A man hired a taxi outside the airfield．The cab had a woolen carpet with  36 lace edges．On the glass partition that  37 the driver's seat was a copy of a famous painting．Its windows were all clean．The customer was very much  38 and said to the driver，“I've never seen a nicer  39 ．”“Thank you for your praise．”the driver answered  40 ．
“The car isn't mine，”said the driver．“It belongs to the company．I used to be a  41 of cabs．When they returned，all of them were as  42 as garbage cans with cigarette butts and rubbish  43 here and there．On the seats and door-handles could be found something  44  like peanut sauce or, chewing gum．Why so? I thought if the car itself were very clean the passengers would most  45 be considerate and refrain from littering．”
“So when I got a  46 to be a taxi-driver，I began  47 my idea into practice-to tidy and  48 the car． Now before a new passenger gets on my car，I'd make a cheek and be sure it is in good order．When my car  49 after a day's work，it always remains  50 ．”
When doing a thing，one makes efforts and wants to see the result．To change others，one has to make twice the  51 but get half the result．To change oneself is the other way round-more fruit with less effort．One had better ask oneself why one makes  52 on others much more than on oneself．  53 you take enough care to do as best you can for other people's sake，your efforts will yield results，If you  54 the inner world of your own，examine yourself and wipe out the dust and dirt，instead of fixing your eyes on other people，you will find a cheerful  55 for yourself and create a pleasant environment for others．

The Basics of Math—Made Clear
Basic Math introduces students to the basic concepts of mathematics, as well as the fundamentals of more tricky areas. These 30 fantastic lectures are designed to provide students with an understanding of arithmetic and to prepare them for Algebra(代數(shù)) and beyond.
The lessons in Basic Math cover every basic aspect of arithmetic. They also look into exponents(指數(shù)), the order of operations, and square roots. In addition to learning how to perform various mathematical operations, students discover why these operations work, how a particular mathematical topic relates to other branches of mathematics, and how these operations can be used practically.
Basic Math starts from the relatively easier concepts and gradually moves on to the more troublesome ones, so as to allow for steady and sure understanding of the material by students. The lectures offer students the chance to “make sense” of mathematical knowledge that may have seemed so frightening. They also help students prepare for college mathematics and overcome their anxiety about this amazing—and completely understandable—field of study.
By the conclusion of the course, students will have improved their understanding of basic math. They will be able to clear away the mystery(神秘性) of mathematics and face their studies with more confidence than they ever imagined. In addition, they will strengthen their ability to accept new and exciting mathematical challenges.
Professor H. Siegel, honored by Kentucky Educational Television as “the best math teacher in America,” is a devoted teacher and has a gift for explaining mathematical concepts in ways that make them seem clear and obvious. From the basic concrete ideas to the more abstract problems, he is master in making math lectures learner-friendlier and less scary.
With a PhD in Mathematics Education from Georgia State University, Dr. Siegel teaches mathematics at Central Arizona College. His courses include various make-up classes and a number of lectures for future primary school teachers.
If the course fails to provide complete satisfaction to you, you can easily exchange it for any other course that we offer. Or you can get your money back.
小題1:What does the course Basic Math mainly cover?
A．Algebra.B．College Mathematics.
C．Arithmetic.D．Mathematics Education.

In Greek mythology（神話）, the gods punished Sisyphus by forcing him to roll a rock up a steep hill for eternity（來世）. But he was probably better off than if they’d forced him to sit and stare into space until the end of time, conclude the authors of a new study on keeping busy. They found that people who have something to do, even something pointless, are happier than people who sit around.
“The general phenomenon I’m interested in is why people are too busy doing what they are doing in modern society,” says Christopher K. Hsee, of the University of Chicago. “People are running around, working hard, the way beyond the basic level.” Sure, there are reasons, like making a living, earning money, and so on. But, Hsee says, “I think there’s something deeper: We have extra energy and we want to avoid idleness.”
In a study 98 students were asked to complete two surveys. After they had completed the first they were made to wait 15 minutes to receive the next one. They were given a choice of either handing in the first survey nearby or at a more distant location they had to walk to. Whichever option they chose, they received a chocolate bar. Not everyone chose to go to the faraway location. Two-thirds chose the lazy option. Yet those who chose to stay busy by going to the faraway location were found to be happier than those who had stayed put.
But if the chocolate bars offered at the  two locations were different, they were more likely to choose the far location—because they could make up a good and acceptable reason for the trip, Hsee and his colleagues say.
Hsee thinks it may be possible to use this principle—people like being busy, and they like being able to show being busy right or reasonable—to benefit society. “If we can find a way for idle people to engage in activity that is at least not harmful, I think it is better than destructive business,” he says. Hsee himself has been known to  give a research assistant a useless task when he doesn’t have anything to do, so he isn’t sitting around the office getting bored and depressed.
小題1:The author starts the passage with the Greek mythology story to ________.
A．make it easier to understand the passage
B．draw readers’ attention to Greek culture
C．show Greek people enjoyed being busy
D．bring about the subject of the passage
小題2:According to Hsee, people are busy in modern society because they want to _________.
A．make others think they are not lazy
B．keep their energy at the basic level
C．earn more money to support their family
D．a(chǎn)void the state of having nothing to do
小題3:The underlined phrase “stayed put” in Paragraph 3 probably means __________.
A．remained thereB．kept occupiedC．got aroundD．stayed awake
小題4:How does Hsee’s assistant probably feel while performing a task?
A．Blue.B．Empty.C．Contented.D．Trapped.

