请根据以下内容回答下列各题 Insurance (保险)is the sharing of risks. Nearly everyone isexposed to risk of some sort. The house owner, for example, knows that hisproperty can be damaged by fire; the ship-owner knows that his vessel may belost at sea; the breadwinner knows that he may die at any early age and leavehis family poorer. On the other hand, not every house is damaged by fire norevery vessel lost at sea. If these persons, each put a small sum into a pool,there will be enough to meet the needs of the few who do suffer loss. In otherwords, the losses of the few are met from the contributions of the many. Thisis the basis of insurance. Those who pay the contribution are known as insuredand those who administer(管理)the pool of contributionsas insurers. The legal basis of all insurance is thepolicy. This is a printed form. of contract on stout paper of the best quality.It states that in return for the regular payment by the insured of a named sumof money, called the pre- mium(保险费), which is usually paid every year, the insurer will pay a sum ofmoney or compensation for loss, if the risk or event insured against actuallyhappens. The premium for an insurance naturally depends upon how likely therisk is to happen, as suggested by past experience, ff companies fix theirpremiums too high, there will be more to make the premium too low, they willlose money and may even have to drop out of busi- ness. So the ordinary forcesof supply and demand keep premiums at a level satisfactory to both the insurerand the insured. According to the writer, insurance is possible because__________

A.only a small proportion of the insured sufferloss

B.only insured people suffer loss

C.nearly everyone suffers loss

D.everyone at some time suffers loss

it' s not as difficult as you think," saysKaren Jonaitis, a woman, last year, at 47, earned a bachelor' s degree inbusiness administration at a college. "I realized that I would not move upin my career without a degree. " A generation ago, Jonaitis would have beena rarity(稀罕)incollege. Today about 6 million people aged25 or older are studying in Americaninstitutions of higher learning. Whether they are returning to improve jobskills or for the love of learning, adults no longer see age as a deterrent(障碍).Most people jump at the oppor- tunity to do something new. Some ofthem make changes they' d been thinking about all their lives. Others re- turnto school out of economic necessity. New developments in neuroscience(神经科学)and psychology areconfiring that there are few age limits on how much the brain can absorb and for how long--if you stay active.Continuing to learn keeps us mentally in shapeand able to learn more. On mental tests, experts discovered, half to two-thirdsof the people in their 70s were as intellectually quick as people in their 30s.Those who fell below average tended to be people who had not made a lifelonghabit of reading. They also were less physically active. Many adult students say learning is easierfor them today. They bring different skills to the classroom, and they' reless upset if something goes wrong. They have a real thirst, a real desire tolearn. A life-long habit of reading and physicalactvifies can keep_________________in good condition.

t, both physically and morally. Being a good youth, one should have those factors : the basic one is health. A healthy body is a kind of priceless treasure. One can do nothing without it. Secondly, we should pay essential attention to our moral character. We should be always willing to help those in trouble without any complaints. Moreover, we should care more about the people around us. Thirdly, cooperation and communication also play an important role in being a good youth. No one can live alone without any friends. And nobody can work out every problem without help of partners.So the youth should and must learn how to live and work well with others, including those people you don' t like to cooperate or communicate with. The last but not the least, patriotism, meaning a love of one' s country, is the one we should never forget. People always misunderstand the word "patriots" by thinking it only refers to those fighters who fight for their country. As a matter of fact, a patriot will do the things his country asks him to do. So being a youth is one thing, being a good one really needs to take every effort to make yourself to be. The passage really wants to tell us that__________

A. what the meaning of "patriots" is

B. the qualities a good youth should have

C. a youth should be doing good

D. one should help others

sage. Living in a time when an ever-increasing number of news providers push a constant stream of headlines at us every day, people cannot say they do not feel overwhelmed. But what of its the ways we choose to read the news that make us feel overwhelmed？ An interesting new study conducted by Avery Holton and Iris Chyi from the University of Texas looks at the factors that contribute to the concept of information overload. They surveyed more than 750 adults on their digital consumption habits and perceptions of information overload. What the findings suggest, Holton said, is that the news platforms a person is using can play a bigger role in making him feel overwhelmed than the sheer number of news sources being consumed. So even if you read The Huffington Post and The New York Times in a day, you may not feel as drowned with news ff you read on your phone instead of on your desktop. The more contained, or even constrained, aplat form. feels, the more it can contribute to people feeling less overwhelmed, Holton said. That may also explain why people have feelings of being overwhelmed by Facebook, which like reading on the web, can be a bottomless hole of stories, videos, and endless links. But it doesnt explain why people in the survey had different feelings towards Twitter, which can also be a stream of links. One possible explanation is whether you define yourself" as a news fan. The survey asked people to report. how much they enjoyed keeping up with the new——people who said they did had less of a perception of information overload. If youre the type of person who wants to follow news during the day, its likely you have an established routine and a set of sites you check regularly. You also may not need as much context around the news. All of that would make Twitter a good source for you. Conversely, if youre more passive about following the news, you might need to make more , of an effort to find the right sources or find background or contextual information, which could lead to feelings of being overloaded, Holton said. "Knowing what youre looking for can decrease overload or perceptions of overload. So can constant engagement," he said. The new study conducted by Avery Holton and Iris Chyi

A.examines how news providers take advantage of headlines

B.studies what can lead to the concept of information overload

C.discusses solutions for people who feel overwhelmed

D.reviews different attitudes to the digital consumption

阅读文章，回答下列各题： Some people seem to have a knack(诀窍) for learning languages.They can pick up new vocabulary, mas-ter rules of grammar, and learn to writein the new language much more quickly than other people. They do not seem to beany cleverer than others. What makes language learning so much easier for them？Perhaps if we take a close look at these successful language learners, we maydiscover a few techniques which make language learn-ing easier for them. Firstly, successful language learners areindependent learners. They do not depend on the book or the teach-er; they drather discover their own way to learn the language than wait for the teacherto explain everything.They try to find the sentence patterns, the rules and themeaning of the new word by themselves. They are good guessers. They look forclues and form. their own conclusions. When they guess wrong, they guess again.They try to learn from their mistakes. Besides,successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, successful learnersdo not wait for achance to use the language; they look for such a chance. Theyfind people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct themwhenever they make a mistake. They will try anything to communicate. They are notafraid to repeat; they are willing to make mistakes and try again. Whencommunication is difficult, they can accept information that is inexact orincomplete. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language thanto know every word s meaning. Finally,successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learnthe language because they have an interest in the language and the people whospeak it. It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicatewith these people and to learn from them. Successful language learners are independent, so successful learners __________ A．depend on the book or theteacher B．wait for the teacher toexplain everything C．learn from their mistakes D．discover their own way tolearn languages
