    [1] When it comes to protecting the privacy of their children, US parents give social networks a failing grade.

    [2] Three out of four parents believe social networks are not doing a good job of protecting kids' online privacy. The survey was conducted for Common Sense Media, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping families surf the world of media and technology. 92 percent of parents said they are concerned that children share too much information online, and 85 percent said they are more concerned about online privacy than they were five years ago.

    [3] The poll found a great deal of concern about gee-location services which pinpoint, someone's whereabouts. 91 percent of parents said search engines and social networking sites should not be able to share the physical location of children with other companies until parents give authorization.

    [4] The results present a clear divide between the industry's view of privacy and the opinion of parents and kids. Common Sense Media chief executive and founder James Steyer said: "American families are deeply worried about how their personal information is being used by technology and online companies. However, the companies appear to be keeping their heads deep in the sand."

    [5] Technology companies need to step up but parents, children, schools and government also need to do more, he said. "Parents and kids have to educate themselves about____," he said. "Schools should teach all students and their parents about privacy protection. And finally, policymakers have to update privacy policies for the 21st century."

My 17-year-old daughter went off to college and having her away from home brought back memories of watching Peter Pan when she was little. In the classic TV production, one scene in particular impressed me: when Mrs Darling puts her children into bed. As she turns off the last of the night lights, she takes one last look at the bedroom and says, “Dear night lights, protect my sleeping children.” As a mother, I know how much she loves her children.
It has been several weeks since we took our daughter to college and she seems to be adjusting (适应) well after a short period of homesickness. For us, though, it’s another story. Like most parents, I love checking in on my children at night. But now she’s gone, and I find nighttimes the hardest. I miss her most at night.
In my neighborhood, most of the parents whose kids are off to college are dealing with similar melancholy. My husband is filled with anxiety. One friend talked about getting this sick feeling in her stomach as she prepared for the college drop-off. We complained that many of us were too busy to truly enjoy being with our children while we had them.
For us moms, seeing Toy Story 3 only made the sadness worse as we watched the character Andy, who is the same age as our kids, say goodbye to his childhood as he prepares to leave for college. And it’s not just “first-time” parents like me. Two moms who have kids already well into college said the separation didn’t get any easier. “You feel like something has been taken away from inside you,” said one of them.
I imagine things will get easier with time, especially as I see my daughter adjust to college life. Meanwhile, as I keep my cellphone close to me in bed and text my daughter goodnight and sweet dreams every night, I like to think that messages serve as a night light that keeps her safe.
【小题1】The writer was deeply impressed by the scene in Peter Pan because ___________.

A.she watched the scene with her daughter
B.the scene was very exciting and interesting
C.the scene taught her and her daughter a good lesson
D.the scene showed a mother’s deep love for her children
【小题2】After he daughter went to college, the writer ___________.
A.didn’t get used to the change for a long time
B.often cried as she missed her daughter so much
C.realized she hadn’t done enough for the daughter
D.failed to have a good sleep every night
【小题3】What is the underlined word “melancholy” in Paragraph 3 similar in meaning to?
A.Happiness.B.Anger.C.Sadness.D.Excitement.
【小题4】We can infer that watching Toy Story 3 ___________.
A.made the writer know her daughter didn’t want to go to college
B.improved the relationship between the writer and her daughter
C.helped the writer realize how important education was
D.made the writer miss her daughter even more

Happy birthday! Do birthday really make people happy? Of course they do. Birthday celebrate the day when we were born. Besides, that extra candle on the cake suggest another year of growth and maturity—or so we hope. We all like to imagine that we are getting wiser and not just older. Most of us enjoy seeing the wonder of growth in others, as well. For instance, seeing our children develop and learn new things makes us feel proud. For Americans, like people in most cultures, growing up is a wonderful process. But growing old? That is a different story.

Growing old is not exactly for people in youth-oriented(以年轻人为中心) American culture. Most Americans like to look young, act young and feel young. As the old saying goes, “You’re young as you feel.” Older people joke about how many years young they are, rather than how many years old. People in some countries value the aged as a source of experience and wisdom. But Americans seem to favor those that are young, or at least “young at heart”.

