Not long ago，"blind box economy" suddenly became popular，winning the heart of large numbers of faithful fans.People simply get interested in it.A couple spent 200 thousand yuan on them.Another sixty-year-old guy spent over 700 thousand yuan in buying blind boxes.Statistics showed that last year 300 thousand hobbyists made deals through a second-hand shopping platform.
   The blind boxes usually contain peripheral（周邊的）dolls of comics and animation，or film and television，or specially designed ones.A single blind box usually costs about thirty to fifty yuan.But there is no mark on the box，and only after opening it can the buyer see what he has bought.This is rather like buying lottery tickets，for the buyer has to bet on his luck.
   However，addiction to blind box is much like that to gambling（賭博）.It is highly nontransparent compared with lottery ticket.Nobody knows whether sellers of blind boxes exaggerated（夸大）the winning rate so as to attract people to buy them，thus digging a consumption trap.Besides，it is also unknown whether the objects in the blind boxes are genuine or not.The blind box economy promoted its second-hand trade.The price of some classic dolls or dolls of limited edition have skyrocketed in second-hand trade platforms，and some may reach thirty to forty times.But it is difficult for buyers to judge whether it is the result of real supply and demand，or the consequence of businessmen's tricks.
   The basis of the "blind box economy" is the cultural trend of collection.Many of the target consumers are young people who have scanty experience of life.They are thus attracted by deliberately exaggerated probability of "winning a prize" and constantly throw money to buy blind boxes in order to gain dolls that they desire.Or they may buy at second-hand trade platform high-priced blind box dolls，thinking they can keep value preservation and appreciation，thus falling into the fixed pattern of trap carefully designed by businessmen.
   Therefore，it is necessary to remind young people to control their consumption in case they become addicted.

1．It's school time again!You're probably feeling excited and maybe a little sad for the vacation is over.Some kids feel nervous or a little scared on the first day of school because of all the new things：new teachers，new friends，and maybe even a new school.Luckily，these "new" worries only stick around for a little while.Let's find out more about going back to school.
   Most teachers kick off the school year by introducing themselves and talking about what you'll be doing that year.Some teachers give students a chance to tell something about themselves to the rest of the class.
   When teachers do the talking on the first day，they often go over classroom rules so you'll know what's allowed and what's not.Pay close attention so you'll know if you need to raise your hand to ask a question and what the rules are about visiting the restroom.

2．Surfing the Internet for fun will make you a better employee，according to an Australian study.
   The University of Melbourne study shows that people who use the Internet for their own reasons at work are about 9 percent more productive than those who do not.Study author Brent Coker said， "Surfing the Internet at times helps increase an employee's attention."
   "People need to relax for a bit to get back their attention，" Coker said on the university's website. "Having a short break，such as a quick surfing of the Internet，helps the mind to rest itself，leading to a higher total Internet attention for a day's work，and as a result，increases productivity（生產(chǎn)效率），" he said.
   According to the study of 300 workers，70 percent of people who use the Internet at work surf the Internet for their own reasons during office hours.Among the most popular surfing activities are searching for information about products，reading online news，playing online games and watching videos. "Firms spend a lot of money on software to block their employees from watching video，using social networking sites or shopping online，" said Coker. "That's not always a good idea."
   However，Coker said the study looked at people who surfed the Internet in moderation（適度），or were on the Internet for less than 20 percent of their total time in the office. "Those who spend too much time surfing the Internet will have a lower productivity than those without，" he said.

C．Surfing the Internet for fun during office hours increases productivity.
D．The Internet is becoming more and more important in people's life.

B．surfing the Internet is the best way to increase productivity
C．workers should have a long break during office hours
D．Workers should let their minds rest now and then
（3）Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as one of the most popular surfing activities？

A．Watching videos.

3．The term "graffiti" is an Italian word meaning scratching or scribbling（亂涂）．It entered the English language in the 1850s，specifically to describe the casual wall writing that experts found in Pompeii and the Roman tombs．Originally a term used only in ancient scribbling，the word has undergone considerable expansion of meaning in the past 75 years so that it now refers to any written message on a wall．Graffiti are characterized by their casualness；if they were more formal，they would be known as inscriptions（銘文）．
   The first piece of graffiti was found on one of the walls of the city Pompeii，which was destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD．It was one of 1，600 pieces of graffiti uncovered in Pompeii during a dig in the 19th century．Not surprisingly，there is much evidence of graffiti writing on the pyramid and temples of ancient Egypt．It is likely that ever since people have had walls and materials to scratch or paint with，they have been engaged in this simplest form of communication．
   The writing of graffiti gives people a unique opportunity to achieve some kind of public audience．Thus short poems，declarations of love，pieces of political and revolutionary polemic（論戰(zhàn)），and criticisms of institutions and people form a significant part of graffiti．
   Apart from its usefulness in terms of self-expression，graffiti is also a valuable source for historians．There is always the possibility that historical events may be recorded by the presence of graffiti．Perhaps the most interesting example of this is the graffiti relating to the gladiatorial（角斗士） contests held in Pompeii．Graffiti can also give us a unique view into the daily life and customs of a people，for its casual expression encourages the recording of details that more formal writing would tend to ignore．
    In the late 1970s，graffiti became popular．A thought written on a toilet wall in Wolverhampton can now be read in Chicago or Adelaide．In its own way，this is probably the most fascinating example of McLuhan's concept of "the global village"． We now have a worldwide toilet wall．

（1）According to the first paragraph，graffiti

．
A．is another name for "inscription"
B．got its name from the English language
C．was born in the 1850s
D．Mainly refers to casual writing or pictures on walls

A．Graffiti has a long history．
B．Graffiti is an attractive form of art．
C．Graffiti made the ancient city Pompeii famous．
D．Graffiti was ancient Egyptian's main way of communication．
（3）What does the third and fourth paragraphs mainly tell us？

A．Graffiti's great value．
B．Graffiti's features．
C．Graffiti's way of expression．
D．Graffiti's connection with people's daily life．
