Some etiquette（礼仪）in modern life
Do you often use a cellphone? Do you take the subway to school every day? These items make our modern
life easier. But do you know how we should behave properly while using them? The following suggestions might
be helpful.
For cellphone users
◆Keep your voice down when you make a phone call in public.
Shouting on the phone may make others feel uncomfortable. And you’d better not use it during an appointment（约会）.
◆Stop sending messages or playing games with your cellphone at a dinner or a party. It’s a good time to communicate（交流）with your family and friends.
◆Don’t make or answer a call while driving. It is not only very dangerous
for both you and your passengers but also against the law.
For subway passengers
◆You are supposed to wait in line while buying tickets and getting on the subway.
◆You’re not allowed to eat, drink or smoke on the subway train. The smell and noise may trouble others. It’s our duty to keep the train clean and tidy. Besides, smoking is bad for health.
◆ You can’t take pets on the train. As we all know, animals may spread
diseases（传播疾病）and get the train dirty.
◆ You’d better not lie across the subway seats even if the train isn’t crowded. Offering your seat to someone who needs it is regarded as good manners.

第三节 回答问题阅读下面的材料，然后根据材料内容回答问题。（共5小题，计10分）
The World Wide Web（www.万维网）turned 25 years old on March 12th. It has become a very important part
in our daily lives. We can’t imagine living without the web, the short form of the World Wide Web.
In 1989, a British engineer named Tim Berners-Lee came up with the idea of the Web. It is a group of “pages” of information that are connected to each other around the world. That is the very beginning of the Web. Since then, the Web has greatly changed the way people live. With a click(点击)of a mouse we can read news,
buy things, make friends and learn anything we’re interested in.
Now, 25 years after its birth, how will the Web influence life in the future? Scientists believe there are both advantages and disadvantages.
A growing Web will help build “better relationships” between different cultures. Also in the future, everyday items could be connected to the Web. We could share plenty of information to make our daily lives more convenient(方便的). So one day in the future, your front door could send you a message. “Dear sir, everyone has
left the house, but I’m still open!”
But scientists warn（警告）us that if we share personal information on the Internet it could get into the wrong
hands.
“It’s not wise to spend a whole day in front of the screen. People need to get close to nature and enjoy the sun. Never be controlled by the Internet.” said Berners-Lee.
61. How old is the World Wide Web?
62. Who came up with the idea of the Web?
63. What can we do by clicking a mouse according to the passage?
64. Will the Web influence life in the future?
65. What could happen if we share personal information on the Internet?

Sometimes you feel busy and worried. 66.你可能有许多事情要做，时间却不够。You may wonder, “ Where does time go?” Here are some ideas to help you make use of it and find more free time to enjoy your life.
Plan ahead of time. 67. It’s necessary for you to make a plan at the beginning of a week or a day. Think of what you really need and don’t need to do. Spare（匀出）some time to have a short rest and look back on what you’ve done. You may have a sense of success.
Say no to yourself. If you are not excited about attending（出席）a social activity, then don’t go. 68.呆在家里休息。If you plan to go to a supermarket but it is raining heavily, why not stay inside? It’s fine to change your mind and do your shopping another day.
Change your pace（节奏). If you usually go shopping on Saturday, choose a weekday night to go instead. 69.The stores are less crowded on Wednesday evening than Saturday afternoon. You can feel better if you regard your way home as taking a relaxing walk after supper.
