flat device in april, 2010, because he thought it should be a “ 2 cool” laptop. but tang still cherishes his new equipment like “protecting my 3 ,” said the fifth grader. after all, not every student has the opportunity to 4 the ebook, which is worth $294 (￥2,000 yuan), he said. the 50 ebooks, 5 by taiwan ebook manufacturer chuanqi photoelectric technology in yangzhou, jiangsu province, enables one class at yangzhou sanyuanqiao elementary school to be the 6 group of students in the chinese mainland to replace their regular textbooks with electronic ones. out of 1000 students, tangs class was the lucky 7 . “our school could not 8 the project without the companys donation,” said yuan shishan, vice-headmaster of the primary school. 9 the digital book is considered environmentally friendly, because it replaces paper books and saves money in the long run, the price is much higher than most chinese 10 can afford. also, some technical defects, the 11 of taking notes and monochromatic display, make the ebook fail to meet the expectations of students and teachers. “theres still a/an 12 way to go before the ebook really plays an important role in education,” said the headmaster. according to yuan, the annual average income of a 13 family in yangzhou is about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, and neither the parents nor the school can afford the 2,000 yuan 14 book. the school doesnt

socks, a pair of shorts, and two pairs of jeans. he was carrying one small backpack, which was very full, but he didnt have any other luggage. brian needed to meet a man named tony before he checked in for his flight. he found tony near the air france counter. tony gave him a round-trip ticket and a small package.“give this package to jean paul at the airport in paris. he will have a sign with your name on it. i think you can find him easily,” tony said, “you dont have any luggage, right？”“only this backpack,” brian answered. “you said i could bring one carry-on bag.”“thats right. one carry-on bag is fine. have a good trip.”“thanks.”is brian a criminal(罪犯)？not at all. he is an air-courier. and he paid only $110 for the round-trip ticket to paris. air-couriers get cheap airline tickets because they take important packages and papers to foreign countries. businesses sometimes need to get packages and papers to people in foreign countries by the next day. often, the only way they can do this is to use an air-courier company. it is not cheap for a business to send a package with an air-courier, but it is quick.every year about 80,000 people worldwide travel as air-couriers. the number of tickets for the air-courier travel is growing by about 10 percent a year. however, air-courier travel isnt for everyone. but if you have very little money, you can be flexible(灵活的) about your travel plans, and dont mind wearing the same clothes for a week, it can be a great way to take a vacation!26why was brian wearing so many clothes for his travel?abecause they were the uniforms for air-couriers.bbecause that made him easier to be recognized.cbecause his backpack had no room for his clothes.dbecause he did not have any luggage with him.27an air-courier is a person who _.amanages a business company in foreign countriesborganizes international flights for touristsctravels around the world with cheap ticketsddelivers papers and packages to foreign countries28businesses choose the air-courier service because _.ait costs less bit is flexiblecit saves time dit grows fast29one of the disadvantages of traveling as an air-courier is that he _.acannot decide when and where to travelbcannot take any luggage with himchas to wear two pairs of jeansdsaves little money from the travel30the author of the text mainly _.adescribes the activities of a law-breakerbsuggests an ideal way to travelcargues against the air-courier traveldtells us about a developing businessb how i turned to be optimistici began to grow up that winter night when my parents and i were returning from my aunts house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for america. we were on the bus then. i was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. i remember that i could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which i listened every morning.i do not remember myself crying for this reason again. in fact, i think i cried very little when i was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. when we were leaving i thought about all the places i was going to see the strange and magical places i had known only from books and pictures. the country i was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.the four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. for the first two years in new york i was really lost having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. i did not quite know what i was or what i should be. mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. some time passed before my stepfather and i got used to each other. i was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times”my responsibilities in the family increased a lot since i knew english better than everyone else at home. i wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.from my experiences i have learned one important rule：almost all common troubles eventually go away！something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little！i believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.31how did the author get to know america?afrom her relatives.bfrom her mother.cfrom books and pictures.dfrom radio programs.32upon leaving for america the author felt _.aconfused bexcitedcworried damazed33for the first two years in

worked as a translator.bshe attended a lot of job interviews.cshe paid telephone bills for her family.dshe helped her family with her english.35the author believes that _.aher future will be free from troublesbit is difficult to learn to become patientcthere are more good things than bad thingsdgood things will happen if one keeps tryingcwhy do men die earlier than women? the latest research makes it known that the reason could be that mens hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle age.the largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that womens longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age.“we have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age,” said the head of the study, david goldspink of liverpool john moores university in the uk.“within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. between the age of 20 and 70, one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men,” said goldspink. “this is part of the ageing process.”what surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. a healthy 70-year-old womans heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old ones.“this gender difference might just explain why women live longer than men,” said goldspink. they studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80, focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease. “the team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart,” said goldspink.the good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise. goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age.36. the underlined word “longevity” in the second paragraph probably refers to “_”.a. health b. long life c. ageing d. effect37. the text mainly talks about _.a. mens heart cells b. womens ageing process、c. the gender difference d. hearts and long life38. according to the text, the uk scientists have known that _.a. women have more cells than men when they are bornb. women can replace the cells that enable the heart to beatc. the female heart loses few of the cells with aged. women never lose their pumping power with age39. if you want to live longer, you should _.a. enable your heart to beat much faster b. find out the reason for ageingc. exercise regularly to keep your heart healthy d. prevent your cells from being lost40. we can know from the passage that _.a. the reason why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart has been found outb. scientists are on the way to finding out why the male heart loses more of the cellsc. the team has done something to prevent the male from suffering the greater lossd. women over 70 could lose more heart cells than those at the age of 20dwho says americans worship the almighty dollar？its not true. having enough free time is more important to most americans than being rich, according to a new poll.only 13 percent of more than 2,400 people questioned in the telephone poll ranked being wealthy as most important to them, while 67 percent ranked free time as their top priority, higher than having a successful career, getting married, and having children. “everyone wants free time to do the things they want to do, young, middle-aged or old,” said richard morin, of the pew social & demographic trends project, which conducted the survey. “so our desire to play unites us.”the poll also showed that people who were university educated valued career success over wealth, so did middle-aged people. not surprisingly, those who didnt have money, ranked wealth very highly. this included minorities, first generation americans and less educated people. the survey also revealed that a disproportionate(不成比例的) number of people under the age of 30 and retirees in the group made $20,000 or less a year. but the emphasis on wealth lessens with age, with younger people putting value on it but hardly any seniors. “it just diminishes with time as the reality sets in that you would never be rich,” morin said. “but also, the reality sets in that you dont have to be rich to lead a very comfortable and fulfilling life.”while wealth was not at the top of peoples list of priorities, 43 percent still said it was somewhat important.41the poll showed that the majority of american people ranked _ as the most important.awealth ba successful career cmarriage dfree time42who cares least for wealth, according to the passage?ayoung people. bmiddle-aged people. cold people. dwell-educated people.43according to the poll, middle-aged people regarded _ as more important.asuccess in careerbeducation level cwealth
