However, a recent study has shown that under 20% of business owners would be willing to upgrade to the new version of Windows. The reason for this remains to be discussed and debated, and we will try tothrow light on this research by providing you with some of the most common advantages and disadvantages of Windows 8.Generally speaking, there are a great number of plus sides related to upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 8.Speed—This is the biggest advantage to mention. Boot time has been reported to be up to nine times shorter than that with Windows 7.New passwords—Instead of typing your passwords, Windows 8 will let you use gestures on your favorite photos to enter your password. This is not only practical but also extremely cool!Windows 8 experience—Apart from computers, Windows 8 will be used on all devices, including smart phones, tablet PC's and so on. Also, owing to the fact that it has been specifically designed with touch screen users in mind, Windows 8, besides using keyboard and mouse, will offer a whole new user experience.However, there are still some disadvantages.The first one that has to be mentioned is that there is no Start Menu from Windows. Yes, there is no Start button in the lower left corner, and this might be a real puzzle of many Windows users. Also, many users have had a problem to get used to the new interface(界面)introduced by Windows 8.The biggest problem that is worth noticing is that Windows 8 was originally designed for touch screen users, and this may have a bad effect on desktop users who have gotten used to doing everything with the help of their keyboard and mouse.6．According to the text the greatest advantage of Windows 8 is its ________.A. complex passwordsB. high speedC. unique experienceD. new interface7．From the text we can learn that Windows 8 ________.A. no longer requires a passwordB. was upgraded from Windows 95C. will be popular with desktop usersD. can be used on more than computers8．Many Windows 8 users face the problem that ________.A. Start Menu is hidden in the lower left cornerB. they have to use fingerprints instead of buttonC. keyboard and mouse can't be used any longerD. they don't get accustomed to the new interfaceCHybrid cars (混合动力车) are cars that run on petrol and electricity. They have a small standard petrol engine and a battery (电池) electric motor to provide electric power.There are some differences between different models of hybrid cars, but the general principle is that the car runs on petrol, and the electric motor kicks in when additional power is required, for example, when going uphill or accelerating. In some hybrid cars the petrol engine turns itself off when not needed, for example when the car has stopped at traffic light, keeping only the electric engine running.Conventional cars have large engines to deal with driving uphill and accelerating. Hybrid cars have much smaller petrol engines, improved by electric motors when needed, so they use less petrol. Another way that fuel consumption is cut is by a system of “regenerative (再生的) braking”. The electric motor is used to slow down the car, rather than conventional brakes. The energy produced by slowing the car is changed into electrical power, which is automatically stored in the battery. In effect, the battery recharges when you brake. In conventional cars the energy produced when braking is wasted.In 1928 Ferdinand Porsche built an experimental hybrid car. The first mass­produced hybrid car, the Toyota Prius, came out in Japan at the end of 1997. However, hybrid cars became available in the USA only in 1999. As they use less fuel, hybrid cars are cheaper to run. There are also many voices in place to encourage people to buy them. In somecountries, hybrid car owners pay a lower rate of tax, and don't haveto pay on certain roads. In some cities, hybrid cars are allowedto park for free.9．Hybrid cars consume less energy than conventional carsbecause hybrid cars ________.A. have large engines to deal with acceleratingB. have conventional brakes to slow down the carC. have electric power to assist when neededD. have no energy consumption when stopping10．In regenerative braking, ________.A. energy wasted in conventional cars is stored in the batteryB. the conventional brakes are used to slow down the carC. the battery charges itself when the car is acceleratingD. the petrol engine is usually turned off automatically11．From the last paragraph we can learn that hybrid cars ________.A. were first available in the USAB. will gain more popularityC. free their owners from taxD. are free to park anywhere in the city12．The main purpose of this text is to ________.A. show how hybrid cars slow downB. encourage people to buy hybrid carsC. inform people of a kind of energy­savin g carsD.explain why hybrid cars use less energyD()—Has your child read any good books lately? Encouraging reading is oneway parents can help their children succeed academically and develop an enjoyable and positive habit.“Children who have reading problems can perform poorly in school, finding it harder to master increasingly difficult subjects. So it's very important to promote a love of books at an early age—and you can start a lot earlier than you might even imagine，” said Bever ly Ellman, a readingand writing specialist.Children learn to read at different ages. Some can read a simple book by age 2 while others struggle into grade school.Here are a few tips roughly broken down into age groups; you can adapt them to your own child's abilities：Birth to age 3Even a 6­month­old baby can enjoy sitting on your lap and looking at picture books without words. Parents can describe the pictures as they turn the pages. Be sure books are tough enoughto withstand tugging, pulling and throwing.Establish a time of day when you read to your children.Talking helps develop reading ability. Talk with your child all day using short, simple sentences. If your native language is not English, talk to your child in your native language anyway. Practicing their first language will help them practice English.Let your children see you read. Children love to imitate their parents.Ages 3 to 5·Introduce your child to books with poems and silly rhymes, which children love to repeat. Children have a great sense of the absurd, so rhyming books such as those by Shel Silverstein can improve their language ability and tickle their funny bone.·Take your child to the library to get his or her own library card. Let her choose her own books within reason.·Choosing a book makes reading it extra special, because the books a child chooses reflecther special interests.·Give your children boo ks as gifts. Share your favorites from when you were their age.·Set up a reading area in your home where children can easily reach their books.·Restrict the time your children watch television and limit their viewing to educational programs that teach reading basics.13.
