题型：不详难度：来源：

I do a lot of hiking.And I can step out of my house and within minutes reach a beautiful forest where I walk for exercise every day.I see many photography subjects such as parrots，snakes，hares，big trees and flowers.There are so many different flowers around my place that once I decided to see how many types I could count in a onehourlong walk，and I counted over 100.
Needless to say，as a keen amateur photographer，I always take a camera with me.I have three favorites: a Pentax Optio RZ10，a Sony Alpha 390 and a Panasonic Lumix FZ100.I mostly take the Pentax pocket camera with me.This Pentax pocket camera takes images as good as those from much more expensive Single Lens(镜头)Reflex cameras.It allows you to get to just 1 cm from the subject，and these images are of astonishing clarity(清楚)．I can stick the camera right into a flower.And the photo shows fantastic details.
The Pentax is also good at taking landscapes.The color is natural and price again the details even of distant objects are great.Sometimes，even when I have one of my other cameras with me，I still just use the Pentax pocket camera.About half of all the images on my website were taken with the Pentax.
The Pentax takes quality images in poor light and the zoom works well.You have to work hard to get a blurry(模糊的)shot.This is an especially good feature at parties and gatherings.You get fantastic photos of people.You don"t have to wait for them to keep still.
Keep this camera in your pocket or in the car.It takes up little room；it"s light and you"ll never regret it!

举一反三

Ereading and ebooks are slowly conquering the world.Compared to traditional paper books，ebooks in some schools and universities attract more interest because the information flow seems much easier to manage and comes in a greatly higher quantity.
Japan is known for the reformminded attitude towards the gadget(精巧装置) world and for the fact that it is one of the first countries that encouraged in the educational system the emailing of homework.
The digital textbook looks like the logical step in the world of learning.It is natural but it is also completely untraditional.
The plan of the largest publishing companies to get in line with the trend is to save a large quantity of paper and make the kids become interested in learning using a cool gadget.Many USA universities and colleges have made students be used to the procedure of downloading the courses and of course the procedure involves interactive software and also the chance of using the computer.
The traditional education system is still unwilling when it comes to giving up books.The standard approach of information taught out of a book and Shakespeare read out of an old school novel makes studying English as traditional as it can be.
In a world where kids would rather see the movie than read a book，the digital age has brought along a completely different flavor to reading.Bringing that flavor in school will make teaching a greener and also a completely different matter.
小题1:Why are ebooks so popular in the world?

A．It"s cheap to buy.	B．It"s effective to use.
C．It"s convenient to bring.	D．It"s the latest fashion.

小题2:Which of the following words can best take the place of the word “reformminded” in the second paragraph?

Keeping pace with teachers is a fine way to study English.Teachers are experienced and their plans are systematic.But remember to work in a way that suits you.It"s important to learn from past mistakes as well.Keep a notebook to make a record of the mistakes you make－it"ll help you avoid making the same ones later.
The time of life may be hard，but you"re not alone.You may be busy studying，but you can show your care by calling your friends or sending short messages.Don"t let your friendships die.
It"s as important to live well as it is to study well.Going to bed no later than 11：30 pm is vital.It puts you in the right mood for the next day.You needn"t follow a special diet，but make sure you are eating nutritious meals each day.
The person who plays well，studies well.Having a lot of schoolwork doesn"t mean having to give up other activities.Playing basketball or having a talk with your classmates can relax yourself.Time_out is not a waste of time but helps you study more efficiently.
Besides taking the big exam，you have other choices for college.I took the independent enrollment exam held by Peking University and some other students even were preparing to study abroad.Pay attention to any relevant information you can find，whether it"s from school，the news media or other sources.

There are a great number of people in the world while few people are great.I think there is probably only one great person out of 10，000 at best，and most probably much less than that.
The reason why there are only few of them is that most people do not pay the price of greatness.There are so many people who want to be great，why only very few of them actually pay the price? The answer to the question explains the difference between the almost 100% people who want to be great and the much less than 0.01% who actually be so.The reason is that the road to greatness is full of pains.
Greatness requires sacrifices and there is no sacrifice without pain.The kind of sacrifices required for greatness is the ones that make the process continuously painful for long time.If you only want to be good it may be painful just every now and then，and many people can still handle it.But being great is a total difference.The pain is much deeper and it is continuous，so very few people can endure this kind of pain.Most people naturally choose things that bring pleasures to them.It"s unnatural to choose pain over pleasure，let alone doing it continuously for long time.But that"s what I believe is the secret to greatness: The secret to greatness is choosing pain over pleasures continuously for long time.
小题1:What is the purpose of Paragraph 1?

A．To compare.	B．To list statistics.
C．To lead up to the topic.	D．To give information.

小题2:If one person only wants to be good，what will he/she face?

A．Occasional pains.	B．Continual work.

B．Greatness equals sacrifices.

C．What"s greatness.

Being able to call on the old boy"s network helps you get your foot in the door，but has little impact on your later success.Having good connections does change your possibility of being offered a higher wage when you start working，but has no impact on your eventual wage.Coming from a wealthy background has little impact on lifetime earnings.Over time，brain power soon overtakes(超过)，and intelligence is the factor，which will determine your earnings and success.The speed of your rise through the ranks is determined largely by your own intelligence.
The study monitored earnings and promotions over the course of 25 years.Scores were used to assess the SocioEconomic Background(SEB)－wealth and connections－and standard Army intelligence tests used to assess intelligence.The study is sure to infuriate(激怒)those angered by wealthy groups such as Oxford"s upper－crust(上流社会)Bullingdon Club，of which both David Cameron and Borris Johnson were members.
Professor Yoav Ganzach says that these findings have a positive message for those，who can"t rely on nepotism(裙带关系)for their first job.“Your family can help you start your career and you do get an advantage，but it doesn"t help you progress.And once you start working，you can go wherever your abilities take you，” he says.When intelligence and SEB are pitted directly against once another(相互较量)，intelligence is a more accurate predictor of future career success，he say.
小题1:How many factors which may influence one"s career are mentioned in the passage?

A．1.	B．2.
C．3.	D．4.

小题2:Who will be encouraged most after reading the passage?

A．People who are lack of money.

B．People who can"t depend on nepotism.

C．People with high intelligence.

D．People with wide connections.

小题3:What"s the main idea of the passage?

A．Earnings and promotions are up to your own.

B．A study conducted by Professor Yoav Ganzach.

C．SEB is very important in one"s first career.

D．Success is determined by your own brain power.
