Apple has entered the textbook market. The tech giant（科技巨头） introduced iBooks textbooks a couple of weeks ago when it announced its iBooks 2 platform. They are digital books（电子书）in many subjects taking in science, maths, history and geography.
Apple developed its iPad-based textbooks in conjunction with（连接）major textbook publishers. The company offers a collection of textbooks for high school students.
Apple says it offers a “new textbook experience” and suggests its iBooks textbooks are “the next chapter in learning”. It sounds like good news for pupils and students. Think of it. No more carrying heavy backpacks full of textbooks. Every textbook you require can be stored on your iPad. No more having to buy expensive textbooks which you will only use for a year or two and then sell or give away.
Of course there’s a catch. You need to own an iPad and as you know, it is not cheap. You also need to buy digital textbooks, mostly priced each at $14.99 (94.74 yuan) or less. Textbook publishing was worth $ 8.7 billion in the US alone last year. And the rest, as they say, is history. Will Apple revolutionize（彻底改革）learning? Will digital books take over completely in education? That remains to be seen.
21. What is the best title of the text?
A. Say Good-bye to Tradition B. A Different Way of Learning
C. Experience Digital Textbooks D. Apple Enters New Market
22. iBooks textbooks will do good to pupils and students because ________.
A. they are free to get B. they are ipad-based
C. they are easy to carry D. they are favorite gifts
23. The underlined words “a catch” in Paragraph 4 are closest in meaning to “________.”
A. an advantage B. a problem C. a surprise D. an order
24. What can we know from that last paragraph?
A. Digital books have disadvantages and advantages.
B. Traditional textbooks will be replaced sooner or later.
C. Apple has earned a lot from the textbook market.
D. iPad-based textbooks have changed our learning.

It was already dark when an old man came to a small town. He found an inn and wanted to stay there for the night. After he had gone to his room, the owner said to his wife, “Look at his bag, dear. I’m sure there are lots of valuable things in it. I want to steal it when he is asleep.”
“No, no,” said the woman. “He must look for his bag tomorrow morning. Then he’ll take you before the judge.” They thought and at last the woman had an idea. “We have forgetful grass,” said the woman, “Why not put some into his food? If he has the food, he will forget to take his bag away.” “How clever you are!” said the owner, “Don’t forget it when you prepare supper for him.”
The old man had the food with the forgetful grass and went to bed. The next morning, when the owner got up, he found the door was open and the old man had left with his bag. He woke his wife up and said angrily, “What a fool! Your forgetful grass isn’t useful at all.”
“No, no,” said the woman. “I don’t think so. He must forget something.”
“Oh, I’ve remembered!” The owner cried out suddenly, “He forgot…”

For more than twenty years scientists have been searching for signs of life on other planets. Most of these searches have been done over the radio. The hope is that someone in outer space may be trying to get in touch with us. Scientists also have sent radio and television messages on spaceships traveling through space, on the chance that someone may be receptive to such messages.
Scientists are using powerful radio telescopes to listen to signals from about 1, 000 stars, all within 100 light years of earth. In addition, they will scan（扫视）the entire sky to “listen” for radio messages from more distant stars. Using a computer, they will be able to monitor more than eight channels at one time. Scientists are looking for any signal they stands out from the background noise.
Of the 200 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy（银河星系）, scientists find that five percent are like our sun. Perhaps half of them have a planet like earth. Such a planet would be a reasonable distance from the star for temperatures to be right for the evolution（进化）of life. Based on the inhabitable（that can be lived in）planets in our galaxy, most scientists agree that chances are likely that one or more of these planets support some life.
However, many scientists wonder whether intelligent（有智力的）life exists on other planets. Some believe that twenty years of searching without any intelligible messages shows that no one is out there. They say that the evolution of intelligence comparable to ours is unlikely.
Other scientists believe that our search hasn’t been long enough to rule out the possibility that intelligent life exists in our galaxy. Although our sun family is only about five billion years old, our galaxy is about 20 billion years old. In that time, some scientists think it is likely that civilization（文明）much more advanced than ours have developed. Perhaps these civilizations send us no signals; perhaps we have not recognized the signals they have sent us. If we hope to find intelligent life, these scientists believe that we have to keep looking.
32．According to the passage, how many planets in our galaxy might be inhabitable?
A．15 billion． B．10 billion. C．5 billion. D．200 billion
33．The first paragraph in this passage is mainly about ________ .
A．why scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets
B．how scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets
C．where scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets
D．when scientists are looking for signs of life on other planets
34．The underlined word “monitor” in the passage means“ ________ ”.
A．find B．follow C．form D． check
35．Which of these statements is true based on the information in the passage?
A．Scientists are trying different ways to find signs of life on other planets.[来源:Z*xx*k.Com]
B．Most scientists believe that there is intelligent life on other planets.
C．The earth is one of the oldest planets in our galaxy.
D．Scientists don’t believe that there might be life on other planets.

Top 5 Ways to Build a Wonderful Life
Live below your means(收入).
We all want to buy that new piece of technology, or take out a loan(贷款) for the expensive car we can’t afford. It might feel great at the time but spending too much hurts a lot later on.
Enjoy life’s simple pleasures and save as much as you can. 36 Careful spending will bring you greater enjoyment in the long run.
Put your money to work.
37 Good investments(投资) can be the difference between retiring in your 40’s or in your 60’s. If a person in their20’s invests 20% of their income, the interest(利息) they earn will equal their current salary when they reach their early40’s. They could retire without a drop in income!
Educate yourself.
To be happy we need continuous growth. 38 This doesn’t mean you need to get a doctor’s degree or spend 2 hours every day. Self education can be anything that takes you out of your comfort zone. The important part is keeping an open mind and searching for fresh ideas and perspectives.
39
Suppose you had everything you wanted. Would you be happy without anyone to share it with? The personal relationships with friends and family members are the greatest source of happiness in our lives. Don’t forget about them. Without the people you care about you’ll probably be miserable, no matter how successful you are.
Work towards a dream.
Even if your life isn’t perfect, you can always build towards a goal. If you aren’t building towards something, you’ll probably stagnating(停滞). 40
We can’t control everything
