“I sometimes get up at three or four in the morning and I surf the net.”
“I often check my e-mail forty times a day.”
“I often spend more than three hours during one time on the net.”
“I spend more time in chat rooms than with my ‘real-1ife’ friends.”
Do you know any people like these？They are part of a new addiction（瘾）called Internet addiction. Internet addicts spend at least thirty to forty hours online every week. The use of the Internet can be an addiction like drug （毒品）use. People lose control of the time they spend on the Internet.
For example,one college student was missing for several days. His friends were worried,and they called the police. The police found the student in the computer lab:he was surfing the net for several days straight.
Studies show that about 6 to 10% of Internet users become addicted. And people worry about the teens because the Internet is changing the playing field for some of them. They spend more time in chat rooms than in the real world of friends and family.

●You do not go to important family activities or you do not do school work because you like to spend hours on the Internet.

B. They used to work on the Internet.
C. The playing field of the teens will disappear.
D. More and more teens wil1 become addicted to the Internet.
21. The example in the passage shows that _______.
A. Internet problems are more serious among college students
B. Internet addicts usually stay in the computer lab without sleep
C. Some of the Internet users have already been seriously addicted
D. The police often help to find those Internet addicts
22. What is the writer trying to tell us at the end of the passage？
A. Watch out for Internet addiction.
B. Keep the habit of using the Internet.
C. Do things as you have planned.
D. Stay with your friends as often as possible.

Very few people were coming to eat at the White Rose Restaurant, and its owner did not know what to do. The food in his restaurant was cheap and good but nobody seemed to want to eat there.

Imagine a perfect day: the weather is good and everything seems fine. When, suddenly, your cell phone loses its signal, the television has no programs, and you can’t get online with your computer.
What has happened? These are just the types of problems a solar（太阳）storm might cause. It may not sound as serious as other natural disasters, such as earthquakes. But today, a solar storm often puts our society in danger.
A solar storm is caused by solar flares: large sudden burning near the sun. It can give off lots of energy. The strong energy can stop the satellite systems（系统）that operate our computers, networks and so on. These storms can even cause the power to go out for weeks or months.
In the past few months, scientists have recorded some of the strongest sun flares in years. The most recent one happened around Valentine’s Day. It caused radio and satellite signals to go down in some northern cities in China.
“Solar flare activity is going to be much worse than what we’ve seen in the past. We’re not talking about a few cities losing power. It could be half the country, maybe more,” Solar , a US website about space weather, warned.
Experts say that little can be done to predict such a storm. Governments around the world are trying to work together before the next storm, although they are not sure when that may happen.
27. Which of the following has nothing to do with a solar storm?
A.You can’t call your friends.
B. You can’t watch TV.
C.You can’t ring the doorbell.
D. You can’t shop online.
28. From the passage, we know that solar flares can be ________.
A. caused by strong energy
B. reported before it came
C. destroyed by satellites
D. much worse than before
29. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. A solar storm always comes with earthquakes.
B. A loud sound can be heard with a solar storm.
C. Solar storms are certain to happen some day.
D. Solar storms always appeared in February.
30. It can be learned from the passage that ________.
A. the recent sun flares happened in South China
B. The solar storm will influence our life a lot
C. The weather changes due to the solar storm
D. Scientists can predict the next solar storm

Last July,my 12-year-old car died on California’s Santa Freeway. It was an hour before sunset,and I was 25 miles from home. I couldn’t reach anyone to pick me up,so I decided to take a bus. Not knowing the routes,I thought I’d just go east.
A bus stopped. I got on and asked the driver how far she was going.“Ten more miles,” she said. There was another bus I could take from there.This clearly was going to be a long night.
I got off at the end of the route and she told me which bus to look for.After waiting 30 minutes,I began to think about a very expensive taxi ride home. Then a bus came up. There was no lighted number above its windshield. It was out of service,but the door opened. It was the same driver.
“I just can’t leave you here,” she said. “This isn’t the nicest place. I will give you a ride home.”
“You will drive me h ome on the bus?” I asked,astonished.
“No,I will take you in my car,” she said.
“It’s a long way,”I insisted.
“Come on,”she said,“I have nothing else to do.”
As we drove from the station in the car,she began telling me a story. A few days earlier,her brother had run out of gas. A good man picked him up,took him to a service station and then back to his car. “I’m just passing the favor （善意的行为）along,”she said.
When I offered her money as a thank-you,she wouldn’t accept. “Just do something nice for somebod y. Pass it along,” she said.

China covers large areas and has a great population. Different living habits have always been an interesting topic in the country. Recently, another difference between southern Chinese and northern Chinese became a hot one:the way people shop at markets.
People from southern China say that they always buy what they need for just one or two meals. It is normal for them to buy half of a Chinese cabbage,two potatoes and 0.25 kilograms of beef at a time.
However,one may be laughed at if he does this in the north. Instead,buying enough vegetables and meat for a week is usual. Also,you can buy asmall amount（数量）of fruit,such as a single apple or pear,each time in thesouth. Shop owners even help you peel and cut them. But shop owners in the north hardly offer such service. And many fruits are sold in baskets and boxes.
The difference could be due to the different weather.
Food can be kept for a long time in the north,as it is usually cold and dry there. Many northern Chinese have the habit of storing food,especially for the long winter. But the hot and wet weather in the south makes southern Chinese buy just enough food for one meal or one day,or else the food may go bad.

Habits in Russia
There is an old saying that says when in Rome,do as the Romans do. I learned the meaning of this when I stayed in Russia as a visiting scholar（学者）.
One day I invited some of my Chinese friends to a famous local restaurant in Moscow. My guests and I were excited about our meeting. We had a lively talk until the waiter told me that we were too loud. We lowered（降低）our voices. 16The waiter came over to us two more times with the same message.
How bad an impression（印象）we must have left on the local people!In China,it’s natural and important for a host（主人）to make a lovely atmosphere（气氛）. However,in Russia and Western countries,having a meal in a public place means you must keep your voice low. 17
I felt bad about this. 18
19 My Russian friend Andrey always looks around and thinks for a while before leaving home. I asked him why he did this. “Aha,”Andrey said,“In Russia,people always spend about a minute going over things and plans in their minds before leaving home. 20”
Finding the differences between culture is so much fun. I like to keep my eyes and mind open.
