25、A group of frogs (青蛙) were travelling through the bush when two of them fell into a deep hole. The other frogs tried to help them. When they saw how deep the hole was, they told the two frogs that they could not be saved and that they were almost dead. The two frogs didn’t listen to their words and tried their best to jump out of the hole. But the other frogs kept telling them to stop. Finally, one of the frogs listened to what the other frogs were saying and gave up. He fell down and died.

The other frog, however, continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs shouted at him to give up and wait for death. He jumped even harder and finally made it out. When he got out, the other frogs asked, “Didn’t you hear us?” The frog explained that he had poor hearing. He thought they were encouraging him the whole time.

27、Being able to multitask-- doing several things at the same time--is considered a welcome skill by most people. But if we consider the situation of the young people aged from eight to eighteen, we should think again.

What we often see nowadays is that young peoplejugglea larger number of electronic products as they study. While working, they also surf on the Internet, send out emails, answer the telephone and listen to music on their iPods. In a sense, they are spending a large amount of time in fruitless efforts as they multitask.

Multitasking is even changing the relationship between family members. As young people give so much attention to their own worlds, they seem to have no time to spend with the other people around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house, nor can they eat at the family table.

Multitasking also has an effect on young people's performance at university and in the workplace. When asked about their opinions of the effects of modern gadgets (器具) on their performance of tasks, many young people gave a positive (肯定的) answer. However, the response from the worlds of education and business was not quite as positive. Educators feel that multitasking by children has a serious effect on later development of study skills. They believe that many college students now need help to improve their study skills. Similarly, employers (雇主) feel that young people entering the job market need to be taught all over again, as modern gadgets have made it unnecessary for them to learn special skills to do their work.

【1】What does the underlined word "juggle" most probably mean?

A.Want to buy.

B.Use at the same time.

C.Take the place of.

D.Search information from.

【2】In Paragraph 3, the author points out that ________.

A.family members do not greet each other

B.family members do not eat at the family table

C.young people get on well with their families

D.young people hardly communicate with their family members

【3】What's the main idea of the last paragraph?

A.Young people must learn skills for future jobs.

B.Young people benefit (获益) a lot from modern gadgets.

C.Multitasking is an important skill to young people.

D.Multitasking influences young people's development seriously.

【4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.Young people think multitasking is good for their study and work.

B.Employers consider it unnecessary for young people to be taught all over again.

C.Educators feel that young people don't need to improve their study skills.

D.People from the world of education believe multitasking has a good effect on children's later study skills.

【5】The author develops (阐述) the passage mainly by ________.

A.providing special examples

B.following the natural time order

C.giving out a cause and analyzing (分析) its effects

D.comparing opinions from different worlds

28、   Emma and Emily are twins. They look so similar that even their parents have d【1】telling the differences between them just by appearance. But actually the girls are different in most other ways. For example, Emma likes spicy food, while Emily p【2】 sweet food. Emma loves the color indigo, while Emily loves the color violet. Emma likes studying at night, while Emily would r【3】 do it in the morning.

So the twins often argue (争论) about lots of things. Here is a real case. When Emma saidwaking up early in the morning was terrible, Emily argued. “Mornings are fresh. The air in the morning can always c【4】 me up. On the contrary (相反), I think it's difficult to stay up late when you feel so sleepy!” In the end, their parents made a d【5】 to put an end to their argument and taught them that they could b【6】be correct. But the girls remained skeptical (怀疑的).

That day, their father s【7】 Emma stand on one side of a board and Emily on the other side. They couldn’t see each other's side. Their father asked, "What color is the board, girls?” Emma said it was black, while Emily said it was white. They started arguing again. The father asked them to c【8】 places. They were both quite surprised to d【9】 that the board on Emma’s side had been painted black and on Emily’s side had been painted white. Both of them were correct.

Many of us are just like Emma and Emily. We may insist (坚持) that we are right most of the time, only to find out that o【10】 can be right as well.
