11．When someone has deeply hurt you，it can be very difficult to let your anger go off．But forgiveness （原諒） can be surprisingly （81）helpful （help） to your physical and mental health （身心健康）．In fact，research（82）shows/has shown（show） that people who forgive can have more energy，eat better and sleep better，"People who forgive show （83）less （little） anger and more hopefulness．"says Dr．Fredic，who wrote the book Forgive for Good．So it can help save on the damage to our feelings and allow people （84）to feel （feel） better．So when someone has hurt you，cool down first．Think of something that gives you happiness．Next keep in mind that trying to see （85）something （thing） from the other person's opinion is good for you．

10．Meals in China are different in some ways from those in the West．Here are some tips for you when you （61）visit（訪問）China．
Chinese meals are usually served at certain times．（62）Breakfast（早餐）is usually served around 7：00 am，lunch，12：00，dinner，7：00 pm．If you（63）miss（錯過） the time，maybe nothing will be left to eat．When a new dish is served，guests are asked to eat it first．（64）Chopsticks（筷子） are used in China．Soup（65）is drunk（喝） 1with a spoon or sometimes Chinese people bring the bowl of soup to the mouth and drink （66 ）directly（直接地） without using a spoon but it is sometimes considered rude．The host tries to fill （67）more（更多的）food or drink for guests because they are afraid that the guests can't have enough．If the guests have had enough，he can say，"No thanks．It was delicious，I'm full．"If the guests don't like the food，they can wave（68）their（他們的）hands and say．"I'm sorry，but I can't eat this．"

9．Young people are perhaps better-known for spending money than saving it．But some new banking websites are seeking to change that．These websites offer young people the information and tools they need to watch over their money．The websites also let the users share their financial*experiences with other young people．
Nineteen-year-old Alix Scott has been working at a store this summer．She is saving money to pay for college next year．"I have to save for all my college money because my parents can't offer me enough．So，I have to depend on my own savings，"She said．But instead of putting her money in a local bank，Ms Scott began using SmartyPig，a web-based banking service．She said，"When I do that，I stop the drive to just spend the money．"
Michael Ferrari developed SmartyPig with a friend in 2007．SmartyPig is really all about helping people save for very specific financial goals．So that could be a wedding，a vacation，an I-phone．Mr．Ferrari says SmartyPig opened after he started a college savings account*for his new baby．He says that experience helped him realize the power of saving for a specific goal．Helping other savers pay attention to their goals is the idea behind his online company．
Michael Ferrari said，"For example，I'm saving up for a vacation．I want to save 5，000 dollars．I want to meet this goal in three years．SmartyPig will in fact help you know how much money you need to save every month．You don't have to move from your present bank．We'll actually go in and get those money on the day you refer to every month and we'll put them into your SmartyPig account，where they'll actually increase interest*，as well．"
Twenty-two-year-old Khang Nguyen is studying engineering in college．He likes being able to share his saving goals with his online community．He said，"I think it's actually a good thing that they are able to see it．Like，a group of my friends after they found out，you know，about what I do，they always come ask me for financial advice．"

8．Australia is a big country，but it has a population of only 20 million．Some families live on farms，hundreds of kilometres from a town or a city．Children from these families can't travel to school every day，so many of them use a special school：the Australian School of Air．
     There are twelve Schools of the Air in Australia and over 1，000 students use them．Students of the School of the Air haven't got lessons in classrooms with other students．They study at home on their own．The school of the Air covers all the same curriculum*as any other school in Australia，so students in the School of Air are not disadvantaged．The teachers at the School of the Air prepare lessons and send them to the students by post or email．The students have to work on these lessons for five or six hours a day，Monday to Friday．They send their work to the teachers once a week and discuss it by radio or over the Internet．They can also borrow books from the school library．The books arrive by post．
Once or twice a year，a teacher visits every student at home．The teacher spends a day with the students，helps them with their work and discusses problems．The teacher often has dinner with the family and stays a night at the student's house．And there are 3 or 4 annual*gatherings where the children travel to school to spend one week with their teachers and classmates．Teachers and students can also meet at the sports Carnival*．This takes place once a year on playing fields in Alice Springs．Students and their families can get together and take part in different kinds of activities．It is a great way for them to do sports together and make friends．No matter how far they live from the school，the annual sports day and graduation is attended by almost all the students．
48．Why is School of the Air welcomed in Australia？A

7．Are you shy？If you are，you are not alone．In fact，close to 50percent of people are shy．Almost 80percent of people feel shy at some point in their lives．These days，shyness is becoming more and more common．Now，scientists are trying to understand shyness．They have some interesting ideas about why people are shy．
Is it possible to be born shy？Many scientists say yes．They say 15to 20percent of babies behave shyly．These babies are a little quieter and more watchful than other babies．Interestingly，these shy babies usually have shy parents．As a result，scientists think  that some shyness is genetic．
Family size might cause people to be shy as well．Scientists at Harvard University studied shy children．They found that 66percent of them had older brothers and sisters．As a result，they became shy．At the same time，children with no brothers and sisters may be shy as well．Growing up alone，they often play by themselves．They are not able to learn the same social skills as children from  big families．
You may  also be shy because of where you were born．When scientists studied
shyness in different countries．They found surprising differences．In Japan，most people said they were shy．But in Israel，only one of three people said so．What explains the difference？One scientist says the Japanese and Israelis have different opinions of failure．In Japan，when people do not succeed，they feel bad about themselves．They blame（責(zé)備）themselves for their failure．In Israel，the opposite is true．Israelis often blame failure on outside reasons，such as family，teachers，friends，or bad luck．In Israel，freedom of opinion and risk taking are strongly supported．This may  be why Israelis worry less about failure and are less shy．
For shy people，it can be difficult to make friends，speak in class，and even get a good job．But scientists say you can get over your shyness．They suggest trying new things and practicing conversation．And don't forget---if you are shy，you are not the only one．
42．What can be learned from  the passage？C
A．Most little babies are born shy and quiet．
B．If you are shy now，you will be shy forever．
C．Many shy children have older brothers and sisters．
D．Most Israeli people are shy of expressing opinions．
43．We can learn from the passage thatBmay  cause shyness．
A．genetics，grown--ups and birthplace     
B．genetics，family size and birthplace
C．family size，grown--ups and failure      
D．genetics，family size and freedom
44．Scientists suggest that shy people can get over their shyness byB．
A．blaming their failure on outside reasons
B．trying new things and practicing conversation
C．getting themselves away from  their shy parents
D．trying to understand reasons for their shyness
45．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage？（P=Paragraph）A

