Directions: Read the following passage and complete the sentences or answer the questions according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
Being able to multitask—doing several things at the same time—is considered a welcome skill by most people. But if we consider the situation of the young people aged from eight to eighteen, we should think again.
What we often see nowadays is that young people juggle an ever larger number of electronic devices(电子产
品)as they study. While working, they also surf on the Internet, send out emails, answer the telephone and listen to music on their iPods. In a sense, they are spending a significant amount of time in fruitless efforts as they multitask.
Multitasking is even changing the relationship between family members. As young people around them
always wear an earphone or headphone in the ear or on the head, listening to music , or playing video games on mobile phones, they can no longer greet family members when they enter the house, nor can they eat at the family table.
Multitasking also affects young people’s performance at university and in the workplace. When asked about
their opinion of the effect of modern gadgets (器具) on their performance of tasks, many young people gave a positive response (反应). However, the response from the worlds of education and business was not quite as positive. Educators feel that multitasking by children has a serious effect on later development of study skills. They believe that many college students now need help to improve their study skills. Similarly, employers feel that young people entering the job market need to be taught all over again, as modern gadgets have made it unnecessary for them to learn special skills to do their work.
1. The underlined word ―juggle‖ in Paragraph 2 most probably means ______________________
2. By saying multitasking is even changing the relationship between family members, the author implies that young people ______________________.
3. What do the young people think of multitasking?
4. What is the educators’ opinion on multitasking by children?
参考答案
1. use at the same time
2. seldom talk with their family members
3. They think it has no bad effect on their work when the multitask..
4.It has a serious effect on later development of study skills./ Multitasking is harmful to young people’s development

Directions: Read the following passage and complete the sentences or answer the questions according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
China faces a new problem with the tainted milk that has sickened babies and damaged public confidence: how to dispose (处理) of polluted stuff. Tens of thousands of tons of milk containing melamine ( 三聚氢胺 ) has been pulled from shelves since September. The Health Ministry has not released a total figure for the amount of impure dairy products recalled and how much has been destroyed. But last month alone, more than 32,000 tons were disposed of in Hebei province, according to Xinhua news agency.
Local governments now face the huge and costly problem of safely disposing of the products. Since many people doubted the government’s food safety standards, Beijing has issued new guidelines on how to destroy the polluted products. The government’s advice: to burn or to bury.
It recommends burning the milk in large-capacity stoves or, if such facilities are not available, burying small amounts in landfills--- as long as local environmental departments approve. Burning or burying breaks down melamine and neutralizes its poison, said a Geneva-based scientist at the WHO’s food safety department. But both methods do not come cheap. Burning the tainted milk costs about US$100 a ton, said an official in Beijing. Putting the milk in landfills is cheaper---about US$29 a ton ---thought there are limits on how much can be buried each day.
Some local authorities have come up with more creative solutions: mixing the tainted milk into cement bricks and even coal. At a factory in the southern city of Guangzhou, tainted milk powder was burned, then mixed into cement, said Guangzhou’s food safety office director.
At a power plant in Qingdao, some eight tons of tainted milk powder was poured into a towering pile of coal, which was then burned to generate electricity. Despite the guidelines on proper disposal of the tainted milk, there have been violations. In Guangzhou, the local government took over responsibility for disposal after a garbage company poured tainted milk in to the city river, causing concerns among residents about the safety of water supply. The company was fined US$29,000.
1. The government’s advice on disposing of the tainted milk is __________________________.
2. What is the disadvantage of the method of burning and burying. And what is the advantage of it?
3. How does the city of Qingdao deal with the tainted milk powder?
4. The passage mainly talking about the problem of __________________________________. Keys
1. to burn or to bury
2. disadvantage: expensive / not cheap
advantage: can break down melamine and neutralize the poison. 3. By burning it with coal to generate power. 4. of how to dispose of the tainted milk.

