Today just as technology changed the face of industry, farms have undergone an “agricultural revolution”. On the farm of today, machines provide almost all the power.
One of the most important benefits will be the farm computer. A few forward-looking farmers are already using computers to help them run their farms more efficiently.The computers help them keep more accurate records, so they can make better decisions on what crops to plant, how much livestock to buy, when to sell their products, and how much profit they can expect. Many computer companies have been developing special computer programs just for famers. Programs are being written for hog producers, grain farmers, potato farmers, and dairy farmers. In the future, farmers will be able to purchase computer programs made to their needs. Because of the growing importance of computers on the farm,students at agricultural colleges are required to take computer classes in addition to their normal agricultural courses. There can be no doubt that farmers will rely on computers even more in the future. While the old-time farm depended on horse power, and modern farms depend on machine power,farms of the future will depend on computer power.
Another technological advance which is sill in the experimenal stage is the robot, a real “mechanized hired hand” that will be able to move and, in some ways, think like a human being. Agricultural engineers believe that computer-aided robots wil make starting changes in farming before the end of the century. Unlike farmers of the present, farmers of the future will find that many day-to-day tasks will be done for them. Scientists are now developing robots that will be able to shear sheep, drive tractors, and harvest fruit. Even complex jobs will be done by robots. For example, in order to milk their cows, farmers must first drive them into the barn, then connect them to the milking machines, watch the machines, and disconnect them when they are finished. In the future, this will all be done by robots. In addition, when the milking is completed, the robots will automatically check to make sure that the milk is pure. The complete mobilization of the farm is far in the future, but engineers expect that some robots will be used before long.
According to the passage, computers can not help farmers decide（）。

Diana Jacobs thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21-year-old twin sons: a combination of savings, income, scholarships, and a modest amount of borrowing. Then her husband lost his job, and the plan fell apart.
“I have two kids in college, and I want to say ‘come home’, but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education,” says Jacobs.
The Jacobs family did work out a solution: They asked and received more aid from the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal Loan （贷款）program. They will each graduate with $20,000 of debt, but at least they will be able to finish school.
With unemployment rising, financial aid administrators expect to hear more families like the Jacobs. More students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans. College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around.
At the same time, tuition（学费）continues to rise. A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% during the past 20 years, while average family income rose just 147%. Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade, “If we go on this way for anoher 25 years, we won’t have an affordable system of higher education,” says Patrick M.Callan, president of the center. “The middle class families have been financing it through debt. They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.”
Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. The good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.
According to the last paragraph, the government will（）。

Fungi（真菌）are so different from plants and animals that they are unique beings.They are their own kingdom. The evolution of fungi has radiated into so many different directions. The best estimate is that there are as many as 3.8 million species of fungi worldwide—though only about 144,000 have been discovered, according to this year’s State of the World’s Fungi report. New ones are found by searching forested areas, collecting soil samples and bringing the samples back to the lab to be studied.
Fungi have an abundance of applications that can benefit humankind in the production of food and alcohol, drugs, biofuels, and surprisingly the famous childhood toy: LEGO. Fungi could even solve world’s plastic crisis, scientists say. Their nutritional value shouldn’t be oveloked, either. There are about 350 species of eatable fungi. With vitamin D and other nutrients, they can reduce oxidative stress（氧化应激）linked to diseases such as cancer and heart disease.
In the wild, fungi are not able to move, so they compete against other fungi or bacteria for resources and, in doing so, produce toxic chemicals. In some cases, these chemicals have been useful to humans.
Once samples reach the laboratory, they are grown inside a dish and cut ino pieces, which are then put into a bottle with a liquid of nutrients such as minerals and vitamins and a carbon source to help the fungi grow. Fungi grow by releasing proteins that speed up chemical reactions, which are captured by the liquid inside the bottle, allowing them to be sudied in depth.
Thousands of fungi are studied before researchers stumble upon one that could have an application. It’s like a “lottery ticket”, as each discovery could turn up something that can make a difference in the world, something that can make a greener industry possible, and so on.
According to the passage, fungi produce toxic chenicals in order to（）。

