25、 Paper was first made in the year 105. It was made by a Chinese named Cai Lun.

  People in Japan learned of paper around the year 600. As years went by， people in other places began to make paper.

  The lead(铅) pencil is not made of lead. It is made of graphite(石墨). People found graphite in 1564. They thought it was a kind of lead. Today we still call pencils “lead pencils”. The first pencils were made by putting strings(线) around sticks of graphite.

  The first wooden pencils were made by Kasper Faber from Germany in 1761.

  Erasers like those we use today were first made in France by a man named Magellan in 1752. It was Hyman L. Lipman who first put eraser on the ends of pencils. And that is how the pencils come to be.

【1】How many years earlier was paper made in China than in Japan?

A. About 100 years.

26、Imagine you’re at a party full of strangers. You’re nervous. Who are these people? How do you start a conversation? Luckily, you’ve got a thing that sends out energy at small chips（芯片） in everyone’s name tag（标签）.The chips send back name, job, hobbies－whatever. Making new friends becomes simple.

This hasn’t quite happened in real life. But the world is already experiencing a new age of using RFID technology.

An RFID tag with a small chip can be fixed in a product, under your pet’s skin（皮肤）, even under your own skin. Some RFID tags have no energy source because they do not need it. The energy comes from a scanning device（扫描装置）, which sends out energy and starts up the tag immediately.

Such a tag carries information to that object, and the information can be renewed. Already, RFID technology is used for recognizing（识别） each car or truck on the road and it might appear in your passport. Doctors may put a small chip under the skin to get a patient’s medical records. At a nightclub in Paris or in New York the same chip might get you to pay for the bill with the wave of an arm.

Take a step back: 10 or 12 years ago, you would have heard about the coming age of computing. One example always seemed to surface: Your refrigerator would know when you needed to buy more milk. The idea was that computer chips could be put everywhere and send information in a smart network that would make life simpler.

RFID tags are a small part of this situation. “The world is going to be a connected set of personal small devices.” predicts Dr. J. Reich. But some people are nervous about the possibilities of such technology. It goes too far tracking（跟踪）school kids through RFID tags, they say.

When Marconi invented radio, he thought it would be used for ship-to-shore communication, not for pop music. Who knows how RFID and other technologies will be used in the future. Here’s a wild guess: Not for buying milk.

【1】The article is intended to______.

A. warn people of the possible risks in adopting RFID technology

B. explain the benefits brought about by RFID technology

C. convince people of the uses of RFID technology

D. predict the applications of RFID technology

【2】We know from the passage that with the help of RFID tags, people_____.

A. will have no trouble getting data about others

B. will have more energy for conversation

C. will have more time to make friends

D. won’t feel shy at parties any longer

【3】Passive RFID tags chiefly consist of____.

A. scanning devices   B. radio waves

C. batteries   D. chips

【4】Why are some people worried about RFID technology?

A. Because children will be tracked by strangers.

B. Because market competition will become fiercer.

C. Because their private lives will be greatly affected.

D. Because customers will be forced to buy more products.

27、Speaking English freely might be difficult for you now. But all you need are the right ways and confidence(自信) . I have some advice for you.

Stop Being a Student

Stop thinking of yourself as someone who is learning English and think of yourself as someone who speaks English. It’s a small change, but it will make you feel more confident and help you use the English you already know better.

Try to Learn Phrases

Speaking English freely means being able to express your thoughts and feelings. Your aim is to speak English in full sentences, so why not learn it in full sentences? You’ll find that English is more useful in your life if you study whole phrases, rather than just simple words.

▲__________

Studying English for an hour once a week isn’t usually enough to make any real progress. The best way to quickly improve your English is to spend at least a few minutes practicing every day.

Don’t Be Afraid to Make Mistakes

Sometimes it can be difficult to put all those rules and words together into a simple sentence. Don’t let the fear of saying something wrong stop you from speaking. Even if you think you’re making a mistake, keep speaking anyway. Most of the time, people will understand what you’re trying to say. The more you speak, the easier it will be.

【1】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A．Practicing English every day helps you make greater progress.
