When I was a college student, I did a lot of traveling abroad. That was because a professor ______ me to do so. She said, “Now it is the time for you to travel around the world, ______ your knowledge through actual experiences and have fun?” I ______her.

Since I started to work for a ______ company, however, I have done most of my traveling through the Internet. By using the Internet, I have seen the ____ of many cities on my computer screen. And I have really made business ______, too. With the help of the Internet, I have also got ______ about food in different countries.

Therefore, I was beginning to feel that actual trips were ______ necessary when I happened to read a famous chef's (廚師) comment on the Internet. He said, “It is very difficult to have real Italian food in a foreign country, because we enjoy food and the ______ around us at the same time. So why don't you fly over to Italy and enjoy real Italian ______? “Those words reminded me of my ______advice. As information technology ______, you might be able to do without making some real trips. But this also means that you will miss the various ______ you can get from traveling.

Today there are people who ______ direct communication with others and spend much of their time on the Internet. It is not surprising to see a group of people _____ not with each other but into their micro phones. It seems as if such people are _____ by an invisible wall. They seem to be losing out on a good chance to _____ and talk with other people. I do not think that they are taking good advantage of information technology.

20."Did you hear what happened to Adam Last Friday?"Lindsey whispers to Tori.
With her eyes shining,Tori brags,"You bet I did,Sean told me two days ago."
Who are Lindsey and Tori talking about?It just happened to be yours truly,Adam Freedmam.I can tell you that what they are saying is not nice and not even true.Still,Lindsey and Tori aren't very different from most students here at Linton High School,including me.Many of our conversations are gossip(閑話).I have noticed three effects of gossip:it can hurt people,it can give gossipers a strange kind of satisfaction,and it can cause social pressures in a group.
An important negative effect of gossip is that it can hurt the person being talked about.Usually,gossip spreads information about a topic-breakups,trouble at home,even dropping out-that a person would rather keep secret.The more embarrassing or shameful the secret is,the juicier the gossip it makes.Probably the worst type of gossip is the absolute lie.People often think of gossipers as harmless,but cruel lies can cause pain.
If we know that gossip can be harmful,then why do so many of us do it?The answer lies in another effect of gossip:the satisfaction it gives us.Sharing the latest rumor (傳言)can make a person feel important because he or she knows something that others don't.Similarly,hearing the latest rumor can make a person feel like part of the"in group."In other words,gossip is satisfying because it gives people a sense of belonging or even superiority.
Gossip also can have a third effect:it strengthens unwritten,unspoken rules about how people should act.Professor David Wilson explains that gossip is important in policing behaviors in a group.Translated into high school terms,this means that if everybody you hang around with is laughing at what John wore or what Jane said,then you can bet that wearing or saying something similar will get you the same kind of negative attention.The do's and don'ts conveyed through gossip will never show up in any student handbook.
The effects of gossip vary depending on the situation.The next time you feel the urge to spread the latest news,think about why you want to gossip and what effects your"juicy story"might have.

Nowadays, parents worry a lot because their children spend hours and hours in front of the TV screen. Because this doesn’t happen to only one specific family, many experts warn us that there can be some serious effects of children watching violence on television.

Children who become addicted(上癮的) to TV sit down and turn on the TV as soon as they get home. Although they have lots of homework, they become absorbed in TV programs.

Since they spend tons of time watching TV, they have less time to enjoy real life activities such as playing with friends, playing outdoor sports, or enjoying other kinds of entertainment.

There are too many violent scenes on TV. Some experts say there are 25 acts of violence per hour on TV. In addition, there are many experiments by psychologists which show how TV violence influences children. Finally, people worry that children tend to imitate what they watch on TV and may start to behave more violently.

What should be done? First of all, the government should regulate TV violence. It should also encourage people to invent and develop new technology which can block violent scenes from the programs children watch. For example, with a rating system(分級(jí)制度) and the V-chip, unfit scenes of violence and sex can be blocked out. Second, parents should monitor what their children watch. At the same time, they should make their children interested in real life activities. Then when the children start to spend more time playing with friends or reading books, parents can stop their monitoring.

It is a fact that there is more violence on TV today than there was ten years ago. Moreover, violent incidents occur more frequently in real life. It’s time to realize how harmful watching TV violence is, and it’s time to keep our children from watching violence.

1.What experts really worry is that .\

A. children spend too much time watching TV

B. TV violence has a bad influence on children

C. children become addicted to TV programs

D. children have less time to do their homework

2.The author explain how the government should control TV violence by .

A. giving an example

B. giving a definition

C. making a comparison

D. presenting research findings

3.What does the underlined word “imitate” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?

A. Explain. B. Copy.

C. Ignore. D. Avoid.

4.What is the author’s purpose for writing this text?

A. To express his own worries about TV violence.

B. To ask parents to take good care of their children.

C. To inform readers of the latest situation about TV violence.

D. To call on the whole society to save children from violence.

Red envelopes have been related to the Chinese Lunar New Year for long. I myself have had plenty of experiences both receiving and giving out red envelopes in the past, 1. I mean, who doesn’t love free money?

I’m truly surprised by the extent of people’s obsession with virtual red envelopes this year. In fact, everyone I know spent at least a day or two crazily shaking their smart phones, 2. Thanks to messaging app giant We Chat’s new feature which allows users to send money electronically, grabbing virtual red envelopes has never seemed so easy.

3. here’s how it works. Givers link their We Chat to their bank accounts, and then they can send specified amounts of money to their We Chat accounts through a personal message. They can also put the cash up for grabs in chat groups full of friends, and anyone who acts fast enough will get a share. 4.

In theory, this sounds like a fun game. I’m always for some harmless fun in life, so my natural response would be: Why not? Moreover, I’ve always believed that it’s human nature to want free stuff, regardless of whether you actually need it or not. This may not be a good quality, but it’s not against the law, 5. Considering these reasons, I really can’t fault anyone for their enthusiasm in grabbing virtual red envelopes. I would have done it too, had I not thought linking We Chat to my bank accounts was too much trouble.

A. and we know everyone likes money.

B. and generally speaking, it’s been fun.

C. if you want to be good at grabbing a red envelope.

D. Just in case you are one of the very few people still not on the bandwagon,

E. mostly trying to get as much lucky money as possible.

F. so I won’t get all judgmental here.

G. Later,receivers can transfer the funds from their We Chat back into their own bank accounts.
