阅读理解。     Surfing the Internet for fun will make you a better employee, according to an Australian study.
     The University of Melbourne study shows that people who use the Internet for their own reasons at
work are about 9 percent more productive than those who do not. Study author Brent Coker said,
"Surfing the Internet at times helps increase an employee"s attention."
     "People need to relax for a bit to get back their attention," Coker said on the university"s website.
"Having a short break, such as a quick surfing of the Internet, helps the mind to rest itself, leading to a
higher total Internet attention for a day"s work, and as a result, increases productivity (生产效率)," he
said.
     According to the study of 300 workers, 70 percent of people who use the Internet at work surf the
Interne t for their own reasons during office hours. Among the most popular surfing activities are
searching for information about products, reading online news, playing online games and watching
videos. "Firms spend a lot of money on software to block their employees from watching videos, using
social networking sites or shopping online," said Coker. "That"s not always a good idea."
     However, Coker said the study looked at people who surfed the Internet in moderation (适度), or
were on the Internet for less than 20 percent of their total time in the office. "Those who spend too much
time surfing the Internet will have a lower productivity than those without." he said.1. What does the University of Melbourne study mainly show?A. People who surf the Internet are good employees.
B. Not everyone surfs the Internet for fun during office hours.
C. Surfing the Internet for fun at times during office hours increases productivity.
D. The Internet is becoming more and more important in people"s life.2. According to Paragraph 3, Brent Coker would most probably agree that ______.A. the longer a person"s mind rests, the better attention he will have

阅读理解。     It is sometimes said that English is English and that there are no differences between different kinds of
English, but this is not the case. American English is in general quite different from UK English. The main
differences relate to the use of certain words and to spelling. American English is much more phonetic(与发音近似的)than UK English and in American English a "z" or a "c" is often used where an "s" would be
used in British English.
     Words can vary in different types of English as well. An "estate agent" in UK English is someone who
works in "real estate" in American English. British people talk of "rubbish" while the Americans call this
"garbage". The UK people have "bins", but the Americans have "dumpsters".
     The differences between these ways of using English make translating works into English a difficult
business. There are translation tools available on the Internet, but these can often translate words in a very direct way and the end result is a sentence that has lost its meaning.
    The best way of translating any written piece of work into the English language is to first decide what
kind of English you want the piece to be translated into. For example, if it is for a British market, then use
the UK English. For the best result, always use some kind of spelling and grammar checker so you can
make sure that you are using the proper terms, spelling and vocabulary.1. Which of the following statements would the writer most probably agree with? A. UK English is much more phonetic than American English.
B. There are differences between different kinds of English.
C. American English is different from British English only in spelling.
D. It"s easier to learn British English than to learn American English.2. The underlined word "vary" in Paragraph 2 means "______".A. change
B. argue
C. replace
D. compare3. It is implied in Paragraph 3 that ______.A. works translated into English will surely lose their meanings
B. we should never translate words into English in a direct way
C. translating works into English is not difficult
D. online translation tools are not so useful4. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. The advantages of using a spelling and grammar checker.
B. The differences between British English and American English.
C. What we should do when translating something into English.
D. When we should use British English or American English.

     Childhood curiosity can last a lifetime and I learned this from my son, Bill. When he was very young, I
often took him to the   1  . He loved to read and often needed to   2   the books he"d read in order to
borrow more books. One unintended   3   of his nonstop reading habits was that he even   4   at the dinner
table. His mother, Mary, and I did our best to   5   him that, on certain social   6  , reading while dining with
others was not a good thing.
     Every summer the teachers at his school   7   give the students a reading list, and there was a contest to
see who could read the most books. He was so   8  , and he always wanted to win. And he often   9  . But
the main reason why he read so obsessively (着迷地) was that he was so   10  . He didn"t just want to
learn about   11   things. He wanted to learn about everything.
     We helped   12   his curiosity in every way.   13   an unfamiliar word came up in conversation, we"d
turn to the   14  , looking up the word, and reading the definition aloud. Thus my son came to realize that if
you have a question, the   15   exists somewhere. All you have to do is   16   it.
     Bill remains as much of a   17   today as when he was a child, and he seems to   18   everything he
reads. He"s often   19   to share what he"s learned with the next person he meets. He   20   reads at the
dinner table, though - which is a good thing because the books he"s attracted to now are increasingly

