If you ask your parents: “Did you buy salt recently?” They might either say: “Yes, we bought more salt than usual”, or “No, we couldn’t find any in the market.”
This is because of the recent craze(狂熱) of salt buying in China. In big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen, salt almost sold out in only one night.
After the big earthquake in Japan on March 11, there was a nuclear leak(核泄漏). And rumors(傳言) about whether it will affect our daily life appeared: first, iodized(含碘的) salt can keep us from the dangers of radiation(輻射);second, there will be less sea-salt in the ocean because of the nuclear pollution.
Both the government and experts said the rumors were not true, but people still bought as much salt as possible. Why? Many salt-buyers didn’t really care or know what experts or the government were saying. That was the real reason behind the craze of salt buying.
On March 20, the government said the salt market is back to normal. And most of China’s salt is from lakes, not the ocean.
Now, many people want to return the salt they bought. “There is no reason why those people should get their money back,” an article in Xinhua Daily Telegraph said. “They made the craze in the first place.”
Perhaps people should learn a lesson from the salt: don’t believe everything you hear.
小題1:The recent craze of salt buying in China happened because of ________.
A. the earthquake          
B. the rumors              
C. the shortage(缺乏) of salt

試題分析:本文講述的是日本地震之后,引起的核泄漏,使中國人引起了恐慌。人們聽信傳言,海水會被輻射,我們的食用鹽將有危害,于是瘋狂囤積食用鹽。一夜之間,幾乎所有的鹽都被賣光了。后來政府辟謠,我們吃的鹽都是來自湖里,而不是海里。主要告訴我們不要隨便輕信你所聽到的。
小題1:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)原文After the big earthquake in Japan on March 11, there was a nuclear leak可知日本地震之后引起了核泄漏,人們擔(dān)心額輻射對海水的影響會關(guān)聯(lián)到食用鹽,所以引起了買鹽熱潮。故選B。
小題2:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)原文After the big earthquake in Japan on March 11, there was a nuclear leak可知三月11日日本發(fā)生地震,核泄露是在地震之后。故選B。
小題3:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)原文And most of China’s salt is from lakes, not the ocean.可知中國的食鹽主要來自湖泊,而不是海洋。故選A。
小題4:判斷對錯題。根據(jù)原文In big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen, salt almost sold out in only one night.可知所有的食鹽幾乎在一夜之間賣光了。故選C。

If you take away many sentences from somebody's written work as your own without permission, it's called plagiarism,but if you take the knowledge from a piece of work by another and change the words, then it's not plagiarism. This is the difference between using the Internet and plagiarism. If you are given homework to work out math problems, then you should use your brain without a computer! If the teacher asks you to learn something about a famous literary person, you can use the computer. If you take down the main important information of the task, it’s OK. However, if you run to the computer to do your thinking for you all the time, you don’t exercise your brain and you will forget how to work out a problem. By using a computer, students may get a useful answer fast, to finish homework, but when they have to face an exam, they will not be ready for it.
Though teachers say finding or buying homework answers online is not many in schools, an interview with school students shows only 10% hopes to finish their holiday homework by themselves. They complain that the homework is too much for them to finish. Besides, many of students have to go to all kinds of training classes during the holiday. These take away much of their time for doing homework. So they want to find or even buy answers online or copy each other's homework. Students should learn that being a student is about getting skills, but not just getting quick, cheap "answers" for homework problems. I mean we should use the computer properly.
小題1:If you want to look up some information about something or somebody, you____.
A.should work it out by yourself
B.can turn to a computer for help
C.must discuss it with your teacher
D.will meet problems with plagiarism

Your parents always tell you that a good education is the key to a bright future. The promise you made to finish your schooling has been completed. Another few years in some college classroom just doesn’t sound too attractive; so what are your choices? Let’s see, Choice One—You can live with your parents and do nothing. Or Choice Two—You could get yourself a job. Of course, there are other choices, but for this little discussion, we’ll just suppose that they aren’t related (有關(guān)的).
OK, so Choice Two is obviously going to be more effective. You will finally enter the real world. Well, hopefully high school helped to give you some kind of an idea of what type of job you would like to enter. If not, then it would be a good idea to speak with an expert working in the field you may be interested in before you jump into a job that you won’t like. Gaining knowledge can be good by helping you find the job that you will enjoy doing. Another reason to get some valued things before working. Internships (見習(xí)) or volunteering are usually a good place to start.
If you are ready to begin a job after high school, you will save money from college cost and happily making a living in your chosen jobs. From another point of view, jumping into the workforce (勞動力) is sometimes the only way to see for yourself if you are ready to work a 40-hour week yet. If you decide that full time work is not what you are ready for, then this may advise that you should go back to a university and get a certificate.
