19.Are you working on your typing skills to make you become a more efficient worker?That may be all for nothing as Intel believes that we will be able to manage our computers with our brains by 2020.
Intel and its research partners are studying how the brain acts when it thinks.For example,scientists have found that people's brains react in a similar way when they are asked to think of a bear.Through some equipment that can also find this sort of brain activity,Intel thinks that it will be able to read and translate this into an input system tanks to an implantable chip in the brain.
"We are trying to prove you can do interesting things with brain waves."Intel research scientist Dean Pomerleau told Computerworld."Eventually people may be willing to be more devoted to brain implants."Even if thinking about a bear isn't enough to show that you want to copy something,Intel still thinks that there is a future in suing your brain instead of the keyboard."If we can get to the point where we can find specific words,you could mentally type,"he added."You could compose characters or words by thinking about letters flashing on the screen."
While this may all sound impractical or even inconvenient for present time,Intel thinks that it's possible.
"I think human beings are very adaptive,"said Andrew Chien,vice president of research and director of future technologies research at the Intel Labs."If you had told people 20years ago that they would be carrying computers all the time,they would have said,‘I don't want that.'Now you can't get them to stop.There are a lot of things that have to be done first but I think implanting chips into human brains is possible."
Make good use of your mouse and keyboard set-up before they're old-fashioned.

64.What can be known about Intel from the passage?D
A.it is researching how our brains manage our computers.
B.it is working on how to improve people's typing skills.
C.It is finding how the brain reacts when it thinks of a bear.
D.It is studying the relation between what the brain thinks and how it acts.
65.From what Dean Pomerleau said,we can learn thatC.
A.brain implants are not accepted now
B.people have no interest in the research
C.mentally typing will probably be a real fact
D.new things need a long time to be accepted
66.What Andrew Chien said can prove thatD.
A.everything is possible in the world
B.man has great power to face difficulties
C.society is changing from time to time
D.man is very good at accepting new things
67.What does the last paragraph implay?B
A.Everything should be used to the full.
B.Mouses and keyboards won't exist in the future.
C.Our brains can take the place of computers.
D.Some new kinds of mouse and keyboard will appear.

"Do you want a trick,or do you want a treat?"My voice sounded more like a ghost.The (42)C  expression on the children's faces suggested everything.
"Treat!"They (43)D  picked a candy or two from my bucket,and ran to the (44)A  of their parents.

She stared at her feet and shook her head,"No."
"Yes,you are.You're Shirley Temple,the most beautiful girl in the world."
She looked up at me,and pulled her (48)C to the side.Seeing her deformed(變形的) face,my heart missed a beat.
"Well,I think you are beautiful,darling."I said gently.

7.Clean your ears,because airport security might soon be scanning them.According to a recent discovery,the shape of ears could provide a reliable new way of identifying people at airports.
Researchers discovered that ears of each person have a unique shape and they have created a system that can scan them.The ear scanning technique uses a technology called image ray transform that highlights all the tubular structures (結構) of the ear and measures them.Professor Mark Nixon,a computer scientist who led the team from the University of Southampton,believes ear scanning could take place as passengers walk through security gates,for example,by placing cameras on either side to record an image of their ears.Comparing the results against a database of ear shapes,the new system could help airport security workers instantly identify passengers.
Nixon and his team tested 252 images of different ears and found the system was able to match each ear to a separate image held in its database with 99 percent accuracy.
Besides ear scanning,there have been other systems developed for identity recognition.
"With facial recognition,the systems are often confused by crows feet (魚尾紋) and other signs of ageing,"Nixon said."Your ears,however,age very gracefully.They grow proportionally (按比例) and your lobe (耳垂) gets a bit larger,but otherwise your ears are fully formed from birth."What's more,facial recognition software is often confused by changes in expression so people need to control their faces and in some cases even avoid wearing make-up.
An ear scan system would also offer a less invasive alternative to retina (視網膜) scanning,which requires passengers to stare at scanners from a close range.
Fingertip detection has long been the most effective way of identifying someone.Nixon expects there to be a combination of different techniques that can be used at the same time to identify a person."
56.The ear scanning system would help to find outC
A.where you come from                          
B.whether you are healthy
C.who you are                                                       
D.who shares your ear shape
57.The article does not sayD.
A.who developed the system                            
B.how the system works
C.where the system can be applied                
D.how long the system took to develop
58.Ear scanning would work better than facial recognition mainly becauseB
A.the ear scanning system is computerized 
B.ears change less with age than faces
C.facial expressions are often the same                 
D.facial appearances aren't unique
59.The underlined word"invasive"in the last but one paragraph possibly means"D".
A.comfortable          
B.expensive                 
C.disappointing                 
D.annoying
60.Nixon has developed the ear scanning system while there's already the fingertip detection becauseC.
A.ear scanning can be used at airports                  
B.fingertip detection is not so convenient
C.he doesn't think one system is enough      
D.ear shapes are easier to read than fingerprints.

