7．Two years ago，the Funk family of suburban Chicago adopted a Chinese baby girl who had been abandoned on a sidewalk near a Yangzhou textile factory．
Last year，halfway across the United States，the Ramirez family of suburban Miami adopted a girl who had been abandoned a week later on the same spot．
Both families named their daughters Mia．It turns out，a first name and Chinese heritage aren't the only things the threeyearolds have in common．The girls'mothers-Holly Funk and Diana Ramirez-met on a website for parents who had gone through international adoptions．After a lot of emails comparing photographs and biographical details，DNA testing proved the families'suspicions：the girls are probably fraternal（亲如手足的） twins．
"I was in shock，"said Ramirez，who lives with her husband Carlos in Pembroke Pines，Florida．"Well，now this is for real．"
The Internet and Web groups revolving around international orphanages are increasingly being used to link adopted children with biological kin（亲属）．The site that the Funks and Ramirezes used has a membership of 137people，with 15sets of twins and 7sets of siblings （兄弟，姐妹） whose relationships have been confirmed．
At a reunion Friday at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport，Mia Diamond Funk and Mia Hanying Ramirez shyly surveyed each other，and then reached for each other's hand．
DNA tests establish an 85percent probability that the girls are at least halfsisters．Scientists do not have a biological parent to test and reach a greater certainty，but given their ages and physical similarities，experts say it is likely they are fraternal twins．
Douglas and Holly Funk hope to bring their Mia to Miami in October．Both sets of parents say they are committed to staying in touch and often let the twins talk to each other on the phone．
12．Both the adopted girls shared a first nameD．
A．because they both came from China
B．because of their physical similarities
C．because their US parents suspected they were twins
D．for no good reason
13．Why did the girls'mothers meet on the Internet？B
A．To compare photographs of the two girls．
B．To find the girls'biological kin．
C．To test their suspicions．
D．To enjoy the joy of adopting children．
14．Experts are still not 100percent sure that the two girls are fraternal twins becauseC．
A．DNA tests are still not accurate enough
B．the two girls were born in two different families
C．the DNA of a biological parent is still missing
D．one girl was born a week later than the other
15．What Ramirez said in Paragraph 4suggests that sheB．
A．didn't believe what had happened
B．was surprised at what had happened
C．didn't want to accept the fact
D．was pleased with what they had done．

6．Now in a world piled high with smartphones，tablets and e-readers，technology has entered the classroom in ways unimaginable．Taking classes can be fun too．All you have to do is swipe your fingers on your phone screen and download some Apps，which can make your study more fun and efficient．Balancing study and play in a college setting has never been easy----and with the following few Apps，it'll be tough to tell the two apart．
Evernote
Use：note-taking
Can be used on：iPhone/iPad/iPod touch，Android，BlackBerry，PalmOS and Windows Phone 7
Price：free
It's hard to imagine that with all the magical gadgets （小配件），the eager，studious types would still take out a notepad，a pencil，and a highlighter----and take notes in class．While it's not an actual planner or calendar App，if you take notes to stay organized，then Evernote is for you．The main thing about Evernote is that all of your notes are automatically sent into the cloud（云储存平台上）---and then you can access them from any web-connected computer via the Evernote App or a web browser．Evernote also support audio and photo notes----rather handy if you want to record your lecture or take photos of any projected notes．But，of course，ask for permission first．
Wikipanion
Use：research database
Can be used on：iPhone/iPad/iPod touch
Price：free（Wikipanion Plus for＄4.99，or 31.87yuan）
Now，you don't necessarily have to go to a library or anywhere with computer services to do research work for your paper anymore．You can get access to the research databases just on your smartphone or tablet．Wikipanion gives you a simplified version of Wikipedia without leaving out any of the site's extra features．The normal links that you'd see to each section of an article are no longer on the main screen．Instead，there's a small icon located at the bottom of the app，which can be used to access all the sections of an article．You can also open the links in Safari（苹果浏览器）．According to the developers'site，loading Wikipedia pages with Wikipanion is a lot faster than accessing the Wikipedia site from the iPhone's browsers．
To be honest，we agree．
