填空题Maguet de Icaza: Free software benefits people, countries and companies by giving them complete control of the software on which they depend. This is helping close the digital divide between developed and underdeveloped countries. People who previously might never have had access to this sort of technology are already leading the efforts to bring it to the developing world. Free software is the foundation on which a fairer future and a more efficient economy is being built.Austin Hill: Welcome to the future. Your mobile phone tracks your location, your interactive TV records your viewing habits. Privacy is to the information age what environmentalism was to the industrial age. Businesses will protect themselves, and their customers, by introducing privacy-promoting technologies and building better data controls into every aspect of their operation. A leading class of privacy protectors will emerge in every industry, and both they and their customers will reap the rewards of the ethical privacy brand.Ng Ede Phang: This will be the year that plain old text e-mail sits up and starts talking--and talking a lot. The human voice is a powerful weapon. An e-mail doesn't tell me whether you're happy, sad or excited, whereas Internet voice services provide all these key emotional characteristics. The human voice adds a very powerful element to business relationships that e-mail just cannot match.Murray Goldman: For those of us who live on airplanes, a key decision is which electronic devices to carry on a trip. The future is in the appropriate combination of communications and computing devices. Many business travelers will require the full computing power of a personal computer, with a screen large enough to do intensive work. As a result, lightweight notebooks have been introduced to the market with innovative options such as built-in DVDs, cameras and wireless capabilities.Christine Karman: We'll see agents on portals and community websites helping people trade goods and information. Venture capitalists are shifting from dotcoms to software and hardware companies. In Europe, that shift is hard to make because we don't have a Silicon Valley from which lots of companies are conquering the world. As a consequence, the slowly emerging Internet and software industry in Europe may not survive. If I were starting a new software company now, I'd go to California or Boston. Now match each of the people (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.Statements[A] Business travelers will set the trend of future computer market.[B] Europe will catch up with America in the high-tech industry.[C] Free software helps bring about digital equality.[D] Voice e-mail adds a human touch to online communication.[E] Compactness and multi-function will be a trend in the future market.[F] Privacy needs special protection in the information age.[G] The digital divide between Europe and the U.S. may widen.

填空题 {{B}}Kenneth:{{/B}} Is this saying really true? I have experienced much pain, sadness and sufferings before I find true happiness. I believe it's true that we have to go through pain and suffering to be happy. I think everybody would agree that if we want something, we have to work for it. It feels good to look back at the things you've gone through when you finally got what you wanted. If we worked hard and achieve something, we feel happy.{{B}}Andrea:{{/B}} Happiness for me is when I feel loved by those I love.., there arc a few persons who can make me feel high for days when they tell me sweet words, compliments, etc.., or just show they care about me as much as I do about them. Happiness is also when I don't worry, when I know that the persons I love are alive, healthy and ok. And it is when I have hope about something I wish to come true.., hope is important.{{B}}Thomas:{{/B}} In a world like this, where there is no kind of' stability, no possibility of anything lasting, but where everything is thrown into a restless whirlpool of change, where everything hurries on, flies, and is maintained in the balance by a continual advancing and moving, it is impossible to imagine happiness. It cannot dwell where, as Plato says, continual Becoming and never Being is all that takes place.{{B}}Robinson:{{/B}} I believe and agree that happiness is based on disposition on the position, it's internally based not external. It's how you look up on things, not how things is working on for you. Happiness is a gift, you must accept to receive it.

填空题Caroline Hartman: Thanks for the terrific article on U2' s Bono and his efforts to save Africa from financial ruin. He' s not a saint. He is a hard-working, real man, using his gifts to inspire us in song and make a difference in the world. Some issues are so serious that most of us don' t even try to fix them. Bo no can' t save the world by himself, but like others who have shown the way, such as Martin Lu flier King, Jr. and Mohandas Gandhi, he is proving that one man can make a difference. Molly Leuschel: Bono may be smarter, better informed and more committed than other stars, but Africa' s problems are larger than his ambition. After living in Africa nearly six years, I returned to the U. S. with more questions than answers. Debt relief is a noble idea, but most foreign aid does little to enrich the life of the average African. Amanda Adichie: I am a 24-year-old Nigerian and have often viewed stars' "concern" for Africa with resentment. My reaction to Bono was different: I was impressed. He is right in recommending not only debt relief but the lowering of trade restrictions on African countries, What Africa needs is not gifts of fish but fair access to the fishing pond. Malini Ranganathan: Your story on the smartest superstar on the planet was brilliant. I felt like I was right there with him, there to nod my head in approval and to believe in the potential of his African-debt-relief campaign, there to appreciate the peculiar, stubborn, witty and human sides to a guy who seems too famous to be real. Hats off to you for capturing these features so aptly and for making Bono' s personality so real, his cause so true. Lynne Pereira: I loved your article on Bono, but why the annoying wording on your cover: "Don' t laugh-- the planet's biggest rock star is on a mission to make a difference"? Who would want to laugh? Bono has proved that he' s willing and able to do what plenty of world leaders can' t or won' t do: put his money where his mouth is and make a difference. StatementsA. Competition on an equal footing is vital to Africa.B. Bono should save himself from himself.C. One man' s power, though limited, is significant.D. Africa' s problems are insolvable.E. You have presented a real image of Bono.F. Africa is faced with other issues besides debts.G. Bono' s cause is a serious business.

