新思维假期作业寒假吉林大学出版社系列答案If you hear the sound of running water the next time you call a co-worker on his or her mobile phone, don’t be surprised. Three-fourths of Americans with mobile phones say they use them in the bathroom, a new study shows.
Approximately(大约) the same number of men and women have used the phone in the bathroom, according to a survey of 1,000 Americans by 11 mark, an integrated marketing agency, although men seem more attached to IT in the toilet: 30 percent of men versus(VS) 20 percent of women agreed with the statement, "I don't go to the bathroom without my mobile phone."
More than half the surveyed users (63 percent) said they have answered a phone call in the bathroom, and almost half (41 percent) reported initiating a phone call. That's not all, however. What goes on behind the walls of the stalls(小隔间) is anything a mobile phone is capable of. Sixty-seven percent said they have read a text, and 39 percent have surfed the Web. Men work more from the bathroom — 20 percent said they have participated in work-related calls, versus 13 percent of their female colleagues.
As expected, Gen Y(1981年后出生的一代) respondents(调查对象) are the pacesetters(先导者) in the "mobile everywhere" movement, with 91 percent using their phone in the bathroom. Still, older generations are not far behind. Eighty percent of Gen X(1961-1981) reported using the phone in the bathroom, as did 65 percent of Baby Boomers(1946-1965) and 47 percent of the Silent Generation(1925-1945).
While online, they are doing more than just surfing; 16 percent of Gen Y report they have made an online purchase while in the bathroom. Users of iPhones are particularly likely to browse and buy in the bathroom – 22 percent have made a purchase, versus 10 percent of Americans with mobile phones overall.
"The writing is on the stall," said 11 mark principal Nicole Burdette. "This study confirms what we all know: that the last private place is no longer private."
In the process, high-tech hygiene(卫生) is taking a hit, the survey found. While 92 percent of mobile phone users said they wash their hands after using the bathroom, only 14 percent said they wash their phones.
1.Which is the best word to replace the underlined word "initiating"?
A. receiving B. experiencing C. ending D. beginning
2.According to his words, Nicole Burdette mainly wants to tell us that .
A. no wonder mobile phones are used in the bathroom
B. the bathroom is a private place for people
C. it makes people have no privacy at all
D. more men have used the phone in the bathroom
3.What does the last paragraph of the passage imply?
A. Using phones in the bathroom has a bad effect on hygiene
B. Mobile phones should not be allowed to use in the bathroom
C. Most people care about the hygiene after using the bathroom
D. Few people wash their phones after using the bathroom
4.The attitude of the author to the use of phones in the bathroom is ______
A. supportive B. disapproval C. subjective D. objective
(吉林省实验中学2007届高三第四次模拟考试)
I ran into a stranger as he passed by. “I’m so sorry!” was my reply. Then he said. “Excuse me too——I wasn’t 21 watching for you.” We were very polite, this stranger and I. Then we went 22 our way after saying goodbye.
But at 23 , a different story is told. How we treat our loved ones, young and old. Later in the kitchen, as I 24 our meal, my daughter walked up to me , very still. When I turned, I 25 knocked her down. “Get out of the way!” I shouted with a frown. She stepped away silently, with her little heart 26 . I didn’t realize how harshly I had spoken.
That night, when I lay 27 in bed, God’s quiet voice spoke to me, “While 28 with a stranger, you are calm and polite, but with those you love, you are QUICK to excite—Go look around on the kitchen floor, you will find some flowers there by the 29 . Those are the flowers she brought for you. She 30 them herself—pink, yellow, and your favorite blue. She stood there quietly, and you never saw the 31 in her eyes.”
By this time, I felt sad and small and now my own tears had begun to fall. I quietly went and knelt by her 32 , “Wake up, my dear,” I said. “Are these the flowers you picked up for me?” She smiled, “I found them out by the tree. I 33 them in a napkin, just for you. I knew you’d like them, especially the 34 .” I said, “I am so sorry that I missed them today—and I 35 have fussed（发牢骚）at you that way.”

Do you know that: if you die tomorrow, the 37 you are working for could easily replace you in a matter of days. But the family you leave 38 will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into our 39 than into our families—an unwise investment indeed.
