16.Most people want to work,but it had become more difficult in today's world to find work for everyone. The economy (经济) of the world needs to grow by 4% each year just to keep the old number of jobs for people. Often this is not possible,and so more people are without work.Some people have no jobs now because new machines can do the work of many people in a shorter time. Also,machines do not ask for more money and longer holidays. In all of the countries of the world machines are taking work from people,not only in factories but also on the farms. One machine can often do the work of forty people. About 75,000 people are moving to the cities a day to look for jobs,but only 60% of them can find jobs.

4.A new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops.
Students are increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed and legib ility(清晰度).But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught.
Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes"mindlessly"by taking down word for word what the professor said.
In the first experiment,students were given either a laptop or pen and paper.They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note-taking skills.Thirty minutes after the talk,they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts.
The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand.However,the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts.Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts.
The researcher's report said,"While more notes are beneficial,if the notes are taken mindlessly,as is more likely the case on a laptop,the benefit disappears."
In another experiment aimed at testing long-term memory,students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture.This time,the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam.
These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding,but that they also lead to superior revision in the future.
 
24.More and more students favor laptops for note-taking because they canA.
A.write more notes                         
B.digest concepts better.
C.get higher scores                          
D.understand lectures better

26.The author of the passage aims toC.
A.examine the importance of long-term memory.
B.stress the benefit of taking notes by hand
C.explain the process of taking notes
D.promote the use of lap tops.

11.It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs.In other words,they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don't.It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs.But this isn't accepted by all people.
   Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living.This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education.In fact,if education is just a way of making a living,people don't need to spend so much time in school.People can get education for a living in a short time.Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone.Even language and mathematics need not be taught in detail(详细地),either.Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.
   Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man.It is not only to teach him to speak,read and write,but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities.After that,it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human.Education is to make a man lead a better life.Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music,read good books,watch plays and most of all take an interest in the world.
   I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education,but certainly not the most important or the main reason.
56.People with little education usuallyD.
A.spend a long time in school         
B.have a good chance to get a job
C.spend the best years to choose jobs     
D.have fewer chances to get a good job

A.make a man lead a better life        
B.teach a man to write and read
C.make people get a way of living    
D.teach people to read good books
58.The underlined word"well-rounded"in the passage means"D"in Chinese.
A.圆满的           
B.崭新的     
C.公平的          
D.全面的
59.It is expected that educated people will be able toB.
A.accept education as a way of living          
B.take an interest in the whole world
C.develop their abilities to make plays          
D.learn subjects like language and math
60.The passage mainly tells us thatA.
A.education should make a man improve          
B.people can get education in a short time
C.people should be able to get good paying jobs   
D.all subjects are so important for a way of living.

8.There are two factors which determine an individual's intelligence.The first is the sort of brain he is born with.Human brains differ considerably,some being more capable than others.But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with,an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn.So the second factor is what happens to the individual-the sort of environment in which he is reared(抚养).If an individual is handicapped environmentally,it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.
The importance of environment in determining an individual's intelligence can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins,Peter and Mark.Being identical,the twins had identical brains at birth,and their growth processes were the same.When the twins were three months old,their parents died,and they were placed in separate foster(寄养) homes.Peter was reared by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor educational opportunities.Mark was reared in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college.He was read to as a child,sent to good schools,and given every opportunity to be stimulated intellectually.This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their teens,when they were given tests to measure their intelligence.Mark's I.Q.was 125,twenty-five points higher than the average and forty points higher than his identical brother.Given equal opportunities,the twins,having identical brains,would have tested at roughly the same level.
65.According to the passage,the average I.Q.isB.
A.85               
B.100             
C.110                     
D.125
66.This passage suggests that individual's I.Q.D.
A.can be predicted at birth                    
B.is inherited from his parents
C.stays the same throughout his life           
D.can be increased by education
67.This passage can best be titledB.
A.Measuring Your Intelligence              
B.Intelligence and Environment
C.The Case of Peter and Mark               
D.The Introduction of the I.Q.Test.
