How Will Our Life Go on without Internet?
If asked whether the Internet is the greatest discovery of the 20th century, my answer would be yes. The Internet has drawn the world closer together, realized countless incredible dreams, and provided modern people with a great many conveniences and a brilliant life.
Today, many people simply feel they cannot live without the Internet. Governments publish their latest policies and decisions online for worldwide recognition. Political campaigns are often done online to gain wider public support. Companies and enterprises resort to the Internet for more business opportunities and potential customers home and abroad. Universities and researchers turn to the Internet if they’d seek international cooperation or funding. Common folks like us also rely on the cyber world in various ways, for communication, entertainment, banking and shopping.
True, the power of the Internet is all pervasive and its many negative effects are already visible. For example, Internet addicts tend to withdraw to their own fantasy world rather than communicate with a real person. Children are exposed to online pornography and violence. Internet frauds are an everyday occurrence. In view of all this, you are advised to use the Internet with wisdom. Keep it at a safe distance and never lose yourself.

As is clearly depicted in the above picture, a daughter tells his mother a piece of good news that she has been admitted to a university as her mother desires. There is no denial in saying that the cartoon leaves us such a deep impression that we cannot help thinking over a question: What role should parents play in their children’s growth?
From my point of view, during the process of a child’s growth, the role of parents is mainly listed as the following two aspects. On one hand, there is no doubt that parents are liable to take good care of their children. On the other hand, in children’s personal growth, parents ought to play a role as a person who helps children develop self-dependence, which carries more significant to children’s future life. In other words, parents should encourage their sons or daughters to be independent rather than reliant on others.
To conclude, in children’s personal growth, parents are responsible to care for their children. However, considering that they will grow up and live their own life in some day, parents should enable their children to acquire the ability to be self-independent.
Go to school, the right choice
As is vividly depicted in the cartoon given above, we can observe that a son, holding a smart phone, says to his mom, “why am I going to school if my phone already knows everything?” there is no doubt that the picture strongly reflects that phenomenon that more and more students object the idea of going to school when they have a phone, which can help them know everything. However, it is by no means a sensible idea.
It is generally acknowledged that going to school is not outdated. Whereas, it will remain as vital as it used to be. To begin with, going to school makes it possible to study with classmates and make progress together. As the old saying goes, “many hands make light work.” If students can study together, they can arouse the interest and cooperate with each other, thus making study more easy and enjoyable. What’s more, going to school means the face-to-face communication. It goes without saying that this way is more direct and effective, where we can raise questions and solve all the questions on spot. Last but not least, mobile phones cannot replace school. When using mobile phones. There are more chances for students to distract their attention. In addition, they may easily addicted to the games on the phone.
On the whole, as far as I am concerned, mobile phones do help us study in some ways. Nevertheless, it can by no means replace go to school. Going to school is the sensible choice. And school is the place where you can benefit the most.

On a hot summer day in America a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming hole behind his house. He dived into the cool water, not realizing that as he swam towards the middle of the lake, a crocodile (鳄鱼) was swimming toward him.
His mother in the house was looking out of the window and saw the two as they got closer and closer. In great fear, she ran toward the water, shouting to her son as loudly as she could. Hearing her voice, the little boy became alarmed and made a U-turn to swim to his mother. It was too late. Just as he reached her, the crocodile reached him. From the shore, the mother grabbed her little boy by the arms just as the crocodile snatched his legs. That began an incredible tug-of-war (拔河) between the two. The crocodile was much stronger than the mother, but the mother was much too passionate to let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard their screams, raced from his truck, took aim and shot the crocodile.
Remarkably, after weeks and weeks in the hospital, the little boy survived. His legs were extremely scarred by the attack of the animal. And, on his arms, were deep scratches where his mother's fingernails dug into his flesh in her effort to hang on to the son she loved.
The newspaper reporter, who interviewed the boy, asked if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted his legs. And then, with obvious pride, he said to the reporter, “But look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my Mom wouldn’t let go.”

Studying abroad will shape you in various ways. You will learn things you never would have if you had stayed home. When you are young and unattached, you should travel. Besides, you just might save a large sum of money. College is expensive in the United States. It’s cheap or free in other countries even for foreigners, so why not get out of here and come back smarter?
More and more American students are currently studying at German colleges. That number has increased 20% over the last three years. Living costs are about $7,000 a year, which is even lower than in other European countries. Germany encourages international students. They create a multicultural landscape that benefits German students as well. According to a new report, Germany is home to six of the world’s 100 best universities. These schools offer around 900 degrees completely in English and many German students speak the language.
You could be part of Finland’s excellent education system. The Finns charge no tuition and offer a number of courses purely in English. They would be happy for you to add flavor to their school scene. Cost of living there is high. Be prepared for frosty winters that far north, but you will get that sweet midnight sun in the summer.
Many other European nations offer cheap or free college for foreign students, but if South America is more your thing, try Brazil. Most of the education will take place in Portuguese, so if that is in your plan you can study near beautiful beaches and jungles. The University of Sao Paulo and State University of Campinas are both highly ranked internationally. Your money will go a long way there, too.
Many of the lessons you will learn will be outside the classroom. Living on the economy in a foreign country will keep you on your toes. You will learn new customs, how to bargain, stay safe, budget and become more flexible with people. There is no better way to learn a language than by immersing yourself in it. At first, it will be the toughest thing you have ever done. Eventually, it will become second nature.
8．German universities are popular among US students mainly because _________.
A. they offer a multicultural landscape

