So why has English changed over time?     all languages change and develop when cultures meet and       with each other. At first the English spoken in England between about AD 450 and 1150 was very different from the English     today. It was based more on German than the English we speak at present. Then    between about AD 800 and 1150, English became       like German because those who ruled England spoke first      and later French. These new settlers     the English language and especially its     . So by the 1600's Shakespeare was able to make use of a wider vocabulary than ever before. In 1620 some British      moved to America. Later in the 18th century some British people were taken to      too. English began to be spoken in both countries.

Teens who become addicted to their cell phones may be placing their health at risk by harming their ability to sleep well，a new Swedish study suggests.

"The message is that teenagers who use their cell phones excessively are much more stressed, much more restless, much more tired, and have a great tendency to develop sleep deprivation(剥夺) as a result of their calling habits, " said the study author Dr. Gaby Bader.

He focused on the experiences of 21 healthy Swedish boys and girls between the ages of 14 and 20. The teens kept what the authors described as "regular working/studying hours" and were not previously diagnosed with any particular sleep irregularity．

He observed that the above-15 call group kept more irregular sleeping hours than the lower-use group，had more difficulty falling asleep，more difficulty waking up，and experienced more sleep disruptions（扰乱）．

Bader said that among young people，a relatively recent technological invention like the cell phone has quickly become existed nearly everywhere，giving rise to considerable pressure to keep in touch. And this pressure can develop into an addiction，with serious negative results for teenager health.

"We see more and more people--especially the young generation-- who grew up with these kinds of items and gadgets in their hands," Bader said. "And they become dependent on the technology. So，we have to teach young people to be structured. To know when to have the cell phone on，and when to switch it off. To avoid becoming the slave of technology，instead of the master. "

Dr. Mary Carskadon expressed little surprise with the finding. " Interpersonal（人际的）contact is one of the things that's best at keeping us awake，" she observed. "And so，a young person receiving cell phone texts or phone calls is going to have more deep disturbances. And they are going to be tired and restless，and probably，as a result，going to use more stimulants（兴奋剂）．And judgment is not always the best in our teenage years. So, that's where I think parental attention to this issue may be useful. "

72. Teens who become addicted to their cell phones will become    ．

A. too anxious to relax.               B. unable to stay still.

C. unable to have real rest.             D. excited to forget sleep.

73. What we can learn from the sixth paragraph is that    ．

A. more teens know how to make technology serve them

B. teens used to be taught how to use technology

C. we should make use of technology rather than be in the control of it

D. the young generation depends less on the technology to grow up

74. According to Dr. Mary Carskadon，how to deal with the problem?

A. Teenagers should judge how to use their phones.

B. Teenagers should reduce their interpersonal contact.

C. Teenagers should switch their phones off.

D. Parents should give more attention to children's use of phones.

75．What's the passage mainly about?

A. Too much phone time has a bad effect on teens' sleep.

B. Too many cell phone calls have cost teens too much.

C. Few cell phone calls will damage teens' friendships.

D. Too little cell phone time improves teens' attention at class.

 

The world is not only hungry, but it is also thirsty for water．This may seem strange to you，since nearly 70 percent of the earth's surface is covered with water．But about 97 percent of this huge amount is sea water, or salt water．Man can only drink and use the other 3 percent-the fresh water from rivers，lakes，underground，and other sources．And we cannot even use all of that，because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glacier．Even worse，some of it has been polluted．

However，as things stand today, this small amount of fresh water is still enough for us．But our need for water is increasing rapidly-almost day by day．Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid a severe worldwide water shortage later on．

We all have to learn how to stop wasting our valuable water．One of the first steps is to develop ways of reusing it．

Today in most large cities，water is used only once and then sent out into a sewer system．From there it returns to the sea or runs into underground storage tanks．But it is possible to pipe used water to a purifying plant．There it can be treated with chemicals so that it can be used again，just as if it were fresh from a spring．

But even if every large city purified and reused its water，we still would not have enough．All we'd have to do make use of the vast reserves of sea water in the world is to remove the salt．

If we take these steps we'll be in no danger of drying up．

56．The world is thirsty for water because we can only use      percent of the water covering the surface of the earth．

A．3    B．more than 3    C．less than 3    D．97

57．Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?

A．As things remain unchanging，this small amount of fresh water is still enough for us．

B．Our need for water is becoming larger and larger．

C．There will be no water shortage in the future．

D．We should take steps to deal with the water shortage problem．

58．To reuse water, we should              ．

A．treat it with chemicals              B．use it only once

C．send it out into a sewer system       D．make it flow into underground tanks

59．In order to have enough water．we should also make use of          ．

A．icebergs and glaciers    B．sea water

C．rivers and lakes        D．underground water

                                Learning inside the museum

Museums have an important role in providing learning services to users，especially school children．Some learning services will provide a range of formal teaching opportunities in the museum；others will work closely with school teachers so that these teachers can make better use of the learning resources available through displays and exhibitions，databases，handling collections and museum staff.

In an ideal world，every museum would have at least one learning or education specialist．He or she would be a trained teacher who also had a good understanding of museums and museum collections，and a strong feeling to help people especially children use and learn from them.

A museum education specialist is of great value. For most museums the establishment of such a post should be high priority. He or she is the only member of staff with training in the psychology of learning，and has considerable experience of analyzing complex concepts and－presenting them in a simple way to a non-specialist audience. The education specialist is，indeed，the only professional interpreter in the museum.

    It is clearly reasonable，therefore，for the museum to make full use of the education specialist's skills，and to involve him or her in all aspects of interpretation and the planning of new displays and exhibitions．Museum learning is not just about teaching children，though children may be its principal audience.

Many small museums may not be able to employ an education specialist of their own．For them，there are other possibilities. One is that the local Schools Service may be able to lend a teacher to the museum，perhaps for two or three years，who could be trained to apply teaching skills to the museum context: another is that suitable volunteers may be available in the community-perhaps retired teacher，or teachers not presently working who may be willing to give some of their time to the museum. Another possibility is sponsorship：a large company might be willing to finance the appointment an education specialist for a few years．

An important part of the work for the education specialist in a museum is to establish strong links with its local schools．He or she is a communicator who has responsibility for keeping contact with the teachers at local schools. He or she should make sure that the schools know what is going on at the museum and how they can make use of it，and that the museum staff know about development in the school.Above all,it is their responsibility to find out what schools want and to ensure that the museum does its best to meet those requirements．There needs to be a continuing dialogue between teachers and museum：the museum needs to know what the teachers are teaching；teachers need to learn how the museum could help，and what resources they could use．

The look of wonder on a child's face can be the reward for a lifetime's work in museums．The aims of museum learning are to establish contact between people ----whether children or adults---and objects；and not to teach facts，but to sow（播）a seed of interest，a spark（火花）of inspiration.

 

 

 

Remembering names is an important social skill．Here are some ways to master it．

Recite and repeat in conversation．

    When you hear a person’s name，repeat it．Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips．You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial．

    Ask the other person to recite and repeat．

    You can let other people help you remember their names．After you’ve been introduced to someone，ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you．Most people will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names．

    Admit you don’t know．

    Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed．Most of them will feel sympathy if you say．“I’m working to remember names better．Yours is right on the tip of my tongue．What is it again?”

    Use associations．

    Link each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual．For example，you could make a mental note: "Vicki Cheng -- tall, black hair.” To reinforce (加强) your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.

     Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.

     When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.

     Go early.

     Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. That's fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others -- an automatic review for you.
