Imagine you’re at a party full of strangers. You’re nervous. Who are these people? How do you start a conversation? Fortunately, you’ve get a thing that sends out energy at tiny chips in everyone’s name tag (標(biāo)簽). The chips send back name, job, hobbies, and the time available for meeting – whatever. Making new friends becomes simple.

This hasn’t quite happened in real life. But the world is already experiencing a revolution using RFID technology.

An RFID tag with a tiny chip can be fixed in a product, under your pet’s skin, even under your own skin. Passive RFID tags have no energy source – batteries because they do not need it. The energy comes from the reader, a scanning device (裝置), that sends out energy (for example, radio waves) that starts up the tag immediately.

Such a tag carries information specific to that object, and the data can be updated. Already, RFID technology is used for recognizing each car or truck on the road and it might appear in your passport. Doctors can put a tiny chip under the skin that will help locate and obtain a patient’s medical records. At a nightclub in Paris or in New York the same chip gets you into the VIP (very important person ) section and pays for the bill with the wave of an arm.

Take a step back: 10 or 12 years ago, you would have heard about the coming age of computing. One example always seemed to surface: Your refrigerator would know when you needed to buy more milk. The concept was that computer chips could he put every where and send information in smart network that would make ordinary life simpler.

RFID tags are a small part of this phenomenon. “The world is going to he a loosely coupled set of individual small devices, connected wirelessly.” Predicts Dr. J. Reich. Human right supporters are nervous about the possibilities of such technology. It goes too far tracking school kids through RFID tags, they say. We imagine a world in which a beer company could find out not only when you bought a beer but also when you drank it. And how many beers, Accompanied by how many biscuits.

When Marconi invented radio, he thought it would be used for ship – to – shore communication, not for pop music. Who knows how RFID and related technologies will be used in the future. Here’s a wild guess: Not for buying milk.

The article is intended to             .

       A．warn people of the possible risks in adopting RFID technology

       B．explain the benefits brought about by RFID technology

       C．convince people of the uses of RFID technology

       D．predict the applications of RFID technology

       D．won’t feel shy at parties any longer

Passive RFID tags chiefly consist of           .

       A．scanning devices

       B．radio waves

       C．batteries

       D．chips

Why are some people worried about RFID technology?

       A．Because children will be tracked by strangers.

       B．Because market competition will become more fierce.

       C．Because their private lives will be greatly affected.

       D．Because customers will be forced to buy more products.

I am so worried about global warming. We need stop cutting down all of the trees so that they can absorb the carbon dioxide. I think the Kyoto Protocol （京都議定書） to stop pollution is a great idea ,and I hope our country will decide to follow it, too.

                                                             — Eli S.,10,Texa

People should do all they can to help stop pollution, even if it is something as little as recycling your soda can. Every little thing helps. Maybe schools can put recycling bins in classrooms. Students can bring in all of their cans and bottles and see how many the school can collect.

                                                  — Lindsey A.,11, Massachusett

The United States should take action to help stop pollution. Since we are one of the richest countries, we should at least spend a little money to help.

                                                  — Aaron z,11,Massachusett

It is not good that the United States is not following the Kyoto Protocol. The U.S. is one of the most pollution emitting （污染物排放）countries in the world. Even if the rest of the world agrees to follow those rules, without the U. S. and its big businesses agreeing, global warming will still be a big problem.

                                                         —Augustine S.,11,Ohio

The world needs to learn more about global warming problems. If we do not do something soon then some of Earth’s coolest animals will become extinct. People should use solar power instead of things that pollute the atmosphere!

                                                    — Jillian J.,10,Pennsylvania

Global warming is very dangerous, and it must be prevented. Even if people think that it cannot be stopped ,we should  at least try. Stopping global warming is more important than keeping our businesses going. What about the penguins（企鵝）and the polar bears? We can’t just let them become extinct.

                                                        —Samantha R.,11,Illinois

72．Why does Lindsey suggest schools put recycling bins in classrooms?

       A．To keep the classroom clean            B. To help protect wild animals.

       C．To help protect our earth.            D. To collect waste in classroom.

73．Augustine worries that global warming problems will be difficult to solve because       .

         A．many people think that global warming cannot be stopped

       B．more and more trees are being cut down

       C．American government spends little money stopping pollution

       D．the U.S. refuses to follow the Kyoto Protocol

74．Jillian and Samantha believe that      .

       A．solar power is earth-friendly energy  

         B．global warming threatens animals’ survival

         C．America is the richest country in the world

         D．the penguins and the polar bears are dying out
