They 41 say ―I love you‖, or even call me Mom. And I didn‘t ask them to do t his way, because I 42 that I couldn‘t take the place of their real mother. When the children went to college, we quickly 43 an e-mail and chat-line service tokeep in touch with them.Late one evening, as my husband snoozed (打盹) and I was 44 my e-mail, an ―instant message‖ from Margo, my stepdaughter, appeared on the screen. As we had done in the past, we sent several 45 back and forth, exchanging the latest news. That night she didn‘t ask if it was me or her dad on the other end of the keyboard, and I didn‘t 46 myself either. After a while, I commented that it was 47 and I should get to sleep. The return message read, ―Okay, talk to you later! Love you!‖A wave of 48 ran through me, and I realized that she might have thought she was writing to her father. I 49 responded, ―Love you, too! Have a good sleep!‖Then, Margo‘s final message appeared, ―Tell Dad ‗good night‘ for me too.‖Suddenly, I realized that they‘ve 50 me for so many years.

But it seems that some people have something 53 to say about it. To them I have only this to say: stop, please!A recent article blamed Facebook‘s ability to ruin 54 , saying that it limits communication to typing and encourages people to spend far too much time with friends they have 55 met.Having used Facebook since its first year, I find these arguments false. The simple truth is that these 56 are only a symptom of using Facebook too much. Like many things, it is only as 57 to your life and relationships as you allow it to be.Facebook can be helpful. You can use Facebook to find friends who may have long ago 58 their e-mail addresses and phone numbers. You can find out what your old college friends are up to. You can 59 your friends on their latest birthday. You can also share articles and pictures you find interesting with your friends.Sure, I had days when I 60 a little more time on Facebook than I should, but I‘m not going to blame Facebook for my own fault.

They carefully chose a busy corner for their location. They had kept their own businesses for years, first a theater, then a barbecue restaurant, then another drive-in. But in their new operation, they offered a new, shortened menu: French fries, hamburgers, and sodas. To this small selection they added one new idea: quick service, no waiters or waitresses, and no tips.Their hamburgers sold for fifteen cents. Cheese was another four cents. Their French fries and hamburgers had a remarkable uniformity (一致性), for the brothers had developed a strict usual way for the preparation of their food, and they insisted on their cooks‘ sticking to their routine. Their new drive-in became surprisingly popular, particularly for lunch. People drove up by the hundreds during the busy noontime. The self-service restaurant was so popular that the brothers had allowed ten copies of their restaurant to be opened. They were content with this modest success until they met Ray Kroc.Kroc was a salesman who met the McDonald brothers in 1954, when he was selling milkshake-mixing machines. He quickly saw the special attraction of the brothers‘ fast-food restaurants and bought the right to franchise (特许经营) other copies of their restaurants. The agreement included the right to duplicate (复制) the menu, the equipment, even their red and white buildings with the golden arches (拱门).Today McDonald‘s is really a household name. In 1976, McDonald‘s had over $ l billion in total sales. Its first twenty-two years is one of the most surprising success stories in modern American business history.61. This passage mainly talks about _______.A. the development of fast food servicesB. how McDonald‘s became a billi on-dollar businessC. the business careers of Mac and Dick McDonaldD. Ray Kroc‘s business talent62. Mac and Dick managed all of the following businesses except _______.A. a drive-inB. a theaterC. a cinemaD. a barbecue restaurant63. We may infer from this passage that _______.A. Mac and Dick McDonald never became wealthy for they sold their idea to Kroc.B. the place the McDonalds chose was the only source of the great popularity of theirdrive-inC. forty years ago there were lots of fast-food restaurantsD. Ray Kroc was a good businessman64. The passage suggests that _______.A. creativity is an important element of business successB. Red and white buildings with the golden arches are essential for good businessC. Mac and Dick McDonald became broken after they sold their ideas to Ray KrocD. California is the best place to go into businessBBack those photos upThe images were striking. Homes on the East Coast were washed away by Superstorm Sandy. People were in tears, picking up faded photographs, among their only remaining possessions.If that doesn‘t move you to get serious about safekeeping your lifetime of memories, what will? The digital age offers tools never imaginable before—including one-click access to a lifetime of family photos.Here is a brochure on how to back up (存) your photos and save them online, where they can live forever and be accessible in good times and bad.ScanningThe first step for those old photos is to scan them and save them to a digital