　　Millions of people from all over the world use the Internet to communicate, get information and play games．However, using Internet can have both positive and negative effects on young people．

　　As for positive effects, children can use it for searching useful articles and materials．Also they can do their homework on computer instead of writing down．

　　The Internet gives children possibilities to learn about new things in life, and discover how people live all over the world．Children can communicate with their friends and relatives who live far away．In addition, they can make friends and talk with people in foreign countries．

　　However, there is much information that can be dagerous to children and damage their development．When children surf the internet, they can easily be tempted into something that is not proper．When kids start communicate with strangers online, they don’t know that they can be talking to a sick or a harmful person and may meet the personn later．Another thing is that many children play only games rather than learn online．Too much sitting before the computer can be unhealthy and result in stress injuries, obesity and social isolation．

　　As I walked across the campus of Pittsburgh's Carnegie Mellon University, I came upon a table filled with young people chatting and enjoying the fine weather．　　1　　 Trilogy, an Austin, Texas-based software company, had a reputation for recruiting(招聘)our top students．I walked over to the table．“Are you guys here to recruit?” I asked．“No,” they replied firmly．“We're not recruiters．We're just hanging out with friends．” How interesting, I thought．They've come to campus on a workday, all the way from Austin, just to hang out with friends．

　　I noticed one member of the group sitting on the grass, having multicolored hair, full-body tattoos(纹身), and multiple holes in his ears．　　2　　 But as I would later learn, he was a gifted student who had inked the highest-paying deal in the history of their departments．What a change from my own college days, when students would put on their dressy clothes and carefully hide any counterculture tendencies to prove that they could fit in with the company．　　3　　 In fact, the guy I met on the campus just signed on with Trilogy, right at that table on the grass, with the recruiters who do not “recruit．”

　　　　4　　 I once asked one young man why he was going to a smaller city in Texas．The company is excellent, he told me．There are also terrific people and the work is challenging．Though he had several good job offers from Pittsburgh's high-tech firms and knew the city well, he said he felt the city lacked the lifestyle options, cultural diversity, and tolerant attitude that would make it attractive to him．

　　　　5　　 He is a member of what I call the creative class：a fast-growing, highly educated, and well-paid part of the workforce．They do not consciously think of themselves as a class．Yet they share a common attitude that values creativity, individuality, difference, and advantage．

A．An obvious lazy guy avoiding work, I thought．

B．As he summed it up," How would I fit in here?"

C．Some of them are the top students in the university．

D．Today, apparently, it's the company trying to fit in with the students．

E．While I was interested in the change, something even bigger struck me．

F．Several had identical blue T-shirts with "Trilogy @ CMU" written across them．

G．This young man represents a lively new force in the economy and life of America．

　　What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, red? 　　1　　．Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead．You tend to be pessimist．At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings．　　2　　．If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly．

　　　　3　　．A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day．　　4　　．A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides(自杀)than any other bridge in the area－until it was repainted green．The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply．Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue．

　　　　5　　．It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey．

A．On the other hand, black is depressing．

B．They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favourite colour as we grow up－we are born with our preference．

C．The rooms are painted in different colours as you like．

D．If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement．

E．Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active．

F．Life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colours．

G．Colours do influence our moods－there is no doubt about it

1．_________

Auctions are public sales of goods, conducted by an officially approved auctioneer．He asks the crowd assembled in the auction-room to make offers, or “bids”, for the various items on sale．He encourages buyers to bid higher figures, and finally names the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods．This is called “knocking down” the goods, for the bidding ends when the auctioneer strikes a small hammer on a table at which he stands．

2．_________

The ancient Roman probably invented sales by auction, and the English word comes from the Latin auction, meaning “increasing”．The Romans usually sold in this way the goods taken in war．In England in the eighteenth centuries, goods were often sold “by the candle”：a short candle was lit by the auctioneer, and bids could be made while it stayed alight．

3．_________

Practically all goods whose qualities vary are sold by auction．Among these are coffee, skins, wool, tea, furs, silk and wines．Auction sales are also usual for land and property, furniture, pictures, rare books, old china and similar works of art．

4．_________

An auction is usually advertised beforehand with full particulars of the articles to be sold and where and when they can be viewed by potential buyers．If the advertisement cannot give full details, catalogues are printed, and each group of goods to be sold together, called a “lot”, is usually given a number．The auctioneer need not begin with Lot 1 and continue in the order of numbers：he may wait until he notices the fact that certain buyers are in the room and then produce the lots they are likely to be interested in．

