26、opping off-line provides better service. DYoung people like to do gift-shopping online.C A few days ago I asked my sons governess（女家庭教师）Julia to come into my study. “Be seated, Julia, ”I said, “Lets settle our accounts. I guess you most likely need some money, but maybe youre too polite to mention i

27、t. Now then, we agreed on thirty dollars a month.”“Forty.”“No, thirty. I made a note of it. I always pay our governess thirty. Well, um, youve been here two months, so.”“Two months and five days.”“Exactly two months. I made a special note of it. That means you have sixty dollars coming to you. Take

28、off nine Sundays. you know you didnt work with Tom on Sundays, you only took walks. And three holidays. ”Julia was biting her finger nail nervously, her face red, but- not a word.“Three holidays, therefore take off twelve dollars. Four days Tom was sick and there were no lessons, as you were occupie

29、d only with Dick. Three days you had a toothache and my wife gave you permission not to work after lunch. Twelve and seven - nineteen. Take nineteen off . that leaves. hmm. forty one dollars. Correct？” Julias left eye reddened with tears welling up. Her chin trembled; she coughed nervously and blew

30、her nose, but - still not a word.“Around New Years Day you broke a teacup and a saucer; take off two dollars. The cup cost more, it was a treasure of the family, but- forget it. When didnt I take a loss! Then, due to your neglect （疏忽）, Tom climbed a tree and tore his jacket; take away ten. Also due

31、to your carelessness the maid stole Dicks shoes. You ought to watch everything! You get paid for it. So, that means five more dollars off. The tenth of January I gave ten dollars.”“You didnt. ”sobbed Julia.“But I made a note of it.”“Well. if you say so.”“Take twenty seven from forty one -that leaves

32、 fourteen.” Both her eyes were filled with tears. Beads of sweat stood on the thin pretty little nose. Poor girl!“Only once was I given any money,” she whispered, her voice trembling, “and that was by your wife. Three dollars, nothing more.”“Really? You see now, and I didnt know that! Take three fro

33、m fourteen. leaves eleven. Heres your money, my dear. Three, three, three, one and one. Here it is !” I handed her eleven dollars. She took them and pocketed them.“Merci （法语: 谢谢）,”she whispered.I jumped to my feet and started pacing the room. I was overcome with anger. “For what, this merci?” I aske

34、d.“For the money. ”“But you know Ive cheated you - robbed you! I have actually stolen from you ! Why thismerci？”“In my other places they didnt give me anything at all.”“They didnt give you anything? No wonder! I played a little joke on you, a cruel lesson, just to teach you. I m going to give you al

35、l the eighty dollars! Here they are in the envelope all ready for you. Is it really possible to be so spineless （懦弱）?Why didnt you protest? Why were you silent? Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws（爪）-to be such a fool?”Embarrassed, she smiled. And I could read her expression,

36、“It is possible.”I asked her pardon for the cruel lesson and, to her great surprise, gave her the eighty dollars. She murmured her little “merci” several times and went out.

Teenagers in Britain and the US have a weapon against the older generation，especially parents and teachers. Its a ring tone that many adults cannot hear. According

41、 to a recent report from the New York Times，in some Manhattan schools，students have begun using the technology. Cellphone use is usually forbidden in class. But using the high-pitched （频率） ring tone，students can successfully exchange phone messages without being found by their teachers. The technolo

42、gy relies on the fact that most adults gradually lose the ability to hear high-pitched sounds, It was developed in Britain but has recently spread to America by the Internet. However，the technology was originally aimed at annoying teenagers，not the other way around. Called the Mosquito，it was market

43、ed last year by a Welsh security company. It is an ear-splitting 17-kilohertz buzzer （蜂鸣器） designed to help shopkeepers get rid of young people hanging around in front of their stores. Humans can hear sounds taking place in a frequency range between 200 and 20,000 hertz，as the research shows. But ou

DHe cannot hear sounds with a frequency of 17-kilohertz.66It can be concluded from the passage that _. Aolder people hear no better than teenagers B

47、older people had better not use cellphones Cteenagers hear better than old people Dteenagers had better not use cellphones EIn 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist. So he invented a very simple cameras. He put it in a window of his house and t

48、ook a picture of his yard. That was the first photograph.The next important date in the history of photography was 1837. That year, Daguerre, another French, took a picture of his studio. He used a new kind of camera and a different process. In his pictures, you could see everything very clearly, ev

51、w Brady was a well - known American photographer. He took many pictures of famous people. The pictures were unusual because they were very life - like and full of personality.Brady was also the first person to take pictures of war. His 1862 Civil War pictures showed dead soldiers and ruined cities.

52、They made the war seem more real and more terrible.In the 1880s, new inventions began to change photography-Photographers could buy films ready-made in rolls（卷）. So they did not have to make the film themselves. Also, they did not have to process the film immediately. They could bring it back to the

53、ir studios and develop it later meaning that they did not have to carry lots of equipment. And finally, the invention of the small handheld camera made photography less expensive.With the small camera, anyone could be a photographer. People began to use cameras just for fun. They took pictures of their families, friends and favorite places. They called these pictures“ snapshot”.Photographs became very popular in newspapers in the 1890s. Soon magazines and books also used documentary photographs. These pict
