    Apple has entered the textbook market. The tech giant（科技巨头） introduced iBooks textbooks a couple of weeks ago when it announced its iBooks 2 platform. They are digital books in many subjects taking in science, maths, history and geography.
    Apple developed its iPad-based textbooks in conjunction with（连接）major textbook publishers. The company offers a collection of textbooks for high school students.
    Apple says it offers a “new textbook experience” and suggests its iBooks textbooks are “the next chapter in learning”. It sounds like good news for pupils and students. Think of it. No more carrying heavy backpacks full of textbooks. Every textbook you require can be stored on your iPad. No more having to buy expensive textbooks which you will only use for a year or two and then sell or give away.
    Of course there’s a catch. You need to own an iPad and as you know, it is not cheap. You also need to buy digital textbooks, mostly priced each at 数学公式 8.7 billion in the US alone last year. And the rest, as they say, is history. Will Apple revolutionize learning? Will digital books take over completely in education? That remains to be seen

    Nearly everyone is shy in some ways. If shyness is making you uncomfortable, it may be time for a few lessons in self-confidence. You can build your confidence by
    following some suggestions from doctors and psychologists.
    Make a decision not to hold back in conversations. What you have to say is just as important as what other people say. And don’t turn down party invitations just because of your shyness.
    Prepare for yourself for being with others in groups. Make a list of the good qualities you have. Then make a list of ideas, experiences, and skills you would like to share with other people . I think about what you would like to say in advance. Then say it.
    If you start feeling self-conscious in a group, take a deep breath and focus your attention on other people, Remember, you are not alone. Other people are concerned about the impression they are making, too.
    No one ever gets over being shy completely, but most people do learn to live with their shyness. Even entertainers admit that they often feel shy. They work at fighting their shy feelings so that they can face the cameras and the public. Just making the effort to control shyness can have many rewards.

    Hello! My name is Lisa, and I am a lioness. I live on the open grasslands of Africa with my family. Lions living in a group are called a pride.
    My father is strong and powerful. He and his cousin are the leaders of our pride. The other members are my mother, her sisters, and their children.
    The area where a pride lives is big! We roar (咆哮) to tell each other where we are and to warn strangers to stay away.
    Meet my new baby brother. His name is Leon. See the spots on his fur? We lions are born spotted or striped (有条纹的). As we grow older, the spots gradually disappear.
    Lionesses usually spend their entire lives with their birth pride, but Leon will leave when he is about three years old. He’ll run around with a male (雄性的) friend or relative for a few years until they take over a pride of their own.
    But for now, we have lots of fun together. We often play and fight for hours, which can help us practice skills that we will need for hunting. )

    Lions like to sleep for most of the day. We hunt in the cool evening. Female (雌性的) lions hunt more often than male lions. We work together as a team. At the right moment, we attack and kill our prey. Then we share it. Male lions usually eat first. Females eat next. Baby lions are the last to eat. The smallest one gets the least food.

    In-line skating（滚轴溜冰）is a fun sport that everyone can enjoy. Follow these safety tips to keep skating safe and fun.
    Step 1: Gear up!
    Even before you put on your skates, put on all your safety gear（护具）.
    Step 2: Buckle up!
    Strap（绑紧）on your skates. Make sure they fit well and are snugly（紧贴）around your ankles. This helps your ankles stay strong and straight.

    Step 3: Fall down!
    You probably do not usually try to fall. But it is good to practice falling on skates. Fall forward onto your knee pads. Put out your hands and let your wrist guards hit the ground. See? Are you surprised that it doesn’t hurt?
    Practice falling until it is easy to fall forward and get up again. If you are not afraid to fall, you will try new things. Knowing how to fall will help you be a better skater and find your balance. When you can stay balanced, you won’t fall as much.
    Step 4: Stop!
    Make sure you can stop on your skates. The quickest and safest is probably the brake stop. The brake is usually on the back of the right skate.
    The brake stop:
    Roll forward with your skates pointing the same way. Let your right skate roll a little forward. Bend your knees as if you are sitting down. Then press your right heel down hard. This will make your brake pad drag on the ground until you stop.
    The T stop:
    Roll forward with your skates pointing the same way. Then turn your right foot out so the toes are pointing to your right. Drag your right skate. Let the wheels drag on the ground until you come to a stop.
    Another way to stop is to run or jump onto the grass.
    Step 5: Roll around!
    Find a flat, smooth place to practice. Do not skate in streets. Parks and playgrounds are good places to practice. Look for “No skating” signs to make sure you can skate there

