Many people imagine American culture is a collection of popular symbols like these. Actually, these symbols are only one small part of American culturepop culture.What is pop culture? Well, pop is short for popular. The origins of pop culture can often be traced to popular movies, television shows, music stars and sports figures. Pop culture is also promoted(促进) by business and advertising. The most common examples of American pop culture appear among high school and college students. Trends set by famous personalities quickly become part of young peoples lifestyles.American pop culture has spread around the world. One major reason for its popularity is that English is a universal language. English is the language of diplomacy(外交), international business and transportation. Since language and culture go together, learning English means becoming aware of English-speaking cultures. Also, America is a world leader in movies, music and magazines. The kind of American culture communicated in those media is pop culture. Finally, pop culture is easy to package and to export. For that reason, it is easy to “sell” to the world.Many people assume that American pop culture is what America is all about. Does pop culture reflect the true culture of America? Yes and no. Pop culture does represent a part of American societyespecially urban young people. But American pop culture is faddish and ever-changing. It is an artificial(人为的) and superficial(表面的) picture of America. If you want to learn about real American culture, youll have to go a little farther than McDonalds.40.

But the Global Text Project hopes to create a free library of one thousand electronic textbooks for students in developing countries.The aim is to offer subjects that students may take in their first few years at university. The books could be printed or read on a computer or copied onto a CD or DVD.Richard Watson is the acting head of the department of management information systems at the University of Georgia，who says the idea goes back several years. He was teaching a computer programming class but did not have a good textbook. So he asked his students each to write part of the book that he would organize and edit. By the end of the term, Professor Watson had a finished product. Since then he has used it for other classes. Now, Professor Watson is seeking volunteers to supervise(监督) the creation of books for the library. He is looking for professors or other professionals.The Global Text Project is similar in technology to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (a reference work containing articles on a wide range of subjects) that anyone can edit on the Internet. But only one or two people will be able to make the final edits in texts.The project includes a committee(委员会) of scholars, mostly from developing countries, to advise on required textbooks and their contents.The groups first book on information systems is being tested in Ethiopia and Indonesia. The plan is to offer about ten free books within the next year, including an English grammar text. Project organizers also want to offer textbooks in Arabic, Chinese and Spanish. They are working with a translation company and students could also get involved. For example, a student learning English in an Arab country could translate part of a book into Arabic. Then another student and the class professor could check the translation.44. The main subject discussed in the passage is _.A.

Smart home technology will allow all sorts of electronics and appliances（家用电器） to be able to communicate with each other and perform various tasks. Whenever someone wants to have a snack, but does not feel like making something, why not have the refrigerator suggest something based on what it has inside of it. Not only that, it would communicate with the microwave to prepare the cooking power and time for that particular dish.Nearly all major appliances in the future will take advantage of this technology through home networks and the Internet. Smart home technology is a way for ordinary electronics and appliances to communicate with each other, consumers, and even manufacturers. Many consider a smart home to be one that is networked. Others feel it is a home that has appliances that will allow the consumer to do little or no work, but a smart home really is all of that combined, and more. Not only will all consumer products be networked, but they will also make life easier and more entertaining. Smart home technology is currently being developed and carried out for all rooms in the house, in particular the kitchen and the living room.Many of todays products are becoming “smart.” Kitchen refrigerators, microwaves, and stoves are using this technology. Even washers and dryers have the technology today to be more automated(自动化的) to fit peoples needs. Products in the bathroom will even start to use smart home technology. Electric razors, toilets, and showers will have some sort of automation built in. Smart home technology is still in its early stages but will soon make a great effect on everyones lives.48.

During the past twenty years, science has played an important part in shaping the character of our civilization. The welfare, stability, and security of our nation and the continuation of a free society are closely related to the discoveries of science and the applications of these discoveries. The scientific revolution we are beginning to experience, together with the trend toward world industrialization, demands a program of science education with new emphasis, purpose, and content. Simply knowing about the existence of the scientific enterprise is not enough for effective citizenship.Young people need to understand how our society depends upon scientific and technological advancement and to realize that science is a basic part of modern living. The scientific process and the knowledge produced cannot be considered to be ends in themselves, except for the classic scientists. A student should understand the relation of basic research to applied research, and the connection between technological developments and human affairs. More of technology than science will be involved in social decisions, but both are important in public policy.The knowledge and methods of science are of little importance if there is no inclination(趋势，走向) to use them properly.