填空题Lucy: As the mother of two girls, I was moved to tears by your article, because it echoed so many of my own feelings. I don"t think I should feel ashamed or that I am failing my child in any way because I feel like this. I think it"s really normal and I love the way you have put into words what so many mums feel at this stage in their lives. Anna: My husband and I both read this article and we think it is moving, thoughtful, and the ending is wonderful. People cannot deny that jealousy is a natural emotion between children and parents. It is wonderful to see someone emotionally mature enough to be so aware of their own feelings, and celebrate them. You have written what I am sure most mothers feel, but are too scared to admit. Beth: There is some form of jealousy between mother and daughter. I remember suspecting that my mother was jealous of me but kept it under wraps. I understood that my mother was not happy with my father and the good relationship between me and him. The strange thing is years later, my own daughter and her father have a good relationship with each other and I can feel jealousy creeping in... Clare: When I realized my daughter had become a young woman, I was not jealous. At first I felt sad that I had lost my little girl, then I accepted this and rejoiced in her loveliness. I feel protective towards her because it is too natural for young girls to meet men. Offer your child advice on things like wearing fancy clothes which men do see as charming, and hope that she enjoys her life. Ruth: I think that a mature person judges herself based on her own qualities. A loving mother does not compare herself to her children and advertise her unhealthy thoughts to the world in a newspaper. I am surrounded all day at work by hot, smart young undergraduates, many of whom are hotter and smarter than I was at their age. When they succeed socially and academically, I feel happy for them. Now match the name of each person to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements A. You have spoken out the true feelings of mothers like me. B. It is helpful for mothers to reveal their hidden feelings. C. Emotionally mature mothers understand their daughters. D. I understand my mother now, being a mother myself. E. You have expressed what most mothers feel but dare not say. F. Do your duty as a mother and hope for the best for your daughter. G. A mother should not envy her children and make public her improper feelings.

填空题Tom saw his best friend at the party when it was 8 o’clock． →Tom______see his best friend______it was 8 o’clock．

填空题Glynis Davis: A childlike curiosity about the world would definitely prevent you from being childish. This is especially important when we gradually get used to being told about a lot of "truths" in our life. We hear them, and we accept them without any critical thinking. Even for something others assume to be obvious, questioning is also strongly recommended.Roz Juma: It's not easy for us to find something that we really wants to do, something that we would like to continue even when it is not paid by anyone else. When this happens, it means we have found something that truly interests us, and we definitely should not allow this interest to flee away from us. Faced with this feeling, we have no better choice but to make up our minds and do it.Lesley Godwin: Strive to think outside accepted principles and habitual perspectives such as "We've always done it that way." Just because everyone else is doing it that way, does not make it the right way to do it. Following others' way of doing things seem to make everything so easy, but it may cost us more time or energy when it is the best way.Ros Langford: Take the time to daydream and ponder, because that is often when the best ideas arise. Look for ways to relax and consciously put them into practice. All work and no play make Jack a dull boy. If we get stuck in thinking something for a long time, maybe a good sleep or activities such as swimming, tennis or anything you like would help you find the way out.Julia Minifie: Debate, if managed in a calm and friendly way, can really give us a lot new thoughts, in a fairly short time. When we always feel we are right, it will prevent us from getting in touch with new thoughts. No matter we agree with these opposing opinions or not, we can benefit from them. After you experience this, you will find it really thought-provoking and mind-exploring. Now match each of the expert (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.A. A friendly relationship with those around us is beneficial for a creative-mind.B. Relaxation can sometimes help us think better.C. As soon as a spark of interest arises in something, follow it.D. Try to retain a spirit of discovery.E. We should concentrate what we are doing, daydreaming and pondering is not allowed.F. Communication with those holding opposite opinions can help create new ideas.G. Intellectual courage is something that would help us get creativ

