     Proper arrangement of classroom space is important to encouraging interaction. Most of us have noticed
how important physical setting is to efficiency and comfort in our work. College classroom space should be
designed to encourage the activity of critical thinking.
     We are in the twenty-first century now, but step into almost any college classroom and you step back in
time at least a hundred years. Desks are normally in straight rows, so students can clearly see the teacher but
not all their classmates. The message behind such an arrangement is obvious. Everything of importance comes
from the teacher.
     With a little imagination and effort, unless desks are fixed to the floor, the teacher can correct this situation
and create space that encourages interchange among students. In small or standard-sized classes, chairs,
desks, and tables can be arranged in a variety of ways. The primary goal should be for everyone to be able to
see everyone else. Large classes, particularly those held in lecture halls, unfortunately, allow much less
flexibility.
     Arrangement of the classroom should also make it easy to divide students into small groups for discussion
or problem-solving exercises. Small classes with movable desks and tables present no problem. Even in large
lecture halls, it is possible for students to turn around and form groups of four to six. Breaking a class into
small groups provides more opportunities for students to interact with each other, think out loud, and see how
other students' thinking processes operate all essential elements in developing new modes of critical thinking.
     In courses that regularly use a small group format, students might be asked to stay in the same small
groups throughout the course. A colleague of mine, John, allows students to move around during the first two
weeks, until they find a group they are comfortable with. John then asks them to stay in the same seat, with
the same group, from that time on. This not only creates a comfortable setting for interaction but helps him
learn students' names and faces.
1. The primary purpose of desk rearrangement is _____.
A. for the teacher to divide students into small groups
B. to make it possible for students to interact with each other
C. for the teacher to find out how students think
D. to give students more opportunities to practice speaking
2. Which of the following can best explain the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2?
A. There is not much change in educational idea over the past hundred years.
B. Critical thinking was encouraged even a century ago.
C. College classrooms often remind people of their college life.
D. A hundred years ago, desk arrangement in a classroom was quite different.
3. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. Students are allowed to change groups throughout the course in John's class
B. It's impossible for students to make up small groups in large lecture halls
C. A comfortable environment leads to higher working efficiency
D. New kinds of desks and chairs should be made
4. The author mentioned John in the last paragraph in order to _____.
A. create a comfortable setting for interaction
B. introduce an approach of learning students' names and faces easily
C. give an example that students stay in the same seat throughout the course
D. describe a good seat-arrangement mode in courses with small group format

　　The name “Television” comes from the Greek word “tele” meaning “far” and the Latin word “videre” meaning “to see” . Thus television means “seeing far” .

　　Television brings the world into our homes in sight and sound. Nowadays there are few families in big cities that don' t have TV sets. Experiments leading to modern television took place more than a hundred years ago . John Baird, a British inventor, found a way to send pictures by wireless. This happened in the year 1925 and it was the beginning of television. It took another thirty years for television to be an industry.

　　During these years, many important uses have been found. For example, television makes it easy for a whole class to see everything a teacher shows. Any number of students may look through a microscope at the same time when television does the “l(fā)ooking” for them. It can also be used to watch process ([pr+uses]過(guò)程) in places where it would not be safe for a human being to be present.