5．_________

The auctioneer’s services are paid for in the form of a percentage of the price the goods are sold for．The auctioneer therefore has a direct interest in pushing up the bidding as high as possible．He will not waste time by starting the bidding too low．He will also play on the opponents among his buyers and succeed in getting a high price by encouraging two business competitors to bid against each other．

　　It’s a classic image－a child hiding her head in her mother’s skirts when she meets a stranger, or a student becoming speechless with a red face when the teacher asks his name．The person must be shy．You may be shy yourself．But shyness isn’t that common, right? Wrong．

　　　　1　　 It’s just that most people are shy privately．They appear confident on the surface, and in social situations they seem well adjusted．Only 15 to 20 percent of us fit the stereotype of the shy person－someone who is obviously uncomfortable with other people．

　　　　2　　 “It’s a feeling of self-consciousness,” says Rita Clark, a psychologist．“Shy people feel nervous and ill at ease．They may tremble, feel their hearts pounding, and have butterflies in the stomach．They worry about making a bad impression on people．” Shyness doesn’t necessarily show on the surface．In fact, people sometimes think that shy people are cold and uninterested in other people when really they just afraid to meet them．

　　You may be surprised to know who is actually very shy．One well-known talk-show host, whose show is watched by millions of viewers, has to plan performance down to the last detail－in order to appear easy-going and confident! 　　3　　“Other ‘privately shy’ people include politicians, teachers, and entertainers,” says Rita．“These people act outgoing when they’re doing their jobs, but they’re very unconfident socially．You’d be amazed how many public figures fit into this type．”

　　Where does shyness come from? Research shows that some people are born shy．About 20 percent of babies show a strong feeling of unease when they see strangers or find themselves in unfamiliar situations．Some scientists feel that such shyness is born．“Shy parents are more likely to have shy children than outgoing parents,” Rita says．“　　4　　 We know that Japanese students are much shyer than Israeli students．”

　　If 15 to 20 percent of shyness is innate, how do other people become shy? Children may become shy when they enter school or meet new challenges．Adolescents may suffer from an identity crisis and become shy．Adults can become shy when confronted by problems like divorce or job loss．Whatever the reasons, shy people suffer from teasing and well-meaning comments like, “Has the cat got your tongue?” They are often lonely and unhappy in social situations．

　　But scientists say there is hope for shyness．Whether you are born shy or made shy, with patience and practice, you will be able to quiet the butterflies in your stomach．

5．What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean?

_____________________

Direction：match the headings with the paragraphs(There are more headings than paragraphs, so you will not use all of them．)．Put your answers down on the answer sheet．

_________1．People with intellectual disability form one of the largest single disability groups in a community．Intellectual disability refers to a general slowness to learn and function within society, and the identification of intellectual disability is usually based on an assessment of a person's performance in a variety of tests．An individual's level of performance, as assessed, can change with time and circumstances．With skilled training and opportunity for development, people with intellectual disability have much greater potential for acquiring skills and for participation in community life than previously had been thought possible．

_________2．In many western societies, five categories of intellectual disability have traditionally been used in order to indicate the perceived degree of difficulty an individual has with learning．All five may occur in either children, adolescent or adult, and show as mild, moderate, severe, profound or multiple intellectual disability．

_________3．For the majority of intellectual disabilities, there is no identifiable cause but there are some causes that are well documented．They include：brain damage at birth due to lack of oxygen－prolonged labor during childbirth; brain damage before birth due to factors such as rubella, drug or diet-related problems; damage after birth due to illnesses such as encephalitis or accident; hereditary defects in the genes; abnormal chromosome count resulting in, for example, Down Syndrome．

_________4．Like everyone else, people with an intellectual disability need a rewarding job, a satisfying place to live and a good social life．But they may need extra support to achieve these things．Good support services are based on the principle of normalization－which means enabling people to be part of the community like everyone else．

_________5．With the introduction of the intellectually disabled into communities, there is a need to promote awareness of communication．Although many people may have little experience in talking with an intellectually disabled person, there are common guidelines that can simplify the interaction．Firstly, it is useful to remember that people with disabilities have feelings．Speaking in the same friendly manner as you would to anyone else is also recommended．Being prepared to wait a little longer for replies during a conversation with an intellectually disabled person would undoubtedly benefit the exchange．