填空题Directions: Read the following texts in which five people wrote about being a vegetarian. For questions 61-65, match the name of each person (61-65) to one of the statements (A-G) given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Laurie: It is encouraging to see that, whether out of sympathy for animals or a concern for their own health or both, people are starting to realize that it does not pay to eat too far up on the food chain. Meat need not be what is for dinner. Factory fanning is barbaric and creel. Every person who reduces the use of animals in his life is performing a lifesaving act. Jeff: I am ready to be a vegetarian, but in our country, farmers, food producers, restaurants and supermarkets are not prepared to support me. We all know that it is much easier and less expensive to get a hamburger at McDonald's or Chinese takeout or a roast chicken from the supermarket than it is to take the time to shop for, assemble and cook a tasty, nutritious and fulfilling vegetarian meal. Rod: I've heard another term for vegetarians: beady-eyed vegetarians. They'll eat things with beady eyes (fish, chicken) but not with big, sad eyes (cows, lambs). A friend of mine explained it by saying he would eat only things he thought he could kill himself. He figures he can kill a fish but not a cow. That seems like a more honest and consistent rationale than some of the others I've heard. Jerry: As a moral vegetarian, I have found that there is great misunderstanding about vegetarian principles in our society. While some vegetarians keep off animals as a matter of health, we moral vegetarians don't want other animals to live for us, nor do we want other animals to die for us, as they do for food, clothing and wasteful scientific research. All animals live for their own sake, not for mine. Ellen: Why do some people think that animals and human beings are the same? In my opinion, a human life is worth a lot more than an animal's. I think that we must stop thinking of meat eaters as killers. Vegetarians also kill vegetable life. Is there any difference? Eat vegetables and meat; both help you to be healthy and allow you to have all the nutrients your bodies need. Statements A. All animals have the right to live for themselves. B. Some vegetarians in fact eat small-sized animals. C. Vegetarians need to do more to save animals' lives. D. Some people have overstressed the rights of animals. E. Vegetarians should be consistent in their eating habits. F. How can I become a vegetarian without a favorable environment? G. Eating less meat saves not only the life of animals but also that of your own.

填空题Paula:　　The future will not determine itself. The future is determined by the actions of the present day.　　The responsibility we have for the future begins when we recognize that we ourselves create the future -- that the future is not something imposed upon us by fate or other forces beyond our control. We ourselves build the future both through what we do and what we do not do.　　Mrs. John:　　The future will see more unbelievable things. In the future, People will be able to predict their performance from the strength of the brain' s electrical activity. Doctor Kramer has found that the strength of the brain' s electrical activity can be measured through the scalp. Bosses could measure brain activity through the scalp and tell whether a worker is performing well, working hard, or too tired to do the job properly.　　Mary:　　In the new century, things around us will be more fascinating. The chemical gelatin in the brain is said to increase your desire for fat, when is stimulated. This means that disturbances of this chemical gelatin can lead to overeating. Doctor Sarah Leibowits presented an academic paper suggesting that the appetite for fatrich food can be controlled through drugs that block the effects of gelatin.　　Judy:　　In the future our life will change dramatically. It is quite certain that computers will play important part in our life. You will visit your doctor, and find that he uses a computer screen andvisual information about your condition, instead of his text books, computers in your home will enable you to answer interactive questions about your health and show the alternative results which will affect you if you act in a certain way.　　Carrie:　　In the future, computers will change the way the doctors diagnose and treat their patients. Also doctors will change their traditional notion of medicine. Although pills for tension, heart conditions, being overweight and other life-threatening conditions are prescribed by western doctors, most doctors now require patients to focus on healthy way of living by changing diets and using more exercise as a means to keep well.　　　　　　　　　　　StatementsA. You build your own future.B. Healthy lifestyles will be a more popular way to keep fit.C. Computer will be an effective tool for doctors.D. Doctors may not need pills for heart troubles or overweightE. Your brain waves may be used to check out your work performance.F. People will be able to visit doctors more frequently.G. Our appetite will be well controlled by drugs.

填空题Peter: If you smoke and you still don't believe that there's a definite link between smoking and bronchial(支气管的) troubles, heart disease and lung cancer, then you are certainly deceiving yourself. Just have a look at those people in hospital with these diseases and count how many of them do not smoke; you may be surprised at the number. Even these few people might be passive smokers without realizing it.Rain: Tobacco is a wonderful commodity to tax. It's almost like a tax on our daily bread. In tax revenue alone, the government of Britain collects enough from smokers to pay for its entire educational facilities. So while the authorities point out ever so carefully that smoking may be harmful, it does not shout too loudly about it.Simon: The advertising of tobacco is one of the problems. We are never shown pictures of real smokers coughing early in the morning. That would never do. The advertisements always depict handsome, clean-shaven young men, they suggest it is manly to smoke, even positively healthy ! Smoking is associated with the great open-air life, with beautiful girls, true love and togetherness. What utter nonsense !Ross: Of course tobacco can help government to raise money. However, while money is eagerly collected in vast sums with one hand, it is paid out in increasingly vaster sums with the other. Enormous amounts are spend on cancer research or on efforts to cure people suffering from the disease. Countless valuable lives are lost. In the long run, there is no doubt that everybody would be much better off if smoking were banned together.Ben: Smoking. can provide constant consolation (安慰). When I feel worried or nervous, I just get a cigarette and everything is deemed to get right. After a day's hard work, the thing I want to do most is smoking. It can be even better with a cup of coffee. It's so enjoyable and relaxing that it relieves stresses of everyday life. So why bother to ban it and take the pleasure away from us? Now match each of the items (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: There are two extra statements. Statements[A] Smoking brings many psychological benefits.[B] Tobacco is an important source of income to the. government.[C] Smoking is sure to cause disease.[D] It's a shortsighted policy to depend on tobacco for money.[E] The advertising for it is dishonest and harmful.[F] The tobacco industry makes high quality advertisement for smoking.[G] It's doubtful whether there is link between smoking and cancer.

