Seven tips to good table manners
Whether it's a dinner at a friend's house or a business meeting over lunch, we judge people based on their table manners. But what can you do if your kids do not behave themselves at the dinner tables? The following are seven tips to set your children on the road to good table manners:
●Look for the good. Instead of pointing out all the things your children do wrong, point out what they do right. Please say, for example, “I am so proud of you. It was wonderful the way you served yourself.”
●Don’t turn dinner into an unpleasant “lecture time”. That will turn kids off not only manners, but dinner, and you, too.
●Check your own example. Don't show up for dinner in just your underwear (内衣) unless you want your kids to do the same.
●Don't always consider your kids lazy and dirty ones. Instead, point out the behavior in a tender way. For example: “ It’ s a good idea to unfold your napkin, so if food falls you won’t dirty your clothes.”
●Teach your kids good manners in the form of a game. One night a week, try to have a formal dinner. Try dressing up, serve a special meal, and expect more formal manners. That will help improve their sense of manners.
●Make kids understand part of the tradition. Invite guests over and let kids help serve them. This helps them indirectly learn about table manners.
●Try dining out once in a while. Fast food restaurants aren't counted. Try a nice restaurant and let kids order their own food, pay the bill and give the tip.
56. Which of the following should parents do to help their kids learn good table manners?
A. Try dining out in fast food restaurants once in a while.
B. Point out what’s wrong with the kids’ behavior at dinner.
C. Keep telling the kids how to behave themselves at dinner.
D. Improve kids’ sense of manners by having a formal dinner at times.
57. The kids should do the following EXCEPT ____________________.
A. going to a formal dinner in underwear
B. helping parents to serve the guests
C. ordering their own food and paying the bill
D. unfolding the napkin to keep their clothes clean
58. The underlined part “turn kids off” in the second tip probably mean “_______________”.
A. make kids pleased with
B. make kids interested in
C. make kids tired of
D. make kids fond of
（B）
Most people today think of chocolate as something sweet to eat or drink and can be easily found in stores around the world. It might surprise you that chocolate was once highly treasured.
The wealthy people of Spain first enjoyed a sweetened chocolate drink. Later, the popularity of the drink spread throughout Europe. Chocolate remained a drink that only wealthy people could afford to drink until the eighteenth century. During the period known as the Industrial Revolution, new technologies helped make chocolate less costly to produce.
Farmers grow cacao trees in many countries in Africa, Central and South America, but these trees are difficult to grow. They require an exact amount of water, warmth, soil and protection. After about five years, cacao trees start producing large fruits called pods, which grow near the trunk of the tree. The seeds inside these pods are harvested to make chocolate. Growing cacao is very hard work for farmers. Today, chocolate industry officials, activists, and scientists are working with farmers. They are trying to make sure that cacao can be grown in a way that is easy for the farmers and safe for the environment.
The market value of the yearly cacao crop around the world is more than five billion dollars. Chocolate is especially popular in Europe and the United States. Each year, Americans eat an average of more than 5 kilograms of chocolate per person. Specialty shops that sell costly chocolate are also very popular. Many offer chocolate lovers the chance to taste chocolate grown in different areas of the world.
59. We can learn from the passage that chocolate was ___________________.
A. served with a drink in old times
B. popular with people around the world
C. a drink enjoyed by the rich in old times
D. bought easily in stores in old times
60. What made it possible to produce chocolate not expensively?
A. A warm climate.
B. Official aid.
C. New technologies.
D. Scientific protection.
61. What should ideal cacao farming be like？
A. Simple and time-saving.
B. Safe and labour-saving
C. Easy and labour-saving
D. Easy and environment-friendly.
62. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Scientists are trying to help people find various cacaos.
B. The chocolate industry is developing rapidly only in European countries.
C. People in America love to produce dear chocolate.
D. Chocolate making is probably a big business internationally.
（C）
In the US and Britain, the slogan around colleges was “Save water. Shower with a friend.” Now, Wuhan University has invented another system for the campus bathhouse. It charges students for the amount of time in a shower. Before entering the bathhouse, students pay for the amount of time they want in the shower with cash or their student ID card. The clock starts ticking the minute the tape is turned on. It pauses when a button is pressed for soap. An integrated circuit(IC) card reader at each tap shows the time. No money, no water. The benefits of the new system can be seen with the old system, which charged 1 yuan for each person regardless of time in the shower. The university used about 320 tones of water daily under the old system, but only 160 tons now.
Many students use the new system but opinions on it are divided. Some students say it is bad because bathing had become a sort of race. Many people using it for the first time are not sure how long they need to shower. Some might be embarrassed if th eir time is up and they’re still covered in soap. They have to ask the bathhouse worker to help them buy extra time.
“It’s a flaw in the system that you can not buy extra time on the ID card,” said Ren, a freshman in Wuhan University. The university is als o considering some students’ suggestions that they be allowed to pay after they’ve finished the shower. Not surprisingly, some are complaining about losing the hour shower. But many students say the move helps them develop a water-saving sense.
