Recent research from the Pew Internet Project suggests that 90% of Americans aged from 12 to 17 use the Internet, and 51% of those teens use social networks. However, there are many possible problems with social networking sites and the teenagers who use them.
Apart from the social advantages, social networking sites can be used to record school research, develop artistic talents and experiment with other forms of subject creation. They provide a way to communicate with others who share the same interests and to get helpful advice on ongoing projects.
Along with these advantages come some dangers. For example, most social networking sites are open to all, especially MySpace, which is the most popular social network among teens in America. It means that they could be put in unpleasant and frightening situations.
A greater danger is that teens may become objects of the people with secret purposes. The secrecy of some social networking sites makes it easy for dangerous people to find young teens and invite them into dangerous conversations. It’s easy for them to pretend as teens and draw children into dangerous real-world communication as well. Then further hurt might be on its way.
Another danger is identity stealing, which can happen when teens share too much information about their names, dates of birth and locations.
Therefore, it’s very important to make sure teens are safe when they use social networks.
Many of the same rules that work for online chat work for these sites:
※ Don’t use your real name.
※ Don’t give out personal information to people you don’t know. A last name and a town are enough for a bad guy to find where you are.
※ Don’t believe that people are who they say to be.
※ Immediately end any communication that makes you uncomfortable and report it to a parent.
Only if you are sure of your safety, can you enjoy the fun brought by social networking. Besides, trying to deal with all problems on your own can lead to terrible results. Remember, asking your parents or school officials for help doesn’t mean you are unable to do anything but wiser than many others.

Snack time is a part of the day for children of all ages. But new research suggests that kids snacking in big groups could be at risk for obesity.
Scientists from American University looked at the eating behavior of 54 kids between the ages of 2 and 6. At snack time, the scientist watched the amount of food each child ate while they were in groups of either three or nine. According to the study, the more children there are in a group, the more likely they are to eat more. Those in the larger group ate nearly 30 percent more than those in the smaller group, and they actually ate faster.
Since this is the first such study in children, scientists are quick to point out the importance of encouraging healthy habits in kids as early as possible.
“If you know kids eat more in large groups, it seems perfect to use this information to keep snack groups small or use small tables,” says Dr. Jana Klauer, an expert in New York.
Smaller groups would allow for a quiet and more relaxing environment-a perfect chance to teach children about food, manners and how to know when they feel full. “This would have an effect on kids' eating,” adds Klauer. “They would slow down and eat less.”
1.How many times have the scientists done such study according to the passage?

4.The best title of the passage is “ ”
A.Snack Time | B.Different Groups |
C.Eating More | D.Food for Kids |

Researchers have developed paper that can be printed with UV light (紫外线), free from the need for ink (油墨). People can clear the information away on the light-printable paper by heating it to 120°C and it can be reused more than 80 times.
The research was carried out in order to reduce the effects of paper production on deforestation (滥砍滥伐). The researchers, from Shandong University in China and the University of California, Riverside, said that the secret behind the technology is a color-changing chemical. A thin coating of the chemical can be used on usual paper and turn it into a reusable, light-printable one. Heating the paper for 10 minutes can help clear the information away more quickly.
Professor Yadong Yin, a chemistry professor at the University of California and a co-author of the study, said, “The greatest importance of our work is the development of a new technology to produce an ink-free rewritable paper that has the same feel and appearance as usual paper. Our work is believed to have great economic and environmental influences on the modem society.” Paper production has a bad influence on the environment. It’s the main cause of industrial pollution and paper thrown away by people makes up about 40% of landfills where waste is buried under the ground.
It is predicted that light-printable paper will be inexpensive in the future. The printing process is also more cost-effective than the usual one as no ink is needed. Most importantly, it can be reused many times, which greatly reduces the cost.

How can you get the most information from a book? Here are some suggestions that can help you read effectively(有效地).
Read the whole thing.
When you're learning something by reading, it's more important to have a general idea than to understand every detail(细节). In fact, no matter how carefully you read, you won't remember or understand all of the details. So remembering the main points will be OK.
Decide how much time you will spend.
If you know that you have only six hours for a book, it'll be wise of you to adjust(调整) yourself. The more clearly you know your limits(时限), the more effective your reading will be. So never start to read without planning when to stop.
Have a purpose.
Before you begin, find out why you want to read this book. If you don't have reasons of your own, you can't learn much. After you start to read, try to think of four questions: Who is the writer? What are the book's opinions? What are the reasons? What are the conclusions(结论)?
Read it three times.
You'll get the most out of the book if you read it three times-fast-reading for general ideas, reading for understanding, and then reading for note-taking and remembering.
1.What is the passage about?
____________________________________________________________________________________________
2.According to the passage, will you read more effectively if you know your limits?

Research says that husbands do not do their fair share of work around the house. A study from an American university says that men seldom do the same share of housework. Researchers interviewed 182 working couples who became first-time parents. Both husbands and wives worked almost the same number of hours in full-time jobs. However, men did five hours a week less housework than women after their baby was born.
It is a different story for mothers. Becoming a parent added 21 hours a week to a mother’s work. Most of this was looking after her baby. New fathers did not do more woke because they did not realize the mother was doing so much more. Another reason is that after a baby is born, fathers follow the “traditional” roles. That is, the mother looks after the baby and the father works outside. This happens even when the mother is working the same number of hours in her job.
1.It is found that ______ do less housework.
A. wives B. husbands C. parents D. babies
2.The underlined sentence “It is a different story for mothers.” Probably means ______.
A. mothers come from different families
B. mothers like reading different stories
C. mothers work more hours than fathers
D. different mothers have different children
3.What is the “traditional” role of a father?
A. Working outside B. Looking after the baby
C. Doing housework D. Doing part-time jobs
4.Which part of a newspaper can this passage be taken from?
A. Sports B. Medicine
C. News D. Society

根据短文内容,从短文后的A-F选项中选出5个适当的选项补全短文(选项中有一项为多余选项)。
I know that you get the idea from the Internet that you can be rich and successful without any hard work—your ticket to success is through singing, basketball or being a superstar. 1.
The truth is that being successful is hard. You will not love every subject that you study. 2. Not all homework will seem completely related to your life right at this minute. And you won’t necessarily succeed at everything the first time you try.
That is okay. 3. J.K. Rowling—who wrote Harry Potter—her first Harry Potter book was not accepted 12 times before it was finally published. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team. He lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career(职业生涯). But he once said,“I have failed over and over again in my life. And that’s why I succeed.”
These people succeeded because they understood the secret of success—you can not let your failures decide you. 4. You have to let them show you what to do differently the next time. So if you get into trouble, that doesn’t mean you are a troublemaker, it means you need to learn to act right. 5.
A. You have to let your failures teach you.
B. So many of you dream of being successful by hard work.
C. You won’t get along well with every teacher that you have.
D. But it is possible that you’re not going to be any of those things.
E. If you get a bad grade, that doesn’t mean you’re stupid, it means you need to work harder.
F. Sometimes the most successful people in the world are the ones who have had the most failures.