填空题Louisa: To me, work is first and my child is second. I work more for myself than for my child because it"s the only way to be economically independent. Otherwise I may some day lose everything, even my child. I can give everything for the sake of my daughter but never at the cost of my career. Only after I achieve value through work can it be possible for me to raise my baby. I resumed working after a short maternity (产妇的) leave. Now my daughter goes to kindergarten while I am at work. I think that is her first step into society. Marina: Nowadays, economic independence is particularly important to women. The only way to realize self-value is through work. I believe women should first live as a social entity (实体), then as a mother. And there are facts to show that women are not inferior to men in the working world. Child is just another part of my life, it would be impossible to make her my whole life. I think I will also get a nanny (保姆) to lend me a hand. Ross: When women make their career as their final pursuit, I think they lose their natural maternal instincts. I hope my wife will put most of her energy and time on child care and family. Because she gives birth to the child, she can do a much better job than the father in understanding the child. The mother should be the main educator while father works as her assistant. Anita: Women are naturally fit for human reproduction while men are meant for material production. Married women must assume the role of full-time mothers if their financial situation permits it, and a woman"s value is only realized after she has successfully raised her child. Chandler: Although we may say women"s talents lie in being mothers, we should admit that women do not sacrifice their families for work and they are not expected to give up a chance for a career because of their family. Both parents need to balance the responsibilities of family and work. After all women are equal members of society and have value in all social fields. Now match each of the items (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: There are two extra statements. Statements A．My work is the focus of my life. B．Family and work are both important for women. C．Men and women should bear the same responsibility in family and work. D．I would give up the whole world for my work. E．Women need work to prove their own value. F．Women are born to be mothers. G．Women understand the child better than men.

填空题John McEnroe: I have been using the Internet since the late 80's when the Internet was called ARPANET and this is the first year I actually did some Christmas shopping on the Internet. I could not find several items for my child's Christmas gifts so I decided to look online. Normally when I shop in real stores I go in, find what I want and get out (my wife hates this because she wants to look at EVERYTHING). The Internet allows you to go shopping without any fuss or having to wait in line. John Starks: You never know if they are chatting with a kidnapping pervert, seeing pornography, downloading illegal files or viruses and other bad software. Of course I have Net Nanny installed on my child's computer, it isn't perfect but it is a good piece of software and with a little tweaking blocks 99.8% of harmful content. We do not allow our child to use Instant Messaging or other programs. Ibrahim Ba: There also several devious online advertisers that use software to force you to see what they want you to see, the software is often hidden in a download or "free" software. I wrote an article on this several months ago. It has some great information on how to protect yourself from these malicious media companies and how to find out if something is installed on your computer and what to do to get rid of it. If only congress would enact tough anti-spam laws and laws to protect the consumer from malicious media companies who install software on your computer and make changes to your property (computer) without your permission. Elena Piskun: The article goes on to say that the Internet is also causing us to sleep less (by 8.5 minutes) and that it reduces contact with family members by 23.5 minutes per day. The researchers acknowledged that they cannot answer the question of whether or not it strengthens or weakens social relationships. That's been a burning question since the rise of the Internet, and many tons of paper was wasted in the mid and late nineties to print handwriting articles about how the Internet would probably turn us all into introverted, pale-faced geeks sitting in our basements in the dark night after night, hanging out in seedy chat rooms. Ivan Ivankov:Ten years later, we've gone from a tiny number of people who had Internet access back then to 75% of the country—that's the fastest diffusion of a new technology ever. We're on to something here, and I believe it's mostly for the good. We're more aware of world events, better informed on local, national, and international issues, have more control over our time, and have all kinds of new business and work opportunities available to us.Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements[A] We can listen to music, watch movies, and read books online.[B] Viruses and malicious software that affect our home and business computers.[C] Parents often worry about their children being on the Internet unsupervised.[D] The Internet allows you shop from home without leaving your chair.[E] Whether or not the Internet is causing us to sleep less or it reduces contact with family members is inconclusive.[F] The Internet can provide consumer information on products you are thinking of buying.[G] The Internet can provide various information and opportunities for us.
