American novelist Margaret Mitchell was the author of one of the most famous novels ever written,Gone with the Wind (19S6) ,for which she won the Pulitzer Prize in 1937. An Ameri?can film adaptation, in 1939 received a record-breaking number of Academy Awards.
Margaret Mitchell was born on November 8 , 1900 in Atlanta,Georgia.
Her father was president of the local historical society and her mother was president of one of the South's suffragette(鼓吹婦女參政) groups. She was also a strict woman who did not want to spoil(溺愛) her daughter. Apparently? Mitchell grew up listening to stories about the battles the Confederate Army had fought there during the American Civil War. At the same time the awareness of women's rights formed in her mind at a young age. Later, she used these tales as inspiration for her famous novel.
At the age of 22 ,Mitchell began a career as a journalist, but an ankle injury forced her to rest at home. By that time she had married and started to work on her novel, which took ten years to complete. When a traveling book editor visited Atlanta in search of new material, she unwillingly let him have a look at her manuscript(手稿) .Gone with the Wind was published when Mitchell was 36.
Gone with the Wind is a clearly drawn tale of the American Southern life during and after the Civil War,which is told through the lives of two families,their relatives,friends and slaves. It centers on Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler. It has been praised as the first novel to tell the story of the Civil War from a Southern woman's point of view. The effect Gone with the Wind had and still has on the world is immeasurable. With Gone With the Wind Margaret brought a promising message to all people "Tomorrow is another day".

The principal of New Milford High School has nearly 12,300 Twitter followers. He and his teachers use Facebook to communicate with students and parents,and students use it to plan e-vents. In class, teachers routinely ask kids to power up their cellphones to respond to classroom quizzes. Rather than ban cellphones, Sheninger calls them "mobile learning devices".
"The Internet as we know it is the 21st century," he says. "It is what these students have known their whole lives. They're connected, they're creating, they're discussing."
He and others say working online also pushes education beyond the limits of school, allowing kids to broaden discussion of their work. And it forces them to do "authentic" work that gets tested out in the real world, as outside viewers see it and respond to it.
"Being literate in 2011 means being digitally literate. " says Chris Lehmann. "It is naive (天真的) to think that kids raised online will respond to school the same way as previous genera?tions. Kids are coming to us bored, disconnected, and it's a challenge for us to figure out how to use the tools inherent in the real-time Web.”
Perhaps the biggest objection to widespread use of social sites is the likelihood that kids will meet irrelevant or even offensive material―a fear that many teachers say is overblown.
"We as educators need to do a better job of advertising and sharing the meaningful work done with social media," says Matt Levinson. "If you keep it out,kids are creating their own cultures in this space with no guidance from adults―and that's not responsible.”
"The other big misconception is that schools with open Web access are simply letting kids play freely as if there's no structure," says Lisa Highfill, a longtime devotee of YouTuhe. She used it recently to show her students videos of tornadoes. Highfill says she chooses videos in ad?vance.
"I don't just search in front of the kids," says Highfill. She admits that even with careful planning,learning online carries risks. But the risks shouldn't be overstated. " When we go on a field trip,when we go anywhere," she says, "we warn students of the dangers of where we're going.”
( ) 5. In the opinion of Sheninger, social networking .
A.is almost the whole life of many kids
B.gets kids to learn something schools forbid
C.allows kids to complain about their learning
D.has kids get feedback on their online work
( ) 6. According to Chris,teachers are challenged to know .
A.how to make full use of social sites in class
B.how to avoid looking foolish in using social sites
C.how to connect kids with social media effectively
D.how to deal with a digital generation in class
( ) 7. The example of Highfill's using YouTube proves .
A.online learning is full of unexpected things
B.it is a risk to open the Web to students at school
C.teachers provide guidance on the Web access
D.kids play freely if having access to the Web
( ) 8. What might be the most suitable title for the passage?
A.Social networking helps online learning
B.Social sites are a wonderful place for kids
C.Social networking sites are blocked at schools
D.Social media find place in class

Japanese households are being urged to go to bed one hour earlier than normal in order to help tackle climate change.
The Japanese government has launched a campaign encouraging people to go to bed and get up extra early in order to reduce household carbon dioxide emissions.
The Morning Challenge campaign, launched by the Japanese Environment Ministry, is based on the belief that swapping late night electricity for an extra hour of morning sunlight could significantly cut the nation's carbon footprint.
A typical family can reduce its carbon dioxide footprint by 85kg a year if everyone goes to bed and gets up one hour earlier, according to the campaign.
The amount of carbon dioxide emissions potentially saved from going to bed an hour early equals 20 percent of annual emissions from household lights," Many Japanese people waste elec?tric power at night time,for example by watching TV until very late, "a ministry spokesperson told The Daily Telegraph.
But going to bed early and getting up early can avoid wasting electrical power which causes carbon dioxide emissions. If people change their lifestyle, we can save energy and reduce emis?sions. The campaign also proposes that people take advantage of an extra hour of morning sun?light by improving their lifestyles in general by running,doing yoga and eating a nutritious breakfast.
It is the latest initiative(倡議) tackling climate change by the Japanese environment minis?try,which is faced with the challenge of reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 25 percent from 1990 levels within the next three decades.
It was the same government department that launched the high-profile(備受關(guān)注的) Cool Biz campaign five years ago,which encourages workers to wear short-sleeved shirts and offices not to turn air conditioner lower than 28 degrees Celsius during summer.

A.saving electricity

D.carbon paper
( ) 7. By 2020, the Japanese hope to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from the level of 1990 by .
A. 20% B. 25% C. 28% D. 85%