    1. 1.

      According to the article, which of these steps are most important for a new skater?

      1. A.
        Learn to fall and stop safely
      2. B.
        Find a class and skate fast
      3. C.
        Relax and have fun
      4. D.
        Buy expensive gear and skates
    2. 2.

      In the step right after “Buckle up!” you should practice how to _____________

      1. A.
        skate fast
      2. B.
        brake
      3. C.
        fall safely
      4. D.
        put on gear
    3. 3.

      To begin a brake stop, you should let your right skate roll forward, bend your knees, and _________

      1. A.
        turn your foot
      2. B.
        press your right heel down
      3. C.
        put your wrists out in front
      4. D.
        tighten your skates
    4. 4.

      How is the passage organized?

      1. A.
        It tells stories about skating
      2. B.
        It gives descriptions of skates
      3. C.
        It uses a question-and-answer form

    “Now I just don’t believe that.” Surely all of us, at some point, have watched a movie and thought: It’s simply badly researched, or, the makers must think we’re fools.
    If movies were completely scientifically accurate, they’d probably be as interesting as a Physics 101 lecture. In real life, there are no explosions in space, gas usually doesn’t explode from a lit cigarette, and Bruce Willis / Jackie Chan / Will Smith would most likely be in a coma(昏迷) after getting kicked in the head.
    Recently, the British newspaper The Daily Telegraph ran a humorous piece on unconvincing tech moments from some top movies. Let’s see what they are all about.
    Telegraph writer Tom Chivers’ first example is from the end-of-the-world movie Independence Day, in which a character comes up with a virus capable of destroying Windows, the computer system the alien(外星人的) spacecraft uses. “It’s a good thing they didn’t have Norton antivirus,” jokes Chivers.
    It’s just one case of a movie that takes a lot of license with its science. Another one Chivers mentions is from Star Wars, where glowing beams of light traveling through space look very impressive. The problem is that in space there are no air particles(颗粒) for the light to reflect off. In reality, they’d not be seen, which wouldn’t look so cool on the big screen.
    Chivers’ second piece of Star Wars nonsense is the sound the fighters make in the movies: “ the bellow(咆哮) of an elephant mixed with a car driving on a wet road”. But sound needs a medium to travel through, like air. In space, there wouldn’t actually be any sound at all.
    Few people would deny that the mind-bending Matrix films make for great viewing, but for Chivers, the science in the movies is a little silly.
    And finally: as Chivers points out, DAN is not replaceable. But this bit of elementary genetics passed the makers of the 2002 Bond film Die another Day by. In the film the villain(坏人) has “gene therapy” to change his appearance and his DNA, which is completely impossible

    1. 1.

      What does the text mainly deal with?

      1. A.
        Plots of some famous movies
      2. B.
        Characters in space movies
      3. C.
        Popularity of space movies
      4. D.
        Mistakes made in some movies
    2. 2.

      From the first two paragraphs we can know that some movie makers ____

      1. A.
        went against general knowledge of science
      2. B.
        didn’t pay attention to the viewers’ real demand
      3. C.
        overestimated viewers’ appreciation of movies
      4. D.
        didn’t try their best to improve the quality of the movies
    3. 3.

      What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

      1. A.
        The newspapers
      2. B.
        Unconvincing tech moments
      3. C.
        Some top movies
      4. D.
        Heroes in the movies
    4. 4.

