Wugging, or web use giving, describes the act of giving to charity at no cost to the user. By using
Everyclick.com, which is being added to a number of university computers across the UK, students can
raise money every time they search, but it won"t cost them a penny.
Research shows that students are extremely passionate about supporting charity - 88% of full time
students have used the Internet to give to charity. This age group is often the least likely to have their own
income. 19% of 22 to 24 year olds have short-term debts of more than ?5,000. With rising personal debt
levels in this age group, due to university tuition fees or personal loans and a lack of long-term savings,
traditional methods of donating to charity are often not appealing (有感染力的) or possible.
Beth Truman, a 21 year old recent university graduate, has used Everyclick.com to donate to her
chosen charity, the RSPCA, for two years and has seen the "wugging" movement grow in popularity with
students. "When you"re at university you become more socially aware, but it"s sometimes hard to give to
others when you have little money yourself," says Beth. "Wugging is great for people in this age group as it allows them to use the technology on a daily basis to give to charity, without costing them a single penny."
Wugging is perfect for people who want to be more socially aware and supportive but don"t feel they
have the means to do so. Students using the web can raise money for causes they care about without
costing them anything in terms of time or money, and charities get a valuable source of funding.
Everyclick.com works like any other search engine, allowing users to search for information, news and
images but users can decide which of the UK"s 170,000 charities they would like to support through their
clicks. Everyclick.com then makes monthly payments to every registered charity. Launched in June 2005, Everyclick.com is now the eighth largest search engine and one of the busiest charity websites in the UK.

Treetops, the hotel in the trees, is famous in the world. Peop1e know little about Kenya, but they know of Treetops. When King George VI died, Princess Elizabeth was staying on the Treetops, and when she
came down from there, "She succeeded him as the queen of the country".
The hotel is in the middle of the forest, and it shows the pleasure of Africa. When you visit it, you will
be sent into the heart of the forest by hotel buses, and then a guide, with a gun to protect you against big
game, will go with you to the Treetops. Before and after dinner, for the whole night if you wish, you can sit on the corridor(走廊), watching animals come to the water pool. The earliest hotel Treetops was built
round a large tree on the opposite side of the water, but that was destroyed by fire and the new hotel
Treetops, which is built round several trees, is much bigger.
The dining room at Treetops is small, and the waiters cannot walk round to serve guests, so a clever
"railway service" has been invented. Guests take their food as it passes slowly in front of them, along a line in the center of the table.
There are many animals around the Treetops. When you visit them, you can see:
---Animals and their babies are waiting to greet the guests.
---Animals, enjoying the Treetops pool in the daylight.
---A long bodied, long ring tailed very active cat-like animal is a special one coming out at night. He
hunts and eats anything he can catch and is very destructive. He lives in the trees at Treetops. He comes
for his food every evening. Do not get too near to him, as his teeth and claws(爪)can do you harm. These animals can be trained and become lovely pets.

If you have ever been rock climbing, you will know that it is not a very easy sport. In fact, you probably felt quite defeated when you first tried to do any serious climbing. Indoor and outdoor rock climbing are
both extremely demanding and require practice to get good at. It is one of the most physically and mentally demanding sports.
There are three basic types of rock climbing. Top roping is the most common type and the climber
need to climb with a partner. The second type, which is very similar to top roping, is called lead climbing.
In both of the types, the climber can sit off the wall and rest on the rope. The third type is called
bouldering. Bouldering is a type of free climbing without any ropes. This is the most demanding of all
climbing types. The climber must be able to complete the climbing without taking a rest on the rope.
Believe it or not, climbing is said to be about 75% legs and only 25% arms. To climb efficiently and
successfully, a person needs to have a wonderful technique. One of the major rules of rock climbing is to
always have three points touching the wall, whether it is both feet and one hand, or one foot and both
hands, as it is much easier to have your weight rest on three points than on two. Another important idea to grasp is that your arms in most cases will do the climbing; they only hold you into the wall so that your
legs are actually pushing you upward. Also, the closer you are to the wall, the easier it is to climb.
Rock climbing may sound a bit too extreme for the everyday person, but it is really an amazing
workout. Once you get into the sport, and learn how to position your body and rest your weight, then you can begin to deal with some difficult problems. The great thing about rock climbing is that it is mentally
challenging as well. You are constantly analyzing the way your body moves and how to do certain moves
on the wall. For anyone who wants to get into shape, rock climbing is a fun and effective way to exercise muscles.
1. What does the author think of rock climbing?
A. It is an easy sport.

