On the first day of school, with permission of the school headmaster, she took all of the desks out of the classroom.The kids came into the first period. They walked in, there were no desks. They looked around and said, "Ms Cochran, where's our desks?" And she said, "You can't have a desk until you tell me how you earn them.” They thought, "Well, maybe it's our grades.” "No," she said. "Maybe it's our behavior. " And she told them, "No, it's not even your behavior. " Second period, the same thing. Third period. By early afternoon television news reporters had gathered in Ms. Cochrans class to find out about this crazy teacher. The last period of the day, Martha Cochran gathered her class. They were at this time sitting on the ground floor around the sides of the room. "Throughout the day no one has really understood how you earn the ordinary desks in this classroom." she said, "Now I'm going to tell you. " Martha Cochran went to the door of the classroom and opened it, and as she did, twenty-seven adults, who were fathers or mothers of the kids, walked into that classroom, each one having a school desk. And they placed those school desks in rows. And by the time they had finished placing those desks; those kids for the first time in their lives understood how they earned those desks. Martha said, "You don't have to earn those desks. They did it for you. They put them out there for you, but it's up to you to sit here responsibly to learn, to be good students and good citizens, because they paid a price for you to have that desk, and don't ever forget it! "56. Why did Cochran take all the desks out of the classroom? A. Because she wanted to punish the kids. B. Because she wanted to let kids know how they earned the desks. C. Because kids didn't need any desks at her classes. D. Because the desks were all broken.57. Who give kids to have a chance to get education? A. Teachers. B. The headmaster. C. Kids themselves. D.Kids' parents.58. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the text?A. Kids finally understood what their teacher meant by themselves.B. The headmaster supported Ms. Cochrans idea.C. Kids stood or sat on the ground floor to study on the first day.D. Kids' parents earned the desks for them.BThe United States is the world's largest consumer of energy. We use electricity, gas and oil to light and heat our buildings and run our cars. The demand for power is growing. But we may not need to build new power plants for or find more oil. The best way to increase our supply of energy is to be more efficient.Did you know that when you leave your video-game console on, it consumes more electricity than two refrigerators? Or that those funny-looking, twisty bulbs use 75 less power than traditional light bulbs? We have the tools to save money, reduce pollution and even help our planet, simply by wasting less energy.As President, Barack Obama plans to make energy efficiency in American a major goal. He has pledged to cut 15% of all energy used by the Federal Government. In a speech, he called for 75% of government office buildings to be updated for better efficiency. He pointed out that energy-efficient buildings and homes will save consumers billions of dollars on energy bills. An "extra benefit", he added, will be "a cleaner, safer planet."Gas, coal and oil are called fossil fuels. Fossil fuels have been the world's main source of energy for hundreds of years. But burning them releases dirty gases, which cause pollution.There are two main ways to save energy. The first is to use more efficient machines. Hybrid cars use less gas. New appliances are designed to use less electricity. Today's refrigerators are three times more efficient than those before 1973. Laptop computers consume much less energy than desktop computers.The second is to use machines more productively. According to the US Department of Energy, in the average home, 75 of the electricity used to power electronic equipment is standby power (备用电源) . That means power flowing to plugged-in appliances whether or not they are being used.Homeowners can avoid wasting power by pulling the plug on appliances when they are not in use. Efficiency experts argue that today's best techniques could cut US oil and gas use in half, and reduce our electricity use by three-fourths.59. The underlined word "pledged" in Paragraph 3 probably means _ .A. promised B. wondered C. reminded D. attempted60. By referring to Obama's plan, the author mainly intended to say that _.A. the US government office buildings have wasted the most energyB. Obama has decided to take the lead to cut down the use of electricityC. it is time for the US to shoulder the responsibility for a cleaner planetD. the US is determined to improve energy efficiency in the whole America61. It can be inferred from the text that _.A. to build new power plants or find more oil is no longer usefulB. burning fossil fuels can lead to a growing demand for powerC. everyone can make a difference by wasting less energyD. most of the electricity is wasted with appliances plugged-in62. What would be the best title for the text?A.The world's largest consumer of energy.B.The world's energy efficiency movement.C. We need to find new energy. D. We have to be more energy efficient.

In a movie magazine B. In the newspaperC. On the website D. In an academic journalDA new study suggests that the round­the­clock availability that cell phones have brought to people's lives may take a toll on family life. The study，which followed more than 1,300 adults over 2 years, found that those who consistently used a mobile phone throughout the study period were more likely to report negative “spillover” between work and home lifeand，in turn，less satisfaction with their family life.Spillover essentially(本质上)means that the line between work and home begins to become unclear. Work life may invade home life when a parent is taking job­related calls at home，for instanceor family issues may start to take up work time. For example，a child may call mum at work，telling her “microwave exploded”，explained Noelle Chesley，an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Wisconsin­Milwaukee and the author of the study. The problem with cell phones seems to be that they are allowing for even more spillover between work and home.This may be especially true for working women，the study found. Among men，consistent use of mobile phones seemed to allow more work issues to creep (潜入)into family time. But for women，the spillover tended to go in both directions. Being “connected” meant that work cut into home time，and family issues came into work life.Cell phones seem to be opening more lines for stressful exchanges among family members. But there may be ways to control the spillover，according to Chesley. Employers, she said，could look at their policies on contacting employees after hours to make sure their expectations are “reasonable”For their part，employees could decide that cell phones go off during family time, Chesley said.67What does the underlined phrase “take a toll on” probably mean in Paragraph 1?AExplaining. BFounding. C. Extending DDamaging.68According to Chesley，what is the best solution to the problem caused by cell phones?
