Dear Abby,
This is my first letter to you, although I have been reading your column for many years.
I need
an outside opinion.
I am a grandmother in my 70s and have just returned from visiting my daughter, her hu sband and their three dearly loved children--all under the age of 5--and I'm upset with some of t heir
parenting ways.
For example:
They lock the doors to their children's bedrooms at night because the children might get out
of their beds and wander around the house, and we may not hear them."
If one child should get punishment, all three are punished, and if one child says a naug hty
word, all three are given hot sauce (辣酱汁) in the mouth.
I know these parents love their children very much, but are these ways of disciplining th em
wise? Please understand, it is not my aim to interfere (干涉).
--- Gram
Dear Gram,
Children's bedroom doors should not be locked. Should a flash fire break out, it would b e a
nightmare (可怕的事物).
Punishing all the children when only one has earned the punishment is a good way to make
them grow up to hate each other.
Children who use "naughty" words should not be punished with hot sauce in the mouth-t hey
should be taught the proper and acceptable word to use instead of the "naughty" word.
--- Abby

Computer people talk a lot about the need for other people to become "computer-literate" But
not all experts agree that this is a good idea.
One pioneer, in particular, who disagrees is David Tebbutt, the founder of Computertown
UK. Although many people see this as a successful attempt to bring people closer to the c omputer, David does not see it that way. He says that Computertown UK was formed for just th e opposite
reason, to bring computers to people and make them "people-literate."
David Tebbutt thinks Computertowns are most successful when tied to a computer club but he insists there is an important difference between the two. The clubs are for people who ha ve some computer knowledge already. This frightens away non-experts, who are happier going t o compu- tertowns where there are computers for them to experiment on, with experts to encour age them and answer any questions they have. They are not told what to do, they find out. The computer experts have to learn not to tell people about computers, but have to be able to ans wer all questions people ask. People don't have to learn computer terms, but the experts have t o explain in plain
language. The computers are becoming "people-literate".
1. Which of the following is David Tebbutt's idea on the relationship between people and
computers?
A. Computer learning should be made easier.
B. There should be more computer clubs for experts.
C. People should work harder to master computer use.
D. Computers should be made cheaper so that people can afford them.
2. We can infer from the text that "computer-literate" means __________.
A. being able to afford a computer
B. being able to write computer programs
C. working with the computer and finding out its value
D. understanding the computer and knowing how to use it
3. The underlined word "it" in the second paragraph refers to the idea that computertowns ______.
A. help to set up more computer clubs
B. bring people to learn to use computers
C. bring more experts to work together
D. help to sell computers to the public
4. David Tebbutt started Computertown UK with the purpose of ___________.
A. making better use of computer experts
B. improving computer programs
C. increasing computer sales
D. popularising computers
5, Which of the following is true?
A. All the experts agree computer-literate.
B. Computers should be made cheaper so that people can afford them.
C. David Tebbutt is a pioneer who agrees that we need to make computer people-literate.
D. None of the above.

The Golden Gate Bridge joins the beautiful city of San Francisco with the suburbs (郊区) to the north. Each day, about one hundred thousand cars cross the bridge, taking people to an d from the city. More than half of them cross the bridge during the morning and evening rush h ours, as a
result, the trip is not pleasant.
Now, however there is at least one group of happy commuters (经常来往于郊区者). Thes e are the people who travel under the bridge instead of on it. They go to work by boat and enj oy it so much

The boat they take is the large, quiet, comfortable "Golden Gate". Commuters can enjoy the sun on the boat. In the morning they can have breakfast in the coffee shop, and in the eve ning they can have a drink in the bar while they are looking at San Francisco's famous scene a nd the nearby
hills.
The trip takes only thirty minutes and is not expensive. But best of all, being on a boat seems to make people feel more friendly towards each other. Two commuters who met on the " Golden
Gate" have already got married.

