Passage Two Well, it could not have got better for young Kavya Shivashankar, a 13-year-old student from Olathe, Kansas as she came out very successfully at the Scripps National Spelling Bee 2009 (2009全美拼写大赛). On Thursday night she defeated the other 11 finalists to win the 82nd Scripps National Spelling Bee, taking home more than $40, 000 cash money along with other prizes. Kavya Shivashankar, whose parents migrated to the United States from India, and who aims to become a doctor, enjoys playing the violin, bicycling, swimming and learning Indian classical dance. Thing came a bit late in Kavya’s life since she could win the championship with her fourth appearance in the competition. The last three times when she had taken part in the same competition she had finished Tenth, Eighth and Fourth. However, this time Kavya proved her courage and determination by winning the title she had been competing for so long. Her last challenge was to spell out "Laodicean". The word" Laodieean" means one who is indifferent, mostly in religious matters. She spelled it correctly and a big smile appeared on her face. Kavya wrote the words on her palm each time and spelled every word correctly. After winning Kavya exelaimed, " I can’t believe it happened It feels kind of unreal. " Her family was there to support her through the competition. Her father, Mirle Shivashankar said, "The competitiveness is in her.., but she doesn’t show that. She still has that smile. That’s her quality. " He went on to say that this was"the moment" they had been waiting for so long. It was like"a dream come true" for them. Who is Kavya Shivashankar

Passage One One of the most interesting experiments in electronic communication I’ve ever seen is coming from Wave. It’s real-time e-mail. What that means is that as you’re typing a message in Wave, either a new message or a reply, the person you’re writing to can see what you’re typing as you type it. Sounds awful, right You don’t have to use Wave in this real-time way. It also works as a standard e-mail. What’s really different about Wave is that if you’re replying to a message and the person you’re replying to happen to be online, they can jump into the conversation at that point, and change what is an e-mail conversation into an instant message conversation or a chat. Wave right now is still closed to most users. And Wave isn’t yet connected to other communication systems, like regular e-mail, which means that the only people we can Wave with are other people on Wave as well. So we don’t yet know what using Wave will be like once it gets crowded like e-mail. Also, the technology behind Wave is far more demanding on servers and the Internet itself than regular e-mail or chat, so we don’t know if the technology will work at scale. But Wave really is a current re-think of e-mail. A lot of people won’t like it. A lot of people didn’t like e-mail either when it first showed up. But people will find real uses for Wave or whatever it becomes, and it’s one of the most interesting new takes on communication. Even if you don’t like it, it will make you think differently about e-mail. We know from the last paragraph that ______.
A. Wave is a basis for face-to-face communication on line
B. Wave allows people to look at e-mail from a new angle
C. most Internet users will have access to Wave
D. Wave is now as popular as standard e-mail

某省会城市有一个非营利性公益组织,由一些大中型企业赞助,教育援助办公室是其中的一个部门,主要负责对教育资源缺乏的地区提供帮助。 该办公室有三个人:主任王立、小方和大姐李娜。王立,已有多年公益事业经验,在本部门已工作3年,非常有责任心,但要求严格,经常指导小方,对小方规定过死,有时干涉到工作细节方面,甚至影响了小方独立性的发挥。小方,新分配到这个部门,到本部门半年多时间。李娜,原来在师范院校团委工作了7年,来本部门1年多。李娜原负责师资筹备工作,现在这个工作由小方来接管。 最近,该省一个教育落后的贫困县教育资源十分贫乏,向这个组织提出教育援助申请。基金会考察后同意援助,在经过多方筹集之后,资金还缺200万,师资资源也较为缺乏。具体的工作落到了小方这个部门,王立让小方负责师资援助方面,李娜负责资金筹措方面。 如果你是小方,忽然得知本省团省委也在组织对该县的进行一个支教工作的方案,你会怎么办
