Internet has become part of young people’s life. You can do lots of things on line such as chatting, sending messages and emails, getting useful knowledge and information, buying things without going to the shops, visiting cool websites, and so on. But it’s also easy to be cheated online. Here’s a story about a girl named Mary.
Mary is an 18-year-old girl who lives in New York. The people in Mary’s family are so busy that they hardly have time to be with her. In fact, Mary is quite lonely. So she spends a lot of time on QQ.
Last year Mary made a very special friend on QQ. His name was David and he lived in San Francisco. David was full of stories and jokes. He and Mary had a common interest in rock music and modern dance. So it always took them hours to talk happily on QQ and sometimes they even forgot the time. David sent Mary a picture of “himself”: he was a tall, good-looking young man with a big, happy smile. As time went by, they became good friends and often sent cards and small things to each other.
Before David’s birthday, Mary wanted to give him a surprise. She flew to San Francisco. But when Mary knocked on David’s door, she found that the special friend was a twelve-year-old boy named Jim!
So when you make friends on the Internet, please be careful. Here are some rules to make sure you are safe and have fun on the Internet.
u    Don’t give your password to anyone else, and never let out the following information: your real name, home address, age, school, phone number or other personal information.
u    Never agree to meet someone you met on the Internet without your parents’ permission. Never meet anyone you met online alone.
u    Always remember that people online may not be who they say they are. Treat everyone online as if they were strangers.
u    Remember — not everything you read on the Internet is true.

One of every four children in New Mexico and Texas lives in households that struggle to provide enough food at some point during the year, a report says. The report is the first to give a state-by-state look at child hunger.

   “It is a real eye-opener to see that so many states have such high rates of child food insecurity (不安全) and hunger,” says author John Cook, an expert on child hunger. He says lack of healthful food can damage a child’s physical and mental development.

    Nationwide, the report finds that 13 million children, or 18%, were hungry or at risk of hunger. New Hampshire had 7% of the share of kids facing hunger, followed by North Dakota with 9%. States with rates of 20% or above included California, Kentucky, Mississippi and Utah. The District of Columbia also was in this group.

    The report also said that nearly 15 million low-income children get free school lunches, and 7 million get free breakfasts. More than 50,000 also take home backpacks on Fridays that are filled with a few pounds of healthful food provided by local food banks and churches.

    “The problem is the gap in services,” says researcher Jan Pruitt. She says not all needy families get food stamps and free school meals because of the shame of being poor.

    In Texas, Pruitt says, demand for food has steadily risen in recent years as working poor families struggle to pay for gas and housing. She says the state has a high poverty rate and large rural areas, so there is one food store for every 480 square miles.

    Relatively few kids — less than 1% — lived in “very low food security” households where members ate less because they could not afford to buy enough food. In these households, adults are the ones most likely to skip meals because “parents have to protect their kids from hunger”.

    Researchers expect the number of food insecure people nationwide will rise because of higher food and energy prices.

72. According to John Cook, the result of the study _______.

A. is not completely believable                B. called people’s attention to child hunger

C. only covers some states of the US            D. was kept secret for a long time   

73. In the District of Columbia, the percentage of kids facing hunger may be about _______.

A. 7%        B. 9%           C. 18%       D. 20%

74. According to Jan Pruitt, we can learn that _______.

A. schools play the biggest role in helping the hungry children

B. some hungry people feel shame for being poor and refuse help    

C. there are enough food stores in most of the rural areas in Texas

D. the prices of gas and housing are likely to reduce in the future

75. What does the underlined part “skip meals” probably mean?

A. To cook meals.     B. To buy meals.     C. Not to have meals.    D. Not to accept meals. 

Of the 7,000 languages spoken in the world today, linguists (语言学家) say, nearly half are likely to disappear this century. In fact, one falls out of use about every two weeks.

    Some languages die out in an instant, at the death of the only surviving speaker. Others are lost gradually in bilingual (双语的) cultures, as local tongues are edged out by the dominant (占主导地位的) language at school, in the marketplace and on television.

