13．When people find out that I am a journalist，they often ask me：What do you think about the future of newspapers？
I tell them that I think the future of communications is moving online．People expect me to be fearful for the future of print．After all，in some people's minds I wouldn't be able to build a career in journalism if it all moves online．However，strangely enough，I'm actually comforted by the fact that online journalism is becoming usual．I am a blogger who has always been able to find a home for my writing online
Since I began writing blogs，I have become aware of how many people you can reach with online writing．Compare this to the newspapers circulation base，and you will have a strong reason for online journalism．
In her successful blog post titled The Job I have spent the last year learning is not the one I will have，author Jenny Surane states，"Print is an expensive product to love．And general managers，publishers and editors must now figure out a profitable way to get their news into readers'heads，"She goes on to state that people don't feel like picking up a newspaper now and would rather scroll（滾屏）through their Twitter feed，and get new from many different sources．
If print is dying，then a new form of communicating information is being born．The need for information has not died．If anything，it has increased．What has died，rather，is the way in which information is presented．
Now more than ever，in this age of information，there is a desire for stories on the same topic from different points of view．The printing industry can keep pace with the need of providing a variety of sources，if it chooses to．
Now more than ever，in this age of information，there is a desire for stories on the same topic from different points of view．The printing industry can keep pace with the need of providing a variety of sources，if it chooses to．
Is the future of print grim？Maybe．But is the future of journalism of communicating information to people，grim as well？Definitely not．

While you are travelling abroad，cultural mistakes are more serious than linguistic mistakes，which can lead to serious misunderstanding and even ill-feeling between individuals． （36）E
●Touching Someone
（37）A In Mediterranean countries，if yo u don't touch someone's arm when talking to them or if you don't greet them with kisses or a warm hug，you'11be considered cold．But backslap（拍背）someone who isn't a family member or a good friend in Korea，and you'll make them uncomfortable．In Thailand，the head is considered sacred-never even pat a child on the head．
●Talking Over Dinner
In some countries，like China，Japan and some African nations，the food's the thing，so don't start chatting about your day's adventures while everyone else is digging into dinner．
（38）G It's not because your group is unfriendly，but because meal times are for eating，not
talking．
●Removing Your Shoes or Not
Take off your shoes when arriving at the door of a London dinner party and the hostess will find you uncivilized，but fail to remove your shoes before entering a home in Asia，Hawaii，or the Pacific Islands and you'11be considered disrespectful．So，if you see a row of shoes at the door，start undoing your laces．（39）F
Once you are on the ground of a different country，remain highly sensitive to native behavior．（40）C And don't feel offended if something seems offensive-like queue jumping．
After all，this is a global village，and we are all very different．

A．Personal space varies as you travel the globe．    
B．Asians consider removing shoes impolite at home．    
C．Never be completely surprised by anything．    
D．The linguistic mistake means that someone is not fully expressing his idea．    
E．Look out for the following cultural mistakes and try to avoid them．
F．If not，keep the shoes on．

（38）B"Don't need it？Shut it off，"he suggests．
You use too many apps with GEO-locators．
Your smartphone GPS is convenient．（39）C Turning it off will cause those apps to only locate you when you're using them．
It's too hot or too cold where you are．
Cold affects your phone's battery so much that some people even use hand warmers to
wrap around their devices in winter．But before you look into moving to a warmer climate to
keep your phone happy，also watch out for warmer conditions．If you're overheating or have
your phone in your feather jacket，the added warmth could kill the battery，too．Just keep thin in

A．Recommended option is to switch your phone to airplane mode and try to connect to free WiFi if possible．
B．However，all expert says having that level turned on puts pressure on your battery．
C．But countless apps may enable"location finding"without asking you．
D．You have too many applications that send you alerts．
E．You'd better take good care of your smartphone．

