Passage 5 Almost every new innovation goes through three phases. When initially introducing into the market, the process of

1.___________

adoption is slow. The early models are expensive and hard to use, and perhaps even unsafe. The economic impact is relatively great.

2.____________

The second phase is the explosive one, while the innovation was

3.___________

rapidly adopted by a large number of people. It gets cheaper and easier to use and becomes something familiar. And then in the third stage, diffusion of the innovation slows down again, as if it

4.___________

permeates out across the economy. During the explosive phase ,whole new industries spring up to produce the new product or innovation, and to service it. For example, during the 1920s, there was dramatic acceleration in

5._____________

auto production, at 1.9 million in 1920 to 4.5 million in 1929.

6.______________

This boom was accompanied by all sorts of other essential activities necessary for an auto-based nation: Roads had to been

7.___________

built for the cars to run on; refineries and oil wells, to provide the gasoline; and garages, to repair it.

8.________

Historically, the same pattern is repeated once and again with

9.__________

innovations. The construction of the electrical system required an enormous early investment in generation and distribution capacity. The introduction of the radio was followed by a buying spree by Americans what quickly brought

10.___________

radios into almost half of all households by 1930s, up from nearly none in 1924.

Passage 6 Learning does not happen passively. It is an activity which a Person does. It is a task which can be attempted in various of 1.______________ Ways, some of which are more appropriate than others. When the Material to be learned is a brief and simple kind which is familiar 2_____________

with the person and of intense interest to him, effective learning 3______________ usually proceeds automatically. In the first place, the person at once relates the material to other material which has already 4._____________ securely learned. Subsequently, the relevance of the newly learned material to his interests assures its being recalled on many 5. _________________ occasions, and one repetition minimizes the likelihood of 6________________ remembering. Furthermore, the subsequent use of the new material 7._______________ is likely to take place in a variety of contexts and so the material becomes related to a narrower range of other material. Because of 8._______________ all this, the material is rapidly learned, long retained ,and recalled with increasingly readiness in a variety of contexts. Without really 9.________________ trying, the person had fulfilled a few important conditions of 10._______________ effective learning.

Passage 7 After months of speculation about what Amazon. Com would do with its mysterious search-engine company, A9, Web surfers finally got their first taste on April 14th. Yet despite of some 1.___________ intriguing new features not yet found on leading sites such as Google. And Yahoo!, the site (www. A9. com) – still in test mode-rises as many questions as its answers. The biggest 2.___________ question remains is whether Amazon through A9, would clash 3.__________ into Google more directly. Google itself is testing a search engine 4._________ for products called Froogle that’s starting to appeal Web shoppers. 5.___________ At the same time, Amazon clearly isn’t looking to limit A9’s horizons. How directly A9 eventually goes up against the reigned 6.__________ search champion, it faced lots of challenges. For one, it may run 7.___________ into some of the same privacy issues that recently have plagued Google. A9’s privacy policy points out that information provided through entering search term or by signing into one’s Amazon 8.___________ account could supply the company with information that could personally identify the searcher. Those may be somewhat less 9.____________ instructive than Google’s upcoming Gmail free

e-mail offering, which could search the contents of messages to pitch personalized ads. But comments posted on some sites already indicate some people are uncomfortable with Google’s potential threats to privacy.

Passage 8 Doctors tell us not to smoke, but lots of people smoke Tobacco every day. Long ago, no one in the Europe smoked the 1._________ Tobacco plant was unknown there. It grew in America, and Christopher Columbus found it there. Later he returned Europe 2.________ and told everyone about tobacco. He sad that the American Indians often smoked that. One way of smoking was this: the 3.________ American Indians threw some tobacco leaves with fire. Then they 4.________ put long tubes in their mouths. The other ends of the tubes were over the fire, so they were able to draw the smoke from their 5.________ mouths. About the year 1560, a Frenchman, Jean Nicot, was living in Lisbon, Portugal. He was very interesting in all American 6._________ plants, some of them were very different than the plants of Europe. 7.________ He ( and other men too ) used the leaves of the tobacco plant to Cure pain. If a person had a bad pain in a leg or an arm, Nicot put Tobacco leaves on the painless place. He tried to cure the pain in 8.________ That way. Besides, we say now that tobacco contains nicotine. 9._______ A word nicotine comes from this man’s name. 10.______

Passage 9 Word came from California of a new weapon in the war on Household pests. Two scientists work for a firm in California 1._________ developed a new method to eliminate insects with using dangerous 2._________ chemicals. The new weapon-hot air. The basic idea is that insect pests can adjust to temperature much above normal. In laboratory 3._______

experiments, cockroaches and termites can’t survive much more than a quarter of hour at 100 degrees Fahrenheit or about 50 4._______ degrees centigrade. The new method involves covering a house with a huge tent, and fill it with air hearted to around 65 degrees 5._______ centigrade. Hot air is forced in with fans and the tent keeps the heat inside the house. Although termites try to escape by hiding in wood beams, the 6._______ heat treatment must be continued by four to six hours. But when it’s 7._______ All over and the insects are dead, there are no toxic residues to Danger humans or pets, and no funny smells. Scientists claim that 8._______ there’s no danger of fire too, since very few household materials 9.______ will burn at 65 degrees centigrade. In fact, wood is prepared for construction use by drying in the ovens at 100 degrees centigrade, that is substantially hotter. 10._______

Passage 10 Expressing Yourself in English is an interesting new textbook with some variations from the traditional ones in its approach. They would seem appropriate for self-study, especially when used 1.___________ in conjunction with the cassette, but is primarily intended of 2.___________ classroom use. Indeed, the text itself contains notes to the teachers rather than that appearing under a separate teacher’s guide. Each 3.___________ unit contains three readings, all of which ,except for those appearing in the ninth and the final unit, are illustrated. The teacher’s notes indicate the teacher should refrain of answering 4.___________ students’ questions about these readings until each student has

worked through all the reading comprehension exercises without help. Among the book’s distinctive features is the fact that contains 5.__________ a more extensive list of references than any other writing for this 6.___________ level, while exercise are provided and allow students to be creative with the English they learn. Again, like most comparable 7.____________ texts, Expressing Yourself in English does not formally introduce the verb until Unit 3. One hint for teachers and students likely is 8.____________ that students should not expect to be successful with the examinations offered in the body of the text if they study outside 9.___________ of class and memorize the dialogue that introduces each unit. In order to keep the price lowly, the book is paperbound and all 10._____________ pictures and illustrations are in black and white. They textbook will be accompanied by a workbook to be published later this year.
