Top Four Marathons Portland Marathon The marathon welcomes 8, 000 people every fall. It’s a great event for first-timers because everyone is cheered on with enthusiasm no matter how long it takes to cross the finish line. The time limit for the full marathon is now at a pace of minutes per mile, or 6 hours and 33 minutes, but in the past it had an open time limit. They promise you’ll still receive your medal if you fall behind the pace, but you have to finish using the sidewalks. TCS New York City Marathon As the world’s biggest marathon, the TCS New York City Marathon attracts over 50,000 people to the Big Apple each November. The time limit is generous eight and a half hours, but participants must move to the sidewalk if they drop below 15-minute mile. The famous course snakes through five boroughs (行政区) of the city and crosses five bridges to end in Central Park. Honolulo Marathon The marathon attracts over 30,000 participants each December. The race starts on Ala Moana Boulevard in downtown Honolulu and snakes its way along the breathtaking Hawaiian coastline to the finish line in Kapiolani Park.

I am an email user. When I first started to use the email system, I used to read all my email. I didn’t have much mail. I gave my friends my email address. Soon I had more mail than I wanted. Some of the mail was junk mail. I was worried. I didn’t want my mail to control me. I’ve tried some methods to help me get control of my mail. First, I check my mail at the same time every day. Also I try to allow myself only 15～20 minutes every day to process my email. This doesn’t always work, but I try. Sometimes I save the messages. Sometimes I just read them, maybe answer a few, and then delete(删除) them. Sometimes I’m not at all interested in a message, so I don’t even open it. I delete it right away. This is very much the way I go through the mail that the postal service delivers to my home. These methods are very simple. I have some friends who are very clever with computers. From time to time，they teach me new tricks for managing my email. I’m still amazed at what email can do for me!

Before you make friends, you have to decide who you want to be your friends. Most people like to have friends who like to do the same kind of things they do. The quickest way to make a friend is to smile. When you smile, people think you are friendly and easy to talk to. It may not be easy at first to smile, but remember most people will stay away from a scared or angry looking face. One easy way to start a conversation with someone is to say something nice about him. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn’t it make you want to keep talking to that person? Ask your new friends questions about themselves. Who’s their favorite singer, where do they live, what do they do after school are all good questions to start a conversation. Make sure you have something to add to the conversation, too. When someone asks you a question, do have an answer for them. There’s nothing that will stop a conversation quicker than a shrug (耸肩) for an answer. Kids who show an interest in other kids and who are kind and friendly make good friends. Remember, everyone wants to be around people who like to do similar things and people who are nice to them. 【1】This passage gives us some advice on _________. A.how to make friends B.what kind of person you can make friends with C.how to start a conversation D.the importance of smile 【2】Most people like to make friends with those______. A.who are sad every day. B.who share the same interest C.who are fond of talking D.who say bad things to them 【3】According to the third paragraph, most people enjoy talking to one _______.

One of my earliest memories was watching my mum talk on our old phone. I was fascinated (着迷的) that she could talk to someone who wasn’t actually in the room with her. 【1】I was wondering how she managed to talk with someone she couldn’t see. 【2】 Later, we had mobile phones that could be carried around the room. Then came computers and smart-phones. These days I can send an e-mail around the world in a second. My daughter’s smartphone has a hundred apps and a dozen social media accounts. She stores all of her information in a mysterious place known as “the cloud”, where she can take it out at any time. It seems that we are more connected in this world than ever before. However, what bothers me is that we rarely associate with (来往) each other nowadays. 【3】Instead of looking into the eyes of our loved ones, we stare at our screens. It seems as if the most connected generations are also the loneliest. Don’t let technology take our time and ruin our life. Make time to meet, to pray and to communicate with each other. Take a walk on the beach with a friend. Have a long conversation with the phones off and the hearts on. 【4】 Remember that we are here to love each other, help each other and make this world a better place. 【5】But when it can’t, turn it off. A.That was a long time ago. B.Connect offline as well as online. C.Few take the time to talk face to face. D.Smartphones have both advantages and disadvantages.

In addition, the Internet has introduced a new meeting place—the social networking site (SNS). In the United States, MySpace. com is one of 【3】 largest social networking sites with over 100 million users. Unlike some sites that require a special 【4】 (invite) to join, MySpace is open to everyone over the age of 14. Users create their own profile page. They can decide whether they want to make their profile available only to friends 【5】to all users. Many people prefer using SNS 【6】 (stay) in touch with friends and meet new people. Instead of 【7】(ask) for a phone number or e-mail address, asking for someone's MySpace profile is becoming a much more popular question. For many, these sites have made a positive difference in their lives by widening their social circles. However, some people have found social networking sites carry some 【8】(risk). There are stories of bosses offering a job and then changing their mind after checking the person's 【9】(person) profile on the Internet. So 【10】 is important to think about the type of information you include on your profile page. |