      We can learn from Paragraph 7 that ____

      1. A.
        most people like Matrix films
      2. B.
        the truth of Matrix films remains in doubt
      3. C.
        few people think Matrix films silly
      4. D.
        Chivers thinks science is unacceptable

    Ever since Stephanie’s 13th birthday we have been receiving comments from other adults expressing their sympathies because our daughter is now a teenager．We’ve heard everything from，“Sure she’s a good kid，but just wait，now that she’s teenager…”to the ever inspiring，“Well，all kids are rotten when they are teenagers，just try to go through it the best way you can．”What’s more upsetting is that many of these insensitive adults feel the need to share their negative predictions well within the hearing of both our daughters．
    I know that teenagers can be moody（闷闷不乐）and difficult at times，but I’m 38 and I can also be difficult and moody．We worry about the future and want today’s kids to know that we care for them and that there are opportunities that wait for them．However, at the very point they set out on that journey toward adulthood we stand there watching them disapprovingly（不赞成），just waiting for them to make mistakes．“just like we knew they would．”We tell them to respect themselves and to say no to drugs，yet we fail to set a positive example by treating them with kindness and consideration，demonstrating（示范）our respect for them．
    I have，at times been guilty of this behavior but am now realizing that the more I see each person as a person，the more I am pleasantly surprised in some way or another. For example，a few weeks ago my husband and I were having dinner at our favorite restaurant and two teenage boys came in and sat down right beside us．I must admit that my first thought was，“perfect，there goes our quiet, peaceful dinner．”I was so wrong! These young men were well behaved．quiet and left a nice tip for the waitress．Once I looked beyond the jeans so loose they were practically falling off and the multi-colored hair, I saw what fine people these kids were．
    Many of the people who，perhaps unknowingly, treat teens with disrespect are unhappy about the fact that pop singers and sports stars are our children’s heroes. I feel that unless we give them something better to go after, we really shouldn’t complain．

    1. 1.

      When their children reach their teens，parents usually expect_________．

      1. A.
        trouble
      2. B.
        sympathy
      3. C.
        congratulations
      4. D.
        inspiring comments
    2. 2.

      In the author’s opinion，the trouble with parents is that________．

      1. A.
        they are too watchful of their teenage children
      2. B.
        they are too concerned about their children’s future
      3. C.
        they fail to treat teenagers with enough kindness and respect
      4. D.
        they speak ill of their children within their hearing
    3. 3.

      When two teenagers came into the restaurant and sat beside the author, her first thought was that__________．

      1. A.
        they were wrong to have chosen this restaurant for dinner
      2. B.
        something interesting was going to happen over dinner
      3. C.
        her quiet dinner with her husband would be ruined
      4. D.
        she and her husband were going to have a pleasant surprise
    4. 4.

      What does the author think of the two teenage boys?

      1. A.
        They may become nice people if they are willing to change their lifestyle．
      2. B.
        They are typical of teenagers who wear ill-fitting clothes and dye their hair．
      3. C.
        They’re fine young men despite their loose jeans and multi-colored hair．
      4. D.
        They will respect you if you respect them．

    A Tchaikovsky concerto（协奏曲）is what made Romel Joseph fall in love with the violin.
    He learned how to play in Haiti, where he was born, but a Fulbright scholarship brought him to the United States, and he finally earned a master’s degree, reports CBS News reporter Katie Couric. Music had changed his life. He wanted to do the same for the children of Haiti.
    Joseph built a school in Port-au-Prince nearly 20 years ago. He was on the third floor when suddenly “It was like boom boom boom and everything just opened,” Joseph said. “And the next thing I knew I was on the ground.”
    Blind since birth, Joseph tried to feel his way out, but was pinned（夹）beneath heavy concrete（混凝土）. He remained trapped for 18 hours. He prays that his new wife, seven months pregnant（怀孕的）, will be found.
    He is now being treated at Miami’s Jackson Memorial Hospital for two injured legs and an arm.
    Joseph wonders if he’ll ever play the violin again. He can feel sensation（知觉）in his fingertips. He said, “If you were to give me a violin and if I didn’t have to fold the fingers, I would be able to play.”
    Joseph’s daughter Victoria spent three terrifying days unsure of her father’s fate. For her, having him home is the sweetest music.
    “Can you imagine your dad not being able to play the violin?” Couric asked.
    “No, I can’t,” Victoria Joseph said. “But I will love him all the same if he can’t.”
    Romel doesn’t know how many of his 300 students died in the quake. As he waits for news about his wife, Romel Joseph is already planning a return to Haiti to rebuild the school and continue teaching there.
    “We can save two children, 20, 200, 300, 500 through education and music, and these children will make a difference,” Romel Joseph said

