Leading experts on the Internet, technology and policy have shared the same opinion on what we can expect in the next decade when it comes to connectivity and its effects on society.

The Pew Research Center report asked thousands of experts and members of the public for opinions on “the most significant overall influences of our uses of the Internet on humanity” — and some had a rosier outlook than others.

“The smartest person in the world nowadays could well be stuck behind a plough in India or China，” said Hal, Google's chief economist.“Enabling that person — and the millions like him or her — will have a strong effect on the development of the human race.”

Early Internet pioneer David Hughes agreed: “When every person on this planet can communicate two-way

with every other person on this planet, the power of nation states to control every human inside its geographic boundaries may start to disappear.”

Wearables (electronic equipment that people can wear) could monitor more than just steps, predicted UC Berkeley's Aron Roberts — or do more than just monitor: “We may literally be able to adjust both medications and lifestyle changes on a day-by-day basis or even an hour-by-hour basis.”

Microsoft Research's Jonathan Grudin is more pessimistic (悲观的): “By making so much activity visible, it exposes the gap between the way people behave and the way we think they ought to behave.Adjusting to this will be an unending, difficult task.”

And the difference between the rich and the poor will have a new aspect: “Only the well-off (and

well-educated) will know how to preserve their privacy，” warned one expert.“Will the Internet make it possible for our entire civilization to fall down together, in one big awful step? Possibly，” admitted Harvard's Doctor Searles.“But the Internet has already made it possible for us to use one of our unique advantages — the ability to share knowledge — to a degree higher than ever before.”

36．According to Hal, in the future, those who will influence the development of human race are________． A．Google's economists B．Chinese and Indians C．the educated persons D．world leading experts

37．People will be able to change their lifestyles at any time according to________． A．the development of communication skills B．the suggestions made by computer experts C．the prediction made by the home computers

D．the data recorded by the computers worn on body

38．The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 6 refers to________． A．the visible activities mentioned above B．the way we thought they ought to behave C．the way people really behave in life D．the rule people ought to obey in life

39．Which of the following can best express the meaning of the last paragraph? A．Advantages and disadvantages of the Internet. B．Development of the Internet and human beings.

C．Knowledge and civilization of human beings. D．Possibilities of the Internet for the future users.

It's been said that life turns on small things. Sometimes it's hard to see how small choices can change your life. But when put together over time, the little things can make the biggest difference.

The theme of SuccessforTeens is “Little Things Matter.” The book helps teens identify small, positive choices they can make in their lives to help them reach their goals. Lots of teens don't realize how the little choices in their lives can have lasting effects. Often they are focused on the bigger events, such as a major exam, the big game or competition, or choosing a college. The little things, however, can go unnoticed unless your teen understands how important they can be.

The little things that lead to success are mostly easy to do. Help your teen identify a few areas in everyday life where he or she can make small, positive choices. It might be as simple as getting up on time, prioritizing (按重要性排列) their schoolwork, putting in an extra 10 minutes of practice or using some spare time to help someone else.

Nineteen-year-old Kyle Freas used to be on his school baseball team and would play every day after school. When the season was over, he had an empty three hours a day, so he started spending one third of such extra time daily, looking for ways to help other kids. Over the last few years, his project has raised thousands of dollars to help abused, homeless and sick children. Kyle spent just a little time each day doing something that ended up benefiting a lot of kids. The important thing to understand is that Kyle made the small and positive decisions necessary for success.

Make sure your child understands that even though the results of the positive choices may not be seen right away, they are building on each other and taking him or her on a path that will lead to success.

40．We learn from Paragraph 2 that ________．

A．dealing with big events is most important in one's life B．little choices seldom have lasting effects on one's life C．teens should try to focus their attention on big choices D．many teens fail to realize the importance of little choices

41．Which of the following words can be used to describe Kyle Freas? A．Kind-hearted. B．Creative. C．Naughty. D．Self-confident.

42．The author mainly discusses the relationship between ________. A．little choices and big choices B．teens' goals and their actions C．positive and negative decisions D．small positive choices and success

43．The text is most probably written for ________． A．teenagers B．parents C．pupils D．teachers

Want to improve your math skills without working hard? Simply zap (击打) the brain with a weak current of electricity and then, all your problems will be solved! At least that's the claim being made by a team of British scientists from London's Oxford University.

The main aim of the experiment, conducted on a group of student volunteers from Oxford University and University College London, was to test if parts of the brain could be shocked into getting it to work better with numbers.

To test this, 15 students, divided into three groups, were asked to solve the same two mathematical problems every day for a week. The problems, which involved identifying the larger of two numbers and plotting one on a number line, were made a little more challenging by replacing the numbers 1-9 with symbols.

However, before starting the test, two of the groups were subjected to a 20-minute session of a light electric current to the parietal lobe, which the scientists believe is the brain's number cruncher (能迅速运算者). For the first group the current flow was passed right to left, while for the second it was transmitted left to right. The third group received no help at all.

The group that got zapped right to left seemed to show an amazing improvement in their math skills. However, the ones that got zapped left to right were reduced to the level of almost six-year olds! The results for
