30 When we are not engaged in thinking about some definite problem, we usually spend about 95 percent of our time thinking about ourselves. Now, if we stop thinking about ourselves for a while and begin to think of other persons' good points, things will be quite different.

One of the most neglected virtues is appreciation. Somehow, we neglect to praise our son or daughter when he or she brings home a good report card, and we fail to encourage our children when they first succeed in baking a cake or building a birdhouse. Nothing pleases children more than this kind of parental interest and approval.

The next time you enjoy delicious food at a restaurant, send word to the cook that it was excellently prepared, and when a tired salesperson shows you unusual politeness, please mention it.

Every minister, lecturer and public speaker knows the discouragement of pouring himself or herself out to an audience and not receiving any appreciative comment. What applies to professionals applies doubly to workers in offices, shops and factories and our families and friends. In our interpersonal relations we should never forget that all our associates are human beings and hunger for appreciation. It is the legal tender that all souls enjoy.

Try to be friendly and appreciate in your daily life, and you will be surprised how that will change your life and the world.

35 Filling in company application forms can become a boring and repetitive task, yet any carelessness on an applicant' s part can draw a negative reaction from readers. Each company or organization usually uses its own specially designed form that, although it generally asks for the same basic information, may vary in detail. Consequently the suggestions below apply mainly to the approach you should take rather than suggest what you should write. —When visiting future employers, always carry your personal data record with you so that you can readily search for details such as dates, telephone numbers, and other useful information. —Treat every application form as though it is the first one you are completing. Write carefully and neatly. —Use words that describe the responsibility and different aspects of each job you have held rather than list only the duties you performed. —Particularly describe social activities that show your involvement in the community, or activities in which you held a teaching or coaching role. —Pay particular attention if there is a section on the form that asks you to comment on how your education and past experience have especially prepared you for the position. —Think this through very carefully before you write so that what you say shows a natural progression from past experience to the job you are applying for. If you can, and if they fit naturally, add a few words to demonstrate how the position fits your overall career plan.

36 The first sentence of the passage means that______.

（A）you may have to fill in a long application form

（B）the filling-in of an application form takes much time

40 Industrial robots are already working in many factories around the world and in our homes, for instance as smart vacuum cleaners. Scientists say in a few years we will start seeing so-called " social robots," capable of engaging with people.

Today' s robots can build cars and explore underwater objects. But interacting with people is more complex than simply taking an incoming message, says Massachusetts Institute of Technology researcher Cynthia Breazeal.

" Social robots really interact with people in ways you feel like you' re interacting with someone rather than something," she said. "And social robots are really designed to engage you in much more of an interaction that feels like a cooperation or partnership. " At the Naval Research Laboratory, near Washington, scientists are researching which features robots should have to be able to live with humans. Researcher Alan Schultz says social robots must be adapted to social situations.

" You know if you * re going to have robots out in the wild, so to speak, they have to obey our standards and they have to do things in the way we expect, so that we can move about our environment and not be interrupted by them or have to think hard about the fact that they' re around us, " he said.

Social robots do not necessarily have to have a human face. Steve Cousins, the CEO of Savioke Robotics in Cupertino, California, says their robot called Botlr is already being tested in a hotel, delivering small items to people.

"It's designed to be in human spaces and interact with people and around people," he said. "So it interacts with the front desk agent when they' re sending it somewhere. It interacts with people in the elevator as it' s going along. And, it interacts with people at the door when the delivery arrives. "

So far, social robots are limited to very simple tasks like relaying messages or taking family photos. But Cynthia Breazeal, who designed this one, says their abilities may be extended into many different areas.

41 What will social robots do according to the scientists?

（A）They will cooperate with people.

（B）They will clean the big house.

（C）They will explore underwater objects.

（D）They will build different kinds of cars.

42 Which of the following is true according to the passage?

（A）Social robots are more difficult to design.

（B）Industrial robots are more complicated to design.

（C）Social robots can be more useful than industrial robots.

（D）Industrial robots can do less than social robots.

43 It can be inferred from the passage that______.

（A）social robots only serve the people they like

（B）it' s better for social robots to work in a hotel

（C）it' s better for social robots to have a human face

（D）social robots will be under the control of human beings

44 What does the passage mainly talk about?

（A）The function of social robots.

