My 16-year-old son, Anton, had gone to the local swimming hole. Most of the kids swim there, and there are plenty of rocks for them to use as safe harbors, so I had no fears for his safety.

Still, the firefighter's first words "You need to come up here to the Stillwater River" made me catch my breath, and his follow-up words gave me relief: “Your son is OK.”

When I got to the river, I immediately saw the firetruck, ambulance and Anton, wrapped with a towel about his shoulders, sitting quietly on a low platform of the fire engine.

I hurried over to him. "You OK?"I asked.

“Yeah,” was all he said. But my eyes begged for an explanation, I didn't get it from my son, however, who tends to play his cards close to his vest

The story was this: A woman was being swept under water. Hearing the cries, Anton and his friend Tyler, without hesitation, swam out to her, and brought her safely to shore.

In an age in which the word "hero" is broadcast with abandon and seemingly applied to anyone who makes it through the day, I realized the real thing in my son. The teens are stubborn and self-centered, but that didn't mean they have no desire to do good.

Still shocked by my son's daring, I drove him home. Along the way, I tried to dig out some more information from him but he had precious little to say. The only words he said were, “What's for supper?”

I spent some time alone that evening, thinking about the tragedy that might have been. The next morning, when Anton got up, I half expected him to tell me the story. But all he did was toast some bread, pull himself together, and head for the door to start a new day. Watching from the window, I was reminded that still water often runs deep.

1.Why did the mother allow her son to swim there?

A.He was an excellent swimmer.

B.The water of the river is shallow.

C.The rocks can be of help if there's danger.

D.He was old enough to swim.

2.The underlined part "who tends to play his cards close to his vest" probably means ________.

A.Anton is unwilling to tell others what he thinks

B.Anton is a boy fond of swimming with other kids

C.Anton always has a desire to help others

D.Anton seldom changes his mind

3.In the mother's eyes, what her son did was ________.

A.dangerous but interesting

B.unexpected and courageous

C.meaningful but difficult

D.awful and absurd

4.What might be the best title for the passage?

A.A Proud MotherB.Anton, A Silent Boy

C.A Good DeedD.My Son, My Hero

During a career planning class, Brenda Fabian asked how many students use Facebook, a popular online networking community for college students. Almost everyone in the room raised a hand.“Then I asked how many knew that employers are reviewing Facebook for hiring purposes,”says Fabian,director for Center for Career Services at Susquehanna University.“No hands were raised, and their faces revealed the students' surprise.”

Although some parents do keep track of their teen's online activities,most teenagers don't realize that websites may be monitored by schools,prospective(未来的) employers or anyone else who might be interested in the teenager's lifestyle not just today but anytime in the future.

Most of us don't realize that the information that gets posted on the Internet may be deleted,but it doesn't disappear permanently.“The stuff is there forever,”says Jamie Riehle,director of Web Publishing at Lycos.“It is backed up (备份) on servers and doesn't go away.”

As company recruiters,college admission officers,law enforcement personnel and parents become more Web savvy (有见识的),it becomes even more vital for teenagers to be cautious when posting any information on their websites. Even though sites that are private can be seen only by a preselected list of friends,there are companies that,for a fee,can dig deeper into cyberspace(网络空间) and find anything. Even government officials who thought that deleting email would exonerate(宣布……无罪) them from wrongdoing are discovering that,on the Web,there is no such thing as private or gone forever.

Steven Rothenberg,president and founder of College-Recruiter.com,suggests that teenagers think of their Web posts as tattoos(纹身). “Inherently(内在地),there is nothing wrong with them if they are private,”he says.“But if they are visible or offensive, it can affect the way others see you.”

1.The information posted on the Internet ________.

A.can be deleted easily

B.can't be deleted completely

C.usually falls in the hands of employers

D.remains for a long time

2.What do we know about sites that are private?

A.They are owned by some companies.

B.They charge people for viewing them.

C.They can keep the information a secret.

D.They are not so private as supposed.

3.The second paragraph implies that ________.

A.one who posts negative things may have their employment affected

B.a teenager should not write about his lifestyle online

C.it's hard for parents to keep track of their teen's online activities

D.the Internet is becoming more insecure

4.Steven Rothenberg believes that ________.

A.teenagers should not be allowed to post anything online

B.teenagers should keep their information private online

C.teenagers should be cautious about their posts online

D.teenagers should be monitored online

Speaking in public meetings is necessary for many students and employees. As well, it is a difficult task for them, especially for non-native speakers. A great many researchers have made efforts to help foreign language learners to improve the approaches.

Charles LeBeau is a public speaking professor and consultant. Currently, he teaches at two universities and at the Toshiba International Training Center. He has also written books on the subject. English language learners around the world use his book Speaking of Speech.

In Speaking of Speech Mr. LeBeau says a simple approach helps the learners. So, the professor divides public speaking into three parts: the physical message, the visual message, and the story message. He says, “The central thing to remember about public speaking or presentation is that it’s a very complex communicative activity. For non-native speakers it’s a really scary activity. So to make that more simplistic and easy for them, the approach that I’ve taken is to simplify and break it down. First if we look at presentation, what’s going on? There are basically three messages that the presenter is giving the audience at the same time. There’s what I call the physical message, namely body language. It’s the way that my body, as a speaker, is talking to the audience. Then there’s also the visual message. The visual messages are the slides that we now make and show the audience. The third message is the story message, which is the content of our presentation. The story message is the verbal message, what we say to the audience. The story message also includes how we organize our ideas to present to the audience.”

He says the simple approach to breaking down the parts of public speaking has proved itself. He says learners improve quickly and do a good presentation after a few days of study.

1.What does Mr. LeBeau think of public speaking?

A. Public speaking is a simple task.

B. Public speaking is divided into three parts.

C. Public speaking is a tough communicative activity.

D. Public speaking is necessary for students and employees.

2.From Mr. LeBeau’s point, which of the following is the key way to help speakers?

A. Studying a few days.

B. Simplifying the speech.

C. Using slides and physical language.

D. Reading his book Speaking of Speech.

3.Which of the following provides the visual message?

A. Gestures; videos; ideas.

B. Slides; feelings; videos.

C. Photos; ideas; gestures.

D. Videos; slides; photos.