     Kelly Reeves was getting ready for a trip when her phone slipped into a sink full of water. Panic
moment! She quickly picked up the wet phone and tried to turn it on, but nothing worked. Her first
reaction? She got dressed, drove to the nearest store, and bought a new model at full price.    
     A new study finds that fear of losing your phone is a common illness. About 66 percent of those
surveyed suffer from nomophobia or "no mobile phone phobia". Interestingly, more women worry
about losing their phone than men.    
     Fortunately, there's a solution.    
     The first step is to figure out if you have nomophobia. Checking your phone too often is one
thing,but the true sign of a problem is that you can't conduct business or go about your routine when
the fear becomes so severe.    
     Do you go to unusual lengths to make sure you have your phone? That's another sign of a
problem.If you find you check your phone plenty of times per hour, or a total of an hour per day,
there may be a problem.    
     Some of the treatments are similar to those for treating anxiety attacks: Leaving the phone behind
and not checking e-mail or text messages, and then learning to tolerate the after anxiety. Even if this
leads to a high level of worry and stress, the solution is to push through the fear and learn to deal
with not having your phone.    
     Of course, there are also technological alternatives. Luis Levy, a co-founder at Novy PR, says
he uses an application called Cerberus that can automatically track the location of his phone. To
find it, he can just go to a Web site and see the phone's location.    
     He also insures his phone through a service called Asurion. The company's description of its
product reads like a prescription for anxiety: "60 million phones are lost, stolen or damaged each
year. You'll have complete peace of mind knowing that your phone is protected and you can
quickly reconnect with family, friends and work, as soon as the very next day!"
1. Why does the author mention Kelly's experience in the first paragraph?
A. To introduce the topic for discussion.
B. To inform us that mobile phones are useful.
C. To warn us that we should be careful.
D. To tell us we should get phones ready for a trip.
2. The underlined word "nomophobia" in Paragraph 2 means ________.
A. Habits of using mobile phones.
B. Fear of losing mobile phones.
C. Eagerness for new mobile phones.
D. Independence of mobile phones.
3. Which of the following is a way to treat nomophobia?
A. Avoiding using phone for some time
B. Learning more about modern technology.
C. Protecting one's phone against any damage.
D. Not using a mobile phone in one's daily work.
4. Why can the service called Asurion help to treat nomophobia?
A. It lets you know other people also lose their phones.
B. It will give you a new phone through insurance.
C. It enables you to reconnect with your acquaintance.
D. It gives you a prescription to treat nomophobia.
5. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Attitude toward mobile phone.
B. New mobile phone technology.
C. Disadvantages of mobile phone.
D. Solutions to nomophobia

閱讀理解。
     The rise of multinational corporations (跨國(guó)公司), global marketing, new communications
technologies, and shrinking cultural differences have led to an unparalleled increase in global
public relations or PR.
     Surprisingly, since modern PR was largely an American invention, the U.S. leadership in public
relations is being threatened by PR efforts in other countries. Ten years ago, for example, the
world's top five public relations agencies were American-owned. In 1991, only one was. The
British in particular are becoming more sophisticated and creative. A recent survey found that
more than half of all British companies include PR as part of their corporate (公司的) planning
activities, compared to about one-third of U.S. companies. It may not be long before London
replaces New York as the capital of PR.
     Why is America lagging behind in the global PR race? First, Americans as a whole tend to
be fairly provincial and take more of an interest in local affairs. Knowledge of world geography,
for example, has never been strong in this country. Secondly, Americans lag behind their European
and Asian counterparts (相對(duì)應(yīng)的人) in knowing a second language. Less than 5 percent of
Burson-Marshall's U.S. employees know two languages. Ogilvy and Mather has about the
same percentage. Conversely, some European firms have half or more of their employees fluent
in a second language. Finally, people involved in PR abroad tend to keep a closer eye on
international affairs. In the financial PR area, for instance, most Americans read the Wall Street
Journal. Overseas, their counterparts read the Journal as well as the Financial Times of London
and The Economist, publications not often read in this country.
     Perhaps the PR industry might take a lesson from Ted Turner of CNN (Cable News Network).
Turner recently announced that the word "foreign" would no longer be used on CNN news
broadcasts. According to Turner, global communications have made the nations of the world
so interdependent that there is no longer any such thing as foreign.
1. According to the passage, U.S. leadership in public relations is being threatened because _______.
A. an unparalleled increase in the number of public relations companies
B. shrinking cultural differences and new communications technologies
C. the decreasing number of multinational corporations in the U.S.
D. increased efforts of other countries in public relations
2. London could soon replace New York as the center of PR because ________.
A. British companies are more ambitious than U.S. companies
B. British companies place more importance on PR than U.S. companies
C. British companies are heavily involved in planning activities
D. Four of the world's top public relations agencies are British-owned
3. The word "provincial" in Para.3 most probably means"________."
A. limited in outlook
B like people from the provinces
C. rigid in thinking
D interested in world financial affairs
4. We learn from the third paragraph that employees in the American PR industry ________.
A. speak at least one foreign language fluently
B. are ignorant about world geography
C. are not as sophisticated as their European counterparts
D. enjoy reading a great variety of English business publications
5. What lesson might the PR industry take from Ted Turner of CNN?______
A. American PR companies should be more internationally-minded.
B. The American PR industry should develop global communications technologies.
C. People working in PR should be more fluent in foreign languages.
D. People involved in PR should avoid using the word "foreign".
