The desire to pick up a  3  with an attractive cover is irresistible, although this method of4  ought not to be followed, as you might end up with a rather 5 book.

The Department of  Fisheries and Oceans has developed guidelines for whale watching in Johnstone Strait,where killer whales are found on a daily basis each summer.It is strongly recommended that vessel(船只)operators follow these guidelines for all kinds of whales.

Approach whales from the side,not from the front or the back.

Approach no closer than 100 metres,then stop the boat but keep the engine on.

Keep noise levels down-no horns,whistles or racing of engines.

Start your boat only after the whales are more than 100 metres from your vessel.

Leave the area slowly,gradually moving faster when you are more than 300 metres from the whales.

Approach and leave slowly,avoiding sudden changes in speed or direction.

Avoid disturbing groups of resting whales.

Keep at low speeds and remain in the same direction if travelling side by side with whales.

When whales are travelling close to shore,avoid crowding them near the shore or coming between the whales and the shore.

Limit the time spent with any group of whales to less than 30 minutes at a time when within 100 to 200 metres of whales.

If there is more than one vessel at the same observation spot,be sure to avoid any boat position that would result in surrounding the whales.

Work together by communicating with other vessels,and make sure that all operators are aware of the whale watching guidelines.

This report presents details of home computers used by a random sample (随机抽样) of young people. It is a common idea that teenagers today know about computers and know how to use them in all aspects of their lives. We decided to try to find out whether that was true.
 【小题1】  All the teenagers we chose said they had computers at home. We asked them how much time they spent on their computers in an average week, but we were most interested in what they used their computers for. The average time spent on a computer in a week was about 12 hours, with the highest user averaging 32 hours and the lowest user only 5 hours.   【小题2】   【小题3】  Fourteen teenagers told us they did some word processing at home, but not very much. Only 2 of them said that computers helped them with their studies, while 8 of them told us they kept addresses and telephone numbers on their computers or used them as diaries. Only 3 of them said they were learning to program computers, and nobody looked up information (other than their address lists).   【小题4】 
The results indicate quite clearly that computers are seen by most young people as little more than game machines.   【小题5】  It seems to us that, although computers are common in the homes of teenagers, they have not yet become useful tools in everyday life.

A.There no big difference between boys and girls.
B.All of the teenagers questioned said they regularly used to play games.
C.We questioned thirty young people between 14 and 18.
D.But some adults admitted that they had no computers at home.
E. None of them used their computers for any other purpose.
F. I don’t know how important a computer is for teenagers.
G. The other important users are for word processing and organizing address lists.

Scientists say they now have proof to support the old-fashioned advice that it's best to sleep on a problem. They say sleep strengthens the memory and helps the brain organize the masses of information we receive each day.

Lead researcher Bob Stickgold at the Harvard Medical School said, "Sleep helps us draw rules from our experiences. It's like knowing the difference between dogs and cats even if it's hard to explain."

The US research team studied how well students remembered connections between words and symbols (象征) , reports New Scientist. They compared how the students performed if they had had a sleep between seeing the words and having the test, and if they had not slept. They found that people were better able to remember lists of related words after a night's sleep than after the same time spent awake during the day. They also found it easier to remember themes (主题) that the words had in common. But they forgot around one in four more themes if they had been awake. Prof. John Groeger, of Surrey University's Sleep Research Centre, said, "People have been trying for years to find out what the purpose of sleep is, as we know that only certain parts of it have a restorative (有助恢复的) value. " "We form and store huge numbers of experiences in the head every day, and sleep seems to be the way the brain deals with it all."

1.The phrase" to sleep on a problem" in Paragraph 1 most likely means to______.

A. pay full attention to a problem                         B. wait until later for a decision

C. sleep to forget a problem                                  D. have difficulty sleeping

2.In the study by the US research team, students were asked to______.

A. put together words of similar meanings

B. remember words and their meanings

C. show their knowledge of words

D. make up lists of related words

3.Which of the following may be easier to remember?

A. Themes learned right before the test

B. Rules from personal experience

C. Words learnt before a good sleep

D. Ideas stored together in the brain

4.What may be the importance of the research?

A. It shows sleep may help us manage information

B. It helps find out the common themes of word

C. It tells us that more sleep can improve health

D. It proves the value of old-fashioned advice
