When almost everyone has a mobile phone， why are more than half of Australian homes still paying for a landline（座机）？
These days you’d be hard pressed to find anyone in Australia over the age of 15 who doesn’t own a mobile phone. In fact plenty of younger kids have one in their pocket. Practically everyone can make and receive calls anywhere， anytime.
Still， 55 percent of Australians have a landline phone at home and only just over a quarter （29%） rely only on their smartphones according to a survey （调查）. Of those Australians who still have a landline， a third concede that it’s not really necessary and they’re keeping it as a security blanket — 19 percent say they never use it while a further 13 percent keep it in case of emergencies. I think my home falls into that category.
More than half of Australian homes are still choosing to stick with their home phone. Age is naturally a factor（因素）— only 58 percent of Generation Ys still use landlines now and then， compared to 84 percent of Baby Boomers who’ve perhaps had the same home number for 50 years. Age isn’t the only factor； I’d say it’s also to do with the makeup of your household.
Generation Xers with young families， like my wife and I， can still find it convenient to have a home phone rather than providing a mobile phone for every family member. That said， to be honest the only people who ever ring our home phone are our Baby Boomers parents， to the point where we play a game and guess who is calling before we pick up the phone（using Caller ID would take the fun out of it）.
How attached are you to your landline？ How long until they go the way of gas street lamps and morning milk deliveries？
24. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about mobile phones？
A. Their target users. B. Their wide popularity.
C. Their major functions. D. Their complex design.
25. What does the underlined word “concede” in paragraph 3 mean？
A. Admit. B. Argue.
C. Remember. D. Remark.
26. What can we say about Baby Boomers？
A. They like smartphone games. B. They enjoy guessing callers’ identity.
C. They keep using landline phones. D. They are attached to their family.
27. What can be inferred about the landline from the last paragraph？
A. It remains a family necessity.
B. It will fall out of use some day.
C. It may increase daily expenses.
D. It is as important as the gas light.

I love doing housework. I always assist my parents in doing the dish after meals. I also water the flowers in the yard and tidying up my own bedroom whatever necessary. In my opinion， students can benefit a lot doing some housework. Firstly， doing housework was helpful for us to be a responsible person. Also， it gives our parents more time to do what they are like and it improves the family relationship. What’s most， doing housework can be a form of mentally relaxation from study. That’s our view on housework. And hopes this can inspire more thinking on the topic！

YOUTH and me
This year marks the 10th Anniversary of the YOUTH, which is an English newspaper in my school. It is like an old friend who spent three years in high school with me.
When I began to school here, my English teacher suggested that reading newspapers would be an effective way to improve reading skill, and she recommended the YOUTH. Due to the great help, I prefer reading the YOUTH in every semester.
The Global View is my favourite column when reading the YOUTH. It contains articles introducing different cultures and technological news around the world. These articles are not only interesting, but also good for my vocabulary in different subjects.
I expect that the YOUTH can continue to provide more excellent articles for teenagers, and I’m sure that it will be the most popular newspaper in our school.
Dear Lucy,
I'd like to invite you to join us for a visit to the nearby nursing home next Saturday for the Double Ninth Festival. It is the day for the elderly in our culture. We'll go and make dumplings and cakes with the elderly people there. We'll also spend some fun time together singing, dancing and playing games, which we hope will make them happy. We should come back around 4 o'clock in tne afternoon. If you are able to come with us, please let us kow and we'll wait for you at the school gate at 9 in the morning.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

During an interview for one of my books， my interviewer said something I still think about often. Annoyed by the level of distraction（干扰）in his open office， he said， “That’s why I have a membership at the coworking space across the street — so I can focus”. His comment struck me as strange. After all， coworking spaces also typically use an open office layout（布局）. But I recently came across a study that shows why his approach works.
The researchers examined various levels of noise on participants as they completed tests of creative thinking. They were randomly divided into four groups and exposed to various noise levels in the background， from total silence to 50 decibels（分贝）， 70 decibels， and 85 decibels. The differences between most of the groups were statistically insignificant； however， the participants in the 70 decibels group — those exposed to a level of noise similar to background chatter in a coffee shop — significantly outperformed the other groups. Since the effects were small， this may suggest that our creative thinking does not differ that much in response to total silence and 85 decibels of background noise.
But since the results at 70 decibels were significant， the study also suggests that the right level of background noise — not too loud and not total silence — may actually improve one’s creative thinking ability. The right level of background noise may interrupt our normal patterns of thinking just enough to allow our imaginations to wander， without making it impossible to focus. This kind of “distracted focus” appears to be the best state for working on creative tasks.
So why do so many of us hate our open offices？ The problem may be that， in our offices， we can’t stop ourselves from getting drawn into others’ conversations while we’re trying to focus. Indeed， the researchers found that face-to-face interactions and conversations affect the creative process， and yet a coworking space or a coffee shop provides a certain level of noise while also providing freedom from interruptions.
32. Why does the interviewer prefer a coworking space？
A. It helps him concentrate. B. It blocks out background noise.
C. It has a pleasant atmosphere. D. It encourages face-to-face interactions.
33. Which level of background noise may promote creative thinking ability？
A. Total silence. B. 50 decibels C. 70 decibels. D. 8 5 decibels.
34. What makes an open office unwelcome to many people？
A. Personal privacy unprotected. B. Limited working space.
C. Restrictions on group discussion. D. Constant interruptions.
35. What can we infer about the author from the text？
A. He’s a news reporter.
B. He’s an office manager.
C. He’s a professional designer.
D. He’s a published writer.

如何写好高考英语作文
1.审题
拿到题目后，手中拿铅笔，手脑眼嘴并用，开始审题。看题目的要求是什么，要点是什么，特殊要求是什么。要议论文还是记叙文?对分几段写有无要求?等等。诸如此类的硬性要求信息，都用铅笔划下来，以免出错，也许你一开始会记得，可随着时间的流逝，你会不会因紧张而遗忘这些信息呢?还是小心为妙。边看边张嘴默读，这样就不会遗漏或忽略任何一个字了。
2.草稿
有的同学怕出错，全文都打草稿再誊写，我姑且认为不太可取，毕竟考场时间宝贵，即使我有四十分钟时间写作文也不敢贸然这么做，更何况考场时我们留给作文的时间往往一再被压缩。有的同学不打草稿，我认为更不太可取。一来容易出错，二来边写边想思维不连贯，即使思维连贯也无法审词酌句，展现自己好的一面，容易后悔。
