No matter what kind of situation we’re in, they always seem to know just what to say and how to say it so that we’re not offended or upset. We probably also know people who are masters at managing their emotions. They don’t get angry in stressful situations. Instead, they have the ability to calmly look at a problem and find a solution. They take criticism well, and they know when to use it to improve their performance.People like this have a high degree of emotional intelligence, or EI. They know themselves very well, and they’re also able to sense the emotional needs of others.As more and more people accept that emotional intelligence is just as important to professional success as technical ability, companies are increasingly using EI when they hire and promote someone. For example, one large cosmetics company recently revised their hiring process for salespeople to choose candidates based on emotional intelligence. The result? Salespeople hired with the new system have sold, on average, $91,000 more than salespeople selected under the old system.Emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize your emotions, understand what they are telling you, and realize how your emotions affect people around you. Emotional intelligence also involves your perception of others:when you understand how they feel, this allows you to manage relationships more effectively.People with high emotion al intelligence are usually successful in most things they do. Why? Because they’re the ones that others want on their team. When people with high EI send an email, it gets answered. When they need help, they get it. Because they make others feel good, they go through life much more easily than people who are easily angered or upset.The good news is that emotional intelligence can be taught and developed. Many books and tests are available to help you determine your current EI, and identify where you may need to do some work.8. According to the passage, we’re all probably impressed by people who .A. are ready to help othersB. are very successful in their livesC. have high emotional intelligenceD. know how to control their temper9. By mentioning the cosmetics company, the author tries to .A. stress the importance of emotional intelligenceB. speak highly of its new salespeopleC. show its effective hiring systemD. explain what improvements it has made10. The underlined word “they” in the fourth paragraph refers to ““.A. your emotionsB. people around youC. effective relationshipsD. your opinions of others11. What’s most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?A. What emotional intelligence isB. How emotional intelligence can be improvedC. Many books on emotional intelligenceD. More people with high emotional intelligence3. 【2018·黑龙江省双鸭山市第一中学高二4月月考】DClimate change will force exhausted birds migrating to Europe from Africa to travel further, with possibly disastrous consequences, according to a study.The annual voyage of some species, which fly north in search of food and suitable habitats, could increase by as much as 400 kilometers (250 miles), the research found. “Marathon migrations for some bird s are set to become even longer,” said Stephen Willis, a professor at Durham University in Britain and the main architect of the study. “This isbad news for birds like the White throat, a common farmland bird. The added distance is a considerable threat. As temperatures rise and habitats change, birds will face their biggest challenge since the Pleistocene era (更新世), which ended 11,000 years ago,” he said in a statement.Some 500 million birds migrate each year from Africa, some weighing as little as nine grams (three-tenths of an ounce). To complete a voyage that can be thousands of kilometers long, birds have to fatten themselves up to twice their normal weight. Some even shrink their internal organs (收缩内脏) to become more fuel efficient, so any additional distance may be dangerous.The study finds that from 2007 to 2010, nine out of 17 species examined are going to face longer migrations, particularly birds that cross the Sahara Desert. Some birds travel the Sahara and the Mediterranean Sea in a one go, while others have a break in northern Africa before crossing. Many fly at night, when temperatures are cooler.A few — such as the Blackcap — have started to adapt by spending winters in Britain, but such behavior remains exceptional, the study said. The study forecasts that the migration distance of the Orphean Warbler will jump from 2,700 kilometers (1,700 miles) to between 3,050 and 3,350 kilometers (1,900 and 2,100 miles), with even longer increases for the Subalpine and Barred Warblers.12. What does traveling extra distance mean for some migrating birds?A. Better living conditions.B. Better physical health.C. Stronger ability to fly.D. Bigger threat to life.13. To complete the marathon migrations, some birds have to do the following except ______.A. have a break in the SaharaB. put on more weightC. reduce the size of internal organsD. fly at night to avoid the heat14. What can we infer from the text?A. Birds have to migrate from Africa to Europe in winter.B. Global warming is bad for all birds worldwide.C. Birds that are of small size don’t need to migrate.D. Some birds have to migrate unless they adapt to climate change.15. What’s the best title of the text?A. Climate change leads to disastrous consequenceB. The annual voyage of some speciesC. How birds migrate for longer distancesD. Climate change pushes birds to migrate farther4.