We live in a digital world now, and a student"s technology needs have changed. For the early years, say
when you are in primary school, you can get by with no technology at all. Even if you have a computer, it"s a
good idea to get children familiar with libraries. At this age, trips to the library are like family outings.
As you get closer to middle school, a computer with Internet access becomes more of a necessity.
Teachers will often give assignments that require a student to use the Internet for research. After a computer,
technology choices for students become more difficult to make - especially when it comes to cellphones. Kids
will beg their parents for a cell-phone, especially in middle school. For many parents, it"s a safety issue: They
want to know that their kids can reach them quickly if necessary. For teachers, cell phones can be used to
record lessons when students are absent. But many teachers dislike cell-phones. Some kids send messages or
have talks in the class. Sending messages also raises the problem of cheating on exams. More and more schools are now forbidding the use of cellphones.
Many kids see iPods as necessary things to have. iPods are great for music, but do they do anything good
for your children"s education? Maybe they do. That"s the opinion of Doug Johnson, an educator for 30 years.
Johnson says that educators should accept all new forms of technology in the classroom, including iPods.
"Some do more with their cell- phones than we can do with our laptops," he jokes."I don"t think we should be
afraid. The truth is that it"s easier to change the way we teach than to change the technology habits of an entire
generation." |

A. use the computer and the Internet regularly

One of the founding fathers of the internet has predicted the end of traditional television. Vint Serf, who
helped to build the internet while working as a researcher in America, said that television was approaching
its "iPod moment."
In the same way that people now download their favorite music onto their iPods, he said that viewers
would soon be downloading most of their favorite programmers onto their computers. "85 percent of all
video we watch is pre-recorded, so you can set your system to download it at any time," said Mr. Cerf,
who is now the vice-president of Goggle.
"You"re still going to need live television for certain things--like news, sporting events and emergencies-
but increasingly it will be almost like iPod, where you download content to look at later."
Although television-on-demand has not yet become a main activity in the UK, the BBC, 1TV and Channel
4 have all invested a lot of money in technology which Mr. Cerf think will enable viewers to watch their
favorite shows on their computers.
However, some critics (批评家) have warned that the Internet will collapse (崩溃) if millions of people
try to download programmers at the same time.
Over the next four years, scientists think the number of videos watched over the Internet will double,
with people moving from short chips to hour-long programmes.
Broadband companies claim that the service will cause "traffic jams", which will cost millions of pounds
to solve. Mr. Cerf dismissed these warnings, saying that critics had predicted 20 years ago that the net would
collapse when people all around the world started to use it at the same time, "We"re far from exhausting (用
尽) the capacity," he said. "I want every one of the six billion people in the planet to be able to connect to
the Internet." |
| 1. Vint Cerf is all the following EXCEPT that _____. |
A. a researcher in the United States
B. the vice-president of Goggle
C. one of the founders of the Internet
D. a manager of a broadband company |
| 2. Which of the following is NOT something Vint Cerf has predicted? |
A. Traditional television will soon have its iPod moment.
B. The number of videos watched over the Internet will double.
C. Viewers will be able to download TV programmers onto their iPods.
D. Viewers will be able to watch their favorite TV shows on the Internet. |
| 3. According to the passage, people can always do all the following EXCEPT _____. |
A. watch short clips over the Internet
B. download live TV over the Internet
C. download per-recorded videos over the Internet
D. listen to their favorite music on their computers |
| 4. Some critics are now predicting _____. |
A. the Internet will collapse if millions of people use it at the same time
B. people all over the world will be able to connect to the Internet
C. the Internet will crash if too many people download TV programmes at the same time
D. the videos people watch over the Internet |
| 5. This passage mainly tells us _____. |
A. a Goggle expert is predicting the end of traditional television
B. the Internet will never be used to download people"s favourite shows
C. the Internet will become more popular
D. something about Vint Cerf |

After blogging regularly for two months, people felt they had better social support and friendship networks
than those who didn"t blog. Blogging can help you feel less isolated, more connected to a community and more
satisfied with your friendships. Both online and face-to-face, a new Australian research has found.
Researchers James Baker and Professor Susan Moore from Swinburne have written two papers investigating
the psychological benefits of blogging-regularly updating personal web pages with information that invites others
to comment.
The first, published in the latest issue of the journal CyberPsychology and Behaviour. compares the mental
health of people intending to blog with that of people not planning to blog. Moore says the researchers messaged
600 MySpace users personally and directed them to an online survey. A total of 134 completed the questionnaire.
84 intended to blog and 50 didn"t.
"We found potential bloggers were less satisfied with their friendships and they felt less socially integrated;
they didn"t feet as much part of a community as the people who weren"t interested in blogging …"Moore says.
"It was as if they were saying "I"m going to do this blogging and it"s going to help me"."
And it seemed to do the trick, as the researchers" second study shows. This study which is yet to be
published, was conducted two months later. The researchers sent out questionnaires (调查问卷) to the same
group of MySpace users, this time 59 responded Bloggers reported a greater sense of belonging to a group of
like-minded people and feeling more confident because they could rely on others for help. All respondents,
whether or not they blogged, reported feeling less anxious, depressed and stressed after two months of online
social networking.
"So going onto MySpace had lifted the mood of all participants in some way," Moore says. "Maybe they"d
just made more social connections."
Moore acknowledges this is early research and hopes to follow a larger group of people for a longer period time to test some of the research findings. |

Each cell in the human body contains about 25,000 to 35,000 genes, which carry information that determines
your traits. Traits are characteristics you inherit from your parents; this means your parents pass some of their
characteristics on to you through genes. For example, if both of your parents have green eyes, you might inherit
the trait of green eyes from them. Or if your mom has freckles, you might inherit that trait and wind up with a
freckled face. And genes aren"t just in humans - all animals and plants have genes, too.
Genes hang out all lined up on thread-like things called chromosomes. Chromosomes come in pairs, and there
are hundreds, sometimes thousands of genes in one chromosome. The chromosomes and genes are made of
DNA, which is short for deoxyribonucleic acid.
Chromosomes are found inside cells, the very small units that make up all living things. A cell is so tiny that
you can only see it through the lens of a strong microscope, and there are billions of cells in your body. Most
cells have one nucleus. The nucleus, which is sort of egg-shaped, is like the brain of the cell. It tells every part
of the cell what to do. How does the nucleus know so much? It contains our chromosomes and genes. Tiny as
it is, the nucleus has more information in it than the biggest dictionary you"ve ever seen. |
| 1. What is the best title of this passage? |
A. What Is a Gene?
B. How Do Genes Work?
C. What Does A Gene Consist of?
D. How Do Nucleus Command Cells? |
| 2. What does the underlined word "inherit" probably mean in the first paragraph? |
A. carry
B. send
C. obtain
D. pass |
| 3. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? |
A. The parents pass some characteristics on to their children.
B. All living things receive traits from the old generations.
C. One"s green eyes might be passed on from the parents.
D. A mother"s freckled face might affect her young"s face. |
| 4. From the passage we can know that _____. |
A. genes can decide all your characteristics from parents
B. genes exist inside cells that make up all living things
C. genes tells every part of the cell what to do
D. Chromosomes come in pairs containing genes. |
| 5. From the passage we can conclude that _____. |
A. not all cells have one nucleus inside
B. not all living things are made up of cells
C. genes aren"t in humans but in animals and plants
D. DNA is made of chromosomes and genes |
