New technology marrying the Internet with mobile phones will be the next big wave in telecommunications and will have a great effect on the way of life-industry, experts in Singapore for an international conference side last week.
Consumers（消费者） will soon be showing of tiny “communication devices” that join mobile telephone ,Internet terminals（终端机） ,music systems, cameras and other uses, Nokia executive（总裁） Bo Lisoe said.
The devices will become smaller, and as common as watches ,Lisoe believed.“We have to liberate the internet from the desktop and we have to rethink what a mobile phone is , because it's no longer a mobile phone ,”said Lisoe, a marketing director for Nokia.
Tiny, wireless computers using satellites and video-on-demand services will soon have people “switching（转换） between your stock （股票）prices and television programs ”wherever they go ,said Sugra Venkat, a communications director at Oracle Corporation .Bothe executives were in Singapore for Communic Asia' 99,Asia's largest telecommunications conference. More than 27,000 industry insiders and 900 companies were connected with the Jane 22-25event, organizers said.
Though small ,portable (手提的) Internet computers with built-in mobile phones are already on the market ,they have had limited success. Internet-telephone technology(IT) must be made easier to use ,and must be used no matter what kind of phone one has ,Lisoe said .This will be aided largely by a planned mobile phone operating system called Symbian ,he added.
Increased access（路径） to communication satellites and mobile phone networks, along with faster and larger international cable systems, are likely to make wireless Internet access explode in the next few years, said some scientist who attended the conference .
56．Which of the following is true to the conference?
A．The conference lasted four days ,paying close attention to the use of IT.
B．Only executives and managers attended the conference held in Singapore.
C．Many latest internet-telephones were on show at the conference
D．Communic Asia' 99 is the largest international conference in Asia. 57．The internet computer with built-in mobile phones do not sell well probably because they .
A．are too big to carry when one is traveling
B．are difficult to use and have to be fixed to particular phones
C．are not as common as watches
D．can't do the work of a common telephone
58．When Subra Venkat says “switching between your stock prices and television programs”, he
really means the new devices will .
A．soon appear on the market and become easy to use
B．be much easier to turn on or turn off
C．help the user to have more programs to choose
D．bring in much money as well as happiness
59．The new devices will depend most on .
A．mobile phones of a special kind
B．mobile phones networks
C．internet-telephone technology
D．batter international cable systems

Every pet owner loves his pet .There is no argument here.
But when we asked our readers whether they would clone their beloved animals , the responses were split almost down the middle . Of the 228 readers who answered it ,108 would clone, 111 would not and nine weighed each side without offering an opinion .
Clearly, from readers' response, this is an issue that reaches deeply into both the joy and eventual (最终的)sadness of owning a pet. It speaks, as well, to people's widely differing expectations over the developing scientific procedure (步骤)ycy Most of the readers who favored the idea strongly believed it would produce at least a close copy of the original; many felt the process would actually return an exact copy. Those on the other side, however, held little hope that clone could truly recreate a pet; many simply did not wish to go against the natural law of life and death.
Both sides expressed equal love for their animals. More of them owned “the best dog/cat in the world”. They thought of their pets as their “best friend” or “a member of the family”. They told moving stories of pets' heroism, intelligence and selfless devotion.
Little wonders the loss is so disturbing---and the cloning so attractive. “People become very close to their animals, and the loss can be just as hard to bear as when a friend or family member dies,”says Gary Kowalski, author of goodbye, Friend: Healing Wisdom for Anyone Who Has Ever Lost a Pet. “For me, cloning feels like an attempt to turn death away…It's understandable. Death is always painful. It's difficult to deal with. It's hard to accept.”
But would cloning reduce the blow? This question seems to be at the heart of this problem.
60．So far as the cloning of pets is concerned, a recent survey shows that, of all pet owners, .
A．a lot more of them are for it
B．a lot more of them are against it
C．very few of them are willing to tell their opinions
．D．about half of them are for it and the other half against it
61．The expression “eventual sadness of owning a pet.” (in paragraph 3) refers to .
A．the death of one's pet ycy
B．the final ownership of a pet
C．the troubles one has to deal with in keeping a pet
D．the dangers involved in the cloning of a pet
62．In spite of their differences on the problem of cloning, it seems that .
A．all pet owners love their pets very much
B．all pet owners try to go against the natural law of life and death
C．people who support cloning love their pets more
D．people who dislike cloning love their pets more
63．From what Gary Kowalski says, we can know that he .
A．has never thought about the problem of cloning
B．thinks it hard to accept the idea of cloning pets
C．is in favor of the idea of cloning pets
D．is all against the cloning of pets
C
Winter's short days are more than cold. For many people, winter depression, the most common type of Seasonal Affective Disorder(SAD), is as much a part of the reason as hats and scarves(围巾).
Winter serious SAD sufferers may need medical treatment. Those feeling a little blue can help themselves by sticking to a healthy lifestyle. Here are some tips: Pace yourself. Don't expect to do everything you normally can. Set a realistic schedule. Don't listen to negative thinking, like blaming yourself or expecting to fail.
Get involved in activities that make you feel good or feel like you've achieved something. For example, play table tennis or badminton.
If you are feeling depressed, you may feel like staying away from friends. Yet this is a time when friends support can be helpful. Call them regularly. Remember, the more we put off calling or visiting a friend, the harder it is to rebuild a friendship.
Think clearly about what's wrong or right. Instead of giving in to vague feelings of sadness, look at your problems objectively. Break down problems into specific issues that you can work on.
Regular exercise helps to prevent and ease depression.
Eat well. Studies show that a healthy diet can help to maintain(keep) a healthy body and mind. The vitamins, minerals and micro-nutrients found in a balanced diet may help our bodies to produce feel-good hormones(荷尔蒙). Foods containing chemicals to help produce feel-good hormones include bananas, turkey, nuts and seeds. Eat at least five pieces of fruit and vegetables every day.
P.S. Symptoms(症状) of SAD:
No interests or pleasure in things you used to enjoy
Increased need for sleep
A change in eating habits, especially an appetite for sweet or starchy(含淀粉的) foods
Weight gain
A heavy feeling in the arms or legs
A drop in energy level
Difficulty in concentrating
Overly emotional
Avoidance of friends and social situations
Frequent feelings of guilt
Long-term feelings of hopelessness, and physical problems, such as headaches 64．The writer of the passage agrees that ___________.
A．the cold in winter makes us suffer from SAD
B．hats and scarves are as important as SAD
C．everyone of us meets SAD in winter
D．we are blue mainly because of short days in winter
65．We may infer that ___________ according to the passage.
A．a more darkness will make us sad
B．we should wear hats and scarves in winter
C．a healthy lifestyle prevents us from serious SAD
D．staying away from friends makes us depressed
66．When we pace ourselves, we ___________ .
A．don't do anything we can B．make a practical plan
C．expect to succeed in nothing D．think something of guilt
67．The passage includes the following except ___________ .
A．the earlier we meet friends, the easier it is to rebuild a friendship B．if we give up to unclear feelings of sadness, we'll be caught in the SAD C．playing table tennis helps us achieve whatever we want
D．feel-good hormones from a balanced diet can help keep a healthy body

