The next time you look up at the sky and see a cloud that looks like Mickey Mouse or your favorite fruit, look again. It may not be a cloud, but a Flogo -- a logo that flies. It's a new form of advertising in the sky that's never been used before. It's a different way to market your products, logos, and events.
These funny logos are made with soap bubbles （肥皂泡） mixed with a little helium gas （氦气） ,which makes them lighter than air and float in the sky. Special machines are used to make these new funny Flogos. The machine, which can be rented for $ 2,500 a day, can make a Flogo every 15-25 seconds.
Flogos can fly much higher or lower if needed. They can last from a few minutes to an hour anywhere in the sky, depending on the weather conditions. Though they can fly up to 20, 000 feet, they usually float around at 300- 500 feet. Flogos are only white now, but people hope to have more colorful Flogos in the near future.
Flogos are Green, 100% environmentally safe, because the soap used to make the Flogo comes from plants and leaves. So this fun way of advertising is healthy and good for the environment.
9. Flogos are mainly used to _____.
A. advertise in the sky B. make funny bubbles
C. improve weather conditions D. see colorful clouds
10. Why are Flogos healthy and good for the environment?

When I was in the seventh grade, I was a volunteer at a local hospital in my town. Most of the time that I spent there was with Mr. Gillespie. He never had any visitors, and nobody seemed to care about his c 1 .

I left for a week to vacation with my parents, and when I returned, Mr. Gillespie was gone. I didn’t have the c 3 to ask any of the nurses where he was, for fear they might tell me he had died.
Several years later, I was a student at a junior college. One day, I was at the gas station when I noticed a familiar（熟悉的）face. When I r 4 who it was, my eyes were filled with tears. He was a 5 ! I asked him if his name was Mr. Gillespie. With an uncertain look on his face, he replied yes. I e 6 how I knew him, and that I had spent many hours talking with him in the hospital.

八、任务型阅读
Teachers say the digital (数字的) age has had a good and a not-so-good influence on the American teenagers. More than 2,000 high school teachers took a survey on the Internet.
????? 75 percent of the teachers said the Internet and digital search tools have had a good use for their students' research habits and skills. But 87 percent agreed that these technologies "make the students not have enough attention.” And 64 percent said the technologies “don’t help them in courses.”
???? Judy Buchanan, a director of the National Writing Project, says digital research tools are helping students learn more, and learn faster. Teachers really like these tools, because they make some of learning very exciting. Young people enjoy using these tools. And the goal is to help them do the work creatively, and not just to copy.
???? But one problem is that many students don't have a good understanding of how to use the digital knowledge well. In other words, they trust too much of the information. Judy Buchanan says these students have to develop the skills that tell whether the information online is good or bad.
????? Another problem is that students find information from the Internet too quickly. Teachers say the ability of their students to work hard to find answers is becoming weaker. The students depend too much on search engines and do not make enough use of books.
Besides, many teachers are also worried about the problem that the Internet makes students copy work done by others easily, instead of using their own abilities.
