Do most men hate shopping with women? Forum (论坛)readers share their opinions.YinsXZ (US)Hey, that is an absolutely nice idea. I like it. It also makes it easier for women who have lots of bags to be able to drop them off at the nursery for boyfriends to watch over while they return to shop for more! Set it up with wifi too and you have a perfect hang out spot. And most importantly, don' t have to wait for complaints from the woman when I stop to look at computers or tools!SunnylinOl (China)Most women like shopping while most men don' t. Men generally don' t spend hours deciding color, comparison shopping or finding the sale prices. They know what they want,get in, buy them and get out, 10-15 minutes and they' re done. This is quite different from how a woman shops. Going from store to store, trying to find the best ones. The trying will spend hours.Seneca (a foreigner in China)Many women view shopping as an entertaining way to get down from high stress levels. My wife is one of those. Stress comes too naturally to her; driving a car, doing her job, dealing with workmates all lead to some rising of her stress level. So shopping ideally happens every day. For me, that amount of shopping is stressful.Blonde Amber (Ireland)Some men take hours comparing products, trying things out, finding sales prices. They don' t always know what they want but enjoy just looking. Men can shop the same as women for things they are interested in and spend hours doing it. Equally not all women like shopping and go in, 10-15 minutes and they are done. People are not black and white, and don' t fit into boxes.56.According to forum readers, which is Not the benefit of opening a u husband nursery" ?A.Men can escape the complaints from women.B.Women can enjoy shopping more with bags left in men' s care.C.Women can finish their shopping in a shorter time.D.Men can relax themselves when women are shopping.57.Which saying below can best describe SunnylinOl and Seneca' s opinion?A.One man' s meat is another man' s poison.B.Joy and sorrow are next-door neighbors.C. A good wife makes a good husband.D.Experience is the mother of wisdom.58.The underlined sentence in the last paragraph implies that .A.black people and white people are different in sizeB.people with different skins have different viewsC.people shouldn' t draw general conclusion blindlyD.shopping is not suitable for all kinds of people2、Driving Offence Points SystemWhat is Driving Offence Points System?After the introduction of this system, certain traffic offences will earn the driver points besides other punishment.

Just like the Internet was 10 years ago, blogging is popular with an underground culture that is doing it for love and passion.Blogging is a way of collecting links to webpages and sharing thoughts and ideas with people online. Blogs are basically online journals or diaries which are created for sharing information and ideas.Dominic, a fifth-grade student, writes: "The blogs give us a chance to communicate between ourselves and inspire us to write more. When we publish on our blog, people across the entire world can respond by using the 'comments' link. In this way, they canask questions or simply tell us what they like. We can then know if people like what we write and this indicates to us where we can improve. By reading these comments, we can discover our weaknesses and our strengths. Blogging is an opportunity to exchange our points of view with the rest of the world rather than just people in our immediate environment. ”Blogging is sweeping the Internet. A recent report noted that at least three million Americans have created blogs, with similar numbers being seen worldwide.Two years ago, Andrew Sullivan decided to set up a Web page himself and used "Blogger, com" to publish some daily musings （冥想）to a readership （读者人数）of a few hundred. He worked hard at the blog for months for no financial reward. But the result is that he is now reaching almost a quarter of a million readers a month and making a profit.Think about it for a minute: Why not build an online presence with your daily musings and then tell your first book through print-on-demand （POD） technology direct from your Web site? Why should writers go to newspapers and magazines to get an essay published when they can simply write it themselves, change it into a PDF file, and charge a few bucks per download?This, at least, is the idea: a publishing revolution more profound than anything since the printing press, ^Blogger, com" could be to words what Napster was to music一except this time, it' 11 really work.62.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A.Blogs are mainly online chatting with others.B.Blogging is important in the past few years.C.Dominic wants to get a chance to be a writer.D.Blogging makes us exchange our view only with friends63.According to the passage, about people worldwide have created blogs except Americans.A. 250, 000B. 750, 000C. 3 millionD. 6 million64.From the passage we can see that "Napster" in the last paragraph is probably related to .A. newspapersB. readersC. wordsD. music65.What would be the best title of this passage?A. What is BloggingB. Blog is Your FavoriteC. Blogging Goes Mainstream （主流）D. A Publishing Revolution4、If you took the strengths of others and compared them to your weaknesses, would this make you feel good? The funny thing is that this is what most of us do at one time or another一and some of us do it pretty often. It's a sure-fire recipe for a drop in self-confidence and for unhappiness. So how can we stop comparing ourselves with others? Here are some tips I've found useful.Awareness.Most often we do these social comparisons without realizing we're doing it. It's a natural act, I suppose. So the solution is to become aware. If you focus on these thoughts for a few days, it will become much easier with practice, and soon it'11 be hard not to notice.Stop yourself.Once you realize you，re making these comparisons, stop yourself. Don，t feel bad一just admit the thought, and gently change the focus.Count your blessings.Focus on what you do have, and on what you are already blessed with. Count what you have, not what you don，t have. Think about how lucky you are to have what you have, to have the people in your life who care about you. If you always want what others have, you will never have enough. You will always want more. That's an endless cycle, and it will never lead to happiness. Instead, learn to realize that what you have is already enough.Focus on your strengths.Instead of looking at your weaknesses, ask yourself what your strengths are. Be proud of them. Work on using them to your best advantage.No one is perfect一we all know that. But we seem to feel bad when we don，t reach perfection. You aren，t perfect and you never will be. Keep trying to improve, butdon，t think you，11 ever be the "perfect person”. If you realize that imperfection is what makes you who you are, you are already perfect.五、书面表达（共1题）1、随着高科技的发展，网络为越来越多的人所使用，不同的人有不同的看法，针对其利弊, 人们展开了激烈的讨论：With the rapid development of the Internet, it has been influencing our daily life tremendously.

