In the past if you were determined to learn, you might have called friends or relatives, taken a night class or walked down to the local library for a research term. But now a host of websites are springing up to provide free practical advice on these subjects and actually anything else you can think of. In one sense, these “how-to” sites represent a part of the growing world of online learning. These FAQs (Frequent Answers and Questions), many of which still circulate (循环), took a special subject and explained it to complete novices. But, …how-to” sites take the FAQ idea in a somewhat different direction by addressing subjects that aren‟t necessarily associated with discussion forums (论坛).These sites take the style of a written tutorial and a tone of friendly advice. Possibly the biggest and best known of these sites is learn（www. learn2. come）It offers nearly 1, 000 free tutorials and adds new ones frequently for a job interview.

Long ago, in days of the Roman Empire, people used to believe a god of farming called “Saturn”. They believed that Saturn could make the weather good or bad, and that he had the power to control how much rain would fall.Before a Roman farmer would plant his fields, he would try to get Saturn to give him good weather. He believed that if he killed an animal for Saturn, he would make Saturn happy. Then Saturn would make sure that the weather was good.Not only did the people name a planet after Saturn but they also name a day of the week after him. They called this day “Saturn dies”, Latin words which mean “day of Saturn”. In English tho se words became Saturday.(1). What was Saturn believed to be in charge of?A. Rainfall.B.

The schools and the educators made it easy for us. They taught that it was all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators, turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation.Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizing we‟ve made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Klompus who says of her students—“so passive”—and wonders what has happened. Nothing is demanded of them, she believes. Television, says Klompus, contributes to children‟s passivity. “We‟re talking about a generation of kids who‟ve never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them, instead of saying …go and look it up‟, you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say no to a kid.”Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. It‟s time for parents to end their vacation and come back t o work. It‟ s time to take the car away, to turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but it‟ s for their own good. It‟s s time to start telling them no again.(1). Children are becoming more inactive in study because .A. they watch TV too oftenB. they have done too much homeworkC. they have to fulfill too many dutiesD. teachers are too strict with them标准答案A(2). We learn from the passage that the author‟s mother used to lay emphasis on .A. learning LatinB. disciplineC. natural developmentD. education at school(3). By” permissive period in education” (Para.2) the author means a time .A. when children are allowed to do what they wish toB. when everything can be taught at schoolC. when every child can be educatedD. when children are permitted to receive education标准答案A(4). From this passage we can conclude the following facts except that .A. the author has learned Latin beforeB. the author disagrees with the let-alone policy of parentsC. the children become more and more passive todayD. parents should not say no to their children标准答案D(5). What is the main idea of the passage?A. Parents should leave their children alone.B. Kids should have more activities at school.C. It‟s time to be stricter with our kids.D. Parents should always set a good example to their kids.标准答案C5. Even if you are a good high-jumper, you can jump only about seven feet off the ground. You cannot jump any higher because the earth pulls you hard. The pull of the earth is called gravity.You can easily find out the pull of the earth. If you weigh yourself, you will know how much gravity is pulling you.Since there is gravity, water runs down hill. When you throw a ball into the air, it falls back down. Because of gravity, you do not fall off the earth as it whirls (旋转) around.Then, can we get away from the earth and go far out into space? Now you can do it, because spaceships have been invented. Then spaceship will go so fast that it can escape the earth‟s gravity and carry you into space.(1). In this passage, the word “gravity” means .A. the pull of everything.B. the force of attraction (吸引) among objects.C. the force which attracts objects towards the centre of the earthD. the force which attracts the earth towards the sun.标准答案C(2).

It isn‟t that expensive, especially when you call during the evening, night, or weekend hours. In fact, you can make a ten-minute call anywhere in the continental United States for just $2.60.For even greater saving, always dial direct, that is, without an operator‟s help. Rates (资;费) on direct c alls are lower after five o‟clock in the evening and lowest after eleven o‟clock at night. Collect, person-to-person, and pay phone calls require the services of an operator, and they cost more than direct calls.Need to call out of the country? Now calls to many overseas places may be dialed direct. Check your telephone direction for overseas area codes.Next time you have good news, or you just want to stay in touch, remember, a phone call means so much more than a letter.