7．One of the blue whales，the largest animal alive today，has been caught making an appropriately big journey through the South Pacific．The whale was first recorded near the Galapa gos Island，west of Costa Rica．Years later，that same whale was photographed off the coast of Chile in South America，a new study reports．The two places are separated by some 5，200 Kilometers （3，200miles），which means it swam farther than the distance between New York and Los Angeles．
Scientists reported the whale's mammothjourney on June 11 in"Marine Mammal Science"．
Blue whales are surprisingly difficult to study because they are found in all the world's oceans but live in deep waters．Moreover，the species nearly died out as a result of hunting a century ago．Populations are recovering thanks to the laws，but because there are so few of the animals，this speci es is still considered endangered．
To aid the species'recovery，scientists need to know more about where they travel，explains study leader Juan Pablo Torres-Florez．He is a whale researcher at Austral University of Chile in Valdivia．Understanding the whales'mi grations could help guide protection measures，he says．
In 1998，a group of scientists surveyed blue whales in the waters off islands known as the Gala pagos （Gah-LOP-ah-GOES） where they photographed the whales they saw．And，without hurting the animals，they also collected samples of some of the whales'meat which let them later look at the animals'DNA．A different group of scientists collected similar data from whales off the coast of Chile from 2002 to 2013．
To make the comparison job easier，scientists focus on the area around a whale's fin（鰭），which is on its back．"Comparing those patterns we are able to identify if a whale is the same one we saw in different places or if the same whale is sighted during different years in the same place，"he says．
One whale showed up in the Gala pagos on November 6，1998，among a group of nine animals．It appeared again in Chile on February 23，2006．The photographs and the DNA matched．The whale was nicknamed"Isabela，"a combination of Torres-Florez's daughter and the island near which it was sighted．The whale's journey was at least 5，200 kilometers（3，200miles）．That makes it the longest north-south journey ever recorded for a member of her species．
28．The underlined word"mammoth"is the nearest in meaning toB．
A．driven     B．huge     C．mysterious    D．natural
29．What do you know about the species of blue whale？C
A．They live in deep waters，so they can survive．
B．They have fins on the back so that they can be recognized．
C．They weren't protected effectively 100 years ago．
D．They were driven to the shallow sea and nearly died out．
30．The researchers have managed to get the species'DNAD．
A．form the whale named Isabela
B．by catching whale from the sea
C．to study which species it belongs to
D．using methods friendly to the whales
31．The study leader is Juan Pablo Torres-Florez，A．
A．who recorded the longest journey of blue whales
B．who got the whales'DNA in 1998
C．who first recognized blue whales'back fins
D．who uses the fingerprint to recognize blue whales．

8．A group of men and women are standing around in a circle．First，someone starts to laugh．Then a few more people begin to laugh．Soon，the whole group are laughing．They are not laughing because someone has said something funny．Instead，this group of people are practicing laughter therapy （療法）．
     When we laugh from being tickled （胳肢） or after hearing a joke，our bodies and minds feel good．Laughing is also contagious．When one person laughs，the people around him or her will soon start laughing，too．
     Laughter therapy has been used in hospitals since the 1970s．Dr Lee Berk of Loma University Medical Centre，California，has been studying laughter therapy since the late 1970s．In 1989，Berk studied the effects of laughter in 10 men．Five men watched an one-hour-long comedy （喜�。� while another five didn't．The research showed that the men who watched the comedy and laughed developed better immune systems （免疫系統(tǒng)） compared to those who did not．Similarly，those who laughed during their treatment recovered faster．In India，Dr Madan Kataria started a laughter club in 1995 to encourage good health．From then on，this form of therapy has spread around the world．There are now more than 5，000 laughter clubs worldwide．
     People in these groups may feel uncomfortable at first because they feel laughter is forced （被強(qiáng)迫的），but once they give in and fully enjoy the 45-minute activity，they feel comfortable．People who take part in laughter therapy prove what scientists have known for years-laughter is the best medicine．

25．What do people do during the laughter therapy？C
A．Tickle the doctor．
B．Tell each other jokes．
C．Try to laugh with others．
D．Form a circle and laugh at someone．

A．a(chǎn)ble to spread    B．a(chǎn)ble to feel    C．pleasant     D．dangerous
27．What does the third paragraph mainly talk about？A
A．The development of laughter therapy．
B．The development of laughter clubs．
C．The origin of laughter therapy．
D．The effects of laughter．
28．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？D
A．Laughter therapy has been used in hospitals for about 20 years．
B．Berk studied the effects of laughter in 10 healthy women．
C．People who take part in laughter therapy always fell comfortable．
D．Laughter therapy is becoming more widely used in the world．