The Internet has transformed our lives and the way we communicate, how we learn, and how we work. And people' s opinions vary in the light of its effects.Some people are convinced that the Internet plays an active role in our lives since we can benefit a lot from it. Firstly, it is more convenient than ever before for people to search for all sorts of information they need. Meanwhile, the Internet has greatly shortened the distance among human beings, and helps build social bonds between people. What, s more, people can turn to the Internet for help when they have problems.However, others assume that the Internet has a negative effect on people' s lives. Uncontrolled information on the Internet, such as crime and violence, may do great harm to teenagers. Addicted to paying computer games, some students feel worn out and absent-minded in class. What, s worse, not all the information on the Internet is accurate, which may lead to people being taken in by false information.From my perspective, Internet itself is neither right nor wrong. Only if we take theright attitude towards surfing the Internet can we benefit from it. Nobody can hold back the progress pace of the Internet. If we resisted it, we would certainly lag behind others. What we should do is to take full use of its advantages and try to avoid the harms it may bring as well.六、未分类1、c。

SSR programs can be offered at actually any grade level. However, it takes a great deal of time, effort, and know-how to put a successful SSR program into operation. I firstrecognized this when I was a high school teacher twenty years ago. Though some of my students were happy to be allowed to select and read books in class, many never truly dived into their reading. I knew that there must be ways to improve the implementation (实施) of my SSR program, but I wasn't sure what they were. Years later, when I returned to the University of Southern California, I began analyzing a large sample of SSR studies to determine what made them effective and found that successful programs shared five key factors: easy access to reading materials, sufficiently interesting materials, teachers' encouragement, follow-up activities and reading at least twice a week.In fact, only when teachers follow specific guidelines do these programs achieve their full potential. Having learned this, I decided to create an "ideal" SSR program for my students by employing the five factors above. At the same time, another high school in our district also made the decision to offer students SSR time each day. However, having no knowledge of the five factors, the teachers simply asked their students to "read anything for fifteen minutes".The result was that the students at my school outperformed (胜过) the other school in four areas: reading comprehension, positive attitudes toward reading, frequency of after-school pleasure reading, and use of a wider range of reading sources. I shared my findings with the other school's staff members. Since then, both schools have experienced the positive benefits of SSR.Today, I have given many lectures at a wide variety of schools where teachers are eager to learn "how-to" methods for developing programs that will motivate their students to become hooked on reading. They ask a variety of excellent questions andI have never been bored of answering them.4. What do we know about the SSR program from Paragraph 1？A. It's an after-class reading program.B. It suits students of all grade levels.C. It requires teachers to select books according to their interest.D. It's easy to conduct the SSR program successfully in practice.5. Years later the author's studies of SSR showed that ______.A. fifteen minutes' reading a week was enough.B. successful SSR programs relied on five key factors.C. easy reading materials made SSR programs effective.D. students' potential could be achieved through reading.6. The author's "ideal" SSR program helps his students perform better in ______.A. positive life attitudesB. great interest in studyingC. understanding abilities in readingD. owning wider studying sources7. The author writes the passage to ______.A. introduce his specific progress in studying SSRB. tell readers about his SSR teaching experienceC. talk about his confusion about teaching readingD. share the "how-to" of Sustained Silent ReadingCA 16-year-old boy wanted to throw a party for his birthday.He didn't ask for favors from his friends or themed decorations.Instead，he held the celebration on Roblox.On the digital platform，which allows users to play and create a multitude of games，the boy threw himself a party to which he invited not just friends from school and Twitter，but also fans of the game.For netizens，the idea of the "metaverse" — a sort of 3 D sequel （续篇）to today's 2 D internet，in which users work，play，buy and sell inside immersive virtual worlds — has become the Latest Next Big Thing.This is just the beginning，however.A fully-fledged metaverse will help revolutionize several key sectors such as business，education，and science.In China，for instance，Alibaba has built a VR shopping mall that specializes in helping both vendors and buyers to essentially "shop" inside an online virtual store.How a metaverse can be used in education？