18.Leading experts on the Internet,technology and policy have shared the same opinion on what we can expect in the next decade when it comes to connectivity and its effects on society.
The Pew Research report asked thousands of experts and members of the public for opinions on"the most significant overall influences of our uses of the Internet on humanity"---and some had a rosier outlook than others.
"The smartest person in the world nowadays could well be stuck behind a plough in India or China,"said Hal,Google's chief economist."Enabling that person----and the millions like him or her---will have a strong effect on the development of the human race."
Early Internet pioneer David Hughes agreed:"When every person on this planet can communicate two-way with every other person on this planet,the power of nation-states to control every human inside its geographic boundaries may start to disappear."
Wearables (electronic equipment that people can wear ) could monitor more than just steps,predicted UC Berkeley's Aron Roberts---or do more than just monitor:"We may literally be able to adjust both medications and lifestyle changes on a day-by-day basis or even an hour-by-hour basis."
Microsoft Reaearch's Jonathan Grudin is more pessimistic(悲观):"By making so much activity visible,it exposes the gap between the way people behave and the way we think they ought to behave.Adjusting to this will be an unending,difficult task.
And the difference between the rich and the poor will have a new aspect:"Only the well-off (and well-educated) will know how to preserve their privacy,"warned one expert.
"Will the Internet make it possible for our entire civilization to fall down together,in one big awful step?Possibly,"admitted Harvard"s Doctor Searls.:"But the Internet has already made it possible for us to use one of our unique advantages----the ability to share knowledge---to a degree higher than ever before."

36.As for the influences of our uses of the Internet on humanity,some of the experts areB.
A.Realistic
B.Optimistic
C.Doubtful
D.Careful
37.According to Hal,in the future,those who will influence the development of human race areB.
A.Google's economists
B.Chinese and Indian
C.The educated persons
D.World leading experts
38.People will be able to change their lifestyles at any time according toD.
A.The development of communication skills
B.The suggestions made by computer experts
C.The prediction made by the home computers
D.The data recorded by the computers worn on body
39.The underlined word"this"in paragraph 6refers toC.
A.The visible activities mentioned above
B.The way we thought they ought to behave
C.The way people really behave in life
D.The rule people ought to obey in life
40.Which of the following can best express the meaning of the last paragraphA?
A.Advantages and disadvantages of the Internet.
B.Development of the Internet and human beings.
C.Knowledge and civilization of human beings.
D.Possibilities of the Internet for the future users.

9.How to Teach Kids to Respect Others
When teaching kids to respect others,you must know how to respect others yourself.(36)BYou must know how to,and consistently use the skill.In this way your teaching will become more effective.
So,the very first and most important tool in teaching kids to respect others is to respect others yourself.Always show respect to people,and always show respect to the kids you're trying to teach.(37)D.There is no need to conduct your life by keeping company with people who are disrespectful to you or your family.There are plenty of people in the world.Sometimes you may become emotional,angry or upset over the words or actions of others.It can be difficult to avoid,but if you want to teach kids to respect others,you must respect others as well.
Children learn by example.Children will automatically do what they are taught,but teaching doesn't come through words alone.(38)G.
Another important factor to keep in mind is to listen carefully to what they say.You've had children,so now it's your job to raise them the best you can.(39)ADo not yell.Do not roll your eyes and never hit them.If you engage in any of this type of behavior with your children,they will learn that this behavior is acceptable.
Always make children feel like they are the most important thing in the world to you.(40)E
Nothing is more important than giving your children undivided(全部的) attention when they need it.So make them feel like they are No.1 and they will learn so much just to respect others.They will learn compassion,listening skills,and how to choose friends who are good for them.

A.When your children speak,listen carefully.
B.This is the key to teaching anyone anything.
C.Giving them a reward can help them behave well.
D.If people are disrespectful to you,simply walk away.
E.When children feel like you care,they will learn how to care as well.

6.Years ago I had the opportunity to meet a girl who strengthened my understanding of the power of belief.She was (21)Dthe most powerful individual I had ever met.I met Chris for the first time while taking the Dale Carnegie(22)Bin California.

When asked by the instructor what her goal(30)Bthe twelveweek course was,Chris struggled to respond and became frustrated and(31)Cin the process.For most of her(32)D,nobody would listen to her.The only way she knew to get someone to(33)Cwas through temper outbursts(发脾气).With Bonnie as her interpreter,Chris conveyed that her(34)Bwas to be able to stand by herself in front of fortyfive people and tell us about herself.
On the twelfth week,Chris stood in front of the room and(35)Dwith us,in her own words,what her life had been like.It was one of the most beautiful and enlightening experiences I had ever(36)CThough as a girl who had in many ways been(37)B,she believed that she could(38)Bmore in her life and she did.And she also had the love and support of fortyfive friends,who,just weeks before,had been(39)Astrangers.
What we all witnessed through Chris'courage is that life is(40)Dmoment by moment,based on our beliefs,which are relevant to both our personal and professional direction and have the power to make our wildest dreams come true.

