Life on-line can be a much richer experience ...

Life on-line can be a much richer experience when you aren’t restricted to just written words and still pictures. Even if you’re new to the Net, you’ve probably heard about multimedia on-line—listening to audio, watching animations and videos, even playing in three-dimensional space. Sound and movement make information come alive.

To experience it, you’ll need special pieces of software called plug-ins. The term “plug-in” refers to a small, add-on piece of software which extends the capabilities of your web browser, like Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Explorer, turning your computer into a radio or TV.

When you arrive at a web page which contains a file requiring a plug-in which you don’t have,you will usually receive a message asking if you want to get it by downloading it and installing it into your computer. Most of the time, the installation will be automatic.

Occasionally, you’ll run into a downloaded file which needs to be decompressed or un-zipped before installation. Once installed, plug-ins run automatically, without you having to do anything.

Many multimedia controls still need to be obtained from the developer but are installed automatically.

Shockwave is a good example of this. All you need to do is go to the Macromedia site and click on the link to install the ActiveX control. The rest happens automatically. The next time you go to a “Shocked” website, the Shockwave control loads and plays the movie.

Most plug-ins and controls can be downloaded for free on the Internet, although not all will work with every system. Some of them, for instance, only work with Windows 95.

1.Plug-ins can help us to do all of the following except _________.

A.listening to music

B.watching animations and videos

C.playing three-dimensioned games

D.searching for information on the net

2.The correct explanation about “plug-in” is _________.

A.a radio or TV connected with a computer

B.a small,add-on piece of hardware which improves your web browser

C.a small,add-on piece of software which can turn your computer into a radio or TV

D.a small,add-on piece of software like Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Explorer

3.When we go to a “shocked” website a second time,_________.

A.we should go to the Macromedia site and click on the link to install the Active X control

B.the shockwave control loads itself and plays the movie for us

C.we will be asked whether to download the shockwave control or not

D.we have to buy the shockwave control and load it

4.Most of the time,how can we get a plug-in before automatic installation?

A.We have to buy it from the developer.

B.We have to borrow it from the developer.

C.We have to rent it from the developer.

D.We can obtain from the developer without paying.

Goals can help you do，be and experience everything you want in life．Instead of just letting life happen to you，goals allow you to make your life happen．

Successful and happy people have an idea of how their life should be and they set lots of goals to help them succeed．By setting goals you are taking control of your life．It’ s like having a map to show you where you want to go．Think of it this way．There are two drivers．One has a destination in mind which is laid out for her on a map．She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns．The other driver has no goal or destination or map．She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver，but she drives without an aim around，never getting anywhere，just using up gas and oil．Which driver do you want to be？

Winners in life set goals and follow through on them．Winners decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals．Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident．Goals aren’t difficult to set―and they aren’t difficult to reach．It’s up to you to find out what your goals and ideals（理想）really are．

Research tells us that when we write a goal down，we are more likely to achieve．Written goals can be reviewed regularly，and have more power．Like a contract with yourself，they are harder to neglect（忽视）or forget．Also when you write your goals in a particular way，you are able to make yourself continuously alert（警觉）to situations that will further your goals．

1.The writer gave the example of two drivers to show__________．

A．how stupid the first driver was

B．the importance of having a map and right direction

C．how stupid the second driver was

D．the importance of setting goals

2.According to the passage，successful people are different from unsuccessful ones because

_________．

A．the successful people set goals for everything and can get help from others

B．the unsuccessful people always set unrealistic plans for themselves

C．the successful people set goals in their lives and make plans to carry it out

D．the unsuccessful people make plans for everything but can not work hard

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？

A．Goals can make you gain everything you want in life.

B．Only successful people can be happy.

C．If you want to succeed，you need to set long-term goals instead of short-term Goals.

D．When we put our goal down on papers，we are more likely to succeed.

4.Which is the best title for the passage?

A．Goals help you succeed              B．How to succeed

Can you imagine being able to remember every single experience of your life and every word in your favorite book? That’s what Becky’s life is like.

Three years ago, Becky was reading a newspaper article which mentioned that it was impossible for people to remember the details of their life in the first three years.“What nonsense!” she thought, because she could clearly remember her life all the way back to when she was just 12 days old. Her parents had carried her to the driver’s seat of their car and laid her down for a photo. But it wasn’t nonsense. She was just one of only 80 known people suffering from a mysterious condition called HSAM（超忆症）.

