I couldn’t imagine how they could think that is actually what China is like. China has so many more conveniences and advantages than the West, and many of my friends agree. “I don’t know how I will be able to deal when I go back home,” said a friend who is about to end her gap year in Beijing. “I’ve become so spoiled in China.”

China seems to be leading the way in innovation(创新) and convenience for daily life. Back home I could never shop, pull out my phone and scan a QR code to pay.

There have been rumors of starting bike sharing in my hometown for years with little success while bike sharing suddenly appeared in Beijing overnight. I just step outside and scan a code, and I am on my way.

Going out to eat with a group of friends back home was troublesome for both the group and the servers. Splitting bills and swiping(刷) 10 different cards or making change for each person in the group can be a pain. But with China’s WeChat, you can quickly send your friends your part of the bill.

The list goes on…

When I first arrived in Beijing, I was dead set on leaving in a month. That month has come and gone. Now, when someone asks me when I’m coming back, I think to myself, “Who knows?”

While my friends think I am riding through the desert on a motorbike, I am actually taking a Didi for what is the equivalent of $5 in the US.

With all the conveniences and technology here, I may never want to go back.

The volume of passenger traffic (客运量) reaches its climax before and after the Spring Festival. Especially, the number of those who decide to go back to their hometown by train is increasing rapidly, so it promotes the short of the tickets of passenger train. Luckily, the Ministry of Railways (铁道部) has come up with solutions. For instance, it arranges extra trains during the peak time for passenger transport as well as opens 24hour ticket sales windows for passengers in order to ease the traffic pressure. Moreover, it helps to deliver train tickets to the doorsteps, providing convenience for passengers.

One thing that has to be mentioned this year is about start of selling tickets online this year. For one thing, it to some degree shortens the time of purchasing tickets. However, most of the passengers are migrant workers returning home for Spring Festival. They are not familiar with the process of buying tickets and as a result cannot buy the tickets on time. What is worse, many computers selling tickets broke down under too much pressure of operation. Therefore, many people blame such a method in that it doesn't suit nowadays' situation.

The Science of Risk-Seeking
Sometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth taking. Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us. Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work.
The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans. Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, orexploring. As the quality of Risk-taking was passed from on ration to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.
So why aren’t we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-taking could get one Killed. A few daring survived, though,along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe youlove car racing, or maybe you hate it.
No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range,scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. Tohelp you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences.
New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well.
Mean taking some risks, so your brain raisers your tolerance for risk as well.
For the risk-seekers a partof the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.
As experts continueto study the science of risk-seeking, we’ll continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool.
A. It all depends on your character.
B. Those are the risks you shouldjump to take.
C. Being better at those thingsmeant a greater chance of survival.
D. Thus, these well-equipped people survived becausethey were the fittest.
E. This is when you start to move away from your family and into thebigger world.
F. However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weighrisks and rewards.
G. New brain research suggests our brains work differently when weface a nervous situation.

I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard my name calling. I was chosen to play the leading role in Cinderella, that was my dream. As a shy and thin girl, I used to be quite afraid of speaking in the public. But my parents and teachers always encourage me to do so. Now I have changed great. In class, I am often the first one to stand up and answer question even if I may make some mistakes. No pains, no gains. Now I am always brave enough overcome the difficulty in my heart and have changed in a lively girl. So my experience shows that we should not be afraid of losing face but only in this way can you make progress.

ChildWise, a market research firm specializing in children's products, found that one in four undereights had a mobile. The total of 4.5 million youngsters with mobiles included 58 percent of 9 to 10yearolds, 89 percent of 11 to 12yearolds, 93 percent of 13 to 14yearolds and 95 percent of 15 to 16yearolds.

Experts are also concerned about the possible impact of mobile phone radiation on developing brains. But Michael Abramson, a professor at Monash University, Melbourne, Australia, says the amount of radiation transmitted during text messaging is a mere 0.03 percent of that transmitted during voice calls — suggesting radiation is not to blame for the brain effects.

In a recent study, Prof Abramson analyzed the mobile phone use of children aged between 11 and 14 and their ability to carry out a number of computer tests. He found that increased mobile phone use appears to change the way their brains work. He said, “The kids who used their phones a lot were faster on some of the tests, but were less accurate. We suppose that using mobile phones a lot, particularly tools like predictive texts for SMS, is training them to be fast but inaccurate. The use of mobile phones is changing the way children learn and pushing them to become more impulsive in the way they behave without thinking things through.”

The findings follow other research that suggested that text messaging encourages children's language skills and does not damage the ability to spell.

【1】It can be concluded from the ChildWise's research that ________.

A. the older the child is, the greater chance he has a mobile phone

B. children under eight are too young to use mobile phones

C. children aged between 11－14 were not involved in the research

D. 4.5 million people have a mobile phone in Australia

【2】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Prof Abramson thinks mobile phones have little effect on children.

B. There's less radiation transmitted during text messaging than during voice calls.

C. Text messaging trains children to be fast and accurate.

D. Text messaging may damage children's ability to spell.

【3】What does the underlined word “impulsive” in the fourth paragraph mean?

