C
A 17-year-old boy, caught sending text messages in class, was recently sent to the vice principal's office.The vice principal, Steve Gallagher, told the boy he needed to focus on the teach- er, not his cellphone.The boy listened politely and nodded, and that's when Mr.Gallagher noticed the student's fingers moving on his lap.He was texting while being scolded for texting."It was a subconscious act," says Mr.Gallagher, who took the phone away."Young people today are con-nected socially from the moment they open their eyes in the moming until they close their eyes at night. It's compulsive."
A study this year by psychology students at Covenant College in Lookout Mountain, Ga., found that the more time young people spend on Facebook, the more likely they are to have lower grades and weaker study habits. Heavy Facebook users show signs of being more sociable, but they are alsomore likely to be anxious, hostile or depressed.
Almost a quarter of today's teens check Facebook more than 10 times a day, according to a2009 survey by Common Sense Media, a nonprofit group that monitors media's impact on families.Will these young people get rid of this habit once they enter the work force, or will employers cometo see texting and 'social-network checking' as accepted parts of the workday? Think bac.k.Whentoday's older workers were in their 20s, they might have taken a break on the job to call friends andmake after-work plans.In those earlier eras, companies discouraged non-business-related calls, and someone who made personal calls all day risked being fired. It was impossible to imagine the con-stant back-and-forth texting that defines interactions among young people today.Educators are alsobeing asked by parents, students and educational strategists to reconsider their rules."In past gen-erations, students got in trouble for passing notes in class.Now students are good at texting withtheir phones stiU in their pockets," says 40-year-old Mr.Gallagher, the vice principal,  ”and they're able to communicate with someone one floor down and three rows over.Students are just fun-amentally different today.They will take suspensions rather than give up their phones."
66.The underlined word“a subconscious act" in the first paragraph refers to an act______
A.on purpose                      B.without realization
C.in secret                       D.with care
67.Young people addicted to the use of Facebook______.
A.are good at dealing with the social relationships and concentrate on their study
B.have high spirits and positive attitudes towards their life and work
C.have been influenced mentally in the aspects of behaviors and habits
D.are always in bad mood and have poor performance in every respect
68.Through the situation of today's older workers in their 20s, it can be inferred that______.
A.the employers will not accept young people's sending text messages
B.a cellphone is a must for today's older workers instead of young people
C.the employers prefer older workers to young people
D.the employers will find it hard to control the interaction among young people

B.are alwa)-s the big problem for the educators and their parents
C.like sending text messages but those today do it in a more secret and skillful way

Are you ready to do your bit to stop global warming? Do you want to let the world know that you believe it is not doing nearly enough to fight climate change?

On Saturday, March 29, you will have a chance to communicate your concerns—to tell Ottawa and the entire world that you are devoted to doing your part.

You can do it by turning off your lights during Earth Hour, from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. Started last year by the World Wildlife Fund in Sydney, Australia, Earth Hour this year is going international, with 17 cities signed up so far, including Toronto. Others include Chicago, Manila, Tel Aviv, Copenhagen, Melbourne, and Christchurch, New Zealand.

The challenge for us Torontonians will be to show we are as devoted to fighting global warming as Sydneysiders were last year, when more than 2.2 million of them participated and slashed the city's power use by 10 per cent for the planned hour.

Of course, one hour of darkness isn’t going to stop global warming. But the thinking behind Earth Hour is that it gets people personally involved. Besides giving people a chance to register their concerns over climate change, the goal is to get them to start changing their wasteful habits. And we all have them, including some we aren't even aware of.

Did you know, for example, that you are still drawing power if you leave your cellphone charger plugged in after charging your phone? The same is true for other electronic devices that you think you've turned off.

If you want to make a difference, sign up today at http://www.wwf.ca/EarthHour and make a pledge (宣誓) to turn off your lights when Earth Hour arrives on March 29. Persuade your friends, co-workers and your employer or employees to do their part.

But don't wait for this symbolic gesture to raise awareness that we all have to be part of the solution. Start today to think about changes that can be made in your home and your workplace that will cut down on waste and greenhouse gas emissions (排放).

63. The passage mainly calls on people of _____ to join in the March 29th activity.

    A. Sydney         B. Toronto          C. the world         D. the 17 cities 

64. The Earth Hour movement mainly aims to get people to _______ to save our earth.

    A. sense the danger       B. make a pledge

65. Which is implied in the passage that should not happen in our daily life?

     

                 

66. The best title for the passage is _____.

    A. A Chance to Help Save the Earth       B. A Chance to Help Prevent Pollution
