     Imagine a classroom missing the one thing that's long been considered a necessary part to
reading and writing paper.No notebooks,no textbooks,no test paper.Nor are there any pencils
or pens,which always seem to run out of ink at the critical moment.A"paperless classroom"is
what more and more schools are trying to achieve.
     Students don't do any handwriting in this class.Instead,they use palm size,or
specially-designed computers.The teacher downloads texts from Internet libraries and sends
them to every student's personal computer.
     Having computers also means that students can use the Web.They can look up information
on any subject they're studying from maths to social science.
     High school teacher Judy Herrell in Florida,US,described how her class used the Web to
learn about the war in Afganistan(阿富汗) over one year ago.
     "We could touch every side of the country through different sites from the forest to refugee
camps(難民營),"she said."Using a book that's three or four years old is impossible."
     And exams can go online too.At a high school in Tennessee,US,students take tests on
their own computers.The teacher records the grades on the network for everyone to see and
then copies them to his own electronic grade book.
     A paperless classroom is a big step towards reducing the waste of paper.High school
teacher Stephanie Sorrell in Kentucky US said she used to give about 900 pieces of paper
each week to each student.
     "Think about the money and trees we could save with the computers,"she said.But,with
all this technology,there's always the risk that the machines will break_down.So, in case of
a power failure or technical problems, paper textbooks are still widely available(可用的) for
these hitech students.
1.What does the part of the last but one sentence in the first paragraph,"run out of ink at
the critical moment" mean?
A.Pens may not write welt at the critical moment.
B.Pens get lost easily,so you may not find them at the critical moment.
C.Pens may have little or no ink at the critical moment.
D.Pens use ink,while pencils don't.
2.In a paperless classroom, what is a must?
A.Pens.           
B.Computers.  
C.Information.               
D.Texts.
3.The high school teacher,Judy Herrell,used the example of her class to show that________.
A.the Web could take them everywhere
B.the Web taught them a lot
C.the Web is a good tool for information
D.the Web,better than the textbooks,can give the latest and comprehensive(全面的) information
4.The paperless classrooms will benefit ________ the most.
A.students          
B.teachers  
C.trees              
D.computers
5.What does the phrase in the last paragraph,“break down”,mean?
A.Break into pieces.        
B.Stop working.
C.Fall down.              
D.Lose control.

US first lady Michelle Obama is among the world’s 100 most powerful women on a list topped by German premier Angela Merkel for four years in a row, according to a Forbes ranking released recently.
Michelle Obama debuted(初次露面)at No.40,coming in ahead of talk show host Oprah Winfrey at 41 and Britain’s Queen Elizabeth at 42.
Sheila Bair, chair of the US Federal Deposit Insurance Corp, which insures bank deposits,remained NO.2 after debuting on the Forbes list last year. She has gained increased fame as the US recession(經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退) lasts.
The list is based on factors such as economic impact, media reach and career accomplishments. Former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice fell off the list after leaving office in January. Rice’s successor (繼任者),Hillary Clinton, came in at NO.36, dropping from No.28 last year when her presidential bid made her the woman with the highest public profile on the list.
“women im power are rising to leadership positions in business, government and philanthropy (慈善)by making daring and unconventional moves,”Forbes said.“Gone are the days of women feeling they must stick with one employer and patiently wait for promotions.”
“Highly ambitious women… are moving across companies and industries, making big leaps with each change, and repositioning themselves for opportunities that allow them to gain a breadth of experience,” the business magazine said.
Merkel,55, became the first female premier of Germany in 2005 and succeeded in retaining(保留) power in a federal election not long ago.
Michelle Obama,45,has won fans for her down-to-earth personality, her support of causes including healthy eating and the arts.