【安徽省六安市第一中学2017-2018学年高二下学期第一次阶段性考试】COne day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem—inability to read.In the library, I found my way into the “Children’s Room.” I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.There on the book’s cover was a beagle which looked identical (相同的) to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. The dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together.My mother’s call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.I never told my mother about my “miraculous” (奇迹般的) experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words was held.8. The author’s mother told him to borrow a book in order to .A. encourage him to do more walkingB. let him spend a meaningful summerC. help cure him of his reading problemsD. make him learn more about weapons9. The book caught the author’s eye because .A. it contained pretty pictures of animalsB. it reminded him of his own dogC. he found its title easy to understandD. he liked children’s stories very much10. Why could the author manage to read the book through?A. He was forced by his mother to read it.B. The happy ending of the story attracted him.C. The book told the story of his pet dog.D. He identified with the story in the book.11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. The author has become a successful writer.B. The author’s mother read the same book.C. The author’s mother rewarded him with books.D. The author has had happy summers ever since.5. 【安徽省六安市第一中学2017-2018学年高二下学期第一次阶段性考试】DIn the movie Alice in Wonderland, Alice comes across a Cheshire cat and asks the cat which road she should take. The cat responds, “Well, that depends on where you’re trying to get to.” Alice replies, “I don’t know.” T he cat responds, “Then any road will do.”You see, knowing where you’re going increases your chances dramatically of getting there, and there is no better way of “GETTING THERE” than setting your goals for the upcoming year. Think of your goals as destinat ions and the action steps as your GPS guiding and directing you. If you are like many other people, for years you have resisted the need to set goals and even laughed at the thought that setting goals and, even more importantly, committing them to writing have positive effects on your life. However, a closer look might convince you that setting goals is a sensible thing to do.In 1979, a class of Harvard MBA students was asked: Have you set clear, written goals for your future and made an action plan to accomplish them? The following will astonish you. Only 3 percent of the class had written goals and a plan in place, 13% just had goals, and an amazing 84% had no specific goals at all.Ten years later the numbers of the class were interviewed once again and the following results will no doubt give the reason for our setting goals. The findings were that the 13% who had goals were earning, on average, twice asmuch as the 84% who had no goals at all. And the 3 percent who had clear, written goals with a plan to achieve them were achieving ten times as much as the entire 97% combined.Goal setting will increase your chances of arriving successfully at your destination. Remember, always set SMART goals. Goals should be: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bound!12. Why does the author mention Alice in Wonderland?A. To introduce the topic.B. To recommend it to readers.C. To show its popularity.D. To criticize those with no goals.13. What does the underlined word “them” refer to?A. Action steps.B. People.C. Goals.D. Effects.14. What did the second interview find out?A. Action helped with the realization of goals.B. People with goals were certain to succeed.C. The income gap among students was bigger.D. People with goals earned the most.15. Which of the following can best serve as the title?A. Why we set goalsB. How to set goalsC. How to be successfulD. What SMART goals are6. 【湖北省孝感市八校教学联盟2017-2018学年高二下学期期中联合考试】DOne night, Pilar was in a deep sleep when she was woken by her cat In ti. Inti was meowing wildly outside Pilar’s bedroom and throwing himself against the closed bedroom door. When Pilar opened her eyes, she saw that her bedroom was filled with smoke. As she escaped her house with Inti in her arms, she saw that a fire was burning in her kitchen. Pilar could easily have lost her life, but Inti would not let that happen. Even though Inti could have escapedthe house through a cat door, he wouldn’t leave Pilar.As amazing as this story is, it is not as uncommon as you may think. Take the example of Charlotte Lee and her horse, Thunder. One summer night, the whole family was asleep with the windows open. It was normally very quiet where they lived. Suddenly, there was a loud noise. Charlotte woke up from her sweet dream, and the noise continued. Then she heard a horse running fast towards the house. The next thing she saw was Thunder standing outside her window, neighing(嘶叫) and shaking his head. She knew something was wrong. Charlotte quickly got everyone out of the house before the earthquake hit. Thunder has saved her life.There are also stories of wild animals coming to the rescue of humans. One animal known to be a friend of humans is the dolphin. Once, Todd Endris was surfing with his friends when he was attacked by a 13-foot(4-meter) shark. In the middle of the attack, a group of dolphins came to his rescue by forming a protective ring around Endris until he could get safely to shore. Without the help of the dolphins, there is little chance that Todd could have escaped.No one is sure why animals have so often come to our rescue. However, it is clear that humans and animals enjoya close relationship. It is important that we care for them as much as we can.12. Why did Inti throw himself against the door? Because_____.A. he wanted to get out of the roomB. he was trying to wake up his ownerC. he couldn’t find the way out because of smokeD. he felt bored and was playing by himself13.

