But would you like them to hear the conversations you have with your friends on the school playground or lunch queue? Social networking sites have become extensions （延伸）of the school hallways, so would you add your parents as “friends” and allow them to view your online activities and conversations with friends?In the past the generatrion gap included a technology gap, where children were up to date with latest technology and parents were left behind, content to continue their day to day lives as they always had because they had no need to know more about technology. However, more and more parents are beginning to realize just how important social networks are in their lives. This realization has given many parents the motivation to educate themselves about social networking sites.These days many people are attracted to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them; theres also a certain amount of control over privacy that we don' t get in real life. Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated （侵才U） when we must accept a ,friend” request from a parent or family member.It' s a difficult choice whether or not to allow a parent to become a part of our online lives. On the one hand we don' t,want to “reject” their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to hide. On the other hand if you do accept, then you could have a sense of being watched and no longer feel free to comment or communicate the way you did before.A recent survey suggested that parents shouldn' t take it personally if their child ignores their request: "When a teen ignores a parent? s friend request, it doesn, t necessarily mean that they are hiding something, but it could mean that this is one part of their life where they want to be independent. ”Perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would help soften the blow if you do choose not to add them to your friends list.21. The passage is mainly about .A. privacy onlineB. parents' friend requestsC. the generation gapD. social networks22. From Paragraph 2, we learn that .A. parents have realized the importance of social networksB. parents feel secure about their privacy onlineC. social networks successfully fill the generation gapD. social networks offer a platform for parents to communicate23. Teenagers may refuse a parent, s friend request because .A. their parents make negative comments on themB. they hide something from their parentsC. they are unwilling to be watched by parentsD. their parents tend to fall behind in technology24. The passage is written mainly for .A. parentsB. teachersC. researchersD. teenagers【参考答案】2124 BACDAUsually, when your teacher asks a question, there is only one correct answer. But there is one question that has millions of current answers. That question is "What' s your name?” Everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct.Have you ever wondered about people' s names? Where do they come from? What do they mean?People, s first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. Sometimes .the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used. Some parents choose the name of a well-known person. A boy could be named George Washington Smith; a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones.Some people give their children names that mean good things. Clara means “bright”; Beatrice means “one who gives happiness” ; Donald means uworld ruler” ; Leonard means “as brave as a lion” .The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near brook（小溪）；someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.Other early surnames came from people' s occupations. The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. In the past, smiths were very important workers in every town and village. Some other occupational names are: Carter 一 a person who owned or drove a cart; Potter 一a person who made pots and pans.The ancestors of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village. The Carpenter? s great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture.Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities. When there were two men who were named John in the same village, the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray. Or the John who was very tall could call himself John Tailman. John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.Some family names were made by adding something to the father? s name. English-speaking people added - s or - son. The Johnsons are descendants of John; the Roberts family' s ancestor was Robert. Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Me or 0. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the McDonnells and the O' Donnells are descendants of the same Donnell.1. Which of the following aspects do the surnames in the passage NOT cover?A.

Two years later, in October 2006, she launched myshape. com. Customers go online to enter their measurements (there are 11, from arm length to hip width) and are assigned one of seven body types based on their proportions. Software identifies selections for each shape by price (as low as $14. 49 for a top, up to $605 for a coat), profile (modern classic, romantic glam, and artistic trendy), designer (from August Silk to Tadashi), and lifestyle (work attire to dress-up).Wannier had a degree in textile design and an MBA, but she had a lot to learn about the garment industry. And while she had money from the sale of one of her businesses to kick-start MyShape, she needed investors. Most of those prospects were men, and they simply didn't get the concept-until they saw models of various shapes and sizes in leotards, complete with lumps, bumps, and bulges. They were impressed with Wannier，s vision and hopped on board, putting up $32 million and helping her develop a business plan while she designed and patented the technology.Once Wannier had a prototype, she set up an online survey for potential customers. Within 24 hours, she got over 700 responses; a third of them signed up. We were astonished,，z recalls Wannier, who double-checked the results just to be sure. It convinced us there really was a demand. Wannier had an e-commerce site, but she still needed something to sell on it.She moved out of her kitchen and into an office and brought in retail specialists who could persuade skeptical designers to entrust their clothes to a start-up without an established reputation. She refers to that period as a "bit of madness.Today, with 700,000 customers and 300 designers, the site has proved its usefulness. “Some weeks, says Wannier, we get 100 percent customer satisfaction. And designers are delighted: They get a new distribution channel, absolute customer loyalty and returns that are 10 percent lower than on other sites.While MyShape continues to sign up customers and designers, the company is not yet profitable. We get a percentage of the price of the clothes, says Wannier. In this economy, women are spending less. In order to make money, then, we have to attract more customers who will come back again and again.，zAsked what the future holds for MyShape, she says, “Next year, we' 11 start providing the technology to other online stores, so my dream is that our way of shopping becomes the way everyone does it. ( Readers? Digest )5. Which of the following statements is Not true?A. Wannier sold one of her businesses to start Myshape.B. Wannier succeeded in getting investment for My shapeC.It still remains to be seen whether the website is useful or not.D. Wannier has great confidence in making money from Myshape6.

Wannier is a businesswoman with experience, plans, dedication and visionD.People are concerned about their shapes and clothes they wear7. What does “prospects” mean in the sentence “ Most of those prospects were men, and they simply didn' t get the concept " in Paragraph 2?A. chances of success in a jobB.possibilities that sth. will happenC. ideas of what will happen in the futureD. possible or likely customers5 .C细节推理题。从全篇内容以及标题来看，C项有误。从第二段第二行“And while she had money from”可以得出A项正确。从第二段倒数第三行"They were impressed with WannierJ s vision and hopped on board, putting up $32 million and” 得知 B 项正确。 从最后一段 “she says, ' Next year, we' 11 start providing the technology to other online stores, so my dream is that'” 可知 D 项正确。6 .C从全文得知A, B, C, D都是导致MyShape成功的可能因素，但根据整篇文章” the most important factor”最关键的因素应是C项。7 .D 词义猜测题。根据整句话 “Most of those prospects were men, and they”从 man 一 词可看出prospects应指人，A, B, C,选项的中心词均不是指人。" prospect,在此处的 意思为“可能成为顾客的人”阅读理解DA new generation addiction is quickly spreading all over the world.
