There is a kind of shopping that is called compulsive(強迫性的) shopping. Compulsive shopping is usually described as out of control and not reasonable.
How can we know whether we are one of compulsive shoppers? Compulsive shoppers go out and buy things much more often than other people do.They often buy things they do not need.Many times they will spend over their budget limits and get into deep financial trouble.While someone else will think many times if they can afford this or that thing,compulsive shoppers will have no awareness of the boundaries of a budget.They also often hide the things they have bought in order not to be blamed by other family members.They often refuse to admit their problem and cover up their debts with cheat.
Compulsive shopping usually occurs when a person feels sad,lonely or angry. Shopping will not guarantee more love,or cure the hurts,regrets,stress,and the problems of everyday life. Just the opposite, it eventually may make these feelings worse because of the increased financial problems the person has got from this addiction. Some families even lead to a divorce as compulsive shoppers spend a lot of time away from home.
Treating a shopping addiction requires various approaches.The best thing to start with is to recognize the problem by compulsive shoppers themselves. First of all,don’t use their credit cards,and instead,start paying by cash. It might be useful to make a shopping list in order to buy strictly what is needed.And if there is a chance to get attracted, it might help to have just some small money and leave the wallet at home.It is also good to ask family and friends for support. And if after all these people still feel out of control,then it is recommended to seek professional advice or a self­help group to deal with this problem.

解析試題分析:文章講述了強迫性購物的特點,強迫性購物就是很多人去買自己并不需要的東西而陷入財政危機,他們沒有經(jīng)濟困難的危機感。具有強迫性購物的人往往是在傷心,孤獨等時發(fā)生,進而導(dǎo)致更大的問題,有些家庭甚至因為花錢太多而導(dǎo)致離婚。最后說明了解決具有強迫癥購物的方法,不要用信用卡購物,列自己需要的東西的清單等。
【小題1】Description文意總結(jié)題。Uncontrollable and unreasonable shopping.意思是:不能控制的不明智的購物,是對強迫購物的的特點說明,故應(yīng)為Description.描述,描寫的意思。
【小題2】unnecessary細節(jié)歸納題。They often buy things they do not need。句意為:他們經(jīng)常去買一些不需要的東西,所以此空應(yīng)填寫unnecessary 沒有必要的。
【小題3】aware細節(jié)總結(jié)題。compulsive shoppers will have no awareness of the boundaries of a budget句意為:具有強迫癥的購物者沒有預(yù)算范圍的意識(經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)財務(wù)危機)。所以此空應(yīng)為 be aware of 意識到的意思。
【小題4】 hidden細節(jié)理解題。They also often hide the things they have bought in order not to be blamed by other family members.意思為:他們經(jīng)常把買到的東西藏起來為了不受家人的責(zé)備。所以此處應(yīng)為keep sth hidden,把某物藏起來的意思。
【小題5】cheating 總結(jié)歸納題。They often refuse to admit their problem and cover up their debts with cheat.
句意為:他們經(jīng)常拒絕承認他們的問題,用欺騙來遮掩他們的債務(wù)。所以此空應(yīng)表達他們否認他們的問題并掩蓋他們的問題。
【小題6】effects 總結(jié)歸納。從后面不斷加劇的財政問題和離婚可知此處應(yīng)是可能存在的有害影響,故答案應(yīng)為effects.
【小題7】Making 細節(jié)理解題。Just the opposite, it eventually may make these feelings worse because of the increased financial problems the person has got from this addiction.正好相反,最終,因為他們的日益加劇的經(jīng)濟問題會使這些人的心情更糟。由此處可知應(yīng)填寫making.
【小題8】Treatments歸納總結(jié)題目。Making a shopping list. 意思為:列購物清單;Taking along just some small money.帶一小部分錢;Asking family and friends for support向家人和朋友尋求幫助。.從此可以看出這應(yīng)該是治療強迫癥的方法。所以應(yīng)為treatment.
【小題9】avoiding 細節(jié)理解題。The best thing to start with is to recognize the problem by compulsive shoppers themselves. First of all,don’t use their credit cards,and instead,start paying by cash.句意為:開端最好是讓他們自己認識到這個問題(的嚴重性),首先不要用他們的信用卡,而是去付現(xiàn)金。所以此空應(yīng)為avoiding using their credit card.避免使用信用卡
【小題10】 professional 細節(jié)理解題。And if after all these people still feel out of control,then it is recommended to seek professional advice or a self­help group to deal with this problem.意思是:---尋求一些專業(yè)的建議來解決這一問題,故答案應(yīng)為seek professional advice。
【考點】考查文章的歸納總結(jié)和細節(jié)理解。

Garlic (大蒜) is one of the most common spices of the kitchen, and the good news is that growing garlic indoors is simple. Garlic can be easily grown at home from individual cloves (瓣), which is the most commonly used form of cultivating garlic than growing garlic from seeds. Here are some useful tips on growing garlic indoors.
Autumn is the best time to plant garlic. Garlic requires enough time to develop strong roots. In warmer climate, it can be delayed to late winter or early spring.
Ensure the container used to grow garlic is large enough for the roots to have enough space to grow. The larger the size of the container, the healthier and bigger the garlic bulbs (鱗莖) will be. The container should also have holes at the bottom so that the water can drain (流走) out easily.
Sow each clove vertically into the soil at a depth of one inch. Ensure that the blunt end (平端) is facing downward. In case of container gardening, the number of cloves to be sowed in each container depends on the size of the container. In case you are planning to sow more than one clove in each container, make sure that each clove is at least 5 inches apart from others.
For the best growth of the garlic plant, choose a sunny spot where there is enough air circulation (流通). This will aid evaporation (蒸發(fā)) of too much amount of water and prevent the soil from becoming too damp in case too much watering does occur. Window sill (窗臺) is a good place to put your container of garlic plant.
Once the clove has been sowed, cover the soil with a layer of mulch (覆蓋物) to protect the roots from extreme cold. Provide fertilizer at the correct time in right amounts, and proper watering. Once the garlic tips start appearing in the spring season, pull back the layer of mulch. Feed the plants once or twice every month with fertilizer.