Becky’s unusual case was shown on a program called 60 Minutes, where reporter Allison tested her ability by asking her about her favorite book series, Harry Potter, Allison would pick up a book and open a page and read her a line. Immediately Becky would name the book, chapter number, chapter name and could recite every word until Allison told her to stop.

Being able to remember every little detail is great, but as every HSAM suffer will tell you, it’s also tough to deal with it. We always forget things to get over sad experiences in our lives, but it’s something that people like Becky can’t do. Even walking on the street and lightly knocking into somebody can bring back bad memories from Becky’s childhood. Also, like Becky, people with HSAM never do well in school, because they have problems picking up the important information from what they've　 learnt.

Becky’s great brain could help scientists find a cure for terrible mental illnesses like Alzheimer’s.(老年痴呆症) Her condition could hold the secret to treating or even preventing Alzheimer’s.

Can you imagine being able to remember every single experience of your life and every word in your favorite book? That’s what Becky’s life is like, and as wonderful as it sounds, it can also be quite terrifying at times.

Three years ago, Becky was reading a newspaper article which mentioned that it was impossible for people to remember the details of their life in the first three years. “What nonsense (胡说八道)!” she thought, because she could clearly remember her life all the way back to when she was just 12 days old. Her parents had carried her to the driver’s seat of their car and laid her down for a photo. But it wasn’t nonsense. She was just one of only 80 known people who have a condition called HSAM(Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory).

Becky’s unusual condition was recently shown on a program called 60 minutes, where reporter Allison tested her ability by asking her questions about her favorite book series, Harry Potter. Allison would pick up a book and open a page and read her a line. Immediately Becky would name the book, chapter number, chapter name and could recite every word until Allison told her to stop.

Being able to remember every little detail is a great ability, but as every person with HSAM will tell you, it can be very hard to deal with. Forgetting is one of the things we use to get over sad experiences in our lives, but it’s something that people like Becky are unable to do. Even walking on the street and lightly bumping(撞) into somebody brings back memories from Becky’s childhood, when a boy knocked her over. She’s taken right back to that time, living the experience all over again. Also, like Becky, people with HSAM never do well in school, because they have problems filtering(过滤) through all the information, remembering only the important bits.

Becky’s special brain could help scientists find a way to treat people with terrible illnesses like Alzheimer’s. Her condition could hold the secret to treating or even preventing Alzheimer’s.

1.What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?

A. What people with HSAM feel like.

B. Why HSAM is unfamiliar to people.

C. How Becky knew she was different.

D. How Becky spent her early childhood.

2.Why was Becky asked questions on 60 minutes?

If you are a human, you can’t help but experience the time when everything seems to be going wrong and you feel as if your life is completely out of control．It is during the low time that words of encouragement from family, friends, co­workers or even strangers can boost your spirits．It is also during the low time that destructive words can be devastating（毁灭性的） and make you sink deeper and deeper into depression．

For example, consider this story about a group of frogs who were traveling through the woods when two of them fell into a deep pit（深坑）．All of the other frogs gathered around the pit．When they saw how deep the pit was, they told the two unfortunate frogs they would never get out．

The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump out of the pit．The other frogs kept telling them to stop．Finally, one of the two frogs took notice of what the other frogs were saying and simply gave up．He died．The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could．Once again the crowd of frogs shouted at him to stop the pain．The more they shouted, the harder he jumped and finally he made it．

When he got out, the other frogs asked him why he continued to jump when they were all shouting at him to tell him to give up．The frog explained to them that he was a little bit deaf．He thought they were encouraging him the whole time．

Every time you have a chance to say either something positive or negative to another human being, do choose the chance to say something positive! Don’t let those opportunities get away from you．Your words have a large amount of power．Use them wisely．You really never know just how much they can mean to someone else．

1.Why did the frog that succeeded in jumping to safety neglect（忽视） the other frogs’ comments?

A．Because he would like to jump out of the pit．

B．Because he could hardly hear what the other frogs said．

C．Because he didn’t want to give up his hope．

D．Because he had a positive attitude toward life．

2.What can we infer from the first paragraph?

A．There is no way to go when we go wrong．

B．Life depends on encouragement．

C．Destructive words will lead to death．

D．Words are playing an important role around us．

3.The writer mainly wants to tell us ________ in the last paragraph．

B．positive words

C．negative words

D．the opportunities to say something
