Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A–F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.
|
A. Try to visit every school you are considering before applying B. Off-campus life C. Don’t let a lack of fund block your search D. See the campus when it’s alive with activity—warts and all E. College tour is a good choice F. Be proactive |
1.__________________
It is high school spring break season—and if you are a junior (or an overachieving sophomore), chances are you will spend a chunk of your vacation wandering around college campuses with super-enthusiastic, backwards-walking student tour guides.
“As a parent who recently went through this process, I know how stressful these visits can be for both the student and the parent,” Taylor said. “But on the flip side, they can be fun and exciting, as well as offer a great learning experience and a time to bond.”
2.__________________
For students who live far from schools they are interested in, but who may not have the money for personal visits, start by visiting colleges in your area that are similar to your schools of choice. For example, see first-hand how a large, public campus differs from a small private school.
3.__________________
Too often students will choose a college based on word of mouth or one that looks great on paper. But once they arrive, they immediately know it’s a mistake (or the right one!). There are many aspects of campus life that you can’t understand until you actually set foot on campus—such as the surrounding areas, the energy of the students and the quality of the facilities. By visiting beforehand, you’ll assure that you apply only to colleges where you’d actually want to spend four years.
4._________________
To get a true feel for a campus, you should try to experience it on a typical day—when classes are in session and the campus is a buzz with activity. Try not to visit on a weekend or during the school’s spring break, if possible.
5._________________
Since much of the college experience exists outside classroom walls, students should take note of the school’s immediate neighbourhood and of the available amenties in close proximity to the campus—affordable restaurants, museums, movie theatres, concert halls, and shopping areas.

Loren Gladstone of Toronto is 58, but thinking over how to bequeath (遗赠) his digital property(财产). Doing the paperwork after his parents' death was a challenge. “When my time comes, I wonder if my children will even know what paper is,” he says. As a software developer, his virtual property is both valuable and vital to his business. That reflects a problem. Online lives have increasing economic and emotional value. But testamentary (遗嘱) laws offer confusing and incomplete ways of bequeathing and inheriting (继承) them.
Digital property may include software, websites, downloaded content, online gaming identities, social-media accounts and even e-mails. In Britain alone holdings of digital music may be worth over £9 billion ($14 billion). A fifth of respondents to a Chinese local-newspaper survey said they had over 5,000 yuan($790) of digital property. And value does not lie only in money.“Anyone with kids under 14 years old probably has two prints of them and the rest are in online galleries,”says Nathan Lustig of Entrustet, a company that helps people manage digital property.
Service providers have different rules—and few state them clearly in their terms and conditions. Many give users a personal right to use an account, but nobody else, even after death. Facebook allows relatives to close an account or turn it into a memorial page. Gmail (run by Google) will provide copies of e-mails to an executor (遗嘱执行人). Music downloaded via iTunes is held under a license which can be abolished on death. Apple declined to comment on the record on this or other policies. All e-mail and data on its iCloud service are deleted on the death of the owner.
This has led to cases to court in America. In 2004 the family of Justin Ellsworth, an army man killed in Iraq, took Yahoo! to court in Michigan to get copies of his e-mails. This year, a court in Oregon ruled that another American mother whose son had died could use her dead son's password to enter his Facebook account for a short period. Now five American states have made laws giving executors control over the social-networking accounts of dead users.
But this raises the subject of privacy. Passing music on is one thing; not everyone may want their relatives to read their e-mails. Colin Pearson, a London-based lawyer, says access should come only with a clear provision in a will.
But laws, wills and password safes may be contrary to the providers' terms of service, especially when the executor is in one country and the data in another. Headaches for the living and lots of lovely work for lawyers.
1.Why does Loren begin to think over how to bequeath his digital property at the age of 58?
A. Because he is afraid his children don't know what paper is.
B. Because there's no complete law dealing with digital property.
C. Because his digital property is of great value and importance.
D. Because he is worried his children will be taken to court.
2.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Digital property is assessed in terms of nothing except money.
B. No laws in America have been made to deal with digital property.
C. The relatives may read the e-mail of the dead without permission.
D. Lawyers can make money through cases about digital property.
3.Facebook, Google and Apple have a similar rule that ________.
A. users are offered accounts used by nobody else except users themselves
B. relatives of the dead may close an account or use it at their own will
C. the executor may enter the e-mail and read it by themselves at any time
D. the data downloaded by the dead will be copied and then deleted from net
4.Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?
A. Digital Information B. Testamentary Laws
C. Deathless Data D. Vital Property

Founded two years ago, All Green Electronics Recycling is a full-service electronics recycler and
collector. It offers pick-up services as well as hundreds of convenient drop-off locations, nationwide.
Currently, it collects more than two million pounds of electronics per month. All Green Electronics
Recycling announces its new national headquarters' grand opening on January 13, 2011 from 5:30 p.m.
to 7:30 p.m. ---- a Green Carpet Event ---- followed by a free, three-day electronics recycling event
aimed at giving back to the local community in Orange County. Both are open to the public and are
located at: 15561 Del Amo Ave. in Tustin.
"We are particularly excited about the promising new job opportunities available for California
residents," says Arman Sadeghi, CEO, All Green Electronics Recycling.
All Green is growing at jaw-dropping rates. While many companies continue to cut back and lay
off valuable employees, All Green has hired a new person every 4.1 days since its incorporation and
is predicted to hire another 100 employees in the next six months.
In addition to new jobs, many local non-profits and schools will also benefit. All Green is creating
community partnerships and setting up collection events while donating a percentage of the proceeds
from the recycled electronics.
Rather than allowing old televisions or computers to end up at the dump, All Green provides
the public with a way of recycling their old working or non-working electronics safely and responsibly
for free. In fact, those with at least 10 computers, monitors and televisions can go to:
http://www.allgreenrecycling.com to schedule a free pick up in many areas.
Unlike many of its competitors, the company sorts and separates all e-waste within their warehouse
and does not ship anything overseas for processing. It also ensures that any electronics placed in its
care will never find its way into a landfill.
All Green already has a recycling facility in Sacramento and is set to expand its New York
operations within 60 days.
