Bill Gates, the worlds richest man, agrees.When he was a little kid, Gates was silent and hated to talk with others. He spent m

3、ost of his time alonereading books and thinking. To help his son, Gates father held familymeetings and let him play simple games with family members. “These activities seemed silly but they improved my leading and working-together abilities,” Gates said later.While mothers offer a more gentle kind o

4、f love, fathers teach qualities like independence（独立）, confidence, courage and adventure.

8、ren. C. How Bill Gates became the richest man.D. The possible dangers of children without fathers.CWhat is time? Is it a thing to be saved or spent or wasted, like money? Or is it something we have no control over, like the weather? Is it the same all over the world? Thats an easy question you say.

9、Wherever you go, a minute is 60 seconds, an hour is 60 minutes, a day is 24 hours, and so fourth. Well,maybe. But in America, time is more than that. Americans see time as a valuable resource. Maybe thats why they are fond of the expression, “Time is money.” Because Americans believe time is a limit

10、ed resource, they try to keep and manage it. People in the US often attend conferences or read books on time management. It seems they all want to organize their time better. Professions carry around pocket planners (计划书) some in electronic form to keep track of appointments and deadlines. People do

11、 all they can to press more life out of their time.To Americans, being on time is a way of showing respect for other peoples time. Being more than 10 minutes late to an appointment usually calls for an apology ( 道 歉 ) and an explanation. People who are running late often call ahead to let others kno

12、w of the delay. Of course, the less formal the situation, the less important it is to be exactly on time. At informal gets-together, for example, people often arrive as 30 minutes past the appointed time. But they usually dont try that work.Americans lifestyles show how much people respect the time

13、of others. When people plan an event, they often set time days or weeks in advance. Once this time is fixed, it takes almost an emergency to change it. If people want to come to your house for a friendly visit, they will usually call first to make sure it is convenient. Only very close friends will

14、just “drop by” unannounced. Also, people hesitate to call others late at night for fear they might be in bed. The time may vary, but most folks think twice about calling after 10:00 pm.Even Americans would admit that no one can master time. Time, like money, slips all too easily through our finger.

15、And time, like the weather, is very hard to predict. However, time is one of lifes most valuable gifts.51.From Paragraph 1, we can learn that .E. Americans waste lots of money and timeF. People can only control 60 minutes a dayG. Americans regard time as something valuableH. Money is more important

16、than time in America52.In paragraph 3 and paragraph 4, the writer mainly tells us that .I. Americans respect others time in daily lifeJ. Americans never call after 10:00K. Americans visit friends without calling firstL. Americans arrive days before an event 53.The underline phrase “drop by” probably

17、 means “ ”.A. give you a callB. plant an eventC. come to your houseD. have breakfast with you54.According to the passage, .M. Most Americans people treasure their timeN. People can master and predict time easilyO. Americans like time better anything elseP. People are supposed to be on time in all si

18、tuations55.This passage mainly talks about .A. all kinds of ways to spent timeB. how Americans treat timeC. some of the Americans lifestylesD. different opinions about timeDIs your TV connected to the Internet? What about your chair or your fridge? It is possible that they are not. But in the future

19、, most things in your home may be connected, as the so-called “Internet of things” is developing.The Internet of things may be coming sooner than you think. It is reported that during his speech earlier this year, Samsung CEO（首席执行官）BK Yoon spent a lot of time talking about the Internet of things. He

20、 said that five years from now, every Samsung product will be part of the Internet of things, whether its washing machine or a vacuum cleaner（吸尘器）.So, how do household（家用）objects that are part of Internet of things work? Well, think of a usual chair. When connected to the Internet the chair warms up

21、 when it knows that the user has just walked into the room and is feeling cold.An Internet-connected camera, like a smart-home camera, could help people feel safer in their homes. It can recognize（ 识 别 ）peoples faces, and even can see when someone passes by in the dark. Then it can send you a messag

22、e on your smartphone to let you know whos there. If the person is someone you dont know, it can tell you that, too.But according to MIT Technology Review, whether companies are connecting dog food bowls or security（ 安 全 ）systems to the Internet, there may be problems. For examples, many early connec

23、ted-home devices （装置） dont have much built-in security, which means they could be hacked（被黑客攻击）. In addition, it could be difficult to get these devices to work together because they are made by different companies. To fight this, many companies have joined the Open Interconnect Consortium, which ha

24、d 45members by late 2014.So, picture this: you walk in through the front door of your home. The temperature changes to make you feel comfortable after a long day at school. Your favorite music starts playing for you. Do you think that this would be a good thing? It may happen sooner than you think.5

78、 about their childrenCStonehenge, a rock circle, is not only one of Britains most famous places but also one of its greatest mysteries(谜). Every year it receives more than 750,000 visitors. People like to go to this place especially in June as they want to see the sun rising on the longest day of th

79、e year. For many years, historians(历史学家) believed Stonehenge was a temple where ancient leaders tried to communicate with the gods. However, historian Paul Stoker thinks this cant be true because Stonehenge was built so many centuries ago. “The leaders arrived in England much later,” he points out.

80、Another popular idea is that Stonehenge might be a kind of calendar. The large stones were put together in a certain way. On midsummers morning, the sun shines directly into the center of the stones. Other people believe the stones have a medical purpose. They think the stones can prevent illness an

81、d keep people healthy. “As you walk there, you can feel the energy from your feet move up your body,” said one visitor. No one is sure what Stonehenge was used for, but most agree that the position of the stones must be for a special purpose. Some think it might be a burial(埋葬) place or a place to r

82、emember ancestors(祖先). Others think it was built to celebrate a victory over an enemy. Stonehenge was built slowly over a long period of time. Most historians believe it must be almost 5,000 years old. One of the greatest mysteries is how it was built because the stones are so big and heavy. In 2001

83、, a group of English volunteers tried to build another Stonehenge, but they couldnt. “We dont really know who built Stonehenge,” says Paul Stoker. “And perhaps we might never know, but we do know they must have been hard-working and great planners!”32.

87、e eye doctors say this leads to an increase (增加) in “computer vision syndrome” (电脑视力综合症).Nathan Bonilla-Warford in Tampa, Florida has seen an increase in problems in children. “Many more children come into the office 36 because their parents have noticed that they have headaches or red eyes, 36 beca

88、use their nearsightedness (近视) is increasing and they are worried,” he says.Dr. Bonilla-Warford says it is partly because children pay less attention to early warning signs than adults. “Even if their eyes start to feel uncomfortable, they choose not to tell their parents, because they dont want to

89、have the game or the computer or whatever taken away,” he explains.He says another part of the problem is that people blink (眨眼) less often when they use digital devices. He says, “A person who uses an electronic device blinks about one third as much as we do in everyday life. And that leads to the

90、eye drying and not staying protected as usual.”Eye doctors offer suggestions like following known as the 20/20/20 rule. That means every twenty minutes look away twenty feet or more for at least twenty seconds from whatever device youre using. Other suggestions include putting the device a bit farth

91、er and using good lighting. Of course, another way is to spend less time looking at screens. Many researchers say children should spend no more than two hours a day using digital devices with no screen time for children under two.But not all eye doctors have noticed an increase in problems in childr

92、en. Dr. David Hunter, from Childrens Hospital Boston, has not seen an increase in his practice. “Though it is possible to lead to fatigue looking at screens for a long period of time, there is no certain relationship between nearsightedness and using digital devices.” he says.36.