（B）The use of industrial robots.

（C）The daily life of robots.

（D）The way of designing robots.

45 Which of the following best describes the writer' s tone in the passage?

（A）Critical.

（B）Prejudiced.

（C）Subjective.

（D）Objective.

45 What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, or red? If you do, you must be an optimist(乐观主义者), a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist(悲观主义者). At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colours preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings. They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favourite colour as we grow up—we are born with our preference. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.

Colours do influence our moods—there is no doubt about it. A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one: and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing.

A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides(自杀)than any other bridge in the area—until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell down sharply: perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.

Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active. It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.

46 The sentence "you would rather follow than lead" in paragraph 1 means that you would______.

（A）like to lead followers

（B）be afraid of following others

（C）be a member rather than a leader

（D）like to be a leader rather than a follower

47 If one enjoys life, one is sure to prefer______.

（A）red to yellow

（B）blue to orange

（C）blue to yellow

（D）red to grey

48 Which of the following statements is true?

（A）People' s preference of one colour to another is instinct.

（B）People' s preference of one colour to another is acquired as they grow up.

（C）Factory workers meet fewer accidents when their machines are painted grey. （D）More people happen to love brown because they saw it when they were born.

49 Those who committed suicide preferred the bridge over the Thames River to others because of its______.

（A）shape

（B）colour

（C）structure

（D）materials

50 The main idea of the passage is that______.

（A）colours affect people' s mood

（B）colours affect people' s character

（C）bright colours make people more active

（D）colours preference shows people's courage

50 Surfing(浏览)the Internet can be as addictive(上瘾的)as drugs, alcohol or gambling,

a researcher from University of Pittsburgh said last month.

In a study of almost 400 men and women in Canada, researchers found Internet addiction caused people to spend 40 hours or more a week online. Most of them often got involved in role-playing games or chat room discussion. One 17-year-old boy was so

addicted to the Internet activities that his parents had to admit him to a hospital for 10 days' treatment.

One woman was described by friends and family as a perfect wife and mother. She became so addicted to the Internet that she would not cook or clean and was neglecting her children and husband, because she was spending as much as 12 hours a day talking to people on the Internet. Finally her husband said," Choose me or the computer. " She divorced him.

Kimberly Young, an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Pittsburgh, found that 76 percent of the subjects(调查对象)in the study spend an average of 40 hours a week on the Internet.

Of 396 people who met Young' s criteria(标准)for addicted Internet users, 157 were men, 239 women. The men were younger with an average age of 29, the women average 43 years of age.

The largest group of addicted users of the Internet was people who were not working outside home, housewives, students and those who were disabled(残疾)or retired.

51 According to the researcher in the University of Pittsburgh, surfing the Internet can be highly______.

52 From the passage, we learn that the majority of addicted Internet users are______.

53 According to this research, people who are likely to become addicted Internet users are those who are______.

54 Kimberly Young found that 76 percent of the subjects in the study spend an average of ______a week on the Internet.

55 The writer' s attitude towards Internet surfing is______.

55 Many people wrongly believe that when they reach old age, their families will place them in nursing homes. They will be【C1】______in the hands of strangers for the rest of their life. Their【C2】______will visit them only occasionally, and more often, they will not have any【C3】______visitors. The truth is that this idea is【C4】

______unfortunate imaginary story. In fact, family members provide over 80 percent of the care【C5】______elderly people need.

Samuel Preston, a sociologist, studies【C6】______the American family is changing. He reports that by the time the average American couple reaches 40 years of age, they will have more parents【C7】______children.【C8】______, because people today live longer after an illness than people did years【C9】______, family members must provide long term care.

More psychologists have found that all caregivers share a common characteristic. They believe that they are the best people【C10】______the job. In other words, they feel that they could do the job better than anyone else. Social workers【C11】______caregivers to find out why they took on the responsibility of caring for an elderly relative. Many caregivers believe they have【C12】______to help their relatives. Some state that helping others【C13】______them feel more useful. Others hope that by helping

【C14】______now, they will deserve care when they become old and dependent. Caring for the elderly and【C15】______care of can be a mutually satisfying experience for everyone who might be involved.
