But there is no such service in Green Bank, West Virginia, a tiny town four hours from the US capital, Washington D. C. Fewer than 150 people live in Green Bank, which has two churches, an elementary school and a public library. It is also home to the largest radio telescope in the world.There is a ban on Wi-Fi in Green Bank, along with anything else that can create electromagnetic(电磁的) waves. Officials say the waves could disturb the signals the telescope receives.For many Americans, a visit to Green Bank is a little like returning to the 1950s.To get there, you must read road signs because there is no GPS service in the town. People can connect with the Internet through telephones, but wireless service is not allowed.The observatory(天文台) is one of the largest employers in the area. The federal National Science Foundation (NSF) spends about 8.2 million a year to operate the observatory, telescope and educational center.Jonah Bauserman is a technician. If he supposes there is a signal that is not allowed in the zone, he drives to the house where the signal is coming from and checks it. But once a week, when the device is cleaned, some banned devices are allowed near it.People in the town respect the work of the scientists. And they say they are happy to live without Wi-Fi and mobile phones. “You know, instead of sitting here on our phones and other devices we re out fishing, hunting and going to each other s houses.” Everyone knows each other and communication is almost always face to face.8.

An American Town without Wi-Fi and Mobile PhonesB. Good Relationships between People in an American TownC. The Largest Radio Telescope in the WorldD. A Better Life without Wireless DevicesDThe U.S. Department of Labor statistics (统计) show that there is an oversupply of college-trained workers and that this oversupply is increasing. Already there have been more than enough teachers, engineers, physicists, aerospace experts, and other specialists. Yet colleges and graduate schools continue every year to turn out highly trained people to compete for jobs that arent there. The result is that graduates cannot enter the professions for which they were trained and must take temporary jobs which do not require a college degree.On the other hand, there is a great need for skilled workers of all sorts: carpenters, electricians, mechanics, plumbers, TV repairmen.These people have more work than they can deal with, and their annual incomes are often higher than those of college graduates. The old gap that white-collar workers make a better living than blue-collar workers no longer holds true. The law of supply and demand now favors the skilled workmen.The reason for this situation is the traditional myth that college degree is a passport to a prosperous future. A large part of American society matches success in life equally with a college degree. Parents begin indoctrinating (灌输) their children with this myth before they are out of grade school. High school teachers play their part by acting as if high school education were a preparation for college rather than for life. Under this pressure the kids fall in line. Whether they want to go to college or not doesnt matter. Everybody should go to college, so of course they must go. And every year college enrollments (入学) go up and up, and more and more graduates are overeducated for the kinds of jobs available to them.One result of this emphasis on a college education is that many people go to college who do not belong there. Of the sixty percent of high school graduates who enter college, half of them do not graduate with their class. Many of them drop out within the first year. Some struggle on for two or three years and then give up.12. Its implied but not stated in the passage that _.A. many other countries are facing the same problemB. white-collar workers in the US used to make more money than blue-collar workersC. fewer students will prefer to go to college in the futureD. the law of supply and demand has a strong effect on American higher education13. Which of the following is NOT a reason why college enrollments go up every year?A. Many people believe that the only way to success is a college education.B. Many parents want their children to go to college.C. High school teachers urge their students to go to college.D. Every young man and woman wants to go to college.14. By saying that “many people go to college who do not belong there”, the author means that _ .A. many people who are not fit for college education go to collegeB. many people who do not have enough money go to collegeC. many people who go to college drop out within the first yearD. many people who go to college have their hopes destroyed15. We can infer from the passage that the author believes that _ .A. every young man and woman should go to collegeB. college education is a bad thingC. people with a college education should receive higher payD. fewer people should go to college while more should be trained for skilled jobs第二节（共5小题每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项How to Love Your ParentsEven if you think that your parents are mean-spirited at times, loving your parents is a normal and fulfilling part of life.

Amazing at how skillful they were, I was determined to be just as good. Later on, I often watched them careful to learn their techniques.
