　　Modern inventions have speeded up people's lives amazingly．Motor cars cover a hundred miles in lithe more than an hour, aircraft cross the world inside a day, while computers operate at lightning speed．Indeed, this love of speed seems never ending．Every year motor cars are produced which go even faster and each new computer boasts(吹嘘)of saving precious seconds in handling tasks．

　　All this saves time, but at a price．When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so．We get the uncomfortable feeling known as j et lag; our bodies feel that they have been left behind in another time zone．Again, spending too long at computers results in painful wrists and fingers．Mobile phones also ________ , according to some scientists; too much use may put harmful radiation into our brains, a consequence we do not like to think about．

　　However, what do we do with the time we have saved? Certainly not relax, or so it seems．We are so accustomed to constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing or even just one thing at a time．Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imagination take us into another world．

　　There was a time when some people's lives were devoted simply to the cultivation(耕耘)of the land or the care of cattle．No multi tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern．There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this．Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestors faced：they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to make tools from wood and stone．Modern machinery has freed people from that primitive existence．

　　\[1\] Ninety-five percent of people never succeed because they’re following the wrong group．

　　\[2\] A French scientist once made an experiment with caterpillars(毛虫)looking for food．He led a group of caterpillars onto the edge of a large flowerpot so that the leader of the group found itself nose to tail with the last caterpillar, forming a circle without end or beginning．Out of habit, the ring of the caterpillars circled the flowerpot for seven days and seven nights until they died of starvation．In fact, plenty of food was close at hand, but it was outside the range of the circle, so the caterpillars continued along the wrong path．

　　\[3\]．________ For example, if someone shouts, “Fire! ” many people will follow the crowd blindly and many thousands have died because of it．How many stop to ask themselves： Is this really the best way out of here?

　　\[4\] Most people follow the crowd because it seems easier to follow the mainstream than to deal with change on their own even when that change may represent freedom, achievement and success．A hard thing for them to fully understand is that people in such numbers can be wrong．People thought the earth was flat and later it was believed that the sun, stars and planets travelled around the earth．Both ideas are now considered ridiculous, but at the time they were believed by the majority of followers．

　　\[5\] It's a good idea to step out of the line every once in a while and look around to see if the line is going where they want it to go．Success only favors those who think outside the box．

　　On the 15th of each month, a classroom at Pointers Run Elementary School in Maryland, is packed with volunteers．Students like Campbell Snoddy collect food that ________ by students, parents and teachers from each classroom．Then, the children check to make sure the food isn't too old．After that, they sort it by category and put the cans and boxes into bags to be delivered to low-income senior citizens in the community．

　　"I wanted to teach my daughter about philanthropy (慈善)," says Julie Rosenthal, who started the non-profit program six years ago．"And I wanted to teach other kids in the community, too．"

　　Children make their deliveries around the 15th of the month, when money from monthly Social Security checks begins to run out and tough decisions between food and other needs have to be made．

　　"I am on a fixed income and the food has helped me out considerably," says Linda Testerman, a food receiver．"

　　"It was really fun, it was great to make the senior citizens happy," says Campbell．"It was really cool．"

　　Sofia Merkowitz, another Food on the 15th volunteer, agrees．"I really liked it because it made me feel really good that people were so happy that they got food．"

　　Rosenthal says that is why she has children do more than fill a bag with donated food．

　　"We want the children to have firsthand experience delivering the food to the people so that they can get that feeling of really making a difference in somebody's life, a positive difference．"

　　The program started with one school delivering 30 bags of groceries．It has grown each year, and now involves 10 schools and several churches．Food on the 15th has delivered more than 12,000 bags so far．Rosenthal's goal is to expand Food on the 15th across the country and around the world．

　　［1］We all know eating out can be a lot of fun．There's the experience of having someone wait on your every need, the social aspect of being in a restaurant with friends and, of course, the great benefit of the lack of in-home cleanup．

　　［2］We all also know eating out ________ , and I'm pretty sure college isn't the most financially successful time in a normal person's life．That's why eating at home for a majority of meals really is the only option for many college students．

