's all part of sportsmanship, a great tradition in sports and competition that means playing clean and handling both victory and defeat with grace, style, and dignity．
    What is sportsmanship? Sportsmanship is defined as: playing fair, following the rules of the game, respecting the judgment of referees and officials, treating opponents with respect．
    Some people define good sportsmanship as the "golden rule" of sports --- in other words, treating the people you play with and against as you'd like to be treated yourself． You demonstrate good sportsmanship when you show respect for yourself, your teammates, and your opponents, for the coaches on both sides, and for the referees, judges, and other officials．
    But sportsmanship isn't just reserved for the people on the field． Cheerleaders and fans also need to be aware of how they behave during competition． Sportsmanship is a style and an attitude; and it can have a positive influence on everyone around you．
    Learning good sportsmanship means finding that the positive attitude learned on the field carries over into other areas of life． At school, for example, you're able to appreciate the contributions made by classmates and know how to work as part of a team to complete a project． You may enjoy more success at work as well, because a big part of learning good sportsmanship is learning to be respectful of others, including customers and co-workers．
    小题1:The author introduces the topic of the passage by___________．
    A．showing an interesting discussion
    B．comparing several sport events
    C．explaining some game rules
    D．giving some specific examples
    小题2: When players play clean, ____________．
    A．they play in fresh airB．they play in a skilled way
    C．they play within the rulesD．they play without hurting each other
    小题3:The purpose of writing this passage is to ____________．
    A．advise readers to take some exerciseB．provide some basic sport knowledge
    C．show the meaning of sportsmanshipD．expect players to compete actively

    A used book or nearly-new kitchen gadget (配件) may not be at the top of every Christmas wish list, but hard economic times coupled with a new green awareness are changing attitudes about gift-giving in France.
    French holiday shoppers are choosing larger numbers for “green” gifting this Christmas, studies show. About 30 percent of French consumers will give second-hand items as gifts to stretch out their tight budgets but also to do their little bit for recycling, according to a study by international consulting firm Deloitte.
    The survey of Christmas consumer behaviors in 18 European countries found the French were more than twice as likely as other Europeans to give second-hand items. Websites promoting re-gifting and green gifting are popular in France, with many reporting a rise in business.
    “Concerns about the ecology and the economy have come together and we are now seeing people who accept the types of gifts that were not appreciated just a short time ago,” said Sebastien Ravut, who runs a website promoting eco-friendly consumerism. His site lists shops in France that offer fair trade products, bio-friendly goods and recycled items. Over the Christmas holidays, the number of visits to the site has doubled from last year, reaching 60,000 a month.
    A study by online survey firm Vivodi for PriceMinister showed eight out of 10 people would be happy to receive a used item as a gift and that younger consumers were more open to the idea.
    But Gilles Goldenberg, author of the Deloitte study, said that environmental concerns are not why customers buy used goods. “The number one concern is getting the lowest possible price,” said Goldenberg. “Eco-friendly products are drawing a lot of interest, but not if that means paying more.”
    Theatre tickets and other low-carbon gifts are fashionable, and eco-friendly websites are also encouraging gift givers to offer time and services instead of stuff. “The order of the day is to spend less time shopping and more time connecting” over the holidays, said Florence de Monclin from the Nicolas Helot foundation for Nature and Humanity.
    小题1:We can judge from the Deloitte study that _________.
    A．over a quarter of the French give second-hand Christmas gifts
    B．the French are less willing to buy eco-friendly gifts than other Europeans
    C．80% of French people are happy to receive second-hand gifts
    D．less than 10% of European consumers are likely to give second-hand gifts
    小题2:According to Goldenberg, the main reason for customers to buy used goods is that _______.
    A．they want to be eco-friendly B．they want to save money
    C．it is encouraged by websites D．it is a new fashion in Europe
    小题3: All the following might be a promoted gift EXCEPT ________.
    A．a theatre ticket
    B．a second-hand book
    C．a nearly-new digital toaster
    D．a box of heavily packaged chocolate
