The phone rings. It’s a friend who wants to tell you his or her latest health problems. You hate to be impolite and cut your friend off, but what can you do? Stephanie Winston, author of Stephanie Winston’s Best Organizing Tips, offers his advice:
Don’t ask questions like “What’s new?” They give the information that you have time to talk. After “hello”, get right to the heart of the matter.
Time your calls wisely. If you make a call right before lunch or dinner, or at the end of the workday, people chat less.
Set a time limit. Start with, “Hi, I’ve only got a few minutes, but I wanted to talk to you about….” Or, “Gee, I’d love to talk more, but I only have a couple of minutes before I have to leave.”
Jump on a pause. Even the most talkative caller has to pause now and then. Quickly say, “It has been great talking with you.” Then end the conversation.
Forget niceties. Some people just don’t take a hint. Cut your caller off and say, “I’d like to talk to you longer, but I’m afraid I have no enough time. Good bye.” Then hang up.
Find “a partner in crime”. If nothing else works, ask someone in your home to help you. For example, one woman gives a sign to her husband, who shouts, “Jane, I think the roast chicken is burning.”
Avoid the phone completely. Use an answering machine to screen calls. If you have an important message for a chatterbox, leave the message when he or she isn’t in.
小題1:What’s the good time to make a call so that people can chat less?
A．After lunch or dinner.
B．In the middle of the workday.
C．Before lunch or dinner.
D．At the beginning of the workday.
小題2:“Finding a partner in crime” means ______.
A．finding someone to answer the call
B．getting right to the heart of the matter
C．telling the caller you are just cooking
D．a(chǎn)sking someone to help you end the call
小題3:What’s Winston’s advice about?
A．How to talk on the phone.
B．How to make calls wisely.
C．How to make a phone call.
D．How to keep phone calls short.

“Mind your own business．” we’re told．“Don’t talk about others behind their backs．”The problem with this advice is that，not only is it unrealistic，it’s also counterproductive(起反作用的)．
Common sense holds that gossip(流言蜚語)hurts people’s feelings and damages relationships．But recent research shows the opposite—that strong communities and relationships between people would be impossible without gossip．
Gossip is a way for people to let you know the limits of social behavior．“If you move into a community and your neighbor tells you how the former homeowner never dealt with his rubbish properly，his gossip is letting you in on something，”says Dr．Ralph Rosnow of Temple University．“Gossip says：these are the boundaries and you are crossing them．You’re not abiding by the rules and you’d better get back in line．” Seen this way，gossip is a way to communicate criticism(批評)without conflict(沖突)，giving you a chance to change your behavior without losing face．
On the other hand，what about ill-willed gossip，the kind that puts other people down? Gossip is hearing something we like about someone we don’t and，in nearly every country in the world，gossip magazines have huge numbers of readers．According to researchers，however，this kind of gossip also has a good side because it helps us put our own problems in perspective(正確地)．“If we read bad news about well-known people，or get the frightful details of our neighbors’ bad situation over a cup of coffee，our own problems begin to pale in comparison(對比)，”says Dr．Jack Levin of Northeastern University．
However，that doesn’t mean that gossip is necessarily a good thing，either．Researchers found that people who gossip a lot tend to feel like they’re under a lot of stress．This might be because while they’re busy talking about other people，they’re also busy thinking what other people are saying about them．
小題1:What is the purpose of the text?
A．To encourage us to spread gossip about others．
B．To prevent us from spreading gossip about others。
C．To make a comparison between good gossip and bad gossip．
D．To recognize certain positive functions of gossip．
小題2:According to the passage，people in general think that__________．
A．it’s a bad habit to gossip
B．nobody pays attention to gossip
C．not all the gossip you hear is worth believing
D．it’s necessary to have a nice gossip with a friend or neighbor
小題3:The underlined phrase “abiding by” in Paragraph 3 most probably means“________”．
A．makingB．breakingC．obeyingD．changing
小題4:It could be learned from the passage that__________.
A．people under much stress enjoy gossiping about others.
B．in a way gossip helps us deal with our own problems.
C．in fact most people tend to believe gossip.
D．the more there is gossip, the stronger relationships become between people.

