17."I can't live without my mobile phone!"is what I often hear people say as they talk about how mobiles have become an essential part of their lives.
The all so common sight of heads bent,eyes staring at mobile screens and fingers busy tapping away repeats itself across major cities around the world.Whenever there is a moment to spare while on the train,taxi or waiting in a queue,people busy themselves with their mobile phones.
Some people believe our unhealthy obsession(着迷) with mobile phones is destroying how we appreciate the little things in life or miss the moments that matter.The truth is that  technology overall should be seen as just a tool to improve our lives.
Mobile phones have certainly had a great influence on our lives,but I truly believe it is for the better.
It's changed the way we communicate,whether for work or play.We are now less constrained(限制)by time and geographical location.With my mobile phone,I can dial into conference calls while stuck in a traffic jam,or reply to urgent e-mails while on the go.I can send a text message or share photos and videos with friends who aren't living in the same country.My phone calendar keeps my life organized,and even Facebook,Twitter,and instant messaging are now accessible from mobile phones!
The mobile revolution isn't just changing the lives of urbanities (都市人) like myself.I know of a young Bangladeshi woman named Shompa Akhter who is crazy about fashion and design.She dreamt about starting her own business and she did just that,opening a shop in Kushtia featuring her own creations.Dealing with supplies in different towns was a problem for Shompa---purchase orders had to either be hand delivered or mailed out to supplies.Shompa also found it tough publicizing her business to potential customers outside her town.But once she learnt to operate the mobile phone,she was addicted.The 25-year-old businesswoman now stays in touch easily with her suppliers.Mobile e-mail is a blessing in her life.
Who would have thought that mobility could bring about such enormous change?It shouldn't really be a surprise though.

9.Can you imagine a world without chocolate?It's not something I'd 1ike to do.so I was relieved to read that there's a university with a program me to safeguard the future of chocolate!
The University of Reading,in England,has just opened a new clearing house for all the world's new cocoa varieties.They must be quarantined(隔离检疫)before they can be grown.Why?Cocoa production hit a record high of 4.4million tons last year but about 30%of the precious crop is regularly lost to pests and diseases.Now we don't want that,do we?
Demand for chocolate has been increasing faster than the world supply of cocoa and researchers think that new varieties are key to solving this problem.
The University of Reading has been protecting the quality of the new crops since 1985,after it took over the task from the Royal Botanical Gardens in Kew,London.And it has improved its facilities.The leader of the institution's cocoa project,Professor Paul Hadley,says,"One of the main issues concerning cocoa improvement is the supply of reliably clean,healthy,interesting cocoa material."
The cocoa centre has a collection of 400plant varieties and their greenhouse uses a lot of  energy to keep them in tropical conditions.After up to two years in quarantine,clean and safe  seeds are sent to some 20countries,including several in West Africa.That's where 75%of the  cocoa used for chocolate worldwide comes from.The crop is extremely important for the local  economy:it employs about two million people.
Professor Hadley says he works with a small team of skilled technicians who look after the collection.And more of us seem to count on them now.
The scientist says,"there is some concern within the industry that demand is increasing constantly,particularly in countries like China,where the standard of living is increasing and  people are getting a taste for different chocolates."