13.Have you ever noticed what happens to an idea once you express it?Just talking about it or writing it down causes you to make it clear in your own mind.How can you use this to increase your brain power?Start writing.
   By putting thoughts into words,you are telling yourself the logic (逻辑) behind what you think,feel,or only partly understand.Often,explaining a thought is the process of understanding.In other words,you increase your brain power by exercising your"explain power."
   Try this experiment.Explain how you'll increase your brain power,even if you have no idea right now.Just start with anything,and create an explanation.For example,start with"I'll learn chess,"or"I'll read an article on the mind every week."Explain how that will help.You'll be surprised how often this becomes a workable plan,and if you actually do this,you'll have a better understanding of your brain from now.
    Another benefit of writing is that it helps you remember.Many,if not most,highly productive people are always taking notes.You can try keeping it all in your head,but if you keep a journal of your ideas the next time you're working on a big project,you'll probably have more success.
   Want to understand a topic?Write a book about it.That's an extreme example,but if you are learning something new,write a letter to a friend about it,and you will understand it better.Want to invent something?Write an explanation of the problem,why you want to solve it,and why it is worth solving,and you're half-way there.
   Writers don't always write because they clearly understand something beforehand.Often,they write about something because they want to understand it.You can do the same.Writing will help bring you to an understanding.Give it a try.

10.I have never heard about a"Fashion Week"outside of New York,London or Milan.But then one just happens to turn up in Bishkek in Kyrgyzstan.Actually,I'm ignorant of all those countries in Central Asia,whose names are always ending in"stan."For decades,even centuries,Central Asia has been out of focus,a blank on the map of empires.Just as the introduction from Turusbek Mamashov,from the Tourism agency of the president of the Kyrgyz Republic,says,"Throughout this Fashion Week project,we need to create a revolution in the minds of our people,preparing the country for the international tourism market.It is an opportunity as well as an investment."What he says is right.If you just give it a glimpse (一瞥),you'll find out that the flavor (风情) of the Silk Road is still there.
As part of the route for Silk Road traders and migrating tribes through its epic(史诗的) history,Kyrgyzstan,like other Central Asian countries,is a vast place of desert,grassland and mountain ranges.It is not widely known that Kyrgyzstan is the Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai's birthplace.
Bishkek,the place holding Fashion Week,is the capital and industrial center of independent Kyrgyzstan.It is a relaxed,handsome place with wide streets and large amounts of greenery.Especially in the autumn of November,the yellow leaves falling everywhere make the whole city a legend in fall.The mountains are just at its rear,in that case a unique scene of picturesque beauty is composed by snow-white peaks,lakes and the urban Landscape.
Today,Ala-Too Square is the center of the poetic places worth seeing in Bishkek.The"White House,"the seat of the Kyrgyzstan Government,is just at the west of the square.Behind this is Panfilov Park,a great place to head for a national holiday.The State Museum of Fine Arts is opposite,which is also called the Gapar Aitiev Museum of Applied Arts,featuring Kyrgyz jewelry,rugs and works by local artists.
One of the joys besides the scenery is the openness of the people.Bishkek is a city without a big population but mainly good-natured people from many races,47percent are Russian and about a third are Kyrgyz.Most travelers vote Kyrgyzstan as the most appealing,accessible and welcoming of the former Soviet Central Asian republics.It is written by a tourist that Kyrgyzstan is the country Russians most desperately want to keep:hills always covered with grass and wild flowers.Kyrgyz men always ride a horse wearing a photogenic hat.

72.According to the passage,Kyrgyzstan used to beB.
A.an international fashion centre
B.an important part of Silk Road
C.the focus of the world
D.a vast desert land in Central Asia
73.The Fashion Week in Bishkek is supposed toC.
A.start a revolution in Kyrgyzstan
B.attract foreign investment to Kyrgyzstan
C.promote tourism in Kyrgyzstan
D.celebrate the independence of Kyrgyzstan
74.Which of the statements is NOT ture according to the passage?A
A.Bishkek is a crowded modern city surrounded by mountain ranges.
B.Panfilov Park is a popular destination for local people during holidays.
C.The majority of the population in Bishkek are Russian and Kyrgyz.
D.The famous poet Li Bai is thought to have been born in Kyrgyzstan.
75.What is the most important message the author wants to convey in the passage?D
A.Reflections and thoughts on the glorious history of the Silk Road.
B.Feelings about the ongoing Fashion Week project in Bishkek.
C.The geographic features and imposing history of Kyrgyzstan.
