     Winter's short days are more than cold. For many people, winter depression, the most common type
of Seasonal Affective Disorder(SAD), is as much a part of the reason as hats and scarves (圍巾).
     Winter serious SAD sufferers may need medical treatment. Those feeling a little blue can help themselves
by sticking to a healthy lifestyle. Here are some tips:
     Pace yourself. Don't expect to do everything you normally can. Set a realistic schedule. Don't listen to
negative thinking, like blaming yourself or expecting to fail.
     Get involved in activities that make you feel good or feel like you've achieved something. For example,
play table tennis or badminton.
     If you are feeling depressed, you may feel like staying away from friends. Yet this is a time when a
friend's support can be helpful. Call them regularly. Remember, the more we put off calling or visiting a
friend, the harder it is to rebuild a friendship.
     Think clearly about what's wrong or right. Instead of giving in to vague feelings of sadness, look at
your problems objectively. Break down problems into specific issues that you can work on.
    Regular exercise helps to prevent and ease depression.
    Eat well. Studies show that a healthy diet can help to maintain(keep) a healthy body and mind. The
vitamins, minerals and micro-nutrients found in a balanced diet may help our bodies to produce feel-good
hormones (荷爾蒙).Foods containing chemicals to help produce feel-good hormones include bananas,
turkey, nuts and seeds. Eat at least five pieces of fruit and vegetables every day. P.S.Symptoms (癥狀)
of SAD: No interests or pleasure in things you used to enjoy Increased need for sleep A change in eating
habits, especially an appetite for sweet or starchy (含淀粉的) foods Weight gain A heavy feeling in the
arms or legs A drop in energy level Difficulty in concentrating Overly emotional Avoidance of friends and
social situations Frequent feelings of guilt Long-term feelings of hopelessness, and physical problems, such
as headaches
1.The writer of the passage agrees that ______.

四、閱讀理解
There’s a box of chocolates in the fridge. It’s been there for more than a week since I was given it as a present. I do love chocolates, but they make me fat if I eat too many! Can I control myself? If I eat one, will I have to eat all of them?
My son Harry is obsessed with playing Wii(/wi:/, 任天堂的一款游戲機) games. Sometimes, it’s difficult to get him to concentrate on his homework because he wants to play some more.
Last week I had to wake up a student in my class. I asked him why he was so tried and he said he had stayed up late to play his favourite Internet game, Farmville. He said he just couldn’t stop playing it! Now his academic work is suffering because he can’t control his urge to play games.
What my son, my student, and I myself need is simply self-control.
In the late 1960’s, American psychologist Walter Mischel launched an experiment about self-control. He left a group of four-year-olds in a room and told them that if they could wait 20 minutes, they could have two marshmallows, a kind of sweet. If they couldn’t wait, he would only give them one.
In videos of the experiment, you can see children squirming, kicking, hiding their eyes—desperately trying to control themselves. Some did wait patiently, while others couldn’t wait a single minute.
Years later, the self-controlled children turned out to get higher SAT scores and got into better colleges. The children who couldn’t wait were more likely to become bullies.
So, the chocolates are still in the fridge. My son Harry is doing his homework with a promise that he can play on the Wii later, and my student says he will try harder to control himself. We all have our own temptations. But if we can control them, we will achieve more.
56. Which of the following is different from the other three?
A. The writer.                                          B. Harry.
C. The writer’s student.                             D. Walter Mischel.
57. We can know from paragraph 5 to paragraph 7 that____________.
A. all the children got two marshmallows
B. all the children waited patiently  
C. self-control can help children succeed later
D. the children who lack self-control get higher SAT scores
58. Which of the following statement is true?
A. The writer is addicted to Wii.
B. The writer’s son is addicted to Farmville.
C. The writer’s student is addicted to chocolates.
D. The writer’s student is addicted to Farmville.
59. What does the underlined word mean in paragraph 5?
A. Something we can eat.                   B. A kind of toy.
C. A kind of mushroom.                     D. A kind of prize.

     BEIJING-Apple Inc is one step closer to beginning sales of iPad2 tablet computers with cellular  
network compatibility (兼容) for the first time in the Chinese mainland, where the consumer-electronics
giant is in the midst of an aggressive expansion.
     According to China's Telecommunication Equipment Certification Center, a device by Apple with
third-generation high-speed wireless data capabilities was issued the network access license needed for
the company to begin official sales in China. The device, listed under model number "A1396", is
compatible with the 3G standard WCDMA, and would work with the cellular network operated by
Apple's local iPhone partner, China Unicom (Hong Kong) Ltd.
       China Unicom declined  to comment.
       Apple already offers the 3G iPad2 in Hong Kong through its partners, but currently only offers
Wi-Fi versions of the device in the Chinese mainland. Still, consumers in China, which according to
research firm IDC surpassed  the US as the world's largest PC market in the second quarter, have been
purchasing 3G tablets through unofficial channels.
       Separately, Apple spokeswoman Carolyn Wu said on Sept 6 that the company's first Hong Kong
store, set to open this quarter, will be located in the city's central shopping and business district in the
International Finance Center's upscale (高檔的) IFC mall, a commercial center and sightseeing spot
along the city's waterfront. Wu also said that Apple is planning a new store in Shanghai later this quarter,
which will be its biggest store in China. She declined to give more details or to comment on the 3G iPad2.
       Apple currently has four full-service Apple stores in the mainland, which receive the most traffic of
any Apple stores in the world. The company otherwise relies on resellers to get its products into the
market.
       The new stores reflect Apple's confidence in rising demand for its products such as smart phones
and tablet computers. Sales in the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan helped boost (增長) the
company's third-quarter results, newly appointed Chief Executive Tim Cook said in July. China revenue (收益) surged (激增) six-fold to about $3.8 billion during the three months ended June 25.
       "This has been a substantial (重大) opportunity for Apple and I firmly believe that we're just
scratching the surface right now," Cook said at the time, referring to strong sales in China. "I see an
incredible opportunity for Apple there."
       From China Daily 2011-09-08
1. According to the news, which of the following statements is true?     
A. WCDMA is not the only 3G standard in the world.
B. Apple Inc sells its products in the market of the Chinese mainland all by its own stores.
C. The consumers in China can only get iPad2 of Wi-Fi versions.
D. Chinese mainland is the second largest PC market in this year's second quarter.