Failure in a relationship, business, career and exam or sudden loss of a close one can make us lose patience and calmness. However, the only person who can help you keep calm is you! You have to find the cause of your problem and then work on it. Here are some tips on how to be calm.
Steal some solitary(獨自的)moments from your life! Go to a calm and cool place, maybe your local park, a less-visited restaurant or any place that can give you some peaceful moments with yourself. Simply sitting on cool green grass under the limitless sky cam make you feel relaxed. If you can’t find any place, it’s also a good idea to dim (使暗淡)your sitting room light and sit relaxed on your sofa.
Talk to the “inner you ”! Open your mind, effortlessly, without a calculating and judging mind! Don’t let yourself be troubled by any belief and thought,. It’s not so simple. But if you just do so, you’ll slowly develop an inner peace. Or course, this doesn’t mean that you’ll stop the daily work linked to thinking! Carry your life as you’ve been, but just sometimes, sit and order your mind to relax.
Lean to manage anger! Avoid the things that cause so much stress that they lead to uncontrollable anger. Self-talk can teach a person how to change that inner voice from an aggressive(好斗的) voice to a problem-solving voice. Walking away from a situation until you have better control over your anger will help you avoid creating situations that may grow into dangerous situations.
In short, there are many ways to be calm in any situation. Keeping calm is one of the most important things you can do for yourself. Not only will it be good for your health, it can also help you have a better relationship with other people.

Scientists, doctors and mental health professionals have been studying the connection between colors and mood for years. Many now believe that colors can not only bring about emotional reactions, but can also correct mood. Colors behave in three basic ways: active, passive and neutral (中和的).
Active colors are warm colors, including yellow, orange and red. These colors bring confidence. Warm colors can also bring cheerful attitudes. Yellows and golden colors work well in offices, kitchens and study areas. Reds heat up a room. Passive colors or cool colors make people calm, quiet and satisfied. Bedrooms, private areas and bathrooms are great places for blues and greens. Beige, gray and white are thought of as neutral colors. They help to put the focus on other colors or serve to tone down colors that might otherwise be overpowering on their own.
You can easily change the look or feel of a room by making good use of different colors. Mixing and matching colors is an excellent way to balance color and emotion, and provide a welcoming feel for guests.
To create a feeling of warmth and comfort in a room, use bright, warm colors like yellow, orange and red. These colors are good choices for rooms that appear cool due to limited sunlight. Yellow adds cheerfulness to dull rooms. You can add yellows to rooms which are not closely related to happy thoughts, such as kitchens and laundry room. In rooms where there's plenty of sunshine, cool colors can provide a calming environment. Sage greens and sky blues are perfect for bedrooms, playrooms and activity areas. Neutral colors, such as pale gray, white and beige, send a peaceful message to your brain. It's not a coincidence that most doctor's offices, coffee shops and mental health centers are decorated in neutrals.
To make your wall color choices better, pick out furniture that will provide a visual contrast. Cool colors make a room seem larger than it is and warm colors make rooms feel smaller.

London - Police are monitoring social networking sites popular with teenagers such as Bebo, Facebook and MySpace after claims that they are being used to organize mass brawls (對罵).
Kent Police believe that teenagers have been using the Internet to arrange “fight club” contests watched by up to 100 spectators in a public park.
At least six organized fights have taken place in Brenchley Gardens in Maidstone, Kent, according to one teenage blogger. (4) During one of the fights a 14-year-old boy was arrested for carrying a hunting knife. Kent Police have now ordered specialist officers to monitor sites such as Bebo.
Chief Inspector Ian Hall said: “(5) We are aware of attempts to organize fights using technology such as websites and mobile phones. Pupils from some schools in the  area  may  be  involved  in  this  type of anti-social behavior and we are working with schools to eradicate (根除) the problem.”
According to one blogger the fights usually take place on Saturday nights. The contests are named after the Hollywood film Fight Club starring Edward Norton and Brad Pitt. The central characters fight for the adrenaline rush but the film has an ironic twist (歪曲) apparently lost on some of its audience.
This week police in Macclesfield, Cheshire, arrested six teenagers on suspicion of public order offences after an investigation into a series  of assaults (襲擊). The  youths, aged  16  and  17, were released on police bail (保釋). The  officers  discovered that attacks had been discussed and possibly even prearranged using the Bebo websites.
In Collumpton, Devon, last  weekend  police  intercepted (阻止) 30  pupils  going  to  a mass brawl carrying metal bars, pieces of wood and chain.
Questions 1—3: Answer the following questions briefly.
【小題1】What is the main idea of the passage?
【小題2】What does the underlined word “monitoring” mean?
【小題3】Please find a sentence in the passage which can replace the following one.
It is likely that the teenagers had used the Bebo websites to discuss and even plan the attack.
Questions 4—5: Translate the underlined sentences in the passage into Chinese.