Both Inti and Thunder_____.A. saved their owners several timesB. used to make noise at nightC. were shy and quietD. were brave, smart and devoted15. What might Todd say to those dolphins?A. Thank you so much.B. What are you doing here.C. Why are you leaving.D. Leave me alone.7. 【河北省黄骅中学2017-2018学年高二下学期第一次月考】DOf all nature 's disasters, forest fires are often considered the most frightening. Moving at lightning speed, hugewalls of flames can burn acres of land in just a few minutes. And although technology, including the use offire-retardant chemicals, has greatly helped the fight against forest fires, they still do great damage.According to the National Interagency Fire Center, the fire season last year was the worst on record in terms of the number of fires and acres burned. There were 96. 385 fires and 9.873429 acres affected by fire in a year that was125% more destructive(毁灭性的) than the10- year average. These fires cost the federal government ＄1.5 billion to fight, and this figure does not include the money spent by local and state governments as part of the effort.Fires in the southern states represented half of the national total last year with Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas being home to a usually high amount of activity. Wildfire has also taken place in Western states such as California, Colorado and Alaska throughout the past 10 years.It is said that two-thirds of forest fires are started accidentally by people. Almost one quarter are purposely set, while lighting causes 10%.Forest fires can have advantageous effects. Charcoal(木炭)enriches soil and some plant species(种类) grow well after fire. The cones of the jack pine tree, for example, will not spread their seeds unless there is heat. Douglas fir trees grow best in open sunlight areas after fire.33. Forest fires are considered to be the most frightening because____.A. fire-retardant chemicals can't be made use ofB. huge walls of flames can burn acres of landC. they make the greatest loss of all disastersD. they spread too fast and do great damage34.

She boarded a Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit District bus and exited the West Springfield and North Mathews avenues at 1:52 pm local time（1852 GMT）, police said.The FBI has labeled the case as a kidnapping but isn’t ruling out anything, said Campus police spokesman Patrick Wade. The suspect appears to be a white male who was in a car and stopped to talk to Zhang on Friday afternoon, the FBI said. Almost one month into a yearlong appointment at the UIUC campus, Zhang’s friends told police that she was heading to an apartment complex in Urbana to sign a lease（租约）.Security camera footage（连续镜头）on Monday released by university police showed that Zhang talked to the driver of a black Saturn Astra, about five blocks from where she got off a bus in Urbana on Friday afternoon. She entered the car shortly thereafter. Zhang has not been seen or heard from since then and attempts to contact her by phone remain unsuccessful. Authorities have asked the public to help identify that vehicle.A massive search has been launched in Urbana in the US state of Illinois since Zhan g’s disappearance. Police are interviewing with her colleagues, checking local hospitals and coordinating with ride-hailing（打车）companies as part of their investigative efforts.In an interview with Xinhua through Wechat on Thursday, Zhang Ronggao, father of the missing visiting scholar from China’s Fujian Province, expressed gratitude to all the people involved in the search a nd asked US police to accelerate the search.12.

