Imagine the situation．You are driving alone 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(位置)．It can find your position within 20 metres．A GPS cannot start your car，but at least you will know where you are．
GPS，which means Global Positioning System，is a small radio receiver．It looks like a mobile phone．You can hold it in your hand，or put it in your 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(计算)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．

"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．
Back in Britain，the person spends about six months of their life waiting in a queue，according to the auction site MadBid．To pass the time，maybe they tell themselves the famous proverb．．Good things come to those who wait．

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)

Do you often watch TV programs? There are many TV programs on Chinese cuisines (烹饪、美食)，but few are like A Bite of China. It tries to bring something new by introducing more cultural features (特征) related to dishes, such as eating habits and wonderful stories about food.
It’s said that more than 100 million Chinese people are watching the program. Most Chinese people regard this program as more than just the regular food shows. They see it as an amazing documentary providing a special view of Chinese as well as the relations between people and food , between people and society.
On the other hand, the documentary also stimulates (刺激) Chinese people’s consumption (消耗). Taobao, one of China’s biggest online shopping sites, reports that the search on food items that were introduced by the documentary has increased to 4 million times in one week, and sales have increased to 5.82 million.
To get enough good stories, the production team spent three months doing research and interviews in about 60 cities before they started making the documentary last July. Filming lasted about nine months. Liu Wen, the director, says “As CCTV-9 serves as a window, allowing the world to better understand China, the documentary aims to help the world not only enjoy the beauty of Chinese cuisines, but also learn Chinese customs.” A Bite of China is a ______.

It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isn’t accepted by all people.
Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don’t need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and mathematics need not be taught in detail (详细地), either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.
Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all take an interest in the world.
I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason. People with little education usually ______.
| A．spend a long time in school |
| B．have a good chance to get a job |
| C．spend the best years to choose jobs |
| D．have fewer chances to get a good job |
The earliest education was probably to ______.
| A．make a man lead a better life |
| B．teach a man to write and think |
| C．make people get a way of living |
| D．teach people to read good books |
The underlined word “well-rounded” in the passage means “______” in Chinese.
| A．圆满的 | B．崭新的 | C．公平的 | D．全面的 |
It is expected that educated people will be able to ______.
| A．accept education as a way of living |
| B．take an interest in the whole world |
| C．develop their abilities to make plays |
| D．learn subjects like language and math |
The passage mainly tells us that ______.
| A．education should make a man improve |
| B．people can get education in a short time |
| C．people should be able to get better paying jobs |
| D．all subjects are so important for a way of living |
