阅读理解。     Most American teenagers used to spend their summer vacations holding multiple jobs. However, with the
increase in gas prices, teenagers chose to stay at home instead of going out of the town."I wish the prices
would _____.The expense of driving to places is affecting our daily life."said Alicia, still a senior at Enochs
High School in Modesto, California.
     Alicia, who spent her summer at her dad"s house, said that there would be no point in getting a job."The
drive to my workplace is so long that I would hardly be making any profit because all my money would be
going toward gas,"she said.
     Teenagers are now forced to give up the pleasure of driving around the town without purpose."Instead
of driving around looking for something to do, I now find myself planning the way in advance so I don"t
waste necessary gas," said Stephen Macko, a student at Davis High School in Modesto. What kinds of things
are teenagers doing in order to conserve gas? Alicia saves gas by doing all of her things at one time so she
doesn"t have to go home and leave again.
     "I try to do it all in one trip so I don"t have to always be running around and wasting gas,"she said. "I know
that when I go to lunch with my friends, we make sure to go somewhere near all of our houses so we save
gas.""But it"s hard, considering I drive a big truck. I also try to get a lift from my friends when they are going
to places that I am going to."said Stephen. Some try not to accelerate too much. Teenagers will have to
continue changing their lifestyles unless the price of gas decreases. However, that might not be a bad thing.

Lawmakers in the United States have expanded an investigation into the use of location-tracking systems on mobile devices. The action follows recent reports about the storing of information on the Apple iPhone. Some people consider location tracking to be a threat to personal privacy and security. Allan Friedman, the research director, says,"All wireless companies do some location tracking as part of their networks. This information is usually stored by the companies, not the devices, and there are laws to protect it. Law enforcement (执法) agencies, for example, have to have a fairly high standard before it can access that data. And the phone company is also prohibited from selling that information. Now, two researchers report that location tracking information is being stored directly on Apple devices. They said Apple"s newest operating systems gather global positioning system and timestamp information. The information is stored on the device in a file that is also uploaded (上传) to any computer that the device is connected to. The researchers say the information is available to anyone who has access to the device or computer. Allan Friedman says,"This raises additional concerns. There"s the idea that because it"s on my phone and on my computer, rogue applications (恶意程序) that I pay for or that I"m tricked into downloading may be able to access this data and somehow misuse it." Apple says it is "not tracking the location of your iPhone". It is simply keeping a database of Wi-Fi hotspots and cellphone towers near the user"s location. This information is meant to help the iPhone quickly find its location when needed. Letters have been sent to some of the leading mobile device developers, including Apple and Google. The letters asked for more information about their location tracking systems. Allan Friedman calls this an important start to strengthening privacy laws. He says,"There aren"t strong controls over things like location information, what they are doing with it, how long they are keeping it. And perhaps the most important question is, is my location data with other facts about me?"
1. Why did American lawmakers investigate the use of location-tracking systems on cell-phones?
A. Because the systems can store users" information B. Because many users have suffered loss after using them. C. Because it is thought to threaten users" privacy. D. Because many reporters have shown the problem of the systems.
2. Allan Friedman believes that _______.
A. wireless companies focus on personal privacy. B. people are forbidden to get access to private data at will C. phone companies may sell private information secretly D. customers may ask wireless companies to locate their tracking
3. What do we know from Paragraph 3?
A. Location tracking information is stored online. B. Apple"s newest operating systems collect all kinds of information. C. Location tracking information may be uploaded to any iPhone. D. Apple"s newest operating systems may reveal the private information of users.
4. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Apple denies that it tracks the location of users. B. The researchers may misunderstand the Apple"s systems. C. The global positioning system is to blame for rogue applications. D. The iPhone can quickly find its location by using its user"s information.

If you"re into sports, you"ve seen it happen. You"ve probably even experienced it: basketball players shaking hands after four quarters of knocking each other around, tennis players leaping over the net to shake hands with their opponents (对手) after a hard-fought match, soccer players exchanging sport shirts after an intense 90 minutes, even boxers touching gloves at the beginning of each round, then hugging each other after beating each other into a pulp for 12 rounds. It seems like competitors in every event, from spelling bees to hockey, behave this way. What"s going on? It"s all part of sportsmanship, a great tradition in sports and competition that means playing clean and handling both victory and defeat with grace, style, and dignity. What is sportsmanship? Sportsmanship is defined as: playing fair, following the rules of the game, respecting the judgment of referees and officials, treating opponents with respect. Some people define good sportsmanship as the "golden rule" of sports-in other words, treating the people you play with and against as you"d like to be treated yourself. You demonstrate good sportsmanship when you show respect for yourself, your teammates, and your opponents, for the coaches on both sides, and for the referees, judges, and other officials. But sportsmanship isn"t just reserved for the people on the field. Cheerleaders and fans also need to be aware of how they behave during competition. Sportsmanship is a style and an attitude; and it can have a positive influence on everyone around you. Learning good sportsmanship means finding that the positive attitude learned on the field carries over into other areas of life. At school, for example, you"re able to appreciate the contributions made by classmates and know how to work as part of a team to complete a project. You may enjoy more success at work as well, because a big part of learning good sportsmanship is learning to be respectful of others, including customers and co-workers.

"In only six days I lost seven pounds of weight." "Two full inches in the first three days!" These are the kinds of statements used in magazine, newspaper, radio and television ads, promising new shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device. The promoters of products say they can shape the legs, slim the face, smooth wrinkles, or in some other way to beauty or desirability. Often such products are nothing more than money-making things for their promoter. Where they produce are questionable, and some are dangerous to health.

If the product is a drug, FDA (Food Drug Administration) can require proof (证明) under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act that safe and effective before it is put on the market. But if the product is a device, FDA has no author to require premarketing proof of safety or effectiveness. If a product already on the marker danger to health, FDA can request the producer or distributor to remove it from the market voluntarily, or it can take legal action, including seizure (查封) of the product. One notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor, had been sold for reducing the waistline. The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the customers through contact pads. FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the products to the grounds that it was dangerous to health and life. Obviously, most of the devices on the maker have never been the subject of court proceedings (法律诉讼), and new devices appear continually. Before buying, it is up to the consumer to the safety or effectiveness of such items.
