The Web as a Way of Life If you ask people today why they use mobile phones to communicate with their friends or why they turn to TV for entertainment they will look at you as if you are crazy. These things have become such an integral part of life that they are no longer noticed, let alone remarked on. In the same way, within a decade no one will notice the web. it will be just there. It will be a way of life. People will use it for shopping, education, entertainment and communication. They will invent new uses for it. A change like this is generational. Old people have to learn something about new things outside their everyday life, while kids who grow up with a new technology simply treat it as given. In the future, everyone’s business card will have an email address. Every lawyer, every doctor and every business-from large to small-will be connected. On the other hand, the variety of activities on the web will be broadening at an amazing rate. You can find all kinds of interesting materials on the web. Many sites will have a huge traffic flow. People will trade the time they now spend reading the paper or watching TV for time spent surfing the web. Americans, particularly young Americans, will spend less time in front of the TV, and more on the web. We usually overestimate what we can do in two years and underestimate what we can do in ten. The web will be as much a way of life as the car by 2008 and probably before. 【小题1】The web will be an integral part of life because ________. A. we will use it to do lots of things B. it will replace the TV C. we won’t notice it is there D. it will help us to lead better lives 【小题2】In the future ________. A. all business cards will have email addresses B. doctors and lawyers will not use the web C. traffic will be controlled on the web D. all business will be done on the web 【小题3】According to the last paragraph it can be most probably inferred that ________.

When Michael Phelps announced his retirement at the 2016 Rio Olympics he really had no intention of swimming competitively again. However, that changed when he approached the Discovery Channel to help kick off Shark Week with a race against one of the world’s fastest and most efficient shark-a great white! On Sunday, July 23 at 7:00 p. m., over five million viewers tuned in to watch the competition. While television viewers saw the competitors swimming side by side, in reality, Phelps raced by himself in the cold Allantic waters off of Cape Town, South Africa. The Discovery Channel film crew then inserted his computer-made competitor simulating (模拟) a real shark’s speed, which was estimated by attracting a great white with a fake seal over the same 100-meter stretch of the Allantic. Though Phelps managed to complete the distance in an impressive 38.1 seconds, 9.41 seconds faster than his personal best of 47.51 seconds, he was no match for the great shark, which clocked 56. I seconds. Like a true champion, the fish celebrated the victory by leaping out of the water. Phelps, meanwhile, took the loss in good humor, saying: “Remaleh? Nexttime ...warmer water.” The swimmer later said/4Honestly, the first thought that went through my head when I saw the shark, is that there’s probably very little chance for me to beat him. While some fans were disappointed that Phelps did not race a live shark in the ocean, organizing that would have been dangerous for the swimmer. Besides, Discovery Channel’s aim in organizing the competition was to cause excitement and interest in sharks. Considering that it was the highest Shark Week special in the program’s 29-year history, they surely succeeded. 【小题1】What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. His intention to swimming. B. His original idea. C. His decision to quit swimming. D. His ranking in the Olympics. 【小题2】What can we infer about the competition? A. People were very satisfied with it. B. It successfully attracted a lot of attention. C. Phelps completed the race alone in warm water. D. The shark swam 9.41 seconds faster than Phelps. 【小题3】What might be the best title for the text? A. A Special Champion Swimmer B. A Race Between a Brave Man and a Real Shark C. Michael Phelps Races a “White Shark” D. Michael Phelps and Discovery Channel Join Hands |

Most parents fear getting letters home from their children’s school. They are usually informing them that their child is in big trouble.

There are many ways of being smart. You are smart!” The letter has been welcomed by many parents on Facebook.
