Twenty years ago,kids in school had never even heard of the Internet.Now,I'll bet you can't find a 36 person in your school who hasn't 37 heard of it.In fact,many of us use it on a regular basis and can even use it at 38 .The “net” in Internet really stands for network.A network is two or more computers 39 together so that information can be 40 or sent from one computer to 41 .The Internet is a vast 42 for all types of information.You may enjoy using it to do 43 for a school project,downloading your favorite songs or 44 with friends and family.Information can be found 45 web pages that companies, organizations, and individuals(个人)create.It's like a giant bulletin board that the whole world uses!But since anyone can put 46 on the Internet,you also have to be careful and use your best 47 and a little common sense.
Just 48 you read something on a piece of paper someone puts on a bulletin board doesn't mean that it's good information,or even correct, for that matter.You have to be sure that whoever posted the information knows what they're talking about, 49 if you're doing research!But what if you're just emailing people?You still have to be very 50 if you've never met the person that you're communicating with online.You could be doing something 51 !You should never give out any 52 information to someone you don't know,not even your name!And just like you can't 53 the information on every website out there.You can't 54 on what strangers you “meet”on the Internet tell you either.In the same way that you could 55 things about yourself to tell someone,someone else could do the same to you!

We may look at the world around us, but somehow we manage not to see it until whatever we've become used to suddenly disappears. 36 , for example, the neatly-dressed woman I 37 to see -- or look at -- on my way to work each morning.
For three years, no matter 38 the weather was like, she was always waiting at the bus stop around 8:00 am. On 39 days, she wore heavy clothes and a pair of woolen gloves. Summertime 40 out neat, belted cotton dresses and a hat pulled low over her sunglasses. 41 , she was an ordinary working woman. Of course, I 42 all this only after she was seen no more. It was then that I realized how 43 I expected to see her each morning. You might say I 44 her.
“Did she have an accident? Something 45 ?” I thought to myself about her 46 . Now that she was gone, I felt I had 47 her. I began to realize that part of our 48 life probably includes such chance meetings with familiar 49 : the milkman you see at dawn, the woman who 50 walks her dog along the street every morning, the twin brothers you see at the library. Such people are 51 markers in our lives. They add weight to our 52 of place and belonging.
Think about it. 53 , while walking to work, we mark where we are by 54 a certain building, why should we not mark where we are when we pass a familiar, though 55 , person?

To Design Perfect School Uniforms设计完美的校服
题材：文化教育难度：＊＊＊＊词数：381标准时间：15分钟完成时间：______ 正确数：______
Believe it or not, there are good reasons for wearing a school uniform. It makes you 1__ proud of your school. It builds a common spirit of unity (整体) among students and 2 them of the values and history of their school. But for most students, school uniforms are not something to be proud of 3 .
“Why 4 the school uniform just one day a week? Always wearing the same clothes makes me feel boring,” a senior student from a high school complained (抱怨). “I don’t like the big English letters of the name of our school on the back,” said a junior student “They could be __5 .” The main student complaints about school uniforms are: simple colors, boring designs and bad 6 . And a teacher at a middle school in Guangzhou said that 7 a teacher and a mother, she eagerly 8 the quality of school uniforms will be improved soon.
What has caused all these problems? Chen Hong, a uniform designer in Shenzhen, pointed out that problems 9 because the whole society doesn’t see the 10 of the school uniform.
“Most designers are 11 to stick to the same old fashion, 12 _ there are no professionals (专业人员) 13 work for students,” Chen said.
His company 14 most of the awards in the first national competition for school uniforms last month in Nanning, Guangxi.
“Besides, high quality calls for a high price,” said Chen. “But in some schools, the annual (一年一度) expense for each student’s uniform is only 50 to 60 yuan. How can we produce high quality clothes with so 15 money?”
Even with these problems, efforts have been made 16 the situation, according to Zhai Shiliang, 17 of the School Uniform Administration and Service Center in Beijing. A school clothes competition was held in April in Beijing. Thirty-seven uniforms, 18 in schools next spring, were selected from 570. “We will offer the samples (样品) for schools to choose,” Zhai said.
“The perfect uniform should remind the students of the school’s honor and cause them to be proud of it 19 they are,” Chen said. Zhai added, “During the 2008 Olympic Games, the whole world will see the new appearance of our 20 century young generation with new school uniforms.”

