1.During the past Spring Festival,many children may have received red packets from their families.But Xing Pu,a 40-year-old economist,is asking the government to give red packets to every Chinese citizen.
Xing suggested the government give out 1,000yuan to each Chinese since the government income has increased rapidly in recent years.He said his suggestion would allow everyone to directly enjoy the fruits of the country's economic success,help the lower-income groups deal with rising prices and increase consumption(消费)around the country.
Recent years have seen the government carry out a series of pro-poor (扶贫) and pro-rural (惠农)policies,including increasing spending on public healthcare and calling off the agricultural tax.But the lower-income group still needs more help while being hit hard by an 11-year high in prices and recent snowstorms.
Xing said while making the draft,he has borrowed many ideas from practices in countries like the United States and Singapore.Earlier this year,the governments of the two nations offered cash handouts(救济)to their citizens as the result of a surplus in government income.As for in China,"We can even encourage the rich to donate their 1,000yuan red packet to the poor,"said Xing.
Although Xing's suggestion has gained wide support among ordinary Chinese on the Internet,many other economists criticized it as unpractical.Even Xing himself admitted he made the suggestion without any careful calculation.But they agreed with Xing's point that the growing economic pie should be shared among the people.
"To better use the increase of money,handing out money is not a solution that holds good for all time.It could be better to improve the public service or cut the price of energy use in daily life,"said Qiao Xinsheng,an economic professor.

B.Increasing the agricultural tax.

C.Controlling the rising of prices.

7.Bali Beach Resort has plenty of attractions.It is a holiday paradise.The self-styled‘Ultimate Island'certainly has plenty for everyone.
Where in the world?
Bali is located just off the eastern edge of the main Indonesian island of Java.To the east is the neighboring island of Lombok.To the south of Bali lies the expanse of the Indian Ocean,while to the north is the bali Sea.The most popular resort with hokidaymakeers is Ubud north of Sanur.
When to go?
Bali has a tropical climate year round with an average daily temperature of
3℃(8℉).The wet season is between October and April.The dry season is between May and September,and is the busiest time to visit the island as travellers take advantage of the long hot days and little rain.
Beach
Bali has a string of beaches,mainly in the south of the island.Head away from Bali's beaches and a totally different world awaits you.Ubud is an easily accessible jungle resort town with a good range of hotels,shops and restaurants.The active volcano of Mount Batur is a highlight and so are the mountain lakes.
Family fun
All of the resorts have plenty of facilities for families.In Ubud there is a monkey park,where young ones can see monkeys that are not kept in tiny cages and an elephant park where holidaymakers can ride an elephant.
Eating out
All of bali's holiday resorts offer international cooking to suit every tourist's taste,with most of the better hotels having excellent restaurants.Indonesian bintang beer is very popular.
Getting around
There are a limited number of local buses.The other public transport is to take the local"bemo"minibuses.These colourful little minibuses speed around the winding roads with fares negotiated on board,so it helps to speak a little of the local language.There are also taxis and both electric bikes and cars can be hired.

6.It has become the modern substitute of glancing at your watch-the furtive(偷偷的)look at a phone screen to check for new messages or have a quick look at Facebook.Researchers have now found why we often feel such a strong urge to glance at our handset.Using your mobile,they say,is easily affected by other people.
A University of Michigan team say people are twice as likely to pull out their phones to check their messages or emails if they're with someone who has just done the same.It also found that females were more likely to use their mobile than men because it was more‘consistent'with the daily lives of women.
The team watched students in dining halls and coffee shops around campus,observing pairs of students sitting at tables for as long as 20minutes and recorded their cellphone use at 1 0-second intervals.
"What we found most interesting was just how often people were using their mobile phones,"Dr Daniel Kruger,the study's co-author,said."Every person we observed used his/her phone at least once while one woman was on hers about half of the time.You may see others checking their incoming messages and be encouraged to check your own.''
Overall,the students used their cellphones in an average of 24percent,the researchers found.But they were significantly more likely to use their phones(39.5percent)when their companion had just done so in the previous 10-second interval than without the social clue,the researchers said,adding that  this behavior was often repeated.
Cell phones create an alternative way for one's attention and may both promote and interrupt ongoing social activities,the researchers wrote.
Kruger believes this pattern could be related to the effects of social acceptance and rejection.If one person in a pair engages in another conversation through their phone,his or her companion may feel rejected.That companion then might be forced to connect with others from outside so as not to feel left out.