Many older Americans find the “golden years” to be anything but golden. Economically, “senior citizens” often struggle just to get by. Retirement at the age of 65 brings a sharp decrease in personal income. Social security benefits usually cannot make up the difference. Older people may suffer from poor nutrition, medical care, and housing. Some even experience age discrimination. American sociologist Pat Moore once dressed up like an older person and wandered city streets. She was often treated rudely—even cheated and robbed. However, dressed as a young person, she received much more respect.

Unfortunately, the elderly population in America is increasing fast. Why? People are living longer. Fewer babies are being born. And middle-aged “baby boomers” are rapidly entering the group of the elderly. America may soon be a place where wrinkles(皱纹) are “in”. Marketing experts are ready noticing this growing group of consumer.

Growing up is a wonderful thing because ____________.

A. people can celebrate their birthday              B. people can receive many presents    

C. people can become more mature and wiser      D. people will feel younger at heart

We can infer from the second paragraph that __________.

A. different countries have different opinions on the old age

B. American older people often joke about their old age

C. American culture is very young

D. young people lack experience and wisdom

What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?

A. The golden years can make the old earn lots of money.

B. American social security benefits are not good.

C. The old in America are leading a hard life.

D. The old in America have to retire at the age of 65.

What does the underlined word “in” in the last paragraph mean?

A. serious              B. disappearing slowly                 C. cool                  D. growing fast

According to the text, which of the following is correct?

A. The young are often discriminated in America.

B. The young are more respected than the old in America.

C. Growing old makes people feel proud in America.

D. The old are more respected than the young in America.

Photos that you might have found down the back of your sofa are now big business!
In 2005,the American artist Richard Prince’s photograph of a photograph,Untitled (Cowboy),was sold for $1 248 000.
Prince is certainly not the only contemporary artist to have worked with so-called “found photographs”—a loose term given to everything from discarded(丢弃的)prints discovered in a junk shop to old advertisements or amateur photographs from a stranger’s family album.The German artist Joachim Schmid,who believes “basically everything is worth looking at”,has gathered discarded photographs,postcards and newspaper images since 1982.In his on-going project,Archiv,he groups photographs of family life according to themes:people with dogs;teams;new cars;dinner with the family;and so on.
Like Schmid,the editors of several self-published art magazines also champion(捍卫)found photographs.One of them,called simply Found,was born one snowy night in Chicago,when Davy Rothbard returned to his car to find under his wiper(雨刷)an angry note intended for someone else:“Why’s your car HERE at HER place?”The note became the starting point for Rothbard’s addictive publication,which features found photographs sent in by readers,such as a poster discovered in your drawer.
The whole found-photograph phenomenon has raised some questions.Perhaps one of the most difficult is:can these images really be considered as art?And,if so,whose art?Yet found photographs produced by artists,such as Richard Prince,may raise endless possibilities.What was the cowboy in Prince’s Untitled doing?Was he riding his horse hurriedly to meet someone?Or how did Prince create this photograph?It’s anyone’s guess.In addition,as we imagine the back-story to the people in the found photographs artists,like Schmid,have collated(整理),we also turn toward our own photographic albums.Why is memory so important to us?Why do we all seek to freeze in time the faces of our children,our parents,our lovers,and ourselves?Will they mean anything to anyone after we’ve gone?
In the absence of established facts,the vast collections of found photographs give our minds an opportunity to wander freely.That,above all,is why they are so fascinating.
【小题1】The first paragraph of the passage is used to_______.

A.remind readers of found photographs
B.advise readers to start a new kind of business
C.ask readers to find photographs behind sofas
D.show readers the value of found photographs
【小题2】According to the passage,Joachim Schmid_______.
A.is fond of collecting family life photographs
B.found a complaining note under his car wiper
C.is working for several self-published art magazines
D.wondered at the artistic nature of found photographs
【小题3】The underlined word “them”in Paragraph 4 refers to“_______”.
A.the readers
B.the editors
C.the found photographs
D.the self-published magazines
【小题4】By asking a series of questions in Paragraph 5,the author mainly intends to indicate that_______.
A.memory of the past is very important to people
B.found photographs allow people to think freely
C.the back-story of found photographs is puzzling
D.the real value of found photographs is questionable
【小题5】The author’s attitude toward found photographs can be described as_______.
A.criticalB.doubtful
C.optimisticD.satisfied
