| WHAT can help you make a fortune in the future? Graduating from a top university might not be enough. A new study from the University of Essex in Britain has shown that the more friends you have in school, the more money you'll earn later. The idea that popularity could have a serious influence on one's earning potential shouldn't come as too much of a surprise. The researchers noted that if you want to get ahead in life, social skills and networking are easily as powerful as talent and hard work. "If a person has lots of friends, it means that he or she has the Ability to get along with others in all kinds of different situations," said Xu Yanchun, 17, from Nantou High School in Shenzhen, who totally agreed with the recent finding. "Also, friends always help each other. They not only create wider social circles for you but lift your mood when you are occasionally in low spirits." said Xu. She believed that all this helps you "earn a higher salary". Maybe that's why some people think the younger generations are in the age of Friendaholism (交友狂症)? A woman even complained that the networking website Facebook's 5, 000-friend limit was too low for her large reserve of social contacts. But what does a friend mean? Should friends be regarded as a form of currency? "Call me uncool, but I think of a friend as an actual person with whom I have an actual history and whom I enjoy actually seeing. It seems, however, that this is no longer the definition of a friend," said Meghan Daum, who works with the Los Angeles Times in the US. Daum dislikes the idea that quantity trumps quality in the age of Friendaholism. She thought the idea of friendship, at least among the growing population of Internet social networkers, was to get as many of not- really-friends as possible. For example, a friend might be someone you might know personally but who could just as easily be the friend of a friend of some other Facebook friend you don't actually know. Although she agreed that social ties grease (润滑) the wheels of life, she also wamed, "Too bad one thing money can't buy is a real friend." |
| 1. What can friends do in the eyes of Xu Yanchun? |
| A. They can help you with your schoolwork. B. They teach you how to make more money. C. They help you to get rid of sadness and cheer up. D. They introduce their friends to you. |
| 2. What will be needed if you are to achieve success according to the researchers? |
| A. Social skills, friends, good mood and fortune. B. Social skills, networking, talent and hard work. C. Social skills, networking, potential and fortune. D. Social skills, talent, hard work and Facebook. |
| 3. We learn that Meghan Daum's attitude towards friends is somewhat _____. |
| A. up-to-date B. optimistic C. confused D. traditional |
| 4. What does the word "trumps" in the last paragraph mean? |
| A. is better than B. is equal to C. is worse than D. is similar to |

| I credit my typing skills to so many hours of chatting online. Unfortunately, as my typing speed increased on the Internet, all grammatical rules went out of the window. You see, instant messengers have their own shorthand language and grammar isn't important, of which even a newbie (新手) is aware. They can leave out articles, subjects, pronouns, etc. They can misspell or "re-spell" almost any word. They often ask "A/S/L" when they first chat. Abbreviations and capitalizations are particularly important. English-speaking instant messengers also refuse to burden themselves with punctuation and capitalization. After I came back China, I discovered not one but two instant messaging crazes. The first, which brought back memories of my previous addiction to the computer, was QQ. I can see evidence that the Chinese have the same kind of separate instant messaging language, even when they chat in English. My first word in this language, for example, was "ft". This abbreviation for"faint" is used whenever there is a need to express surprise. I also discovered that the Chinese use the same kind of abbreviation for a laugh. And there is an extraordinary number of smileys and icons available to express every emotion and reaction, from the traditional "sleepy" and"doubtful" smileys to the "vomit" and "army soldier" smileys. There's even a SARS smiley. After QQ, there is another, perhaps more widespread, messaging trend. You guessed it-cell phone text messaging. I now understand how useful text messaging is and why it is so common. I admit that I have been guilty of sending text messages while walking outside or sitting on the subway. Who hasn't? No matter where I go, I see people on their cell phones, messaging. In fact, it's rare to see someone actually talking on their phone! So it looks as if there's no escape from the instant messaging crazes, no matter where in the world I go. And that's plainly not going to change. In the end, though, I can't complain: instant messaging is quick, it's cheap, it's easy and it's extreme fun too. And after all, everybody's doing it. |

| A. full of fun but time-consuming B. widespread but unnecessary C. quick but difficult to do D. common, useful and cheap |
| 3. The writer believes that instant messaging is ____. |
| A. full of fun but time-consuming B. widespread but unnecessary C. quick but difficult to do D. common, useful and cheap |
| 4. Which might be the main idea of the passage? |

