Growing up in Philadelphia, Lieberman started cooking with his stay-at-home dad when he was seven. His food-loving family had two kitchens, and he quickly learned what was the best way to bake his cakes. Lieberman improved his kitchen skills greatly during a year abroad before college, learning from a cook in Italy and studying local specialties（地方特色菜）in Germany, Spain and France. At Yale, he was known for throwing dinner parties, single-handed frying and baking while mixing drinks for dozens of friends. Just for fun, he and some friends decided to tape a show named Campus Cuisine about his cooking. Lieberman was a real college student showing his classmates how to do things like making drinks out of dining-hall fruit. That helped the show become very popular among the students. They would stop Lieberman after classes to ask for his advice on cooking. Tapes of the show were passed around, with which his name went beyond the school and finally to the Food Network.
    Food Network producer Flay hopes the young cook will find a place on the network television. He says Lieberman’s charisma is key.“Food TV isn’t about food any more,” says Flay. “It’s about your personality and finding a way to keep people’s eyeballs on your show.”
    But Lieberman isn’t putting all his eggs in one basket. After taping the first season of the new show, Lieberman was back in his own small kitchen preparing sandwiches. An airline company was looking for someone to come up with a tasteful, inexpensive and easy-to-make menu to serve on its flights, Lieberman got the job.

C. Lieberman’s after-class interest.     D. Lieberman’s fine cooking skill.

4. Why did the airline company give Lieberman the job?

    The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish from each other a

lot. This is because the culture systems are two separate systems    4 1    .

    The origin of the eastern culture is mainly from two countries: China and

India. Both of the two cultures are gestated（孕育）by    42  .In China, the

mother river is the Yellow River,    43    the Indian one is the Hindu River.

These two cultures were    44    for several thousand years and formed their own

styles. Then in Tang Dynasty of China, the Chinese culture    45    went overseas

to Japan,    4 6    into the Japanese society and    47    the Japanese culture

nowadays. Though a bit different from the Chinese one, it    48    to the same

system.

    When the two mother rivers gave birth to the eastern culture, another

famous culture was  49  on the Mesopotamian Plain（米索不达米亚平原）  the

Mesopotamian Civilization. This civilization later on developed into the cultures

of the Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. And these two are well-known as the

  50    of the European culture.    51    the Chinese culture, the European one

also    52    waters. When the colonists of England    53    in America, their

culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean. So the American culture doesn't

    54    from the European one a lot.

    At the same time, the    55    of the language systems adds to the cultural

differences. In the East, most languages belong to the pictographic（象形文字的）

languages while the Western languages are    56    based on the Latin system, for

example, the one I'm using to write this paper.

    Other factors like human race difference    57    as well. However,    58

the far distance and the steep areas between the East and West, the two cultures

seldom    59    until recent centuries.    60    they grew up totally in their own

ways with almost no interference from the other.

IT’S always exciting to think about the future and what kind of technology might exist in years to come. But what if that future is closer than you think?
The name Magic Leap is starting to spread across the Internet, and for a good reason. The Magic Leap technology company in the US has been working on something new and exciting, keeping it so secret that even the people working on the project have been hidden from the media. But recently they have started to release more information, and it seems like the future of computing is about to change dramatically.
Magic Leap’s preview shows the possibility of a classroom where you can interact with a miniature 3-D man and watch animals floating in front of your eyes. You could come face to face with fierce creatures like tigers and sharks, and more might be possible very soon.
The company hopes to create new technology that mixes reality and virtual reality computing. This means that the way we interact with computers could change completely, and so could the gaming industry.
Imagine a game in which you can not only look after a dragon on a screen, but also see it walking around your home, feed it and play with it. This is a world where movies will make you jump as things come, flying at you. Rio Caraeff, the company’s chief content officer, said that instead of staring at a phone screen, “the world becomes your screen”.
All of this could be the next step for Magic Leap, and their newly-released video suggests so. The video shows a small elephant floating in the hands of its user, a virtual reality pet that the user can interact with. Exciting to think about, no?
It seems that the excitement has inspired other companies who are lining up to join in on this new project. The technology, called Cinematic Reality, is attracting the attention of large companies like Google, who are already investing large sums of money in the project hoping to see it become a reality.

12．Which of the following is TRUE about the Magic Leap technology company?
A. The company keeps updating the media on its progress.
B. The company has just discovered a way to mix reality and virtual reality

computing.
C. The company is working on new technology that could improve the future of

computing.
D. The company’s newly released video is about the interaction between a dragon

pet and its user.

13. What could a classroom in the future look like, according to Magic Leap?
A. A miniature 3D man could take the place of teachers.
B. Students could interact with ​virtual reality animals.
C. Students could be encouraged to raise a virtual reality pet on campus.
D. The gaming industry could be invited to help students improve their studies.

