21、It is hard to say the first day of school in the United States because when the first day of school is and what happens on the first day of school usually are different by districts（地区）.

The first day of school for many school districts in different states is on the day after the first Monday in September. In some other school districts, school begins in mid-to-late August. For example, the Denver, Colorado schools go back in mid-August and schools in Cleveland, Ohio start back usually one week before the first Monday in September. The Boston, Chicago, New York City and San Diego schools start back on the Tuesday or Wednesday after the first Monday in September.

Schools in Cleveland, Ohio used to start the school year on the day after the first Monday in September, but in the 1976-1977 and 1977-1978 academic years, the school year was affected by several bad snowstorms, extreme cold. In the 1978-1979 school year, the Ohio Department of Education moved the start of the year to late August, one week before the first Monday in September. This went into effect in the 1980-1981 school year.

In most school districts in Utah, the school year starts between August 25 and August 30, and goes until the last week of May or the first week in June next year.

In American high schools, the freshmen class usually goes back one or two days before the rest of the school body for an orientation（迎新）period. An orientation period helps the freshmen get familiar with their new school, its rules, and surroundings.

In some schools, the freshmen classes have their photographs taken for identification purposes. Some high schools have tried to make the first week of school fun for incoming freshmen.

22、Technology use seems to be the new wave of addiction hitting people of all ages. Its extreme use can be compared to the use of drugs, which is called Plug-in Heroin.

The next time you’re in a crowded public place, look at the people around you. It’s hard to find someone who isn’t glued to (专注于) the tiny screen, fingers moving at lightning speeds, texting their friends, emailing co-workers or listening to music. It may seem ridiculous (滑稽可笑的)that someone is that addicted to such a small object. I’ve seen people who seem to be at their wits’ end (不知所措) if their phone or iPad has been taken away, lost or left at home.

Some people may ask, “What’s wrong with technology use? It’s a way for people to communicate: ”While this is true, the overuse of technology isn’t always proper in certain settings. Schools are becoming stricter about the use of cell phones, iPads and other electronics in classrooms. Various workplaces have signs hanging on their walls warning employees that “Cell phone use is not permitted” or “Cell phones are forbidden”.

Electronics may be a way for people to communicate and stay in touch with each other, but the disadvantages may outweigh (大于) the benefits. People are losing the ability to hold face-to-face conversations with others. However, it’s hard to avoid electronics nowadays because almost everything is turning into an electronic format. Books, originally meant for paper design, are now being transferred (转存) to electronic forms. Photo albums, and even yearbooks, can now be viewed via the Internet. With this growing trend, future generations are bound to become even more addicted to technology.

Is there a cure for electronic addiction? Simply turning electronics off for an hour or two a day may help to an extent, but it will not completely rid electronic addiction. There only seems to be one cure left, and it may be the hardest: self control.

【1】What is Plug-in Heroin?

A．The unreasonable dependence on electronics.

B．The growing popularity of electronics.

C．The serious results of technology use.

D．The future possibility of technology development.

【2】The second paragraph is intended to ________.

A．prove electronics are harmful to people

B．advise people to quit electronics

C．show people’s addiction to electronics

D．tell people it is ridiculous to use electronics

【3】Why is it difficult to avoid electronics nowadays?

A．Fewer choices are left for communication.

B．Too many things are available in electronic forms.

C．It is a must to use electronics to keep in touch.

D．The design of paper books is less interesting.

【4】In the author’s opinion, what is the best way to cure electronic addiction?

A．Turn off the electronics for an hour or two.

B．Learn to control yourself.

C．Cell phones are forbidden in the workplaces.

D．Be stricter about the use of cell phones, iPads and other electronics in classrooms.

23、Most Chinese people expect to relax and enjoy themselves during the Golden Week. But for those trying to go someplace, it may seem more disappointment than pleasure. This year, the traffic jam resulted in a roadside wedding(婚礼).

The suffering of being stuck in traffic was probably most strongly felt by Lv Kangzhou and his bride(新娘) Yan Mengxia. By tradition, the groom（新郎） drove early in the morning to the bride's home in Zhejiang Province in East China to pick her up along with her family and take them to his family's hometown for the wedding. By 4 pm, Lv's wedding was 90 minutes away, but his car had not moved an inch for a long time. Lv got in touch with the local radio to explain his difficult situation and ask for a traffic forecast. The radio host told Lv there was no way to hold his wedding on time and offered to hold their wedding on the air. At 5：30 pm, Lv and his bride said their vows(发誓) on the side of the road, and Lv's family and friends witnessed the ceremony by listening to the radio.

Lv wasn't the only person stuck in the Golden Week crowds. According to the state news agency Xinhua, 11.7 million people traveled by train on Wednesday. About 120，000 people gathered at Tian'anmen Square in Beijing to watch the flag­raising ceremony. Last year, the Forbidden City in Beijing hosted 175，000 tourists on one day during the Golden Week, and the number is expecting to be even bigger this year.

Chinese Internet users complain about the Golden Week holiday every year. An Internet user Tuzhi said on Sina Weibo: “On the Great Wall, I'm holding your hand, but I cannot see your face.”

【1】By tradition, the wedding should take place in ________．

A．Zhejiang Province

D．the groom's hometown

【2】Lv, the groom, called the local radio because he wanted to ________．

24、   Twenty-five years ago, most young Britons wanted a career in law, to be a doctor, or, if they were creatively minded, to take up singing. But today, things stand differently.

According to a survey by Tesco Mobile, a UK telecoms company, the “dream job” of young people aged between 16 and 25 in the UK is a video blogger, or “vlogger”. The survey, carried out among 1,002 people, found that as much as 40 percent of them put vlogger as their number one choice on a list of ideal jobs.

The only reason for this change is undoubtedly the Internet and social media. They have made it so much easier to reach a global user, without having to get a job in show business in the traditional way.

“In years gone by, the biggest stars were shaped and trained by the Hollywood studios; now, anyone with a computer camera can become an icon(偶像),” a Tesco Mobile spokesperson said in a news release. “These self-made stars record their hobbies to an admiring fan-base. Vloggers are the big stars of today because they are normal people interacting with their fans about everyday life.”

However, what people see is only the great side of being a vlogger and they ignore the fact that only those who are successful get fame and fortune. There are the dreams that come true and the dreams that still remain dreams.

This is why although vloggers are popular, some young people choose jobs that don’t necessarily earn them fame, but allow them to make good use of the Internet to share their hobbies. Young Israeli David Leshaw, for example, runs a business called the Finishers Club. It’s an online platform(平台) for runners to keep a record of their races. He told the website Zippia that his job allows him to express his thought, and is always a learning experience. And that’s enough for him.

【1】A “vlogger” means a kind of ______.

A.video B.job

C.game D.survey

【2】What might NOT be the possible reasons for young people to become a vlogger?

A.Excitement and fun. B.Success and experience.

C.Fame and income. D.Interest and hobby.

【3】From the text, we can learn that David Leshaw ______.

A.becomes one of the biggest stars

B.has different hobbies from others

C.prefers to develop a rich inner heart

D.becomes the icon of many admiring fans

【4】What might be the best title of the text?

A.Things Stand Differently Today B.People Can All Become an Icon

C.Teenagers Dream of Online Jobs D.Dreams Always Remain Dreams
