6．Well，parents，surprise!Lots of us are using Twitter and Facebook to thumb rides，and not just to school．It's awkward to be refused when you call a friend and ask for a ride．But with Twitter，you just look for other people heading the same way．
    It may sound risky，so many teens stay within their own social circles to find rides，and don't branch out beyond friends when asking on Twitter just like me，but to some young people，especially those taking longer trips，stranger danger is less of a concern．
"I think the digital connection of young people is really key，because younger generations grew up sharing things on line，sharing files，photos，music，etc，so they've been very used to sharing，"said Juliet Schor，a sociology professor at Boston College．
    The sharing economy got big during the recession （经济衰退），allowing people to access more goods，services using technology and even to share costs．And that technology，for me，is what the car was for my mom，a gateway to more freedom，like what my friend Earl says，"The symbol of freedom isn't the car any more because there's technology out there connecting you to a car．"
According to the researchers at the University of Michigan，30 years ago，eight in ten American 18-year-olds had a driver's license compared to six in ten today．So it's not that surprising that on my 16th birthday I wasn't rushing to get a license but an iPhone．
"Driving，for young people，does mean they have to disconnect from their technology，and that's a negative．So if they could sit in the passage side and still be connected，that's going to be a plus．"Schor continued．
To me，another plus is that ride sharing represents something，something much bigger than trying to save money．I see it as evidence that people still depend on each other．My generation shares their cars and apartments the way neighbors used to share cups of sugar．For the system to work，some of us still need our own cars．But until I get my own version of the silver Super Beetle，you can find me on Twitter．
21．The American teens like me，prefer to possess an iPhone as a birthday gift becauseC．
A．it is most fashionable and cool              
B．they are bored with driving cars 
C．they are fond of being connected             
D．it is much cheaper than a car
22．We can learn from the text thatB．
A．Twitter is a website for teens to make friends and achieve goals
B．ride sharing can be seen as a sign that people still count on each other
C．driving cars for teens means a plus and connecting with technology
D．having a car and cost-sharing symbolize more freedom for the author's mother
23．Professor Juliet would agree thatD．
A．young people will sit waiting to be contacted by reading a passage
B．sharing economy is bound to be responsible for the recession
C．young people tend to share a car with strangers by means of Twitter 
D．being connected via technology is important for young people
24．The best title for the passage is probablyC．
A．Twitter，an Awesome Website              
B．Cars or iPhone
C．Teens Use Twitter to Thumb Rides         
D．Cool Teens on the Go．

14．A year ago，my son Michael，who had just graduated from high school，had to choose between two summer jobs．He could work either at my basketball camp（61）orat one of the horse farms in the Lexington，Kentucky，area．It was his choice．He（62）chose （choose） the horse farm，because he was tired of working my camps，and he thought he could make more money at the horse farm．But（63）afteronly a few days he realized he hated it．Farm work is hard，and he was spending most of his time（64）walking （walk）horses on a treadmill and shoveling manure．One day a couple of weeks into the summer he came to me and said he'd made a mistake and（65）would rather work at my basketball camp．

I used to love science class-all of them-biology，chemistry，geography，and physics．I think I liked those classes because I felt that it helped me understand what the world works．For example，when I was a child，the rain was a mystery．In one class，I learned it rained．I think science classes clear up mysteries．But then there was always more mysteries look into．What was my least favorite class？That was maths．After learn the basics of the subject，nothing else seemed very practically to me．I never saw how I can use it in my daily life．
18．If you are planning to learn a foreign language，here are some tips about learning language you can benefit from．
Try to set aside some time every day for your studies whe your brain is most receptive．It's better to study for 30minutes every day than for 3hours once a week．If you can spare two or three hours a day，break them up into some periods to avoid brain overload．
Go over each lesson several times，perhaps once in the morning，once in the evening and once several days later．Give your brain time to digest the material，but make sure the gaps between periods of studies are not too long or you will forget most of what you're trying to learn．Make sure you have mastered the contents of one lesson before moving on to the next．
Make sure you're comfortable with the basics of the language before learning the more advanced knowledge．It will take you some time to get used to the pronunciation and spelling of a new language，but without a solid understanding of these，you'll find it very difficult to learn more．
Setting reasonable targets is a good way to motivate yourself．You could set yourself a time limit or aim for a certain level of proficiency （精通）．
Once you have mastered the basics of the language，learn to apply them about the things that interest you．In this way you are more likely to remember the words，phrases and grammatical constructions you meet．
You will find that at times you're makin fairly rapid progress，while at other times you seem to stand still or even go backwards．This is normal when learning a language，so don't be discouraged．
Making mistakes in a foreign languag is nothing to worry about．What matters is getting your message across，not whether you use all the right words，tenses，cases，etc．If you cannot think of the exact words，try using other ones．
21．How many tips does the writer give about learning languages in this passage？B
A．Four．
B．Six．
C．Sevn．
D．Nine．
22．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the author's opinions？A
A．You should learn the language once as long as possible．
B．You'd better set a reasonable aim before you start．
C．You should ofte review what you've learnt．
D．You should practise the language while learning it．
23．The last two tips of learning a language are mainly aboutB．
A．the mistakes when you learn a foreign language
B．the things you shouldn't do when you meet with difficulties
C．the reasons why we make mistakes while trying to apply it
D．the reasons why we make little or no progress while learning it
