［1］Why not take a more measured approach to a happier, healthier you? From your office to your bedroom to your car, these small changes can have a big impact on your life.
［2］Wake up ten minutes earlier. When you start your morning in a hurry, you set a stressful tone for the day. (I’m speaking from experience here.) Even ten extra minutes in the morning can help you feel more calm, collected, and ready to face the day.
［3］Spend five minutes in silence or meditation. You’ll soon realize, whether it’s in the morning or evening, that five minutes of sitting quietly with your eyes closed feels a lot longer than five minutes. But just this short silence can foster a quietness that carries through the day. When things go off the rails, simply close your eyes and recall that earlier quietness.
［4］Walk. Is there one trip you’d normally make in the car (to work, the gym, the store) that you can make on foot? Walking saves money (good for you) and gas (good for the environment) and burns calories (around 2,000 steps equal one mile), which is good for your health.
［5］Tell someone you love them. Life is never long enough to say this as many times as it should be said. Whether your mother, a friend, a significant other, or your dog, make it a habit to tell someone at least once a day that you love him or her. While it may feel strange at first, you will never regret it.
［6］Stand (or sit) up straight. Good posture prevents back and neck pain and even build confidence. When driving, tilt your rearview mirror（后視鏡）up a bit. You’ll have to sit up to see. At your desk, the top of your computer screen should be at eye level. Put a small cushion in the curve of your lower back, and your spine will become straight.

Empathy
【1】Last year,researchers from the University of Michigan reported that empathy,the ability to understand other people，among college students had dropped sharply over the past 1 0 years．That could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time，the researchers said．Today,people spend more time alone and are less likely to join groups and clubs．
【2】Jennifer Freed，a co—director of a teen program，has another explanation．Turn on the TV,and you’re showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting，competing，and generally treating one another with no respect. Humans learn by example-and most of the examples on it are anything but empathetic．
【3】There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples．Humans are socially related by nature．Having relationships with other people is an important part of being human-and having empathy is decisive to those relationships．Researchers have also found that empathetic teenagers are more likely to have high self-respect．Besides，empathy can be a cure for loneliness，sadness，anxiety,and fear．
【4】Empathy is also an indication of a good leader．In fact,Freed says，many top companies report that empathy is one of the most important things that they look for in new managers．Good social skills-including emoathy-are essential abilities that will help you succeed in many areas of life．"Academics are important．But if you don’t have emotional intelligence，you won’t be as successful in work or in your love life，”she says．
【5】____?For starters，let down your guard and really listen to others．“One doesn’t develop empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking，”Freed says．
【6】To really develop empathy, you’d better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital，join a club or a team that has a diverse membership，have a“sharing circle’’with your family,or spend time caring for pets at all animal shelter．

The old-fashioned general store is fast disappearing. This is, perhaps, a pity, because shopping today seems to lack that personal contact which existed when the shopkeeper knew all his regular customers personally. He could, for instance, remember which brand of tea Mrs. Smith usually bought or what sort of washing-powder Mrs. Jones preferred. Not only was the shop a center of buying and selling, but also a social meeting place.
A prosperous general store might have employed four or five assistants, and so there were very few problems in management as far as the staff were concerned. But now that the supermarket has replaced the general store, the job of the manager has changed completely. The modern supermarket manager has to cope with a staff of as many as a hundred, apart from all the other everyday problems of running a large business.
Every morning the manager must, like the commander of an army division, carry out an inspection of his store to make sure that everything is ready for the business of the day. He must see that everything is running smoothly. He will have to give advice and make decisions as problems arise, and he must know how to get his huge staff to work efficiently with their respective responsibilities. No matter what he has to do throughout the day, however, the supermarket manager must be ready for any emergency that may arise. They say in the trade that you are not really an experienced supermarket manager until you have dealt with a flood, a fire, a birth and a death in your store.  (Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)
小題1: Why is it a pity that there are fewer old-fashioned general stores now? _____________________________.
小題2: The shopkeeper was often the most well-informed person in the neighborhood because _____________________________.
小題3: The words “… a flood, a fire, a birth and a death …” in the last sentence refer to _____________________________.
小題4: What must the manager do every morning? ___________________________.