    New research, supported by the National Geographic Society and the Living Tongues Institute for Endangered Languages, has found the five regions where languages are disappearing most rapidly. They are northern Australia, central South America, North America's upper Pacific coastal zone, eastern Siberia, and Oklahoma and the southwestern United States.

K. David Harrison, an associate professor of linguistics at Swarthmore College, US, said that more than half the languages had no written form and were vulnerable to loss and being forgotten." Their loss leaves no dictionary, no text, or no record of the accumulated knowledge and history of a disappeared culture.

    Harrison and other researchers started their rescue project last year. They have been trying to identify and record endangered languages. They interviewed and made recordings of the few remaining speakers of a language and collected basic word lists. The individual projects, some lasting three to four years, involve hundreds of hours of recording speech, developing grammar and preparing children's readers in the obscure (逐渐没落的) language. The research has concentrated on preserving entire language families.

    "These are probably languages that cannot be brought back, but at least we made records of them," said Gregory Anderson, director of the Living Tongues Institute, in Oregon, US.

1.What does the passage mainly tell us?          

A. Many languages are quickly disappearing.

B. Some languages are disappearing because they are hard to remember.

C. Chinese is one of the languages that are disappearing.

D. Thanks to some researchers, many endangered languages have been rescued.

2.What does the word vulnerable in the fourth paragraph mean?  

A. easy to remember.                         B. easy to forget.

C. likely to be damaged.                     D. likely to be protected.

3.Which of the following is true according to the fifth paragraph?  

A. Harrison and other researchers are trying to find out why some languages died out.

B. Harrison and other researchers tried to start a rescue project.

C. Harrison and other researchers have concentrated on preserving all the languages.

D. Harrison and other researchers have done some rescue work on the obscure languages.

4.One of the things that Harrison and other researchers did was         .   

A. to have more people speak the disappearing language

B. to make records of the disappearing language

C. to limit dominant languages

D. to publish a dictionary of the disappearing language

5.What do you think is the suggested reason for some languages disappearing?     

A. Local tongues are gradually edged out by the dominant language at school, in the marketplace and on television.

B. The number of people who speak the languages are small.

C. There are no dictionaries for the languages.

D. No one make records of the languages, so they gradually disappear.

Some personal characteristics play an important role in the development of one’s intelligence . But people fail to realize the importance of training these factors in young people .
The so-called ‘non-intelligence factors’(非智力因素)include1feelings , will , motivation (动机), interests and habits . After a 30-year follow-up study of 8000 males , American psychologists (心理学)2that the main cause of disparities in intelligence is not intelligence3, but non-intelligence factors including the desire to learn , will power and self-confidence .
4people all know that one should have definite objectives , a strong will and good learning habits , quite a number of teachers and parents don’t pay much attention to5these factors .
Some parents are greatly worried6their children fail to do well in their studies . They blame either genetic (遗传的)factors , malnutrition ,(营养不良)or laziness , but they never take7consideration these non-intelligence factors . At the same time , some teachers don’t inquire into these , as reasons8students do poorly . They simply give them more courses and exercises , or9criticize or laugh at them . After all , these students lose self-confidence . Some of them just feel defeated and10themselves up as hopeless . Others may go astray(迷途)because they are sick of learning .11investigation of more than 1,000 middle school students in Shanghai showed that 46.5 per cent of them were12of learning , because of examinations , 36.4 per cent lacked persistence , initiative (主动)and consciousness (正直地、谨慎的)and 10.3 per cent were sick of learning .
It is clear13the lack of cultivation (培养) of non-intelligence factors has been a main14to intelligence development in teenagers . It even causes an imbalance between physiological (生理的)and15development among a few students .
If we don’t start now to16the cultivation of non-intelligence factors , it will not only affect the development of the17of teenagers , but also affect the quality of a whole generation . Some experts have put forward18about how to cultivate students’ non-intelligence factors .
First , parents and teachers should19understand teenage psychology . On this basis , they can help them to pursue (调动)the objectives of learning ,20their interests and toughening their willpower .