Deep into the night, the bus pulled in to a Howard Johnson's restaurant and everybody got off the bus except Vingo. The young people began to wonder about him , trying to imagine his life. One of the girls sat beside him and introduced herself. After a long time, slowly and painfully, he began to tell his story. He had been in prison in New York for the last four years, and now he was going home.
“Well, when I was in prison I wrote to my wife. I said, ‘Martha, I understand if you can not stay married to me'. I said I was going to be away a long time, and that if she couldn't stand it , if the kids kept asking questions, if it hurt her too much, well, she could just forget me . Get a new young man—she's wonderful woman—and forget all about me. I told her she didn't have to write to me, and she didn't. Not for the three and a half years.”
“Last week, when I was sure freedom was coming through, I wrote to her. I told her that if she had a new young man, I would understand. But if she didn't, if she
would take me back, she should let me know. We used to live in the town, Brunswick, and there's a great big oak tree just as you come into the town. I told her if she would take me back, she should put a yellow handkerchief on the tree, and if she didn't want me, forgot me, no handkerchief and I'd keep going on through.”
Soon all the others were in it. When they were 20 miles from Brunswick, the young man took over window seats on the right side, waiting for the approach of the great oak tree. Vingo stopped looking, tightening his face into the ex-con's mask. Then it was 10 miles, and then 5, and the bus became very quiet.
Then suddenly all of the young people were up out of their seats, screaming and shouting and crying, doing small dances. All except Vingo.
68．In the story, the yellow handkerchief probably means .
A．happiness B．sadness C．I hate you D．I still love you
69．Vingo stopped “ looking, tightening his face into the ex-con's mask…, ”because .
A．he was excited to think of his wife B．he was ashamed for what he had done C．he was afraid to see the handkerchief and his wife D．he was afraid that he might not see the yellow handkerchief on the oak tree
70．The bus became quiet when it came near the town because all the passengers .
A．got tired after a long journey B．got too sad to say anything C．grew excited and anxious to see the oak tree D．were attracted by the story
71．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Going Home. B．A Handkerchief and an Oak Tree C．A Long Bus Journey D．A Story of an Oak Tree

It's important that we should take care of our eyes , otherwise we may get
short-sighted. Now take Xiao Ming for example .Xiao Ming is a top student in our
class. He likes reading very much. But he has a bad habit of Reading. The way he
reads is wrong. He pays no attention to the care of his eyes. For example ,he reads
in sunshine or moonlight :he often reads as he is walking or on a bus. Sometimes
he reads as he is having a meal . Sometimes he even reads in bed . Day by day ,he
has got something wrong with his eyes. He has become short-sighted . What an unlucky
boy he is !
So I suggest that we should have the right way to read books to keep our good eyesight. 小课堂：如何培养中学生的自主学习能力？