6．What will teenagers do if they turn off mobile phones for a week？Mobile phones become part of today's teenagers'everyday lives．
A recent report found that British children aged 5 to 16 spend about 6.5 hours a day in front of screens，more than twice as much as they did 20 years ago．Many parents worry that it is bad for teenagers．"Young people lose themselves in their own world； they lose their confidence and communicate less．"A teacher from London said．?
So a group of 15-year-olds from London's Capital City Academy （CCA） took part in a project called Disconnect．They agreed to put away their mobile phones for a week．Many firstly worried about how they would fill their time，but they soon found that it was not a problem．It turned out that most students found the challenge less difficult than they expected．
"I've been away from games．I've  read more，"said Mark at the end of the week．Other students also found other offline activities to do：hanging out with family，playing sports or simply getting more sleep．Jason，the head teacher at CCA，thought the project had made his students"a little freer"，they have time to think more．
76．According to the survey，British kids aged 5to 16spent aboutA hours in front of screens 20years ago．

5．Do you know any people like these？They are part of a new addiction（癮）（51）called（call） Internet addiction．According to experts，Internet addicts（迷）spend at least thirty to forty hours online every week．They lose control（52）ofthe time they spend on the Internet．
For example，one college student was（53）missing（miss） for several days．His friends were worried and 1ooked for him everywhere but couldn't find him．They called the police．The police found the student in the computer lab：he was surfing the Internet-for seven days straight．
    A study shows that about six to ten percent of Internet （54）users（use）  become addicted．The teenager spend more time on the Internet than （55）with friends and family．That's why some experts worry most about young people．
Is"（56）surfing（surf）  the Internet"a hobby or all addiction for you？You may
have a problem if you have one of the following symptoms（癥狀）：
★You go out with your friends less and less．
★You can't wait to get online again．
★You've（57）decided（decide） to spend a short time online，but then you spend several hours．
★You do not go to important family（58）events（event） or you do not do school projects because you like to spend hours on the Internet．
What is the solution？Some experts suggest that people set（59）strict（strict） limits on their time for Internet use．You have to learn to control it，（60）orthe Internet would control you．

4．Feeling bored during the winter？Equip （裝備） your smart phone with some cool apps and have fun on the cold days．

3．Bob and Jackie joined a company together just after finishing high school．They both worked very hard．After several years，the boss made Jackie sales manager but Bob a salesman．One day Bob could not take it anymore．He handed in his resignation letter （辭職信） to the boss and complained that the boss did not value hard-working workers．
The boss knew that Bob didn't work hard for the company all these years，but in order to help Bob to realize the difference between him and Jackie，the boss asked Bob to do the following．

2．These days，the food that you buy comes from lots of different countries．When you go to the supermarket，you will see some kinds of fruits and vegetables you have never seen before．Have a look in your kitchen，fridge，cupboard and fruit bowl and check where the food comes from．Perhaps there are apples from California，lamb from New Zealand，or potatoes from Egypt．You will probably be surprised how far food travels to get to your plate．This journey，from field to plate，is called food miles．A food mile is the distance that food travels from the farmer's field to the person who buys the food．Nowadays，food often travels thousands of miles to get to the consumer（消費者）．Why is this，and what are the influences of these long distances？
Traditionally，farmers sold their food in the local market，so the food didn't have to travel very far．The consumers also did not travel very far because they went to their local market to buy the food．This was a good system for farmers and consumers．However，there were some disadvantages．For example，consumers could only buy food that farmers produced locally．In addition，they could only get food that was in season．Now，because of modern technology，food comes from all over the world．We do not have to wait for spring or summer to buy strawberries or tomatoes．They are available in winter if we want．
Some countries have to import（進口） most of their food．This is because they have difficult climates．The United Arab Emirates（UAE），for example，gets 85% of its food from other countries．Even food made in the UAE often uses imported materials．
What's wrong with food miles？Is this not a good way of increasing international trade？I believe these miles are worrying for a number of reasons．First of all，because food travels such long distances，we need more planes，trucks，and ships to move the food．This means we use more oil or gas，so there is more pollution and more global warming．In addition，food that travels a long way is not fresh and usually not very tasty．Tomatoes，for example，are picked early and stored for their long journeys．For this reason，they are usually tasteless when they get to the consumer．Local food has a better taste，and it also reduces（減少） the amount of global pollution．We need to buy more local food．
81．According to this passage，food miles meansC．
A．the origins of the food                 
B．the influences of longs distances

A．use imported food often                
B．increase international trade
C．travel long distances                   
D．buy more local food

C．Because of modern technology，it's easy to import food from all over the world

85．This passage is mainly talking aboutD．
A．how local food travels from field to your plate
