It must be something in the air as every company that possibly can is having a baby contest. Of course, babies are wonderful , and many parents would be the first to agree. Companies really bring in much money.

Walgreens Baby Contest

If you play the new Baby Milestones Challenge Contest by BabyCenter & Walgreens, you could be entered to win $1,000 in Walgreens & Beauty.com Gift Cards and Certificates. You can play the instant win to see if you get a $25 Walgreen’s gift card, but you have to plug in your email address and receive all their sales and other information for the contest.

Kids and Babies

Kids and Babies are accepting entries for May 2012 Free Photo Contest. Baby Photo Gallery with theme albums and age group albums is moved to the new website Cute Baby Gallery. Check KidsandBibs.com for their Baby Photo Contest blog’s latest update. Grand prize is $25,000. The catch: Winners are decided by the visitors coming to the site and voting for their favorite babies, so you have to advertise their site for them.

Parents.com

Perents.com has a website only for their members, but if you are into “baby” photos, it is well worth surfing. You could receive offers on free samples, money- saving coupons (優(yōu)惠券), and chances to win the latest contests.

We were disappointed to learn about Chrysler Dodge’s new car, the Viper. It must be the most ungreen car of recent years. It can carry only two people but it is extremely powerful, with a top speed of 165 mph. It will go from 0-60 mph in just four seconds. From our point of view, the worst feature is the petrol consumption: just 15miles per gallon. This is a car from the past, a gas-guzzler for people who want to show off and who don’t care about polluting the air.

.

                 ASTON MARTIN DB2/4(1975)

This car is a fine example of the power and elegance of the Aston Martin sports cars of the 1950s. It was developed from the earlier DB2, but this model was intended to give more room: if you look in the back window, you will see two small seats. But the main attraction of Aston Martins was their power: almost 200kph. 765 of these cars were manufactured between 1953 and 1959. This model was donated to the museum in 1986.

In the future, lorry drivers could be free to doze or read a newspaper as their vehicles travel along the motorways of the world, according to Mercedes-Benz. They say that lorries could travel on special lorry-only lanes, and that electronic safety systems would ‘read’ the road ahead, keep a safe distance between vehicles and set the speed. The driver would only take over when the lorry left the motorway and returned to normal roads. This vision of the future was explained at he Hanover Commercial Vehicle Show recently, at which Mercedes showed their EXT-92 experimental lorry of the future. Among the many features, the lorry would include a luxurious living area for the driver, complete with bunk bed, microwave cooker, television, telephone and fax machine.

The writer of passage 1 criticizes (批評(píng)) the Viper because______.

 A. he/she dislikes the colour    B. it is too small for most families

 C. it uses too much petrol and pollutes the air.

 D. it is very fast and will break the speed limit

The main purpose of Passage 2 is to______.

try to sell a second-hand car   B.explain why this car has four seats

   C.  give interesting information  D. describe a new car planned for the future

In Passage 3, the writer’s main purpose is to ______.

warn readers about a dangerous development

try to sell a new commercial vehicle

inform readers about future transport ideas   D.tell a silly story

Which of the following would be the best title for Passage 3?

The Dangers of Tired Drivers        B. Lorries which won’t need Drivers

C. Lorries which can Fly                D. The Lorry of the Future

If I have to choose three critical factors in achieving success in my career, these would be my choices—belief, action and discipline.
Belief
In order to achieve success in your career, you have to first believe. You need to believe that you can achieve it. You need to have faith in your goals and your path to success. Once your mind is convinced that you can do it, everything is possible. Belief is the “mind and heart” part of the three critical success factors.
Action
Nothing moves until you do something. Believing alone is not going to achieve anything. It must be followed up with concrete action. Your plan for career success is nothing unless you act upon it wholeheartedly. When you act upon what you believe, there is focus. And there is energy. That energy propels (drive forward) you to greater heights. Action is the “hands and legs” part of the three critical success factors.
Discipline（自制力）
Action in itself is not enough to increase the chances of success. But disciplined action would do that. One of the main reasons why people fail is that there is no discipline in their action. They give themselves excuses when they cannot consistently go ahead with their plans. You need some form of sacrifice（犧牲）if you want to achieve success in your career. That sacrifice takes discipline. Discipline also ensures that you can be persistent（堅(jiān)持的）, especially when you’re faced with challenges after challenges in your journey to success. Discipline is the “untiring, determined hands and legs” part of the three critical success factors.
When what you think, feel and do become one, there is nothing that can stop you from achieving career success

Topic
How can you 66___________in your career?
67________.        
Belief
1. You need to feel 68________.  About your goals and your path to success.

Action

2. You must devote all your 71. ______________so that you can reach greater heights.
Discipline

2. You need to 73.______________ something when you gain something.
3. You must be persistent when you are faced with 74. ________________.
75________
If you combine all the three factors, you are sure to achieve career success.

Most children now chat daily either online or through their mobile phones. They are connecting to a huge number of other children all over the world. Some are shy “in real life” but are confident to communicate with others online; others find support from people of their own age on relationship issues, or problems at home.

Sometimes the online world, just like the real world, can introduce problems, such as bullying or arguments. Going online is great fun, but there are also a few people who use the Internet for offensive (冒犯性的) or illegal aims. Children must be made aware of both the good things and the dangers.

To keep children safe your management must cover the family computer. Just as you decide which TV pro-grams are suitable, you need to do the same for the websites and chat rooms your children visit. Remind your children that online friends are still strangers. Re-minding them of the risks will keep them alert (警惕).

Computer studies are part of schoolwork now, so it’s likely that your children may know more than you do. We get left behind when it comes to the latest gad-gets and the interactive areas of websites, like chat rooms and message boards, which are especially strange. The language of chat is strange to many parents, too. Chatters love to use abbreviations (縮寫) such as: atb — all the best, bbfn — bye bye for now, cul8er — see you later, gr8 — great, Idk — I don’t know, imbl — it must be love, kit — keep in touch, paw — parents are watching, lol — laugh out loud, xlnt — excellent!

It seems like another language, and it is!

1.The passage is meant for ______.

A．parents                               B．children.

C．teachers                              D．net bar owners

2.The purpose of writing this passage is to advise ______.

A．people not to use the net language in real life

B．children not to meet online friends freely

C．teachers to have students study on computers

D．parents to protect their children from online dangers

3.In order to keep children safe online, you’d better ______.

A．forbid them to use the Internet

B．teach them to use correct net words

C．surf the Internet together with them

D．choose suitable websites and chat rooms for them

4.If you stand beside him when your son is chatting about something secret online, he may use ______.

A．bbfn             B．paw              C．lol               D．cul8er