Sure, it"s good to get along with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant. And yes, it"s good to get along with your teacher because, in general, it"s smart to learn how to understand the different types of people you"ll meet throughout your life. "But really, there"s one super-important reason why you should get along with your teacher. When you do, learning bursts right open," says Evelyn Vuko, a longtime teacher who writes an education column(专栏) called "Teacher Says" for the Washington Post newspaper. In fact, kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but they"re more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school life, such as bullying. As a kid in a primary or middle school, you"re at a wonderful stage in your life. You"re like a sponge (海绵), able to absorb lots of new and exciting information. On top of that, you"re able to think about all this information in new ways. Your teacher knows that, in most cases, is very excited to be the person who"s giving you all that material and helping you make it. Remember, teachers are people, too, and they feel great if you"re open to what they"re teaching you. That"s why they wanted to be teachers in the first place-to teach! Some kids may be able to learn in any situation, whether they like the teacher or not. But most kids are sensitive to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things aren"t going well, they won"t learn as well and won"t enjoy being in class.
1. In the passage, the author mainly talks about _______.
A. how to get along well with others B. the importance of a good relation with teachers C. how much the students are expected of to get along with teachers D. how to make the time in the classroom more pleasant
2. "Learning bursts right open" in the third paragraph really means _______.
A. learning becomes easier for you at once B. you find an opening to learning C. there"ll be more problems with learning D. there"ll be no problems at all with learning
3. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. If you get on well with your teachers, you must have a good result in exams. B. The more questions you ask, the higher marks you will get. C. If you have a good relationship with your teacher, you can turn to him when in trouble. D. Many kids can do well without a good relationship with teachers.
4. Which of the comments is FALSE on teachers and their work according to the passage?
A. Teachers are excited even if you wouldn"t like to accept their teaching. B. Teachers sometimes have the same feelings as students do. C. Though few, there are still some students who can learn even if they don"t like the teacher. D. Having a bad relationship with your teachers does more or less harm to your studies.

A recent study, which was published in last week"s Journal of the American Medical Association, offers a picture of how dangerous it is to get a lift from a teenage driver. Indeed, a 16-year-old driver with three or more passengers has three times the possibility of a serious accident, compared with a teenager driving alone. The authors also found that the death rates for teenage drivers increased greatly after 10 p.m., and especially after midnight. With passengers in the car, the driver was even more likely to die in a late-night accident. Robert Foss, a scientist at the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center, says the higher death rates for teenage drivers have less to do with "really stupid behavior" than with just a lack of driving experience. "The basic issue is that adults who are responsible for giving out licenses fail to recognize how complex and skilled driving is." he says. Both he and the author of the study believe that the way to mitigate (使缓解) the problem is to have states set up so-called graduated licensing systems, in which getting a license is a process with several stages. A graduated license requires that a teenager first prove himself able to drive in the presence(在场) of an adult, followed by a period of driving with night of passenger restrictions (限制) before graduating to full driving rights. Graduated licensing systems have reduced teenage driver crashes, according to recent studies.
1.Which of the following situations is most dangerous according to the passage?
A. Adults giving a lift to teenagers on the highway after 10 p.m. B. A teenager driving after midnight with passengers in the car. C. Adults driving with three or more teenage passengers late at night. D. A teenager getting a lift from a stranger on the highway at midnight.
2. According to Robert Foss, the high death rate of teenage drivers is mainly due to _____.
A. their lack of driving experience B. their frequent driving at night C. their wrong way of driving D. their driving with passengers
3. According to Paragraph 3, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Teenagers should spend more time learning to drive. B. Driving is a skill too complex for teenagers to learn. C. Restrictions should be forced on teenagers demanding to take driving licenses. D. The licensing department is partly responsible for teenagers" driving accidents.
4. A suggested measure to be taken to reduce teenagers" driving accidents is that _____.
A. the licensing system should be improved B. they should be forbidden to take on passengers C. they should not be allowed to drive after 10 pm D. driving in the presence of an adult should be made a rule
