| Wugging, or web-use giving, describes the act of giving to charity at no cost to the user. By using Everyclick.com, which is being added to a number of university computers across the UK, students can raise money every time they search, but it won't cost them a penny. Research shows that students are extremely passionate about supporting charity - 88% of full time students have used the Internet to give to charity. This age group is often the least likely to have their own income. 19% of 22 to 24 year olds have short-term debts of more than ￡5,000. With rising personal debt levels in this age group, due to university tuition fees or personal loans and a lack of long-term savings, traditional methods of donating to charity are often not appealing or possible. Beth Truman, a 21 year old recent university graduate, has used everyclick.com to donate to her chosen charity, the RSPCA, for two years and has seen the "wugging" grow in popularity with students."When you're at university you become more socially aware, but it's sometimes hard to give to others when you have little money yourself," says Beth."Wugging is great for people in this age group as it allows them to use the technology on a daily basis to give to charity, without costing them a single penny." Wugging is perfect for people who want to be more socially aware and supportive but don't feel they have the means to do so. Students using the web can raise money for causes they care about without costing them anything in terms of time or money, and charities get a valuable source of funding. Everyclick. com works like any other search engine, allowing users to search for information, news and images but users can decide which of the UK's 170,000 charities they would like to support through their clicks. Everyclick. com then makes monthly payments to every registered charity. Launched in June 2005, Everyclick.com is now the eighth largest search engine and one of the busiest charity websites in the UK. |
| 1. In the case of charity, everyclick.com ______. |
| A. frees students of the financial worries B. receives much money from students C. offers valuable information to students D. praises students for their money-raising |
| 2. What does Beth Truman think of the "wugging" movement? |
| A. It makes Everyclick.com popular in the UK. B. It becomes easy to do charity because of it. C. It results in students' more social awareness. D. It helps students to save money. |
| 3. From the passage, we can conclude that ______. |
| A. most full time students do charity on the Internet every day B. Everyclick.com helps students pay for the college education C. "wugging" is a win-win idea for both students and charities D. Everyclick.com is the most successful search engine in the UK |

| Movies in the theater get their recognition at awards ceremonies, such as the Oscars. But how about movies for phones? They are getting their turn at MoFilm-the first mobile film festival. The first MoFilm competition received 250 entries from more than 100 countries. Entries were restricted to films that were five minutes or less in length-ideal for viewing and sharing on mobile phones. An independent jury then selected a shortlist of five film-makers. The winner was chosen from the shortlist by an audience voting using their phones. New Platforms The awards highlight the increasing impact that mobile phones are making in the entertainment industry. Many grassroots filmmakers start out with short films. They are thwarted by the lack of opportunities to screen their work. Therefore, mobile phones are increasingly being seen as a new platform for these short works. It is a good place for anyone who wants to express themselves and find a way to have that expression seen by a wide audience. Just think about how many people have mobile phones in the world! New Technology Advances MoFilm is pioneering content for mobile and online services that is a world away from Hollywood. The majority of films made for mobiles are now short in length, taking into account the screen size. However this could be overcome as technology advances. In the near future, longer films will likely be seen on the mobile phone.

| A scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offering each of four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it. Some children reach eagerly for the treat they see. Some last a few minutes before they give in. But others are determined to wait until the last moment. By the time the children reach high school, something remarkable has happened. A survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable. The children who gave in to temptation (诱惑) early were more likely to be lonely, easily frustrated and inflexible (固守己见的). Actually, the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesn't show up on an IQ test. The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists' concerns. But brain theory can't explain what we wonder about most, like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would sink a less resistant soul. Here comes the theory of Daniel Goleman, writer of Emotional Intelligence: when it comes to predicting people's success, brain ability as measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as"character". EQ is not the opposite of IQ. What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together; how one's ability to handle stress, for instance, affects the ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use. Among the ingredients (要素) for success, researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20%; the rest depends on everything from social class to luck. While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously, some few fear EQ invites misuse. |
| 1. The experiment with the four-year-olds makes it clear that _____. |
| A. the age of 4 is a proper time for scientific experiment B. emotional intelligence won't show up until adolescence C. the ability of self-control plays a role in personal success D. candy can be used to measure a person's emotional intelligence |
| 2. Which of the following is TRUE of EQ and IQ according to the text? |
| A. There is no link between EQ and IQ. B. The higher a person's IQ is, the higher his or her EQ is. C. Some people can be blessed with lots of both, but some with little of either. D. Scientists are trying to discover the way in which EQ and IQ work together. |
| 3. The underlined word "upbeat" in Paragraph 4 probably means _____. |
| A. kind B. floating C. excited D. optimistic |
| 4. What is most likely to be written in the paragraph that follows? |
| A. Information about famous people with high EQ. B. Examples showing the opposite voice about EQ. C. Some reasons why EQ is a relatively new field. D. Strong demand for basic emotional education. |

