New research

shows

that

all

work

and

no

play

is

not

only

less

fun

for

children,

but

could

leave

them

poorer

in

later

life.

A

study

presented

to

the

Royal

Economic

Society's

annual

conference concludes that teenagers judged to be the most popular at school are also likely to

earn noticeably bigger salaries than their former classmates.

Economists from the University of Sussex analysed findings from the National Longitudinal

Study

of

Adolescent

Health,

a

15-year

research

project

charting

the

fortunes

of

a

group

of

thousands of teenagers who attended high schools in the US in the mid-1990s. Among questions

about topics ranging from their physical fitness to their parents' occupation, the teenagers were

asked to list their closest friends.

In

cases

where

the

researchers

were

able

to

survey

the

entire

school,

they

were

able

to

construct a map of the interconnected friendship networks to work out not only which children

had most friends overall but, crucially, who was most influential. Those who had about 10 per

cent more friends than average in their teens overall were earning almost 11 pet cent more in

their late 20s.

Other factors such as being in the top class and even having a higher IQ score appeared to

have no significant effect on the teenagers' earning power in later 1ife. But those tempted (

引诱

)

to

turn their back on their studies

altogether

on the basis of

the research would be making a

serious mistake. Having a good education was even more important financially than having lots of

friends, with having a university degree boosting (

促进

) earnings by 25 per cent. Those who were

married were also earning 19 per cent more than those still single.

Our

research

confirms

that

the

impact

of

education

and

school

goes

far

beyond

the

knowledge that one acquires, supporting the importance of providing free and public education

for everyone,

said

Lucia Barbone,

the

lead

author.

attention

should

be

devoted

during

childhood

and

adolescence

to

the

development

of

social

skills,

for

example,

through

social

activities and clubs.

4.

From the text, we can learn that the Study of Adolescent Health

.

A.

recorded the fortunes of 1,000 high school graduates

B.

was led by the Royal Economic Society

C.

involved questions of different topics

D.

was conducted in the early 1990s

5.

.

A.

children with more friends end up earning more in later life

B.

most children like to make friends in their high school

C.

all play and no work is good for children

D.

the single earned more than the married

6.

Which factor has the most significant effect on teenagers' future earning power

A.

Being in the top class.

B.

Being popular in school.

C.

Having a high IQ score.

D.

Having a good education.

7.

Lucia Barbone thinks that children should

.

choose their school freely

B.

join more social activities and clubs

D.

go to public high schools

It's nothing new that you can find many files or services you can download or use from the

Internet.

The

question

is:

Is

downloading

legal

or

not

In

most

cases

the

answer

is

negative,

because sharing and downloading are illegal. Of course, you can find files for legal downloading,

but you have to pay for them.

It seems innocent if you click on the download mark, but it isn't. It should be compared with

stealing in a store. Would you steal a magazine, an MP3 players or a car Downloading from the

Internet is a theft, and sharing files, once you have stolen them, only makes it worse. For example,

if

everybody

only

downloads,

movies

wouldn't

make

money

and

the

studios

wouldn't

invest

millions of dollars to make new ones.

Many people may think it better, easier and cheaper to do downloading. I think, that is the

main reason why Internet users prefer sharing something to buying them. In the modern world

we love convenience and what could be more convenient than getting music, films and games

without

having

to

leave

your

house

You

don't

need

to

pay

for

what

you

get,

there

is

no

registration, and you don't have to wait until shops open or the CD/DVD you want is posted to

you. However, you could be in big trouble if you are caught. You could go to prison as a result of

acting unlawfully, but so far only a tiny Amount of people have been charged for downloading

illegally. The majority of people who download illegally, and use the files for their personal use,

will

not

get

into

trouble.

And

that's

why

it's

important

for

people

to

understand

what

the

long-term consequences are if they don't want to pay for their music, films and TV. Will film and

music companies still spend millions of pounds every year if they have no chance of making a

profit The answer is plainly

Finally I would like to say that the Internet offers a lot of services for money, but people will

always

try

to

get

them

for

free.

To

summarize

my

thoughts

I'd

like

to

highlight

that

illegal

downloading is both unfair towards producers and dangerous for those who practice this kind of

activity. You have to decide whether to buy or download.

8.

Many people download files free from the Internet because

.

A.

they follow others' examples to do such things

B.

they don't think they may be charged by the producer

C.

they think everything on the Net can be shared by others

D.

they think it is legal, convenient and easy

9.

What can be inferred from Paragraph 2

A.

Downloading helps movies become more popular.

B.

Downloading free files is as illegal as stealing.

C.

Sharing files on the Internet is dangerous.

D.

Sharing files on the Internet can make a profit.