| We produce 500 billion of plastic bags in a year worldwide and they are thrown away polluting oceans, killing wildlife and getting dumped in landfills where they take up to 1,000 years to decompose. Researchers have been unsuccessfully looking for a solution. The 16-year-old Canadian high school student, Daniel Burd, from Waterloo Collegiate Institute, has discovered a way to make plastic bags degrade (降解) in as few as 3 months. a finding that won him first prize at the Canada-Wide Science Fair, a $ 10,000 prize, a $ 20,000 scholarship, and a chance to revolutionize a major environmental issue. Burd's strategy was simple: Since plastic does eventually degrade, it must be eaten by microorganisms (微 生物). If those microorganisms could be identified, we could put them to work eating the plastic much faster than under normal conditions. With this goal in mind, he grounded plastic bags into a powder and concocted (调制) a solution of household chemicals, yeast (酵母) and tap water to encourage microbes growth. Then he added the plastic powder and let the microbes work their magic for 3 months. Finally, he tested the resulting bacterial culture on plastic bags, exposing one plastic sample to dead bacteria as a control. Sure enough, the plastic exposed (暴露) to the live bacteria was 17% lighter than the control after six weeks. The inputs are cheap, maintaining the required temperature takes little energy because microbes produce heat as they work, and the only outputs are water and tiny levels of carbon dioxide. "Almost every week I have to do chores and when I open the closet door, I have piles of plastic bags falling on top of me. One day, I got tired of it and I wanted to know what other people are doing with these plastic bags. The answer: not much. So I decided to do something myself." said Daniel Burd. |
| 1. Daniel Burd won first prize at the Canada-Wide Science Fair because ____. |
| A. he found a new kind of microorganism B. he contributed much to environmental protection C. he found a way to degrade plastics in shorter time D. he could encourage microbes growth in an easier way |
| 2. Daniel Burd exposed one plastic sample to dead bacteria to ____. |
| A. make the live bacteria work better B. test how effective his method was C. know which bacteria worked faster D. control the temperature in the process |
| 3. Maintaining the required temperature takes little energy because ____. |
| A. plastics can get hot easily B. microbes can produce heat themselves C. much carbon dioxide is produced D. the temperature can be controlled |
| 4. Daniel Burd got his idea from ____. |
| A. his school textbook B. the failure of researchers C. his everyday work D. the practice of other people |

| Nowadays people are troubled by the violence that spreads throughout the media. Movies, television and video games are full of gunplay and bloodshed, and one might reasonably ask what's wrong with a, society that presents videos of violence as entertainment. Viewing large amounts of violent television and video games may well contribute to violent behavior in certain individuals. The trouble comes when researchers downplay uncertainties in their studies or overstate the case for causality (因果关系). Skeptics (怀疑论者) were dismayed several years ago when a group of societies including, the American Medical Association tried to end the debate by issuing a joint statement," At this time, well over l,000 studies... point to a causal connection between media violence and aggressive behaviors (攻击性行为) in some children." Freedom-of-speech advocates accused the societies of appealing to politicians, and even disputed the number of studies (most were review articles and essays, they said). When Jonathan Freedman, a social psychologist at the University of Toronto, reviewed the literature, he found only 200 0r so studies of television- watching and aggression. And when he weeded out "the most doubtful measures of aggression", only 28% supported a connection. The critical point here is causality. The alarmists say they have proved that violent media cause aggression. But the assumptions behind their observations need to be examined. When labeling games as violent or non- violent, should a hero eating a ghost really be counted as a violent event? And when experimenters record the time it takes game players to read "aggressive" or "non-aggressive" words from a list, can we be sure what they are actually measuring? The intention of the new Harvard Center on Media and Child Health to collect and standardize studies of media violence in order to compare their methodologies, assumptions and conclusions is an important step in the right direction. Another appropriate step would be to tone down the criticism until we know more. Several researchers write, speak and testify quite a lot on the threat posed by violence in the media. That is, of course, their privilege. But when doing so, they often come out with statements that the matter has now been settled, drawing criticism from colleagues. In response, the alarmists accuse critics and news reporters of being deceived by the entertainment industry. Such clashes help neither science nor society. |
| 1. Why is there so much violence shown in movies, TV and video games? |
| A. There is a lot of violence in the real world today. B. Something has gone wrong with today's society. C. Many people are fond of gunplay and bloodshed. D. Showing violence is thought to be entertaining. |
| 2. What is the skeptics' view of media violence? |
| A. Violence on television is a fairly accurate reflection of real- world life. B. A causal relationship exists between media and real-world violence. C. Most studies overstate the effect of media violence on the viewers. D. The influence of media violence on children has been underestimated. |
| 3. The author uses the term "alarmists" to refer to those who _____. |
| A. use standardized measures in the studies of media violence B. insist on a direct link between violent media and aggressive behavior C. initiate the debate over the influence of violence media on reality D. use appropriate methodology in examining aggressive behavior |
| 4. What does the writer think of the debate concerning the relationship between the media and violence? |
| A. He more than agrees with the views held by the alarmists. B. It should come to an end since the matter has now been settled. C. The past studies in this field have proved to be misleading. D. More studies should be conducted before conclusions are drawn. |