28.What is the text mainly about?A
A.Safeguarding cocoa seeds.     B.Planting cocoa worldwide.
C.Keeping cocoa in greenhouse.  D.Finding the new market for cocoa.
29.The institution's cocoa project is toC.
A.have cocoa skin removed      B.offer more jobs to people
C.ensure the quality of cocoa  D.supply cocoa for two million people
30.What does the last paragraph tell us?B
A.The taste of chocolates is changing.      
B.Demand for cocoa is increasing fast.
C.People are concerned about cocoa varieties.
D.Chinese have a long history of eating chocolates.
31.What's the purpose of the text?D
A.To educate.    B.To advertise.    C.To warn.  D.To inform.
10.According to figures released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS),the U.K.has about 7.7million families with dependent children,of which 3.7million have just one child,compared to 3million with two and 1.1million with three children or more.The number of families today with just one dependent child is now 47percent and will likely rise to more than 50percent in a decade.As the ONS confirms,"It appears that families are getting smaller."
One obvious reason for this could be that women are putting off having children until they have established careers when they are bound to be less fertile.But it could just as well be a matter of choice.Parents must consider the rising cost of living,combined with economic uncertainty and an increasingly difficult job market.And this trend may continue growing as having an only child becomes more normal,which seems to be the mood on the mothers'online forum Mumsnet,where one member announced that she"just wanted to start a positive thread about how fab it is to have an only child".
She had received 231replies,overwhelmingly in the same upbeat spirit.Parents of only children insist there are plenty of benefits.Nicola Kelly,a writer and lecturer who grew up as an only child and is now a married mother of one,says her 15-year-old son seems more grown-up in many ways than his contemporaries.
Not all products of single-child families are as keen to repeat the experience.In a moving recent account journalist Janice Turner wrote about her own keenness to"squeeze out two sons just 22months apart"as a reaction to her only-child upbringing.
She was placed on a pedestal by her doting parents,whom she punished with a"brattish,wilful"rejection of everything they stood for.Desperate for a close friend she was repeatedly shattered by rejection and refers to her childhood as being"misery".
Writer and clinician Dr.Dorothy Rowe,a member of the British Psychological Society,says that we all interpret events in our own individual way and there are some children who no matter what their circumstances feel slighted,while other children see the advantages of their situation.
However,the one part of life that is unlikely to get any easier for only children is when they grow up and find themselves looking after their own parents as they become older.

58.The passage is written with the purpose ofC.
A.illustrating the strength and weakness of having an only child
B.analyzing the reasons why having an only child becomes popular
C.presenting us with different opinions about having an only child
D.guiding people to look at the same issue from different perspectives
59.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4mean?B
A.Nearly half of families intend to have just one child.
B.All people don't stand for the idea of having an only child.
C.Some people fail to recognize the advantage of having an only child.
D.People brought up in an only child family resist downsizing the family.
=60.From what Dr.Dorothy Rowe said,we know thatD.
A.journalist Janice Turner experienced a miserable childhood
B.she has a positive attitude towards Janice Turner's reaction
C.it's necessary for us to look at the event from our own angle
D.some are unable to make an objective assessment of their conditions
61.What can be inferred from the passage?D
A.It's normal to see the imperfection in character in only children.
B.Mumsnet is an online forum which promotes having an only child.
C.Economic development plays a determining role in the family size.
D.Only children will have difficulty in attending to their parents.
11.Charter schools operate with public money but without many of the rues that Sovem tradi-tional public schools.In the Uruted States the rules for charter schools difFer from state to state. But in Seneral these schools havegreater freedom to decide what to teach and how to teach it.
    The"charter'is a perfarmance contract.It establishes thegoals of the school and other details like how student performance will be measured. Forty-seven million students attend traditional public schools.But more than a million students attend charter schools:
    And now a group of charter schools have formed the Green Charter Schools Network. The idea is to have environmentally friendly school buildings but toalso go further than that.The schools teach students to become involved in community issues that affect them and the environ-ment. For example,youg children grow crops in a school garden and leam about healthy eat-ing.Older students help recycle waste from the cafeteria.And local schoois share what they grow in community gardens with people in need.
    Jim McGrath is president.of the Green Charter Schools Network. He says there are about 200"green"charter schools across the United States. He says the plan is to also include tradi-tional public schools as well as private schools.
    Jim McGrath:"The most important thing is that every one of us-every child,every adult-has a reaponsibility that their action,every action we make has an effect on the earth  that we live in. And that our natuntl resources are not unlimited. And that if we want a positive earth for future generations,we all need to make comnutments to be agents of change so that we don't destroy our natural resources.
    The Green Clarter Schools Network holds its first national conference this October in Min-nesota.It will include companies and orgaizations like Waste Management and the Uruted States Green Brulding Council. We sincerely hope that their goal is to expand the movement across the country.