A. Encouraging someone to do something.

B. Forcing someone to accept a way of life.

C. Doing things without considering the effects they may have.

D. Doing things with careful planning and consideration.

Five Things Nobody Told Me about College
As I type this, I am in my university dorm room. A year ago, when I was awaiting to hear the results of my college applications, I often went to websites for some type of insider look on what college would be like. However, there’s only so much that prep books, websites, and older friends can teach. Here are the top 5things nobody told me about college:

Nobody entering a university knows exactly what they want to study. If they tell you otherwise, they’re lying and will probably change what they want to purse within the first quarter of attendance. During my first quarter at University of California, Riverside (UCR), I thought that I wanted to study Political Science with its focus on International Affairs, so that's what I applied for. However, once I worked with statewide and local government, I realized that a better fit for me would be Public Policy, and now I am in the process of changing my area.

In college, there are so many good chances for you to meet your expectations. However, there is a very important difference between wanting to do something and applying for something. In order for you to take advantage of the conferences, research, internships, and fellowships that your university offers, apply! Step into your academic advisor's office, introduce yourself, and begin making the valuable connections that are necessary to help during the rest of your college career. Great things happen when you step out of your comfort zone, and you would be surprised on how many chances exist if you just ask.

College is where you meet your bridesmaids, neighbors, and potential bosses. The relationships you develop now will probably be linked to the ones you value later, so be wise about the people who you invest yourself in. You are only one person, and you do not have time to waste on people who would rather cause drama or mess up with your purpose. Surround yourself with uplifting individuals who challenge you to be better while loving you for who you are, and be patient to the people who are the complete opposite of that description.

As a first-year, I was afraid to make any noise towards campus issues that I noticed. It was not until I became involved in student government that I gained the confidence to handle projects that I created with the help of ASUCR Office of the President. During my first quarter, I spoke directly to the Chancellor, asking him for support towards my initiatives, met with the Vive Chancellors, and cooperated with my teaching assistances to begin my undergraduate research protect. Nothing good will happen when you are silent.

At my high school, there were about only four active club and organizations that students could be a part of. Imagine my surprise when I stepped foot onto UCR’s campus, where over 400 organizations exist, ranging from political organizations to karate club. You are not paying all or your tuition(学费)to merely go to class, study, pass tests and graduate. Make something worthy out of your experience. Create that you will want to tell your grandchildren one day. It all begins here, by signing up to join an organization.

The theme of Success for Teens is “Little Things Matter.” The book helps teens identify small, positive choices they can make in their lives to help them reach their goals. Lots of teens don't realize how the little choices in their lives can have lasting effects. Often they are focused on the bigger events, such as a major exam, the big game or competition, or choosing a college. The little things, however, can go unnoticed unless your teen understands how important they can be.

The little things that lead to success are mostly easy to do. Help your teen identify a few areas in everyday life where he or she can make small, positive choices. It might be as simple as getting up on time, prioritizing (按重要性排列) their schoolwork, putting in an extra 10 minutes of practice or using some spare time to help someone else.

Nineteenyearold Kyle Freas used to be on his school baseball team and would play every day after school. When the season was over, he had an empty three hours a day, so he started spending one third of such extra time daily, looking for ways to help other kids. Over the last few years, his project has raised thousands of dollars to help abused, homeless and sick children. Kyle spent just a little time each day doing something that ended up benefiting a lot of kids. The important thing to understand is that Kyle made the small and positive decisions necessary for success.

Make sure your child understands that even though the results of the positive choices may not be seen right away, they are building on each other and taking him or her on a path that will lead to success.

【1】We learn from Paragraph 2 that ________．

The Pew Research Center report asked thousands of experts and members of the public for opinions on “the most significant overall influences of our uses of the Internet on humanity” — and some had a rosier outlook than others.

“The smartest person in the world nowadays could well be stuck behind a plough in India or China，” said Hal, Google's chief economist.“Enabling that person — and the millions like him or her — will have a strong effect on the development of the human race.”

Early Internet pioneer David Hughes agreed: “When every person on this planet can communicate twoway with every other person on this planet, the power of nation states to control every human inside its geographic boundaries may start to disappear.”

Wearables (electronic equipment that people can wear) could monitor more than just steps, predicted UC Berkeley's Aron Roberts — or do more than just monitor: “We may literally be able to adjust both medications and lifestyle changes on a daybyday basis or even an hourbyhour basis.”

Microsoft Research's Jonathan Grudin is more pessimistic (悲观的): “By making so much activity visible, it exposes the gap between the way people behave and the way we think they ought to behave.Adjusting to this will be an unending, difficult task.”

And the difference between the rich and the poor will have a new aspect: “Only the welloff (and welleducated) will know how to preserve their privacy，” warned one expert.“Will the Internet make it possible for our entire civilization to fall down together, in one big awful step? Possibly，” admitted Harvard's Doctor Searles.“But the Internet has already made it possible for us to use one of our unique advantages — the ability to share knowledge — to a degree higher than ever before.”

【1】According to Hal, in the future, those who will influence the development of human race are________．

A. Google's economists B. Chinese and Indians

C. the educated persons D. world leading experts

【2】People will be able to change their lifestyles at any time according to________．

A. the development of communication skills

B. the suggestions made by computer experts

C. the prediction made by the home computers

D. the data recorded by the computers worn on body

【3】The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 6 refers to________．

A. the visible activities mentioned above

B. the way we thought they ought to behave

C. the way people really behave in life

D. the rule people ought to obey in life

【4】Which of the following can best express the meaning of the last paragraph?

A. Advantages and disadvantages of the Internet.

B. Development of the Internet and human beings.

C. Knowledge and civilization of human beings.

D. Possibilities of the Internet for the future users.
