What would you do if you were a fifth grader facing a huge homework load every
night，and you found out that there was a machine that would do all the work for
you?T hat’s the situation presented tO Sam，Kelsey，Judy and Brenton in Dan Gutman’
s entertaining new book for young
readers，The Homework Machine．
The four children．all fifth graders in Miss Rasmussen’s class at Grand Canyon
School，are as
different as any four 11 year-olds could be，but they have one thing
in common—all are somewhat separated from their classmates。Sam is a newcomer and
has had his share of school trouble before：Kelsey quietly carries her pain at losing
her father；Judy’s sense of justice(正义感)always annoys others；and Brenton…
well，he is another story entirely．Brenton is easily the Smanest child in school,
so smart mat even his parents and teachers have trouble keeping up with him．When
Bren— ton and his three classmates are put into the same study group by their
teacher，me others discover that Brenton has made a time-saving gadget(装置)to do
his homework for him．While the boy genius(天才)is perfectly able to do the homework
himself，Sam，Kelsey and Judy could use the help．
Having perfect grades is something new for these three，and as they meet every
day to“ do homework”，they find that they’re learning a lot—about each other．Such
a good thing Can't last though，and when a secret man starts trying to get in touch
with them，the children begin to get nervous. Soon there’s an even more frightening
problem--why can’t the Homework Machine be turned off?
Told in different voices(as all the children make statements to the Grand Canyon
Police)，the story develops in an interesting fashion．Gutman is a gifted writer
who has written dozens of children’s books，each with a funny and impressing tale
that should be equally liked by boys and girls．

While car sharing is a concept that’s catching on，old—fashioned carpooling
where a group of people take turns driving each other to work has always faced a
resistance(抗拒)．In a study on traffic problems by ABC News，84％of those who drive
to work say that they still do it alone．More than half of those lone riders insist
that carpooling is just too inconvenient，and 18％say they simply don’t know anyone
to share a ride with．
Now technology makes carpooling easier and more fun．NuRide，a company provided
an on-line carpooling service last year，offers daily travelers in the Washington
area not just a web—based list of would—be carpoolers but also a way to arrange
a trip online．Here’s how it works：rider seek—ers enter the positions where their
trip will begin and end，the time they want to leave and if they’re willing to drive
or just ride in someone else’s car．The website’s search engine then looks for
matches and makes lists of the names of traveling companions，along with the car
model and the ex—act time and place to meet for each trip．People who want to share
the ride can show their interest in joining in online and then meet their car mates
when it’s time to 90．
NuRide users aren’t riding with total strangers．They are required to provide
the name of their employer and a work e—mail address，both of which need to be checked
before being listed on the website．
To attract users，NuRide offers a frequent rider prize：anyone who shares a ride
gets a$1 credit．So far，2，300 people have signed up．NuRide CEO Rick Steele said
that more man 50．000 tides have been arranged on the website，resulting in 1．4
million fewer miles driven and 650 fewer tons of automobile emissions(机动车排放)．
60、What has the study found about people’s opinion on carpooling?
A．Most people think it is inconvenient．
B．Only l8％can find their road mates．
C．Some people consider it dangerous．
D．Half of the people accept the idea．
61、 What can NuRide do for you when you use the service?
A．Decide a car model for you to drive．
B．Help you arrange a shared car trip．
C．Find your car mates’true names．
D．Give you a list of car ownerS．
62、One who wants to share a ride with NuRide users must.
A．give information about his interest
B．meet his car mates before the trip
C．offer the name of his employer
D．provide his home address
63、We may infer that NuRide has helped in．
A．improving air quality
C．promoting safety of driving
B．reducing driving speed
D．increasing job opportunities

In my time here at Carleton College，I’ve picked up many valuable pieces of
advice from oth—ers，and have come up with a few of my own．With my time here drawing
to a close．here’s two of the most valuable ones l wish I had known as a freshman(一
年级学生)．
First，don’t expect to join all the clubs here．Taking part in them is good，
but the workload here is too heavy and time with your friends is too limited to devote
yourself to a million and one clubs．Find a couple of things you dig，and you’
11 find yourself much happier than if you had spent your time joining every single
organization that sounds somewhat interesting to you．Als0，don’t always think of
your free time in terms of organizations you can join．Getting really good at some’
thing—an instrument(乐器)，creative writin9，cooking—is just as good a use of your
free time，e—ven if it might never be taken into any r6sum6(简历)．
Second，when Socrates said“Know Yourself”，he was talking about your sleep
schedule．You can fool yourself into thinking that an 8：30 a．m．class in the winter
is the perfect way to get your day started，but you soon may find yourself emailing
the teacher with excuses for being absent．Scheduling all your classes aflemoon is
sometimes equally deadly；you might just end up going out the night before knowing
you can safely sleep in．I’ve found that the way to take classes is to load them
in the middle of the day：nothing before 9:50 a．m．，nothing after 3:10 P．m．
64、Who is probably the author of this text?
A．A student’s parent．
C．A university professor．
B．A graduating student．
D．A freshman at Carleton．
65、 What does the underlined word“dig”in paragraph 2 mean．?
A．make a hole in
B．work hard on
C．research into
D．be fond of
66、What’s the author’s advice about spending free time at college?
A．Setting up an interest group．
C．Joining as many clubs as you can．
B．Enjoying your own hobbies．
D．Staying with friends as much as possible．
67、What’s the best way of taking classes?
A．Attend all the classes at night．
B．Schedule all the classes before noon．
C．Set them at 8：30 a．m．every mornin9． D．Put them from 9：50 a．m．t0 3：
10 P．m．

Your dog is as smart as any two year old，according to a new study．Dogs bring
much happiness to their owners．and even improve human health．Most two year olds
keep us busy in life—an important part of living a long and happy life．According
to Stanley Coren，Ph．D．of the University of British Columbia，our dogs are smarter
than we thought．
Dr．Coren reviewed many studies to find out that dogs are as smart as 2 to 2．5
year olds．For—get about one word orders--according to Coren，the smartest dogs
can learn up to 250 words．Most dogs understand an average of l65 words．“The upper
limit of dogs ability to learn language is partly based on a study of a Border
Collie(博得牧羊犬)named Rico who showed knowledge of 200 spoken words，and fast
—track learning’，which scientists believed to be found only in humans and
language．1earning apes(猿)．”
Dogs are also great at trickin9．During play，they have the ability to trick humans
and other dogs in order to get treats．“And they are nearly as successful in tricking
humans as humans are m tricking dogs，”says Coren．
Dogs can also count to four or five，which might explain how they know when their
toys are missing．Coren explains，“Their astonishing flashes of smartness and
creativity(创造力)are re—minders that they may not be Einsteins，but are sure closer
to humans than we thought．”
Animals can do much to keep US happy，healthy，and protect tlS from harm．Stories
of dog he-roes can be found using a simple Internet search．Pets teach US sense of
duty，keep US from loneliness．and can help with treatment of the disabled．Dogs
are smarter than we thought as smart as a two year old．