Some English words are made up of the same part and have different beginnings and di fferent endings, such as import, export, report and transport. All these words, you can see, have the same root "port", which comes from the Latin word, meaning "to carry or "to move from o ne place to another. And according to the bit at the beginning--which we call the prefix (前缀) th e meaning changes. "Import" means "to carry in" or "to bring into a country", export, "ex" means "out of", so this word means to carry out of a country, re means back", so the word "report" means "to tell somebody, to bring back information to somebody", transport, "trans" means acros s and it means
to carry across one place to another".
Let's look at the following words: supporter, reporter, importer and exporter. You can see that in this case these words are nouns which are made up of the verbs plus a suffix, thus me aning a person who completes the verb. So supporter means somebody who supports. A reporte r is somebody who reports. Importer is somebody who imports and exporter is somebody who ex ports,
and so on.

Australia, the last continent, was discovered by ships belonging to some European nation s in
the seventeenth century. These nations were less interested in changing it into a colony th an in
exploring it. As in the early history of the United States, it was the English who set up the settle- ments in Australia. This history and the geography of these two British colonies have so me
other things in common as well.
Australia and the United States are about the same in size, and their western lands are both not rich in soil. It was the eastern coast of Australia and America that the English first settl ed, and both colonies soon began to develop towards the west. However, this westward moveme nt took place more because the English were searching for better land than because the populati on was increasing. Settlements of the western part of both countries developed quickly after gold was
discovered in America in 1849 and in Australia two years later.
Although the development of these two countries has a lot in common, there are some s triking differences as well. The United States gained its independence from England by revolution while Australia won its independence without having to go to war. Australia, unlike the United St ates, was firstly turned into a colony by English prisoners and its economic development was in wheat growing and sheep raising. By 1922, for example, Australia had fifteen times more sheep t han it had people, or almost half as many sheep as there are people today in the United States. Yet, in spite of these and other main differences, Australia and the United States have more in common
with each other than either one has with most of the rest of the world.
1. Who turned Australia into a colony?
A. Britain.
B. Several European countries.
C. The United States of America.
D. None of the above.
2. In the early history of America and Australia, both colonies developed towards the west f irstly
for the reason that ____________.
A. the population was increasing rapidly in the east

C. gold was discovered there
D. fewer people lived there
3. In the early 1920s,___________.
A. Australia had one fifteenth as many people as sheep
B. there were more sheep in Australia than in the United States
C. the population in Australia was larger than that of the United States
D. the United States had twice as many sheep as people
4. Australia, unlike the United States, _____________.
A. won its independence by peaceful means

In the Western society, as well as in the Eastern society, many grown-ups have been t aught not to cry, or to have even forgotten how to cry. This is very unfortunate, because, althou gh it may have been necessary at one point to learn to hold back one's tears, the ability to cry is actually very human. It is a natural thing, and is one of the special ways nature has given us to cure ourselves of
the hurts we receive in the course of living.
If crying is helpful in the curing of physical ills, we can easily imagine the importance of tears and the ability to cry in the curing of emotional (情感的) ills, and in problems with our ow n emoti-
onal well-being as well. You may have observed this in your personal life. For example, m any times after a good cry, we can think more clearly or feel more lighthearted, or sleep more easily,
because some kind of load has been lightened from within.
1. A lot of grown-ups have been advised __________

Have you been thinking of planting a few trees on National Tree Planting Day? Be awar e: this
may not be the most efficient way to make your home a greener place.
National Tree Planting Day, held on March 12 every year, has raised awareness of
environmental protection in China. Each year, millions of volunteers, both old and young, pl ant
trees in school playgrounds, parks, city gardens and the countryside.
Volunteers in China have planted 35 billion trees since the first National Tree Planting D ay in
1981, the latest official statistics show.
But last week, reporters from Beijing Youth Daily visited a bush nursery in Fengning Cou nty
in Hebei Province. The nursery is home to I ,000 little trees planted by students from Beijin g last
March. The reporters could hardly believe their eyes for they found most of the trees had been
burned.
Local residents told the reporters that the trees died from lack of water very soon after t hey
were planted. So local people burned them and cleared the area for new trees to be plant ed this
year. On a label found in the tree ashes, a student wrote: "I hope this tree will grow up wi th me
to the backbone (桥梁) of my homeland."
Zhou Bing is an engineer at the Beijing Forestry. Bureau. She thinks that it is the surviv al of
the trees that really matters, rather than how many trees are planted. She suggests that vo lunteers
contact local organizations and ask professionals to look after the trees. Environmental prot ection organizations in Beijing are promoting a new project this March. It allows volunteers to ad opt an area by donating money to a special fund. Volunteers can choose an area on the map a nd let
professionals plant and take care of the trees.
1. National Tree Planting Day __________.

