23、The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we’ve never been before.
But just as in face to face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line.【1】Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes.
For anything you’re about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the person’s face?” if the answer is no, rewrite and reread.【2】
If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so.【3】If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.
【4】Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether it’s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If it’s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn’t give you license to correct everyone else. 【5】At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.
It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital status. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don’t ask such questions.
A．It’s natural that there are some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online.
B．Repeat the process till you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying the words to the person’s face.
C．Everyone was new to the network once.
D．The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated.
E．When you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to hear.
F．You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages.
G．If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely.
24、If you want to improve your child’s results at school, you could do a lot worse than ensuring that they do plenty of exercise．Scientists have already shown that physical activity can make you brainier．But a team in America has used scans to show that an important part of the brain actually grows in children who are fit．These youngsters tend to be more intelligent and have better memories than those who are inactive．
Scientists also found that one of the most important parts of their brains was 12 percent larger than those of unfit children．They believe that encouraging children to take exercise from a very young age could help them do better at school later．Researchers from the University of Illinois, in the U．S．, studied the brains of 49 children aged nine and ten using a magnetic resonance imaging scan （核磁共振摄影扫描）, a technique which provides very detailed pictures of organs and tissues in the body．
They also tested the fitness levels of the children by making them run on a treadmill （跑步机）．The scientists found that the hippocampus, a part of the brain responsible for memory and learning, was around 12 percent larger in the fitter children．
Professor Art Kramer, who led the study published in the journal Brain Research, said the findings had important implications for encouraging individuals to take part in sport from a young age．“We knew that experience and environmental factors and socioeconomic status all impact brain development,” he said．“If you get some terrible genes from your parents, you can’t really fix that, and it’s not easy to do something about your economic status．But here’s something that we can do something about．”

A. it is worse to ensure that they do plenty of exercise

26、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Seniority in Promotion Is Not a Wise Business Practice
It's not always an easy decision for companies when it comes to filling managerial spots. In the past promoting an employee has been popularly handled by means of basic analysis of the employees' past performance nod seniority, In some cases, the individual's performance has been considered more important while in others the amount of time they have been with the company has been the deciding factor. Nevertheless, seniority is a standard that has never been left out, However, in the contemporary business world, the importance of seniority in promotion is being destroyed as a growing number of companies look outside of their organizations when trying to fill top managerial spots.
Unlike experienced employees who have been with the company for a long time, new people are mare likely generate creative ideas. In rapidly changing markets, innovative and creative talents are sought by many companies in order to adapt to the market. To meet their needs, companies have more to gain by selecting outside employees since they are more willing to try new techniques and less afraid of breaking tradition when introducing new ideas. Thus, rather than promoting existing employees, it might be a wiser management decision to bring in outside talent.
An additional advantage to this new system is that it prevents employees from feeling that they only need to wait for their seniority to provide them with a promotion. Simply put no matter how long they have been with the company, employees have to contribute diligently to the organization if they want to move up the career ladder, As soon as people realize that the company could just as easily bring in a new person, employees will stop judging themselves against each other because they are no longer competing against their colleagues but everyone in the entire industry. As a result, they will begin to show more effort to bring the level of their work up to what they imagine is a much higher standard.
