   At present, almost everyone has a mobile phone, but have you ever thought that cell phones            be bad for your health? A study shows that heavy mobile phone use may cause hearing loss.
This study shows that people who use cell phones for about an hour a day have a              time hearing some similar sounds, especially in their right ears. It is getting harder for           to tell the difference between the sounds of “s” and “f”, and “t” and “z”.
Researchers studied 100 people who used cell phones and                them with 50 people who did not. The study lasted for 12 months. What the researchers found was that cell phone users had more hearing            than those who did not use cell phones.
Besides this, our ears have many little            inside them. Too much noise will cause these hairs to get weak and              die. When these hairs die, it affects our ability to listen.
However, cell phone users don’t care too much             this study. One man said, “I’d be more worried about people who                MP3 players. They put those earphones in their ears and listen to very              music. I think that is more likely to cause hearing loss than a cell phone.”

Life was                for the first few years. I worked from 10 am to 11 pm. I wanted to go to school to learn English, but it was impossible. I couldn’t                the schooling.”

Which of the following is TRUE according to the information above?

Imagine the situation. You are driving along in a desert or on a mountain. You have no idea where you are. You passed the last house two hours ago. Then your car breaks down. It is night and it is cold. You have no mobile phone. What do you do? Well, next time take a GPS with you. This invention may be able to help you. It is a device（装置） which uses satellites to find the user’s position. It can find your position to within 20 meters. A GPS cannot start your car, but at least you will know where you are.
GPS, which means Global Positioning System（全球定位系统）, is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile phone. You can hold it in your hand, or put in you pocket. It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone. We also find GPS devices in cars, planes, or boats. Some of these devices have electronic maps, so you know where you are. For example, in a city they can tell you the name of the street.
There are three parts to the Global Positioning System. The first part is the receiver. You can hold it in your hand, or have it fixed into your car, plane, etc. the second part is a group of satellites orbiting the Earth. The receiver contacts at least four of the satellites and calculates its position. The third part of the system is a network of ground stations. They are all over the world. They control the satellites and make sure they are working well.
Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile. They are becoming cheaper and more and more accurate（精确的）. There are also new uses for the GPS. Perhaps they will become like watches. Everyone will have one and you will never be lost again.GPS
According to the passage, with the help of the GPS, people _________.

We can learn from the passage that ___________.

The underlined word “They” in paragraph 3 means “__________”.

The passage is mainly about ____________.

What can we infer（推断） from the passage?

“USA? Britain? Which country is better to study in?”We often hear such discussions. As China opens its doors, studying abroad has become a dream for many Chinese students. They want to learn about the world.
It’s true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Language skills will improve and it may be easier to find jobs.
But there are problems that should be considered. Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language and getting used to a different culture.
Students must also learn to live without parents’ care and deal with all kinds of things they haven’t had to do before, like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinese students abroad sinking into an ocean of difficulties and giving up easily. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well.
Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden(负担) to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth it?
We know that there are many famous people who succeed in great things through their hard work in China. Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacher invited him there but he refused. He kept training hard with his Chinese teacher. He surprised the world when he won a gold medal at the Athens Olympics. So when you wonder which country is better to study in, consider whether studying abroad is the right choice.
From the passage, we learn that many Chinese students dream about studying abroad to_______.

The writer thinks _______ should be considered first before students study abroad.

The writer mentions Liu Xiang in the passage in order to tell us that _____.

Which of the following is NOT true?

This passage is mainly about _______

The aim of students who come to school is to study. But to study requires a right way, or you waste either the time or the money. The following are the ways of studying.
The best time for reading is morning, because in the morning, the air is fresh and the mind is clear. For that reason, we can get good result.
①In studying we must have patience. If we have not known a text well, we must read it again. We should not read the next one until we have learned the first one.
②When we are studying, we must put our hearts into the book, or we can get nothing from the book while we are reading.
We must always ask “whys”. If it is not well understood, write it down and ask our teachers or our parents, or friends. In any possible way, we must know it completely and what we’ve learned can be used well and made better.
Though there are many ways for studying, yet the above mentioned will be quite enough if we can keep them in heart and do so.
