3.Kelly Reeves was getting ready for a trip when her phone slipped into a sink full of water.Panic moment!She quickly picked up the wet phone and tried to turn it on,but nothing worked.Her first reaction?She got dressed,drove to the nearest store,and bought a new model at full price.A new study finds that fear of losing your phone is a common illness.About 66percent of those surveyed suffer from (nomophobia) or"no mobile phone phobia".Interestingly,more women worry about losing their phone than men.Fortunately,there's a solution.The first step is to figure out if you have nomophobia.Checking your phone too often is one thing,but the true sign of a problem is that you can't conduct business or go about your routine when the fear becomes so severe.Do you go to unusual lengths to make sure you have your phone?That's another sign of a problem.If you find you check your phone plenty of times per hour,or a total of an hour per day,there may be a problem.Some of the treatments are similar to those for treating anxiety attacks:leaving the phone behind and not checking e-mail or text messages,and then learning to tolerate the after anxiety.Even if this leads to a high level of worry and stress,the solution is to push through the fear and learn to deal with not having your phone.Of course,there are also technological alternatives.Luis Levy,a co-founder at Novy PR,says he uses an application called Cerberus that can automatically track the location of his phone.To find it,he can just go to a Web site and see the phone's location.He also insures his phone through a service called Asurion.The company's description of its product reads like a prescription for anxiety:"60million phones are lost,stolen or damaged each year.You'll have complete peace of mind knowing that your phone is protected and you can quickly reconnect with family,friends and work,as soon as the very next day!"

17.James Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves.His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9.There,a school teacher asked the youth his name."J.C.,"he replied.
She thought he had said"Jesse",and he had a new name.
Owens ran his first race at age 13-After high school,he went to Ohio State University.He had to work part time so as to pay for his education.As a second year student,in the Big Ten games in 1935,he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.
A week before the Big Ten meet,Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs.His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week,and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet.He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try,event by event.He did try,and the results are in the record book.

Having returned from Berlin,he received no telephone calls from the president of his own country,either.In fact,he was not honored by the United States until 1976,four years before his death.
Owens'Olympic victories made little difference to him.He earned his living by looking after a school playground,and accepted money to race against cars,trucks,motorcycles and dogs.
"Sure,it bothered me,"he said later."But at least it was an honest living.I had to eat."
In time,however,his gold medals changed his life."They have kept me alive over the years,"he once said."Time has stood still for me.That golden moment dies hard."

8.Disease,poverty,hate,love-Charles Dickens'stories opened his readers eyes to the most important themes of his age.Two hundred years on,his stories still speak volumes(有意义)across the world,proving that Dickens'legacy(遗产)was far greater than just"great literature"
     February 7 marks the 20th anniversary of the writer's birthday.To mark this date,BBC writer Alex Hudson listed six things Dickens gave the modem world.Let's take a look at two of them.
A white Christmas
     Dickens is described  as"the man who invented Christmas"-not the religious festival,but the cultural aspects that we associate with the festive season today.In the early 19th century,Christmas was barely worth mentioning,according to critic and writer Leigh Hunt.The committee which ran the Conservative Party even held ordinary business meetings on Christmas Day-unthinkable in the West nowadays,when everyone but the most necessary workers takes at least three days off.
  Many people believe that Dickens'popular descriptions of the festive period became a blueprint for generations to come.In his classic novel,A Christmas Carol,he not only put forward the idea of snow at Christmas,but also painted a picture of glowing warmth-home enjoyments,affections and hopes.
    In his biography of Dickens,Peter Ackroyd wrote:"Dickens Can be said to have almost single-handedly created the modem idea of Christmas."
"Dickensian"poverty
      Dickens was one of the first to take an honest look at the underclass and the poor of Victorian(the period during British Queen Victoria's reign from l837 to 1901)London.
He helped popularize the term"red tape"to describe situations where people in power use needless amounts of bureaucracy(官僚作风)in a way that particularly hurts the weaker and  poorer members of society.
"Dickensian"has now become a powerful word for describing an unacceptable level of poverty.In 2009,when the president of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers in the UK wanted to talk about deprivation(剥夺权利)in some areas of Britain,she did not use words like"terrible"or"horrific",but rather described it as"life mirroring the times of Dickens".

60.What is the main idea of the article?B
  A.An introduction to Charles Dickens'classic novels.
  B.Charles dickens'impact on the world.
  C.Charles Dickens'amazing characters.
  D.Why Charles Dickens is popular across the world.
61.Why is Dickens called"the man who invented Christmas"?B
  A.Because he created the religious festival.
  B.Because many of his novels have something to do with Christmas.
  C.Because one of his novels helped to shape Christmas celebrations. 
  D.Because he was the first man to have proposed celebrating Christmas.
62.According to the article,the phrase"red tape"refers toD.
  A.rules or procedures that are required to accomplish a task
  B.a situation in which poor members of society are hurt.
  C.conflict between people in power and weaker people
  D.pointlessly time-consuming official procedures.
12.Recently,university students around the world were asked to volunteer in a global experiment called Unplugged.It was designed to see how young people would react if they were asked to observe a total media ban by unplugging all forms of media devices for 24 hours.
Unplugged is being run by Dr Roman Gerodimos,a lecturer in Communication and Journalism at Bournemouth University.During the experiment,Dr Gerodimos said there were already  signs of how much the exercise affected volunteers.He said:"They're reporting withdrawal symptoms,overeating,feeling nervous,isolated and disconnected."
During their 24-hour test,three of the experiment's participants were followed around by a BBC reporter plus cameraman.They were asked to write down 100 lines about their day offline,but of course,they all waited until the next day when they had access to their laptops.
Elliot Day wrote:"Today,my whole morning routine was thrown up into the air.Despite being  aware of the social importance of the media,I was surprised by how empty my life felt without the radio or newspapers."
From Caroline Scott,we read:"I didn't expect it,but being deprived of the media for 24 hours resulted in my day-to-day activities becoming so much harder to carry out than usual…I didn't break out in a cold sweat like our lecturer expected us all to,but It's not something l would like to do again!"
And Charlotte Gay wrote:"I have to say the most difficult item for me to be without has been  my  mobile;not  only is it a social device,it's  my main access point of communication."
Earlier in the year,a UK government study found that in the UK we spend about half our waking hours using the media,often plugged into several things at once.So,with technology continuing to develop at an alarming rate,how much time will you set aside for sleep in the future?
71.What can we learn about the volunteers?B
 A.Volunteers didn't write down about their day offline.
 B.Volunteers weren't allowed to use any media for 24 hours.
 C.Volunteers  were followed around by Dr Roman Gerodimos.
 D.Only volunteers in the UK took part in Unplugged experiment.
72.Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the participants'feelings?

 A.The media ban affected his temperature.
