The new study shows that we spend more time using the mobile Internet reading newspaper or magazines. According to the European Interactive Advertising Association(ELAA), the average European spends 4.8 hours reading newspaper and magazines but 1.6 hours more using the mobile Internet a week.

The EIAA questioned 15,000 people in 15 European countries, looking at how people are using the Internet and its influence on their everyday lives. It has found that the mobile Internet is increasingly finding its way into the public awareness. Over 71 million Europeans now have Internet access on their mobiles phones. In the UK, 10 million people mow access the Internet through their mobile phones and spend 6.3 hours doing so in a week.

Unsurprisingly younger generations in the UK are leading the way, with nearly half of the country’s 16-to-24-year-olds and a quarter of 25-to-34-year-olds using the mobile Internet, spending 6.5 and 6.2 hours online each week.

Entertainment plays a major role in our mobile Internet lives, with one in five British people using their phones for online games, a third listening to the online radio and 39 percent watching films . TV or other videos at least once a week. One third of those using an Internet phone said they received videos, imager or other multimedia on their mobile, and 61 percent said they passed on contents they received.

From a communication point of view, 80 percent of those questioned agreed that the Internet made it easier for them to stay in touch with friends and family.

Alison Fennah, director of the EIAA, said the mobile Internet use had come to the point that marketers should be looking to develop strategies that connect with consumers more effectively. “Better devices as well as improved consumer motivation that start coming together in 2011can make a great difference to extending the online experience.” Fennah said.

D. how the Internet influences our daily life

Everybody is happy as his pay rises.Yet pleasure at your own can disappear if you learn that a fellow worker has been given a bigger one.Indeed, if he is known as being lazy, you might even be quite cross.Such behavior is regarded as "all too human", with the underlying belief that other animals would not be able to have this finely developed sense of sadness.But a study by Sarah Brosnan of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, which has just been published in Nature, suggests that it is all too monkey, as well.

The researchers studied the behaviors of some kind of female brown monkeys.They look smart. They are good-natured, co-operative creatures, and they share their food happily.Above all, like female human beings, they tend to pay much closer attention to the value of "goods and services" than males.

Such characteristics make them perfect subjects for Doctor Brosnan's study.The researchers spent two years teaching their monkeys to exchange tokens (奖券) for food.Normally, the monkeys were happy enough to exchange pieces of rock for pieces of cucumber.However, when two monkeys were placed in separate and connected rooms, so that each other could observe what the other is getting in return for its rock, they became quite different.

In the world of monkeys, grapes are excellent goods (and much preferable to cucumbers).So when one monkey was handed a grape in exchange for her token, the second was not willing to hand hers over for a mere piece of cucumber.And if one received a grape without having to provide her token in exchange at all, the other either shook her own token at the researcher, or refused to accept the cucumber.Indeed, the mere presence of a grape in the other room (without an actual monkey to eat it) was enough to bring about dissatisfaction in a female monkey.

The researches suggest that these monkeys, like humans, are guided by social senses.In the wild, they are co-operative and group-living.Such co-operation is likely to be firm only when each animal feels it is not being cheated.Feelings of anger when unfairly treated, it seems, are not the nature of human beings alone.Refusing a smaller reward completely makes these feelings clear to other animals of the group.However, whether such a sense of fairness developed independently in monkeys and humans, or whether it comes from the common roots that they had 35 million years ago, is, as yet, an unanswered question.

A. Only monkeys and humans can have the sense of fairness in the world.

B. Women will show more dissatisfaction than men when unfairly treated.

C. In the wild, monkeys are never unhappy to share their food with each other.

2.Female monkeys of this kind are chosen for the research most probably because they are __ _.

A. more likely to weigh what they get

B. attentive to researchers’ instructions

C. nice in both appearance and behaviors

D. more ready to help others than their male companions

3.Which of the following conclusions is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Human beings' feelings of anger are developed from the monkeys.

B. In the research, male monkeys are less likely to exchange food with others.

C. Co-operation between monkeys stays firm before the realization of being cheated.

D. Only monkeys and humans have the sense of fairness dating back to 35 million years ago.

4.What can we infer about the monkeys in Sarah's study?

