7．Many people to newspaper and magazines to express their opinions．Letters to the editor must carry the writer full name，address and telephone number，although the information is not necessary for publication．This requirement to provide personal particulars is a clear indication that writers are held responsible for what they say．When a writer wants his voice heard．He needs to claim ownership of his voice．Responsibility is the name of the game．
"People today prefer living together to putting their signatures on a marriage certificate because they refuse to accept responsibility for the relationship，"said social worker Ken Yip，"and this is what is causing a lot of family problems．"When we sign a paper，for example，a business contract or a bank document，the signature is symbol of consent，an agreement to take the matter seriously．Most governments and many organizations will not process writer's complaints if they do not bear the writer's signature．The absence of a signature，they explain，tells us that the writer cannot be too serious and therefore does not deserve a reply．
  There are people who wish to remain anonymous（匿名的）for various reasons．Multi-billionaire Mr．King donates generously to charity several times a year．He gives simply because he wants to help but not for the publicity his donations may bring，and he does not want his good deeds to make news．In other cases，people insist on anonymity because they are afraid of the consequences of revealing their identity．Crime witnesses may be willing to assist the police，but most are unwilling to give their names when reporting a crime．
  Name or no name？The answer is very personal and lies in how much we want to get involved．We all have a name，it is a matter if responsibility to it when we make a statement，a claim or an accusation．We all want to honour our own name，and it is only by stamping our expression of an opinion with our own name that we honour what we say．

4．Do you ever wish for a little more time to do everything you need to do？Well，on July 1 you'll be getting it--but only one more second．
  On July 1 at exactly 7：59：59 a．m．Beijing time （or on June 30 at 23：59：59 UTC，Coordinated Universal Time），the world's atomic（原子的） clocks will pause for a single second，or，more precisely，change to the unusual time of 7：59：60，according to theverge．com．The addition of a leap second（闰秒），announced by the Paris Observatory，is to keep our clocks in time with the slowing of Earth's rotation（旋转） and astronomical time as measured by the sun．
   Just one extra second could cause big problems and affect the way computers and websites work，however．When the last leap second was added back in 2012，more than a few websites had some trouble．As reported by Phys．org，popular sites like the community website Reddit crashed when the leap second was added．
  For Reddit，the problem was eventually found to be with a Linux system that got confused when it checked the network time and found an extra second．
  Speaking to Wired about the problem back in 2012，Linux creator Linus Torvalds commented："Almost every time we have a leap second，we find something．It's really annoying，because it's code （代码）that is almost never used，and thus not tested by users under their normal conditions．"
  Companies have had to think of their own solutions，and Google's"leap smear"may be the best-known example．As company engineer Christopher Pascoe explains in a blog post，companies usually try to fix the problem by turning back the clocks by one second at the end of the day so that they play that second again．
  However，Pascoe believes this creates problems．He asked："What happens？Does e-mail that comes in during that second get stored correctly？"
  Google has a solution：Cut the extra second into milliseconds and then put these tiny amounts of time into the system throughout the day．"This means that when it became time to add an extra second at midnight，"says Pascoe．"Our clocks have already taken into account over the course of the day．"
  For many companies without Google's money，however，the leap second will likely still cause some crashes．Don't worry，though-at least it won't last long!

51．Why do we need to add a leap second？C
A．The world's atomic clocks are set to do so．
B．To keep in time with the world's computers．
C．To keep atomic clocks in time with the slowing of Earth's rotation．
D．To record the changes to astronomical time．
52．What happened to the website Reddit when the leap second was added in 2012？D
A．It crashed because of a virus attack．
B．Its network time added two extra seconds．
C．All of the code in its Linux system went wrong．
D．One of its software systems got confused and the site broke down．
53．What does the underlined word"something"refer to in the 5th paragraph？A
A．The code not working properly．
B．The extra second．
C．The problem．
D．Normal conditions．
54．How do companies usually deal with the problem of the extra second？C
A．By shutting down computers at the end of the day．
B．By stopping receiving emails that come in during that second．
C．By turning the clocks back by one second at the end of the day．
D．By cutting the extra second into milliseconds throughout  the day．
55．What's Christopher Pascoe's attitude toward Google's solution to the problem？C
A．Unfavorable   
B．Doubtful  
C．Approving  
D．Cautious．

How to Handle Our Homework
Being senior one students，we have to be buried in mountains of assignments from our respectable teachers every day．       ．
16．George claims that he read 53books in 2012．My friend and I found this fairly unbelievable，considering he seems to have a pretty full schedule．
Anyway，it appears that I am on track to read 72new books this year．But I've come to realize that this number can easily be skewed（扭曲）．For instance，currently I am reading Rising Tide：The Story of the Mississippi Flood of 1927．This book is over 700pages．It's going to take me the month of May （along with Harry Potter rereads； I can't read nonfiction while going to sleep）．So my May average will be way off．However，when I read chick-lits （鸡仔文学，都市女性文学），I can get those done in a day．I guess it all depends on what I choose to read．
In reality，reading is beneficial because it encourages us to slow down our thinking，and also to fully interpret someone else's experience．Reading keeps the mind sharp and expands a person's vocabulary．We read to educate ourselves．We read to help ourselves．We read to escape our own lives and live in that of another for a little while．

1．The year 2009 is the Year of Ox．The ox is a representative of the farming culture of China．In the farming economy （经济），oxen are the major animals pulling plows （犁）．
Of course，the good of oxen is not limited to plowing．In fact，they are seen as"boats on land"for their ability to carry loads．Besides，the whole body of an ox is full of treasures．Their meat and milk are food full of nutrition，and their skin can be used to make clothes and shoes．With all these qualities，oxen are regarded as generous creatures．
In the past，oxen played an important role in the spiritual life of the Chinese．Even today，oxen still play a special part in some folk activities．For example，some people who1ive in southwest China will cook cattle bone soup and share it among family members when holding the ceremony for children who reach 13．They believe that the cattle bone soup represents the blood relationship among family members．In order to express their love for oxen，people in some other areas will run to shake off diseases on the 16th day of the first month by the lunar calendar （农历），and during their run they will take their oxen along，which indicates they regard the creature as human．
Because of the contribution of oxen in their lives，the Chinese people are very grateful to the animal．In addition，the use of oxen in ceremonies and the thanks people owe to oxen help to develop various traditional customs，which becomes an important part of the folk culture of the Chinese nation．

A．animals for taking goods             B．creatures for pulling plows

6l．From the third paragraph，we know thatC
A．oxen are no more important today than in the past
B．ceremonies are held when people cook cattle bone soup
C．oxen are treated as human in some areas of China
D．people run with oxen to shake off diseases every month

A．The special role of oxen in farming．B．People's respect and love for oxen．
C．The practical value of an ox's body．D．The contribution of oxen to the economy．
