Having one of those days—or weeks—when everything seems to annoy you? Even if you do nothing about it, your bad mood(心情) will probably go away after some time. But with a little effort, you can forget it much faster—often within a day or two.
Walk it off
Exercise is the most popular bad­mood buster. A person who's in a bad mood has low energy and high tension. Taking a fast ten­minute walk, or doing some quick  exercises can do wonders towards changing the bad mood.
Tune it out
Listening to your favorite music for a while can also make tension go away quickly, because music starts connection with past positive experiences we've had.
Give yourself a pep talk
Stop and listen to what's on your mind. Bad moods are often started by too many negative thoughts. Write them all down on paper, the pessimistic(悲觀的) messages you've been giving yourself, and then give optimistic answers. (“I still don't have a job.” vs “I have two interviews next week.”)
Reduce your stress
Relaxation techniques are wonderful mood­lifters. These include deep breathing, stretching and visualizing, all of which sound complicated(復雜的) but aren't. One easy way to visualize: close your eyes and picture a favorite place, such as the beach. Another simple way to distress is to make a to­do list. One reason for being in a bad mood is feeling you have no options. By taking control over certain areas,  you realize you're not helpless. You can make changes in your mood and life.
Avoid things that won't improve your mood
TV may not help much: you need to increase your energy level and stimulate(刺激) your mind—something that the TV show “Neighbors” won't do. And before you reach for that piece of cake and coffee, think about how mood and food are linked. Sugar and caffeine contribute to depressed moods. The better choice? Research shows that carbohydrates, such as potatoes and pasta(面食), produce calming effects in people who have a desire for them.
小題1:Which of the following may help us stop a bad mood?
A．Doing nothing about it.
B．Exercising and enjoying music.
C．Writing down negative thoughts.
D．Talking about it with neighbors.
小題2:Why is it suggested that you close your eyes and picture the beach?
A．It helps remove bad mood.
B．It brings us a new technique.
C．It is not complicated to do so.
D．It is an area to be easily controlled.
小題3:TV may not improve your mood because it ________.
A．shows what happens around you
B．does not energize you
C．reminds you of eating and drinking
D．produces a calming effect
小題4:Which would be the best title for this passage?
A．Energy Level and Stress
B．How to Beat a Bad Mood
C．Bad Mood and Our Life
D．How to Control Your Feeling

小題1:B
小題1:A
小題1:B
小題1:B

小題1:文章建議人們采取一些辦法驅走壞心情，排除A項。在第三個建議中可知把消極的想法寫下來并用積極的回答來消除，故只寫下是沒用的排除C項。文章最后一段TV和鄰居不能幫助，從第一、二兩個建議可知選B項。
小題1:　從第四個建議中可知通過一些放松技巧可以改善情緒，舉例是告訴人們怎樣放松。
小題1:　從最后一段第一句可知電視幫不上忙。
小題1:　全文可知從五個方面教人們怎樣改善情緒，將壞心情趕走。故選B項。

I've always loved pigeons(鴿子). Some years ago I managed to persuade my wife to let me buy a few and start   16  them myself. They cost a lot of money and so it spoilt(破壞) our 17 a bit, but my wife never actually stopped me so I  18  carried on. I learnt so much about them that I could  19 a good racer anywhere and I bought some beauties. My pigeons won some top races, and I even began to make a bit of   20 .
You see, people are prepared to pay big prices if they get to know that your pigeons are 21 big prizes.
My wife had been changing her  22  to the pigeons over the last year or two anyway. She was quite   23  of all the prizes we’d won. Then there was the travelling, which she liked. You see some one has to take the pigeons a  24  way off and set them free. Some of the   25  were really nice. I never travelled. I used to like to wait at home and see them come in. They’ve got this wonderful sense of  26 , which can bring them back home so quickly. They’d flown hundreds of miles sometimes   27  storms or against strong winds. And there they’d come, tiny white birds against the great   28 . Then I'd watch them  29  round and come down onto the landing shelf. I'd look at my watch and think, “My goodness, that’s a good  30 . ”And I'd take off the little leg ring and push it through the machine to  31  what time he’d arrived. Then my wife would  32 up and say, “Has he arrived yet?” Then we would work out if we’d won   33 .
Then last year we had a   34 ! All of them got some sort of flu and  35 . It was terrible. I had to burn them all. We lost a fortune, of course.