certain methods and procedures to obtain new knowledge and greater understanding. Although the methods are not always the same, there are usually certain elements in the procedures that are similar. 1. （ ） Problems must first of all be recognized. The right answers can be obtained only if the right questions are asked. A thoroughly understood problem is well started toward solution. Problems arise in a variety of ways. Sometimes they grow out of a chance observation. They may result from reading, from laboratory experiments, or simply from thinking. They also may result from new developments or from new or different human needs. Today, for example, problems are arising from new discoveries in the fields of nuclear physics, biological engineering and microelectronics. The development of industry has also brought about large numbers of problems which have to be solved. 2. （ ） Next, the scientist tries to learn as much as possible about it. Often this means going to the library and studying books which contain accounts of man's experience and knowledge of the problem. This is called searching the literature. The scientist may find that others have already solved all or a part of the problem. Occasionally he finds answers to closely related questions, which give clues for solving the new one. In his search the scientist accumulates much background information. With these new ideas and facts he builds a firm foundation for solving the problem. 3. （ ） After the scientist has finished this part of his work he will probably take the many facts which he has collected and organize them into some kind of system. This may be a logical classification or it may be a mathematical analysis. Usually the analysis will show unanswered questions. Sometimes it will suggest areas that are in need of further study. Perhaps one of the most important results of such an analysis is that it indicates certain truths, which generally are called inferences. 4. （ ） In making an inference the scientist has built up a hypothesis. A hypothesis is only a"best" guess. It must next be tested. If it is correct, the certain things should follow. This means if a particular experiment is carried out, certain observation ought to be possible or it should be possible to make certain predictions. Should the observations or predictions turn out to be as expected, the scientist has added confidence in the probable truth of his hypothesis. If, however, observations cannot be made or the predications are unreliable, then the hypothesis will probably be given up or at least modified. 5. （ ） The hypothesis must check with the facts. Scientific facts are usually established by work in the laboratory. Experiments have to be made under carefully controlled conditions. Thorough and accurate records must be kept. In making certain kinds of experiments in science variables are used. A variable is something which has different values under different conditions. In one type of laboratory test all the variables but one are controlled. This method of testing is called controlled experimentation. |

| In our culture, the sources of what we call a sense of "mastery" -feeling important and worthwhile-and the sources of what we call a sense of"pleasure"-finding life enjoyable-are not always the same. In the past women often were told"You can't have it all." Sometimes what the speaker really is saying is: "You choose a career, so you can't expect to have closer relationships or a happy family life." or"You have a wonderful husband and children-what's all this about wanting a career?" But today women need to have two aspects of well-being, if they are to feel good about themselves. Our study shows that, for women, well-being has two aspects. One is mastery, which includes self-respect, a sense of control over your life, and low levels of anxiety and depression. Mastery is closely related to the"doing" side of life, to work and activity. Pleasure is the other aspect, and it is made up of happiness, satisfaction and optimism. It is tied more closely to the"feeling" side of life. The two are independent of each other. A woman could be high in mastery and low in pleasure, and vice versa. For example, a woman who has a good job, but whose mother has just died, might be feeling very good about herself and in control of her work life, but the pleasure side could be damaged for a time. The concepts of mastery and pleasure can help us identify the sources of well-being for women, and correct past mistakes. In the past, women were encouraged to look only at the feeling side of life as the source of all well-being. But we know that both mastery and pleasure are important. And mastery seems to be achieved largely through work. In our study, all the groups of employed women were valued significantly higher in mastery than women who were not employed. A woman's well-being is developed when she takes on multiple roles. At least by middle adulthood, the women who were involved in a combination of roles-marriages, motherhood, and employment-were the highest in well-being, in spite of warnings about stress and strain. |

| Guided Writing . Directions: Write an English composition in 120-150 words according to the instruction below. 上星期 的班会课上你们进行了一场英语辩论赛。辩题是“Sport is really good for us” 你班的张，李，赵同 学发表了以下观点：请你仔细阅读下列3位学生的观点并写出你的反驳辩词：字数 120-150 ： Zhang: Sport is a great way to stay fit and healthy. This is very important today as few people have jobs with physical labor and most of us travel everywhere by car. As a result many people are overweight and suffer poor health. Sport may not be the only way to keep fit, but the competition and teamwork in sport give people a lot of motivation to keep going and to push themselves hard. Li: Sport teaches us big lessons for life. Most sports involve teamwork and teach us how to get along with others, how to work together to achieve a common goal, and about trust and responsibility. All sports teach us about dealing with success and failure. They also help people learn about coping with pressure and the need to stick with training in order to improve yourself. True, some sports do not suit some people, but there are so many possible choices that everyone can find a sport to enjoy. Zhao: Sport is competitive because life is competitive. In the past humans were hunters and fighters and that spirit is still in us. There is nothing wrong with being ambitious and working hard to achieve the aims you set yourself. Nor is there anything wrong with wanting to do better than someone else. By playing sport children learn about competition and adults have a controlled outlet for aggression. But sport teaches us to compete fairly, within the rules. It balances competitiveness with teamwork and the need to respect the other side. |
