Have you heard about “Survival Holidays”？“Survival Holidays” is for children to go into the lonely place for exciting activities. Now about 1,100 companies are allowed to take children into the great outdoors without their parents.
The reason why people like “Survival Holidays” is that they think being close to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities spend all time watching TV and playing computer games. “Survival Holidays” gives them an important change.
Is “Survival Holidays” a wonderful idea? Maybe it is. Children need more free time to play. They need to be left on their own, without adults disturbing them. Parents care too much about their children. They like to see the children being busy with activities that are controlled by adults, which causes many problems. They don't know what to do when they are in danger. Even something like crossing a small river seems to be a hard challenge. Children are not comfortable with danger. Even slight danger like getting their feet wet or falling down seems very terrible to them.
Many people think the survival activities are good for children. Even years later, they will still remember what they have learned. Some have learned to stay calm in different times. Some have learned how to keep safe. Others have learned how to work in a team. All these skills will help them a lot in their lives.

Being able to multitask-- doing several things at the same time--is considered a welcome skill by most people. But if we consider the situation of the young people aged from eight to eighteen, we should think again.
What we often see nowadays is that young people juggle a larger number of electronic products as they study. While working, they also surf on the Internet, send out emails, answer the telephone and listen to music on their iPods. In a sense, they are spending a large amount of time in fruitless efforts as they multitask.
Multitasking is even changing the relationship between family members. As young people give so much attention to their own worlds, they seem to have no time to spend with the other people around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house, nor can they eat at the family table.
Multitasking also has an effect on young people's performance at university and in the workplace. When asked about their opinions of the effects of modern gadgets (器具) on their performance of tasks, many young people gave a positive (肯定的) answer. However, the response from the worlds of education and business was not quite as positive. Educators feel that multitasking by children has a serious effect on later development of study skills. They believe that many college students now need help to improve their study skills. Similarly, employers (雇主) feel that young people entering the job market need to be taught all over again, as modern gadgets have made it unnecessary for them to learn special skills to do their work.
【小題1】What does the underlined word "juggle" most probably mean?

A．Want to buy.
B．Use at the same time.
C．Take the place of.
D．Search information from.
【小題2】In Paragraph 3, the author points out that ________.
A．family members do not greet each other
B．family members do not eat at the family table
C．young people get on well with their families
D．young people hardly communicate with their family members
【小題3】What's the main idea of the last paragraph?
A．Young people must learn skills for future jobs.
B．Young people benefit (獲益) a lot from modern gadgets.
C．Multitasking is an important skill to young people.
D．Multitasking influences young people's development seriously.
【小題4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Young people think multitasking is good for their study and work.
B．Employers consider it unnecessary for young people to be taught all over again.
C．Educators feel that young people don't need to improve their study skills.
D．People from the world of education believe multitasking has a good effect on children's later study skills.
【小題5】The author develops (闡述) the passage mainly by ________.
A．providing special examples
B．following the natural time order
C．giving out a cause and analyzing (分析) its effects

Now scientists have discovered that the dogs behave like their masters, too. Just like children, they use a “ look and learn” ways when they go about their tasks.
Scientists at Oxford universities designed an experiment to test if the dogs have the ability to copy humans’ actions by using a simple wooden box. 10 owners showed their dogs how to open the wooden box .Sometimes they use their heads to push it and sometimes they use their hands.
10 dogs were divided into two groups---Group1 and Group2. In the first part of the test, Group1 were rewarded with a piece of meat for copying their owner’s actions. Group2 were rewarded with food for not copying and using other ways. With each dog the experiment was repeated hundreds of times. Scientists recorded the time to see which group was first to get 85% right. They found that Group1finished the task much sooner than Group2.
In the second part of the test, all the dogs were only rewarded for copying the way that their owners used. Group1 reached the 85% mark more quickly than Group2.
So the scientists draw a conclusion: “Like humans, dogs can copy actions that they see. Dogs’ imitative（仿效的）behavior is shaped more by their interactions（互動(dòng)）with humans than by evolution(進(jìn)化).”
Scientists said，“A dog’s behavior is influenced much like that of a child; they look and learn similar behavior. We hope that owners understand the importance of their actions and use this knowledge to set good examples and therefore have a good effect on the behavior of their pets.”
【小題1】The scientists believe dog’s imitative behavior mainly comes from______________.

A．proper rewardsB．domestication
C．human-dog interactionsD．evolution
【小題2】The best title may be “___________________”
A．Dogs can finish their tasks quickly.B．Dogs are interesting animals.
C．Masters always set good examples.D．Dogs behave like their masters.
【小題3】From the experiment, we know __________________.
A．It took the two groups of dogs the same time to finish the required task.
B．The dogs that copied their masters finished the required task much sooner.
C．The dogs that were encouraged to copy their masters finished the task more slowly..
D．The dogs that were encouraged not to copy their masters finished the task more quickly..
【小題4】According to the last paragraph, we can infer ______________.
A．a(chǎn) cruel man can raise a cruel dog
B．dogs can be influenced by anyone
C．dogs always behave positively
D．dogs are the best kind of pets

Today we can use the Internet for many things: shopping, business, writing letters, talking to people, getting information and so on. In recent years, a new kind of English has grown on the Internet. There's no real word for it yet, so we call it e-talk.
People don't like typing too much. To save time, they turn phrases into a few letters， acronyms(首字母縮略詞). Acronyms are often used in chat rooms. Some are as follows:
BRB (be right back), BTW (by the way), LOL (laughing out loud), IMO (in my opinion)
People also use many abbreviations. They are shortened forms of words. Some common abbreviations include info (information), pic (picture), puter (computer), sec (second), etc.
We usually don't see people when we communicate on the Net, so people have new ways to show feelings. Most people use their keyboards to draw "feelings", such as:
:-)  (happy)     ;-)  (joking)       :-(  (sad)        :-O  (surprised)
These days, many public discussions have picture feelings, for example:
    
(happy)           (sad)            (angry)           ( (cool)
There are even whole new words, like "newbies"(someone who is new on a chat board or forum). When you write something bad about someone else, it's called "burning" the person.
It takes time for people to get used to e-talk. Also, different groups on the Net have their own special ways of communicating. Newbies sometimes have to ask other people what they mean. As the Internet grows, e-talk will continue to grow and change.
【小題1】Why do people type acronyms?

A．To type them quickly.B．To make jokes.
C．To make newbies puzzled.D．To show their feelings.
【小題2】What does the sentence “BTW, my puter is not working well. :-( ”mean?
A．The person is happy about getting a new computer.
B．The person has to go away from their computer.
C．The person is sad that his computer is having problems.
D．The person is angry at somebody.
【小題3】If someone is angry, what may he type?
A.   LOL      B. BRB.               C.   D.
【小題4】E-talk will probably____________.
A．stay the same
B．keep changing
C．be used by people on the telephone
D．be easy for newbies to understand