        after he had listened to a famous piece of music

        fearful
      3. C.
        excited

    For six hours we shot through the landscape of the Karoo desert in South Africa. Just rocks
    and sand and baking sun. Knowing our journey was ending, Daniel and I just wanted to remember all we had seen and done. He used a camera. I used words. I had already finished three notebooks and was into the fourth, a beautiful leather notebook I’d bought in a market in Mozambique.
    Southern Africa was full of stories. And visions. We were almost drunk on sensations. The roaring of the water at Victoria Falls, the impossible silence of the Okavango Delta in Botswana . And then the other things: dogs in the streets, whole families in Soweto living in one room, a kilometre from clean water.
    As we drove towards the setting sun, a quietness fell over us. The road was empty -- we  hadn’t seen another car for hours. And as I drove, something caught my eye, something moving   next to me. I glanced in the mirror of the car; I glanced sideways to the right, and that was when I saw them. Next to us, by the side of the road, thirty, forty wild horses were racing the car, a cloud of dust rising behind them -- brown, muscular horses almost close enough to touch them, to   smell their hot breath. I didn’t know how long they had been there next to us.
    I shouted to Dan: “Look!”, but he was in a deep sleep, his camera lying useless by his feet.   They raced the car for a few seconds, then disappeared far behind us, a memory of heroic forms   in the red landscape. When Daniel woke up an hour later I told him what had happened.
    “Wild horses?” he said. “Why didn’t you wake me up?”
    “I tried. But they were gone after a few seconds.”
    “Are you sure you didn’t dream it?”
    “You were the one who was sleeping!”
    Typical, he said. “The best photos are the ones we never take.”
    We checked into a dusty hotel and slept the sleep of the dead

    Most people say “yes” much more readily than “no”.
    A friend is moving house this weekend and would like some help, and you agree. But, what you really wanted was a couple of quiet days relaxing at home. Or a roommate spends the entire weekends playing video games and wants to borrow your homework for “reference”. But, you’ve just finished it after taking a whole day to work hard.
    Many people say “yes” to these kinds of requests. They tend not to consider their own interests and feelings, and are often angry with themselves afterwards.
    Saying “no” requires courage and considerable practice, in fact, according to psychologists.
    “Everyone wants to be liked,” says Gabriele Steinki, a German psychologist. “Saying ‘no’ risks losing the affection of the person asking the favor or even a job.”
    The result is that many people say “yes” just for keeping the peace. But experts say this is regrettable. Anyone should have the right to say “no”.
    In fact, rejecting a request can even help to strengthen a relationship because it expresses a true feeling.
    But, for people used to agreeing to every request, changing can be a long and uncomfortable learning process.
    Most people believe that “If I say ‘no’, I’ll lose the affection of the person. But the affection is important to me.” This way of thinking can be replaced by this: “If he only likes me because I always do what suits him , then the price of his affection is too high in the long term.”
    Steinki says the key is talking to the other person to find a mutual (相互的) solution. “One needs to present the situation from one’s own point of view, and to suggest how the situation can be dealt with to the advantage of both parties. The other person must have the feeling that his interests are being considered.”[
    When the refusal is not accepted, Steinki advises giving the reasons calmly again until the person gets the message
