| You"ve probably heard a lot about the Internet, but what is it? The Internet is a computer network that uses the telephone system to connect together millions of computers around the world. Maybe that isn"t very exciting but once you"re connected to the Internet, there are lots and lots of different things you can do. You can send electronic messages or "e-mails" to your friends (as long as they"re on the Internet, too), or you can sort through all kinds of information on something called the World Wide Web. You don"t need to know how the Internet works in order to use it, but if you understand the basics, it may help you work out any technical problems you have - and of course you can help your friends with your knowledge! You may think that your telephone is just for talking. But as long as you have the equipment (设备), you can use a telephone line to send computer data (数据) as well as sounds. If you connect your computer with the telephone system, it can receive information from and to other computers (as long as they are connected with the telephone system, too). Because there is not an organization which operates the Internet, no one exactly knows how many people are connected to it. It"s thought that there could be 60 million people on the Net, connected up to over 15 million computers! et |

| What should you think about when trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs. Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job. Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic(认错的) about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work. |
| 1. What is the passage mainly about? |
| A. The importance of working hard at school. B. Choosing a career according to one"s strengths. C. How to face one"s weakness. D. The value of school work. |
| 2. The writer thinks that a student have a part-time job is probably _____. |
| A. a good way to find out his weak points B. one of the best ways of earning extra money C. of great use for his work in the future D. a waste of time he could have spent on study |
| 3. From the passage we learn that if a student"s school performance is not good, he _____. |
| A. should pay more attention to learning skills and developing abilities B. will be regretful about his bad results C. may also do well in his future work D. should restart his study in school |
| 4. The underlined phrase "be all thumbs" (in para 3) probably means"_____". |
| A. be clumsy at doing things B. be skillful in doing things C. be not interested in certain things D. be easily bored in doing things |

| In the Harry Potter films, Hermione Granger is better than her male friends and is considered the brightest pupil in her grade. Isn"t it often the same in schools of our real world? "It"s surprising but true that most of the top students have been girls since primary school. Girls are class leaders, club presidents and the top ones in exams," said Wang Feixuan, 15, who studies at a Chengdu school. By any measure, Wang herself is a high-achiever. She is a top student, a team leader in her school"s sports club and a winner in national English and IT competitions. But why do so many girls outperform their male peers? In Sun Yunxiao"s latest book Save Our Boys, he points out that the education system is"more suited to girls, who are good at memorizing and like to sit quietly and read." Yet he also says that girls have to do so much more when they compete with males for honors, top universities and later good jobs. They can feel great pressure nearly every day. This seems to be the same in most countries in the world. Young women in the United States are also reported to feel the same pressure to be perfect. "Let"s look at what we ask of our teenage girls," says Professor Stephen Hinshaw in an interview. He thinks that it"s no longer enough that a girl does well in school and is a caring friend. On the TV, on the Internet and everywhere, girls see images of impossible perfection. Today"s young women must be good learners, good athletes, and fill their after-school lives with other activities. But they are also asked to have the styles and looks of popular stars."Be pretty, sweet and nice. Be athletic, competitive and get straight. Be impossibly perfect." Stephen Hinshaw sums up. |
| 1. The passage suggests that _____. |
| A. our society asks far too much of teenage girls B. teenage girls shouldn"t be so perfect at school C. boys are always lazy ones rather than girls D. American girls have less pressure than Chinese girls |
| 2. According to the passage, it is true that _____. |
| A. boys are less smart than girls throughout school life B. boys usually don"t have so much pressure as girls do C. girls are all fond of the Chinese education system D. girls are better at school because boys don"t work hard |
| 3. The underlined word "outperform" means _____. |
| A. hate B. misunderstand C. like D. defeat |
| 4. What is the best title for the passage? |
| A. Impossibly Perfect Is Possible. B. Why Are Girls So Perfect? C. Perfect? Pressure Every Day! D. Perfect: Boys or Girls? |

| Singing songs is fun, but is it also useful? For learning English pronunciation, Mr. Joe thinks songs are the most useful way to learn. At the same time, you can learn some new words and phrases while singing songs. Mr. Joe has used songs to help himself learn French, Spanish, Japanese and Chinese. You should do the same. Some vocabulary used in songs is not everyday English, so you have to be careful how you use song lyrics when you speak. Most words and sentences, though, are very useful. You don"t have to sing songs aloud if you are shy, but after learning a song you should be able to follow the words without looking at the lyrics. When you can do that, you have learned something valuable that you will never forget! Some good songs to listen to are from the Beatles, John Denver and the Carpenters. Their songs are not too fast and the lyrics are close to normal spoken English. Just for fun, you can try Mr. Joe"s favorite singer, B.B. King. His songs are not easy at all! If you can understand even 80% of"Why I Sing the Blues", you are a very advanced student. If you become good at singing English songs, you can try to go to karaoke and sing with your friends. When you are able to sing a song in another language, even if you don"t sing so beautifully, you will really impress other people! |
