Alia Sabur, from Northport, N. Y., US, went to college at age 10. And four years later, Sabur became a bachelor of science in. Applied Mathematics summa cum laude（以最優等成績）from Stony Brook University -- the youngest female in US history to do so. Her education continued at Drexel University, where she earned a Master of Science and a Doctor of Philosophy (哲學博士) in Materials Science and Engineering.
With an unlimited future ahead of her, Sabur directed her first career choice to teaching. "I really enjoy teaching," she said. She was three days short of her 19th birthday in February, 2008, when she was hired to become a professor at Konkuk University in Seoul, Korea. This distinction made her the youngest college professor in history, according to the Guinness' Book of Worm Records, beating the previous record held by Colin Maclaurin, a student of Isaac Newton, in 1717.
Although she doesn't start until next month, Sabur has taken up teaching math and physics courses at Southern University in New Orleans. Sabur is old enough to teach in the city, but not to join her fellow professors in a bar after work. In Korea, where the drinking age is 20, she might have more luck. In traditional Korean culture, children are considered to be 1 year old-when they are born, and add a year to their age every New Year instead of their actual birthday, so in Korea Sabur is considered 20.
On top of her unprecedented (空前的) academic achievements, Sabur has a black belt in Tae Kwon Do (跆拳道黑帶). She is also a talented clarinet (豎笛) player who has performed with musicians like Lang Lang and Smash Mouth. So is there anything Sabur can't do?
【小題1】We can learn from the passage that Sabur is ________.
| A．America's youngest bachelor of science |

A few minutes ago, walking back from lunch I started to cross the street when I heard the sound of a coin dropping. It wasn’t much but, as I turned, my eyes caught the heads of several other people turning too. A woman had dropped what appeared to be a dime.
The tinkling sound of a coin dropping on sidewalk is an attention-getter. It can be nothing more than a penny. Whatever the coin is, no one ignores the sound of it. It got me thinking about sounds again.
We are surrounded y so many sounds that attract the most attention. People in New York City seldom turn to look when a fire engine, a police car or an ambulance comes screaming along the street.
When I’m in New York, I’m a New Yorker. I don’t turn either. Like the natives. I hardly hear a siren (警笛) there .
At home in my little town in Connecticut, it’s different. The distant loud noise of a police car , an emergency vehicle or a fire siren brings me to my feet if I’m seated and brings me to the window if I’m in bed .
It’s the quietest sounds that have most effect on us, not the loudest. In the middle of the night, I can hear a dripping tap a hundred yards away through three closed doors. I’ve been hearing little creaking noises and sounds which my imagination turns into footsteps in the middle of the night for twenty-five years in our house. How come I never hear those sounds in the daytime?
I’m quite clear in my mind what the good sounds are and what he bad sounds are
I’ve turned against whistling, for instance. I used to think of it as the mark of a happy worker but lately I’ve been connecting the whistler with a nervous person making noises.
The tapping, tapping, tapping of my typewriter as the keys hit the paper is a lovely sound to me. I often like the sound of what I write better than the looks of it.
1．The sound of a coin dropping makes people _________
A．think of money B．look at each other
C．pay attention to it D．stop crossing the street
2．How does the author relate to sounds at night?
A．He imagines sounds that do not exist.
B．He thinks taps should be turned off
C．He believes it’s rather quiet at night
D．He overstates quiet sounds
3．He dislikes whistling because __________.
A．he is tired of it B．he used to be happier
C．it reminds him of tense people D．he doesn’t like workers
4．What kind of sound does he find pleasant?
A．Tapping of his typewriter B．Clinking sound of keys
C．Tinkling sound of a coin dropping D．Creaking sounds
5．How does the writer feel about sounds in general?
A．They make him feel at home
B．He thinks they should be ignored
C．He believes they are part of our lives
D．He prefers silence to loud noises

Generation next is usually a powerful unknown. Sometimes called Generation Y, sometimes called the Millennials (千禧代), this group of 16-to-25-year-olds live in a world of high-tech advances, increasing racial diversity and economic growth. And it is a generation expected to affect major social change.
"This is us," said Katie Stroud,16 from South Carolina, US. "This is how we are. Take it or leave it."
The problem is, they're proving hard to define.
"This group is unique," said Ken Shin, a sociology professor at the University of South Carolina. "They have different values. They're more informed. They're more tolerant."
Generation Y is expected to do great things -- to move beyond thought to action.
"As a generation, they are the strongest and most intelligent," said Joyce Fields, a professor at Columbia College in South Carolina.
Generation Y has grown up in a digital, instant-messaging age. DVDs, iPods and cell phones are just part of everyday life for this Interact-surfing generation.
"I feel that we're very smart," said Shawn Rumph,18, of Columbia, S.C. "Look at all the technology we have to help us learn."
Since they have grown up in good times, for Generation Y, success and wealth are almost certain. Their attitude, therefore, shows that they're optimistic and materialistic, Fields said.
Richard Perry, an 18-year-old University of South Carolina student, agrees that Generation Y is materialistic. "Everybody is into new stuff," he said.
To marketers selling soda, music, clothes and computers, members of Generation Y look like human dollar signs.
With a "buy now, pay later" mentality, this group is assaulted with Web ads and TV commercials aimed at getting them to part with their and their parents' money.
Despite the insistence on having modem-day conveniences, in many ways Generation Y is traditional, experts say. Getting an education and having a family are important.
Besides, some Generation Y members say they are comfortable with racial diversity and expect discrimination to disappear.
Elizabeth Pope,16, of South Carolina, said Generation Y probably will elect the first female or minority-race president.
In any ease, Fields is confident in Generation Y. "I think we're in good hands."
1. In this passage, how many such optimistic young people are mentioned?
A. Four B. Five C. Six D. Two
2. Which of the following characteristics of Generation Y is NOT mentioned by Joyce Fields?
A. the strongest B. more tolerant
C. the most intelligent D. optimistic and materialistic
3. What does it mean by "Everybody is into new stuff."?
A. Generation Y is in the direction of wealth.
B. Generation Y has different social values.
C. Generation Y is during a period of being lost.
D. Generation Y is interested in new things.
4. According to the passage, what's the attitude of the experts towards Generation Y?
A. suspicious B. sympathetic C. optimistic D. pessimistic
5. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. People of Generation Y are more informed and more tolerant.
B. DVDs, iPods and cell phones are all of everyday life for Generation Y.
C. Success and wealth are almost certain for Generation Y.
D. In many ways people of Generation Y are traditional, though.
