4.Public service advertising is designed to inform the public on issues that are frequently considered to be in the general best interests of the community at large.Typically,it reflects a political viewpoint,philosophical theory,religious concept or humanitarian notion(觀念).It is also commonly referred to as a public service announcement (PSA)or a community service announcement (CSA).The ads are usually broadcast on radio or television,buy may also appear in newspapers or magazines.They are common in industrialized counties throughout the world.
PSAs are commonly aimed at changing public attitudes by raising consciousness about particular issues.Health,conservation and safety themes are popular in many PSAs.The public service advertising campaigns are often sponsored by trade associations,civic organizations,non-profit institutions or religious groups.

12.Something I enjoy doing most in my leisure time is going to the cinema to watch a great film.It's two hours of relaxation and escapism from real life.But when I kick back in my seat to enjoy the film and tuck into my box of popcorn,I'm often irritated by seeing someone next to me texting on their mobile phone or worse still,talking to someone.
It's no surprise that a proposal by a US cinema chain to let people use their phones during some film screenings was met with such anger,that the company had to withdraw the idea.People said it was'the worst idea ever'!Surely,going to watch the latest film is just that-watching not multi-screening.And if you're out with a friend it seems very antisocial or just rude.I certainly get distracted by the click-click on someone's mobile keyboard as they text and the glow of the bright small phone screen-why aren't they concentrating on the big screen?!
But with the availability of streaming films at home and cheap DVDs,cinemas are struggling to keep their customers.Some places now offer comfortable seats with complimentary snacks and drinks so maybe trying to attract a younger audience by allowing the use of mobile phones is the way forward?A survey in 2012found that a majority of 18-to-34-year-olds believed using social media while watching a movie would add to their experience.
However,not every young person wants to multi-task at the movies.Many of us still get annoyed by the theatre staff who appear not to do anything about it.Of course,we could ask the offenders to turn their phones off but as Adam Aron,head of AMC Entertainment,said in Variety magazine,6/when you tell a 22-year-old to turn off the phone,don't ruin the movie,they hear'please cut off your left arm above the elbow'."Clearly this is not what I would like to see but if you want to use your mobile phone in the cinema that I'm at,please don't sit next to me!What do you think is the right thing to do?

28.The underline word"irritated"in Paragraph 1meansC.
A.terrified        
B.depressed          
C.a(chǎn)nnoyed         
D.embarrassed
29.Which of the following is True of the US cinema chain's original advice?B

C.The advice was very popular with people.
D.They prohibited people to use the phone.

A.Young people use their social media frequently.
B.The cinema needn't worry about their customers.
C.People prefer to watch films and DVD at home.

9.Imagine there is a glass of water on a table in front of you.It has water in it but it is not full.How do you describe the glass?Do you say it is half full or half empty?
If you say half full,you might be an optimist.If you say half empty,you might be the opposite-a pessimist.
Optimism and pessimism represent your general attitude toward certain situations or life in general.And your attitude toward life may be more important than you think.
A new study suggests that your level of optimism may affect your health.People who are optimistic may live longer than those who are pessimistic.
Researchers at Harvard University's School of Public Health in Boston did the study.They compared women with"a general expectation that good things will happen"to women who were less optimistic.They found that the optimists had a much lower risk of getting several deadly diseases,including cancer,heart disease,stroke,respiratory disease and certain types of infection.
The researchers published their findings in the American Journal of Epidemiology.Epidemiology is the study of how diseases spread and how they can be controlled.
Eric Kim is one of the study leaders.He says there is increasing evidence that strengthening psychological resilience may help prevent disease.With it,it's easier to recover from difficulty or change.Kim says that these new findings suggest that people should make efforts to increase their resilience and optimism.
He says optimism is connected with healthier behaviors and healthier ways of dealing with difficulty.Optimists tend to take better care of themselves by exercising,eating healthy foods and getting enough sleep.
However,the researchers say that healthy behaviors of optimistic people only partly explain the connection with reduced risk of disease.

29.A person who sees a glass of water half full tends toC.
A.have a risk of getting most deadly diseases             
B.meet more good things that she or he has never imagined
C.take positive attitudes to situations and life             
D.like solving any difficulties by taking enough exercise
30.What does the underlined word"resilience"in Paragraph 7 probably mean?D
A.A state of relaxation.
B.A result of optimistic attitude.
C.A way to deal with people.
D.An ability of adaptation.
31.What can be the best title of this passage?B
A.How to Increase Optimism with Simple Methods
B.Looking on the Bright Side Might Help You Live Longer
C.The Study of How Diseases Spread and How to Be Controlled
D.Different Attitudes,Different Results of an Optimist and a Pessimist.