New ways of building are being tried out everywhere. There are many new shows to wat ch!
In England, I saw a 17-story building made right on the ground. First, the workers dug a deep hole. They built the basement. This work was the same as on any building. From then on, the work
was not the same.
On the ground, the men set 40 big jacks (千斤顶). You know what a car jack does. It lift s a car. These big jacks were to lift each floor of the building. On top of the 40 jacks, the men first built a
roof. Yes, the roof of the building !
What next? The jacks lifted the floor one story high. Then the builders worked on this flo or. It
was not the bottom floor of the building. Not at all! It was the top floor. It was on the grou nd then. But it was going to be floor 17. The jacks lifted floor 17. Under it, the workers built floo r 16. They
built it fight on the ground, too.
When floor 16 was done, the jacks lifted it. Under floor 16, the men built floor 15. And s o it
went. The bottom floor of the building was made last.
The work went quickly. Under the roof, the men worked even in rain or snow. They didn't need
to climb to high places. And trucks brought things right to them.
It took only one man to work the jacks. He just pushed a button. Right away, the jacks b egan to
lift.
In the United States, also, some builders use big jacks. But the jacks are above the floor s, not under them. The floors are made of concerete (混凝土). They are made on the ground, o ne on top of
another. Strong posts run through them.
At first, the floors look like a big pile of pancakes, as the picture shows. Then jacks at th e top
of the posts lift each floor into place. The top floor makes the roof.
In Texas, I saw a roof made in a new way. A helicopter flew over the building, again an d again. Each time, it stopped to put a piece of the roof into place. The helicopter was like a bi rd building a
nest.
What a funny way to make a roof! But the helicopter built in one morning. To make a ro of like
this, builders take weeks.
1. What might people feel is the most special and interesting thing in the new ways of buil ding?
A. The floor are made of concrete.
B. The roof is built first and on the ground.
C. Jacks are used for building.
D. The building is completed in a short time.
2. What can we infer about the new way of building the writer saw in England?
A. The workers never needed to get to high places during the whole course of the buildin g.
B. The jacks were controlled by machines.
C. The ground floor was made first.
D. Each floor was really one big piece.
3. What is the purpose of the writer in writing this passage?
A. To suggest a new way of building.
B. To show the advantages of modem mach ines.
C. Just to introduce some new ways of building.
D. To show the power of imagina tion.

Hou Yuanming is bargaining with a buyer over a university textbook. He insists on four yuan.
"You'll never find such a fine book as this one." he says to his customer.
Anyone mistaking Hou for a professional merchant cannot be further from the troth.
Hou is a junior majoring (主修) in Russian and is just one of the many students who sol d their
second-hand books on campus at Peking University recently.
Normally large-scale book fairs (市集) come at the end of the academic year (学年) when many students are set to leave university for good. But this year it occurred just after a new flo ck (批) of

Readers' Digest and Time," said Hou.
Hou says that not only books are popular at the fair. There is also a widespread deman d for
music and language learning tapes.
Liu Wuan, a senior majoring in urban environmental (城市环境) science, seems to be sat isfied
with her role as a book seller.
"It is a win-win deal--the buyers get the books at a low price, and the student sellers ar e
grateful to earn a bit of money," she said.
In addition to being a place for exchanging books, the book fair is also a place where o lder
students and freshmen can bond (交往). Yu Haibo, a junior in the department of urban envi ron- mental science at Peking University, said: "I enjoy being able to help my 'sisters' and 'broth ers'
with my used books."

