Last December, Doris Low turned 90. Once a week she still drives to the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) in Toronto, where she helps transform literature into Braille() to bring the power of story and knowledge to the hears and minds of blind readers. She has been volunteering her time and talents to such enterprises foe more than 40 years.
After working in the business world for a while, Low got fed up. So she turned to teaching at a technical school and later moved into the library.
Low’s mother liked reading. As her eyes began to fail, low read to her. Then “ hearing an advertisement encouraging people to learn Braille, I decided to give it a try.” In 1973, she was certified as a braille transcriber (轉(zhuǎn)譯者) and began transcribing books as a volunteer for the CNIB library.
The job was strenuous ---she could get to the end of a page, make a mistake on the last line, and have to do the whole thing again. For a number of years, low also worked in the CNIB sound studio reading books onto tape. Three years ago, she took up proofreading (校對(duì)) at the CNIB’s word factory.
In April, during Volunteer Week, the CNIB recognized Low for her great contributions. Thanks to volunteers like Low, the CNIB library has got more than 80,000 accessible materials for people unable to read traditional print. “ I can’t imagine how many readers of all ages have benefited from
Doris’s contribution as a skilled volunteer through her rich voice and her high degree of accuracy in the hundreds of books she has brailled and proofread over the years--- and she is still doing so,” said a CNIB official.
“For me,” said Low, “the CNIB is more than just a place to volunteer. Three thins matter most in my life: a little play, a little work, a little love. I’ve found them all here.”

As you have probably noticed, some students are more successful than others when taking such an examination. Often the more successful students are better prepared. However, sometimes students who do well have better strategic skills that make taking test easier, and therefore provide better results.
Here are some very important and often ignored guidelines to taking a test successfully.
Do not insist on completing each question before going to the next. This is extremely important. If you spend a lot of time on one question that you don’t understand there can be two negative outcomes:
Losing time. Remember one question may only be worth one point, if you are not able to answer questions later because you have lost time you could lose more points!
Becoming nervous. Becoming nervous can make you lose your concentration and leads to worse results.
If possible, go through the entire test answering the questions you are sure you know. This results in your being more relaxed and feeling more confident.
Go through the test a second time working out the answers to more difficult questions. Now you will feel more confident and this will improve your test taking. However, remember not to waste too much time on any one question.
Once you have gone through the test twice, see if any of the questions asked can help you answer those really difficult questions. This is a little used trick. Sometimes questions asked are answered in later questions asking for different things. This should not be tried until you have finished the test and have some time remaining to try the questions you have had problems with again.
If you have a strong feeling about a question when you first answer it, don’t go back and change later. Usually(but not always) a strong first impulse(沖動(dòng))means we know the answer and we don’t really have to think about it too much. Going back to think about it usually makes you unsure and often causes an error. This is very common so be very careful!
小題1: What is the main idea of the passage? ( within 10 words)
                                                                             
小題2:What is the author‘s attitude towards insisting on completing each question before going to the next? (within 2 words)
                                                                              
小題3:What is the purpose of answering the questions we are sure we know first? (within 10 words)
                                                                              
小題4: When should we solve the more difficult questions? (within 10 words)
                                                                              
小題5: What may happen when we go back to think about a question we first answer? (within 10 words)

Advertising is used to make something such as a product, service, or idea known to the public. Many types of advertising are used for the purpose of building brands and increasing product sales. Advertising is present everywhere in our daily life.
Print media like magazines and newspapers allows advertisements to reach their readers. Magazines include articles and images intended to attract a specific(特定的)type of consumers. Newspaper advertising is not as effective as it was before because of the appearance of other types of advertisements.
Broadcast advertising includes TV and radio messages. Traditional forms of these types of advertisements are commercials(商業(yè)廣告)shown during a television program or before a movie. Product placement advertising(植入式廣告)is a less obvious way to promote a product. With product placement advertising, companies pay to have their product ‘used’ by an actor or actress in the program. When you see someone in a TV show or movie using a specific brand, this is product placement.
Internet advertising is one of the new types and can be achieved in a number of ways. Flash advertising refers to messages that jump onto your computer screen and often move around. They can be hard to close and are annoying, but a useful way of gaining your attention.
Outdoor advertising often uses advertising boards as its main way. Of course, the type of advertising also includes using cars with messages on them, or large signs placed on the sides of buses. They can also be signs in stadiums drawing the attention of large crowds.

