again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age
gives him without wasting his time in useless things.
Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities (责任) to think about. A child is usually fed, looked
after and loved by his parents. He will never be expected to do anything in return. In addition (另外), life is
always presenting (呈现) new things to a child, but the things that have lost their appeal (吸引力) for the old
because they are too well-known. In the meanwhile, a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes
to, he is continually (不断地) being told not to do a certain thing, or being punished for what he has done wrong.
After a child grows up, he starts to make his own living. He can no longer expect others to pay for his
food, his clothes, or his room, and he has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time
playing about in the way he used to play as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he
used to break the laws of his parents, he may go in prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and
has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up his own position in society.
B. life for a child is very hard
C. only the old are interested in life
D. only children are interested in life
B. Children get interested in things around them.
C. Adults are free to do what they want to.
D. Adults should rely on themselves.
B. young men can have the greatest happiness.
C. childhood is the most enjoyable time in one's life
D. one can be a happy person only if he can enjoy each age of his life
B. how to build up one's position in society
C. joys and pains of old people
D. what to do when one has problems in life
laptops connect people to their workplaces. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their
classrooms.
West Lake College in Virginia will start a laptop 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 the 510 million computer programs at West Lake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also
have access (通路) to the Internet. In addition (另外), they will be able to use e-mails 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 is OK!
Because of many changes in computer technology, laptops are widely used in higher education, such as
colleges and universities. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers.
In addition, the portable (便携式的) computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries
and other resources (资源). State higher-education officials are studying how to help students. State officials are
also testing laptop programs at other universities.
At West Lake College, more than 60 percent of the staff (员工) use computers. The laptops will allow all
teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one West Lake teacher said, here we are in the middle of Virginia
and we're giving students a window of the world. They can see everything and do everything.

What’s the best way to remember our happiest moments, like a birthday or festival? I bet you would answer , “Take lots of photos!” Well, here is a great surprise. People who always take photos may actually be harming(伤害) their memory, because they’re not concentrating on the event itself. That’s according to new research by Fairfield University, Connecticut, in the US. They call this the “photo-taking impairment(损害) affect”.“People so often take out their cameras almost mindlessly to catch a moment, to the point that they are missing what is happening right in front of them,” Henkel and her team decided to perform an experiment. They wanted to find out whether taking photos in a museum weakened(减弱) a visitor’s memory of what they had seen. So they simply told a group to look around the museum, and either take photos of the items on display, or try to remember what they had seen. In addition(另外), the amount(数量) of detail(细节) they remembered was worse than those who didn’t take photos. “These results show how the mind’s eye and the camera’s eye are not the same,” said Henkel.
But don’t put your camera down just yet. Other studies have found that looking back at old photos helps us remember an event, compared to just taking a photo and forgetting about it. So next time you’re thinking of taking a photo, just think: is it better to look at the beauty around you with your own eyes, or behind the eye of the camera?
小题1: When we take photos, we _________.| A.fail to focus on the event itself |
| B.can’t record the details |

小题2:Which of the following is NOT true about the experiment?| A.People who didn’t take photos did better in the experiment. |
| B.They asked a group to try to remember what they had seen. |
| C.The experiment aimed to learn what people were interested in at the museum. |
| D.People who took photos in the museum could remember less details. |
小题3:According to the passage, we’d better _________.| A.never use our cameras |
| B.remember an event by heart |
| C.always remember an event with the help of a camera |
| D.see everything only with our own eyes |
小题4:What do the results of the experiment show us?| A.The mind’s eye and the camera’s eye are not the same. |
| B.People remember happiest moments by taking photos. |
| C.Looking back at old photos helps us remember an event. |
| D.People don’t like taking photos. |
小题5:Where can we probably read this passage?| A.The entrance of a museum. |
| B.A guidebook on how to take good pictures. |
| C.An instruction of how to use a camera. |
| D.A scientific report. |