format. Most printers come with scanners these days, so that‘s an easy but extremely time-consuming step. Storing the photosWith your scans in place, import the photos into your computer, and back them up.You could make multiple copies of the disks and spread them to loved ones. Or you could choose external (外接的) hard drives or USB thumb drive, and add your photo and video collection from your computer.Online backupIf you need lots of space, look at a pure online backup service, Caronite.Caronite backs up 300 million files daily. Once you sign up, it starts to pick up everything you have on your hard drive. But photo collection on your computer‘s main hard drive charges for $59 a year.Cloud StorageFor folks who don‘t need automatic backup, but instead want to take a more active approach, Dropbox, G oogle Drive and Microsoft‘s SkyDrive let you store files online by yourself, share and instantly access them. All offer free options—2GB of free storage for Dropbox, 5GB for Google and 7GB for SkyDrive. But if you want more, you need to pay.Bottom LineThe hard drive or flash drive is the cheapest and easiest. But drives can fail. Online services are more expensive, but more secure. With more of us switching back and forth between our computers, such services are the best way to get access to our data from wherever we are.65. Why does the author mention Superstorm Sandy?A. To tell the background of the scanning photos. .B. To attract the readers‘interest in the backups.C. To describe a severe natural disaster.D. To win the readers‘symp athy.66. What can we know from the passage?A. Scanning photos takes little time but costs a lot.B. Google Drive offers unlimited free photo storage on line.C. Caronite charges for backing up photos from hard drive.D. The hard drive or flash drive is the cheapest and safest.67. Which of the following allows storing files automatically?A. Caronite.B. Dropbox.C. SkyDrive.D. Flash drive.68. The main purpose of the passage is to _______.A. tell real stories about storage servicesB. introduce some of the storage servicesC. describe the functions of storage servicesD. argue about the advantage of storage servicesC―If there is one thing I‘m sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we w ill still be reading newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives — the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think th ere will be more coverage of scientific research, though. It‘s already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic (基因) engineering. In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do — as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.It‘s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted (传送) electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, I‘m pretty sure that how it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read — sports and international news, etc.I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media. They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn‘t happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet, it‘s never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.69. What is the best title for the passage?A. The Best Way to Get NewsB. The Changes of MediaC. Make Your Own NewspaperD. The Future of Newspaper70. In the writer‘s opinion, in the future, _______.A. more big political affairs, wars and disasters will make newsB. newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longerC. newspapers will cover more scientific researchD. more and more people will watch TV71. From the passage, we can infer _______.A. newspapers will win the competition among the different mediaB. newspapers will stay with us together with other mediaC. television will take the place of newspaperD. the writer believe some media will die out72. The underlined phrase ―feed off‖ in the last paragraph means _______.A. depend onB. compete withC. fight withD. kill offDAll around the world, shoppers flock to Wal-Mart to buy everything．In Texas, they come for another reason: to see the wind turbine（涡轮机）, which supplies 5% of the store's electricity．It along with other facilities, such as exterior walls coated with heat-reflective paint, makes thisWal-Mart a green giant．The laws of economics suggest that Wal-Mart, with 5, 200 stores worldwide, influences everything including the price of all kinds of goods．It throws its weight behind environmental responsibility, and the effects could be amazing．"One little change in product packaging could save 1, 500 trees," says Wal-Mart CEO Lee Scott．"If everybody saves 1, 500 trees or 50 barrels of oil, at the end of the day you have made a huge difference．"Scott wants Wal-Mart to do its part too．He has promised to cut the existing greenhouse-gas emissions（排放）over the next few years and promised to construct new stores that are more efficient．He wants Wal-Mart's fleet（车队）of more than 7, 000 trucks to get twice as many miles per gallon by 2015．Factories that show Wal-Mart they're cutting air pollution will get preferential treatment in the supply chain．Wal-Mart says it's working with consumer-product manufacturers to reduce their packaging and will reward them if they do so．