Over time, the tree sap turned into amber (琥珀), preserving the lizard’s mains, which a man discovered and donated to the Miller Museu m of geology at Queen’s University. But the man didn’t report the amber’s age and where he got it.“The man who donated it died, unfortunately,” said Ellen Handyside, an undergraduate student at Queen’s University. “We are really starting from scratch in d etermining its history Ellen Handyside is leading the research into the amber-surrounded lizard. She and her colleagues analyzed the chemical composition of the 4.7-inch -long piece of amber and learned some facts. “The amber wasn’t actually artificial,” she told Live Science, “and we found that it did match up quite well to an amber sample.”The researchers analyzed the amber's carbon and hydrogen isotopes(同位素) and the results indicated that the amber was formed from the sap of a flowering tree. Moreover, the results suggested that the tree and the lizard, for that matter, lived in an area with a lot of rainfall and dated to the Neogene, a period that lasted from the end of the Paleogene Period 23.03 million years ago to the beginning of the present Quatemary Period. Next, the scientific team realized that the 2.7-inch-long lizard was likely a gecko(壁虎), according to a detailed, 3D, digital model of the animal’s body that the researchers created through X-ray microscopy scans.“We looked at the skull ---the teeth are in place and the ear bones are there too. And we’ve even got some flesh, skin and its long toes,” Handyside said. “It’s fantastic!” She said she hoped that they could figure out how the creature fit into the gecko family tree. “When you think of a gecko, you think of short and fat toes and sticky pads. That isn’t what we’re looking at, but it’s more likely to live in trees. If it were a tree-living creature, then its death actually could make more sense,” Handyside said.12. What can probably be inferred about the amber?A. It was obtained by a museum at a low price.B. Its original owner knew nothing about it.C. It was found to be a unique type of amber.D. Its donor didn't say much about its history.13. What was found about the lizard through studying isotopes?A. Its category.B. Its shape.C. Its living habit.D. Its living surroundings.14. What can we learn from Handyside’s words?A. The Lizard's death was caused by a gecko,B. The lizard has fat and short toes.C. The lizard is preserved very well.D. The lizard belongs to the tree living creature.15. What does the author mainly tell us in this passage?A. The discovery of a piece of natural amber.B. The mystery about a piece of amber.C. The research into a piece of amber.D. The meaningful death of a lizard.10.【山东省济宁市第一中学2017-2018学年高二下学期期中】CFailure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.We experience this tiredness in two ways: as start-up fatigue (疲惫) and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it has either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel.Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical order, never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the day’s work with the difficult task of essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works.Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hardas I can—then let the unconscious take over.When planning Encyclopedia Britannica( 《大英百科全书》), I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable.One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relived, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correct at every step. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.Human beings, I believe, must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.8. People with start-up fatigue are most likely to .A. work hardB. delay tasksC. seek helpD. accept failure9. On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue?A. Before starting a difficult task.B. After finding a way out.C. If the job is rather boring.D. When all the solutions fail.10. According to the author, the unconscious mind may help us .A. find the right solutionB. get some nice sleepC. gain complete reliefD. ignore mental problems11. What could be the best title for the passage?A. Success Is Built upon FailureB. How to Handle Performance FatigueC. Getting over Fatigue: A Way to SuccessD. Fatigue: An Early Sign of Health Problems11.【山东省济宁市第一中学2017-2018学年高二下学期期中】DSenses That Work TogetherWhen we think about how our senses work, we usually imagine them operating separately: you sniff a flower, and the smell is delivered uninterrupted from nose to brain. However, it’s more complex tha n that. Most evidence for cross-modal perception (知觉) comes from studies into sound and vision (视觉). But research that shows other senses crossing over is coming out all the time, and it seems that even sound and smell sometimes form an unlikely pairing.W hen New York researchers, Daniel Wesson and Donald Wilson, tried to find out the truth about a “mysterious” area of the brain called the olfactory tubercle (嗅结节)，they had to deal with this fact. Originally, they only intended to measure how olfactory tubercle cells in mice responded to smell. But during testing, Wesson noticed that every time he put his coffee cup down with a clunk (哐啷声)，the mouse cells jumped in activity. In fact, the olfactory tubercle is well-placed to receive both smell and sound information from the outside world. Later they found that among separate cells, most responded to a smell but a significant number were also active when a sound was made. Some cells even behaved differently when smell and sound were presented together, by increasing or decreasing their activity.Of course, mice aren’t people, so research team has been carrying out further experiments. They pulled together a group of people and gave them various drinks to smell. Participants were asked to sniff the drinks, and then match them to appropriate musical instruments and produce the notes at different levels. The results were interesting: piano was regularly paired with fruity fragrances; strong smells sounded like the instruments that are made of metal.Further research found that listening to different sounds can change your perceptions. Studying taste this time, the team ordered some special toffee (太妃糖)and put together “soundscapes” corresponding to bitterness and sweetness. Participants tasted similar pieces of toffee while listening to each soundscape, and found the toffee more bitter or sweeter, depending on which soundtrack they were listening to.Studies like this are helping scientists correctly describe our understanding of the senses, and how the brain combines them with its advantage. The consequences are worth considering. Could we see musicians work together with chefs to produce sound-improved food and drink? Will you be ordering a coffee with a soundtrack to bring out your favorite smell? Come to think of it, that could be one thing you hope coffee shop chains don’t get round to. 12. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 refer to?。

One Christmas Day as I was cooking Christmas dinner to my family, I thought of some elderly people. They were my patients who always alone at home. So I decide to make more and deliver hot meals to them. I saw my two sons play in the house happily, and I made them stop. And I asked him to help me pack and deliver these meals. As we took the food into their poor houses with no heat, they were very moving and we saw tears of joy in their eyes. My sons learned of something priceless.2. 【贵州省铜仁市第一中学2017-2018学年高一下学期开学考试】Dear Mr White,I heard that you are planning to invite for a famous scientist to give us a speech, so I’m writing to ask whether we can have a speech giving by Professor Martin Karplus.Born in March 15, 1930, Professor Martin Karplus is a Austrian-born American theoretical chemist.