A little boy in South Carolina got to celebrate his birthday twice. After only one friend showed up to his birthday party, the local fire department decided to throw him another on.
The City of Beaufort Fire Deparment shared the story of a party the fire department held for a local boy named Cooper, who was disappointed when only one of his classmates showed up to his 6th birthday party. But after a community member gave the local fire department a call, the members were quick to come to his rescue.
“We jumped on board and said we’ll do whatever we can to make sure be has a great birthday and that more han one child shows up,” Beaufor firefighter Ross Vezin says. “We made arrangements to pick him up from school along with his mom and brother, and we brought him to a bowling alley（保龄球场）along with a biker group.”
The fire department was also able to bring nearly 75 other kids from school to celebrate alongside Cooper, whose mother, Nicoala Shiflet, said he has difficulty making friends because he suffers from autism（自闭症）. “They had cake and presents and got to do some bowling，” Vezin continues, adding that the party came to be known as “Coopers Birthday 2.0”.
From riding in a fire truck to seeing the motorcycles fom the biker group and evening welcomed by so many new friends, Cooper loved his celebration. And it won’t be the last time that the little boy gets to hang out with the fire department responsible for it.
“We’re also going to have him up next week,” Vezin says. “We’re going to give him a fire department T-shirt and a tour of our fire station.”

In 1950, Helena Rubinstein was one of the richest women in the world.She started with nothing. She had no money, no education, and no one to help her. All she had were 12 jars of face cream and a lot of energy and ambition. She turned there into a multimillion-dollar cosmetics （化妆品）empire.
Helena Rubinstein was born in 1870 in Krakow, Poland.She was the oldest of eight girls. Helena’s mother thought that beauty was very important. She used a special skin cream that a foreign chemist made for her. Helena’s mother made all of her daughters use it too.
Helena’s father wanted her to be a doctor. But she hated medicine and left school. Her father was very angry. Then he wanted her to get married, but she refused.In 1992, she went to Melbourne, Australia, to live with a cousin and an uncle. She took only her clothes and 12 jars of face cream.
Helena didn’t speak English. She had no money and no plans. After she arrived, everyone noticed her beautiful skin. In Australia, the hot and dry weather is very bad for the skin. When she told some of the women about the face cream, they all wanted some. Helena sold them her cream and then ordered more.
Helena borrowed $1,500 and opened a shop to sell the cream. She worked 18 hours a day, seven days a week. She lived simply and saved all of her profits. She also learned how to make different kinds of creams and showed women how to take care of their skin. It was the first shop of this kind in the world.
In less than two years, Rubinstein had paid her loan and saved $50,000. She made more and more money every year. All this time, she thought only of work and success. A newspaper reporter named Edward Titus was in love with her. But she was not interested in him. She left Australia and went to Europe to learn more about the science of beauty.

Every single thing you are not satisfied with in your life is a result of a bad habit. If you don’t have enough money，it’s because bad habits kept you from taking action. If you are not as fit as you would like to be, it’s because of bad habits that kept you glued to the couch.
Would you like to change that ? The only thing that separates successes from failures is successful habits. But developing good habits is easier said than done. We find it hard to build good habits because we spend every day floating down the river of life with no oars (浆) .So what should we do?
Henry Ford said it best, “Whether you think you can,or you think you can’t，you’re right. ” Belief is the root of change. The strongest force in human behavior is the need to act in line with our self-identity or our belief of who we are. To change a habit, you must believe that you can actually do it.
Often our habits are so conditioned into our being that we move through those patterns without any thought or consciousness as to what we are doing. Interrupting the old patterns creates a space for new ones. A few ways to interrupt your pattern are to shock yourself or say something funny that makes you laugh or interrupt it through some physical action. One woman put a can of dog food next to her fridge to interrupt her pattern every time she reached out for some junk food.
The possibilities are limited only by your imagination. The goal is to get you out of a preprogrammed way of being by engaging in a behavior that shocks you，so as to change your state and help you move into another pattern.
The phrase“floating down the river of life with no oars”( ParA .2) means that people tend to_______.