C. the cost of living there is reasonable
D. the students can get their degrees easily

D. Cost of living in Finland is high because of its special climate.
11．What is the author’s attitude in the last paragraph?
A. Critical.B. Encouraging.
C. Doubtful.D. Objective.
For many men, the idea that they have a better sense of direction than women has been improved by a scientific study.
Researchers from Norway scanned on the brains of volunteers as they completed navigation (导航) tasks to discover men are more skillful at finding their way because they use a separate part of their brain. According to lead researcher Dr. Cal Pintzka from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), men and women have different navigational strategies.
Med use basic directions—the use of north, south, east and west—during navigation to a greater degree. Men’s sense of direction was more effective. They quite simply got to their destination faster. “If they’re going to the Students Society building in Trodheim, for example, men usually go into the general direction where it is located.” Dr. Pintzka explain
Women usually orient (标定方向) themselves along a route to get there, for example, go past the hairdresser and then up the street and turn right after the shore. The study shows that using the basic directions is more efficient because it is a more flexible strategy. The destination can be reached faster because the strategy depends less on where you start.
Meanwhile, the study also shows both men and women use large areas of the brain when they navigate, but some areas were different. The man used the hippocampus (海马体) more, whereas women use their frontal areas to a greater extent. That degrees with the fact that the hippocampus is necessary to make use of basic directions. Losing one’s sense of direction is one of the first symptoms in Alzheimer’s disease. Understanding how men and women use different brain areas and strategies to navigate, researchers will be able to enhance the understand of the disease’s development, and develop coping strategies for those already affected.
12． How are men different from women in navigation?
A. They use a separate part of their brain.
B. They deal with navigation in complex ways.
C. They make different actions to the road signs.
D. They form different images of road conditions.
13． What strategy do men usually take to find a place?
A. Finding out all possible routes.
B. Remembering all the landmarks.
C. Making out the general direction.
D. Drawing a general map of the place.
14．Why is men’s strategy more efficient?
A. Because it is much easier to be carried out.
B. Because it is more helpful to identify roads.
C. Because it is simpler for telling directions.
D. Because it is less limited by the starting place.
15．What does the passage mainly tell us?
A. Getting to the destination is no more a difficult thing.
B. Men have a better sense of direction than women.
C. Alzheimer’s disease can be prevented effectively.
D. Hippocampus is playing a key role in navigation.
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Many of us feel sleepy in winter, but other species often take it a step further and hibernate (冬眠). 16． The body slows down and breathing, temperature and metabolic and heart rate all decrease. Dormice (睡鼠) head underground and hedgehogs (刺猬) hunker down in their nests.
Hibernation seems to do them good. But human cannot bed down for long periods.
17． To work out why we do not, first we need to find out why animals do. The most obvious reason for hibernating is to avoid the cold. Conditions are harsh and there is little food to eat, as fewer plants are growing. 18．Then they live off body-fat reserves until it’s time to wake up.
But a 2015 study of dormice found that they continued hibernating even when cold conditions had ended. 19． The key issue seemed to be connected with their main food: beech trees. The dormice need their seeds to reproduce, or for the baby dormice to gain enough body fat. In a harvest year, they produce plenty of seeds. Somehow the dormice could predict it. Otherwise, they stop reproduction these years and increase their survival by staying underground.
20． By staying out of sight, the dormice avoided being hunted by their predators (天敌) like owls. Until recently people thought hibernation was just about energy saving, a defense against cold weather and food shortage, and now we think it’s more predator avoidance. The survival rates in hibernation are close to 100%.
A. So obviously there are other reasons.
B. They were hibernating underground to save energy.
C. Hibernation is an extended period of energy-saving state.
D. All kinds of animals hibernate, from insects to birds and primates.
E. Why, if it is so beneficial, do we not hibernate?
F. The dormice had another reason to stay underground.
G. So many animals fatten themselves up during summer.

This happened in Australia… when I was about 25. I spent a few days at a hotel in Alice Springs and went to Ayers Rock and … Well, anyway, one day, I went out for a walk… in the outback. It was a lovely day so I walked and walked… and then I realized I didn’t really know where I was. I was a bit stupid, really… because I decided to go further…I guess I thought I’d find the way back. Um…anyway, after that I heard some dogs. First I heard them barking, and then I saw them… There was a group – maybe five or six dogs, wild dogs, coming towards me. I felt really frightened, but I remembered some advice I, I, er… um, I…I read in my guidebook: Don’t move, and don’t look at the dogs. So I froze, like a statue…I didn’t move… and I looked at a tree, not at the dogs, and didn’t move my eyes. The dogs were all around me, jumping and barking…I thought they were going to bite me. Then one dog did bite my arm, just a little, but still Ididn't move. In the
end, after about 20 minutes, the dogs went away. I stayed there for a few more minutes and then luckily found my way back to the hotel. It was the most frightening experience I’ve ever had!

When I was 12 years old and just graduated from elementary school, I went to Beijing with my dad to see the 2008 Olympic Games. I loved basketball team playing and I especially wanted to see Yao Ming playing. First, we tried to buy tickets online, but all tickets for basketball games had been sold out. Of course, I was very disappointed. Then we went to the stadium to see if someone would be selling extra tickets. After we waited for hours, we became hopeless. But just when we were about to leave, a man came to us and said he had an extra ticket because his friend couldn't make it due to an emergency. We were overjoyed. Immediately, my dad bought the ticket, and told me to rush in – he would wait outside. Finally, I was able to watch the game between the Chinese team and the German team. I enjoyed the game greatly and I was excited when China won. The best thing was that I saw Yao Ming. What a wonderful experience.