10.

What does the underline word

A.

Stress.

B.

Explain.

C.

Admit.

D.

Deny.

11.

What is the author's purpose of writing this text

A.

He advises readers to download legal files.

B.

He asks readers to limit the amount of free downloading.

C.

He wants to make it clear that downloading for free is against the law.

D.

He tells readers how to avoid being charged for downloading.

Most of the time, the ground feels solid beneath our feet. That's comforting. But it's also

misleading because there's actually a lot going on underground. Masses of land (called plates) slip,

slide,

and

bump

against

each

other,

slowly

changing

the

shape

of

continents

and

oceans

over

millions and billions of years.

Scientists know that Earth formed about

billion year ago. They also know that our planet

was

hot

at

first.

As

it

cooled,

its

outermost

layer,

called

the

crust(

地壳

),

eventually

formed

moving plates. Exactly when this shift happened, however, is an open question.

Now,

an

international

group

of

researchers

has

an

answer.

They've

found

evidence

suggesting

that

Earth's

crust

started

shifting

at

least

billion

years

ago.

The

new

estimate

is

billion years earlier than previous ones.

Not long before

billion years ago, lots of small plates were hitting Earth, keeping its crust in

a

hot,

melting

state.

After

the

hard

crust

formed,

much

of

it

sank

at

various

times

into

the

planet's hot insides. There, it melted before returning to the surface.

In some places, however, the crust never sank. One of the oldest such places is in Greenland,

in

an

area

called

the

Isua

supracrustal

(

上地壳

)

belt.

The

rocky

crust

there

is

between

and

billion years old. The belt was once part of the seafloor, but now it is exposed to air.

The researchers recently took a close look at the Isua supracrurstal belt. They noticed long,

parallel cracks (

裂缝

) in the rock that have been filled in with a type of volcanic rock.

To explain this structure, the scientists propose that tension in the crust caused the seafloor

to crack open long ago. Hot, liquid rock oozed from deep inside Earth to fill the cracks. Finally, the

whole area cooled, forming what we see today.

That

explanation,

plus

chemical

clues

inside

the

rock,

suggests

the

Isua

supracrurstal

belt

was once part of a plate under the ocean, beginning around

billion years ago.

the puzzle was

ruined.

12.

The underline phrase

.

A.

filled up gradually

B.

washed away quickly

C.

flew out of slowly

D.

broke through suddenly

13.

What can we infer from the text

A.

The shapes of continents and oceans changed slowly.

B.

the Earth's crust started shifting

billion years ago.

C.

The crust began to shift when the Earth was hot.

D.

The hit from small planets made the Earth cool.

14.

What do scientists know about the past of the Isua supracrustal belt

A.

It was once covered by hot, liquid rock.

B.

It remained under the deep sea.

C.

It stayed hot and sinking.

D.

It kept moving slowly.

15.

The text is mainly about

.

A.

why the Earth cooled

B.

how the Isua supracrustal belt formed

C.

whether the ground beneath our feet is still D.

when Earth's crust began shifting

Sometimes you just want to to get away. Your older brother and his friends are constantly

camped in front of the TV, your baby sister won't stay out of your room, and you want some time

for yourself.

But when you get it

—

maybe at a friend's house for an all-weekend DVD marathon or on

spring break at Disney World

—

you're surprised to find yourself missing the chaos at home a

bit.

What's that all about

16

When you're homesick, you might feel nostalgic(

怀念的

)for familiar things like your family,

friends, pets, house, or neighborhood. Homesickness isn't only for kids.

17

Teens might get homesick when they leave home for the first extended period of time, like

during a vacation with a friend's family.

Familiar

surroundings,

people,

and

routines

provide

people

with

a

sense

of

security

and

comfort.

18

Those homesick feelings are completely normal.

19

Others

may

feel

physical

symptoms,

like

stomachache

or

headache,

or

even

become truly depressed. Most of the time, once the new surroundings and people become more

familiar,

feelings

of

homesickness

go

away.

If

you

have

additional

stress

in

your

life

—

like

a

divorce or a death in the family

—

homesickness can be more intense.

Almost everyone has felt homesick at some time.

20

It means you have family and

friends worth missing and a place you want to return when your adventure away from home is

over.

A.

Believe it or not, you're feeling homesick.

B.

Remember that there's a good side to homesickness, too.

C.

Luckily, homesickness is usually mild and doesn't last long.

D.

Some people may only feel a little loneliness, sadness, or anxiety.

E.

And you can do some things to make sure it doesn't spoil your fun.

F.

Practically everyone feels homesick from time to time, even adults.

G.

I

n a new place, you may find yourself missing the comforts of home and loved ones.
