Ask just about any college student you know,and he is likely to tell you that he is a member of facebook.com.Many students say they check their e-mail.It’s so popular “facelooking”has become a verb “Everywhere everyone is doing it,”college student Katie Silverman said,“It’s like everyone’s center of life.”
Facebook is an online social meeting place where students create profiles (简介),share personal information, and meet other members. It is password protected and targeted to high school and college students;members must have an edu.email address to join.
Many students say it has changed their social lives, giving them an easy way to find and chat with classmates who share their interests.“Some people might be too shy to go to talk to someone they like in one of their classes,but on facebook it’s a lot easier to strike up a conversation,”said Rahul Vanjani.
The website was founded by two Harward University students who wanted to meet more of their classmates.It became so popular that the website is at 2,200 colleges and at 22,000 high schools.It says that it has 6 million active users,two—thirds of whom are on it every day.Many of the facebook members said their parents had no idea they were on it .“No way.My parents certainly don’t know about it,” said a college senior who asked us not to use his name.
To keep it popular,Facebook says it stops students posting improper information.Some students have paid the price.At Fisher College in Boston,two students were kicked out for using facebook.com to do something that is against the law.At North Carolina State University,four students were punished for posting photos about drinking.

举一反三
Everybody hates rats.But in the earthquake capitals of the world-Japan,Los Angeles,Turkey-rats will soon be man"s new best friends.
What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue(救援) dogs. Why? Because they can smell people.Dogs save lives.They help rescuers to find living people.But dogs are big and they can"t get into small spaces.So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives:the rat.
How does it work? First,the rat is trained to smell people.When this happens,the rat"s brain gives a signal(信号).This is sent to a small radio on its back,and then the rescuers follow the radio signals.When the rat"s brain activity jumps,the rescuers know that someone is alive.The rat has smelled that person.
Although there are already robots which can do this job,rats are better.Christian Linster at Cornell University—New York says,“Robots" noses don"t work well when there are other smells around.Rats are good at that.” Rats can also see in the dark.They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs,and unlike robots,they don"t need electricity!
The “rat project” is not finished,but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says,“It would be fantastic.A rat could get into spaces we couldn"t get to and a rat would get out if it wasn"t safe.” Perhaps for the first time in history,people will be happy to see a rat in a building(but only after an earthquake,of course).
小题1:In the world earthquake capitals,rats will become man"s best friends because they can _________.
A.take the place of man"s rescue jobs
B.find the position of people alive who are trapped in buildings
C.serve as food for people alive who are trapped in buildings
D.get into small spaces
小题2:From the third paragraph we know the rescuers can judge a person is alive by_________.
A.the noise made by the ratB.the rat"s unusual behavior
C.the signal sent by the radio on the rat"s backD.the smell given off by the person
小题3: In doing rescue jobs,_________.
A.rats smell better than dogs
B.dogs don"t need to be trained to smell people
C.robots" sense of smell can be affected by other smells around
D.rats can see in the dark and smaller than robots
小题4: Rats have all the following advantages except that_________.
A.they are more fantastic than other animalsB.they are less expensive to train than dogs
C.they don"t need electricityD.they are small and can get into small places

Having one of those days—or weeks—when everything seems to annoy you? Even if you do nothing about it, your bad mood(心情) will probably go away after some time. But with a little effort, you can forget it much faster—often within a day or two.
Walk it off
Exercise is the most popular bad­mood buster. A person who"s in a bad mood has low energy and high tension. Taking a fast ten­minute walk, or doing some quick  exercises can do wonders towards changing the bad mood.
Tune it out
Listening to your favorite music for a while can also make tension go away quickly, because music starts connection with past positive experiences we"ve had.
Give yourself a pep talk
Stop and listen to what"s on your mind. Bad moods are often started by too many negative thoughts. Write them all down on paper, the pessimistic(悲观的) messages you"ve been giving yourself, and then give optimistic answers. (“I still don"t have a job.” vs “I have two interviews next week.”)
Reduce your stress
Relaxation techniques are wonderful mood­lifters. These include deep breathing, stretching and visualizing, all of which sound complicated(复杂的) but aren"t. One easy way to visualize: close your eyes and picture a favorite place, such as the beach. Another simple way to distress is to make a to­do list. One reason for being in a bad mood is feeling you have no options. By taking control over certain areas,  you realize you"re not helpless. You can make changes in your mood and life.
Avoid things that won"t improve your mood
TV may not help much: you need to increase your energy level and stimulate(刺激) your mind—something that the TV show “Neighbors” won"t do. And before you reach for that piece of cake and coffee, think about how mood and food are linked. Sugar and caffeine contribute to depressed moods. The better choice? Research shows that carbohydrates, such as potatoes and pasta(面食), produce calming effects in people who have a desire for them.
小题1:Which of the following may help us stop a bad mood?
A.Doing nothing about it.
B.Exercising and enjoying music.
C.Writing down negative thoughts.
D.Talking about it with neighbors.
小题2:Why is it suggested that you close your eyes and picture the beach?
A.It helps remove bad mood.
B.It brings us a new technique.
C.It is not complicated to do so.
D.It is an area to be easily controlled.
小题3:TV may not improve your mood because it ________.
A.shows what happens around you
B.does not energize you
C.reminds you of eating and drinking
D.produces a calming effect
小题4:Which would be the best title for this passage?
A.Energy Level and Stress
B.How to Beat a Bad Mood
C.Bad Mood and Our Life
D.How to Control Your Feeling

Soon Tommy’s parents, who had recently separated, would arrive for a conference on his failing schoolwork and bad behavior. Neither parent knew that I had called the other.
Tommy, an only child, had always been happy, cooperative and an excellent student. How could I convince his father and mother that his recent failing grades represented a broken-hearted child’s reaction to his parents’ separation and pending (即将发生的) divorce?
Tommy’s mother entered and took one of the chairs. Soon the father arrived. Good! At least they were concerned enough to be here in time. They ignored each other.
As I gave a detailed account of Tommy’s behavior and schoolwork, I prayed for the right words to bring these two together to help them see what they were doing to their son. But somehow the words wouldn’t come. Perhaps if they saw one of his dirty, carelessly done papers?
I found a sheet in the back of his desk. Writing covered both sides: not the assignment, but a single sentence scribbled (潦草地写) over and over.
Silently I gave it to Tommy’s mother. She read it and then handed it to her husband. Then his face softened.
At last he folded the paper carefully, placed it in his pocket, and reached for his wife’s hand. She wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled up at him. He helped her with her coat and they left together.
In his own way God had given me the words to reunite that family. He had guided me to the sheet of yellow copy paper covered with the pain out pouring of a small boy’s troubled heart.
The words are “Dear Mom…Dear Daddy… I love you…”
小题1:The author called Tommy’s parents in order to ________.
A.solve the couple’s problem
B.scold them for their divorce
C.help them realize their influence on Tommy
D.blame Tommy for his failing grades
小题2:This passage is most probably written by _________.
A.a teacherB.a journalistC.a lawyerD.a doctor
小题3:How did Tommy’s parents feel after seeing the words?
A.Satisfied.B.Troubled.C.DepressedD.Moved
小题4: We can learn from the passage that _______.
A.the author knew Tommy often wrote to his parents
B.the author said a lot to make Tommy’s parents reunite
C.Tommy hated his parents divorcing
D.Tommy was greatly influenced by his parents
小题5: What would be the best title for this passage?
A.A separate familyB.Tommy’s essay
C.Never divorceD.A good teacher