14. How could Magic Leap’s technology change the world according to the article?
A. It could discourage people from playing a lot of computer games.
B. It could turn the whole world into an interactive screen for its users.
C. It could help people improve their ability to interact with others.
D. It could make it hard for people to distinguish between virtual reality and reality.

15. What is Google’s attitude toward the technology named “Cinematic Reality”?
A. Optimistic.                              B. Negative.
C. Worried.                                        D. Unconcerned.

Instagram is a fast, beautiful and fun way to share your life with friends and family. Take a picture or video, choose a filter（修图）to transform its look and feel, and then post to Instagram—it’s that easy. You can even share to Facebook, Twitter and more．It’s a new way to see the world. So many photos of food are contained on Instagram—now a pop-up diner in London is taking advantage of this new trend by letting people settle the bill for their meals simply by uploading photos of their dishes to social networks．

I always thought people’s taking pictures of their food was kind of silly, but at this new pop-up restaurant in the UK, I’d probably do it too. “The Picture House” is the world’s first pay-by-photo restaurant. You order, click a photo of the food, share on Instagram and eat for free!

The restaurant belongs to frozen food giant(巨人)Birds Eye, who came up with the idea to cash in on people’s addiction with photographing food and sharing the pictures online. They conducted a survey and found out that more than half of the British population regularly took pictures of their meals．So they realized it was a better way to advertise their new dining range．

The pop-up diner was open in Soho，London for three days in May, and is now moving to other major UK cities．They serve two-course meals that customers don’t have to pay for, if they photo and Instagram it.

    The restaurant is a part of Birds Eye’s “Food for Life” campaign, a new marketing project that aims at changing the way people look at frozen food. “Taking photos of food enables people to show off and to share their mealtime moments—from the everyday to the special, ”said marketing director Margaret Jobling．

    The reaction to the Picture House has been great so far And the pay-by-picture concept has proven to be an effective way. Alternative payment methods are actually gaining popularity among a lot of businesses. Last year in a cafe in Germany customers pay by how much time they spend there, not by what they eat．

32. Instagram probably is________．

   A. a program used to share photos                                     B. a campaign of “Food for Life”

   C. a restaurant free of charge                                        D. a new marketing project

33. What can we infer from the passage?

   A. The Picture House was opened in Scotland

    B. Lots of British people like taking photos of their meals.

    C. The Picture House is the world’s first pay-by-photo restaurant.   

   D. The British people’s response to the Picture House is quite cold.

34. “The Picture House” encourages sharing photos of its food to_______．

    A. raise the price of frozen food                                          B. create a new social media trend

    C. attract more customers                                                          D. reward the regular customers

35. Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?

    A. Food for Life                                                      B. The Pop-up Diner      

   C. No Need to Pay                                                   D. Pay by Picture

              Bullying isn’t just confined to the real world. According to the Cyberbullying Research Center, almost half of all young people have been bullied online. Cyberbullying is a form in which people harm other people online deliberately. And unlike the traditional bully, the electronic bully can remain anonymous, so we often don’t know who they are. Cyberbullying includes things like spreading lies and rumors online, sending or forwarding unpleasant message via instant messaging, text or on social networks. It’s becoming very common among teenagers these days. They are campaigns against cyberbullying and some places have adopted laws to prevent it.

The first decade of the 21st century has been a remarkable period for inventions. Here are some of the most influential inventions in the first decade.

1. iPod and iTunes:

These two inventions from Apple Inc. presented a revolutionary new way for people to listen to music and fundamentally changed the recording industry. iTunes was introduced in January, 2001 and was marketed as a program that transferred (转录) CDs into digital audio files and helped organize digital recordings. Later that year, Apple introduced the iPod, a device (设备)that used a hard disk to store music files. The first model had a 5GB capacity and could hold over 1,000 songs.

2. iPhone:

The iPhone from Apple Inc. was released in June of 2007 and completely changed the way mobile phones are used personally and in business. Older phones typically included voice communications and sometimes a keyboard to send text messages. Phones that offered internet access were usually unreadable and difficult to handle. The iPhone introduced the multi-touch interface(界面) that allows for quick and easy access to data, music, and pictures while providing storage for other important information.

3. Electric Car:

Tesla Motors was formed in 2003. It was the first company to produce a vehicle that did not have significant difficulty in production or sales. Tesla vehicles claim an 88% efficiency rating compared to 20-25% for traditional gasoline-powered cars. According to data from the National Fire Protection Association, a driver is “5 times more likely to experience a fire in a traditional  gasoline car than a Tesla.”

4. Facebook:

Facebook was not the first social networking website, but since its introduction in 2004 it has been the most influential medium. 150 million users worldwide appreciate its multitude of features and easy accessibility. The concept of building connections through internet has changed the manner in which businesses market their products and people interact with one another.

21. What can we learn about iTunes?

A. It is used to store music.

B. It has a hard disk.

C. It turns CDs into digital audio files.
