         When I learned that my 71-year-old mother was playing Scrabble-a word game-against herself, I
    knew I had to do something. My husband suggested we give her a computer to play against. I wasn't
    sure my mother was ready for it After all, it had taken 15 years to persuade her to buy an electric cooker.
    Even so, we packed up our old computer and delivered it to my parents' home. And so began my mother's
    adventure in the world of computers.
         It also marked the beginning of an unusual teaching task for me. I've taught people of all ages, but I
    never thought I would be teaching my mother how to do anything. She has been the one teaching me all
    my life: to cook and sew: to enjoy the good times and put up with the bad. Now it was my turn to give
    something back.
         It wasn't easy at the beginning. There was so much to explain and to introduce. Slowly but surely, my
    mother caught on, making notes in a little notebook. After a few months of Scrabble and other games, I
    decided it was time to introduce her to word processing (文字处理) This proved to be a bigger challenge
    (挑战) to her, so I gave her some homework I asked her to write me a letter, using different letter types,
    colors and spaces.
         "Are you this demanding with your kindergarten pupils?" she asked. 
         "No, of course not," I said. "They already know how to use a computer."
        My mother isn't the only one experiencing a fast personal growth period. Thanks to the computer, my
    father has finally got over his phone allergy (过敏反应). For as long as I can remember, any time I called,
    my mother would answer. Dad and I have had more phone conversations in the last two months than we've
    had in the past 20 years.

         In most towns today, you can see teenagers standing over electronic machines with flashing lights,
    shooting at spaceships from other planets and dropping bombs on strange monsters (恶魔).The machines
    have names like Space Warrior, Dark Invader and so on. It used to be believed that damage was done only
    to those strange visitors from outer space, but now it seems that they are striking back.
         Many teenagers like electronic games so much that they can't stop playing.They spend hours tightly
    holding the joystick controls and constantly pressing buttons marked"fire". They develop pains on their
    fingers because of the constant pressure. They play and play so that the pains have no chance to cure
    properly. The rapid wrist movement required to guide the spaceship across the screen causes another
    problem: The muscles of the wrist and arm become so inflamed and swollen (红肿) that they press against
    the bones. This condition is what doctors now call "Space Warrior's Wrist". Other strange aches and pains
    also are likely to affect the elbows and shoulders.
         Another even more alarming problem is shown by the case of a 17-year-old girl which was recently in
    the British Medical Journal. She had been playing various kinds of electronic games for more than two hours
    a day. Her father repaired games and machines and she could use the cassettes and systems in his workshop
    as often as she liked. One day, after playing a game called Dark Invader, she lost consciousness (晕倒) and
    fell to the floor.
         Doctors who examined her found she was suffering from an unusual illness caused by lights flashing at
    a particular frequency.
    1. Electronic games are found very popular with __________.
    A. people living in towns
    B. students studying in high schools
    C. girls working in their father's workshops
    D. young people age about 15-20
    2. "Space Warrior's Wrist" is caused by __________.
    A. constantly pressing the buttons
    B. rapidly moving across the screen
    C. tightly holding the joystick controls
    D. inflamed and swollen muscles of the wrist
    3. The case of a 17-year-old girl by the writer shows that the writer __________.
    A. supports playing electronic games
    B. feels very sorry for the girl
    C. disagreed with young people's playing electronic games
    D. feels worried about young people's poor health
    4. From the passage we can conclude that playing electronic games is __________.

