It was a sunny summer day last year when I got the news that I was admitted by the university.
Soon the news spread all over the village. Hearing the news, my parents were more than(不止) happy: big smiles formed on their faces. But behind their happiness and pride for my success, I noticed my parents worries about the heavy financial burden on their shoulders. I kept being calm.
In order to prepare for my study expenses, my parents worked hard day after day all that summer. And the day finally came when I had to go to school which was far away from my hometown. I still remember it was in the morning that we arrived at the bus station. My parents had helped me get everything ready. It was so hot that day: the scorching sun baked the ground dry. The heated air was filled with the crowds’ noise and all kinds of smells coming from the station. Sweat streamed down my parents’face. I took my seat on the 11 AM bus and looked at my parents through the window, waiting for the bus to start. Two minutes to 11:00！ My heart leapt (強(qiáng)烈跳動). I suddenly recalled all the efforts they made for me, all the energy and all the sweat they spent on me. They were so selfless! I almost burst into tears! While I kept my tears back, I turned around, for I didn’t want them to see me crying…
The last moment came. The bus started and was moving further away from my parents. They waved at me and I turned toward them, watching their shadows disappearing gradually into the sea of people. I, an 18-year-old girl, who had never left my hometown, began my long trip to my school.
I didn’t know what would the future be, but I knew that I would have a long way to go, and I believe I could be brave enough to take up all the challenges in my future life with my family’s love, their wordless and selfless love.
I will be always thankful for this love.

My job was to make classroom observations and encourage a training program that would enable students to feel good about themselves and take charge of their lives. Donna was one of the volunteer teachers who participated in this  36 .
One day, I entered Donna’s classroom, took a seat in the back of the room and   37 .All the students were working on a task. The student next to me was filling her page with “I Can’ts.” “I can’t kick the soccer ball.” “I can’t get Debbie to like me.” Her page was half full and she showed no    38   of stopping. I walked down the row and found   39  was writing sentences, describing things they couldn’t do.
By this time the activity aroused my    40   , so I decided to check with the teacher to see what was going on,    41    I noticed she too was busy writing “I can’t get John’s mother to come for a parents’ meeting.” …I felt it best not to interrupt.
After another ten minutes, the students were instructed to fold the papers in half and bring them to the front. They placed their “I Can’t” statements into an empty shoe box. Then Donna   42    hers. She put the lid on the box, tucked it under her arm and headed out the door.
Students followed the teacher. I followed the students. Halfway down the hallway Donna got a shovel(鏟子) from the tool house, and then marched the students to the farthest corner of the playground. There they began to    43  . The box of “I Can’ts” was placed at the    44   of the hole and then quickly covered with dirt. At this point Donna announced, “Boys and girls, please join hands and     45    your heads.” They quickly formed a circle around the grave.
Donna delivered the eulogy(悼詞).“Friends, we gathered here today to honor the memory of ‘I Can’t.’ He is   46  by his brothers and sisters ‘I Can’ and ‘I Will’. May ‘I Can’t’ rest in    47  . Amen!”
She turned the students    48    and marched them back into the classroom. They celebrated the    49    of “I Can’t”. Donna cut a large tombstone from paper. She wrote the words “I Can’t ”at the top and the date at the bottom, then hung it in the classroom. On those rare occasions when a student forgot and said, “I Can’t,” Donna    50    pointed to the paper tombstone. The student then remembered that “I Can’t” was dead and chose other statement.

One of the founding fathers of the internet has predicted the end of traditional television. Vint Serf, who helped to build the internet while working as a researcher in America, said that television was approaching its “iPod moment.”
In the same way that people now download their favorite music onto their iPods, he said that viewers would soon be downloading most of their favorite programmers onto their computers. “85 percent of all video we watch is pre-recorded, so you can set your system to download it at any time,”said Mr. Cerf, who is now the vice-president of Goggle.
“You’re still going to need live television for certain things--like news, sporting events and emergencies--but increasingly it will be almost like iPod, where you download content to look at later.”
Although television-on-demand has not yet become a main activity in the UK, the BBC, 1TV and Channel 4 have all invested a lot of money in technology which Mr. Cerf think will enable viewers to watch their favorite shows on their computers.
However, some critics(批評家)have warned that the Internet will collapse(崩潰)if millions of people try to download programmers at the same time.
Over the next four years, scientists think the number of videos watched over the Internet will double, with people moving from short chips to hour-long programmes.
Broadband companies claim that the service will cause“traffic jams”,which will cost millions of pounds to solve. Mr. Cerf dismissed these warnings, saying that critics had predicted 20 years ago that the net would collapse when people all around the world started to use it at the same time, “We’re far from exhausting (用盡)the capacity,” he said.“I want every one of the six billion people in the planet to be able to connect to the Internet.”
61.Vint Cerf is all the following EXCEPT that ___________.
A. a researcher in the United States
B. the vice-president of Goggle
C. one of the founders of the Internet
D. a manager of a broadband company
62. Which of the following is NOT something Vint Cerf has predicted?
A. Traditional television will soon have its iPod moment.
B. The number of videos watched over the Internet will double.
C. Viewers will be able to download TV programmers onto their iPods.
D. Viewers will be able to watch their favorite TV shows on the Internet.
63. According to the passage, people can always do all the following EXCEPT ____________.
A. watch short clips over the Internet
B. download live TV over the Internet
C. download per-recorded videos over the Internet
D. listen to their favorite music on their computers
64. Some critics are now predicting __________.
A. the Internet will collapse if millions of people use it at the same time
B. people all over the world will be able to connect to the Internet
C. the Internet will crash if  too many people download TV programmes at the same time
D. the videos people watch over the Internet
65. This passage mainly tells us __________.
A. a Goggle expert is predicting the end of traditional television
B. the Internet will never be used to download people's favourite shows
C. the Internet will become more popular
D. something about Vint Cerf

　　Russian President Putin named Time magazine’s“Person of the Year”
　　Russian President Vladimir Putin was named Time magazine’s“Person of the Year”on December 19th.2007 for strengthening stability（穩(wěn)定）that made Russia a world power again.
　　The magazine recognized Putin’s“extraordinary feat（技藝）of leadership in taking a country that was in a mess and bringing it stability，”said Richard Stengel，Time’s managing editor.
　　The magazine noted that“Person of the Year”is not an honor or an endorsement（認(rèn)可）but a recognition of leadership that shapes the world.
　　Putin，who is 56 years old，is very popular in Russia，making a great effort to cause economy to come to life on revenue（收入）from oil and natural gas.
　　Putin recently supported vice-PM Dmitry Medvedev’s presidential bid，and said he would accept Medvedev’s offer to serve as prime minister if Medvedev is elected on March 2.
　　The Kremlin said Wednesday the Time recognition was seen there as an acknowledgement of Putin’s role in helping Russia pull out of its social and economic troubles in the 1990s.
　　Others considered for“Person of the Year”included Nobel Prize-winner Al Gore and author J.K. Rowling.
　　This year’s choice was a return to the magazine’s tradition of picking an individual rather than last year’s choice of“You”，which refers to anyone creating or using content on the World Wide Web.
　　Putin is the fifth Russian（or Soviet）leader to be named Person of the Year：Gorbachev，Andropov，Khrushchev and Stalin，who was named twice.
55．How did Putin try to make Russia a world power again？