Some people may doubt it is a bid to attract attention from Wal-Mart's controversial labor and health-insurance practices．But it's not just window dressing, because Wal-Mart sees profits in going green．Scott says, "This is a business philosophy, not a social philosophy. We don't go where we don't think there's a great interes t in change.‖Like Bill Gates, who started his charitable foundation, Scott happens to be promoting Wal-Mart's image at a time when his company's reputation is declining．He acknowledges that he launched the plan partly to shield（保护，庇护）Wal-Mart from bad press about its contribution to global warming．" By doing what we're doing today, we avoid the headline risks that are going to come for people who did not do anything," he says．"At some point businesses will be held responsible for the actions they take．" Meanwhile, should Wal-Mart succeed at shrinking its environmental footprint and lowering prices for green products, both the planet and the company will profit．73. We can infer from the passage that ______．A. Lee Scott is Wal-Mart's CEOB. there are 5,200 stores in the worldC. Wal-Mart has a great influence on the world marketD. Wal-Mart has more than 7, 000 trucks all over the world74. What does the underlined sentence "This is a business philosophy, not a social philosophy."mean in the fourth paragraph?A. Wal-Mart predicts huge profits in its green activity．B. Wal-Mart's green activity is just window dressing．C. Wal-Mart aims to solve its health-insurance practices．D. Wal-Mart doesn't have any social responsibility at all．75. What will Wal-Mart probably do in the future?A. Reduce air pollution in its present stores．B. Give favorable treatment to its consumers．C. Ask the factories to reduce their packaging．D. Demand the fleet of trucks to use more fuel than before．76. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Provide the background of the green plan．B. Analyze the similarity between Bill Gates and Scott.C. Present the risk that Wal-Mart is facing nowadays．D. Stress the purpose of Wal-Mart's green plan．EThe word proactivity is fairly common in management literature, but you won't find it in the dictionary. It means that as a human being you take responsibility for your own life.Look at the word responsibility: ability to choose your response, response-ability. Effective people are proactive because they take responsibility. Their behavior is a product of their own decisions, based on values, rather than being a product of their own conditions, based on feelings. For instance, you are planning a picnic with your family. You're excited. You have all the preparations. You've decided where to go, and then it becomes stormy, killing your plan. Proactive people carry weather within them. They realize what their purpose really was, and they creatively have a picnic elsewhere even if it's in their own basement with some special games, and make the best of that situation. The opposite of being proactive is to be reactive. Reactive people would say, "What's the use?" "We can't do anything." "Oh this is so upsetting after all of our preparations and arrangements. " They try to persuade the people around them and usually the picnic will be cancelled.Being proactive is really just being true to your human nature. Your basic nature is to act, and not to be acted upon. That's true, despite widely accepted theories of determinism used to explain human nature. Determinism says that you don't really choose anything and that what you call choices are nothing more than automatic responses to outside conditions.The language of reactive people is like: " I can't." " Don't have time." " I have to." " I must." The whole spirit of that language is the transfer（转移）of responsibility. They think things are determined by their environment, or by their conditions, or by their conditioning or their genetic （基因的）makeup. Psychologically, people who believe they are determined will produce the evidence to support the belief, and they increasingly feel victimized and out of control. They're not in charge of their life at all.On the contrary, a proactive person exercises free will, the freedom to choose the response that best applies to his values. In that way, he gains control over the circumstances, rather than being controlled by them.77．According to the passage, a proactive person's behavior can result from ______.A．the environment B．an inner beliefC．the genetic makeup D．a temporary feeling78．When a picnic plan is threatened by a sudden storm, reactive people will probably _______.A．have the picnic as plannedB．make the best of the picnicC．complain and give up the picnicD．find somewhere else for the picnic79．What does "carry weather within them" in the second paragraph probably mean?A．Manage to improve the weather.B．Give in to the weather passively.C．Stress the influence of the weather.D．Find a solution to the weather problems.80．It can be concluded from the passage that determinists ______.A．accept things passivelyB．are in charge of themselvesC．are similar to proactive peopleD．respond to outside conditions activelyIV、根据首字母和汉语提示用单词的正确形式填空（共10小题：每小题1分，满分10分）81.
