A 93-year-old war hero whose home was burglarized (失盗) earlier this week got another surprise Wednesday.

"The father of the two children     1     broke into my house, Jose Gonzalez, was here and he     2     (apologize)," said the old hero Wood.

Gonzalez stopped by as some volunteers began repairing Wood’s     3     (damage) home. He said he didn’t know what had caused his children     4     (break) into the house.

"I was telling them: Would you want somebody to do that to your grandparents?" said Gonzalez. "Whether they knew it was an older gentleman’s house or not, they were

    5    (guilt) of what they had done."

The boys are accused of     6     (steal) several items from Wood’s home.

"Only when I went into that man’s house did I see what they had done," said Gonzalez. “    7     wasn’t right for them to have done that.”

Gonzalez said he wanted his sons to be much     8     (good).

"Well, it helps me understand he's doing something instead of just forgetting it," said Wood.

"He came in and made an apology to my dad     9     their behavior, and I think it is     10     (admire)," said one of Wood's sons. "I also think it was the right thing to do."

2 . Youth volunteers from Beijing University visited Songtang Hospital, a care clinic for the aged and dying patients, during the second Global Youth Service Day on April 21.

Thirty student volunteers from the university’s School of International Studies sat at the beds of the patients in their specially-decorated "care huts". They talked with them and gave massages(按摩)to patients kept in their beds.

"I felt sorry that I could not offer more to these people than talking with them and trying to cheer them up."   said Deng Yetao, 20, a third-year student. "But it occurred to me that they need more care and love than babies. They are afraid of the coming death. Their loneliness is worse than physical pains."

"Even though they are suffering a lot, the majority of the elderly people want to talk to us. Each of them has a lot of life experiences and philosophies(哲学) to share. Instead of doing them a favor, I felt I was benefited a lot,” said Mao Xiaohua,another third-year student.

Mao talked with two elderly patients for a whole afternoon. The fact that most of the patients in the 80-room clinic are aged people with diseases that will lead to death soon made the volunteers hearts heavy.

Ninety-one percent of the patients will spend the last days of their lives in the clinic, according to a survey by the hospital. "For people at this stage of their lives, loneliness is even more dreadful(可怕的) than death itself," said Li Wei, president of the hospital.

Daily visits and services by social workers and youth volunteers are a very important part of their program. A total of 330,000 Beijing students from 119 universities and colleges have visited the hospital. Many continue to offer services in their spare time. They showered them with kindnesses. Some of them even volunteer to hold the hands of dying patients during the last minutes of their lives.

Yin Hang, a student from Beijing Medical College, said he felt "the glory(光荣) of life" as he saw the fading smile on the face of the old man who passed into a deep unconsciousness while he was holding his hands.

5 . Welcome to your future life!

You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. Your face is firm and young­looking. In 2035, medical technology is better than ever. Many people at your age could live to 150, so at 40, you're not old at all. And your parents just had an anti­aging (抗衰老的) treatment. Now, all three of you look the same age!

You say to your shirt, "Turn red." It changes from blue to red. In 2035, "smart clothes" contain particles (粒子) much smaller than the cells in your body. The particles can be programmed (编程) to change your clothes' color or pattern.

You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk, but a voice says, "You shouldn't drink that!" Your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that contains information about the milk, and it knows the milk is old. In 2035, every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip.

It's time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your "smart car" where to go. On the way, you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve. Such “smart technology" is all around you.

So will all these things come true? "For new technology to succeed," says scientist Andrew Zolli, "It has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already." The Internet is one example—what will be the next?

1. We can learn from the text that in the future .

A．people will never get old	B．everyone will look the same
C．red will be the most popular color	D．clothes will be able to change their pattern

2. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?

A．Milk will be harmful to health.

B．More drinks will be available for sale.

C．Food in the grocery store will carry electronic information.

D．Milk in the grocery store will stay fresh much longer.

3. What is the text mainly about?

A．Food and clothing in 2035.	B．Future technology in everyday life.
C．Medical treatments of the future.	D．The reason for the success of new technology.

6 . Goldfish have pretty boring lives, so maybe it’s a good thing they can only concentrate for nine seconds! But according to new research, humans are becoming like goldfish. Our attention span (时长) is getting shorter...and it’s all because of technology.

“We move quickly from one site to another on the web, ”says Doctor Ted Selker, a computer scientist from Massachusetts, “and we are losing the ability to concentrate.” With millions of websites to choose from, the attention span of the average internet user is just seconds. There are other digital distractions (分心) too: email, instant messaging and quickie movies on websites. Some people are worried about the effect on young people. “You need time to understand and think about what you read,” says Julia Wood, from London. “Young people search the net all the time and their brains become full of useless information but there is no time to make sense of it. I am trying to persuade my pupils to read more books, so that they concentrate on one subject for longer.”

Other teachers are trying more unusual methods to improve students’ concentration. Anne Savan, from Wales, was so worried about her students that she started playing Mozart during her science lessons. She says that it had an amazing effect: “The music made them calmer, and their concentration was much better.”

But not everyone believes that there is a problem. Ray Cole, an educational psychologist says: “On the web, young people learn to make quick decisions about what is and isn’t worth reading.

They might look at five unhelpful websites very quickly, before stopping and reading a sixth useful website more carefully. In a world with so much information available, this is an important skill.”

1. Why does the writer mention “goldfish”?

A．To analyze data.	B．To introduce a topic.
C．To settle problems.	D．To suggest a way out.

2. What may cause a shorter attention span according to Dr. Ted Selker?

A．Skipping around the internet.	B．Time to digest information.
C．Traditional methods of reading.	D．Making decisions.

3. What will help students overcome a short attention span?

A．Receiving emails.	B．Texting messages.
C．Reading more books.	D．Watching quickie movies.

4. What is Ray Cole’s attitude towards looking through websites quickly?

A．Cautious.	B．Unfavorable.
C．Skeptical.	D．Supportive.
