A

If you have a little child, who hates sitting in a car seat, then the FreedomRide is the answer to your problem.

Would you want to be stuck in an unchangeable position every time you’re in the car? No. You wouldn’t.

When an adult sits in a car for any length of time, we stretch, we change the position, we move our legs again and again. We do this without thinking. But kids in a traditional car seat can’t do this. They are stuck in one position, and they can’t move. We move because the circulation of blood needs to be recovered in our legs as we sit in the same position for any longer.

In a traditional car seat, the child can’t move to reduce the pain, so it puts them in anger.

The FreedomRide lets them have a little freedom, and still be safe. The 5-Point Harness(背带) gives them additional safety over a traditional child car seat.

I am the Webmaster for islandbreeze.com, and when JoeySafe asked us to redo their website, I was attracted by this system. That is because I have two small children, both girls, aged 3 and 4 and we obviously use car seats. I lived in Southern California, and every couple of months, my wife, the girls and I, go to see grandma who lives in Nevada. It’s a 5-hour drive, so the FreedomRide works well. Our trips are so much better now, especially since there is more room in the car without the car seats.

The FreedomRide really did make it easier to go on trips. The only thing you need when you use the JoeySafe instead of your old child car seat is a pillow. Besides, my kids want to take a pillow anyway! As a dad, I feel safe driving with the kids in the FreedomRide. I am a very safety-oriented person.

21. From the text we can infer the FreedomRide is a ____________.

A. car seat B. car for children

C. safety belt D. game on islandbreeze.com

22. The FreedomRide is likely to be designed for________.

A. a person hating sitting in the car for long

B. an adult often driving a traditional car

C. a child requiring some freedom in the car

D. a driver needing comfortable seats

23. The purpose of the last two paragraphs may be to ________.

A. support the topic of the child car safety

B. describe the advantage of the FreedomRide

C. introduce the detail of the author’s work and web.

D. describe what the author does with his child car seat

24. The next part following the last paragraph may mention________.

A. the way of ordering B. the way of communicating

C. the inventor of this product D. the advantage of the product

B

If you see a group of people dancing and singing on the street or in the railway station, you don't need to feel surprised. They are a flash mob(暴民). Who are they? Are they mobs? Don't be confused by their name. Actually, a flash mob is a group of people who gather suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a brief period of time, and then quickly disappear.

They are usually organized with the help of the Internet or other digital communications networks. The messages may be sent to friends, who send to more people. At a predetermined time, they gather and perform some activities such as exchanging books, coming together to look at the sky, waving their hands and yelling something at the top of their voice for 30 seconds. Then, they quickly disappear before the police can arrive. Using mobile phones, the flash mob can change its place if the first one has been cancelled for any reason.

Bill Wasik, senior editor of Harper's Magazine, organized the first flash mob in Manhattan in May 2003 and the first successful flash mob gathered on June 3, 2003. Wasik claimed that he created the flash mob as a social experiment designed to laugh at fashion seekers and stress the cultural atmosphere of wanting to be an insider or part of “the next big thing”．

Flash mob gatherings can sometimes shock people. Such an activity might seem amusing and magical, but it also might frighten people who are not aware of what is taking place. Undoubtedly, flash mob can serve as good political tools and have great potential, such as using flash mob to advertise a product.

The flash mob is now becoming more and more popular. People use it to do many things. For example, in 2009, Michael Jackson’s fans took part in a flash mob to remember him. Hundreds of his fans gathered singing and dancing Michael’s famous song “Beat It” together. Flash mobs give people from all walks of life an opportunity to come together to create a memory.

25.What is NOT the feature of the flash mob?

A．It can get together quickly. B．It can change its place freely.

C．It can do activities suddenly. D．It can injure people seriously.

26.How do flash mobs inform one another?

①By using the Internet. ②By writing letters. ③By yelling.

④By waving hands. ⑤By using mobile phones. ⑥By holding a meeting.

A．③④? ?B．①⑤ ?C．②⑥?? D．⑤⑥

27.Why did Bill Wasik create the flash mob?

A．To advertise some products. B．To help people make friends.

C．To laugh at fashion seekers. D．To create some memories.

28.What can we learn about the flash mob from the passage?

A．Bill Wasik organized the first successful flash mob in May, 2003.

B．People are encouraged to take a more active part in an activity.

C．Flash mobs tend to do something illegal for a short time.

D．Flash mob gathering can frighten all the people present.

Americans get some of their news and entertainment from public television and radio. These public media receive money to operate from private citizens, organizations and government. Many of their programs are educational. But most of the American media are run by businesses for profit. These privately owned media have changed greatly in recent years. Newspapers, magazines and traditional broadcast television organizations have lost some of their popularity. At the same time, online, cable and satellite media have increased in numbers and strength. So have media that serve racial groups and those communicating in foreign languages.

In general, more media than ever now provide Americans with news and entertainment. At the same time, fewer owners control them. Huge companies have many holdings(股份). In some areas, one company controls much of the media. One dramatic change in American media is the increased success of cable television. It comes into most homes over wires. It does not use the public airwaves to present programs, as broadcast television does. Like broadcast television, most cable television programs perform advertisements. This is true although people must pay to see cable television in their homes. Thirty years ago, few people had cable. Today, about sixty-eight percent of American homes have cable television. Television by satellite also is gaining popularity.

Over the years, traditional broadcast organizations have tried to appeal to as many watchers as possible. Many cable companies, however, present programs for one special group of viewers. For example, there are cable stations for people who like books, cooking, travel, golf or comedy.

29.Which of the following is true about American public media?

A. They depend on the government.

B. They are controlled by the government

C. They are free

D. They can earn money.

30. Which of the following properly shows the change in these privately owned media?

A. Newspapers are getting more popular.

B. Satellite media is getting more po