今天你“低碳”了吗 今天你“低碳”了吗 ①盘点2009年的关键词，“低碳”无疑是人们耳熟能详的词汇之一。“低碳经济”、“碳交易”、“碳汇”等概念正日益进入公众的生活。 ②所谓低碳，是指较低(更低)的温室气体(以二氧化碳为主排放)低碳生活作为一种生活方式，其实就是指减少二氧化碳的排放，低能量、低消耗、低开支的生活方式。实现“低碳生活”最根本的因素是人。每个公民都应从日常生活的点滴做起，改变固有的生活习惯。做一名“低碳生活”的践行者，并落实到吃、穿、用、住、行等各个消费领域。 ③低碳生活是一种生活方式，也是一种社会责任。一个人节约一度电、一杯水，意义可能并不显见，但是，人人都自觉践行，汇聚起来，其效益就不可低估。以塑料袋的使用为例，自限塑令执行一年多以来。超市塑料袋使用量减少了2／3左右，相当于节约石油240万一300万吨，减排了二氧化碳120万一l50万吨。再以去年夏季提倡的调高空调温度为例，据测算，当空调从24℃提高到26℃。仅北京就可以节约4亿度以上的耗电量，减排二氧化碳35万吨。单纯的数字只能说明集腋成裘的效益，广泛的宣传发动则会激发公众环保意识的觉醒。回顾2009年“为地球熄灯一小时”的活动，我国民众表现出空前的关注与支持。在2009年3月28日晚20：30_-21：30。诸多夜景工程绚烂的灯光瞬间熄灭，突然的漆黑与静谧却更让人感到美丽与震撼，也展示出广大民众对节能减排、应对全球气候变化的无声的支持。也许这一活动所节约的能源无法精确统计，但由此而产生的宣传示范效应却远远大于单纯的数字所体现出来的意义。 ④低碳生活是一种观念引领，也是一种自觉行动。不论是政府主导，还是媒体参与，都应当努力营造“低碳”环境的舆论氛围，向每一个市民普及低碳生活的科技知识，倡导公民养成低碳生活方式。比如，妓励“公交优先”，推广示范节能和斯能源汽车；少开私家车，完善试点城区自行车租借服务体系；编制“低碳生活家庭行为手册”。不仅告诉人们，你可以为低碳做些什么，还告诉人们，你可以怎么做。中国人自古就有勤奋节俭的优良品质，只要稍加引导就会形成一种文化自觉，产生巨大的社会效益。对地球家园的关心与爱护实际上是对人类自身的关心与爱护，这正是低碳生活的价值所在。 ⑤低碳生活是一种生活习惯，也是一种环保理念。当下不妨先从联合国环境规划署2008年对个人采取“低碳生活方式”提出的7项小建议做起——使用传统的发条式闹钟替代电子钟。每天可减少大约48克的碳排放量；使用传统牙刷替代电动牙刷。每天可减少48克碳排放量；把在电动跑步机上45分钟的锻炼改为到附近公园慢跑，可减少将近l000克的碳排放量：去8公里以外的地方，乘坐轨道交通比采汽车减少l700克的碳排放量：不用洗衣机甩干衣服，可减少2300克的二氧化碳排放量；在午餐体息时和下班后关闭电脑及显示器，除省电外还可将电器的二氧化碳排放量减少三分之一；改用节水型淋浴喷头，不仅可以节水，还可把三分钟热水淋浴所导致的二氧化碳排放量减少一半。低碳生活不仅能够精确计算出人们生活中的二氧化碳排放量。而且能够以自己的生活细节的改变来证明：气候变化不只是政府官员、专家学者关心的问题，更与每个人息息相关。 (摘自《科学与文化》2010年第3期) 1．本文是事理说明文，其说明的中心内容是什么？(3分) 2．第③段中连举三个例子，是为了说明_________________________________。 (2分) 3．文中画线句运用了多种说明方法，请指出其中两种并说明其作用。(4分) 说明方法( )作用：_________________________________

Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up in the 1960s. At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks (网络) didn't work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sent through another part. In this way computer network system would keep on working all the time. At first the Internet was only used by the government, but, in the early 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks were allowed to use it too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of the 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had also developed software that made 'surfing' (浏览) the Internet more convenient. Today it is easy to get on-line (上网) and it is said that millions of people use the Internet everyday. Sending e-mail is more and more popular among students. The Internet has now become one of the most important parts of people's life. 判断下列句子是否符合短文内容，符合的用“T”表示，不符合的用“F”表示。 l. The Internet has a history of less than thirty years. T F 2. In the 1960s computer networks went wrong easily. T F 3. Computers become cheaper so that many hospitals and banks were allowed to use them. T F 4. People didn't have enough software to get on-line conveniently until the early 1990s.