　　［3］Eating at home doesn't have to be dull, boring, or difficult．It can and should be an energetic, creative experience that transforms the way you look at food．When you cook for yourself, you know exactly how your pasta(意大利面)is going to turn out．You know where the greens in your salad come from．You know the olive oil you’re using really comes from olives that are pressed for the first time．Use eating at home as an opportunity to learn and develop your kitchen skills．I promise you they will remain useful and rewarding for the rest of your life．

　　［4］Another important concept is to keep in mind that when it comes to shopping for food-less quantity, more quality．Buy base ingredients that are fresh, as local as possible and beautiful, and anything you cook will improve greatly．I promise you will be just as satisfied by eating a little bit less of something with a lot more quality．

　　［5］I am not saying eating out is a bad thing．But I insist there are many more places that are not worth your cash．Put a little more effort into cooking for yourself at home and you will gain experience and appreciation for the world of food．

　　[1] With many job postings(公开招聘)now requiring candidates to apply via e-mail, first impressions are made not with a handshake but with words on a computer screen．

　　[2] Just like it's usually a good idea to dress best for an interview, e-mails also should be refined(文雅高尚)．________ , here are some tips：

　　Forget what instant messaging has taught you

　　[3] Recruiters(招聘人员)report that young professionals often send overly casual e-mails, treating an application like an instant message(IM)．When using IM with friends and acquaintances, it's acceptable to use shortened forms of words or phrases and incomplete sentences．In business correspondence, however, stick to the rules your Chinese and English teachers taught you．

　　Don't be cool

　　[4] Your lovely e-mail background of pets playing with each other has got to go．

　　[5] Comic fonts(字体)are unprofessional．HR managers recommend plain fonts such as Times New Roman or Arial, and black text on a white background．They also warn against sending e-mails from strange addresses．Littlebird@ or Chinatiger@ might not get what you hope for．

　　Don't be too creative in the subject line

　　[6] Use plain, simple language like “Talented candidate seeking position as [name of position]” or “Enthusiastic candidate seeking position with [name of company]”．Use one word to describe yourself, but do not go to extremes．

　　[7] The same rules apply to a paper resume and cover letter．Recruiters have only seconds to devote to each cover letter they receive．Many look at just three things： the positions you’ve held, the companies you’ve worked for, and your educational background．Anything else, such as a long story about yourself, can get in the way．

1．What do recruiters pay attention to when they receive an application letter?(no more than 15 words)

2．What does the word “They”(Line 2, Paragraph 5)probably refer to?(no more than 3 words)

3．According to the passage, what should an e-mail application be like?(no more than 8 words)

5．What's the purpose of this passage?(no more than 12 words)

　　Many parents who welcome the idea of turning off the TV and spending more time with the family are still worried that without TV they will constantly be on call as entertainers for their children．They remember thinking up all sorts of things to do when they were kids．But their own kids seem different, less resourceful, somehow．When there's nothing to do, these parents observe regretfully, their kids seem unable to come up with any thing to do besides turning on the TV．

　　One father, for example, says．“When I was a kid, we were always thinking up things to do, projects and games．We certainly never complained in an annoying way to our parents, ‘I have nothing to do!’” He compares this with his own children today： “They're simply lazy．If someone doesn't entertain them, they'll happily sit there watching TV all day．”

　　There is one word for this father's disappointment： unfair．It is as if he were disappointed in them for not reading Greek though they have never studied the language．He deplores his children's lack of inventiveness, as if the ability to play were something innate(天生的)that his children are missing．In fact, while the tendency to play is built into the human species, the actual ability to play, to imagine, to invent, and to elaborate on reality in a playful way and the ability to gain fulfillment from it are skills that have to be learned and developed．

　　Such disappointment, however, is not only unjust, it is also destructive．Sensing their parents' disappointment, children come to believe that they are, indeed, lacking something, and that this makes them less worthy of admiration and respect．Giving children the opportunity to develop new resources, to enlarge their horizons and discover the pleasures of doing things on their own is, on the other hand, a way to help children develop a confident feeling about themselves as capable and interesting people．

2．What do many parents think their children should do without TV? (No more than 10 words)
