| Please help! I live in Germany with my wife and three kids. My parents live in the UK. I want my kids to contact with their grandparents often. The kids all use e-mail, Skype and SMS but my parents won’t. I’ve bought them a laptop, paid for broadband(宽带), given them both mobile phones and a digital camera, but they won’t use them. My parents say they hate computers and new technology. What can I do with these “technophobes”? Daniel, Buremburg, Germany Actually, the original technophobes were the Luddites, a group of cloth workers in 19th century Britain during the Industrial Revolution. The Luddite cloth workers, who traditionally made cloth by hand, were worried that machines were going to take away their jobs and way of life. These machines could make cloth much faster and cheaper than humans. In 1811 and 1812 the Luddites destroyed the machines, but the British government supported the factory owners. Many Luddites were arrested. Charlotte Bronte’s novel Shirley will tell your parents all about it. Laura, Valencia, Spain Laura makes some interesting points, I think. Technophobes has been a common theme in science fiction. Frankenstein, one of the first science fiction, is a warning of what could happen if humans began to experiment with human life. Freda, Copenhagen, Denmark One thing you could try is to find hardware that is designed for older people to use. An example is the mobiles made by the US company, Jitterbug. Instead of icons（图标) and menus the Jitterbug phones ask users simple “yes/no” questions and have larger keypads. The company realized that there are potentially 100 million older users in the US alone. Graham, Patras, Greece 1. The underlined part “the technophobes” in the passage refers to ______. A. those who are ready to try new technology B. those who are addicted to the Internet C. those who refuse to use modern technology D. those who are devoted to inventing new things 2. Which of the following is TRUE of the Luddites? A. They called themselves the technophobes. B. They got full support from their factory owners. C. They preferred to keep their traditional working methods. D. They were killed by the government. 3. Who has put forward a practical and useful suggestions? A. Laura. B. Freda. C. Daniel. D. Graham. 4. The passage is probably taken from _____. A. a personal blog B. a letter between friends C. a personal diary D. a speech on new technology 5. What can we infer from the passage? A. Daniel would buy her parents a novel written by Shirley. B. Charlotte Bronte wrote about technophobes in her novel Shirley. C. Daniel would buy her parents cell phones with icons and menus. D. Daniel worried about her children using e-mails. |

| You might say that one reason Barack Obama is the President of the US is because he knows how to give a good speech. In 2004, when Massachusetts Senator(参议员) John Kerry was the Democratic Party’s nominee（被提名者） for the presidency, a little-known senator from Illinois gave the keynote speech at the Democratic National Convention. That senator was Obama. It was a remarkable speech -- poetic, and inspiring. The people who heard it would remember it for a long time. Since 2004, Obama has written and delivered thousands of speeches. These are usually praised for two reasons: he treats the audiences like intelligent adults, and he is able to express complicated ideas in an easy, natural way. Before becoming president, Obama was a lawyer, a college professor, and a successful writer -- his two memoirs(回忆录) have become best-sellers. The skills he needed to succeed in his previous jobs have also contributed to his success as a speechmaker. Writing team: Obama has a team of people who write his speeches. The writers chat with Obama for hours about what he wants to say. They listen to recordings of past presidential addresses and seek advice from advisers. Obama usually edits and rewrites the drafts several times. Obama’s tricks for a lighthearted speech that stays on message: Make fun of the guests. Obama starts his speech by gently teasing his guests. His opening lines grab the audience’s attention while giving them an opportunity to relax and laugh at themselves and each other. Make fun of yourself. A good rule for speechmakers: If you’re going to make a joke about someone else, be sure to make one about yourself, too. Obama mocks his own poor choices for filling the position of Commerce Secretary, saying, "No President in history has ever named three Commerce Secretaries this quickly.” 1. Obama made the poetic and inspiring speech in 2004 as________. A. president B. a nominee for the presidency C. a senator D. a secretary 2. What’s the meaning of the underlined word in paragraph 2? A. Difficult to understand. B. Easy to understand. C. Different from others D. Interesting to say. 3. According to the passage, we know that before becoming president, _________. A. Obama was once a lawyer, a doctor and a college professor. B. Obama was a successful writer. C. Obama’s three memoirs have become best-sellers. D. Obama’s former jobs have nothing to do with his speech. 4. According to paragraph 3, we know that _________. A. Obama writes his speech himself. B. the writers chat with Obama only for minutes before writing. C. the writers never listen to recordings of past presidential speeches. D. Obama is serious with his speech. 5. What’s the best title of the passage? A. Secret of Obama’s successful speeches. B. Obama’s successful speeches. C. Obama’s way of making speeches. D. Problems of Obama’s speeches. |

| Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears. One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional(额外的) learning trials(尝试)increase the length(长度) of time we will remember it. In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn. The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表)are an exception(例外) to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood. The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development. 1. What is the main idea of paragraph I? A. People remember well what they learned in childhood. B. Children have a better memory than grown-ups. C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words. D. Stories for children arc easy to remember. 2. The author explains the law of overlearning by_________. A. presenting research findings B. setting down general rules C. making a comparison D. using examples 3. According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is_______. A. a result of overlearning B. a special case of cramming C. a skill to deal with math problems D. a basic step towards advanced studies 4. What does the word "they" in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Commonly accepted rules. B. The multiplication tables. C. Things easily forgotten. D. School subjects. 5. What is the author's opinion on cramming? A. It leads to failure in college exams. B. It's helpful only in a limited way. C. It's possible to result in poor memory. D. It increases students' learning interest. |

| Dear Alice, I have just got some good news to tell to you. I win a national prize for painting last week. My father was so pleasing that he suggested I go to England for a holiday. I’d like to staying there for half a month, visiting place of interest or practicing my English as well. We’ve been writing to each other nearly a year now. I have often dreamed of talk face to face with you. I imagine you’ll be at vacation yourself by that time. Perhaps we could go out do some sightseeing together. Lily |