大题易丢分（20题）1. D【河北省冀州市中学2017-2018学年高一3月月考】Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in.This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.12. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ________.A. the reasons for successB. the meaning of successC. the standards of successD. the importance of success13. In Paragraph 2, the underlined word refers to ______.A. being good at somethingB. setting a practical goalC. putting in more timeD. succeeding in life14. Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ______.A. work makes one feel painB. one tends to enjoy his workC. one gives up his work easilyD. it takes a lot of time to succeed15. What is the main theme of the passage?A. Having a goal is vital to success.B. Being good is different from being great.C. One cannot succeed without time and practice.D. Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.2. 【河南省中原名校（即豫南九校）2017-2018学年高一上学期期中联考】Some of us friends are making big decisions in their life: Which universities should they apply to? I also noticed that many high school students in China are thinking of studying at universities abroad. Unluckily, from what I’ve seen, the information given by some websites and other media about studying abroad is very limited and sometimes even wrong.There are once a Chinese girl who hoped that she could go to Columbia University in the US because she wanted to major in (主修)journalism. Columbia has a very famous graduate(研究生)program in journalism. However, they have no journalism program at the undergraduate(本科生)level! What’s more in both Canada and the US, it’s not suggested that students throw themselves into journalism right after high school. School say that students should take in more knowledge about the world and writing before entering that field.The University of Waterloo, a Canada university famous for its engineering program, is another example. The emphasis(重视)of engineering in this school may go beyond your expectations. According to our teachers, this university spent millions of dollars building a library just for engineering students. The school’s computer science, mathematics and accounting are also great programs for students.But, to be honest, according to my friends who have visited this university, the campus and the food are not very nice. Maybe this is because the school stresses its academic(学术的)strengths too much, thereby paying little attention to personal comforts.Now you see, choosing a university is really not that easy. We need to do good research and consult as many people as possible before making a decision.4. For high school studen ts it’s very important to ____________.A. choose a proper universityB. study at American universitiesC. learn the information about websitesD. supply the information about studying abroad5. Who can major in journalism program in Columbia University?A. Chinese girlsB. GraduatesC. UndergraduatesD. High school students6. From Paragraph 3 and 4 we can learn in the University of Waterloo_____________.A. engineering program is as famous as computer scienceB. engineering students are the most intelligentC. the campus is very small and dirtyD. the library for engineering students is very good7. What’s the best title for the passage?A. Choosing a university is not easyB. How to study at university abroadC. A Chinese girl and Columbia UniversityD. Academic strengths of the university of Waterloo3. 【河北省石家庄市2017-2018学年高一上学期期末】Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own, not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone.Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life. “It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen. It is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year. He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures.

