Living in a modern society with more and more out-of-date but still useful computers, many people have to face such a troubling problem: How to deal with those old computers? Some old ones are put away in homes. Many more are just thrown out with the rubbish.
Don’t worry! Some companies are coming up with new ways to cut the number of old computers. Sony, Dell, Hewlett-Packard and other companies now agree to take back some old computers.
In some countries, there are laws about what to do with old computers. By law, computer companies will have to pay for collecting and recycling their used products. And 70% of computer waste must be recycled. The idea behind the laws is that computer companies themselves should pay the cost. That will encourage them to make computers that are easier and cheaper to repair and upgrade(升级).
While many people are throwing away good computers, others cannot afford them at all. Hundreds of organizations(组织)are working to solve this problem. They collect and repair old computers before sending them to schools, charities(慈善团体)and people who need them. In this way, we can turn one person's rubbish into someone else's useful things-and cut down on waste.
1.What do many people do with old computers?

Living in a modern society has its advantages and disadvantages. One disadvantage is that you often have to live closer to other people than you would like to. Sometimes, your neighbors make a noise that you are not comfortable with.
The best way to solve this problem is to talk with your neighbor first. You should be very polite and ask your neighbor if he knows how thin the walls of your homes are. This way doesn’t criticize (批评) his behavior(行为); it simply points out that he may not realize how far his sound travels. Tell him that you know that sometimes you make noise as well, but that you do your best to keep it down. Often this will solve the problem right away, but sometimes the neighbor may become angry.
If your neighbor becomes angry with you, there are some more steps you can take. You might write a letter to the neighborhood committee. Make sure you write down the source of the noise and the time in the letter. They will review the situation and decide whether your neighbor is out of line. Some noise is considered to be reasonable, even if it bothers you. So you may prepare a good pair of earplugs (耳塞).
Even if your neighbor makes too much noise, you don’t have to live your life in discomfort. It’s always a good idea to be friendly with your neighbors. You may clean the rubbish in front of his door. He’s sure to appreciate behavior like this and be more open to your suggestions about noise level.
1.What is the first step to deal with the noisy neighbor?
A. To buy a good pair of earplugs
B. To offer suggestions to the neighbor
C. To ask the neighborhood committee for help
D. To tell the neighbor how bad his behavior is
2.The underlined word “reasonable” in the third paragraph probably means “____”.
A. terrible B. loud C. proper D. unpleasant
3.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. You should control your noise as well
B. You can live comfortably even if there is noise
C. Your neighbor may be more friendly than you think
D. You should build good relationship with your neighbor
4.The author wrote this passage to tell us ____ .
A. why we should get on well with neighbors

One of the biggest complaints in modern society is being over-scheduled. Ask people how they are and the answer usually is “super busy,” “crazy busy” . _______ is just “fine” any more.
When people aren’t super busy at _______, they are crazy busy exercising, entertaining or parenting. And if there is ever a still moment for thoughts—for example, while waiting _______ at the supermarket or sitting in traffic—out come the mobile phones. So it’s worth noting a study published last month in Science, which shows how _______ people will go to avoid the examination for our thoughts.
“We had noted that we are so dependent on our mobile phones that people seem to find any _______ they can to keep busy,” said Timothy Wilson, a psychology professor at the University of Virginia. In his experiments involving 700 people, the majority found it _______ to be alone with their thoughts for just 6 to 15 minutes.
It could be because human beings, as problem solvers and meaning makers, when _______, tend to think about what’s wrong in their lives. When we aren’t _______ our Facebook page, the things we haven’t figured out appear in our minds—_______ relationships, professional failures, health concerns, etc. Unless there is a solution, these thoughts just ________ themselves in our heads.
But you can’t solve problems ________ you don’t allow yourself time to think about them. It has actually been ________ by our culture, which values doing more than thinking and believes answers are in your hand ________ in your head. “We all fell that busyness is ________ but it’s really harmful,” said Timothy. “There’s a widespread belief that thinking will only slow you down and get ________, but it’s the opposite.” ________ negative feelings only makes them more powerful, he said. Allowing and ________ the flow of thoughts is part of the solution itself, such as meditation(冥想).
Negative feelings are sometimes hard, but they are part of everyone’s life, ________ if you are busy. It is those deep and troubling feelings, and how you ________ them, that make you who you are. While busyness may seem to prevent the flow of sadness, it may also limit your ability to be filled with ________.

高一英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析
With the development of society, the choice of food and drinks for children is more diversified(多样化) than ever before. However, every coin has two sides. Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the statistics(数据统计). I feel there are a number of reasons for this.
Some people blame(责怪)the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants then probably children would buy less take-away food.
There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree to this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.
There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime(消遣), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.
The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as guiding them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.
1.What is suggested by the author to deal with “overweight”?
A. Blaming the shops selling unhealthy and fatty foods.
B. Asking young children to walk to school every day.
C. Living an active life and giving up bad eating habits.
D. Not watching TV or playing computer games after school.
2.Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?
3.The author writes the passage to __________
A. show people a social problem
B. provide facts for government
C. advise solutions to a problem
D. compare opinions with people