There is a lot of misunderstanding about studying. Most students have not been taught the principles
behind really effective working. Imagine a graph showing the amount a person learns against the number
of hours he works in a day. If he doesn"t do any work, he learns nothing (point 0). If he does an hour"s
work he learns a certain amount (point 1). If he does two hours" work he learns about twice as much
(point 2). If he does more work he"ll learn still more (point 3). However, if he tries to do twenty-three
and a half hours" work in a day, he will be so tired that he"ll hardly remember anything: what he learns
will be very little (point 4). If he did less work he"d learn more (point 5).
Now whatever the exact shape of the graph"s curve(曲线), made by joining these points, it must
have a high point. Point "X" is the very maximum anyone can learn in the day. And this represents the
optimum, the best, amount of work to do. It is the best possible compromise between adequate time
at the books and fatigue(劳累). Fatigue is an absolutely real thing; one can"t escape it or ignore it. If
you try to ignore it and press yourself to work past the optimum(最适度), you will only get on this
downward slope and achieve less than the best - and then become very tired and lose your power of
concentration.
The skill in being a student consists of getting one"s daily study as near the optimum point as
possible. I cannot tell you what the optimum is. It differs with the type of work, it differs from person
to person, and even in the same person it varies from week to week. You must try to find your own.
Every day you study, bear this principle of the optimum in mind. When you feel yourself getting fatigued,
if you find yourself reading the same paragraph over and over again and not taking it in, that"s a pretty
good sign you"ve reached your highest point for the day and should stop. Most ordinary students find
their optimum at five hours a day. Yours may be a little more or a little less - but if you get in five hours"
good work a day, you will be doing well.
Now, what are you doing with yourself when you aren"t working? Before examinations some students
do nothing at all except sit in a chair and worry. Here is another misunderstanding. People often think that
the mind works like the body; it does not. If one wanted to save one"s physical energy in order to cut the
maximum amount of firewood, one would lie flat on a bed and rest when one wasn"t chopping. But the
mind cannot rest. Even in sleep you dream, even if you forget your dreams. The mind is always turning.
It gets its relaxation only by variety. That is what makes the mind rest.
When you"ve finished your optimum number of hours you must stop. You must not then sit around in
the chair thinking about the work - that only tires without any learning. You must get out and do something. It doesn"t matter what - anything so long as you are actively doing something else but work. |
| 1. According to the passage, _______. |
A. the longer you study every day, the more you will learn
B. you"ll achieve better learning results if you work three hours every day
C. the less work you do, the better you will learn
D. your work efficiency will decrease once you exceed a certain point of work |
| 2. Fatigue can result in ________. |
A. loss of memory
B. a need for relaxation
C. a lot of anxiety
D. loss of concentration |
| 3. The passage tells us that a person"s optimum number of working hours _______. |
A. follows a regular pattern with each individual
B. changes regularly from week to week
C. can be partly determined by the sort of work he is doing
D. should be determined before he gets too tired |
| 4. The only way the mind can relax is by ________. |
A. doing a variety of things in turn
B. not thinking about anything
C. turning continuously
D. getting oneself in a state of fatigue |
| 5. After you have reached the optimum point of study in a day, you should ________. |
A. lie in bed and rest
B. do something else actively
C. do some physical labor
D. stop thinking about your studies |