【1】Classroom programs designed to improve elementary school students' social and emotional skills can also increase reading and math achievement, even if academic improvement is not a direct goal of the skills building, according to a study to be published this month in American Educational Research Journal.
【2】The benefit holds true for students across a range of social-economic backgrounds. In the study, "Efficacy of the Responsive Classroom Approach: Results from a Three Year, Longitudinal Randomized Controlled Trial," the researchers looked specifically at Responsive Classroom (RC), a widely-used social and emotional learning intervention(介入方式).
【3】The study is among just a handful of randomized controlled trials that have examined the effect of social and emotional learning interventions on student achievement.
【4】"We find that at the very least, supporting students' social and emotional growth in the classroom does not interfere with academic learning," said Rimm-Kaufman, professor at the University of Virginia Curry School of Education. "When teachers receive adequate levels of training and support, using practices that support students' social and emotional growth actually boosts achievement."
【5】Math and reading gains were similar among those students who qualified for free and reduced-priced lunch and those who were not.
【6】"The success of many curricula(課程)requires that teachers use effective classroom management and develop student confidence and autonomy(自主)," said Rimm-Kaufman. "Our trial of the Responsive Classroom approach suggests that teachers who take the time to foster relationships in the classroom and support children's self-control actually promote student achievement."
【7】"In a time of intense academic demands, many critics question the value of spending time on teaching social skills, building classroom relationships and supporting student autonomy," said Rimm-Kaufman. "Our research shows that time spent supporting children's social and emotional abilities can be a very wise investment."

Many people run after goals that they hope will make them happy，but happiness is not always the final result.So how does one decide which goals will end in personal happiness and which will not？How do the things in life affect personal happiness?
　The most important thing is people’s attitude toward life，which can greatly affect their personal levels of happiness and satisfaction with life.
　Psychologists have known for some time that optimism is a good way to fight against unhappiness.It’s probably no secret that optimistic people are considered to be much happier people than pessimists.There are specific characteristic features optimists have (pleasant ways of thinking)，that bring them more success，greater health，increased life satisfaction, and other good things.If you became an optimist，it can mean that you became a very happy person，despite your circumstances，and it can actually bring more things into your life to be happy about.“If you are optimistic and you think life is going to get better，it will become a self­fulfillment prediction.” says one of the scientists.“Happy people manage to look on the bright side，even if they meet big problems on their way.”
　Positive psychologists believe that people can learn how to become happy and that everyone can teach themselves to see a half empty glass as half full.All they have to do is to spend time thinking about all the things that have gone right for them，rather than complaining what has gone badly.But people who are depressed usually think and worry about something that went wrong in the past.

Women make better drivers than men for many reasons. Why is that? Wouldn't you think that competing at who has better driving abilities is pointless? If you ask me, I'd like to say, men know that women are better drivers but do not have the courage to admit the truth.
Unlike men, women stop for directions when they have no idea where they are going. Women don't drive around for hours pointlessly wasting a tank of gas only to find themselves heading in the wrong direction. Have you ever been in a car with a man who is lost? He tells you to shut up when you begin to open your mouth. And every five minutes or so he takes a turn going forty-five miles per hour only to find out he's made another wrong turn.
Speeding is what men do best on the road. Traffic is not a race. There is a reason why men get more speeding tickets than women. Not because women trick to get out of tickets but only because they don't speed. Women don't risk putting their own lives and the lives of others in danger. In other words ，they have more responsibility for life.
My largest issue with male drivers is how a majority of them drive with one hand on the wheel and the other hand doing only God knows what. The seat is backed as far as possible. They're totally lost in loud music beyond a necessary level. You don't ever see women driving like that.
I feel that the above evidence more than proves my points that women are queens of the road. Oh ，men, if you want to continue criticizing women for being bad drivers， bring it on. We know you lack confidence, or else you wouldn't be wasting your valuable time making jokes about the ones you may choose to spend the rest of your days with.
小題1:Who does the author think are the better drivers? (no more than 1 word)
小題2:When will women drivers stop to ask for help? (no more than 9 words)
小題3:Why do men get more speeding tickets? (no more than 3 words)
小題4:What quality do women drivers have when it comes to safety? (no more than 3 words)
小題5:How is the seat backed by most male drivers? (no more than 4 words)