You’re standing with your classmates. Everyone is talking—except you. Perhaps you’re afraid they will laugh at what you say. Or maybe you just aren’t brave enough to speak.
I’ve been there, and so have many other people all over the world. Shyness is like a snake that crawls(爬進(jìn)) into our mouths and stops us speaking. But we shouldn’t let it stay there.
I am 29 years old. Even today, that snake still sometimes visits me. But when I was in high school, I was so shy that I wouldn’t talk to anyone except my parents and best friends. If a stranger asked me the way to a local shop, it was as if I’d forgotten how to talk.
One summer, I got a job in a restaurant and that helped a lot. It meant I had to talk to customers. I had to tell them how much their meal cost. I had to ask them if they wanted to drink Coke or Sprite. I had to tell the people in the kitchen if someone wanted pickle（泡菜）on their sandwich.
This job taught me how to speak with people.
You may not be old enough to find a part-time job. But you can look for other chances to speak with people. You can offer to help an old woman carry her heavy bag. Or you can go to get a newspaper for your family.
If you do these things for a while, the “shyness” snake will soon begin to leave you alone. It’ll look for another mouth to crawl into.
小題1:The example in the first paragraph is used to          .
A．show that everyone has the right to speak in class
B．tell readers that it is not right to laugh at others
C．introduce the fact that many people have a shyness problem
D．a(chǎn)rgue that it is alright to keep silent in public
小題2:The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably means       .
A．he’s been in many situations that make other people feel shy
B．he is confident that he can find a way to get over shyness
C．he is sad because he knows he will always be shy
D．like many other people he once was troubled by shyness
小題3:The author’s duties in the restaurant included           .
A．cooking the meals for customers
B．taking the customers’ orders
C．discussing the menu with the manager
D．helping people in the kitchen
小題4:Who was the article written for?
A．Shy early teenagers.
B．College students.
C．People who work at a restaurant.
D．People who need a part-time job.

Obama Still Smokes in Secret
US President Barack Obama has just made life more difficult for cigarette makers. He has just signed a law that will set tough new rules for the tobacco industry. The new law gives the US Food and Drug Administration the power to strictly limit the making and marketing of tobacco products.
At a White House signing ceremony Monday, Obama said that he was among the nearly 90% of smokers who took up the habit before their 18 th birthday.
Obama, who has publicly struggled to give up smoking, said he still hadn’t completely kicked the habit. Every now and then he still smokes in secret.
“As a former smoker I struggle with it all the time. Do I still smoke sometimes? Yes. Am I a daily smoker, a constant smoker? No.” Obama said at a news conference.
“I don' t do it in front of my lads．I don ?t do it in front of my family．I would say that I am 95% cured, but there are times when I mess up, " he said．
"Once you go down this path, it' s something you continually struggle with, which is exactly why the law is so important．The new law is not about me, it' s about the next generation of kids coming up．What we don ' t want is kids going down that path," he said．
Nearly 20% of Americans smoke and tobacco use kills about 440,000 people a year in the United States due to cancer, heart disease, and other serious diseases．

 Professor Reason recently persuaded 35 people to keep a diary of all their absent-minded actions for two weeks. When he came to analyze their embarrassing errors, he was surprised to find that nearly all of them fell into a few groups.
One of the women, for instance, on leaving her house for work one morning threw her pet dog her earrings and tried to fix a dog biscuit on her ear. “The explanation for this is that the brain is like a computer,” explains the professor. “People programme themselves to do certain activities regularly.” It was the woman’s custom every morning to throw her dog two biscuits and then put on her earrings. “But somehow the action got reversed（顛倒）in the programme.” About one in twenty of the incidents the volunteers reported were these “programme assembly failures.”
Twenty percent of all errors were “test failures” — mainly due to not verifying the progress of what the body was doing. A man about to get his car out of the garage passed through the back yard where his garden jacket and boots were kept, put them on — much to his surprise. A woman reported, “I got into the bath with my socks on.”
The commonest problem was information “storage failures”. People forgot the names of people whose faces they knew, went into a room and forgot why they were there, mislaid something, or smoked a cigarette without realizing it.
The research so far suggests that while the central processor of the brain is liberated from second-to-second control of a well-practiced routine, it must repeatedly switch back its attention at important decision points to check that the action goes on as intended. Otherwise the activity may be gotten by another frequently and recently used programme, resulting in embarrassing errors.
小題1:The purpose of the professor’s research is to __________.
A．show the difference between men and women
B．sort and explain some errors in human actions
C．find the causes which lead to computer failures
D．compare computer functions with brain working
小題2:Which of the following might be grouped under “programme assembly failures”?
A．A woman went to a shop and forgot what to buy.
B．A man returning home after work left his key in the lock.
C．A lady fell as she was paying attention to each step her feet were taking.
D．An old man, with his shoes on, was trying to put on his socks.
小題3:The underlined word “verifying” (in paragraph 3) can be replaced by “_______”.
A．improvingB．changingC．checkingD．stopping
小題4:According to the passage, the information “storage failure” refers to “_______”.
A．information collecting system being destroyed
B．one’s total memory being removed
C．the loss of part of one’s memory for a time
D．the separation of one’s action from words