14.Promotion at work can be good for the pocket.However,it can also be very risky for a person's mental health,according to British researchers from the University of Warwick in Coventry.
The new findings go strongly against the common belief that advancement in a career can result in better health because of an increased sense of self-confidence,life control and overall well-being(幸福感)."Getting a promotion at work is not as great as many people may think.Our research finds that the mental health of managers typically deteriorates after a job promotion and goes beyond merely a short-term change in a way,"said Chris Boyce,the researcher of the University of Warwick.He also added that they could not find any health benefits in individuals who had had job promotions.Instead,these people don't go to hospital to have health checks as often as they should,which may be something to worry about rather than celebrate.
To find out whether there is a connection between job advancement and physical health,Boyce and his team used data from the British Household Panel Survey.The data contained information on nearly 1,000 recently promoted individuals in the United Kingdom.And the data contained information on many aspects of life,including work and self-reported health.After analyzing all the available information,they discovered that there was no evidence of improved physical health after a job promotion.
However,what the researchers did find was evidence of greater mental stress.The experts found that promotion gives people,on average,10 percent more mental stress and up to 20 percent less time to visit their doctors in the event of illness.Matt Smith,a Scottish health expert,said mental stress is caused by working long hours.He said,"When someone is promoted there might be even more pressure to work longer hours and therefore they can't afford the time to care about their health."
63.According to the text we can learn that work promotionD.
A.is traditionally believed to be harmful to people's health
B.decreases people's self-confidence and happiness
C.gives people more chances to have health checks
D.can help raise people's income to some extent
64.The underlined word"deteriorates"in the second paragraph means"becomesD".
A.satisfying     B.doubtful      C.optimistic    D.worse
65.What do we know from Boyce's research?A
A.It analyzed many aspects of the promoted individuals'lives.
B.It surveyed 1,000 people in the world.
C.It showed how people gained work promotion.
D.It proved that work promotion may lead to a short-term change in health.
66.From the last paragragh we can learn thatA.
A.people who are promoted suffer from increased mental stress
B.the work after promotion will take up 20 percent of people's leisure time
C.promoted individuals tend to pay more attention to their health
D.poor health condition makes promoted individuals feel stressed
67.What is the best title for this text?B
A.Work Promotion Helps Increase Self-Confidence
B.Work Promotion Is Actually Bad for One's Health
C.Work Promotion Means Having to Work Harder
D.Work Promotion Brings Wealth and Health.

4.From a very early age,some children exhibit better self-control than others.Now,a new study that began with about 1,000children in New Zealand has tracked how a child's low self-control can predict poor health,money troubles and even a criminal record in their adult years.
Researchers have been studying this group of children for decades now.They observed the level of self-control the youngsters displayed.Parents,teachers,even the kids themselves,scored the youngsters on measures like"acting before thinking"and"Persistence in reaching goals."
The study led by Moffitt of Duke University and colleagues followed  1,000children from birth to age 32in Dunedin,New Zealand.
"The children who had the lowest self-control when they were age three to ten,later on had the most health problems in their 30s,"Moffitt said,"and they had the worst financial situation.They were more likely to have a criminal record and to be raising a child as a single parent on a very low income."Moffitt explained that self-control problems were widely observed,and weren't just a feature of a small group of misbehaving kids.
Moffitt said it's still unclear why some children have better self-control than others,though she said other researchers have found that it's mostly a learned behavior,with relatively little genetic influence.But good self-control can be set to run in families because children with good self-control are more likely to grow up to be healthy and prosperous parents.But the good news,Moffitt said,is that self-control can be taught by parents,and through school curricula that have been shown to be effective.

