“Everyone will have a new start, so do not let your past defeat your present and future. In the university, I know what I shall do. Now I have applied for a student loan, and I will work a part-time job, which I think, can cover the expense myself. I won’t add any pressure to my family.” Jia Zuosheng, 27, a security guard at the library of Beijing-based Tsinghua University before he was admitted to Shandong University, told the reporter about himself calmly.
“I am lucky. I cherished the job very much because it provided me with a good chance to read books. I took night shifts so I had plenty of time to study in the daytime. When I had problems I couldn`t work out, I plucked up my courage to consult teachers or students at Tsinghua, who were all friendly to me, and helped me a lot. ”
“My dream is to be a college teacher, to educate students with my knowledge and love and help them enjoy true, kind and beautiful things. That’s also the reason why I took the national entrance examination again. Although, however, I’m old enough to get married, I hope my parents would understand what I want to do.”

It was the first snow of the winter---an exciting day for every child but not for most teachers. Up to now, I had been old enough to dress myself, but today I would need some help. Miss Finlayson, my kindergarten teacher, Ontario, had been through best snow days many times, but I think she may still remember this one.

? I managed to get into my wool snow trousers. But I struggled with my jacket because it didn’t fit well. It was a hand-me-down from my brother, and it made me wonder why I had to wear the ugly clothes. At least my hat and scarf were mine, and they were quite pretty. Finally it was time to have Miss Finlayson help me with my boots.

? In her calm, motherly voice she said, “By the end of the winter, you will all be able to put on your own boots.” I didn’t realize at the time that it was more a statement of hope than of confidence.

? I handed her my boots and stuck out my feet. Like most children, I expected the adult to do all the work. After much pushing, she managed to get the first one into place and then, with a sigh, worked the second one on too.

? I announced, “They are on the wrong feet.”

? She struggled to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on again.

? “They are my brother’s boots, you know, I hate them.”

? Somehow, from long years of practice, she managed to act as though I wasn’t an annoying little girl. She struggled with me. She asked “now, where are your mittens(手套)?”

? I looked into her eyes and said, “I didn’t want to lose them, so I hid them in the toes of my boots.”

I know it is wrong to envy your children. But when I see my son, Tonio and his younger brother Sam going down a slide together, one’s arm around the other, I know I have missed something wonderful.

Not only did I never have a brother, but also I had no friendships like theirs. My sister was old enough to help take care of me, so she was more a mother than a playmate, and I was more a pest than a friend. A brother would have been wonderful, but it was not in the family planning.

Now I finally live with brothers, my sons, Tonio and Sam. I am watching them build the kind of relationship that I once dreamed about. They go to bed together. When one comes into our bed after a nightmare, my wife and I know that before morning his brother will follow.

Sam manages the world with more ease than his elder brother, whose frustrations often bring him to tears. With a sincere “Smile, Tonio,” Sam is the one who comforts him. Tonio, on the other hand, has stopped playing with boys at his age who don’t like playing with Sam. They are always backing each other up.

I don’t know what kind of relationship they will have when they grow up. Parents always want their children to have what they never could. I want them to have each other. So I imagine them going to the same college, marrying sisters and living on the same block.

That’s why I was so worried the day Tonio started kindergarten. I felt that I would lose something too. As we headed for school that morning, both boys seemed relaxed, as if neither had any idea that the day was going to be different, that starting then, Tonio would be leaving behind his brother, his best friend, his right arm.

Tonio’s first day was chaotic, with hundreds of children outside looking for their teachers. Before any of us could say goodbye, Tonio disappeared with his new classmates. He turned to wave and then was gone. It was so sudden. Sam even didn’ t see him go. Although parents had been asked to ease the craziness of the first day by statying out of the school, I lifted Sam up and took him to Tonio’s classroom, looking for a glimpse of Tonio. Sam spotted him first.

My wife and I didn’t head back home immediately, stopping instead at a coffee shop to treat Sam to hot chocolate. We even let him eat ice-cream with his fingers. Sam was still quiet, so I asked him if he missed his brother already.

He didn’t answer. Instead he asked, “Daddy, is Tonio going to be gone forever?”

“No, Sammy,” I said, feeling happy about his sweet question. “Not forever, just until three o’clock.”

I sometimes think that the greatest thing I have ever done is to help create these brothers. And I didn’t stop with them. We had another child, and for the third time in a row, it was a boy. It wasn’t long before his brothers climbed into the crib(婴儿床) to play with him. I am surrounded by brothers.

People are being lured (引诱）onto Facebook with the promise of a fun, free service without realizing they're paying for it by giving up their personal information. Facebook then attempts to make money by selling their data to advertisers that want to send targeted messages.

Most Facebook users don't realize this is happening. Even if they know what the company is up to, they still have no idea what they're paying for Face book because people don't really know what their personal data is worth.

The biggest problem, however, is that the company keeps changing the rules. Early on, you keep everything private. That was the great thing about facebook-you could create your own little private network. Last year, the company changed its privacy rules so that many things— your city, your photo, your friends' names—were set, by default (默认)to be shared with every one on the Internet.

According to Facebook's vice-president Elliot Schrage, the company is simply making changes to improve its service, and if people don't share information, they have a "less satisfying experience".

Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money. In original business model, which involved selling ads and putting them at the side of the pages totally. Who wants to look at ads when they're online connecting with their friends?

The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington. In April. Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy. He also urged the Federal Trade Commission to set guidelines for social-networking sites. "I think the senator rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them," Schrage admits.

I think that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade our privacy, it's only the beginning. That is why I'm considering deactivating (撤销）my account. Facebook is a handy site, but I'm upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don't trust. That's too high a price to pay.

1.Why do people give their personal information to Facebook according to Paragraph 1?

A.Because they can get some money from Facebook.

B.Because their information is not important.

C.Because they are promised to have a fun and free service.

D.Because they can also get other people's information.

2.What does the author say about most Facebook users?

A.They are unwilling to give up their personal information.

B.They don't know their personal data enriches Facebook.

C.They don't identify themselves when using the website.

D.They care very much about their personal information.

3.Why does Facebook make changes to its rules according to Elliot Schrage?

A. To give better service to its users. B. To obey to the Federal guidelines.

C. To improve its users' connection.  D. To expand its business.

4.Why does Senator Charles Schumer support publicly?

A.Setting guidelines for advertising on websites.

B.Banning the sharing of users' personal information.

C.Making regulations for social-networking sites.

D.Removing ads from all social-networking sites.

 

Some of my classmates often asks me why I like English so much. Well, it is really hard say. Everyone has anything that he or she likes. I just like the English for no special reason.
