professor entered the classroom and announced a surprise test．Hearing that，his students were all seated and waited quietly for the test to begin．The professor handed out the test papers with text facing down at the desk．Once he was done，he asked them to turn the test pages and begin．‎ The students were confused to see that there was not a question but just a black dot in the center of the page．The professor noticed the students' facial expressions and told them，"I want you to write about what you see there．"‎ The students were still in puzzle but got started with the test．At the end of the class，the ‎ professor took all answer sheets and started reading each answer from each sheet in front of all students．All of them described about the black dot and tried to explain its position．After the professor finished reading，the whole class fell into silence．‎ ‎"Now，"the professor began to explain，"don't worry．I am not going to give you grades for this．I just want you to think about something．Here everyone focused on the black dot and wrote about it，but no one wrote about the white paper．The same is with our lives．The white paper represents our whole life and the black spot represents problems in our life．Our life is a gift given to us by God，with love and care．We always have reasons to celebrate﹣our friends around us，the job that provides us our livelihood and the miracles we see everyday．Still we just focus on day to day problems like health issues，lack of money，problems in relationships etc．，but we never see that these problems are very small compared to everything we have in our lives．"‎ ‎25．Why did the professor give the surprise test？　 　‎ A．To grade his students． B．To puzzle his students．‎ C．To inspire his students to think． D．To develop his

Walter Choo，40，of Fort Greene．‎ The smartphone﹣like glasses will likely come out this year and cost between 250and600，the Times said，possibly including a variation of augmented（增强的） reality，a technology already ‎ available on smartphones and tablets （平板电脑） that shows information onto the screen about one's surroundings．So，for example，if you were walking down a street，indicators would pop up showing you the nearest coffee shop or directions could be plotted out and come into view right on the sidewalk in front of you．‎ ‎"As far as a mainstream consumer product，this just isn't something anybody needs，"said Sam Biddle，who writes for Gizmodo．com．"We're accustomed to having one thing in our pocket to do all these things，"he added，"and the average consumer isn't gonna be able to afford another device （装置） that's hundreds and hundreds of dollars．"‎ ‎9to5Google publisher Seth Weintraub，who has been reporting on the smartphone﹣like glasses since late last year，said he is confident that this type of wearable device will eventually be as common as smartphones．‎ ‎"It's just like smartphones 10 years ago，"Weintraub said．"A few people started getting emails on their phones，and people

a new technology．‎ D Most children now chat daily either online or through their mobile phones．They are connecting to a huge number of other children all over the world．Some are shy"in real life"but are confident to communicate with others online； others find support from people of their own age on relationship problems，or problems at home．‎ Sometimes the online world，just like the real world，can introduce problems，such as bullying or arguments．Going online is great fun，but there are also a few people who use the Internet for offensive （冒犯性的） or illegal （非法的） aims．Children must be made aware of both the good things and the danger．‎ To keep children safe your management must cover the family computer．Just as you decide which TV programs are suitable，you need to do the same for the websites and chat rooms your children visit．Remind your children that online friends are still strangers．Reminding them of the risks will keep them alert （警惕）．‎ Computer studies are part of school work now，so it's likely that your children may know more than you do．We get left behind when it comes to the latest gadgets （玩意儿） and interactive areas of websites，like chat rooms and message boards，which are especially strange．The language of chat is strange to many parents，too．Chatters love to use abbreviations such as：atb﹣all the best； bbfn﹣bye by for now； cul8er﹣see you later； gr8﹣great； idk﹣I don't know； imbl﹣it must be love； kit﹣keep in touch； paw﹣parents are watching； lol﹣laugh out loud； xlnt﹣excellent!‎ ‎32．The passage is written for　 　．‎ A．children B．parents C．teachers D．net bar owners