66.From the first two paragraphs we learn thatB.
A.the research has been carried out for five years
B.self-control in kids tends to determine their future
C.self-control was assessed by children's intelligence
D.children's self-control is almost the same at early age
67.Children with low self-control are more likely toD.
A.become wealthy in later life    
B.get good school performance
C.have better financial planning  
D.adopt negative behaviors
68.According to Moffitt,D.
A.only good genetic factors can shape their lives in the future
B.scientists know well why some children have better self-control
C.self-control in childhood has nothing to do with criminal activity
D.willpower as a child really influences people's chances of adulthood
69.What can be inferred from the passage?D
A.Self-control cannot be taught in schools.
B.The study is restricted within few participants.
C.It's never too late to deal with self-control problems.
D.Good parenting can improve self-control and life success.
70.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A
A.Child's self-control predicts future health,success
B.Kids are encouraged to take risks at an early age
C.Children's development cannot be changed by teachers

11.What is the single largest cause of sick leave in the UK?The answer is not the common cold or flu,but back pain.Back pain affects one in three British adults,cost the country over£5 billion every year and is obviously difficult to treat.
But now Britain's National Health Service (NHS) will be offering a new solution:acupuncture (針灸法).
The ancient Chinese needle therapy has been around in the UK for many years,but for the first time it has been officially supported by the NHS'advisory body,the National Institute for Clinic Excellence (NICE).
Traditionally,doctors in the UK have advised back pain sufferers to stay active,do stretching exercises and take painkillers when necessary.In more serious cases some people are given X-rays treatment or injections with therapeutic substances.
NICE,however,says there is evidence that acupuncture may be more effective than expensive X-rays or injections,to patients who have been suffering for over six weeks should be given acupuncture treatments.
As an alternative to acupuncture,patients will be able to choose either a course of spinal manipulation (脊柱推拿) or a series of special sessions.
In the UK,acupuncture is classified as a complementary (輔助的) therapy,which is the term given to a medical procedure which hasn't been subjected to the strict trials by which scientists prove some treatment work.
While many experts have welcomed the move to make acupuncture available on the NHS,some are still skeptical about its effectiveness.
Research from the US earlier this month found that simulated acupuncture using toothpicks which do not pierce the skin could be as good as using real needles.
So while some are yet to be convinced,back pain sufferers will be hoping that acupuncture helps them feel healthy and mobile again.Employers,on the other hand,will be hoping it gets them back to work.
64.What can be the best title for the passage?A
A.Acupuncture m the UK
B.The largest cause of sick leave.
C.The ancient Chinese medicine
D.Different ways to treat back pain.
65.According to NICE,which of the following ways is more effective to treat back pain?B
A.To take painkillers                                                 
B.To use the Chinese needle therapy
C.To take X-ray treatment or injections
D.To stay active and do stretching exercises
66.Which of the following statements about acupuncture is TRUE?C
A.Doctors can use needles or toothpicks to perform acupuncture.
B.Patients taking acupuncture have to take a course of spinal manipulation.
C.Patients suffering back pain for a long time are more advised to use acupuncture.
D.Acupuncture costs less money and has lower effects than X-rays or injections
67.Why is acupuncture classified as a complementary therapy in the UK?D
A.It is not strict in the treatment
B.Some British don't have trust in it
C.The main British treatment is very effective
D.Its medical procedure hasn't been strictly tested scientifically.

8.Why is setting goals important?(71)E Instead of just letting life happen to you,goals allow you to make your life happen.
Successful people imagine how their life should be and set lots of goals.(72)F It's like having a map to show you where you want to go.Think of in this way.There are two drivers.One has a destination in mind which can be found in a map.She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns.The other driver has no goal or destination or map.She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver.But she drivers aimlessly around.Never getting anywhere,just using up gas.Which driver do you want to e?
(73)BThey decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals.Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident.Goals aren't difficult to set,and they aren't difficult to reach.(74)CYou are the one who must decide what to achieve and in what direction to aim your life.
(75)AWritten goals can be reviewed regularly,and have more power.Like a contract with yourself,they are harder to neglect or forget.Also when you write your goals in a particular way you are able to make yourself continuously aware of situations that will bring you nearer to your goal.
A.Research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more likely to achieve it.
B.Winners in life set goals and follow through.