I loved it, wore it for years, and haven’t had another one since it stopped ticking a decade ago. Why? Because I don’t need one. I have a mobile phone and I’m always near someone with an iPod or something like that. All these devices（装置）tell the time—which is why, if you look around, you’ll see lots of empty wrists; sales of watches to young adults have been going down since 2007.But while the wise have realized that they don’t need them, others-apparently including some distinguished men of our time—are spending total fortunes on them. Brands such as Rolex, Patek Philippe and Breitling command shocking prices, up to £250,000 for a piece.This is ridiculous. Expensive cars go faster than cheap cars. Expensive clothes hang better than cheap clothes. But these days all watches tell the time as well as all other watches. Expensive watches come with extra functions-but who needs them? How often do you dive to 300 meters into the sea or need to find your direction in the area around the South Pole? So why pay that much of five years’ school fees for watches that allow you to do these things?If justice were done, the Swiss watch industry should have closed down when the Japanese discovered how to make accurate watches for a five-pound note. Instead the Swiss reinvented the watch, with the aid of millions of pounds’ worth of advertising, as a message about the man wearing it. Rolexes are for those who spend their weekends climbing icy mountains: a Patek Philippe is for one from a rich or noble family: a Breitling suggests you like to pilot planes across the world.Watches are now classified as “investments”（投资）. A 1994 Philippe recently sold for nearly £350,000,while 1960s Rolexes have gone from £15.000 to £30,000 plus in a year. But a watch is n ot an investment. It’s a toy for self-satisfaction, a matter of fashion. Prices may keep going up—they’ve been rising for 15 years. But when fashion moves on, the owner of that £350,000 beauty will suddenly find his pride and joy is no more a good investment than my childhood times.8. The sales of watches to young people have fallen because they ______.A. have other devices to tell the timeB. think watches too expensiveC. prefer to wear an iPodD. have no sense of time9. It seems ridiculous to the writer that ______.A. people dive 300 meters into the seaB. expensive clothes sell better than cheap onesC. cheap cars don’t run as fast ns expensive onesD. expensive watches with unnecessary functions still sell10. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. Timex or Rolex?B. My Childhood TimexC. Watches? Not for Me!D.

When the wind blew, the sand made it almost impossible for him to see anything. He had to find his way back home by following the barking of dogs.Thankfully, things are much better today. About one third of the desert is now covered with trees, and sandstorms are less common. Ian Teh, who comes from Malaysia, came to China last year and was amazed to see people planting trees in the several deserts in northern China. "To be honest, it was hard to imagine it was ever a desert at all," he said.These are the results of Chinas years-long efforts to deal with desertification (沙漠化). In the 1950s, this widespread problem affected the life of about 400 million people in 18 provinces and autonomous regions in China. So China started several programs to deal with it. For example, the Three-North Shelter Forest Program, saw thousands of trees planted in northern China.In 1994, China joined the United Nations' convention (公约) against desertification and created the world's first law on sand prevention in 2001. With these efforts, the past five years have seen the area of desert in China decrease by 242,400 hectares.Desertification isn't the problem only in China. With china's success in dealing with desertification, the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) believes the country is a good example for other countries to follow. "China is one of the most successful countries in greening the desert and has lessons to share with the world." UNEP Executive Director Erik Solheim told Xinhua.12.

For as long as I remember, putting on a sincere smile when meeting someone had never been easy. The key to a sincere smile however, is simple. It’s to be excited. But that’s the source of the problem. When meeting people, instead of being excited, I often felt upset.But we all know friends are important. The more friends you have, the more opportunities you get, whether it’s job opportunities, a romantic relationship, or business partners. So a smile is important to make others feel comfortable. Mother Teresa said, “Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.”The smile I’m now talking about is not to make a face to cashiers(收银员) or waiters. I’m talking about those wide smiles you make when meeting old friends. So I’ve discovered a trick. And I call this technique(技巧) “Oh, it’s Jamie!” When I meet someone, I imagine an old friend of mine called Jamie who was my first friend wh en we were still kids. It’s no secret why my smile is as wide as I can possibly make. And it’s not just the smile, but my tone and attitude that turn warm as well.And the best part, whenever you’re friendly to others, they turn friendly in return. You’re not hearing this from me. Some research done by scientists actually backs this claim. So do remember to give it a try.Three years ago at the age of 23, I took a long hard look at my life and decided that I was nothing. Tired of mylife, I set about making dramatic changes and now I have become a popular writer. My success reflects(显示) that nothing is too difficult if you try bravely.12.

