ASomeday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan theWebsite you’ve visited，Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.In fact, it’s likely some of these things have already happened to you. Whowould watch you without your permission? It might be a spouse, a girl friend, amarketing company, a boss, a cop or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in away you never intended to be seen --- the 21st century equivalent of being caughtnaked.Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, that it's important to reveal yourselfto friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times.But few boundaries remain. The digital bread crumbs (碎屑) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can reveal what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.The key question is: Does that matter?For many Americans, the answer apparently is “no.”When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concernedabout losing it. A survey found an overwhelming pessimism about privacy, with 60percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is “slipping away, and thatbothers me.”But people say one thing and do another. Only a tiny fraction of Americanschange any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths (收费站) to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acauisti has run a series of tests that reveal people willsurrender personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon (优惠卷).But privacy does matter - at least som etimes. It’s like health: When you have it, you don’t notice it. Only when it’s gone do you wish you’d done more to protect it.36.What does the author mean by saying “the 21st century equivalent of beingcaught naked” (Lines 3-4, Para. 2)?A.

Friends should always be faithful to each other.C. There should be a distance even between friends.D. There should be fewer disputes between friends.38.Why does the author say “we live in a world where you simply cannot keep asecret” ( Line5, para. 3)?A. Modern society has finally evolved into an open society.B. People leave traces around when using modern technology.C. There are always people who are curious about others’ affairs.D.Many search engines profit by revealing people’s identities.39.What do most Americans do with regard to privacy protection?A.

It can calm our tired nerves after a busy day of work. Music even has the power to move us to tears when it stirs (激起) an emotional (情绪上的,情感上的) reaction. How then, does music play a role in special education?If music has the ability to touch those hidden places we all carry inside, it proves an important tool for the special education teacher. For students with emotional problems, music can help soothe (抚慰) sadness. Consider the child that arrives in class depressed and upset. If music can indeed relax and calm him, he is more likely to focus and participate in class.Dr. R. Joseph, author of Behavioral Neurology, writes, "It is well recorded that patients with left hemisphere (大脑半球) damage, who may be unable to speak or recognize words, can sing a melody (曲调)."For this reason, some special education teachers have found it helpful to set their lessons to music. When students cannot understand or remember certain things, singing them helps to make it easier.Nature magazine reported "Music training helps underachievers. In Rhode Island, researchers studied eight public school first grade classes. Half of the classes became 'text-arts' groups, receiving ongoing music training. After seven months, the students were given a test. The tested group had caught up with their fellow students in reading and surpassed (超过) their classmates in math by 22 percent. In the second year of the project, the tested students widened this even further. Students were also tested on attitude and behavior. Classroom teachers also noted improvement in these areas."It seems music does, indeed, play an important role in education. For the special education teacher, this is especially encouraging..41.

This article gives some suggestions on how to give an effective speech.So, you have to give a speech and you’re terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank goodness, it’s over. I’m just no good at publicspeaking. I hope I never have to do that again. ”Cheer up! It doesn’t have to be that bad. Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of time doing your research. Then spend plenty of time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they will help you make your points more clearly. Never forget your audience. Don’t talk over their heads, and don’t talk down to them. Treat your audience with res pect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.Just remember: be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief. Say what you have to say and then stop. And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to -person contact with your audience.If you follow these simple steps, you’ll see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You’re not convinced yet? Gi ve it a try and see what happens.46.

Try to Enjoy a SpeechDDoctors in Britain are warning of an obesity time bomb, when children who are already overweight grow up. So, what should we do? Exercise more? Eat less? Or both? The government feels it has to take responsibility for this expanding problem.The cheerful Mr. Pickwick, the hero of the novel by Charles Dickens, is seen in illustrations as someone who is plump and happy. In 18th century paintings, beauty is equated （使…等同）with rounded bodies and soft curves. But nowadays being overweight is seen as indicating neither a cheerful character nor beauty but an increased risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes.So what do you do? Diet? Not according to England's chief medical officer, Sir Liam Donaldson. He says that physical activity is the key for reducing the risks of obesity, cancer and heart disease. And the Health Secretary John Reid even said that being inactive is as serious a risk factor in heart disease as smoking.So, having bought some cross trainers, how much exercise should you do? According to Sir Liam Donaldson, at least 30 minutes of moderate activity five days a week. Is going to the gym the answer? Luckily for those who think that runningmachines are boring, the Health Development Agency believes that physical activity that fits into people's lives may be more effective. They suggest taking the stairs rather than the lift, walking up escalators, playing active games with your children, dancing or gardening. And according to a sports psychologist, Professor Biddle, gyms "are not making the nation fit", and may even cause harm.There's new scientific evidence that too much exercise may actually be bad for you. Scientists at the University of Ulster have found that unsuitable exercise releases dangerous free radicals that can adversely （oppositely）affect normal function in unfit people. The only people who should push their bodies to that level of exercise on a regular basis are trained athletes.So, should we forget about gyms and follow some expert's advice to reduce sedentary （久坐不动的）activities and increase exercise in our daily life? After all, getting off the bus a stop early and walking the rest of the way can't do any harm! One final thought. How come past generations lacked gym facilities but were leaner and fitter than people today? .51.Mr.Pickwick and the paintings of the 18m century are used as examples to show that_____.A. beauty should be overweightB. a fat man is usually a cheerful characterC. fatness was considered something good at one timeD. fatness leads to an increased risk of disease52.According to Sir Liam Donaldson, we should_____.A. go on a dietB. do regular physical activityC. give up smokingD. go to the gym53.The underlined phrase cross trainers probably refers to _____.A. people who help you do exerciseB. places where youcan do exerciseC. a kind of shoesD. a form of vehicles54.At present being overweight indicates _____.A. an increased risk of diseasesB. a happier lifeC. a cheerful characterD. a beauty55.What is the passage mainly about?A. how to keep fit and avoid fatness.B. increased risks for overweight people.C. the dangers of exercise in the gym.D. the benefit of a balanced diet.阅读理解36-55 ACBDD DACBD A A DBB CBCAA。
