than a drinking culture. that means that while italians may enjoy a glass of wine or beer, they dont usually get very drunk.thats not true any more. the new study by the italian national health institute found that 63 percent of italians under age 18 get drunk on the weekends. now, the city of milan has created a law that will stop anyone under 16 from buying alcohol. anyone who sells or gives alcohol to a person under 16 can be fined up to $700. young people who feel that the new law is unfair should go to the us for some perspective (观点). the us has the highest drinking age in the world: its illegal for anyone under 21 to buy alcohol, and stores or restaurants that are caught selling alcohol to people under the legal age risk losing their licenses.many young americans complain that the drinking laws are unfair: they are allowed to vote in elections and join the army at age 18, so why wait another three years just to buy a bottle of beer?these young people have found help in an unusual place. last year, more than 100 presidents of us universities joined together to ask lawmakers to consider changing the drinking age. they argued that the law doesnt stop underage college kids from getting drunkit just makes them want to drink more. for now, the law seems unlikely to change. but us teenagers who want alcohol can go north to canada, where the drinking age is 1819, or south to mexico where the legal age is 18. throughout much of asia, africa and europe, the legal drinking age ranges 1618. in plenty of places though, the official drinking age is ignored, and even young children can buy alcohol if they have the money to pay for it.no matter how old you are, you should always be responsible with alcohol. teenagers in milan are now learning that their reckless (不顾后果的) drinking behavior may come at a high price.by ariel lown lewiton, 21st teens staff文章大意：米兰刚刚出台了新法令，任何商家都不能向16岁以下的人出售酒，否则会面临700美元的罚款。其实，很多国家都有这种饮酒最低年龄的限制。56the new law by the city of milan_.a. aims to keep italys sipping culture alive b. forbids selling alcohol to people under 16 c. is welcomed by italian young people dhas reduced the number of underage youths getting drunk答案：b细节理解题。由第二段的第三、四两句话“now, the city of milan has created a law that will stop anyone under 16 from buying alcohol. anyone who sells or gives alcohol to a person under 16 can be fined up to $700.”可知，该法案禁止出售酒给16岁以下的人。57which of the following places has the lowest drinking age? a. milan b. new yorkc. mexico d.

it.”可知，在很多地方，年轻人只要有钱就能买到酒。lawmakers in the united states have expanded an investigation into the use of location-tracking systems on mobile devices. the action follows recent reports about the storing of information on the apple iphone. some people consider location tracking to be a threat to personal privacy and security.allan friedman, the research director, says, “all wireless companies do some location tracking as part of their networks. this information is usually stored by the companies, not the devices, and there are laws to protect it. law enforcement(执法) agencies, for example, have to have a fairly high standard before it can access that data. and the phone company is also prohibited from selling that information.now, two researchers report that location tracking information is being stored directly on apple devices. they said apples newest operating systems gather global positioning system and timestamp information. the information is stored on the device in a file that is also uploaded (上传) to any computer that the device is connected to. the researchers say the information is available to anyone who has access to the device or computer.allan friedman says, “this raises additional concerns. theres the idea that because its on my phone and on my computer, rogue applications(恶意程序) that i pay for or that im tricked into downloading may be able to access this data and somehow misuse it.”apple says it is “not tracking the location of your iphone”. it is simply keeping a database of wi-fi hotspots and cellphone towers near the users location. this information is meant to help the iphone quickly find its location when needed.letters have been sent to some of the leading mobile device developers, including apple and google. the letters asked for more information about their location tracking systems. allan friedman calls this an important start to strengthening privacy laws. he says, “there arent strong controls over things like location information, what they are doing with it, how long they are keeping it. and perhaps the most important question is, is my location data with other facts about me?”5.why did american lawmakers investigate the use of location-tracking systems on cell-phones?a. because the systems can store users informationb. because many users have suffered loss after using them.c. because it is thought to threaten users privacy.d. because many reporters have shown the problem of the systems.6. allan friedman believes that _.a. wireless companies focus on personal privacy.b. people are forbidden to get access to private data at willc. phone companies may sell private information secretlyd. customers may ask wireless companies to locate their tracking7. what do we know from paragraph 3?a. location tracking information is stored online.b. apples newest operating systems collect all kinds of information.c. location tracking information may be uploaded to any iphone.d. apples newest operating

misunderstand the apples systems.c. the global positioning system is to blame for rogue applications.d. the iphone can quickly find its location by using its users information.参考答案-cbda *结束 if youre into sports, youve seen it happen. youve probably even experienced it: basketball players shaking hands after four quarters of knocking each other around, tennis players leaping over the net to shake hands with their opponents (对手) after a hard-fought match, soccer players exchanging sport shirts after an intense 90 minutes, even boxers touching gloves at the beginning of each round, then hugging each other after beating each other into a pulp for 12 rounds. it seems like competitors in every event, from spelling bees to hockey, behave this way. whats going on?its all part of sportsmanship, a great tradition in sports and competition that means playing clean and handling both victory and defeat with grace, style, and dignity.what is sportsmanship? sportsmanship is defined as: playing fair, following the rules of the game, respecting the judgment of referees and officials, treating opponents with respect.some people define good sportsmanship as the golden rule of sports - in other words, treating the people you play with and against as youd like to be treated yourself. you demonstrate good sportsmanship when you show respect for yourself, your teammates, and your opponents, for the coaches on both sides, and for the referees, judges, and other officials.but sportsmanship isnt just reserved for the people on the field. cheerleaders and fans also need to be aware of how they behave during competition. sportsmanship is a style and an attitude; and it can have a positive influence on everyone around you.learning good sportsmanship means finding that the positive attitude learned on the field carries over into other areas of life. at school, for example, youre able to appreciate the contributions made by classmates and know how to work as part of a team to complete a project. you may enjoy more success at work as well, because a big part of learning good sportsmanship is learning to be respectful of others, including customers and co-workers.9. the author

their goals is how they measure success. i see individuals getting frustrated (挫败) as they struggle hard for success.one of the main reasons that cause this frustration is that people allow their definition (定义) of success to be determined by someone or something else.another is that they become frustrated at their own apparent (表面的) lack of success when comparing themselves to other people.we are individuals with individual wants, skills and experiences.we should look our own skills to determine what is successful to us.we should look inward to determine what it would mean for us to be successful in our own mind rather than someone else s.evaluating (评价) a successful person needs to look at his pathway to success, his actions, his determination and translate that into his own experience to see how he can improve himself.you must set your own course of action, and stay on your course.you alone must determine what success means to you.do what you do to the best of your ability and the rest will take care of itself.for example, i believe that i am successful but i am not a millionaire! others may not see me as successful in their eyes but that does not matter.it is how i see myself that is important to me and my life. here is the truth.being a success is doing your best, not being the best.success is not someth