56.People's strong desire to check their messages partly results fromC.
A.the modern substitute of their watches
B.the new messages of their handsets
C.the same behavior of other people
D.the update service of Facebook
57.Why do women use their phones more frequently?B
A.They want to show off their modern mobiles.
B.They are more likely to be influenced by others.
C.They try to set a good example for others.
D.They desire to meet the demands of society.
58.How might one feel when his companion is busy checking messages?D
A.Relaxed.    B.Ashamed.
C.Surprised.  D.Ignored.
59.The underlined part"this behavior"in Paragraph 5refers toA.
A.using the cellphones    B.receiving social clues
C.joining in activities D.engaging in conversations

D.Cellphone Use Is Spreading.
13.India was once part of the British Empire,but thanks to modern technology and a booming economy,it has turned the tables on its former colonial master.Indian tutors are helping to teach math to British children over high-speed Internet connections.Early results suggest the idea is improving exam results.But not everyone is happy at this"outsourcing"of tutoring.
   It's 3:30,and pupils at Raynham Primary School in London are gathering for their after-school maths lessons.
   Five time zones-thousands of kilometers away-their math tutors are also arriving for class.High-speed Internet has made it possible for Indian tutors to teach British pupils in real time.Each pupil gets a dedicated one-to-one online tutor.The students work with activities on their computer screen and wear a headset and microphone to talk to their tutor.
   The class teacher,Altus Basson,says he has seen an improvement in results."There are some children who've really rocketed in their results.Children who struggleto focus in class focus a lot better on the laptops.The real advantage is that each child gets a focused activity and a single tutor,"he said.
   Such individualized teaching is the core idea of Brightspark Education,the company that provides the online tutoring,says founder Tom Hooper."Children today feel very confident online; they feel very engaged; they feel very in control.And that's half the battle with education.Give them control,make them feel confident and enjoy their learning and you'll see them start to improve and embrace it,"he said.
    Raynham Primary School is among the first in Europe to try online tutoring.At between 20and25 an hour,it's about half the cost of face-to-face coaching.But some people say an Internet connection is not enough of a connection for teaching and learning.Kevin Courtney is deputy General Secretary of Britain's National Union of Teachers."We think,there's a really important emotional connection between a teacher and a child whether it's a whole class or whether it's one-to-one.You need that immediacy of feedback and we're not convinced that that can happen across an Internet connection.In one of the wealthiest.countries in the world,we think that we can afford to have teachers with genuine emotional connection there with the
children,"he said.
    Brightspark Education says the online tutoring is used only as an addition to supplement regular teaching.The company says its service does not represent a threat to teachers'jobs in Britain.
    Parents say they're very satisfied with the results they've seen.And what about the children?Children:"I love it!"I love it!"I hate maths!"So math--or,as the British call it,maths-is still not everyone's favorite subject even with the latest technology to teach it.
49.What do we know about the online tutoring?B
   A.Indian tutors are helping to teach math in Britain.
   B.Tutors and students are in different places.
   C.An online tutor helps several students at the same time.
   D.Tutors and students communicate by telephone.
50.What can we learn about Brightspark Education?D
   A.It shows a threat to teachers'jobs in Britain.
   B.It can take place of the regular teaching.
   C.It only pays attention to math teaching.
   D.It emphasizes the individualized teaching.
51.According to Kevin Courtne,C.
   A.online tutoring will represent a threat to teachers'jobs in Britain
   B.online tutoring has a great influence on British.
   C.the emotional connection between a teacher and a child is important
   D.immediacy of feedback can happen across an Internet connection
52.What's the best title for this passage?D
 A.A New Teaching Pattern                     
 B.Indian Teachers and British Students
 C.To Learn Maths with the Latest Technology    
 D.Indian Tutors Teach British Kids Online.
