The Internet is not perfect. There are many problems with it.
The Internet is not organized. There is no one in charge of the Internet. It is sometimes difficult to find
what you are looking for. It is also easy to get the wrong information on the "Net".
Some businessmen cheat people on the Internet. Internet thieves can steal credit card numbers. Some
advertisers send spam to e-mail boxes. E-mail boxes are often filled with these unwanted advertisements.
Illegal businesses can operate on the Internet. These businesses sell X-rated materials, cigarettes and
alcohol to teenagers.
The Internet has websites with information about making bombs, breaking the law and terrorism.
Criminals can fool people, especially children, in chat rooms. They can spread poisonous information and
attack new members.
The Internet is the greatest advance in communication since human emerged. But it can also like a dark alley in a dangerous part of town. Parents need to set parental controls on their children when they use the Internet. This will keep some of the bad material away from their children.
The Internet can be dangerous to computers, too. Some people who have evil intentions enjoy causing problems for other people they don"t even know. They create computer viruses. A computer can get virus by downloading a program that has a virus in it. Some virus come by e-mail.
A virus can destroy the data a person has saved in computer files. A virus can cause a computer to
crash. A virus can also reproduce itself! It can send copies of itself to everyone on a person"s e-mail
address list. Then these people"s will have the same problems and can"t work normally! |

Every day, about one-quarter of American adults eat at fast-food restaurants. Cheap, tasty, and
convenient, fast food is rich in fat and calories, and it"s low in fiber and nutrients. Thanks in large part
to fast food, half of America"s adults and one-quarter of its children are fat, double the rate of a
generation ago. In the past two decades, eating habits have changed as people pay more attention to
their health. However, many Americans continue to eat red meat (beef in particular) as well as pork,
chicken and other foods. Although beer and wine are popular in most areas, many Americans abstain
from alcohol, because they think they will become healthier without drinking it. Various kinds of mineral
water are commonly available.
Eating styles and habits vary between people of different backgrounds, but Americans generally eat
with the fork in the hand with which they write. A knife is used for cutting and spreading; otherwise, it is
laid on the plate or table. Fast foods, such as chips, fried chicken, hamburgers, and pizza, tend to be
eaten with the fingers. There is an obvious difference between what people may do at home or in a
fast-food restaurant, and how they act in a more formal restaurant. Because both parents often work
outside the home, some Americans are less likely to sit down as a family to eat once the children are
older and able to prepare their own food or serve themselves. |
| 1. How many adults became fat after eating fast foods a generation ago? |
A. 12.5% of them
B. 25% of them

| 2. American have changed their eating habits in the past twenty years because ______. |
A. they want to keep healthy

D. they have to work outside |
| 3. The underlined phrase "abstain from" in Para. 1 probably means ______. |
A. feel like
B. get close to
C. suffer from
D. get rid of |
| 4. We can infer from the passage ______. |
A. some fast foods aren"t eaten with tools in America
B. Americans always eat fried chicken with a knife
C. Americans prefer to eat outside than at home
D. Americans always go home having meals as a family |
| 5. Which would be the best title of the passage? |

Attention to detail is something everyone can and should do - especially in tight job market. Bob
Crossley, a human-resources expert notices this in the job applications that come across his desk every
day. "It"s amazing how many candidates cross out themselves," he says.
"Resumes (简历)arrive with faults. Some candidates don"t bother to spell the company"s name
correctly. Once I see a mistake, I cross out the candidates," Crossley concludes. "If they cannot take
care of these details, why should we trust them with a job?"
Can we pay too much attention to details? Perfectionists struggle over little things at the cost of
something larger they work toward. "To keep from losing the forest for the trees," says Charles Garfield,
the professor at the University of California, San Francisco, "We must constantly ask ourselves how the
details we"re working on fit into the larger picture. If they don"t, we should drop them and move to
something else."
Garfield compares this process to his work as a computer scientist at NASA. "The Apollo II moon
launch was slightly off course 90 percent of the time," says Garfield. "But a successful landing was still
likely because we knew the exact position of our goal. This allowed us to make adjustments as
necessary." Knowing where to go helps us judge the importance of every task we undertake.
Too often we believe what accounts for others" success is some special secret or a lucky break.
But rarely is success so mysterious. Again and again, we see that by doing little things within our grasp
well, large rewards follow. |

Many people think of guys as being carefree when it comes to their appearance. But in fact, a lot of
guys spend plenty of time in front of the mirror. 1 .
Body image is a person"s opinions and feelings about his or her own body and physical appearance. 2 . You appreciate your body for its capabilities and accept its imperfections.
So, what can you do to develop a positive body image? Here are some ideas:
Recognize your strengths. Different body types are good for different things. What does your body
do well? Maybe your speed, strength, or coordination makes you better than others at a certain sport.
That may be basketball, table tennis, mountain biking, dancing, or even running. Or perhaps you have
non-sports skills, like drawing, painting, singing, playing a musical instrument, writing, or acting. 3 .
Exercise regularly. Exercise can help you look good and feel good about yourself. Good physiques
(体形) don"t just happen. 4 . A healthy habit can be as simple as exercising 20 minutes to one hour
three days a week. Working out can also lift your spirits.
Respect your body! Practicing good habits -regular showering; taking care of your teeth, hair, and
skin; wearing clean clothes, and so on -can help you build a positive body image.
5 . Your body is just one part of who you are. Your talent for comedy, a quick wit (智慧), and
all the other things make you unique. So try not to let small imperfections take over.
A. Use this as an opportunity to discover what you"re good at.
B. Be yourself.
C. They care just as much as girls do about their body image.
D. Just explore talents that you feel good about.
E. They take hard work, regular workouts, and a healthy diet.
F. The good news is that self-image and body image can be changed.
G. Having a positive body image means feeling satisfied with the way you look. |
