10.What's life like on a deserted island?Senator(參議員) Jeff Flake of Arizona decided to find out.
The adventurous senator took a vacation from Capitol Hill and went on a four-day Robinson Crusoe style holiday with his two teenage sons to a remote,uninhabited island in the North Pacific Ocean.
The senator and his sons,15-year-old Tanner and 13-year-old Dallin,traveled 5,200 miles from Phoenix,Arizona to the island of Biggarenn.They didn't carry any food or water.
The island is part of the Marshall Islands.It offered no basic facilities,so the Flakes had to catch and cook their own food and purify their water.Their diet was made up of coconuts,crab and fish.They captured the crab and fish themselves and cooked the food over an open fire started with a magnifying glass(放大鏡).
The Flakes brought along a lobster(龍蝦) trap in hopes of having some delicious treats,but lost it within the first few hours after it was attacked by a shark.They also carried two pumps to remove salt from ocean water.It took them hours each night pumping for just a few gallons of fresh water.
One of the most memorable moments of the trip,the father said,was when he and his 15-year-old son were chased by sharks after spearing(叉) a fish in the ocean.
Still,it was quite an enjoyable holiday for the senator."For a dad it was a wonderful thing.No video games around,no television,no distractions,no texting,"Flake recalled.

20.Shi Fang spends more than 4,000 yuan a month shopping,but she rarely goes to the shopping mall."Why need a shopping mall if you have Taobao?I am a Taobaoer,"says Shi,28,a writer in Beijing.
A growing number of Chinese Internet users like Shi have discovered the joys of online shopping.The China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC) announced in December that more than 87 million Chinese made purchases on the Internet in the first half year,which means one out of four Chinese netizens have online shopping experience.
It is estimated that the consumption from online shopping will reach more than 250 billion yuan this year,and 80 percent of this is carried out through Taobao.com,China's fast-growing e-commerce hub (樞紐) set up in 2003.
The biggest attraction for Shi Fang is the relatively low price for online goods,compared with those in stores in bricks.Her favorite facial cream costs 1,680 yuan for a 30ml bottle in the local shop,but a 10ml sample of the same brand only costs 68 yuan online.
The Taobao instant messenger,a communication channel for buyers and sellers,also makes onlrne shopping easier and ensures the overall experience for both parties Shi Fang regards it as a platform to promote trust and keep contact.
"You can check the information easily.It is sweet that the owner will remember you once you have regular chat with him or her through the messenger.You may receive some personalized service such as getting more samples or certain discount,"said Shi While some may question the security of online purchases,Yang Fei,another Taobaoer,gave a thumb-up for Alipay,the Taobao payment method started by Alibaba Group in 2004 in partnership with leading banks in China.It enabled her to make a lot of purchases online.
"It's very safe and convenient.Unless you confirm the arrival and satisfaction about the purchase,the shop owner will not get the money.You can also get the refund(退款) if you want to return the purchase,"she added.

         Perhaps because the program had become so widespread and successful,TOD had been criticized for excluding boys,and it was expanded in 2003to include boys.The program's official website states that the program was changed in order to provide both boys and girls with opportunities to explore careers at an age when they are more flexible in tenns of gender stereotyped roles."We should also show boys that becoming a child care provider is as acceptable a choice as becoming a police officer or CEO,"added Sara K.Gould.executive director of the NFW.

5.Virginia is set to begin enforcing the toughest drunken-driving punishment,one that will require thousands of first-time offenders-whether they were highly drunk or slightly over the limit-to install in their cars blood-alcohol testing devices that can lock the ignition.The devices work like this-A driver must blow into a blood alcohol device linked to the car's ignition.If the result is higher than the legal limit,the car will not start.The device also requires random"rolling retests"once the driver is on the road.
Virginia's current law requires only repeated offenders or those with a blood alcohol level of 0.15 or higher to have an ignition interlock device in their cars.
    The new law,which takes effect in July,will roughly increase the number of people required to use ignition interlock devices four times,and offenders will have to pay about $ 480 for a typical six-month installation.
    The measure has caused a debate between groups battling drunken driving and those representing offenders.Such groups as Mother Against Drunken Driving and The Washington Regional Alcohol Program say that Virginia's 274 alcohol-related road deaths and more than 5,500 injuries in 2010 remained unacceptably high despite years of cracking down on drunken driving.Ignition interlock devices,they say,reduce repeat offenses.But some public defenders and lawyers argue that the devices are too severe a punishment for offenders at the legal blood alcohol limit 0.08,and that the court system will be burdened by more cases going to trial and lower-income drivers will be affected by the fees.
    Del.Sal R.Iaquinto,who sponsored the bill,had a simple reply for concerns about the costs of the interlock devises:"How much does a life cost?""Blowing into a tube for six months,you will remember that,"Iaquinto said,"And you're not likely to offend again."
66.The underlined word"ignition"in Paragraph 1 probably refers to the part in a car whereB.
A.the alarm goes off    
B.the engine starts  
C.the door opens    
D.the car is fueled
67.Who are required to install the blood alcohol devices according to the current law?C
A.The first time drunken-driving offenders.
B.The drivers who are not able to pay offence fees.
C.The repeat drunken-driving offenders.
D.Drivers whose blood alcohol level is below 0.15.
68.The reason why some defenders and lawyers oppose the new law is thatD.
A.fewer cases go to trial
B.lower-income drivers will not afford to drink again
C.interlock devices increase repeat offenses
D.the devices are too severe a punishment for offenders
69.The debate aroused by the measure implies thatB.
A.prevention is better than cure               
B.no law is absolutely perfect
C.punishment is the key to all             
D.justice has long arms
70.What is Del.Sal R.Iaquinto's attitude towards the new law?D
A.Negative
B.Indifferent
C.flexible
D.workable.

15.It u won﹩50,000,000would u still go to college?
Lots of people go to college so they have a chance to get a better job,but if you won﹩50million,would you still pursue(追求)a higher education?
Re:If u won﹩50,000,000would u still go to college?
I would surely still go to college if I had that much money,but I would not be competing for a scholarship on collegenet.com.I would probably still discuss things here and I would create other scholarships to help other people to go to college as well.
With﹩50million,I would not have to worry about getting a loan(貸款)from Chase Bank or finding scholarships to study abroad.I would have published several books by now as well,but I would still pursue my education.Going to undergraduate school is something that I really want to do because I want to become a Pediatrician.Money may buy a lot of things,but it does not necessarily give you knowledge and knowledge is what I am hunting for now.
I am not just going to school to get a better job; I am going to school to realize all of my dreams.﹩50million is a lot of money,but no amount of money can keep me from my dreams.
Veggie thought:"Money may make things easier,but it is not everything."
Re:If u won﹩50,000,000would u still go to college?
Would I still go?UMM,YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!
I still want to teach…I don't care if I have more money than Bill Gates…I still want to be in a classroom teaching!!And I need a degree to do that!Teaching is my dream job,and it would make me really happy.
I would  pay off my loans as well as my boyfriend's loans and help out a couple of friends who are having trouble with money.
Re:If u won﹩50,000,000would u still go to college?
I would still go to college.The only difference is with that much money to go to college I probably would stay in college longer and pursue a few extra degrees while I am there.I am looking for knowledge not money.The only problem is I need money to pursue knowledge.
Also I could set up scholarship funds and I could save some more for additional dreams that I have.

56.According to the answers,what do they have in common?C

B.They all want to get a better job.
