The World Wide Web（www.萬維網(wǎng)）turned 25 years old on March 12th. It has become a very important part in our daily lives. We can’t imagine living without the web, the short form of the World Wide Web.

In 1989, a British engineer named Tim Berners-Lee came up with the idea of the Web. It is a group of “pages” of information that are connected to each other around the world. That is the very beginning of the Web. Since then, the Web has greatly changed the way people live. With a click(點(diǎn)擊)of a mouse we can read news, buy things, make friends and learn anything we’re interested in.

Now, 25 years after its birth, how will the Web influence life in the future? Scientists believe there are both advantages and disadvantages. w W w .x K b 1.c o M

A growing Web will help build “better relationships” between different cultures. Also in the future, everyday items could be connected to the Web. We could share plenty of information to make our daily lives more convenient(方便的). So one day in the future, your front door could send you a message. “Dear sir, everyone has left the house, but I’ m still open!”

But scientists warn（警告）us that if we share personal information on the Internet it could get into the wrong hands.

“It’s not wise to spend a whole day in front of the screen. People need to get close to nature and enjoy the sun. Never be controlled by the Internet.” said Berners-Lee.

It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don't. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isn't accepted by all people.

Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don't need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and maths need not be taught in detail, either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.

Education is well-rounded (全面的) and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and take an interest in the world.

I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.

1. People with little education usually_______.

A. spend a long time in school

B. have a good chance to get a job

C. spend the best years to choose jobs

A. make a man lead a better life

B. teach a man to write and read

A. accept education as a way of living

B. take an interest in the whole world

C. develop their abilities to make plays

D. learn subjects like language and math

4. The passage mainly tells us that_______.

A. education should make a man improve

B. people can get education in a short time

C. people should be able to get good paying jobs

D. all subjects are so important for a way of living

任務(wù)型閱讀

閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，在短文后1-5小題句子空白處填入適當(dāng)?shù)脑~語或句子，使句子與短文內(nèi)容一致（每空詞數(shù)不限）。

Have you ever asked your relatives or friends if there is Wi-Fi in their houses? Have you ever searched for Wi-Fi when you are at restaurants or hotels? The answers will probably be "Yes". Most of us want Wi-Fi everywhere as if we can't live without it. But we can only use free Wi-Fi in some public places. We still have to spend some money accessing(連接)the Internet at most time. Here comes a piece of good news.

A rich, powerful organization in the USA called the Media Development Investment Fund (MDIF) has decided to change the age of online computing (計(jì)算) completely by giving free Wi-Fi to every person on Earth. They will send up hundreds of satellites(衛(wèi)星) into low Earth orbit(軌道)in 2015.

This is because they have made a survey and found that only 60% of the world's population have been able to get information on the Internet. And this is also because many countries are unable to offer people the necessary infrastructure(基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施)to access the web.

We can expect to use free Wi-Fi everywhere in the near future.
