12.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 gotbig 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,30years 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 ridesharing 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.

13.The American teens like the author,prefer to possess an iPhone as a birthday gift becauseD.
A.it is most fashionable and cool      
B.they are bored with driving cars
C.it is much heaper than a car    
D.they are fond of being connected
14.We can learn from the text thatB.
A.Twitter is a website for teens to make friends and achieve goals
B.ridesharing 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
15.The best title for the passage is probablyD.
A.Twitter,an Awesome Website         
B.Cars or iPhone
C.Cool Teens on the Go      
D.Teens Use Twitter to Thumb Rides.

17.[1]Many foreign students report feeling lonely or unwelcome in Australia.Those feelings are among the reasons why Australia is taking a close look at its international education industry.But wherever international students go,making friends may not always be easy.Elisabeth Gareis of Baruch College in New York surveyed four hundred fifty-four international students.They were attending four-year colleges and graduate schools in the American South and Northeast.
[2]Students from English-speaking countries and from northern and central Europe were more likely to be happy with their friendships.But thirty-eight percent of the international students said they had no close friends in the United States.And half of the students from East Asia said they were unhappy with the number of American friends they had.Professor Gareis says thirty percent said they wished their friendships could be deeper and more meaningful.
[3]Professor Gareis says:"Students from East Asia have cultures that are different on many levels from the culture in the United States.But then there's also language problems,and maybe some social skills,such as small talk,that are possibly not as important in their native countries,where it's not as important to develop friendships with small talk.Many East Asian students blamed themselves for their limited friendships with Americans,for not speaking the language well enough,not knowing the culture well enough."
[4]VOA's Student Union blogger Jessica Stahl did her own survey to find out how American students and foreign students relate to each other.More than one hundred students,about half of them American,answered her online questions.Half of the international students and sixty percent of the Americans said they related as well or better to the other group than to their own group.
[5]Professor Gareis says students who make friends from their host country return home happier with their experience.
[6]Professor Gareis says:"International students who make friends with host nationals are,overall,morepleased with their stay in the host country.They have better language skills,they have better academic performance and they have better attitudes toward the host country."

1.Each year there is an increasing number of cars on roads and streets as millions of new cars and trucks are produced.One out of every six Americans work at putting together the parts of cars,driving trucks,building roads or filling cars and trucks with gas.Americans won't live without cars!
Most Americans would find it hard to think what life would look like without cars.However,some have realized the serious problems of the air pollution that is caused by the car.The polluted air becomes poisonous and dangerous to health.
One way to get rid of the polluted air is to build a car that does not pollute.That's what several of the large car factories have been trying to do.But to build a clean car is easier said than done.Progress in this field has been slow.
Another way is to take the place of the car engine by something else.Inventors are now working on steam cars as well as electric cars.Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model that pleases man.
To prevent the world from being polluted by cars,we'll have to make some changes in the way many of us live.Americans,for example,have to cut down on the number of their total cars.They are encouraged to travel and go to work by bicycle.Bicycling is thought to help keep the air clean.
But this change does not come easily----a large number of workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory closes down.Thus the problem of air pollution would become less important than that of unemployment.
Although cars have led us to a better life,they have also brought us new problems.
59.Large car factories are trying to build a clean car,C.
A.which is clean itself           
B.which is used to clean streets
C.which does not pollute the air  
D.which is easier to make
60.If the number of cars is cut down,the most serious problem to American workers isA.
A.to have no work to do      
B.to keep the air clean
C.to get a better life      
D.to go to work by bike
61.What is the conclusion of the writer?D
A.Bicycling is the only way out.
B.The number of cars must be cut down.
C.Cars bring us nothing but serious problems.
D.Cars bring us not only a better life but serious problems.
20.Exceptional children are different in some significant ways from others of the same age.For these children to develop to their full adult potential,their education must be adapted to those differences.
Although we focus on the needs of exceptional children,we find ourselves describing their environment as well.While the leading actor on the stage captures our attention,we are aware of the importance of the supporting players and the scenery of the play itself.Both the family and the society in which exceptional children live are often the key to their growth and development.And it is in the public schools that we find the full expression of society's understanding-the knowledge,hopes,and fears that are passed on to the next generation.
Education in any society is a mirror of that society.In that mirror we can see the strengths,the weaknesses,the hopes,the prejudices,and the central values of the culture itself.The great interest in exceptional children shown in public education over the past three decades indicates the strong feeling in our society that all citizens,whatever their special conditions,deserve the opportunity to fully develop their capabilities.
"All men are created equal,"we heard it many times,but it still has important meaning for education in a democratic society.Although the phrase was used by this country's founders to indicate equality before the law,it has also been interpreted to mean equality of opportunity.That concept implies educational opportunity for all children-the right of each child to receive help in learning to the limits of his or her capability,whether that capability is small or great.Recent court decisions have confirmed the right of all children-disabled or not-to an appropriate education,and have ordered that public schools take the necessary steps to provide that education.In response,schools are modifying their programs,adapting instruction to children who are exceptional,to those who cannot profit substantially from regular programs.
(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS.)
 
 
81.This passage is concerned primarily with the necessity of adaptingeducation to exceptional children