Everyone in business has been told that success is all about attracting and retaining (留住) customers. It sounds simple and achievable. But,     , words of wisdom are soon forgotten. Once companies have attracted customers they often   
  the second half of the story. In the excitement of beating off the competition, negotiating prices, securing orders, and delivering the product, managers tend to become carried away. They forget what they regard as the boring side of business— 
      that the customer remains a customer.
    to concentrate on retaining as well as attracting customers costs business huge amounts of money annually. It has been estimated that the average company loses between 10 and 30 per cent of its customers every years. In constantly changing     , this is not surprising. What is surprising is the fact that few companies have any idea how many customers they have lost.
Only now are organizations beginning to wake up to those lost opportunities and calculate the     
implications. Cutting down the number of customers a company loses can make a big   
  in its performance. Research in the US found that a five per cent decrease in the number of defecting (流失的) customers led to      increases of between 25 and 85 per cent.
In the US, Domino’s Pizza estimates that a regular customer is worth more than $5,000 over ten years. A customer who receives a poor quality product or service on their first visit and      never returns, is losing the company thousands of dollars in   
  profits (more if you consider how many people they are likely to tell about their bad experience).
The logic behind cultivating customer      is impossible to deny. “In practice most companies’ marketing effort is focused on getting customers, with little attention paid to      them”, says Adrian Payne of Cornfield University’ School of Management. “Research suggests that there is a close relationship between retaining customers and making profits.      customers tend to buy more, are predictable and usually cost less to service than new customers. Furthermore, they tend to be less price     , and may provide free word-of-mouth advertising. Retaining customers also makes it   
    for competitors to enter a market or increase their share of a market.

Experts do not really know when people began keeping fish as pets. But they say that people have been interested in fish for thousands of years. Some say the ancient Sumerians were the first civilization to keep fish in ponds more than four thousand years ago. The Chinese kept and studied carp and goldfish more than one thousand years ago. The ancient Romans kept eels as pets. And the Greek philosopher Aristotle made what is believed to be the first known study of sea life, including sharks and dolphins.
Keeping fish at home in small water tanks called aquariums is extremely popular today. And everyone seems to enjoy visiting huge public aquariums that have opened around the world.
By the middle of the eighteen hundreds, science had shown that plants, fish and other sea creatures could survive together under water. So it was no longer necessary to change the water in a tank for the fish to live there. This led to the building of the first public aquariums.
The first aquariums opened in London, England in 1853. in the next fifteen years, other aquariums opened in Europe and the United States. By 1928, there were about forty-five public aquariums.
The Monterey Bay Aquarium has been recognized as the first aquarium in the United States and it shows visitors the underwater life in the bay. The Georgia Aquarium opening in 2005 says it is the largest in the world. It has more than one hundred thousand sea animals in thirty million liters of water including two whale sharks---the world’s largest fish.
Another aquarium re-opened in 2005 in Camden, New Jersey. The Adventure Aquarium first opened in 1992. It spent about fifty million dollars expanding its building and improving its exhibits.
Aquariums provide the public with many chances to experience life under the sea. They can be found in most areas of the world. People might even want to start an aquarium at home and join the millions of people around the world who keep fish as pets.
小題1:Which aquarium opened again after its rebuilding ?
A．The Monterey Bay Aquarium.B．The Adventure Aquarium.
C．The Georgia Aquarium.D．The first aquarium in London.
小題2:Which of the following is NOT mentioned to have kept fish as pets?
A．The ancient Sumerians.B．The ancient Romans.C．The Chinese.D．The ancient Indians.
小題3:Which of the following is correct?
A．People were not interested in fish until the middle of the eighteen hundreds.
B．The Moneterey Bay Aquarium is regarded as the best aquarium in America.
C．Plants, fish and other sea creatures could not survive together under sea.
D．People have to change the water in a tank frequently for the fish to live there.
小題4: The passage is written mainly       .
A．to tell people the importance of keeping fish as pets
B．to explain why people want to visit aquariums
C．to let people know the development of the aquariums
D．to describe different aquariums
小題5:What does the underlined word “aquariums” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Exhibition centres where people can watch and enjoy different species of fish.
B．Small boxes made of glass, where people keep fish in, usually at home.
C．Places which shows visitors the underwater life in the bay.
D．Places which provides the public with many chances to experience life under the sea.

Have you ever picked a job based on the fact that you were good at it but later found it made you feel very uncomfortable over time? When you select your career, there's a whole lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with a particular position. If you ignore your personality, it will hurt you long-term regardless of your skills or the job's pay. There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job. Here are a few of those main areas;
1) Do you prefer working alone or with other people?
There are isolating（使孤立）jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasy. Most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer. There are also positions that are sometimes a combination of the two, which may be best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation.
2) How do you handle change?
Most jobs these days have some elements of change to them, but some are more than others. If you need stability in your life, you may need a job where the changes don't happen so often. Other people would be bored of the same daily routine.
3) Do you enjoy working with computers？
I do see this as a kind of personality characteristic. There are people who are happy to spend more than 40 hours a week on a computer, while there are others who need a lot of human interaction throughout the day. Again, these are extremes and you'll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well.
4) What type of work environment do you enjoy？
This can range from being in a large building with a lot of people you won't know immediately to a smaller setting where you'll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly.
5) How do you like to get paid?
Some people are motivated by the pay they get, while others feel too stressed to be like that. The variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for this.
Anyway, these are a great starting point for you. I've seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love. It may take you a little longer, but making a move to do what you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better.
小題1:What is unnecessary in your job hunting?
A．Assessing your skillsB．Going to different areas
C．Matching your skills with a positionD．taking your personality into consideration
小題2: Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Isolating jobs usually drive people mad.B．Interactive jobs make people shy easily.
C．Extreme people tend to work with others.D．Almost everyone has a tendency in jobs.
小題3:What is the missing word about a job search in the following chart?
A．Design.B．Changes.C．Cooperation.D．Hobbies.

