surprised. they are a flash mob(暴民). who are they? are they mobs? dont be confused by their name. actually, a flash mob is a group of people who gather suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a brief period of time, and then quickly disappear. they are usually organized with the help of the internet or other digital communications networks. the messages may be sent to friends, who send to more people. at a predetermined time, they gather and perform some activities such as exchanging books, coming together to look at the sky, waving their hands and yelling something at the top of their voice for 30 seconds. then, they quickly disappear before the police can arrive. using mobile phones, the flash mob can change its place if the first one has been cancelled for any reason. bill wasik, senior editor of harpers magazine, organized the first flash mob in manhattan in may 2003 and the first successful flash mob gathered on june 3, 2003. wasik claimed that he created the flash mob as a social experiment designed to laugh at fashion seekers and stress the cultural atmosphere of wanting to be an insider or part of “the next big thing”. flash mob gatherings can sometimes shock people. such an activity might seem amusing and magical, but it also might frighten people who are not aware of what is taking place. undoubtedly, flash mob can serve as good political tools and have great potential, such as using flash mob to advertise a product. the flash mob is now becoming more and more popular. people use it to do many things. for example, in 2009, michael jacksons fans took part in a flash mob to remember him. hundreds of his fans gathered singing and dancing michaels famous song “beat it” together. flash mobs give people from all walks of life an opportunity to come

in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.in addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. the idea came from seattle librarian nancy pearl who launched (发起)the if all of seattle read the same book project in 1998. her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other american cities, and even to hongkong.in chicago, the mayor(市长)appeared on television to announce the choice of to kill a mockingbird as the first book in the one book, one chicago program. as a result, reading clubs and neighbourhood groups sprang up around the city. across the us, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character. the only problem arose in new york , where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. this may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity(一致)can be achieved .or it may show that new yorkers rather missed the point ,putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself. ultimately, as nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process, or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.16. what is the purpose of the project launched by nancy?a. to invite authors to guide readers.b. to encourage people to read and share.c. to involve people in community service.d. to promote the friendship between cities.17. why was it difficult for new yorkers to carry out the project?a. they had little interest in reading.b. they were too busy to read a book. c. they came from many different backgroundsd.t hey lacked support from the local government18. according to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out?a. in large communities with little sense of unityb. in large cities where libraries are far from homec. in medium-sized cities with a diverse populationd .in large towns where agreement can be quickly reached19. the underlined words “shared a word” in paragraph 5 probably mean a. exchanged ideas with each otherb. discussed the meaning of a wordc. gained life experience d. used the same language20. according to nancy, the degree of students of the project is judged by_a. the careful selection of a proper bookb. the growing popularity of the writersc. the number of people who benefit from reading.d. the number of books that each person reads.【参考答案】1620、bcdac 2016高考英语阅读理解-社会现象类childrens allowance. many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance(零用钱). the purpose is to let them learn from experience at an age when financial (财政的;财务的;金融的)mistakes are not very costly. in any case, parents should make clear what the child is expected to pay for with the money. at first, young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. if so, theyll learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget(预算). parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance. it is to show them that a budget demands choices between spending and saving. many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home. these jobs are a normal part of family life. paying children to do extra work around the house, however, can be useful. it can even provide an understanding of how a business works.allowances give children a chance to experience what they can do with money. they can share it in the form of gifts or give it to a good cause. they can spend it by buying things they want. or they can save it. saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice: they have to cut costs and plan for the future. requiring children to save part of their allowance can also open the door to future saving and investing. many banks offer services to help children learn about personal finance.【小题1】giving

planning to open the first hotel in space says it is on target to accept its first paying guests in 2012 despite critics questioning the investment and the length of time for the multibilliondollar project.the barcelonabased architects of the galactic suite space resort say it will cost $4.4 million for a threenight stay at the hotel. this price also includes an eightweek training course on an island. during their stay, guests would see the sunrise 15 times a day and travel around the world every 80 minutes.galactic suite ltds ceo xavier claramunt says the project will put his company in a leading position of a new industry with a huge future ahead of it, and forecasts space travel will become common in the future. “its very normal to think that your children, possibly within 15 years, could spend a weekend in space” he told reuters television.a promising space tourism industry is beginning to take shape with construction in progress in new mexico of spaceport america, the worlds first facility built specifically for passengers. british industrialist richard bransons space tours firm, virgin galactic, will use the facility to send tourists to space at a cost of $200,000 a ride.galactic suite ltd, set up in 2007, hopes to start its project with a single pod (分离舱) in orbit 280 miles above the earth. “it will take a day and a half to reach the pod, and the passengers will join it for three days,” claramunt said. more than 200 people have expressed an interest in traveling to the space hotel and at least 43 people have already reserved it.the numbers are similar for virgin galactic with 300 people already paid or signed up for the trip, but unlike branson, galactic suite says they will use russian rockets to transport their guests into space from a spaceport to be built on an island in the caribbean. but critics have questioned the project, saying the length of time that will be