Without the time limits, most students tended to shower for 30 minutes to an hour in the bathhouse. Some even used the hot water to wash their clothes. “In my experience, 10-20 minutes is enough,” said Dai Zhihua, a third-year student who usually takes 8 minutes. A similar system has been installed in other universities. Shanghai Normal University introduced it at its Fengxiang Campus in September. The bathing fee there is 0.2 yuan per minute. One male student responded by setting
a record with a two-minute shower.
63. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. Having finished bathing, the student has to pay for it.
B. The clock times all through while the student is bathing except when the bather paused for soap.
C. If money runs out, there will be no water.
D. Students pay for the amount of time they want in the shower.
64. The underlined word “flaw” (Paragra ph3) most probably means_______________.
A. perfection
B. advantage
C. pity
D. fault
65. It can be inferred from the passage that_________________.
A. the new operation can solve the water crisis
B. the new operation can raise stu dents’ environmental awareness
C. a similar operation has been set in other universities
D. the university has saved a lot of water by using the new system
（D）
For a stay-at-home mom, a computer with an Internet connection can truly be a lifeline(救生索). When diapers and baby talk become just too much, adult talk is just a click away. But for some moms, the attraction of the online world becomes too strong to resist(抵制) and instead of being an occasional thing, it becomes an addiction(瘾).
Coleen Moore of the Illinois Institute for Addiction Recovery says she is seeing a growing number of young stay-at -home moms for whom blogs and social networking have become a passion, which will harm their real-world lives.
Now, Internet addiction is not officially recognized as a mental disorder. But a recent survey showed 14 percent of Internet users find it hard to stay away from their computers for several days at a time, and that 8 percent use the Web to escape problems. Considering this, it is probably just a matter of time before it is.
What drives a mom to the Internet is not different from what drives an alcoholic（酒鬼） to drink: an empty place that needs filling. "In addiction treatment, we talk about the fact that there's a void(空虚),"says Moore. "Whatever that void may be — whether it's emotional, spiritual, physical—we're trying to fill it." So, how can you find the void? A journal tracking when and why you go online and what you may be avoiding when you do so can be helpful in finding it out.
But what makes Internet dependence special is the fact that usually it is not just a way to escape the tiring parenting or make a connection with others, but also a way to make a statement and be heard.
66. It can be inferred from the third paragraph that the author believes _________________.
A. most people find it hard not to use computers
B. the Web is a healthy way for moms to escape family problems
C. surfing the Internet can help solve the mental disorders of moms
D. Internet addiction will sooner or later be officially recognized as a mental disorder
67. What's the fourth paragraph mainly about?
A. What a void is.
B. How to treat Internet addiction.
C. Why moms go online.
D. How to track your behavior.
68. If a mom wants to get rid of Internet addiction, she should ___________________.
A. talk to online friends
B. try to fill the empty space in life
C. create a new online name
D. ask an alcoholic for some advice
69. According to the passage, for some moms, the Internet is all of the following EXCEP_____________.
A. a way to be heard
B. a way to talk to others
C. a way to make statements
D. a way to learn to be a mother
70. In which part of a newspaper would you most probably read the passage?
A. Business.
B. Travel.
C. Politics.
D. Life.

When it comes to the world of computers, green computing is becoming one of the most popular trends. But, what is exactly is green computing?
The term “green computing” is one that is being used in many different markets and areas all over the world in today’s global technology. Yet, many computer users out there aren’t sure what it means. Green computing is actually pretty easy to explain and to do---it is basically learning to use computer resources efficiently to help the environment as well as making energy savings. The main goal of a green computing program is to reduce the use of energy and materials that harm the environment. Green computing helps to promote the Green computing started as early as 1992, when the EPA created Energy Star, a voluntary labeling program promoting energy efficient computing equipment and technologies.
It was because of this program that many computer manufacturers launched sleep mode and millions of computer users all over the world began to adopt this policy to help save energy when they were not using their computers. The term “green computing” began to be used around the same time as well, and began to become a goal that more companies strive to meet over the years. There are several government agencies that have continued to help strive for better standards for computers and companies to help promote green promoting．Energy Star was actually revised in October of 2006 to make the requirements stricter for computers, and also implemented a ranking system for products．Because of these new requirements, there are over 20 states that have now established a special recycling program for old computers and electronics to help with green computing.
Many of today’s IT systems are beginning to rely on both people and hardware to help push their computer systems toward a more green computing system to help both the company and others．This is a hard balance to achieve, as it has to satisfy users, management, and regulatory compliance（顺从）．Even the disposal of computer waste is all managed so that everyone in the circle is happy with the outcome．Many companies are learning the best ways that they call go greener when it comes to their computing and also help their business in the process．While many home computer users may not be quite as familiar with green computing as large firms, this term is starting to become more mainstream all over the world and the requirements for new, better computers to help both the companies and the end users of the equipment, as well as our environment, are becoming more and more urgent.

Mary had some mental problems. So she went to see the doctor. The doctor was new, and did not know her. So he first asked her some questions. One of the questions was "What is your age? Well," Mary answered, "I don't quite remember, doctor. But I will try to think. "She thought for a while and then said, "Yes, I remember now, doctor. When I married, I was twenty-two years old, and my husband was thirty then. Now he is sixty, I know, and that is twice thirty, and so I am twice twenty-two. That is forty-four, isn't it?"。
