A 17-year-old boy, caught sending text messages in class, was recently sent to the vice principal's office at Millwood High School in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
The vice principal, Steve Gallagher, told the boy he needed to focus on the teacher, not his cellphone. The boy listened politely and nodded, and that's when Mr. Gallagher noticed the student's fingers moving on his lap. He was texting while being scolded for texting!
"It was a subconscious(下意识的) act," said Mr. Gallagher, who took the phone away. "Young people today are connected socially from the moment they open their eyes in the morning until they close their eyes at night. It's addictive(上瘾的). They can’t simply stop doing that."
Because so many people in their teens and early 20s are in this constant whir of socializing – accessible(易接近的) to each other every minute of the day via cellphone, instant messaging and social-networking Web sites -- there are a host of new questions that need to be addressed in schools, in the workplace and at home. Chief among them: How much work can "hyper-socializing" students or employees really accomplish if they are holding multiple conversations with friends via text-messaging, or are obsessively checking Facebook? Almost a quarter of today's teens check Facebook more than 10 times a day, according to a 2009 survey by Common Sense Media, a non-profit group that monitors media's impact on families.
Will these young people get rid of this habit once they enter the work force, or will employers come to see texting and "social-network checking" as accepted parts of the workday?
"In past generations, students got in trouble for passing notes in class. Now students are adept at texting with their phones still in their pockets," said 40-year-old Mr. Gallagher, "and they're able to communicate with someone one floor down and three rows over. Students are just fundamentally different today. They will take suspensions(休学) rather than give up their phones."
1.When the boy was scolded for texting, _________________.
A. he was polite and regretful
B. he was trying sending another message
C. his fingers shouldn’t be put on his lap
D. he listened carefully and nodded
2.From what the boy did we know___________.
A. Using the cellphone is addictive for the boy
B. The boy will stop using the cellphone
C. The boy will leave school
D. The boy wasn’t willing to accept being scolded
3.What can we learn about the students in their teens and early 20s?
A. All of them are addicted to using cellphones.
B. They will get rid of the habit once they go to work.
C. They are greatly different from the past generations.
D. Most of them check Facebook more than 10 times a day.
4.What can we infer from the passage?
A. Facebook is a kind of book students need to read at school.
B. The employers will accept texting at workday.
C. The students will give up their phones one day.
D. It’s convenient for students to communicate with others with cellphones.

When I was fifteen, I announced to my English class that I was going to write and illustrate my own books. Half the students sneered. The rest nearly fell out of their chairs laughing. “Don’t be silly, only geniuses can become writers,” the English teacher said, “And you are getting a D this semester.” I was so humiliated(羞辱) that I burst into tears.
That night I wrote a short sad poem about broken dreams and mailed it to the Capri’s Weekly newspaper. To my astonishment, they published it and sent me two dollars. I was a published and paid writer. I showed it to my teacher and fellow students. They laughed. “Just plain dumb luck,” the teacher said. I tasted success. I’d sold the first thing I’d ever written. That was more than any of them had done and if it was just dumb luck, that was fine with me.
During the next two years I sold dozens of poems, letters, jokes and recipes. By the time I graduated from high school, with a C minus average, I had scrapbooks filled with my published work. I never mentioned my writing to my teachers, friends or my family again. They were dream killers and if people must choose between their friends and their dreams, they must always choose their dreams.
I had four children at the time, and the oldest was only four. While the children slept, I typed on my ancient typewriter. I wrote what I felt. It took nine months, just like a baby.
A month later Crying Wind, the title of my book, became a best seller, was translated into fifteen languages and Braille and sold worldwide. I appeared on TV talk shows. I traveled from New York to California and Canada on promotional tours. My first book also became required reading in native American schools in Canada.
People ask what college I attended, what degrees I had and what qualifications I have to be a writer. The answer is: “None.” I just write. I’m not a genius. I’m not gifted and I don’t write right. To all those who dream of writing, I’m shouting at you: “Yes, you can. Yes, you can. Don’t listen to them.” I don’t write right but I’ve beaten the odds. Writing is easy, it’s fun and anyone can do it. Of course, a little dumb luck doesn’t hurt.
1.Why did many students laugh after hearing what the writer said?

When I was twenty years old, my grandmother invited me to Europe for two weeks. I had never been to foreign countries before, so I was especially excited about the trip. When I told one of my professors about the trip, he suggested, “Keep a journal(日记).” More than ten years later, I am so thankful for his suggestion, as I can look back on this first trip to Europe through my journal.
Keeping a travel journal is very simple. Bring a journal with you during your vacation and write down the things that interest you. Interestingly, what appeals to you may not be the tourist attractions but some small things, such as something in your hotel room, and a talk you hear by chance. Your journal is the best thing you can bring back from a vacation.
It is a great idea to choose a good journal style that you like. Whether it is lined or unlined paper, pick up a journal that feels good in your hands. The size of your journal is also important. Some people feel that a travel journal should be small and easy to carry, while others prefer a larger-sized journal. My journal has always been about 8×11 inches. I haven’t found any real problems with carrying it. It fits well into a backpack. A good tip is to get some type of waterproof(防水的)cover for your journal. You never know when something in your bag may leak(渗漏), or it may start to rain, which can just ruin your journal.
In addition, consider carrying some plastic bags to bring back some pictures and postcards so that you can put them in your journal. You will probably find some things during the day that you want to attach to your journal at night in your hotel.
Always carry something to write with when you have your journal. Consider carrying a variety of pens, markers, or pencils so as to make your journal look more beautiful. Even if you are not very good at drawing, a journal has a way of freeing your creative juices. You will find yourself quickly drawing things or writing poems at the sides of the pages in your journal.
Tourist maps are also a wonderful thing to consider adding to your journal because they show where you have been. You can add parts of the map to show where you have been that day and then another part on another day to show where you have been the following day.
Bring a tube of glue to stick postcards and pictures to your journal. You can cut the pictures and postcards into the shapes you like so that you can make your journal look more beautiful. Keep these things handy in a plastic bag so that you can find them easily.
There are so many things you can consider writing in your journal, such as the sights you have seen that day, a meal you have had, a person you have seen in a museum, a cafe that has caught your attention, your feelings about your trip or about the hotel you have stayed in, and a list of the things you also wish to do during your vacation. These are all the small details that do make up your trip.
1.The author is grateful for his professor’s suggestion because ________.
A. he has got into the habit of keeping a travel journal
B. he had a good time with her grandmother in Europe
C. he has learned a lot about how to keep a travel journal
D. he can think of his first trip to Europe with the journal
2.What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?
A. What kind of journal style to choose.
B. What size of journal to pick up.
C. Why to take a journal while travelling.
D. How to protect the journal against damage.
3.What’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage?
A. To suggest what to write in a travel journal.
B. To give some tips on keeping a travel journal.
C. To show what we should bring while taking a trip.
D. To explain why keeping a travel journal is important
4.This passage is mainly written for ________.
A. those interested in writing
B. those researching on tourism
C. those fond of travelling
D. those planning to be journalists