A．Lifestyles and Job PayB．Jobs and Environment

Well, when the huge wave hit the boat, my safety belt broke and I was swept overboard. I don’t really understand how it happened, but it did. I heard someone yell out, but then my boat, Wild One, went off into the darkness and I was alone in a very rough sea. I then spent five and a half hours in the water. The place where it happened was, oh, about 50 kilometers from shore. It was likely that I wouldn’t see another day, but I always thought I’d overcome the difficulties. At first I was watching out for Wild One. The rest of the crew knew I was gone, so they were sure to come back and look for me. After a while, I saw the boat’s lights when it came looking for me. They were within about 300 meters of me, but the spotlight just missed me. The reason why they didn’t see me was because of the huge waves. You know, I started sailing when I was seven, and started ocean racing when I was about eighteen, but I’d never been overboard before. I believed I was going to survive, but it was very cold, and as the hours passed I started to get desperate——and frozen! It was around 5 am when I saw the lights of a tanker coming towards me. I figured it was probably my last chance. At first, I thought they were going to miss me, and then they made a slight turn and I yelled out “Help!” and they heard me. Then another yacht appeared. These guys were terrific. They gave me dry clothes, and then one jumped into the bunk and hung onto me. They covered us with as much dry clothing as they could, and the guy in with me stayed to transfer his body heat to me.
小題1:The author of the passage was alone in the sea NOT because ______.
A．the wind was too strongB．the wave hit the boat
C．the safety belt was brokenD．his boat was in the darkness
小題2:He was not saved by his crew because ______.
A．he didn’t yell out “Help!”B．300 meters was long distance
C．he was not foundD．he didn’t see the spotlight
小題3:It was inferred from the passage that ______.
A．he was swept overboard at about midnight
B．Wild One was the name of a crew member
C．he started ocean racing at about seven
D．he was too hopeless to take the last chance
小題4: One of the guys who saved him jumped into the bunk in order to ______.
A．cover him with more dry clothes
B．warm him with his body heat
C．comfort him
D．congratulate him

To be able to motivate oneself, or self-motivate, occurs when a person has the willingness to do something and is internally(內在地) motivated to do it．
Sometimes it’s very difficult to get ourselves moving．The natural tendency is to postpone．Life just seems to get in the way! There is a job to go to, groceries to do, television to watch—whoops! I guess we get pretty good at finding excuses to escape getting started on goals like an exercise routine or reading a new book．The fact is that we are creatures of routine and habit．So what can we do to motivate ourselves to accomplish our goals? 
Here are some tips on how to get moving:
Decide what you want．It’s hard to motivate an aimless mind．Set a goal and decide how you are going to go about it．Then break it down into smaller sections so it’s easier to handle and less overwhelming．（勢不可擋）
Keep track of your progress．Keep a log or journal where you can measure how much you have accomplished．Looking at it can also motivate you to keep pushing ahead．
Post motivating pictures or slogans within your sight．It is always inspiring to see pictures of people who have accomplished what you’re going for．It makes it attainable and realistic．Likewise, little slogans like “go for it” or “just do it” can give you the little support you need．    
Sometimes we forget what we set out to do and a little reminder is all we need to be revitalized (激活) and focus on the end result．If you remind yourself to go for the desired promotion, it will re-establish why you are doing what you’re doing．
Make it a habit．Once you have accomplished your objective, e．g．becoming an early riser, keep it up so that it’s second nature to you and you don’t have to think about it anymore．
小題1:According to the author, some people fail to achieve their goals because ________．
A．they don’t have enough desire
B．their life is filled with routine work
C．they benefit from the force of habit
D．they naturally put off forming new habits
小題2:It can be inferred from the underlined sentence that ________．
A．self-motivation needs repeated self-reminding of one’s goal
B．in modern society people tend to become forgetful
C．when we forget our goal, our life becomes meaningless
D．we can achieve our goal only by focusing on the end result
小題3:To get moving on your goal, you can do the following EXCEPT ________．
A．keep a diary to clearly judge your distance to your goal
B．make self-improvement your second nature
C．forget your aim and revitalize yourself with slogans
D．support yourself by hanging inspiring pictures in your house
小題4:Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A．Set Goals in Your LifeB．Get Yourself Motivated
C．Get into Good HabitsD．Do Not Postpone