Teachers will be able to hold online classes in a virtual classroom，where students can discuss with each other using their avatars （化身）.Students will also no longer need to leave the house to visit museums around the world；they could simply walk into one in the metaverse instead.Finally，scientists will be able to explore and conduct experiments in a virtual lab，which is something that has never been done before.If the metaverse is essentially an extension of the Internet we currently have，one only has to think about the countless problems that we have yet to solve in our online existence — hacking，catfishing，harassment，hate speech — to see how truly dangerous a future on the metaverse could be.For now，though，everything is in the early stages.The evolution of the metaverse —if it happens at all — will be fought among tech giants for the next decade，or maybe even longer.8. Why does the author mention "a 16-year-old boy" in Paragraph 1？______A. To explain a rule.B. To clarify a concept.C. To present a fact.D. To make a prediction.9. What can people do in the metaverse？______A. Browse and buy goods in a physical store.B. Build a community in a 3 D environment.C. Explore and conduct experiments in a real lab.D. Communicate and interact with others face to face.10. What is the author's attitude to the metaverse？______A. Favourable.B. Intolerant.C. Objective.D. Pessimistic11. What can we know about the metaverse？______A. We have lived in the metaverse.B. The metaverse is the early stage of the Internet.C. The future of the metaverse is only dependent on tech giants.D. There is a long way to go before the metaverse becomes completely developed.DDrinking coffee as soon as one wakes up from a night's sleep greatly affects metabolism （新陈代谢）and blood sugar responses.Scientists published this in theBritish Journal of Nutrition.In the study,the UK researchers let 29 healthy men and women take part in three different overnight experiments.In the first two scenes,participants were given a sugary drink upon waking first from a normal night's sleep,and then again after a greatly disturbed night's sleep.In the third,their sleep was similar,but they were given a strong black coffee 30 minutes before having the sugary drink.Blood samples from participants were taken following the sugary drinking each experiment.Results showed that one night of disturbed sleep did not worsen the participants' blood sugar responses at breakfast when compared to a normal night of sleep.However,strong black coffee consumed before breakfast increased the blood sugar response by around 50 percent.By drinking such kind of drink after breakfast,UK researchers found that our bodies' ability to break down our food healthily is completely improved.Examining the effects of broken sleep and morning coffee through a range of different metabolic markers,researchers found that,while one night of poor sleep had a limited effect on metabolism,drinking coffee before breakfast could have a negative effect on blood sugar control."We know that nearly half of us will wake in the morning and,before doing anything else,drink coffee-the more tired we feel,the stronger the coffee is.This study is important and has far-reaching health influences,and it indeed shakes some coffee drinkers.Up to now we have had limited knowledge about what this is doing to our bodies,in particular for our metabolic and blood sugar control,so we have a long way to go. " said Professor James Bette,co-director of the Centre for Nutrition at the University of Bath.12. How did the UK researchers get the result of the experiment？______A. By theoretical analysis.B. By comparative experiments.C. By doing questionnaires.D. By consulting journals.13. What can we learn from the experiment？______A. A poor night sleep surely affects blood sugar responses.B. Drinking coffee after breakfast does much harm to health.C. Having strong drinks has a good effect on one's metabolism.D. Drinking coffee at different time has different effects on health.14. What does James Bette think of the study？______A. It makes no sense.B. It is limited and blind.C. It remains to be continued.D. It is particular and precise.15. What is the text mainly about？______A. Harms of drinking coffee before breakfast.B. What weakens ones' blood sugar responses.C. How much coffee one should drink a day.D. The effective procedure for blood sugar control.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共12.5分）Everyone has a name and it is said that the name is important for the whole life of the person.（1）______ There are some factors that should be considered.Other than the sex difference，the other significant difference of children's names isbetween modern and traditional names. （2）______ It has been used for quite a long time，like George or Elizabeth.A modern name is one that is usually made-up，which seems to be creative or meaningful，like Jayden or Dallas.（3）______ Many parents need their kids to have traditional names.Picking a traditional name has always been a protected decision for parents，because it is more normal and acknowledged as "would be expected" names.But one of the disadvantages is that traditional names are too normal and usually used by many people. （4）______ Modern names are more popular now than before.Many parents are making progress towards the uniqueness they want to bring to their kids.However，some parents don't care for the modern names because they are difficult to pronounce and surprisingly harder to spell. （5）______ It may take a long time to remember the modern name of a person.Picking a name for a child is parents' advantage and duty.Do try to pick a good name for your kid，which will influence him or her greatly.A.Choose a powerful name for your kid.B.A traditional name is one that is broadly known.C.It's also rather difficult to be remembered by others.D.A child may discover he's not the only "John" in a class.E.Naming a child actually depends on the parents' intention.F.Many children have childhood names given by their parents.G.Therefore，picking one name for a child is anything but simple.16.
