Women are now as likely to use the Internet as men―about twothirds of both genders yet a new study shows that gaps remain in what each sex does online.

  American men who go online are more likely than women to check the weather,the news,sports,political and financial information,the Pew Internet and American Life Project reported Wednesday. They are also more likely to use the Internet to download music and software and to take a class.

  Online women,meanwhile,are bigger users of email,and they are also more likely to go online for religious information and support for health or personal problems.

  "For men,it's just, ' Give me the facts, , " said Deborah Fallows,who wrote the report based on six years of Pew surveys. "For women,it's ' Let's talk about this. Are you worried about this problem?' It's keeping in touch and connecting with people in a richer way."  

  The surveys find that for many activities,such as getting travel information or looking up a phone number,men and women are equally likely to use the Internet.

  A survey from March,for instance,found that 54 percent of online men use the Internet for jobrelated research,compared with 48 percent of female Internet users. A September survey found 94 percent of online women sending email,compared with 88 percent of men.

  Women also were more likely to use email to write friends and relatives about news,worries,advice and planning. They were also more likely to credit email for improving relationships with friends,family and colleagues. Men,on the other hand,were more likely to participate in interest groups,such as fan clubs.

(   ) 1. What is the passage mainly about?

   A. To tell us why men and women use the Web slightly differently.

   B. To show us some facts how men and women use the Web.

   C. To show how women use the Web.

   B. More men like to find jobs,talk and check information online.

   C. In general,the differences between men and women to use the Internet are big.

   D. The differences of using the Web between men and women don't exist at every aspect.

 In white shirt,blue pants,black cloth shoes and two pigtails,Jingqiu gives off an air of great "pure beauty" in Zhang Yimou's new movie Under the Hawthorn Tree.

  The film tells the story of the sad romance of Jingqiu and a handsome young man named Laosan. Set at the end of the "cultural revolution" (1966-1976) ,the pair managed to fall in love although they came from different political environments.

  Before it was released,moviegoers speculated on just what this "pure beauty" could be. Director Zhang complained of how long it had taken him to find the right girl for the part of Jingqiu―a character so innocent that she believed simply lying on the same bed with a man would make her pregnant.

  It was 18-year-old Zhou Dongyu who stood out from the crowd. According to Zhang,Zhou had "eyes that are clear like a fountain on a mountainside". Born of an ordinary worker's family,the Shijiazhuang girl was in her final year of high school and working hard for a place in an art college.

  While some teenagers consider such " pure beauty" illusory,others believe that it speaks of something soulful.

  Purity is all about the innocence that shines through from within,thinks 16-year-old Tan Mengxi of Nanjing.

  "Being pure can be simple,not having complicated thoughts and being inexperienced. However,it doesn't mean an ignorant or naive person. So,a person is pure in his or her nature if he or she is always enthusiastic and able to deal with difficult matters independently. This purity doesn't pass with time," she said. 

(   ) 5. What image does Jingqiu give to audiences in the movie Under the Hawthorn Tree"!

   A. A simple girl. B. A pure girl.

   C. A romantic girl. D. A silent girl.

(   ) 6. What kind of girls looks pure according to the passage?

   A. A girl in white shirt,blue pants,black cloth shoes and two pigtails.

   B. A girl has eyes that are clear like a fountain on a mountainside.

   C. A girl who was born into an ordinary worker's family.

   D. A girl wears accessories and makeup.

(   ) 7. What's the opinion of Tan Mengxi about purity?

   A. It is of whether someone is ignorant or naive.

   B. Being pure can be simple,not having complicated thoughts and being inexperi?enced.

   C. It is of whether someone is always enthusiastic.

   D. Purity is a matter of internal quality and doesn't pass with time.

(   ) 8. Which do you think is the best title for the passage?

   A. What Makes a Pure Girl?

   B. A Debate on the Movie Under the Hawthorn Tree

   C. Opinions on the Character Jingqiu

   D. It's Hard to Find the Character Jingqiu

 I just sat still and didn't say anything while my husband and I were informed that two-year-old Kristi was retarded (智力遲頓的) .

