She w

26、ould go to practice three times a week and try really hard, and I wouldnt make her compete in the swim meets because on the day of a meet, she would be nervous all day. Her nerves rooted from the possibility that she would do something horribly wrong and let everyone down. Recently, they had a T-shi

27、rt relay, which works like this: one person from each relay team puts on a T-shirt and a pair of socks, swims 50 meters, and gets out of the pool. She takes off the clothes and puts them on the next person, who then swims 50 meters. This continues until everyone on the team has completed a lap.By th

28、e last leg, Elizabeths team had built up a moderate lead. Then it was Elizabeths turn to swim. She seemed to swim faster in the T-shirt and socks than when she wasnt wearing them. Approaching the halfway mark, she was still in the lead. Then one of Elizabeths socks fell off and was floating in the p

29、ool. “She has to get that sock on before the end of the race,” a swimming official told her team, “or you will be disqualified.”Everybody on her team started screaming, “Elizabeth! Elizabeth! Stop! Get the sock!” But she couldnt hear them. As she started her last 25 meters, a girl in Lane 2 was gain

30、ing on Elizabeth. It was time for desperate measures. A girl on my daughters team jumped in the pool, grabbed the sock, and swam after Elizabeth. She grabbed Elizabeths foot. “You have to put the sock on,” the girl screamed. Elizabeth continued swimming while her teammate put on the sock.By now, the

31、 girl in Lane 2 was about to pass Elizabeth. With the sock finally on, Elizabeth swam her heart out for the last 15 meters. It was close, but Elizabeth beat the other girl to the wall for the victory.On the ride home, she relived her moment of glory again and again. She told me that if the T-shirt r

32、elay was an Olympic event, her team would win the gold medal.

35、s “Talk to the Hand” and cost 1,000 a pair. They fixed a speaker unit into the thumb and a microphone into the little finger that can be connected to any mobile handset using Bluetooth.Artist Sean Miles designed the new gloves that double as a phone in part of his project that shows the possibilitie

36、s of gadget recycling. He uses outdated gloves and combines them with parts from mobile handsets recycled through O2, which commissioned（承擔(dān)）the project. Mobile phone users will be able to keep their hands warm while they chat without taking their phones out of their pockets or handbags.Mr Miles desi

37、gned two pairs of the new glovesone in pink and the other in brown and yellow. They will appear in an exhibition this July and visitors will be able to win the gloves. If demand is high, they will then be produced on a larger scale. O2 Recycle, which backed the project, estimates that there are alre

38、ady 70 million unused mobile handsets in the UK. The service pays up to 260 to those who recycle gadgets including phones, handheld consoles, MP3 players and digital cameras.Designer Sean Miles hopes his work will get people thinking about recycling. The 41-year-old said, “I hope that my Talk to the

39、 Hand project will get people to think again about the waste created by not recycling gadgets. If a few more people recycle their gadgets rather than send them to trash, I think this project will have fulfilled its aim.”Bill Eyres, head of O2 Recycle, urges people to recycle their phone responsibly.

40、 He said, “Theres a pressing need for all of us to look at outdated handsets, and all the gadgets that we move on from or upgrade each year. Whether they are consoles or cameras, we should think of them as a resource that we need to recycle responsibly rather than throw them away.” 【小題1】The underlin

43、can be used for recycling.D. New gloves that can be used for making phone calls. CFor decades, families settled on the sofa to share the latest news and TV series, until additional bedroom TV, computer games and the Internet almost put an end to family rows over who held the remote control. Now, how

44、ever, the traditional living room scene is making a comeback. A study by the communications watchdog Ofcom has found families are once again gathering around the main television set, but they are bringing their pads and smartphones with them. “The 1950s living room is making a comeback as a family e

45、ntertainment centre,” said Jane Rumble, head of media research at Ofcom. “We are watching on much better, bigger, and more delicate television sets, but we are coming into the living room holding our connected devices.” While the family are coming together once more, comparisons with the past end th

46、ere. With a range of smaller screens on hand, not everyone sitting on the sofa shares the same viewing experience. The coronation (加冕禮) may have drawn the undivided attention of 20 million viewers in 1953, but those watching the Queens Jubilee celebrations 50 years later were as likely to be comment

47、ing online about BBCs broadcast as watching it. “Just a few years ago, we would be talking about last nights TV at work or at school,” said a viewer, “Now, were having those conversations live while watching TV, using social media, text and instant messaging.” It is a behaviour of media meshing（聯(lián)網(wǎng)）,

48、 whose influence was underlined during this years Wimbledon mens tennis final. As Andy Murray pushed towards his victory, 1.1 million people worldwide sent an average of over two microblogs about the match. People use the Internet to enhance their television experience, for example, by reading a new

49、spaper live blog about a football match while watching the action on the main screen. For a huge number of younger viewers, the portable screen offers a chance to do something unrelated, such as online shopping, listening to music or watching another television programme.Some 70% of 16-to-24-year-ol

50、ds claim to be absorbed in what Ofcom calls “media stacking” at least once a week. For TV viewers, the Internet scanning is the most popular activity, but they are also calling friends on the phone or sending emails and texts. Surprisingly, 12% claim to have listened to the radio with the television

51、 on, and 6% say they have watched another video in the meanwhile. 【小題1】According to the study by Ofcom, family members nowadays _.A. care more about who holds the remote control B. share the same programmes in the living roomC. watch better and more delicate television programmesD. enjoy TV together

52、 with various smaller screens on hand【小題2】 This years Wimbledon mens tennis final is mentioned to indicate _.A. so many people worldwide are watching TVB. people like watching live matches on TVC. the great influence of media meshingD. the average amount of microblogs【小題3】Which shows the phenomenon

54、ges connected devices bring to TV watchingB. report the comeback of the traditional living room sceneC. show the influence of connected devices on people D. present the different roles TV plays in peoples lifeD In her new book, “The Smartest Kids in the World,” Amanda Ripley, an investigative journa

55、list, tells the story of Tom, a high-school student from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, who decides to spend his senior year in Wroclaw, Poland. Poland is a surprising educational success story: in the past decade, the country raised students test scores from significantly below average to well above it.

56、 Polish kids have now outscored American kids in math and science, even though Poland spends, on average, less than half as much per student as the United States does. One of the most striking differences between the high school Tom attended in Gettysburg and the one he ends up at in Wroclaw is that

57、 the latter has no football team, or, for that matter, teams of any kind. That American high schools lavish more time and money on sports than on math is an old complaint. This is not a matter of how any given student who plays sports does in school, but of the culture and its priorities. This Decem

58、ber, when the latest Program for International Student Assessment(PISA) results are announced, its safe to predict that American high-school students will once again display their limited skills in math and reading, outscored not just by students in Poland but also by students in places like South K

59、orea, Belgium, the Netherlands, Finland, Singapore, and Japan. Meanwhile, they will have played some very exciting football games, which will have been breathlessly written up in their hometown papers. Why does this situation continue? Well, for one thing, kids like it. And for another, according to

60、 Ripley, parents seem to like the arrangement, too. She describes a tour she took of a school in Washington D.C., which costs thirty thousand dollars a year. The tour leadera mother with three children in the schoolwas asked about the schools flaws. When she said that the math program was weak, none
