A Way of Life for Students

  The Internet is a way of life for US college students, with research showing them to be one of the most connected groups.

  A recent study by Harris Interactive and 360 Youth found that 93 per cent of American college students visit the Internet, and this market is expected to grow from 15.2 million in 2003 to 16.4 million in 2007. That is slow but could be the result of the already high number of college Internet users.

  About 88 per cent of American college students own a computer and more than half broadband(寬帶)connections. Furthermore, 67 per cent own cell phones and 36 per cent use their mobile devices to visit the Internet. Study findings are that 42 per cent go online mainly to communicate socially, and 72 per cent of college students check emails at least once a day, with 66 per cent using at least two email addresses.

  The most popular online social activity is forwarding messages to friends or family, with 37 per cent of college students saying they do so. The study also looked beyond the Internet surfing(沖浪)habits and into the buying habits of this group, and found them responsible for more than US $ 210 billion in sales last year alone.

  College students have learned how to spend their money, with 93 per cent saying low prices were important when shopping.

  The study also showed that 65 per cent make loan(貨款)payments, 41 per cent of freshmen have a credit card; and 79 per cent of seniors have a credit card. A significant number of charges on these credit cards are likely to be for entertainment and leisure expenses.

(1) College students in the US, as this passage shows, ________.

[  ]

A.waste much time visiting the Internet

B.lead an exciting life by using the Internet

C.don't have to learn their lessons in their classrooms

D.spend too much time visiting the Internet

(2) We can find from the third paragraph, that in the US__________.

[  ]

A.most college students are from rich families

B.cell phones will take the place of computers in colleges

C.mobile phones make Internet life easy for college students

D.college students can have a computer from their colleges

(3) To communicate with friends, nearly half of the college students use____

[  ]

A.letters

B.telephones

C.text messages on mobile phones

D.emails

答案:B;C;D;
解析:

1.主旨判斷題。從文中對(duì)美國(guó)大學(xué)生活的描述來看,文中列舉了很多數(shù)據(jù)并告訴我們,他們可以在網(wǎng)上進(jìn)行不少活動(dòng),網(wǎng)絡(luò)成了其生活中不可缺少的一部分。

2.細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。第三段說美國(guó)大學(xué)生88%有電腦,一半以上有寬帶接口,67%有手機(jī),36 用手機(jī)上網(wǎng)等,從中可知C項(xiàng)是大學(xué)生活的一個(gè)特點(diǎn),而其他三項(xiàng)明顯不對(duì)。

3.推理判斷題。文中沒有提到寫信、打電話、發(fā)手機(jī)短信等交際方式,全文圍繞電腦、網(wǎng)絡(luò)、電子郵件等進(jìn)行描述。

My grandparents were married for over half a century, and played their own special game from the time they met each other. The goal of their game was to write the word “shmily” in a surprise place for the other to find.

“Shmily” was written in the steam left on the mirror after a hot shower, where it would reappear bath after bath. At one point, my grandmother even opened an entire roll of toilet paper to leave “shmily” on the very last sheet. Little notes with “shmily” scribbled (潦草地寫) hurriedly were found on dashboards (儀表板) and car seats, or taped to steering wheels.

It took me a long time before I was able to fully appreciate my grandparents’ game. Skepticism (懷疑態(tài)度) had kept me from believing in true love — one that is pure and lasting. However, I never doubted my grandparents’ relationship. They had love down pat. It was more than their flirtatious (愛調(diào)戲的) little games; it was a way of life. Their relationship was based on devotion and passionate love.

Grandma and Grandpa held hands every chance they could. They stole kisses as they bumped into each other in their tiny kitchen. They finished each other’s sentences and shared the daily crossword puzzle and word jumble. My grandma whispered to me about how cute my grandpa was, how handsome and old he had grown to be. She claimed that she really knew “how to pick ‘em.”

But there came a dark cloud into my grandparents’ life: when my grandmother got breast cancer. Gradually it took over the whole of her body. One day, what we all dreaded finally happened. Grandma was gone.

“Shmily.” It was scrawled in yellow on the pink ribbons of my grandmother’s funeral bouquet (花束). The family came forward and gathered around Grandma one last time. Grandpa stepped up to my grandmother’s casket (棺) and, taking a shaky breath, he began to sing to her. Through his tears and sadness, the song came, a deep and throaty lullaby (催眠曲,). Shaking with my own sorrow, I would never forget that moment.

S-h-m-i-l-y: See How Much I Love You.

The point of the article is to ________.

A. give advice on how to keep love fresh
