In recent years, study abroad has been popular. Many students are trying his best to go abroad. There are many advantages in attending schools in abroad. First, students who study abroad can make friend with people of different cultures. Second, they can learn many more advanced knowledge of science or technology from foreign countries. Third, they can learn foreign languages more efficiently. But mostly of the students are young to live by themselves without any living experience. However, being far away from their motherland, they may be feel lonely and homesick.
I hear many parents saying that their teenagers are rebellious(反叛的). I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out bravely on their own, most of them are trying to seize at another’s hands for safety.
They say they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such way is that the cords is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon—into a larger cocoon.
It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly opened up a teenager market. These days every teenager can learn from newspapers and TV what a teenager should have and be. And many of today’s parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to great difficulty for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.
But the difficulty is worth getting over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don’t care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come—with the people who respect you for who you are. That’s the only kind of popularity that really counts.

A small group of people around the world have started implanting(移植) microchips to link the body and the computer.
Mr. Donelson and three friends, who had driven 100 miles from their homes in Loekport, New York, to have the implants put in by Dr Jesse Willemaire, whom they had persuaded to do the work, are part of a small group, about 30 people around the world, who have independently put in microchips into their bodies, according to Web-based reports.
At a shop William Donelson was having a four-millimeter-wide needle put into his left hand. “I’m set,” he said with a deep breath. He watched as the needle pierced(刺穿) the fleshy webbing between his thumb and a microchip was set under his skin. At last he would be able to do what he had long imagined; strengthen his body’s powers through technology.
By putting the chip inside—a radio frequency identification device (RFID)—Mr. Donelson would have at his fingertips the same magic that makes safety gates open with a knock of a card, and bridge and tunnel traffic flow smoothly with an E-Zpass. With a wave of his hand he plans to connect with his computer, open doors and unlock his car.
Implanting the chip was relatively simple task but very meaningful to Mr. Doneselson, a 21-year-old computer networking student so interested in the link between technology and the body that he has data-input jacks(数据输入插空) inside his body. They might lead to an imagined future when people can be connected directly into computers. His new chip is enclosed in a glass container no bigger than a piece of rice and has a small memory where he has stored the words “Technology”.
Some doctors have done the piercing in people’s homes, and others have implanted chips in their offices after patients signed forms showing the fact that long-term studies have not been done on their safety. Piercers treat the implants much like any other medical operation steps, instructing people to keep the site dry, and advising them that swelling(肿) and redness should last a week.
69. With a RFID implanted, which of the following will Mr. Donelson be able to do?
Make a safety gate open with a knock of a card.
Make bridge and tunnel traffic flow smoothly with an E-Zpass.
Open doors and unlock his car with a wave of his hand.
Turn his body and brain directly into computers.
70. The underlined word “they” in paragraph 5 refer to “___________”.
A. glass containers B. implanted computer chips
C. data input jacks D. computer and net working students
71. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. High Tech, Under the Skin B. A Needle, So Magic
C. Donelson, a Powerful Man D. Data-input Jacks, Inside the Body
72. We can conclude from the passage that __________________.
Mr. Donelson has made a large sum of money by the piercing.
the Piercers are people working in the computer field
the piercing has no side effect and it will make people intelligent
the long term effects of these implants are not yet known
When we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school subjects. By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving, especially in a new or upsetting situation. If we want to test intelligence, we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do.
For instance, when in a new situation, an intelligent person thinks about the situation, not about himself or what might happen to him. He tries to find out all he can, and then he acts immediately and tried to do something about it. He probably isn’t sure how it will all work out, but at least he tries. And if he cannot make things work out right, he doesn’t feel ashamed that he failed, he just tries to learn from his mistakes. An intelligent person, even if he is very young, has a special outlook on life, a special feeling about life, and how he fits into it.
If you look at children, you’ll see a great difference in what we call “bright” children and “not bright” children. They are actually two different kinds of people, not just the same kind with different amounts of intelligence. For example, the bright child really wants to find out about life, he tries to get in touch with everything around him. But the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and his own dream world: he seems to have a walk between him and life in general.
61. According to the passage, intelligence is the ability to ________________ .
A. get high scores in some tests B. do well in school subjects
C. deal with life D. know what to do
62. In a new situation, an intelligent person _______________ .
knows more about what might happen to him
is sure of the result he will get
is ready to face and fit himself in the situation
cares more about himself
63. If an intelligent person failed, he would ___________ .
try not to feel ashamed B. learn from his experiences
C. try to find all he could D. make sure what result he would get
64. The difference between bright children and non-bright children lies in _________ .
A. their attitude towards life B. the degree of cleverness
C. the amounts of knowledge about the world D. their way of thinking

Learning experiences happen to us throughout our lives. Not long ago, I had one that I would like to 41 with you.
I was going to Marblehead with my sailboat team. The team was racing down the high way at 85 mph 42 we realized we were 43 . Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I had a brand new $ 20 bill. I was so 44 because I had never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on 45 seemed like throwing it away. We all rushed into the pizza line.
46 , I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my table. About halfway through the meal, I 47 I had not actually handed my money to the cashier. I had just 48 out, and nobody had noticed. I felt terrible.
My conscience(良心) opened its mouth and swallowed me in one big bite. I couldn’t 49 over it. I just couldn’t go back to the cashier and 50 for my stolen pizza. I was so upset that I
51 to forgive myself the pleasure of an ice cream for 52 that someone would say, “Hey, Jeff, why don’t you use the change 53 the pizza instead of that nice, new $ 20 bill?” I was not so 54 of my cash now.
For the next two years, whenever I was 55 of the “pizza incident,” I would say to myself, “Don’t think about it.”
I have learned two things from this 56 . Maybe I was a fool for 57 in to my conscience, and being too stupid to appreciate a 58 pizza. But the real lesson is that even if you get away from what you have done, your conscience will 59 up with you.
This reflects the saying, “A coward (懦夫) dies a thousand times, a hero dies once.” I was a coward and have felt terrible about that accident at least a thousand times. If I had been a 60 and gone back to pay for the pizza, I would have felt a little uncomfortable about it only once, or maybe twice.
