AA “Gap Year” is a period of time when a student takes a break b efore going to university. It is often spent travelling or working. It can give young people useful learning experiences and new skills.Gap years are popular with European and Australian students, but remain less popular in America. However, in recent years, more and more American students are preparing for college by taking a gap year. The advantages of taking a gap year are as follows：Learn about the World and YourselfAlthough you don’t have to go abroad to experience gap years, most gap year students catch the chance to travel abroad. You are able to work out who you are and what you are for. The experiences of different culturesoffer you interesting lessons. You can learn more about the world and get to know yourself better.Face Challenges and Have FunA gap year is not only a time to take a vacation, but also a time to face challenges. Gap year students usually work, volunteer or take service projects. You have to learn how to get along in the real world. This process isn’ t always easy, but it is a n important part of growing up. Only in this way can you enjoy life and have fun.Save Money and Improve Your College Admission ChancesThere’s a common thought that gap years are only for rich students, but it’ s not true. Actually, taking a gap year can save your money. Gap year students often take a part-time job. Besides, at the end of a gap year, students are much more likely to know what to study in college. Clear learning goals ran keep the students working hard instead of wasting time and money playing.Imagine an admission officer trying to admit (录取) only one between two students.

Who do you think the admission officer will choose?21“Gap Year” means ________ in the passage.A. going abroad in a year for further educationB. travelling around the world in a yearC. taking a break before going to a universityD. doing a part-time job to make money during a vacation22Besides having fun, gap year students have to face the .A. moneyB. informationC. vacationsD. challenges23Having a gap year may make you _______ .A. become very richB. remain less popularC. experience foreign culturesD. have no chance to break24The last sentence implies(暗含) that ______ will probably be admitted by the admission officer.A. either of the two studentsB. the student with high gradesC. neither of the two studentsD. the .student with a gap year experienceBC an you remember the first time you learned to ride a bike or drive a car? Learning these skills changed your life forever and opened up new horizons. Learning about computers can be like learning how to ride a bike or drive a car. Once you have invested the time to master the skills, you will never go back to the old days. The new technology is simply too convenient and too powerful.Technological developments through the years have enabled us to do more with less effort. We have continuously looked for better ways of doing things. Each invention and new development has allowed us toextend our capabilities. Today we see one of the most dramatic technologies ever developed—the computer. It extends the capabilities of our minds.Computers have saved organizations millions of dollars. Furthermore, these same computer systems have opened up new opportunities that would have gone undiscovered or neglected. The computer may multiply what we can do, and the return on investment is high. The growth of computer usage is surprising. On the other hand, the computer can do serious damage. Invasion of privacy(侵犯隐私), fraud(欺诈), and computer-related mistakes are just a few shocking examples.The computer is like a double-edged sword. It has the ability to cut us free from some activities, but it can also cut deep into profits, personal privacy, and our society in general. How it is used is not a function of technology. It is strictly a function of how people decide to use or misuse this new technology. The choice is yours, and only through a knowledge of computer systems will you be able to avoid the dangers while enjoying the many, many benefits of the computer age.25.

The first are those that give a personal, subjective(主观的) idea of travels which their writer has got himself. These books can be useful if the writers share their traveling experiences with others. The second kind are those books which give objective(客观的) information of things to be done and seen. If a cultured person has written such a book about the facts of a place, then it is more useful. The third kind are those books which are called “a guide” to some place or other. If they are good, they will describe and explain the place in detail. Like the first kind , they can be interesting and exciting, but theirmain purpose is to help the reader plan his travel in the most practical way. Whatever kind of travel book you choose, you must make sure that the book does not describe everything as interesting, exciting or fantastic.
