I am trying to muster (鼓起) the courage to toss away my mobile phone to enjoy a more peaceful and ringfree life. Can you imagine not having your mobile phone? In our hightech, inahurry age, a cellfree life is a hard concept to swallow. Our mobile phones can now access the Internet, and many people feel the need to express their every thought on their blog pages. If I gave up my cellphone, people would think I was mad. I wish I had the strength to toss away my technology. I have an office phone, a home phone，an email and if people want to contact me, they can. If I’m out，people can leave a message.

The latest phones carry our music, pictures, movies and everything else. We feel lost without this device and when we do misplace it, we feel cut off from our fellow. “Where have you been？” said a friend, who saw me a week after I lost my cellphone, “I tried calling you, but you disappeared. You disappeared off the face of the Earth.” See, when you don’t have a mobile phone, you don’t exist. I’m not really going to toss my mobile phone away, in fact.

A young British sailor was missing at sea yesterday in similar circumstances(情况) to the way his father died five years ago． The dinghy(救生橡皮船), used to take Richard Smith, 21, to his yacht(快艇), was discovered empty, floating in seas off the Caribbean island.

Ears are for hearing — everyone knows that. But for a creature called the Cuvier’s beaked whale, hearing starts in the throat (喉咙), a new study found. The observation might help explain how all whales hear. The work might also help scientists understand how animals are affected by underwater sonar (声呐). This sonar, used by some ships, sends out sound waves to locate underwater objects. The Cuvier’s beaked whale is a so-called toothed whale. Toothed whales dive deep into the ocean in search of food. As the whales hunt, they produce sounds that reach objects and then return to the whales. This allows the animals to “see” the shape, size, and location of objects, even when they’re 1,000 meters under the sea, where it is totally dark. To better understand how the whale hears, researchers from San Diego State University in California took X rays of two Cuvier’s beaked whales. The whales had died and washed up on the beach. Ted Cranford and his colleagues used the images to make a computer model of a Cuvier’s beaked whale’s head. Then, they modeled the process of sound traveling through the head. The researchers knew that some sounds get to the ears of a toothed whale through a structure (构造) called “the window for sound”. Found on the lower jaw, this structure is very thin on the outside and has a large pad (垫) of fat on the inside. When the researchers used their computer model to work out how sound waves travel in the whale’s head, they were surprised to find that sounds coming from right in front of the whale actually travel under the animal’s jaw. From there, sound waves move through the throat, into a hole in the back of the jaw, and finally to the pad of fat near the animal’s ears. 1. Toothed whales look for food under the sea by ______. A. watching the shape and size of their objects B. diving deep into the sea C. sending and receiving sounds D. making lots of noises 2. Researchers took X rays of two Cuvier’s beaked whales in order to ______. A. find out why they had died and washed up on the beach B. make a computer model of a Cuvier’s beaked whale’s head C. make sure that sound travels through the head D. know more about the way the whale hears 3. Which of the following describes the way taken by sound waves through a Cuvier’s beaked whale? A. A hole in the back of the jaw → the ears → the jaw → the throat. B. The jaw → the throat → a hole in the back of the jaw → the ears. C. The throat → the jaw → the ears → a hole in the back of the jaw. D. The ears → the throat → a hole in the back of the jaw → the jaw. 4. Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage? A. The throat is important to the Cuvier’s beaked whale’s hearing. B. Ships send out sound waves like a Cuvier’s beaked whale. C. The ears are actually useless to the Cuvier’s beaked whale. D. The researchers haven’t found how the whales hear.

As is known to all that our students of today have to fix our attention on our lessons, so we know few of society. A holiday is the best time and the best chance to make up for that. Take a part-time job is a good form of social practice. That we have learned in books and in class can’t have same important effect on us as what we have learned through personal practice. In social practice, we can surely make a progress in both knowledge or practical ability. Beside, when we take a part-time job, we may got paid more or less to help our family. Thus, I will say a senior school student should take a part-time job in their holidays, if possible.
