【題目】Mark Zukerberg is the founder and CEO of Facebook, an extremely popular social working website that started in the United States.

Now, millions of student users visit Facebook daily and the website is one of the top ten most widely visited sites on the internet worldwide. College and high school students use Facebook to communicate with friends and share both information and pictures for free. The company earns money through advertising.

Many other companies have been rumored(謠傳) to be interested in buying Facebook. Just a few years after Mark started the company, he was approached by Terry Semel, who was the CEO of Yahoo. Terry offered Mark one billion dollars ($1,000,000,000) to sell Facebook to Yahoo. Mark said no, though. He lives for his dream even at the very beginning. He knows this. Maybe he was smart. Now Facebook is rumored to be worth billions of dollars and bigger companies like Microsoft or Google want a share of the company. Some private firms are also interested. Facebook could sell 15 billion dollars if Mark decided to sell it at all. Perhaps Mark will just keep working from his California office to continue his dream of building something cool.

A. members B. students

C. pictures D. advertisements

【題目】 How can you change negative(消極的) thoughts? Many people suggest changing your attitude by thinking of something bright and happy.

However, scientists from Queen’s University in Canada said that there might be another way: by walking like a happy person.

“It is not surprising that our mood and the way we feel affects how we walk, but we want to see whether the way we move also affects how we feel,” explained Nikolaus Troje, the lead scientist, to The Independent.

Scientists believed that the way we remember emotional messages is affected by our mood. Those who suffer from depression (抑郁) remember negative information far more easily than active messages, especially when the information is about them.

In order to prove this, Troje and his team used cameras to observe 47 people walking on the treadmill (跑步機). Half of the people were encouraged to mimic (模仿) a depressive walking style, while the other half moved like a happy person. Walking speed was kept equal for both groups.

During the time on the treadmill, the scientists read out a list of active and negative words, asking people to decide whether or not each word described them well. Afterwards, people were asked to recite as many of the words as they could remember.

As expected, those who had been mimicking a depressed walk remembered more negative words than those that had been walking in a happy manner.

This finding means that our walk influences the way we treat information. And the scientists believe that using a happy walking style could help with treatment for depression.

1What new way did scientists from Queen’s University possibly find to change negative thoughts?

A.Doing something happy.B.Thinking of something bright.

C.Walking like a happy person.D.Thinking about being a happy person.

2Which of the following is NOT true about Troje’s test?

A.The 47 people walked on the treadmill.

B.Half of the people walked in a depressive walking style.

C.Another half walked in a happy walking style.

D.The two groups walked at different speeds.

3In the test, those who walked in a happy manner ______.

A.remembered more negative wordsB.remembered more positive words

C.lived a happier lifeD.lived a harder life

4According to the story, the finding can help ______.

A.treat patients with depressionB.improve one’s acting skills

C.deal with people’s memory lossD.change a person’s exercise habit

【題目】Decision-making under Stress

A new review based on a research shows that acute stress affects the way the brain considers the advantages and disadvantages, causing it to focus on pleasure and ignore the possible negative (負面的) consequences of a decision.

The research suggests that stress may change the way people make choices in predictable ways.

“Stress affects how people learn,” says Professor Mara Mather. “People learn better about positive than negative outcomes under stress.”

For example, two recent studies looked at how people learned to connect images(影像) with either rewards or punishments. In one experiment, some of the participants were first stressed by having to give a speech and do difficult math problems in front of an audience; in the other, some were stressed by having to keep their hands in ice water. In both cases, the stressed participants remembered the rewarded material more accurately and the punished material less accurately than those who hadn’t gone through the stress.

This phenomenon is likely not surprising to anyone who has tried to resist eating cookies or smoking a cigarette while under stress –at those moments, only the pleasure associated with such activities comes to mind. But the findings further suggest that stress may bring about a double effect. Not only are rewarding experiences remembered better, but negative consequences are also easily recalled.

The research also found that stress appears to affect decision-making differently in men and women. While both men and women tend to focus on rewards and less on consequences under stress, their responses to risk turn out to be different.

Men who had been stressed by the cold-water task tended to take more risks in the experiment while women responded in the opposite way. In stressful situations in which risk-taking can pay off big, men may tend to do better, when caution weighs more, however, women will win.

This tendency to slow down and become more cautious when decisions are risky might also help explain why women are less likely to become addicted than men: they may more often avoid making the risky choices that eventually harden into addiction.

1We can learn from the passage that people under pressure tend to ______.

A.keep rewards better in their memory

B.recall consequences more effortlessly

C.make risky decisions more frequently

D.learn a subject more effectively

2According to the research, stress affects people most probably in their ______.

A.ways of making choicesB.preference for pleasure

C.tolerance of punishmentsD.responses to suggestions

3The research has proved that in a stressful situation, ______.

A.women find it easier to fall into certain habits

B.men have a greater tendency to slow down

C.women focus more on outcomes

D.men are more likely to take risks

【題目】 NASA said its Kepler spacecraft has spotted 'Earth's bigger, older cousin': the first nearly Earth-size planet to be found in the habitable zone of a star similar to our own.

Though NASA can’t say for sure whether the planet is rocky like ours or has water and air, it's the closest match yet found.

The planet, Kepler-452b, is about 60% bigger than Earth, NASA says, and is located in its star's habitable zone, where life-sustaining liquid water is possible on the surface of a planet.

A visitor there would experience gravity about twice that of Earth's, and scientists say the possibility of it having a rocky surface are 'better than ever'. While it's a bit farther from its star than Earth is from the sun, its star is brighter, so the planet receives about the same amount of energy from its star as Earth does from the sun.

Kepler researcher Jeff Jenkins said, 'The planet almost certainly has an atmosphere, although scientists can't say what it's made of. But if the assumptions are correct, kepler-452b's atmosphere may be thicker than Earth's. '

It takes 385 days for the planet to orbit its star. 'Because it has spent so long orbiting in this zone—6 billion years—it's had plenty of time to brew life,' Jenkins said.

'That's an opportunity for life to arise, if all the necessary ingredients and conditions for life exist on this planet, ' he said in a statement.

Kepler-452b is too far away for humans to visit. But the discovery of this new Earth-like planet can tell us a lot about what’s possible for the future of space travel. 'The next step in the process is to do follow-up missions to find planets similar to kepler-452b, but much closer to Earth, ' said Peter Coughlin, a Kepler research scientist. 'We could do a lot more research into those planets, and even start to think about visiting one day. '

1The researchers are sure that Kepler-452b ________

A.is larger than EarthB.has an atmosphere

C.has air and waterD.has many rocks

2What is the similarity between Kepler-452b and the Earth?

A.They are both located in the sun's habitable zone

B.Their distances from the sun are almost the same

C.Their atmospheres are made of the same compositions

D.They get almost the same amount of energy from their stars.

3The underlined word 'brew' in paragraph 6 most probably means ________.

A.improveB.endanger

C.produceD.protect

4What should be the best title for the text?

A.Kepler-452b Is Compared to the Earth.

B.NASA Discovers a New Earth-Like Planet.

C.A Spacecraft Was Launched to Find Super-Earth.

D.A New Planet With Life Is Discovered.
