2．I was out for an evening with a friends getting the relief from pressure and catching up on our lives.We got around to the subject of books.
"When do you read？" my friend asked me.My mind took off on a fast journey through my bookshelves and piles of books.I know some people make artsy towers and pyramids out of books，but I'm not that kind of woman.Mine are just…stacks（摞）.Stacks on end tables，stacks on the floor.
When do I read？I read when I'm happy.I read when I'm bored.I read when I'm defeated I read when I'm filled with anxiety.My self-medication for the thoughts is not exercise or alcohol，but Jane Austen.I absolutely must slow down the pace of my thoughts when living through a walk to the town Meryton in Pride and Prejudice.I read to visit places I'll never see in real life.Thank you，Vikram Seth，for making me completely involved in 1950s India.Thank you，Khaled Hosseini，for giving me a chance to see 1970s Afghanistan.I read when I want to travel back in time.If I want to hang out in the early 1900s high society of New York City，I'll spend some time with Edith Wharton.I read when I'm recalling the good old days.Many of my favorite books of childhood are still my favorite books.I read when I get so addicted to an author that I want to read everything she has ever written，including her Christmas cards and grocery lists.
Of course，I didn't say any of these things to my friend I stared at her with a blanks foolish look.
"When do I read？" I repeated.
"Yes.When do you find time？" she asked.
"When？Evenings.Bedtime.Dinnertime，if I'm eating alone.Sunday afternoons.Moments stolen here and there.And now if you'll excuse me，I have a date with Mr.Hemingway，" I said.

3．Four tobacco plant seeds found in an ancient Utah fireplace suggest early Americans might have been using the plant 12，300 years ago.The finding makes the first known use of tobacco some 9，000 years earlier than previously thought Researchers believe hunter-gatherers in the Great Salt Lake Desert may have smoked wads of the plant.Until now，the earliest evidence of tobacco use was a 3，300-year-old smoking pipe discovered in Alabama.
Archaeologists discovered the millimetre-wide seeds at the Wishbone site，an ancient camp in the desert in what is now northern Utah.There，they found the rest of an ancient hearth（壁爐地面）that was surrounded by bone and stone artefacts（手工藝品）.
Their findings suggest the native American hunter-gatherers may have consumed the tobacco while cooking or toolmaking，the scientists say in a paper published in the journal Nature Human Behaviour.
The tobacco plant is native to the Americas and contains the psychoactive addictive sub-stance nicotine（尼古?。?Tobacco was widely cultivated and spread around the world following the arrival of Europeans in the Americas at the end of the 15th century. "The tobacco seeds were the big surprise.They are incredibly small and rare to be preserved，" said Daron Duke，a researcher of the Far Western Anthropological Research Group. "Today，the Great Salt Lake Desert is a large dry lake.But 12，300 years ago，the camp would have been on a vast marshland.We know very little about their culture.The thing that interests me most about this find is the social window it gives to a simple activity in an undocumented past.My imagination runs wild."
（1）What does the finding suggest in paragraph 1？
A．Americans prefer using smoking pipes.
B．Tobacco plants can easily be found around America.
C．Americans have a longer history of tobacco use than we thought.
D．Tobacco plants were introduced into America 9，000 years ago.

A．Some animal meat.
B．A rich farming land.
C．A modern hunting tool.
D．Small tobacco seeds.
（3）What can we learn from paragraph 4？
A．Tobacco was first planted in America by Europeans.
B．Europeans contributed to the spread of tobacco.
C．Americans started learning to smoke in the 1500s.
D．People cared about the effects of smoking.
（4）What did Daron Duke think of the discovery of tobacco seeds？

I could feel the excitement rising in me as I held the beautifully wrapped present in my hands.I was unable to contain my curiosity any longer.I opened jye.ai.It was a brand new laptop（筆記本電腦）.I had scored straight.As for my O level examination and this was my reward.I had always envied my friends who were exchanging news about chat rooms，instant messaging and e-mailing，all of which I knew nothing about.Now I was going to find out.
It started out simply enough.I was searching for some information online when I came across a social networking site.Soon I became addicted to chatting with my new-found electronic friend I began to spend more and more time on YouTube and became enslaved by Face-book and Twitter.I had never imagined that the day would come when I would be stuck by the glowing screen before me.Whenever I didn't surf these social networking sites，I would be going through conversation about boring things or fashion websites.
As time passed，I realized that I was addicted to the Internet During weekends，when I had more time on my hands，I could easily spend a few hours on my laptop.It came to a point where I chose to lock myself in my room，refusing to come out and take part in family discussions.I preferred to stay connected to the people I befriended on the Internet although I had never met them.Soon I was spending the early hours of the morning surfing the Internet.Sleep was replaced by naps（打盹）and my grades at school also began worse.
It was about this time that my parents started voicing their disapproval.It became obvious to them that I was spending too much time on the Internets.I was asked to decrease my usage of the laptop.Yet，however hard I tried，I was unable to pull myself away，unable to end my chat sessions，and unable to concentrate on my lessons.I was desperate for just another click，just another look at my e-mail or message board.
注意：
1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
2.請按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
Then one day，my father took away my laptop.
I promised my parents that I would turn over a new leaf（改過自新）.組卷：0引用：1難度：0.6
