One day，Mr.Arnold was teaching a lesson，and things were going as normally as ever.He was explaining the story of mankind to his pupils.He told them that，in the beginning，men were nomads(游牧人)；they never stayed in the same place for very long.Instead，they would travel about，here and there，in search of food，wherever it was to be found. And when the food ran out，they would move off somewhere else.
He taught them about the invention of farming and keeping animals.This was an important discovery，because by learning to cultivate(耕作)the land，and care for animals，mankind would always have food steadily available.It also meant that people could remain living in one place，and this made it easier to set about tasks that would take a long while to complete，like building towns，cities，and all that were in them.All the children listening were attracted by this story，until Lucy jumped up：
“And if that was so important and improved everything so much，why are we nomads all over again，Mr.Arnold？”
Mr.Arnold didn't know what to say. Lucy was a very intelligent girl.He knew that she lived with her parents in a house，so she must know that her family were not nomads；so what did she mean?
“We have all become nomads again，” continued Lucy.“The other day，outside the city，they were cutting the forest down. A while ago a fisherman told me how they fish.It's the same with everyone：when there's no more forest left, the foresters go elsewhere，and when the fish run out, the fishermen move on.That's what the nomads did，isn't it？”
The teacher nodded,thoughtfully. Really,Lucy was right. Mankind had turned into nomads. Instead of looking after the land in a way that we could be sure it would keep supplying our needs，we kept developing it until the land was bare.And then off we would go to the next place！ The class spent the rest of the afternoon talking about what they could do to show how to be more civilized.
The next day everyone attended class wearing a green Tshirt，with a message that said，“I am not a nomad！”
And，from then on，they set about showing that indeed they were not.Every time they knew they needed something，they made sure that they would get it using care and control.If they needed wood or paper，they would make sure that they got the recycled kind.They ordered their fish from fish farms，making sure that the fish they received were not too young and too small.They only used animals that were well cared for，and brought up on farms.
And so，from their little town，those children managed to give up being nomads again，just as prehistoric men had done so many thousands of years ago.

Mass media are tools of communication.Mass media allow us to record and pass information rapidly to a large，scattered(分散的)audience.They extend our ability to talk to each other by helping us overcome barriers caused by time and space.
There are various ways in which mass media make daily life easier for us.
First,they inform and help us keep a watch on our world. They gather and pass on information we would be unlikely or unable to get on our own.
Second，mass media help us to arrange our time and life. What we talk about and what we think about are greatly influenced by the media.When people get together，they tend to talk about certain happenings in the newspapers or on TV.Because we are exposed(暴露)to different points of view through different kinds of media every day，we are able to evaluate(评价)all sides of a certain issue.
Third,the media are used to persuade people. A good example is advertising through the media.Newspapers，magazines and TV are filled with all kinds of colorful，persuasive advertisements.Though many advertising may not say openly that they want you to buy a certain product，they describe their products in such a way that you may want to buy them.
Fourth,the media also entertain. All of the media make some efforts to entertain their audience.For instance，even though the newspaper is primarily a medium of information，it also contains entertainment features(特征)．Television，motion pictures，fiction books and some radio stations and magazines are devoted mainly to entertainment.It is estimated that in the future，the entertainment function of mass media will become even more important than it is now.

Does Fame Drive You Crazy?
Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today’s star, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the world’s attention. Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature.
According to psychologist Christina Villareal, celebrities（famous people名人) worry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. “Over time,” Villareal says, “they feel separated and alone.”
The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B.C., painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain about his lack of privacy(隐私). Tabloids(小报) of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.
Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.
If fame is so troublesome, why aren’t all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.
Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.

A. are often misunderstood by the public
B. can no longer have their privacy protected

C. Lack of favorable chances.
D. Huge population of fans.
4.What is the author’s attitude toward modern celebrity?
A. Sincere B. doubtful
C. objective D. Sympathetic
Fort Scott High School English teacher Emily Rountree has been working this semester to raise money for Charity Water, a nonprofit organization that uses 100 percent public donations to help fund water projects in places without access to clean drinking water. Her goal was to motivate her students to use their writing in class to make a real-world difference. Twelve students got top grades for the project, and their articles will be published both in The Tribune and online. Here is one example:
Did you know that there are many countries around the world that don’t have access to safe drinking water? Just think: that could be you, or someone in your family. My name is Tanner Johnson, and I attend Fort Scott High School. In my English classes, we are trying to raise money for Charity Water. Charity Water is an organization that helps people get water in countries where there is no safe drinking water.
In developing countries, 780 million people don’t have access to clean drinking water. In Africa alone, people spend 40 billion hours every year just walking to get water. Women and children are the ones that mainly do the walking. They could be attacked or get hurt while they travel to get water. When they do get home, the water that they have brought is unsafe water from swamps, ponds, or rivers. If they had safe drinking water, they wouldn’t have to worry about these problems, and they wouldn’t be wasting hours of their day. Unsafe drinking water causes many different kinds of diseases that could lead to death.
You could help save someone’s life, by donating $20 so we can help get them some safe drinking water. You can easily donate online at mycharitywater.org/fshsenglish, or you can send a check to Emily Rountree, payable to Fort Scott High School. If we don’t help these people, then who will?
1. How can the students make a difference to the world?
A. By donating all their pocket money.
B. By collecting money in their spare time.
C. By giving away their money from what they earn by writing.
D. By behaving well in class.
2. From what Tanner Johnson said, we know that ____________.
A. the students know a lot about the world

C. staff at the website will collect all the money
D. it is easiest to pay by check