Directions: Read the following passage and complete the sentences or answer the questions according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
The world’s largest garbage dump doesn’t sit on some barren field outside an urban center. It resides thousands of miles from any land — in the Pacific Ocean.
The dump, known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, stretches for hundreds of miles across the North Pacific Ocean. Roughly the size of Texas, the patch is sometimes referred to as the ―eighth continent.‖ It has quickly come into the spotlight this year, thanks to growing media coverage and teams of scientists who took a voyage in August to study the patch.
The patch contains approximately 3.5 million tons of garbage. Shoes, toys, bags, wrappers, toothbrushes, and bottles too numerous to count are only part of what can be found in this dump floating midway between Hawaii and San Francisco.
But how did so much garbage get there? The garbage patch formed and continues to exist because of ocean currents. The patch moves with the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre, a high pressure zone of air which forces ocean surface currents to move in a slowly clockwise pattern. This creates a whirlpool which sucks garbage from other parts of the ocean into the gyre. The patch is a typical example for a worldwide problem: plastic that begins in human hands yet ends up in the ocean. Organic materials and garbage from other sources will eventually break down, but plastics do not, although they do break into smaller and smaller pieces.
The environmental risks posed by the patch are serious. The area supports minimal sea life, because the garbage patch restricts the limited area of water which sea plants can live in. Other marine life including birds, mammals, fish, and jellyfish also suffers because they mistake the garbage for food. A great deal of marine life is then consumed by humans, resulting in their ingestion of toxic chemicals.

China's planning agency has approved plans for a Disney theme park in Shanghai, the Walt Disney Co. said Wednesday, a major step toward setting a deal for the long awaited project.

Directions: Read the following passage and complete the sentences or answer the questions according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
It’s been 35 years since The Godfather was published and five years since the death of Mario Puzo, who wrote the international best seller. But now one of the most famous Mafia clans in American fiction is back in a new novel, called The Godfather Returns. Author Mark Winegardner was picked by Random House publishers and the Puzo estate, another publishing company to write the book called The Godfather Returns.
Picking up where Mario Puzo left off might seem like a daunting task. The Godfather has sold more than 20 million copies worldwide since it was published in 1969. It also inspired a film that became a classic in its own right, and two movie sequels. Now the new fiction to be written is supposed to cover what was not written in the original novel or the Godfather movies, which is the main intention of the publishers. And of course it would be likely to attract the attention of a huge audience of readers.
But while Mark Winegardner says writing a new novel around those familiar characters might seem like a challenge, it was also a privilege.
Although Mario Puzo collaborated on the Godfather screenplays, he reportedly declined to write a book sequel about the Corleone family. But Jonathan Karp, who served as Mr. Puzo's editor at Random House, was not ready to see the story end.
Mr. Karp: I love the book…I love the characters. I wanted more. I wanted to revisit this world.
Mark Winegardner met those characters when he read The Godfather for the first time at the age of 12. Writing The Godfather Returns gave him a chance to take them in new directions and clear up old mysteries.
Mr. Winegardner: The seeds of that are in The Godfather. At one point Vito says something very vicious about Fredo, and Hagen wonders what it's about. The novel ends, and Puzo never says what secret Vito has about Fredo.
Mr. Winegardner also includes characters resembling real-life figures like F.B.I. director J. Edgar Hoover and the family of President John F. Kennedy.
Reviews has been mixed for The Godfather Returns. Some critics have suggested that the original novel should have been left alone. But Publisher's Weekly bestowed a starred review on Mark Winegardner's story, claiming \book isn't perfect…just nearly so and it is enjoyed by most people who have read it.\pleased with the response so far. Chances are that movies based on the story are intended to be shot pretty soon.
1. What is the mainly purpose of writing the new fiction, The Godfather Returns?
2. It was Random House publishers and the Puzo estate that had Mark Winegardner __________________ _____________________________.
3. Who was it that was strongly for the idea of having The Godfather Returns written and what was his job?
4. The reason why the author of The Godfather Returns is satisfied with the story is that _______________ _______________________________________________. Key:
1.To cover what was not written in the original novel. 2.答句:write the book called The Godfather Returns. 3.答句:Mr. Karp, Mr. Puzo’s editor at Random House. 4.答句:most of the readers enjoy reading it.

Engineering students are supposed to be examples of practicality and rationality, but when it comes to my college education I am an idealist and a fool. In high school I wanted to be an electrical engineer and, of course, any sensible student with my aims would have chosen a college with a large engineering department, famous reputation and lots of good labs and research equipment. But that's not what I did.
I chose to study engineering at a small liberal arts university that doesn't even offer a major in electrical engineering. Obviously, this was not a practical choice; I came here for more noble reasons. I wanted a broad education that would provide me with flexibility and a value system to guide me in my career. I wanted to open my eyes and expand my vision by interacting with people who weren't studying science or engineering.
I headed off to college sure I was going to have an advantage over those students who went to big engineering
