Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want．Within five years，each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop．The laptops are part of a＄10 million computer program at Westlake，a 110-year-old college．The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet．In addition，they will be able to use e-mail to"speak"with their teachers，their classmates，and their families．However，the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs．They can work with it at home，in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees-anywhere at all!

17．How to Become an Effective LeaderThe key to becoming an effective leader is not to focus on making other people follow，but on making yourself the kind of person they want to follow．（36）GIt takes time to become a trustworthy（值得信耐的）leader．As you prepare yourself to become a better leader，use the following tips to help you grow：
Don't be self-centered．
The truly great leaders are not in leadership for personal gain．（37）APerhaps that is why Lawrence Bell remarked，"A man who cannot bother to do little things for others are unlikely to become a good leader．"
（38）B
Rare is the effective leader who didn't learn to become a good follower first．That is why a leadership institution such as the United States Military Academy teaches its officers to become effective followers first．
Work with excellence．
No one respects and follows mediocrity（平庸）．Leaders who earn the right to lead give their all to what they do．They bring into play（发挥） not only their skills and talents，but also great passion and hard work．（39）D
Give your power away．

15．A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes，as a rule，to have it retold in almost the same words，but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as formal texts．It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book，and，if a parent can produce what，in the actual circumstances of the time and the individual child，is an improvement on the printed text，that's much better．
A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or making him sad thinking．To prove the latter，one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often guilty of cruelty than those who had not．As to fears，there are，I think，some cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy story．Often，however，this arises from the child who has heard the story once．Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered．
There are also people who are opposed to fairy stories in that they are not true，that giants，witches，two-headed dragons，magic carpets，etc．do not exist； and that，instead of being fond of the strange side in fairy tales，the child should be taught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics．I find such people，I must say so strange that I do not know how to argue with them．If their cases were sound，the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girlfriend．
No fairy story has ever claimed to be description of the real world and no clever child has ever believed that it was．

32．The author considered that a fairy story is more effectiveD．
A．when a story is repeated without any change
B．when we treat a story as a joke
C．when the story is set in the present time
D．when the parent makes some changes about a story
33．According to the passage，when can great fear take place in a child？A
A．When a story is heard for the first time．
B．When a story is in a realistic setting．
C．When a story is repeated too often．
D．When a story is told in a different way．
34．What is the advantage claimed for repeating fairy stories to young children？C
A．Encouraging them not to have strange beliefs．
B．Developing their power of memory．
C．Making them less fearful
D．Making them believe there is nothing to be afraid of．
35．The author's mention of sticks and telephones is meant to suggest thatD．
A．fairy stories are still being made up
B．there is more concern for children's fears nowadays
C．people try to update old fairy stories
D．there is some misunderstanding about fairy tales．

13．假定你是中学生李华．在一位名叫 Tiger Mom 的学生家长的博客上，你看到如下内容．请你根据博客内容、写作要点和要求，给这位家长回复．
I'm the mother of a fourteen-year-old．I have a rule for my daughter：be among the top 5students or get punished in one way or another．She has been doing very well in school，but some friends of mine keep telling me that I put too much pressure on her．Am I wrong？
写作要点：
1．表明自己的看法；
2．陈述至少两点理由；
3．提出至少两条建议．
要求：
1．短文词数不少于 100（不含已写好的部分）；
2．内容充实，结构完整，语意连贯；
3．书写须清晰、工整．
Hi，Tiger Mom，
What puzzles you is actually a puzzle for many parents in China．As far as I'm concerned，it is not quite right for you to do so．My reasons are as follows．
Firstly，too much pressure leads to lack of time to participate in after-classactivities．As a result，your daughter can't get fully developed．Furthermore，by no means is punishment a wise choice to help her build self-confidence，which is of great importance and value to a person．
So I suggest you take your friends'advice．Instead of putting too much pressure on you daughter，it is more advisable to allow her more time for other activities．Besides，you might as well let her make mistakes of her own as we teenagers often do and give her support and encouragementin time．
I hope you will find these suggestions helpful．
Li Hua．

12．Some understanding of grammar is fundamentaltolearning English．

11．I was waiting to cross on a typically busy road of New York City when a young lady approached from my right，pushing a baby stroller（婴儿车） and saying something softly over her lovely child．Oh，no，she's going to get hit．Yet I paused for a few seconds before reaching out to her．In my mind．I could see it all：the yellow taxi knocking into them heavily，the woman losing hold of the stroller，the stroller and baby falling in different directions．
"What are you doing？"a man said．His voice brought me back to reality：the man had come out of nowhere，grabbed the woman's arm and dragged her back greatly just in time to avoid the speeding taxi．The woman was shocked．She had been unaware of her near death．
I saw this man become a hero for the day； he saved two lives．He certainly wasn't like Superman or any other comic-book hero．I，however，the silent stranger who just stood there，saw everything and did nothing．Why didn't I do anything immediately？Why did I wait for five seconds？But then I realized that a part of it was…I was afraid．Afraid that I could have been wrong about my prediction：What if she got annoyed by my action？What if I looked like a fool？
Years later，I could still see that scene fresh in my mind．I now think about our society，and why I have been raised．We look around the subway，noticing empty seats between people，and all those who choose to stand for 15minutes rather than sit next to strangers．Kids grow up with the warning that if they talk to strangers，they will end up getting kidnapped（绑架） and never be seen again．

29．We can infer that the author feltB．
A．grateful to the man for his timely warning．
B．guilty for not offering help at the first time．
C．hateful to the man for his bad behavior．
D．happy for the woman and her baby being saved timely．
30．Why didn't the author take immediate action？A
A．She suffered from some mental struggles．
B．She was well aware of her limited abilities．
C．She couldn't believe it was a real accident．
D．She was unable to reach for the lady and her kid．
31．The author‘s purpose of writing the passage is to show thatC．
A．we are supposed to be aware of our safety．
B．we should reflect on our previous behavior．
C．we need to change our traditional thoughts．
D．we must make some contributions to the society．