And they do not like seeing their owners being kind to other creatures, especially other dogs. They often react negatively(消极地)when their owners bring home new pets, the research found. “Dogs show a strong aversion to unfair treatment,” Dr. Friederike Range of the Vienna University said.At first, people believed most animals lack(缺少)the “sense of self” , which is needed to experience so-called secondary emotions such as jealousy, embarrassment or guilt. These emotions are more complex than feelings such as anger or joy.Besides dogs research, another research includes cows, horse, cats and sheep, and all the results have shown thatanimals are far more self-aware than we thought.Dr Paul Morris, a psychologist at the University of Portsmouth who studies animal emotions, told The Sunday Times, “We are learning that dogs, horses, and perhaps many other species are far more emotionally complex than we ever realized. They can suffer simple forms of many emotions we once thought only primates (灵长类) could experience. ”In research among dog owners, Dr Morris found almost all of them reported jealous behavior by their pets. The dog often tried to keep their owner away from a new lover in the early days of a relationship.Behavioral experts suggest that owners should keep a close relationship with the dog as usual when a new pet or child comes along in order to prevent jealous activity from the dog such as interruptions with barking.12. What is the new discovery about the relationship between dogs and human?A. Dogs usually have more emotions than humansB. Dogs are often treated unfairly by humansC. Humans are angry about their dogs’ negative reactionsD. Dogs feel unhappy when their owners show kindness to other creatures13.

Here’s what to do: Take three pens indifferent colors, most suitably red, orange and green. But it’s not too important as long as teachers and students are both clear on the colour code they’re going to use.Students read a text, not worrying too much about how much they understand Teachers can ask them to re-read when students are paying attention to vocabulary. Start by underlining the words that they understand completely (including names, numbers etc) in green.Then students re-read the text and underline the words that look familiar-they maybe know them but aren’t too sure about them. You guessed it: in orange.Finally, students read the text a third time underlining the words they clearly don’t understand in red. Sometimes« teachers might want to set students a limit for how many red words they underline, telling them only to underline the words that they believe are seriously blocking their understanding of the text as a whole. Generally, however, students are pleasantly surprised by how few words are red and how many are green. Seeing their ability laid out in a visual way really helps to increase confidence.Once the whole text is underlined, teachers can give students a limit of 5, 10 or 15 words, depending on the length of the text, and tell them they’re only allowed to look these words up in a dictionary. This helps them to recognize words that are actually getting in the way of their understanding of the text and words that they don’t know but actually don’t impact their whole understanding of the text.This is a useful activity that can be done with a printed text, in a Google Doc, on RealtimeBoard, or set as a homework task for some independent study.12. What do we know about Traffic Light Reading?A. It’s easy.B. It’s expensive.C. It’s difficultD. It’s useless.13.

The findings, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, suggested the greatest benefit was in those eating them on their daily diet.Eating nuts was linked to a healthier lifestyle including being less likely to smoke or be overweight and more likely to exercise. The British Heart Foundation said more research was needed to prove the link, “While this is an interesting link, we need further research to make sure if it's the nuts that protect heart health, or other sides of people’s lifestyle .”The study followed nearly 120,000 people for 30 years. The more regularly people ate nuts, the less likely they were to die during the study. People eating nuts once a week were 11% less likely to have died during the study than those who never ate nuts.

But what is their most common response to seeing them again? It may seem strange，but most of the time they break down in tears.Now a group of psychologists (心理学家) from Yale University say they have found the reason why，and that crying tears of joy may well be the body’s way of keeping emotional(情感的) balance. “They seem to take place when people are overtaken by strong positive emotions，and people who do this seem to recover better from those strong emotions，” Oriana Aragon，the lead researcher said.Aragon and her fellow psychologists looked at hundreds of participants’ emotional responses to different things，including happy reunions and cute babies. Many participants said they would react in a negative or aggressive way to the positive things—to cry at happy moments and want to pinch(捏) a cute baby’s face or even tell them “I want to eat you up!” But then researchers found that these people were abl e to calm down from strong emotions more quickly.There are many other examples of times when people respond to a positive experience with a negative emotional reaction. At an exciting concert, fans scream at their idols(偶像). People who have just had a big lottery win are oftenin floods of tears. “These findings advance our understanding of how people express and control their emotions, which is importantly related to mental and physical health, the quality of relationships with others, and even how well p eople work together.” said Aragon.32.
