It was the last day of final examinations at a large college. On the steps of one building, a group of engineering students were discussing the exam that was ahout to begin. On their faces was confidence. This was their last exam before they graduated(毕业)and found jobs.
Some talked of jobs they already had，others of jobs they would get. With four years of college study，they felt ready and able to conquer(征服)the world.
The coming exam，they knew，would be easy. The professor(教授)had said they could bring any books or notes they wanted，but they couldn’t talk to each other during the test.
They walked into the classroom. The professor passed out the papers. The students’ smiles became wide as they saw that there were only five essay-type questions.
Three
hours passed and the exam came to an end. Then the professor began to collect the papers. The students no longer looked confident. They seemed worried. No one spoke as the professor faced the class with the papers in her hand.
She looked at all the worried faces in front of her, and then asked，“How many students completed all five questions?”
Not a hand was put up.
‘‘How many of you answered four?” Still no hands.
“Three?Two?”The students moved restlessly in their seats.
“One，then. Certainly somebody finished one．”But the class stayed silent. The professor put down the papers.“That is just what I expected，”she said.
“I just wanted to make sure you realize that even though you have studied engineering for four years, there are still many things about the subject you don’t know. Instead of testing you on what you learned in this class, I’ve given you questions that skilled engineers face in the world outside the classroom. You can’t expect to be an expert(专家)on the day you graduate. You have to learn as you go.”
Then，smiling, she added，“You will all pass this course, but remember that your education has just begun.’’What does the underlined word“restlessly”mean in the passage?

| B．To find out whether the students could put what they had learned into practice. |
| C．To show that she had much more knowledge than her students in engineering. |

Water pollution happens when waste things from many areas are thrown into rivers，lakes and seas．
Agriculture
To get more food，farmers use large amounts of chemicals（化学制品）．When the chemicals are not completely used by the plants，they are washed away by the rainwater into rivers， lakes and seas， which pollute both surface water and underground water．
Factories and industries often release poisonous chemicals into seas，rivers or lakes，which is quite bad for Mother Nature．An example of industrial sea pollution happened in Japan in the 1950s．A local factory had poured waste water with mercury（水银） into the Minamata Bay for 20 years．Tuna fish in the bay took in the mercury and people ate the tuna．Many children were born with birth deformities（畸形）．As a result，people lost their hearing and sight，and thousands of people died in the end．
Sea transportation

"An Englishman，even if he is alone，forms an orderly queue of one，" wrote a famous British author，George Mikes．While this sounds funny，it's a popular English stereotype（刻板印象）．From the supermarket to the subway，queues are a common sight on the streets of Britain．
Here in China，queues are normal，too．It is a part of everyday life．People queue most of the time，from buying tickets in the cinema to waiting for seats at a restaurant．But in certain situations，you'll find yourself in the middle of a rushing crowd，such as getting onto the subway．Even away from the busy subway platform，queues are different．
One day I was standing in line at the supermarket．I left a small space in front of me．Within seconds，a girl walked by and took her place in that small space．I was surprised at first，but later I found these experiences very interesting．It is with these small，everyday differences that I get to live and learn in a new culture．

Recently using a mobile phone has become a fashion. Do you often send text messages (短信) to your friends or family? If you keep sending text messages over and over again, there may be something wrong with your fingers. Everybody using the mobile phones should be careful. If you don’t, you may get injured one day.
Text messaging or texting is becoming popular. But scientists have found out that texting can give us problems with fingers. Too much texting can make your fingers uncomfortable. When we press small buttons over and over again, we may have a disease called RSI. RSI is short for Repetitive Strain Injury (重复性力损伤).
Harriet Wilson is a doctor. She has many patients with RSI. She says we should check how much time we are spending in typing text messages. _________ we spend more than 10 to 15 minutes every day, we could have such problems in the future.
Mobile phones are getting smaller and smaller. And the buttons are getting closer together. Texting with a smaller phone is worse than using a larger phone with bigger buttons. So it’s a good idea to use a larger phone. If you use a computer keyboard and play video games for long, you may have the same problem. More and more people can find themselves with RSI. What’s the result of keeping sending text messages over and over again?(no more than 8 words)