A. The monkeys can be trained to develop social senses.

B. They usually show their feelings openly as humans do.

C. The monkeys may show their satisfaction with equal treatment.

D. Co-operation among the monkeys remains effective in the wild.

4.When an elementary school teacher in Philadelphia nicknamed Will Smith"The Prince",she didn't know how famous that nickname would become.Young Will had such a smooth way of talking that his teachers said he sounded as if he were born of royalty(高贵).
Will was interested in music,especially rap music.He began rapping when he was 12years old.Although he soon became good enough to make a recording,Will hesitated to do so.At that time,rap music featured a lot of violence.Will was against violence in songs.He could see that violence had a negative effect on many young listeners.
As he grew older,Will's charm and sense of humor impressed many people.He was offered acting jobs and soon became well-known in his television sitcom (情景喜剧),The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.The show was successful,and Will lived up to his nickname.Will's acting career led to starring roles in major motion pictures.Independence Day which starred Will Smith,earned more money than any movie in 1996.The following year,Men in Black earned the most money in 1997.The soundtrack(原声带) from Men in Black gave Will fame as a recording artist.He began mixing his interests,music and acting.His new Men in Black rock video won the MTV Music Award,while his next film,Enemy of the State,thrilled (使兴奋) adventure seekers.
Although Will has enjoyed great success in his acting career,music is still his first love.He finds singing and writing lyrics much more challenging than acting.Although Will's sense of humor is evident in his music,he often writes songs with meaning and purpose.Just the Two of Us is a song he wrote for his young son.Will wants his son to know something about him when he is older.Family and friends are very important to Will.They are what encourage him to continue in his career.

1.It's wise that students sometimes step out of the classroom-after all,they can learn  a lot from the world we see outside the school windows.Let's take a look at what some teenagers got up to recently when they took a break from their textbooks.
Lu Runqiu,17,Shanghai No.3Girls School
Earlier this month our class had a week away from the campus to work in a field in the suburbs (郊区).We learned how local farmers grow their vegetables and prepare watermelon plants so they will survive the winter.We helped the farmers harvest cotton and soybeans and weed the field.But in the evenings we couldn't just fall into our beds and talk away the time till sleep.We had the mid-term exams to think about-we would sit them just five days after we left the farmers.
However,to tell the truth I would really like to go back.I really miss-the food-the potatoes,tomatoes,cabbages,come and eggs are delicious,much better than anythin8; we can get in the city!All in all,I'd say it was a great experience.

A.Building up their bodies.
B.Building up their mind.

D.Visiting the military center.
2.Although cats may be one of the most popular pets today,little is known about how and when humans and cats set up their close relationship.
The earliest evidence for human-cat interaction dates back to prehistoric Cyprus(史前塞浦路斯),where the remains of a wild cat and a human-dated 9,500years old-were found buried together.
A new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has confirmed the first direct evidence of a human-domestic cat relationship among Chinese farmers 5,300years ago.Researchers studied the bones of cats,dogs,deer and other animals unearthed in an excavation (挖掘) near a village in Central China.By using some ways,scientists showed that the cats were living on a mostly millet(黍)-based diet,just like the domesticated dogs and pigs from the site.
"The most reasonable explanation for a high consumption of millet-based food is that the cats had formed a stable and mutual relationship with humans and could easily feed on rodents (啮齿动物) around human villages,find leftover food or even have been fed by people intentionally,"said Hu Yaowu from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing,whose research focuses on the relationship between humans and domesticated animals.
"It is very interesting for us to find the consumption of millet-based foods by the cats,since this kind of evidence had long been missing."Hu explains.Since cats usually eat meat,such a diet would be unexpected,unless the cats were being fed by people,the study argues.The researchers also found that one of the cats survived to reach old age,implying that it had a safe place to live and enough to eat.
Why the farmers wanted to keep cats nearby or make them"pets"could be answered by other evidence.Chinese archaeologists found some storage containers were specifically designed to keep out rodents-a vermin (害兽) that cats could certainly have helped with.
The simplified theory is that rats were attracted to the food of farmers,and so were harmful to farmers.Cats were attracted to the rats,and so farmers formed a mutually beneficial relationship with cats,taking care of them in return for pest control.

66.The evidence found in the remains dating back to prehistoric Cyprus meansB.
A.human made cats pets as early as 9,500years ago
B.human interacted with cats very early
C.cats didn't appear until prehistoric Cyprus
D.when cats became domesticated
67.Apart from cats,Hu Yaowu and his teams may also studyC.
A.the preventions of pests from grains         
B.the history of Chinese farming
C.the dogs and pigs                        
D.the ways to keep pets
68.Which of the following is NOT the evidence of Chinese farms'keeping cats?A.
A.Cats didn't feed on meat.
B.The cats consumed large amounts of millet-based foods.
C.One of the cats survived to reach old age.
D.Some storage containers were specifically designed to keep out rodents.
69.What are the reasons for farmers to keep cats?D.
A.Helping keep other domesticated animals

A.Entertainment                           B.Environment
C.Human and Science                      D.Life and fashion.