In recent years many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive. Some experts say the ___1___ is to make jobs more varied(多样的).

Other experts feel that giving the worker___6___ to do his job in his own way is important, and there is no doubt that this is true. The ___7___ is that this kind of freedom can’t easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated(复杂的) machinery which must be used in a ___8___ way. Thus while freedom of choice may be important, there is usually very little that can be done to ___9___ it.
Another important ___10___ is how much each worker ___11___ to the product he is making. In most factories the worker ___12___ only one small part of the product.

阅读下面短文, 掌握其大意, 然后从1-10各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中, 选出最佳选项。
Have you ever heard the phrase, “Love is blind”? If so, you are already 1 with a type of mistake in our attempts to understand others: halo effects. This type of mistake 2 to the fact that once we form an overall impression of somebody, it could have strong effects on our 3 of his personality. 4 , halo effects are both common and powerful. For example, most organizations contain one or more “superstars”--- people who have earned the reputation for being unusually 5 and capable. Once they have gained such a “halo”, everything they do receives good 6 . Ideas that would be regarded as just so-so if suggested by someone else are seen as 7 when proposed by these persons. And actions that might be considered risky if taken by others are seen as brave when carried out by these “chosen” men and women.
As you can see, halo effects carry high costs. They may lead some persons to have an 8 high opinion of their own worth, while making things 9 for others who are equally deserving. Further, by giving too much influence to persons who are not ready to receive it, and by preventing hidden talent from being 10 , they can harm organizations as well as individuals. Clearly, then, it is important to recognize the existence and impact of halo effects; only then can their harmful effects be avoided.

The requirements for high school graduation have just changed in my community. As a result, all students must 36 sixty hours of service learning, 37 they will not receive a diploma. Service learning is academic learning that also helps the community. 38 of service learning include cleaning up a polluted river, working in a soup kitchen, or tutoring a student. 39 a service experience, students must keep a journal（日志）and then write a 40 about what they have learned.
Supporters claim that there are many 41 of service learning. Perhaps most importantly, students are forced to think 42 their own interests and become 43 of the needs of others. Students are also able to learn real-life skills that 44 responsibility, problem-solving, and working as part of a team. 45 , students can explore possible careers 46 service learning.
For example, if a student wonders what teaching is like, he or she can choose to work in an elementary school classroom a few afternoons each month. 47 there are many benefits, opponents （反对者） 48 problems with the new requirement. First, they 49 that the main reason students go to school is to learn core subjects and skills. Because service learning is time-consuming, students spend 50 time studying the core subjects. Second, they believe that forcing students to work without 51 goes against the law. By requiring service, the school takes away an individual's freedom to choose.
In my view, service learning is a great way to 52 to the community, learn new skills, and explore different careers. 53 , I don' t believe you should force people to help others – the 54 to help must come from the heart. I think the best 55 is one that gives students choices: a student should be able to choose sixty hours of independent study or sixty hours of service. Choice encourages both freedom and responsibility, and as young adults, we must learn to handle both wisely.

Before her 21-year-old daughter died in an accident in early 2007, Pam Weiss had never logged on to Facebook, a social-networking site. At that time, social-networking sites were used almost only by 36 . But she knew her daughter Amy Woolington, a UCLA student, had a(n) 37 , so in her sadness Weiss turned to Facebook to look for photos. She found what she was looking for and more. She was soon communicating with her daughter’s many friends, 38 memories through passages that her daughter had written. “It makes me feel 39 that Amy had a positive effect on so many people, and I wouldn’t have had a clue if it hadn’t been 40 Facebook,” says Weiss.And she wouldn’t have had a 41 if she had waited too long.

As people spend more time at 43 , there’s less being stored away in dusty attics(阁楼).These pieces of our lives that we put online can feel as eternal as the Internet itself, but what happens to our 44 identity after we die?