    C. interesting but harmless to the eyes
    D. amusing and satisfying

         Geena David knew she wanted to be a movie star when she was very young. She was not sure what gave
    her the idea, but she wanted to look like a movie star."I have a lot of pictures from my childhood of me
    wearing sunglasses," she says."I used to wear them to watch TV."
         Early movie actors started wearing sunglasses not because they looked good, but because their eyes hurt.
    The lights used on movie sets were extremely bright and could cause a painful problem known as "Klieg eyes".
    It was named after the Klieg brothers who invented the lights. Actors wore sunglasses to give their eyes a rest.
    But when movie stars began wearing their sunglasses in public, they quickly became a must. 
          Eventually actors started wearing sunglasses in their movies as well as on the street. Audrey Hephburn
    wore ultra-cool Ray-Ban sunglasses in the 1961 movie, Breakfast at Tiffany's. As a result, Ray-Ban sunglasses
    started to appear more and more in the movies. In 1979, Ray-Ban"Wayfarers" were worn by Jake and Elwood
    in The Blue Brothers. Tom Cruise wore Ray-Ban"Aviator" sunglasses in the 1986 hit, Top Gun. Then in 1997,
    Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones made Ray-Ban"Predator" sunglasses famous in Men in Black.
          Of course sunglasses aren't just a fashion statement. The main reason to wear sunglasses is to protect our
    eyes against UV radiation. UV radiation can damage our eyes, so people now choose their sunglasses carefully.
    But you don't have to give up style for safety. The choice of frames and lenses available these days is huge. So
    you can protect your eyes and still be the coolest person on the beach.

    1. What is mainly discussed in this passage?
    A. The use of sunglasses.
    B. The history of sunglasses.
    C. The sunglasses wearing.

    2. Why did Geena David like to wear sunglasses?
    A. She was a movie star.

    A. they wore sunglasses
    B. they went out in the sun too much
    C. the lights on movie sets were too bright

    4. We may know from this passage that __________.
    A. Audrey Hephburn was a famous film star
    B. Ray-Ban is the name of sunglasses maker
    C. Sunglasses made Top Gun the hit in 1986
    D. Men in Black must be an advertisement of sunglasses

         When he took office, George W. Bush, son of former president George Herbert Walker Bush, became the
    first son to follow his father into the White House since John Quiney Adams followed John Adams in the early
    19th century.
         Bush was born on July 6, 1946, in New Haven, Connecticut, the first child of George Herbert Walker Bush
    and Barbara Pierce Bush. Although George Herbert Walker Bush began his career in the oil industry, he finally
    served as a congressman (国会议员), and vice president and president of the United States.
         At the age of two, Bush moved with his parents from Connecticut to Odessa, Texas, where his father took
    up the oil business. After a year in Texas, the family moved to California for business reasons. A year later, the
    family returned to Texas and settled in Midland, where Bush lived from 1950 to 1959.
         In 1959, again for business reasons, the family moved to Houston, Texas. In 1961 Bush left Texas and
    went to Andover, Massachusetts, to attend Phillips Academy, a boarding school (寄宿学校) that his father had
    also attended.
         At Phillips, Bush played basketball, baseball, and football. He was best known for being head cheerleader.
    In 1964 he enrolled at Yale University in Connecticut; his father and grandfather had also attended Yale. At
    Yale, Bush was considered an average student, but he was popular with his classmates.
         Bush graduated from Yale with a bachelor's degree in history in 1968. Then he joined the Air National
    Guard and remained in the Guard until 1973. After earning his MBA from Harvard in 1975, Bush returned to
    Midland. Like his father, he first entered the oil industry as a"landsman (新手)". However, Bush's oil companies never enjoyed great success. He took more interest in politics. He helped his father to become president and in
    1994 he himself was elected governor of Texas.
         In the summer of 1999, Bush began to run for the president of the USA and on January 20, 2001, George
    W. Bush, hand raised, took the oath(宣誓)of office to become the 43rd president of the US.
    1. What does the writer intend to tell us in the first paragraph?
    A. George W. Bush is the first son in American history to follow his father into the White House.
    B. George W. Bush is the first son of former president George Herbert Walker Bush.
    C. John Quincy Adams and his father were both former American presidents.
    D. George W. Bush is the second one in American history to follow his father into White House.
    2. We may learn from the text that young Bush __________.
    A. got on very well at the universities
    B. was very good at basketball, baseball and football
    C. did everything as his father had done
    D. was a very successful politician like his father
    3. Which of the following is NOT true about George W. Bush?
    A. Young Bush lived with his family in Texas from 1948 to 1961.
    B. He once studied at a university that his father and grandfather had also attended.
