Antarctica is the coldest and windiest place in the world, even colder and windier than the North Pole.

Amazon. com was one of the first companies to try to sell products on the Internet. Jeff Bezos started the company. He was a successful vice—president of a company in New York. One day he predicted the future. He thought，“The World Wide Web is growing 200 percent a year. It's going to continue to grow. Shopping is going to move to the Internet.

This kind of bookstore was a new idea，but the business grew. In a few years，Amazon. com had 10 million different things in categories including books，CDs，toys，electronics，videos，DVDs，things you use to fix up a house，software，and video games. Today you can buy anything from food to gold rings at a“virtual shopping mall”，that is，a group of stores all over the world that works like group of stores all in one place.

Learning English grammar and English vocabulary can be hard enough, but trying to understand English sayings can be more difficult. Some are just hard to figure out and others don’t make any sense at all. Here are four funny English sayings that you can use every day.
I’m happy as a clam(蛤).
Think of a clam. It doesn’t have to do anything. It just sits on a beach or on the bottom of the ocean all day doing nothing. It never has to work. That sounds like happiness, doesn’t it? If someone asks, “How are you today?” you can answer “I am happy as a clam” to let him or her know what a great mood you are in.
I wouldn’t touch that (or him/her) with a ten-foot pole.
Maybe there is a person who you don’t want to be friends with or even talk to. Well, this saying means that you dislike him or her so much that you don’t want to touch or go near him or her, even within ten feet!
You don’t have a leg to stand on.
This saying doesn’t mean that the person you’re talking to has no legs. It means that his or her argument is incorrect. He or she doesn’t have a leg to stand on because he or she has no facts to support what he or she is saying. This saying is a good way to tell people that you think they’re wrong.
Break a leg!
This saying actually means the opposite of what it sounds like. If you tell this to a person, you’re wishing him or her good luck！The saying comes from a superstition(迷信) that whatever you say aloud, the opposite will come true.
小題1:The first paragraph mainly tells us____________________.
A．learning English grammar is hard
B．learning English vocabulary is hard
C．we should use English sayings every day
D．it can be harder to understand English sayings
小題2:Which of the following is TRUE about a clam?
A．It can be used to show happiness.B．It needs to do many things.
C．It needs to eat a lot.D．It can only live on the beach.
小題3:The saying “I wouldn’t touch him with a ten-foot pole” means___________.
A．I hate him.B．I want him to be my friend.
C．I like him.D．I want to argue with him.
小題4:We can learn from the passage that______________________.
A．the saying “You don’t have a leg to stand on” means someone loses his legs
B．the saying “Break a leg” means someone hurts his or her leg
C．if we say “Break a leg” to someone, we give him or her a good wish
D．if we say “I am ill” aloud, we will become healthy

Carmen Arace Middle School is situated in the pastoral town of Bloomfield, Conn., but four years ago it faced many of the same problems as inner-city schools in nearby Hartford: low scores on standardized tests and dropping enrollment（入學(xué)注冊）. Then the school’s hard-driving headmaster, Delores Bolton, persuaded her board to shake up the place by buying a laptop computer for each student and teacher to use, in school and at home. What’s more, the board provided wireless Internet access at school. Total cost: $2.5 million.
Now, an hour before classes start, every seat in the library is taken by students who cannot wait for getting online. Fifth-grade teacher Jen Friday talks about different kinds of birds as students view them at a colorful website. After school, students on buses pull laptops from backpacks to get started on homework. Since the computer arrived, enrollment is up 20%. Scores on state tests are up 35%.
Indeed, school systems in rural Maine and New York City also hope to follow Arace Middle School’s example. Governor Angus King had planned using $50 million to buy a laptop for all of Maine’s 17,000 seventh-graders – and for new seventh-graders each fall.
In the same spirit, the New York City board of education voted on April 12 to create a school Internet portal（入口）, which would make money by selling ads and licensing public school students. Profits（盈利）will also provide e-mail service for the city’s 1.1 million public school students. Profits will be used to buy laptops for each of the school system’s 87,000 fourth-graders. Within nine years, all students in grades 4 and higher will have their own computers.
Back in Bloomfield, in the meantime, most of the kinks have been worked out. Some students were using their computers to visit unauthorized（非法的）websites. But teachers have the ability to keep an eye on where students have been on the Web and to stop them. “That is the worst when they disable you,” says eighth-grade honors student Jamie Bassell. The habit is rubbing off on parents. “I taught my mom to use e-mail,” says another eighth-grader, Katherine Hypolite. “And now she’s taking computer classes. I’m so proud of her!”
小題1:The example of Carmen Arace Middle School in the passage is used to ______.
A．show the problems schools are faced with today
B．prove that a school without high enrollment can do well
C．express the importance of computers in modern education
D．tell that laptops can help improve students’ school performance
小題2:According to the writer, students in New York City’s public schools will ______.
A．enjoy e-mail service in the near future
B．make money by selling ads on websites
C．a(chǎn)ll have their own laptops within nine years
D．become more interested in their studies with laptops
小題3:The underlined word “kinks” in the last paragraph most probably means ______.
A．plansB．projectsC．problemsD．products
小題4:From the passage we learn that ______.
A．a(chǎn) school Internet portal is the key to a laptop program
B．the laptop program also has a good influence on parents
C．students slowly accept the fact their online activities controlled
D．the laptop program in public school is mainly for the eighth-graders
