Passage Four
It is still sometimes difficult to understand why those between ages 10 and 18 would endanger their lives by joining armed forces or rebel groups and become fighting soldiers. The recently published book， Young Soldier， Why They Choose to Fight By Rachel Brett and Irma Specht， tries to find an answer.
There is no doubt that children fight in most armed conflicts today. While international attention focuses largely on those who are forced into battles， thousands more enlist （應征入伍） voluntarily.
In an attempt to to understand the young who take up arms， Brett and Specht interviewed 53 boy and girl soldiers and ex-soldiers from around the world， Afghanistan ， Colombia， the Republic of the Congo for example. All interviewees were involved with armed forces or armed groups before the age of 18 and all classified themselves as volunteers.
What these two field officers heard is “I joined involuntarily- if you have nothing， you volunteer for the army”。 Other reasons young people gave are self- defense， revenge， poverty， and unemployment.
But while it is common knowledge that most child soldiers come from poor and disadvantaged backgrounds， Young Soldiers shows that the issue is far more complex. Many poor children do not join the army. The environmental， educational， social， cultural， and highly personal factors determine whether someone decide to join up or not.
The battlefield is not a place for children. One young soldier described being there as “too sad an experience”。 The authors hope that by understanding why teenagers join up， those child soldiers should know how to discourage others from the same tragedy.
1. Young Soldiers， Why They Choose to Fight is ______.
A. a book B. a magazine C. a news report D. a TV program
2. According to paragraph 3， Brett and Specht‘s interviewees _______.
A. joined armed forces under 18
B. considered going into the army their duty
C. were only from African countries
D. were mainly the ex-soldiers
3. The reasons shown in young soldiers for children to join the army are______.
A. very simple B. very complex C. unknown D. unbelievable
4.The writers of Young Soldiers probably expect that ______.
A. child soldier would leave armed forces
B. they could find more than 53 interviewees
C. no more children would join armed forces
D. there would be no wars in the world
5. The tone of the passage is ______.
A. pleasant B. indifferent C. humorous D. objective
Passage Five
It‘s interesting that technology often works as a servant for us， yet frequently we become a servant to it. E-mail is a useful tool but many feel controlled by this new vehicle. The average businessperson is getting about 80-e-mails per day and many feel that about 80% of the messages in their “In Box” are of little or no value.
So， I have four suggestions to help you to become better at “Easing E-mail”。
1.Get off the lists. The best way to deal with a problem is to never have it. If you are receiving a lot of unwanted e-mails， ask to be removed from the various lists. This would include your inclusion in unwanted “cc” lists.
2.“Unlisted address”。 Just like getting an “unlisted” telephone number that you share only with those whom you want to give direct access， you might want to get a separate e-mail address only for the important communications you wish to receive.
3.Check it once or twice per day. Many I speak with are becoming chained to their email server， monitoring incoming email on a continuous basis. Maybe this is because e-mail creates its own sense of urgency， but most of the communications are not all that urgent. I respond to them a couple of times per day.
4.Deal with it. As you open each e-mail do one of the following：
a.If it requires a quick response， respond to it and delete it.
b.If it requires a response but is not the best use of your time， try to find someone else to do it.
c.If it is going to take any serious amount of time to respond， schedule it for action in your Day Planner and then download the message， save it， or print it out for future action.
I personally receive approximately 250 e-mails per day and by practicing the suggestions above， I can handle that volume in about an hour， taking advantage of this fantastic tool but not being controlled by it to the distraction of more important tasks in my day.
1. The passage is about ______.
A. how to check e-mails
B. how to collect e-mails
C. how to deal with your daily e-mails
D. how to deal with 80% valueless e-mails
2. If you get unwanted e-mails， the best you can do is to______.
A. make a list of them
B. put them into “cc” lists
C. send them to a special address
D. delete them from different lists
3. For the important communications， the writer suggests that you______.
A. have a direct access for them
B. have several e-mail servers for them
C. get an unlisted phone number for them
D. get a special e-mail address for them
4. To avoid being chained by the coming e-mails， what you can do is to ______.
A. respond urgent ones only
B. reply all of them at the same time
C. handle them a couple of times daily
D. keep replying e-mails all day long
5. To deal with an e-mail you get， you can do the following EXCEPT______.
A. downloading every e-mail before you reply
B. responding right away if it‘s urgent
C. scheduling it for later reply if it takes much time
D. asking someone else to reply it if it‘s not at your convenience
Passage Six
During the Christmas shopping rush in London， the interesting story was reported of a tramp who， apparently though no fault of his own， found himself locked in a well-known chain store late on Christmas Eve. No doubt the store was crowded with last-minute Christmas shoppers and the staff were dead beat and longing to get home. Probably all the proper security checks were made before the store was locked and they left to enjoy the three-day holiday untroubled by customers desperate to get last-minute Christmas presents.
However ridiculous that may be， our tramp found himself alone in the store and decided to make the best of it. There was food， drink， bedding and camping equipment， of which he made good use. There must also have been television sets and radios. Though it was not reported if he took advantages of these facilities， when the shop reopened he was discovered in bed with a large number of empty bottles beside him. He seem to have been a man of good humor as indeed tramps very commonly are.
Everyone else was enjoying Christmas， so he saw no good reason why he should not do the same. He yielded himself cheerfully， and was taken by the police. Perhaps he had had a better Christmas than usual. He was sent to prison for seven days. The judge awarded no compensation to the chain store for the food and drink our tramp had consumed. They had， in his opinion， already received valuable free publicity from the story revealed in the newspaper and on television. Perhaps the judge had had a good Christmas， too.
1.The tramp was locked in the store ______.
A. for 7 days B. on purpose C. by accident D. for security reasons
2. It can be inferred from the passage that the underlined phrase “dead beat” in paragraph 1 means ______. A. angry B. exhausted C. forgetful D. careless
3. Which of the following was uncertain about the tramp after he was locked in the store？
A. He watched TV. B. He was well fed. C. he had a sound sleep D. He had a good drink.
4. When the tramp was arrested， he ______.
A. was drunk B. felt he deserved it C. made no resistance D. felt himself wronged
5. The judge didn‘t award compensation to the chain store because ______.
A. the store was responsible for what happened
B. the report of the event benefited the store a lot
C. the tramp had stolen nothing of value
D. the tramp was penniless
