They said that because of the Internet and other new technology, there is no longer any need for school buildings, classes or teachers. Perhaps this will be true one day, but if the world has no schools, I cant imagine(想像) how our society will be, In fact, we should learn how to use new technology to make schools better. We should invent a new knid of school that is linked to libraries, museums, science centers, labs and even companies. Technological companies should create(创造) learning programs for schools. Scientists or professors could give talks through the Internet. TV networks and local stations could develop programs about things students are actually studying in school. Labs could set up websites to show new technology so students could see it on the Internet.Is this a dream? No. There are already many cities where this is beginning to happen. Here the whole city is linked to the Internet, and learning can take place at home, at school, and in the office. Businesses provide programs for the schools and the society. The schools provide computer labs for people without their own computers at home. Because everyone can be on the Internet, older people use it as much as younger ones. And everyone can visit distant(远处的) libraries and museums as easily as nearby ones. How will this new kind of school change the usual way of learning? It is too early to be sure, but it is very exciting to think about it. Technology will change the way we learn; schools will change as well; and we will all learn something from the Internet.（1）In the writers opinion, .A . more schools should be builtB . schools are necessaryC . schools are not necessaryD . there should be fewer schools（2）What does “a new kind of school” mean?A .

You must think it works at a super speed and can do everything? Well, its not! In fact, the brain is much more powerful than any super computer! Think about when a glass is just about to fall off the table. Your brain controls everything that you need to do to save that glass from falling. First your eyes check out whats going on, then tell your brain, and your brain decides how quickly you need to react(反应), and then your muscles(肌肉) go into action. That is just from your brain. No computer could ever come close to that!The brain weighs just 3 pounds, but it controls everything you do from thinking, learning, feeling even to breathing and your heart beating. Even though the brain is just 2% of your body weight, it uses around 20% of all your energy in your body. That is a lot for such a small organ(器官). There are about 100 billion tiny, tiny little cells(细胞) in your brain. There are so many that it would take you over 3,000 years to count them all!Your brain stops growing when youre 18, but it actually keeps on developing and learning new things. So your parents are really super smart! You wont be able to fool them! Believe it or not, your brain NEVER stops working. Even during sleeping, the brain works for long-term memory establishment(建立). It is realized that the brain is the second organ in the body as the heart that never stops during human lives.So everyone should be proud of such a gift of nature.（1）In Paragraph 1, the writer wants to tell us . A . eyes and muscles react quicklyB . the brain controls everything in your bodyC . the computer is the best thing in the worldD . the brain is more powerful than any computer（2）In Paragraph 2, the underlined word “That” refers to(指的是) .

After reading the book Unpolished Gem (未经雕琢的宝石) by Australian writer Alice Pung, I found I am not alone. Pung had the same story as me.The story is set in Melbourne. Pungs parents are from Cambodia. They have lived in Australia for years. But Pung still has difficulties understanding both cultures.One is the white Australian culture she lives in. The other is her familys traditional Asian values (价值观). For example, her parents tell her, You are going to be a lawyer and marry a doctor. This makes Pung want to run away from her life. However, as she argues with her white boyfriend, she knows that traditional Asian values are part of her life. In the end, she happily accepts her own cultural background (背景).Since Pung lived in her home country for 18 years, it wasnt easy for her to understand Australian culture. I have found that I feel the same way sometimes. In Asian culture, we put a lot of importance on our studies and getting into a good college. But it seems like Western kids are more carefree.I liked this book because it really shows what its like to live as an immigrant.
