【题目】Fewer Americans are reading newspapers and more Americans are instead getting their news online, but television remains the leading source of news in the country,according to a survey.

Not surprisingly, younger people tend to get more of their news on the Internet,while older people use traditional media such as television and newspapers, the Pew Research Center's survey on the ways of getting news said. Pew said the results show an increasing change toward getting news online,but that there is now a fairly large group of betteroff people that use both traditional and online sources to get their news. The Pew researchers referred to these people as integrators (整合者), and said they accounted for 23 percent of those surveyed, spending the most time getting news on a typical day.

“Like Net news consumers, integrators are highly educated. However,they are older.” the survey said.

Pew found that the largest group of news consumers — 46 percent of those surveyed — watch television for their news at all times of the day. This group is the oldest,with an average age of 52, with 43 percent unemployed. They are unlikely to own a computer or go online for news.

The group that relies most on the Internet for news is the youngest at a median age of 35. It is also the smallest group,at 13 percent of those surveyed. Fewer than half of them watch television news regularly.

The survey was conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International. It surveyed 3,615 adults by telephone.

【题目】

You’re growing up. That means you’re probably experiencing lots of changes, all at once. Your body is changing. It might even seem as if your entire self is changing. It can be confusing and even scary. 1 And it’s good!

Growing up means that you can do more, learn more, and start to make your mark on the world. In order for that to happen, your body produces chemicals called hormones that help both body and mind grow. Hormone levels change constantly, rising and falling. 2 But it’s partly to blame for intense emotions, surprising reactions, and mood swings.

Because of the way your brain develops, it is somewhat ruled by emotion now and through your teen years. As a result, growing up can seem like an emotional roller coaster! 3

●Take care of yourself. If you eat right, sleep enough, and get good exercise, your brain will be much more able to deal with the stress.

4 When you feel your moods swinging or you’re upset, or confused, some quiet time will allow you to gather your thoughts and get calmer.

●Practice relaxing your body and deep breathing when you wake up and when you go to bed.5 Plus, when stuff happens during the day, you’ll be able to calm yourself quickly with a deep breath or two before you react. Your body is changing.

ATake a time-out.

BBut the truth is, it happens to every teen.

CWork out regularly to keep physically fit.

DThis changing is needed for your body’s development.

EIt will help you fall asleep—and start the morning right.

FHere are a few things you can do to make the ride smoother.

GUsually, these feelings settle down when you realize what is going on.

【题目】People who like travelling have their reasons. They believe that travelling can help them expand their field of view, especially in the geographical and historical sense. They also think that touring will give them more chances to enjoy different kinds of food and experience new things that would never be brought by other activities. But those who dislike travelling also have some reasons.

Travelling, in my opinion, does more good than harm. Most importantly, it broadens our mind. We can get in touch with other civilizations (文明), cultures, customs and ideas.

Through history, most people travelled because of necessity (必要性)-not for pleasure. People travelled just in order to remain alive. They searched for food to eat or places to live in. They sometimes ran away from enemies. This is not to say that no one ever travelled just for the fun of it. In ancient times, for example, rich Romans travelled all the way to Greece to take part in the Olympic Games, and festivals. Of course, some people decided to travel just out of curiosity. They wanted to find out what it looked like beyond the horizon (地平线). Also business travel has been going on for centuries. Traders could not only make money but also learn to speak several languages and be introduced to different cultures.

So, travelling does enrich our mind and draw new ideas to us. There is no doubt that we can get much from it.

1According to the passage, in the past most people travelled________.

A. for fun B. for knowledge

C. to get experiences D. to make a living

C. Five. D. Six.

3In the writer’s opinion, travelling can be________.

4What’s the main idea of this passage?

A. Different kinds of travelling.

B. Travelling enriches our mind.

C. Ways to enjoy yourself while travelling.

D. The advantages and disadvantages of travelling.

【题目】As I walked into the drugstore to pick up a roll of toilet paper and cat food the week of Halloween, I found myself being stared down by an oversized Rudolph doll. His eye expression aroused a swell of anxiety within me. This is not because I have an irrational fear of dolls. The red nose is a mocking reminder that for those of us who are members of dysfunctional(功能失调的) families, the most wonderful and challenging time of year is upon us. The issue isn’t that the holiday season brings a new, once-a-year, unpleasant feeling. Rather, this time of year enlarges the most complicated, sensitive area of my life: family.

Over the past several months, certain situations have left me emotionally raw when dealing with the subject of family, particularly my mom. The holiday season has never agreed well with her, physically or emotionally. Her first heart attack took place two weeks before Christmas when I was in the seventh grade. The song “Jingle Bell Rock” instantly took me back to driving to the hospital to visit her after her emergency heart operation. When I was at grade 2 at high school, we found ourselves awkwardly putting turkey into our mouths after my mom had come from a week-long stay in the hospital to recover from heart attack and a stroke. A girl of 15, due to the gift of having my mom alive and home to celebrate, my heart was contradictory that Thanksgiving.