[1]Freezing weather can mean frostbite(凍傷)and hypothermia(體溫過低)unless a person is prepared. Today we talk about how to stay warm，dry and safe．
[2]Frostbite is damage that happens when skin is exposed to extreme cold for too long．It mainly happens on the hands，feet，nose and ears．If deeper tissue is affected, a person is likely to feel pain every time the area gets cold．Hypothermia is a condition that develops when the body cannot produce as much heat as it：releases．Signs of hypothermia include uncontrollable shaking，very slow breathing and difficulty thinking clearly．
[3] To avoid cold-related injuries，here is a simple way to remember four basic steps to staying warm．Think of COLD—C．O．L．D．
[4]The C stands for cover．Wear a hat and scarf to keep heat from escaping through the head，neck and ears．And wear mittens(連指手套)instead of gloves．
[5]The O stands for overexertion(用力過度)．Avoid activities that will make you sweaty．Wet clothes and cold weather are a dangerous combination．
[6] L is for layers．Wearing loose，lightweight clothes，one layer on top of another，is better than wearing a single heavy layer of clothing.
[7]D is for dry．In other words，stay as dry as possible．Pay attention to the places where snow can enter clothing．These include the tops of boots，the necks of coats and the wrist areas of mittens or gloves．
[8] And here are two other things to keep in mind-one for children and    ．Eating snow might be fun but it lowers the body’s temperature．And drinking alcohol might make a person feel warm．But what it really does is weaken the body’s ability to hold heat．

閱讀下面短文并回答問題，然后將答案寫到答題卡相應的位置上（請注意各小題后面的詞數(shù)要求）。
(1) According to one study, words send only 7 percent of a person's message.Intonation(語調) and voice quality communicate 38 percent, and nonverbal (not using or involving words) cues (暗看專)transmit a large 55 percent. That means people pick up more from nonverbal communication than from the words a person says. When studying a foreign culture then, it just makes sense to pay attention to how people use nonverbal cues.
(2) Gestures make up a major form of nonverbal communication.  But often these gestures are culture-bound. For example, when the Maoris of New Zealand stick out their tongue at someone, it is a sign of respect. When American schoolchildren make the same gesture, it means just the opposite.  Also, Americans often indicate "OK" with their thumb and forefinger touching to form a circle. The same gesture means"money" to the  Japanese and "zero" to the French. For that reason, people in a foreign culture must use  gestures with caution.
(3) Another part of nonverbal communication is the one that you might not think about—space. When someone comes too close, he feels uncomfortable. When he knocks into someone, he feels obligated(有義務的) to apologize.  But the size of a person's "comfort zone" varies, depending on his culture or ethnic origin. For example, in casual conversation, many Americans stand about four feet apart. People in Latin or Arabic cultures, instead,________ and touch each other often.
（4） Considering the effects of nonverbal communcation, we never rea11y stop communicating. How we walk, how we stand and how we use our hands all send a message to others.  That's why it’s possible to "read someone like a book. "
小題1:Why do we pay more attention to nonverbal cues in a foreign country? (no more than 10 words)
_______________________________________________________________
小題2:What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? (no more than 3 words)
___________________________________________________________________
小題3:How does an American feel when an Arab stands too close to him? (no more than 3 words)

閱讀下面短文，回答文后的5個問題，并把答案寫在答題卡指定區(qū)域內。
[1] If you read a newspaper or listen to a newscast(news report) recently, you may hear or read a strange word, “staycation.” Staycation is a new word the American press(newspapers, radio, and television) is using to describe a vacation very close to your own home, or simply staying at home during your vacation. It is a combination of the words “stay” and “vacation”.
[2] According to many news reports, these staycations are very popular among American families this year. Why? The high price of gasoline for cars and airplanes has made it very expensive for Americans to travel compared to past years. When you combine this with the weak American dollar, it all adds up to people deciding to stay close to home during their traditional summer vacations. Of course, some places are more interesting to “stay home at” than others. And if you live in a very small town, well, you may just want to skip your vacation and save your time up to next year!
[3] Everything is expensive nowadays, and let’s face it—a vacation just may not be in your plan this year. You don’t have to give up family fun just because you can’t              ; instead, follow my tips for an economical staycation filled with old favorites and new adventures! Staycations have achieved high popularity in current hard economic times in which unemployment levels and gas prices are high. 
小題1:What is this passage mainly about? (within one word)
小題2:Which two words make the new word “staycation”? (within 3 words)
小題3:What’s the meaning of “staycation”? (within 20 words)
