21、How long has 3-D technology been around? Most of us might think of crowds of teenagers in a 1950’s movie house watching Bwana Devil in 3-D. But 3-D technology made its first appearance on the scene in 1838 with the first stereoscope(体视镜). And the first actual 3-D movie was a 1903 film called Le Ariveed’un Train.
Although it has such a long history, the technology has still remained based on one simple principle-----to make 3-D effects you must find a way to project two slightly different pictures to each eye. Modern 3-D technology works by rapidly flickering(闪动) two versions of the movie and projecting them onto each eye. The brain does the rest of the work, combining the two pictures together into one and giving the show the appearance of depth, the third dimension.
But does this exposure, especially long exposures, cause harm to the child’s developing brain and visual system? Unfortunately, long-term studies on new flicker digital 3-D technology and children aren’t yet available. We do not know if regular or daily 3-D viewing over years affects the developing visual system, although older 3-D methods basically do the same thing and are not considered harmful.
The question of possible harm in modern 3-D use in TV is really based on two facts: the amount of time children will now be watching 3-D TV each day and the sensitivity some children show in reaction to 3-D viewing. It is difficult to make actual lab studies of longer term 3-D viewing in children because of the possible harm of the experiment. Researchers will have to wait until 3-D TV technology is already in the marketplace for a number of years, then check heavy 3-D TV watchers and compare them with non-watchers.
With a 3-D television technology in the home, we will soon be able to answer the question of whether or not longer and more frequent periods of 3-D exposure cause more changes in the visual system. We may find that the bigger problem is the introduction of a new technology that leads to even more time spent on TV rather than playing outdoors.
【1】According to the text, 3-D technology ______
A. was refused by people when it first appeared.
B. will soon change the way we watch TV.
C. does no good to our visual system.
D. has a history of nearly 200 years.

A. how 3-D technology works.

D. the influence of 3-D technology.

A. To wait and see B. To carry out lab studies
C. To stop making 3-D movies D. To improve 3-D technology
【4】The author’s purpose in writing the text is to _______
A. ask children not to watch 3-D movies
B. discuss if 3-D viewing is harmful to children.
C. introduce the advantages of 3-D technology.
D. predict the development of 3-D technology.

Is it wrong to use someone else’s wireless(Wi-Fi) connection?Just recently,a man was arrested for doing just that.At that time,he was sitting in the street with a laptop(便携式电脑)and using an unsecured(无安全保护措施)wireless connection to surf the Net.What do you think about this topic?Listen to the following different views on it.
For a start,if someone is using your Internet service or downloading,this will affect your speed of access or download limit.Also,it’s bad for Internet service providers.They will suffer in the long run because fewer people will pay for an Internet service if they know they can get it for free.And finally,just imagine this:what if the person who is stealing your Internet connection is involved in an illegal activity?I think the police are totally right to arrest these criminals.
—by Sandra Wilkins
Basically,if the person who paid for the service still has everything they paid for,what’s the problem?It’s just like using the light from streetlamps to read your book,or watching someone else’s firework display.It’s not stealing.
Also,if you leave your wireless connection unsecured,then it is your own fault(过错)if someone else uses it.Just as you wouldn’t leave your front door unlocked,or your car door open,neither should you leave your wireless connection open.By leaving your wireless connection open,you are inviting people to use it.Securing your wireless connection is as easy as clicking a few settings on your router(路由器).And finally,haven’t the police got more important crimes to solve?They’re always saying how they haven’t got the manpower to solve real issues.But this is just ridiculous(荒谬的).

23、 Since it never occurred to anybody at the school to provide the services of an interpreter, I had to sit in the front row so that I could read the teacher’s lips. Classroom discussions were virtually impossible to follow because I couldn’t hear what was being said around the room. In a vain effort to keep up with them, I was always asking whoever happened to be sitting next to me what was being said. Eventually, I got tired of watching everyone shrug their shoulders indifferently and rolling their eyes. I began to pretend that I knew what was going on. Fitting in was so important to me that every time the kids laughed, I laughed along even though I felt muddle-headed most of the time.
Luckily then fate threw me light.
On one sunny afternoon, my teacher, Mrs. Jordan, asked the class a question. I read her lips from my front-row seat and immediately raised my hand. I couldn’t believe it — despite my fears, I felt incredibly confident because — for once — I was sure I had the right answer. But, when she called on me, I was suddenly afraid. Here was an opportunity to impress the powerful teacher and show her I was worthy of her love. I didn’t want to blow it. I took a deep breath and nervously answered her question.
Her explosive response shocked all of us. She enthusiastically stepped her right foot on the floor, pointing directly at me. With sparkling eyes and a wide smile she cried, “THAT’S RIGHT, STEPHEN!”
For the first time in my young life, I felt like an instant star. My heart burst with pride. My confidence soared. It was amazing what a great effect the simple three-word phrase delivered with incredible enthusiasm had on my young life. THAT’S RIGHT, STEPHEN! It got me to think that I would make a place for myself in this world no matter how many obstacles I had to overcome. From that day, my grades and speech improved dramatically and my peers suddenly looked at me with new respect.

【3】What can be inferred about Mrs. Jordan?
A.She was born with creativity. B.She changed the author’s life.
C.She was strict with her students. D.She was a woman of hot temper.
【4】What could be the best title for the text?

24、
Born in Australia without arms or legs,30yearold Nick Vujicic has become an international symbol of victory.His life has been filled with one hurdle after the next.But you’ll hear no selfpity from Vujicic,whose book,Unstoppable,was published last month.“My limbless challenge remains.I cannot change that,”says Vujicic,who counts skydiving and surfing among his hobbies.“But what I can,and did change is my attitude.”
It is Vujicic’s spirit that has made him a sellout speaker,traveling the world to share his story.Describing low points in his life,including a suicide attempt at age 10 and a failing business in his 20s,he says the “three F’s” are what got him through:friends,family and faith.“I can honestly say,the fear of being alone during the most difficult times in my life was worse than living without arms and legs...Hard times make you humble(卑微).You realize that you do need people to help you when you are not able to do it all yourself.”
A few years ago,confronted with the increasing business debt,Vujicic says he nearly gave up to selfdestructive thoughts.But he set small goals:Get out of bed,eat breakfast,leave the house.Those small successes built his confidence to move forward to the next level.“There is nothing about failure that is easy,”he says.“But it is also true that our failures in life teach us to embrace every small victory.Success is that much sweeter when you have struggled to reach it.”
Family and friends are a safety net,including wife Kanae who is expecting their first child.“My parents always taught me,‘You don’t know what you are able to do until you try,’” he recalls.“The first time you fail at anything is painful.But you have a decision:Do you give up or do you try again?”