  When Kristi was old enough to attend school,we enrolled her in our neighborhood school's kindergarten at age seven. However,positive things began to happen to Kristi in her school,and to her schoolmates,too. When boasting (自夸) of their own accomplishments,Kristi's classmates always praised her as well; "Kristi got all her spelling words right today." No one added that her spelling list was easier than anyone else's.

  Dunng Kristi's second year in school,there was a competition based on the year's music and physical education activities. Kristi was far behind in both music and motor coordination (運(yùn)動協(xié)調(diào)) .My husband and I feared the day as well.

On the day of the program,Kristi pretended to be sick. Desperately I wanted to keep her home. But at last I pushed her onto the school bus.

  Just as I had forced my daughter to go to school, now I forced myself to go to the program. When it was time for Kristi' s group to perform, I knew why Kristi had been worried. Her class was divided into relay teams. With her limp and slow,clumsy reactions,she would surely hold up her team.

  The performance went surprisingly well,until it was time for the gunnysack (黃麻袋) race. Now each child had to climb into a sack from a standing position,jump to a goal line,return and climb out of the sack.

  Kristi stood near the end of her line of players,looking nervous.

  But as Kristi's turn to participate neared,a change took place in her team. The tallest boy in the line stepped behind Kristi and placed his hands on her waist. Two other boys stood a little ahead of her. The moment the player in front of Kristi stepped from the sack,those two boys grabbed the sack and held it open while the tall boy lifted Kristi and dropped her neatly into it. A girl in front of Kristi took her hand and supported her briefly until Kristi gained her balance. Then off she jumped,smiling and proud.

  In the cheers of teachers,schoolmates and parents,I secretly thanked God for the warm,understanding people in life who make it possible for my disabled daughter to be like her fellow human beings.

(   ) 5. In the gunnysack race the second player should first         .

   A. climb into a sack   B. wait for another player

   C. climb out of the sack   D. jump to a goal line

   C. Ashamed and worried. D. Nervous and disappointed.

   A. Four children helped Kristi in the gunnysack race.

   B. Kristi went to kindergarten at the same age as other children.

   C. The other children and teachers treated Kristi as a normal child.

   D. Kristi was diagnosed to be retarded when she was two years old.

(   ) 8. We can learn from the passage that         .

   Rx Laughter is a nonprofit international charity. We research and implement (carry out) initiatives (計劃,措施) that use comedy and humor in the most helpful and sensitive ways possible. Our primary focus is on helping people of all ages who are suffering from very serious physical and emotional traumas (創(chuàng)傷) .

  Specifically,we believe that very funny standup comedy,movies and TV programs can be a very important,helpful part of medical,psychotherapeutic (心理療法的) ,educational and overall preventive health care from childhood through old age. We do this in uniquelydesigned ways,working closely with worldrenowned experts in the field of health care at major medical institutes internationally. Rx Laughter then puts these findings into practical usage. Briefly:

  Medical:Through our collaborative projects with major medical institutes such as the UCLA Jonsson Cancer Center,the Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Unit at the Mattel Children's Hospital? UCLA and The National Cancer Hospital & Adult Hospice in Thailand,we carefully design and implement research initiatives so that patients can be in less pain and have less fear,anxiety & depression―emotions that can overwhelm patients & their families during times of crisis.

  Educational:Led by the national Comedy SportzLA teams,this comedy show at their theater gives patients an opportunity for renewed selfconfidence,to learn a new skill,and to feel like a whole person again,not "a medical condition".

  Overall Preventive Care: With the rising costs of medical care and health insurance,preventive health care is more important than ever. If comedy viewing can keep us emotionally and physically healthier and help us deal with times of crisis in our lives,then we will have found a very potent,inexpensive prescription for healthy living.

  Thus,we encourage comedy,music and other forms of upbeat entertainment for patients and their support system to enjoy together,and we research how best to do this,so that comedy shows can be "prescribed" as a proven benefit to maintaining excellent health.

  Thank you for your interest in our charity.
