      Have you ever dreamed about sending a letter to yourself or your friends in the future? While express mail(快递) is a fast way to send your letters, there is another type of mail appearing in China as a new business—future mail.

      “The letter should be sent next Mother's Day and not a day earlier!” Lin Xiaofan, a college student in Shanghai, tells one of the companies offering the service.

      Lin Xiaofan wrote the letter to her mother nearly a year earlier to express her love to her mother for next Mother's Day.

      “Offering this service makes people slow down and lets them understand the meaning of ‘time' in another way,” said Zheng Zhimin, the manager at a “future mail” company. Zheng thinks “future mail” letters help remind us of care, friendship and love.

      While “future mail” is becoming more and more popular, some people are wondering what will happen if the postal address changes or if the company goes broken before the letters arrive.

      Zheng said customers are glad to sign a contract(合同)to make sure that they can becompensated if their letters are lost or damaged.

       Most of the customers are college students and young white-collar workers. Psychologists  said that young Chinese might have a new way to express their feelings through this service. Most people put their hopes and wishes in the letter so that they can experience the connection between the past and the present when they receive the letter.

      The Internet, mobile phones and Ipads are part of our lives now. Technology is greatly affecting all ways of our lives, from the ways we work to the ways we play. And it even causes a number of social problems such as cloning humans.

      We have had lots of technology and it has changed our lives a lot. There is no doubt that humans will continue to use more and more technology. Here are some examples of modern technology that will change our ideas and will affect our lives greatly.

     Global positioning system (GPS) (全球定位系统)

      It's a system that uses radio signals from satellites to show exact information. It tells you where the user is on the earth in all weather conditions. It's made up of three parts: satellites, control equipments(设备) on land and receivers.

     Space Technology

      Russian and American scientists have worked together for the international Space Station (ISS) for a long time. They hope the ISS will provide a long-lasting lab. Such a lab will bring humans limitless (无限的) advantages. It's even hoped that one day space technology will take humans to their new houses in space.

     Underwater Robot

     Hercules is a kind of underwater robot with some high technology equipments. It will be used to look for ancient ships which were destroyed into the deep sea during their journey long ago.

     The world is changing so quickly that it's hard for us to catch up with all the new inventions because they seem to come out every month. It's important for us to learn about new technology and the role that it plays in our lives. So we should be willing to accept modern technology, or we will fall behind the times.

阅读下面各题，选出符合题意的选项，其中有一项是多余选项。

      Maybe you are an average student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessary so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here's how:

      When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don't forget to set aside enough time for entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.

      Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television! When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.

      Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teachers say. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.

      When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important points that your teacher mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.

       The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won't end if you don't pass a test, so don't be overly worried.

   There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.

A. Study regularly. B. Plan your time carefully. C. Develop a good attitude towards test. D. Make good use of your time in class. E. Find a good place to study. F. Practice it every day.

通读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后在各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中选出一个最佳选项。

       Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In   1  words, we don't educate children only for the purpose of   2   them. Our purpose is to fit them for future. In some modern countries, it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all— 3   stupid or clever, poor or rich one can solve all the   4   of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that   5   education for all is not enough. We find in some countries a far   6  number of people with university degrees refuse to do what they think “low” work, and in fact, work   7 is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But if we think only for a moment, we can understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than   8   of a professor. We can live   9  education, but we will die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the   10   away from our houses, we should get terrible   11   in our towns.

       12 , when we say that all of us must   13  to fit us for life, it means that we must have educated in such a way: Firstly , each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability, and secondly, we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society and that it is very bad to be ashamed 14  one's work.  15 such a type of education can be thought valuable to society.

阅读下面材料, 在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式.

         Wonder why you get angry so (easy) while your friend smiles all the time? It's probably you both have different personalities（个性）.

         Personality is also about people think, behave, and react to everything around them from day to day.

         So what (make) people think and behave in certain ways?

         Part of the reason is that people are born like this. baby gets his blood type, genes(基因）and other physical things when he's still inside his mother. These things may help decide what the baby will be .

        But one's personality doesn't stop here. Family life, school learning and life experience can also make you the person you are. This doesn't mean it's impossible (change) your personality. You can always try to make yourself (good). Don't get too worried about your week points. Just accept them. This is a good way start making changes.

        If you don't know how to make friends, find out why. Is it because you are too shy? Tell (your) to smile at people. Start talking to people using warm greetings.

        Don't give yourself a hard time about it. It's not easy to change lifelong （habit） overnight.

       Keep working at it. One day you'll see that you can turn over a new leaf and be a new one.
