read When she finished she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica s closet Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor Jessica s mother sank in a faint 晕倒 waking only when Jessica put a cold wet cloth on her forehead She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter What happened Where am I she asked You just destroyed the school s skeleton Mum explained Jessica I brought it home to help me with my health project I meant to tell you but it

The Generation 90s is coming Wearing earphones using complex Net language and constantly text messaging friends the Gen 90s following the Gen 80s begin to make their world debut 初 次登台 Each generation or age group has its own symbols and lifestyle Read on and judge for yourselves if you fit the Gen 90s profile 概况 简介 Earphones These little devices seem to grow on the heads of the Gen 90s They might lead to MP3 MP4 or MP101 players giving these young people a plugged in cool and perhaps self addicted look of course life is not always music to the ears Martian language They have created their own code like online language It s a mixture of English Japanese and Chinese that perhaps only Martians can understand This 用心 爱心 专心9 is an imaginative generation though they need to be careful to keep it out of their term papers Self Portrait 肖像 Saying cheese to their own digital cameras is routine for this generation A little bit of narcissism 自恋 never hurts anyone It helps them reflect a little on their own lives But be aware of the risks of posting private photos online Text messaging They can type their mobile phones as fast as they can speak This is a generation that respects efficiency However oral communication is important and will never go out of style 60 Who are the intended readers of the passage A Teenagers B Educators C Socialists D Parents 61 According to the passage if you belong to the Gen 90s you will A just appreciate yourself and ignore others strengths B make your presentation and have your own symbols and lifestyle C have the same symbols and lifestyle of the Gen 80s D like music and dance very much 62 According to the text the writer will choose as a good example to the Gen 90 A Li Hua likes music and always wearing ipod B Zhang Chao is not only an

players and even regard 用心 爱心 专心10 them as a necessary part of life D They don t use the cool and complex online language in formal writing 64 The main idea of the passage is about A the Gen 90s happy life B the difference between the Gen 80s and the Gen 90s C the Gen 90s unique lifestyle and some practical warnings D the similarities between the Gen 80s and the Gen 90s C Millions of people are using cell phones today In many places it is actually considered unusual not to use one In many countries cell phones are very popular with young people They find that the phones are more than a means of communication having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected The explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health professionals worried Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones In England there has been a serious debate about this issue Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health On the other hand why do some medical studies show changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones Signs of change in the issues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning 扫描 equipment In one case a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age because of serious memory loss He couldn t remember even simple tasks He would often forget the name of his own son This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day every day of his working week for a couple of years His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use but his employer s doctor didn t agree What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful The answer is radiation High tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation but 用心 爱心 专心11 they say the amount is too small to worry about As the discussion about their safety continues it appears that it s best to use mobile phones less often Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time Use your mobile phone only when you really need it Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient especially in emergencies In the future mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health So for now it s wise not to use your mobile phone too often 65 The world detected in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by A discovered B removed C cured D caused 66 The salesman retired young because A he disliked using mobile hones B he couldn t remember simple tasks C he was tired of talking on his mobile phone D his employer s doctor persuaded him to 67 On the safety issue of mobile phones the manufacturing companies A deny the existence of mobile phone radiation B develop new technology to reduce mobile phone radiation C hold that the amount of radiation is too small to worry about D try to prove that mobile phones are not harmful to health D When you first meet a disabled person what is your first reaction Curiosity Sympathy If you experience any of these emotions you are not alone Chances are that you don t regularly associate with someone who is disabled Here are four points to keep in mind if you should happen to meet a disabled person Disabled people can lead active lives With few exceptions a disability does not prevent someone from working raising a family or taking part in social activities Many sports and 用心 爱心 专心12 recreation programs have been adapted to a person with a disability Instead of concentrating on the disability look at the person the same way you would look at any normal person It s all right to ask questions Many people are afraid of offending someone by asking about their disability When meeting them for the first time it s natural to be curious about who he or she is and where they re from Asking questions is usually acceptable as long as you use common sense Don t for example ask a blind person how he feeds and bathes himself Offer help when necessary You see a woman in a wheelchair having trouble entering a building It s usually appropriate to lend a hand if someone is having obvious difficulty but keep in mind that not everyone will be willing to accept your help Unless the woman in the wheelchair is in danger you do your part Remember that we all have obstacles to overcome No matter who we are each of us has a weakness or challenge to face Like you a disabled person would much rather be accepted for who they are rather than be pitied Many friends have said to me I often forget that you are blind To me that is the top compliment 68 Why are you curious when you first see disabled people A They can t live normally B You seldom deal with them C You look down upon them D They look quite different 69 What should you do if you find a disabled person can manage it A You had better lend him or her a hand B You pretend that you haven t seen him or her C You should encourage him or her to try D You had better leave him or her alone 70 From this passage we learn that A the author is blind himself B a disabled person needs pitying 用心 爱心