Can eating a chocolate bar every day really prevent age-related memory loss? People would say “No”. Can eating chocolate cake for breakfast, lunch and dinner be good for your heart? Again, they would say“No”,because that would be too good to be true.
But new research shows that large amounts of flavanols （黄烧醇），substances found in cocoa （可可），tea and some vegetables, may reverse age-related memory failure. Another study is looking to see if high levels of cocoa flavanols can help prevent heart attacks and strokes.
Flavanols found in dark chocolate are known to increase blood flow in the part of the brain that controls memory. They also help prevent heart disease by lowering blood pressure and “bad” cholesterol （胆固醇）.A new study published online found that cocoa flavanols reverse minor memory loss in older adults.
Dr. Scott Small, a professor at Columbia University, is the lead writer of a research paper describing the effects of cocoa flavanols on brain activity. The study involved 37 volunteers aged between 50 and 69. Researchers gave them a high-level flavanol drink made from cocoa beans or a low-level flavanol drink. For a period of three months, some subjects got 900mg of flavanol a day while the others got 10mg.
Brain imaging and memory tests were given to each subject before and after the study. Dr. Small says that the subjects who had the high-level flavanol drink showed much improvement on memory tests. The researchers warn that more work is needed because this study was performed on a small group. Researchers at Women ’s Hospital in Boston recently announced plans to do just that.

Brain drain, which is the action of having highly skilled and educated people leaving their country to work abroad, has become one of the developing countries’ concerns. Brain drain is also referred to as human capital flight. More and more third world science-and-technology-educated people are heading for more prosperous countries seeking higher wages and better working conditions. This has of course serious consequences on the sending countries.
While many people believe that immigration is a persona] choice that must be understood and respected, others look at the phenomenon from a different perspective. What makes those educated people leave their countries should be seriously considered and a distinction between push and pull factors must be made. The push factors include low wages and lack of satisfactory working and living conditions. Social unrest, political conflicts and wars may also be determining causes. The pull factors, however, include academic freedom and extensive funds for research.
Brain drain has negative impact on the sending countries ’economic prospects and competitiveness. It reduces the number of dynamic and creative people who can contribute to the development of their country. Likewise, with more entrepreneurs （企业家）taking their investments abroad, developing countries are missing an opportunity of wealth creation. This has also negative consequences on tax revenue and employment.
Most of the measures taken so far have not had any success in softening the effects of brain drain. One option is to provide adequate working and living conditions in the sending countries. Another option should involve encouraging the expatriates（侨民）to contribute their skill to the development of their countries without necessarily moving back home.
What can be viewed as a pull factor according to the author?

The following is an African folktale:
Long ago the sky was close to the Earth. People did not have to plant their own food. Instead when they were hungry, they just reached up and broke off a piece of the sky to eat. Sometimes the sky tasted like ripe bananas. Other times it tasted like roasted potatoes. The sky was always delicious.
People spent their time making beautiful cloth. They painted beautiful pictures and sang songs at night. The grand king, Oba, had a wonderful palace. His servants made beautiful shapes out of pieces of the sky.
Many people in the kingdom did not use the gift of the sky wisely. When they took more than they could eat, the sky became angry. Some people threw the extra pieces into the garbage.
Early one morning the angry sky turned dark. Black clouds hung over the land, and a great sky voice said to all the people, “You are wasting my gift of food. Do not take more than you can eat. I don’t want to see pieces of me in the garbage anymore or I will take my gift away ”
The king and the people trembled with fear. King Oba said, “Let’s be careful about how much food we take.” For a long time, all the people were careful.
But one man named Adami wasn’t careful. At festival time, he took so many delicious pieces of the sky that he couldn’t eat them all. He knew he must not throw them away. So he decided to try to hide the pieces at the bottom of the garbage pile.
Suddenly, the sky became angry and the clouds turned black. “You have wasted my gift of food again,” yelled the sky. “This time I will go away so you cannot waste me anymore. You will have to learn how to plant crops in the ground and hunt in the forests. If you work hard, you may learn not to waste the gifts of nature.”
Everyone watched as the sky sailed away. From that time on, they worked hard to grow their food and cook their meals. They always tried to remember not to waste the gifts of nature.
How did the sky show that it was angry（）?

