When the bell rings, every student takes out an iPad. The light from the screens makes their young faces pretty and lively. That’s what happens every day at my school in the US. We use

iPads in class.
I felt surprised and excited when I got an iPad the first day I arrived at the school. But it was not free. I spent about $100 to rent (租) it for three years.
Every iPad at my school has a special learning system ( 系统) called Focus. Teachers put their teaching materials like textbooks and PPTs on it. When we have classes, we enter the system and download the materials with our iPads.
It makes the classes interesting and efficient (高效的). For example, a few weeks ago, we learned about London in the UK. Our teacher prepared a video in which we saw many places of interest in London. We could not only watch the video, but also see the words at the same time.
Because of the video, I know more about the city.
We also do our homework with iPads. We can know how well we do our homework right after we submit (提交) our homework.
However, there are still some bad points about learning with iPads. Some of my classmates play games or surf the Internet in class.
I believe the key to use iPads well is to have good self-control, isn’t it?
54. The underlined word “Focus” is .
A. the name of the iPad at school B. PPTs and videos
C. teachers’ teaching materials D. a special learning system
55. When students are learning with iPads, they should not .
A. play games B. watch some videos
C. download the materials D. submit the homework
56. According to the example in Paragraph 4, we learn that .
A. students don’t like to use iPads in class
B. iPads are not useful when having classes
C. students use iPads to watch videos every class
D. iPads make the classes interesting and efficient
57. What does the writer think of using iPads in school?
A. Students should use iPads as often as possible.
B. To use iPads in school is very bad for students’ eyes.
C. Students should have good self-control when using iPads.
D. All students should use iPads to surf the Internet in class

Have you ever heard the old saying, “Never judge a book by its cover”?This is a good rule to follow when trying to judge the intelligence(智力）of others.
Some people have minds that stand out only in certain situations. A young man with an
unusual gift in creative writing may find himself speechless in the presence of a pretty girl. He fumbles for (摸索）words and talks in a halting (踌躇的）manner. But don’t make the mistake of thinking him stupid. With a pen and paper, he can express himself eloquently (雄辩地,有说服力 地).
Other people may fool you into overestimating (过高估计)their intelligence by putting up a good front(举止). A student who listens attentively and takes notes is bound to make a favorable impression on his teachers. But when it comes to exams, he may score near the bottom of the class.
It all boils down to this—you can’t judge someone by appearances. The only way to determine a person’s intelligence is to get to know him. Then you can observe(观察） how he reacts to different situations. The more situations you observe, the more accurate(正确的) your

judgement is likely to be.
58. The main idea of this passage is . A.don’t judge a book by its cover
B. don’t judge a person’s intelligence by appearances
C. don’t make the mistakes of thinking the young man stupid D.people may fool you by putting up a good front
59. The young man mentioned in the passage .
A. was stupid B. was a good student
C.was a talented writer D. was successful with girls
60. According to the passage, true knowledge of a person’s intelligence comes from . A.the testimony of his teachers B. the grades he gets in school
C.how he behaves in different situations D.his outward appearance
61. The passage suggests that in judging a person’s intelligence we should . A.use caution (小心） B. be creative
C. rely on intuition (直觉） D. give him an IQ test
D. A huge underground ocean in Taklamakan Desert

“Go for it!” The expression “Go for it!” is a way of encouraging someone to try something. “Go for it!” means you should not worry about failure or be too careful. You should take a
chance and be brave. “Go for it!” gets its name from football. But it is not the football played in most countries such as England, France or Japan, but the kind of football played in the United States and Canada. One of the most exciting times in football comes when a team has failed,
after three tries, to move the ball forward ten yards. The team must make a very important decision. The conservative (保守的) choice is to kick the ball and accept temporary defeat (暂时 的失败) in order to get a good position for your team the next time it gets the ball. The more
exciting choice, however, is to try a fourth and final time to get the remaining yards needed.
People now are certain to shout their advice. Some will shout, “Kick the ball!” But others will encourage the team to take a chance. “Go for it!” they will shout loudly.
In the 1980s, people began using this expression in many kinds of situations to encourage someone to act bravely. There is no guarantee ( 保 障 ) that the action you “Go for it!” will succeed. But that is the chance you take when you decide to go for it. You put your fears behind.
You choose courage over safety. You hold your breath and go for it.
62. What does “Go for it!” mean?
A. You should go straight on.
B. You should take a chance and be brave.
C. You should go to school and ask teachers for help.
D. You should be very careful.
63. According to the passage, when we decide to go for it, we only consider .
A. safety B. action C. result D. situation
64. In which of the following situations should we use the expression “Go for it!” now?
A. We decide to avoid trouble or danger for the future.
B. We try to improve our English for better education.
C. We need to make a quick decision at the last moment
D. We have to make a choice between success and failure.
65. The writer makes his idea clear by .

A. giving explanations (解释) B. making comparisons (比较)
C. telling stories D. using famous people’s words
