When Rikke Dausen in Denmark goes to get some milk from the fridge,she has trouble getting past the refrigerator door.But it’s not because of any physical obstruction（障礙）.It’s usually because the PC monitor in her refrigerator’s door has informed her that a new e-mail message has arrived.Rikke and her husband are taking part in a six-month test sponsored（贊助） by a Danish firm and two Swedish partners.They hope to show that computers can be put to much more practical daily use than most people think.Fifty families and singles were provided with a free model known as the “Screenfridge” for the period of the test.?

“It’s really very clever,”says Rikke.She can call up e-mail,news reports,sales items at the supermarket or addresses out of the endless ocean of Internet possibilities.“I’m not the type who wants to sit in front of the computer and wait 10 minutes for the modem to connect,”she says.The creators of the Screenfridge aim at this type of buyer.They think that the machine should attract people who have limited time to solve technical problems or surf online.The PC that is built into the door is very small.It is only two centimeters wide,and completely silent.Everything moves quickly,as Rikke admits.Well,the whole thing is really just an amusement,she says.But when the thing is gone after the test,it will be a pain to have to go down in the basement again to download my e-mail.

閱讀下面短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。Roy wasn't the only one to receive his call-up（入伍）papers．Stephen Napier's call-up came at the beginning of February and he was pleased to find that he would be going into the Royal Air Force (RAF)．
His father was not so pleased and made his feelings known as he and Stephen were on their daily walk. It was the first step in his plans for Stephen to take over the estate（地產(chǎn)）when the time came, and although Stephen was well aware of this, he could think of no reason not to accompany him.
"Thought you'd forgotten that nonsense. Still, I dare say I could pull a few strings to get you to the Army..."
"No, Father! I have told you I want to learn to fly. What chance would I have to do that in the Army? I'd be better off in the Navy——at least they've got the Fleet Air Arm. But I have been put in the RAF and that's where I want to be, so let's leave it at that." His face went red. Sent to his father's school and then to Cambridge, much to his satisfaction, he had never had to defend his own desires and his father was a hard man to oppose.
The father glared at Stephen, "No, I won't leave it at that. I want to know what other ridiculous ideas are in your head. For a start, what's all this about America?"
"America?"
"Yes. All those books I saw in your room the other day. Brochures about emigration（移民）．"
The big, silvered head lowered, like that of a bull about to charge．"Don't trouble to deny it."
"I won't, Father. Some men at Cambridge have been talking about it. They want people like us here, mathematicians and scientists, for all kinds of research——the sort of research I could do．It would be a worthwhile life for me."
The father responded exactly as his son had known he would．"You've got a worthwhile life here！You've got an estate to run！"
"No, Father. You've got an estate to run. I never asked for it. Why not ask Baden to do this stuff? He perhaps can make a good job of it, but I..."
"If he were here, I might think about this silly idea of yours——only think about it, mind you but..."
【小題1】If Father wanted Stephen to take over the estate, the first thing he did would__________．

A．Stephen had never had to defend his desires before

B．Baden might be one of Stephen's family members

More parents are looking to cellphones to help keep their children safe.  But mom and dad should be careful: Kids who talk on a cellphone may be more likely to step into traffic. Children should learn to end phone conversations before they prepare to step into traffic.

     While research shows that older kids and more experienced users also don’t navigate(穿行于) streets as well while on a cellphone, younger children tends to find the small tools more distracting(令人分心的).

“Kids of this age are just learning to cross the street on their own, ”says David-Schwebel, a co-author of the study. “They’re beginners. ”

     Kids don’t need to be stopped from chatting on the phone when outside,

however. Instead, parents simply should instruct them to finish their conversations before crossing the street.        

“I don’t think this means parents should take phones away from their kids, ”says Schwebel. “I encourage families to get cellphones for their children.  They’re more helpful than harmful,  if they’re used in a safe way. ”

     Other distractions, such as conversations with friends, listening to music,  and text messaging, may also cause problems for children in this age group.  The researchers expect to study the effect of those types of distractions in the future.

Experts in child safety approved the cellphone study. “If you’re talking on a cellphone,  you’re not paying much attention to the environment around you, ” says Susan Baker, a professor.

     Brooke Carlson, a 44-year-old mom, has noticed how riveted her 9-year-old son is when he’s talking on the cellphone. Although she’d never thought of the dangers of crossing traffic while on the phone, Carlson says, “Now that I know about it, it makes total sense. ”She plans to have a chat with her child about cellphones and street safety.

For younger kids, parents might consider purchasing a phone with a plan that only allows the child to call up his or her parents. That way the cellphone can be used for emergencies, but not for chatting with friends for hours.

1.In Schwebel’s opinion, _____ .

A. kids are still too young to walk on the street alone

B. kids don’t know how to use cellphones appropriately

C. kids have little experience in crossing the street alone

D. kids are not experienced cellphone users

2. Which of the following is Schwebel in favor of?

A. Children shouldn’t be allowed to have a cellphone.

B. Children should be forbidden to chat on the phone when outside.

C. Cellphones do more harm to children than other distractions.

D. Parents should teach kids about cellphones and street safety.

3. The underlined word “riveted” may mean“_____”.

A. confused              B. absorbed

C. dangerous             D. excited

4. According to the passage, what does Mrs Carlson know?

A. There are dangers of crossing streets while on the phone.

B. Her 9-year-old son is not interested in talking on the phone.

C. Cellphones are more helpful than harmful to children.

D. Kids don’t pay attention to the environment when talking on the phone.

5. The purpose of writing this passage is to _____.

A. advise parents not to buy cellphones for children

B. introduce a phone that only allows kids to call up parents

C. expect kids not to talk on cellphones while on the street

D. expect people to use cellphones less in daily life
