A
Well, parents, surpr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ise! Lots of us are using Twitter and Facebook to thumb rides, and not just to school. It’s awkward to be refused when you call a friend and ask for a ride. But with Twitter, you just look for other people heading the same way.
It may sound risky, s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o many teens stay within their own social circles to find rides, and don’t branch out beyond friends when asking on Twitter just like me, but to some young people, especially those taking longer trips, stranger danger is less of a concern.
“I think the digital ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )connection of young people is really key, because younger generations grew up sharing things on line, sharing files, photos, music, etc, so they’ve been very used to sharing,” said Juliet Schor, a sociology professor at Boston College.
The sharing economy got big during the recession (经济衰退), allowing people to access more goods, services using technology and even to share costs. And that technology, for me, is what the car was for my mom, a gateway to more freedom, like what my friend Earl says, “The symbol of freedom isn’t the car any more because there’s technology out there connecting you to a car.”
According to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the researchers at the University of Michigan, 30 years ago, eight in ten American 18-year-olds had a driver’s license compared to six in ten today. So it’s not that surprising that on my 16th birthday I wasn’t rushing to get a license but an iPhone.
“Driving, for young ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) people, does mean they have to disconnect from their technology, and that’s a negative. So if they could sit in the passage side and still be connected, that’s going to be a plus.” Schor continued. To me, another plus is that ridesharing represents something, something much bigger than trying to save money. I see it as evidence that people still depend on each other. My generation shares their cars and apartments the way neighbors used to share cups of sugar. For the system to work, some of us still need our own cars. But until I get my own version of the silver Super Beetle, you can find me on Twitter.
1. The American t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eens like the author, prefer to possess an iPhone as a birthday gift because _______.
A. it is most fas ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hionable and cool B. they are fond of being connected
C. they are bored with ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) driving cars D. it is much cheaper than a car
2. We can learn from the text that _______.
A. Twitter is a website for teens to make friends and achieve goals
B. ridesharin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g can be seen as a sign that people still count on each other
C. driving c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ars for teens means a plus and connecting with technology
D. having a car and ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) cost-sharing symbolize more freedom for the author’s mother
3. Professor Juliet would agree that _______.
A. young people wil ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l sit waiting to be contacted by reading a passage
B. sharing economy is bound to be responsible for the recession
C. young people t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )end to share a car with strangers by means of Twitter
D. being connected via technology comes first for young people
4. The best title for the passage is probably _______.
A. Twitter, an Awesome Website B. Cars or iPhone
C. Teens Use Twitter to Thumb Rides D. Cool Teens on the Go
B
Words like "thanks" ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )and "please" have become pet phrases for Na Yuegang. As one of the volunteers at this year’s Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum（论坛）， he assists more than 100 international representatives.
But Na Yuegang is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )not alone. More than 600 volunteers from 13 universities in Beijing contribute to the APEC meeting, according to Beijing Daily.
Students take advantage of opportunities to put their skills and interests to work at the forum, and in return they gain valuable work experience and connections.
Na Yuegang is an in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ternational politics major at Beijing Language and Culture University, and he’s a language enthusiast. In addition to English, he speaks both Thai and Cantonese. He uses his talents to help determine where delegates are from based on their accents.He even gets to use his language skills to communicate with staffers.
Through communi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cating with delegates, he’s developed a deeper understanding of his college major. “Here, I learn the meeting’s agenda, how the delegates work, and get a feel for the atmosphere of this international event.” he says.
"This experience ha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s made me more curious about the relationship between China and other nations," he says "I want to study these relationships, if possible.”
Xu Han, 21, an Engli ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sh major at Beijing University of Technology, is approaching the conference from a different angle. Her job is to introduce delegates to China’s technological innovations like 3D printing machines produced by technological company Tiertime. She is also in charge of showing off cultural relics and she does it all in English.
Once, she did ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a lot of preparation for the process behind a carved lacquer ware(漆器制品)technique to meet a Thai representative's curiosity. In only four days, she read more than 100 pages of notes.
She did her own ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) research online as well. Through her own research she's gained the ability to speak about the subject with confidence.
She's constantly on the look out for opportunities to grow.

People turn to magic chiefly as a form of insurance—that is, they use it along with actions that actually bring results. For example, hunters may use a hunting charm (咒语). But they also use their hunting skills and knowledge of animals. The charm may give hunters the extra confidence they need to hunt even more successfully than they would without it. If they shoot a lot of game (猎物), they credit the charm for their success. Many events happen naturally without magic. Crops grow without it, and sick people get well without it．But if people use magic to bring a good harvest or to cure a patient, they may believe the magic was responsible.
People also tend to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) forget magic’s failures and to be impressed by its surface success. They may consider magic successful if it appears to work only 10 percent of the time. Even when magic fails, people often explain the failure without doubting the power of the magic. They may say that the magician made a mistake in reciting the spell or that another magician cast a more powerful spell against the magician.
Many anthropologists (人类学家) believe that people have faith in magic because they feel a need to believe in it. People may turn to magic to reduce their fear and uncertainty if they feel they have no control over the outcome of a situation. For example, farmers use knowledge and skill when they plant their fields. But they know that weather, insects, or diseases might ruin the crops. So farmers in some societies may also plant a charm or perform a magic rite (仪式) to ensure a good harvest．
9. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage
A. Magic And Hunting. B. Magic And Farming.
C. Why Magic Fails D. Why People Believe in Magic
10. The underlined w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ord “spell” (Paragraph 2) most likely means ______.
A. magic words B. magic events C. magic ends D. magicians
11. People believe in magic because________.
A. magic powers are gr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eater than natural powers B. magic can turn dreams into reality
C. they are not su ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )re of themselves D. magic can bring good results
12. Which of the fo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )llowing statements is NOT true according to the passage
A. Even though magic ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) fails, believers in magic will explain the reason.
B. Believers in magic usually overstate the power of magic.
C. People use mag ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ic to reduce their uncertainty and give them confidence.
D. Magic can solve problems people can’t deal with in a natural way.

Dear fellow students,
Our school advocat ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )es that we should build a low-carbon campus in order to protect the earth.
I think it is everyo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ne’s duty to work hard to achieve this goal. Here is what I think we should do: Firstly, we should walk or ride bikes instead of driving cars or school buses to reduce the amount of pollution. Secondly, when we eat the food in the school canteen, we should eat up what we buy and not waste the food. Thirdly, it is important for us to save electricity and water. We should not leave the lights on in the daytime or leave water running after washing. Instead, we should turn off lights before we leave the classrooms and dormitories.
In a word, i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f we can make small changes in our way of life, we can make a big difference to the earth!