Did you know that a new weblog is being created each second? Many of these bloggers are teenagers. While their parents wrote in a diary to express their emotions, or shared their interests by spending time with friends, teens are now using blogs instead. In fact, in the US, one in every five school-aged teens has a blog. Most of these are just chatter, some are funny or clever, but a few have become Internet success.
For example, Chloe Spencer’s blog ‘Neopets Fanatic’ gets around 300,000 hits per month. When Chloe was 15, she started the blog out of her strong liking for Neopets, a kind of pet website. One reason her blog has so many visitors is because she gives instructions and tips for the popular pet site.

Then there is Tavi Gevinson’s blog ‘Style Rookie’. It is said to get 1.5 million hits per month. Tavi, who started her blog when she was just 12, puts up her photos of her own clothes online as well as designers’ collections. Tavi’s blog has caught on because she knows a lot about style for someone so young, and she is not afraid to try out unusual clothes or see things in a different way.
Blogs like these are interesting, but they only become really popular after better-known websites link to them or they get noticed by the media(傳媒). For example, Tavi’s blog became an overnight(一夜之間) success after being written about in The New York Times. Popular blogs can even earn money, usually from advertisements that companies pay to put up on the bloggers’ sites.
So for some, blogging is just a recreation(消遣), but for others, it can become a source of income and even a full-time job!
小題1: Teens nowadays ________ than their parents did.
A．have more ways of communication
B．share their feelings more
C．write in diaries more often
D．make more friends
小題2: In line 4, the underlined word ‘chatter’ means talk about ________ topics.
A．funnyB．cleverC．seriousD．unimportant
小題3:Chloe Spencer and Tavi Gevinson are both ________.

C．interested in fashionD．keen on taking photos
小題4: From the passage we know that Chloe Spencer is a person who ________.
A．visits many websitesB．loves pets
C．is easy to get angryD．rarely gives opinions
小題5: According to paragraph 4, Tavi Gevinson’s blog ________.
A．is not well-known yet
B．is written every night
C．became popular very quickly
D．got a lot of money from advertising
小題6:The best title for the passage might be ________.

·Over 80% people go to work by car.
·25% car journeys are under two miles.

BUSES

Bus companies are using new buses: some run on new fuelswhich produce less pollution; some have easier access（通路）for disabled and old people. There are special traffic lanes (行車道)to make bus journeys easier. So do something to help solve the pollution problem----let the bus take you to work and your children to school.
TRAINS

We may know that there are four basic periods for human beings to pass through when you enter and live in another country. This process(變化過程) helps you deal with culture shock(文化沖擊).
Culture shock begins with the "honeymoon period". This is the time when you first arrive in a place where everything about the new cu1ture is strange and exciting. You see new things, hear new sounds and language, eat new kinds of food. This period can last for quite a long time because you feel very happy.
Unluckily, the second period can be more difficu1t.  After you have got used to your new life, you can become very tired and begin to miss your motherland, your family, your friends, your pets and so on. Al1 the little prob1ems in life seem to be much bigger and more worrying when you face them in a foreign country. This period can be very difficult and lead to moving backwards quickly.
The third period is called the "adjustment(調整) period". This is When you begin to realize that things are not so bad in the new country. Your sense of humor usually becomes stronger and you realize you are becoming stronger by 1earning to take care of yourself in the new place. Things are still difficult, but you are now a survivor(善于求生者).
The fourth period can be cal1ed "at ease at last". Now you feel quite comfortable in your new place. You can deal with most problems that you have. You may still have prob1ems with language,but you know you are strong enough to deal with them. At this time, you may feel a little uncomfortable if you go back to your motherland.
小題1:According to the passage, culture shock usually happens when you
A．get married to a foreignerB．live in a big city
C．go to live in a foreign countryD．meet foreigners in your motherland
小題2:During the first period of the process, you feel

C．a(chǎn)ngry but strongD．easy but uncomfortable
小題3:You will find that you are a survivor in

C．the 3rd periodD．the 4th period
小題4:The fourth period can be regarded as a period of being
A．relaxingB．worryingC．tiringD．a(chǎn)djustable
小題5:We can conclude(lgth$it) from the passage that
A．Living in another country is fun
B．it's boring to live in another country
C．knowing about culture shock is hard
D．it's not easy to dea1 with culture shock