There’s a professor at the University of Toronto in Canada who has come up with a term to describe way a lot of us North Americans interact these days. And now a big research study confirms it.
Barry Wellman’s term is “networked individualism.” It’s not the easiest concept to grasp. In fact, the words seem to contradict each other. How can we be individualistic and networked at the same time? You need other people for networks.
Here’s what he means. Until the Internet and e-mail came along, our social networks involved flesh-and-blood relatives, friends, neighbors, and colleagues at work. Some of the interaction was by phone, but it was mainly person to person, in real time.
But the latest study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project confirms that for a lot of people, electronic interaction through the computer has replaced a great deal of social interchange. A lot of folks Pew talked with say that’s a good thing, because of concerns that the Internet was turning us into hermits（隐居者）who shut out other people in favor of a make-believe world on computer screens.
To the contrary, the Pew study discovered that the Internet has put us in touch with many MORE real people than we’d have ever imagined. Helpful people, too. We’re turning to an ever-growing list of cyber friends for advice on careers, medical crises, child-rearing, and choosing a school or college. About 60 million Americans told Pew that the Internet plays an important or crucial role in helping them deal with major life decision.
So we networked individuals are pretty tricky: We’re keeping more to ourselves, while at the same time reaching out to more people, all with just the click of a computer mouse!
Which of the following has happened since the invention of the Internet（）?

阅读下文，并将其中加粗部分译成中文。 In this media-focused world, the things we see and hear in the movies, on TV, and on the radio influence us all. Some of these influences are harmless or even beneficial to the forming minds of youth. But many others provide young people with questionable messages, for example, the MTV successes “Jersey Shore” and “My New BFF.” The stars of these shows do not commit technically immoral acts; they simply commit mindless ones. The lack of obviously immoral behavior leads many viewers to conclude that the shows are harmless. 【1】We can recognize when behavior lacks common sence, however, the greater danger is that we have been conditioned by the media to view mindlessness as acceptable. I am disgusted with TV programs and movies that promote mindless behavior. 【2】The stars of there shows demonstrate to young people—particularly girls—that it is attractive to be dumb. That idea feeds into other self-image issues that girls already experience, and I believe this is affecting the future of our nation. If we want to have any hope for our society, we must stop this trend of stupidity. Mixed in with all the blatant messages that young people are gathering from the media is a hint that it is attractive to be dense—especially for young women. 【3】Paris Hilton has readily admitted that she is not familiar with common knowledge, including the function of the Walmart stores and the capital city of England. Despite these intellectual failings, Hilton has been linked romantically to the rich and famous—models, musicians, actors, and businessmen—showing young women that desirable men find her dullness attractive. 【4】These negative examples lead girls to imitate Hilton in order to gain male attention: this begins young—perhaps as early as grade school—and only grows during the teen years. Some people may view the “stupid girl” trend as a simple display of childishness. If this were the case, the idea of girls playing dumb would not alarm thinking people as it does.However,the immaturity of youth is not to blame; stupid girls are growing up to be stupid women and having children. What will these mothers teach the future leaders of our nation? Will teach their daughters to always wear makeup and encourage their sons to pursue silly girls? 【5】If this cycle continues, our country will be run into the ground in a matter of a few generations!
