When our family moved to the United States six years ago, none of us spoke any English. 52 we had begun to learn a few words, my mother suggested that we all should speak English at home. Everyone agreed, but our house became very 53 and we all seemed to avoid each other. We sat at the dinner table in silence, preferring that to 54 in a difficult language.

According to a study, about two-thirds of survey participants use the Internet for news often entertainment-related or for online games. About half download music and movies.They also tend to prefer instant messaging to e-mail, and they are depending on the Internet more frequently than before to communicate with others who have the same professions, hobbies and political interests. Online purchases still remain unpopular in China. Three-quarters of users surveyed have never bought anything over the Internet, and only 10 percent make purchases even once a month. Among those who do buy online, most pay for entertainment while others buy phone cards, or computer hardware or software.“Many people dont trust the quality of goods bought online,” Guo said Wednesday. “If they buy it in a store and dont like it, they can easily bring it back.”The survey was done in five major cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu and Changsha. Results do not necessarily project countrywide because Internet use in rural areas is lower than in cities. Guo describes the typical netizen in the five cities surveyed as young, male, richer and more highly educated. Males make up two-thirds of the Internet community, and more than 80 percent of users are under 24. Among people ages 25 to 29, 60 percent to 80 percent go online.China has more than 100 million people online, second in the world to the United States.56. A typical Chinese Internet user will be the one who _. A. likes to send e-mails B. likes to buy goods online C. likes to pay for entertainment D. likes the games sites57. Online purchases still remain unpopular in China mainly because _. A. it is more difficult for sales returns B. people havent computers C. people cant have a look at the goods D. goods bought online are of low quality58. Which of the following words fails to describe the typical netizens in the five cities? A. well educated B. richer C. female D. young59. According to the text, which of the following shows the right relation between online people and their ages? A. B. C. D. BYears ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers advised, “Barbara, be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience.”How right they were!“Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm” Wrote Ralph Waldo EmersonIt is the paste that helps you hang on there when the going gets tough. It is the inner voice that whispers, “I can do it!” When others shout, “No, you cant!” It took years and years for the early work of Barbara Mclintock, a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted. Yet she didnt stop working on her experiments. Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping. We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder and it is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such youthful air, whatever their age. At 90, cellist Pablo Casals would start his day by playing Bach. As the music flowed through his fingers, his stooped shoulders would straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes. As author and poet Samuel Ulman once wrote, “Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.” Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money or title or power. Patricia Mellrat, retired director of the Missouri Repertory Theater in Kansas City, was once asked where she got her enthusiasm. She replied, “My father, long ago, told me，I never made a dime until I stopped working for money.” If we cannot do what we love as a full-time career, we can as a hobby. Elizabeth Layton Wellsville，Kan，was 68 before she began to draw. This activity ended periods of depression that troubled her for at least 30 years and the quality of her work led one critic to say, “I am tempted into a genius.” We cant afford to waste tears on“might-have-been”. We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after“what-can-be”We need to live each moment whole-heartedly, with all our sensesfinding pleasure in the sweet smell of a back-yard garden, the simple picture of a six-year-old, the beauty of a rainbow.60.

As a child whose family lives along the Nile thousands of years ago, your name would be made up of several words. Each morning you would wake up to the sun-not an alarm clock-and start the day with prayer to the main god of your town. You would wear good luck charms to make things go well and make the gods happy.After a big breakfast, which has to last you until the evening meal, you would go to work with your parents. Boys would go with their fathers and girls with their mothers, learning the jobs their parents did and helping them with their work. Only scribes and doctors went to school. When payday comes, your parents receive baskets full of food and clothing from the people they work for. Your family doesnt miss having money, because there is no such thing.Boys learn the songs the men sing to make their wo
