Political activists from South Korea gathered signatures of people on Saturday to prevent the push to deploy(部署) a U.S. missile shield - Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD萨德) in their country.
At the Gwanghwamun square in central Seoul (首尔), where the people ever lit candles to force former President Park Geun-hye out of office, the campaign was carried out to urge lawmakers to stop the hurried push for THAAD deployment.
On March 6, some equipment of the THAAD was flown to a U.S. military(军事的) base south of Seoul. One THAAD battery consists of complicated fire and control units and some other equipment. Local broadcasting station KBS reported that the AN/TPY-2 radar(雷达)was supposed to be delivered to South Korea on March 16, but it was not confirmed as the U.S. Forces Korea (USFK) refused to tell the arrival of other THAAD equipment.
The hurry deployment "is illegal and against the law," said a person who refused to tell his name. She said their advice would be presented next week to the leaders of major political parties. The campaign started online a week ago, and it had already collected around 5,000 signatures. They are targeting 10,000 signatures to be gathered. The organizing groups would call on the government to stop all deployment procedures. The Seoul-Washington agreement to put one THAAD battery was announced in July last year without any parliamentary（国会的）ap
proval and public consensus.
"Lawmakers must stop telling. They must act," said the activist. They claimed the THAAD plan lacked the people's agreement and is against people's rights to peaceful, healthy life and environmental protection, which are guaranteed by the law. The Gwanghwamun square was packed with people holding cards that read "Opposition to THAAD." Residents made their way to the capital city and chanted the famous slogan "THAAD Out, Peace In." Some put a flag with anti-THAAD slogan over their shoulders, while children held a blue, rubber balloon that was stamped with anti-THAAD slogan.
In addition to opposition at home, China and Russia have strongly opposed THAAD in South Korea as it can spy on their countries, thus damaging security of the two countries.
Under the Seoul-Washington agreement, THAAD in South Korea will be operated by the USFK. Seoul has claimed the X-band radar is only aimed at the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's (DPRK) threats, but South Korea's military has no right to be engaged in the operation.

There is one type of illness in the world that has a severe effect on more people than anything else and is very deadly. If untreated, this illness could affect everything you do. What is this illness? Depression. Serious depression requires professional treatment. Self-induced depression is something each of us can change.
Everyone’s circumstances are different, but the causes of self-induced depression are common: low self-esteem, hurtful thinking and a bad attitude.
So how can we change the way we think, feel, and have a cheerful attitude?
First we must look at ourselves, truly and honestly examining our motives for what we wish to accomplish. If you are dissatisfied because you feel you haven’t or can’t do anything, then one step is needed—to set goals.
Always start your goals relatively small and easy to attain. Think of them as sand; one grain may be insignificant(微不足道的) but as a group they form the beach. Once you have set and attained small goals for yourself, move on to slightly larger, more challenging goals.It takes not just setting goals but positive thinking. How can we obtain this?
There are a number of factors that can make us think negatively and one of those is diet.In my opinion, a person who eats a lot of take-out and fast food is feeding their body junk. Start by eating better foods which give the body much NEEDED minerals. If your physical body is happy, it’s much easier for your mental body or “thinking ability” to be happy.[
Next, exercise. Half an hour a day is recommended for positive well-being. Then think about good memories you had, or generally think of things that make you smile. Remember, everything you wear costs money but to wear a smile is free. A smile can be the difference between an average day and a great day.
If you follow these steps, positive change is on the way.
1.Which of the statements about depression is TRUE?
A. Depression is a kind of illness that can’t be cured like some cancer.
B. Depression can all be cured successfully by doctors in an easy way.
C. Those who suffer from depression live in the same circumstances.
D. Those who suffer from depression hold negative attitudes.
2.According to the passage we can learn that ________.
A. a practical goal can help people to achieve a sense of success
B. we shouldn’t be satisfied with small goals that are insignificant
C. we should avoid challenging goals that may result in failure
D. people can enjoy happiness even if they set inappropriate goals
3.What can we infer from the reading passage?
A. Those who can achieve small goals can surely achieve big ones.
B. Depression has something to do with the food people eat.
C. You can only exercise half an hour if you want to get rid of depression.
D. Smile makes no sense to the feeling in daily life.

There is a common ,usually round object that you can see every day and it appears in many expressions—buttons! Buttons, which are made of metal or plastic, are found on all sorts of clothing. They fasten or connect one piece of clothing to another to make sure your clothes don’t fall off.
To be cute as a button is an old saying, which means to be attractive or sweet, but in a small way. Babies are often described as cute as a button. Language experts don’t know why. But they do say the expression dates from the late 1860s.
Here is another expression associated with button: button-down. People often wear button-down shirts to the office. Button-down as an adjective means to be conservative. People described as button-down stay as close as possible to the normal way of dressing and behaving.
When buttoning a button, you slip it into a buttonhole. A buttonhole traps the button. So, to buttonhole someone means you have trapped him in a spoken conversation. Now, let’s say you find yourself buttonholed in a conversation at a party. Someone just keeps talking and talking and talking! Finally, you can’t stand it any longer. You tell him to button it! This is a direct, but a little rude way of saying “Stop talking!”Button your lip is another equally rude way to stop a person who talks too much.
Another kind of difficult person is someone who pushes one’s buttons. To push one’s buttons means to know how to get that person annoyed or upset. People who like to push other people’s buttons usually do it for selfish reasons.
1.What do you think of someone who wears a button-down shirt to the office?
A. Crazy. B. Traditional.
C. Funny. D. Fashionable.
2.What will you probably say to get rid of a long and boring talk?
A. Be cute as a button.
B. Push your button.
C. Button your lip.
D. Be button-down.
3.How does the fourth paragraph mainly develop?
A. By giving examples.
B. By making contrasts.
C. By listing figures.
D. By analyzing cause and effect.
4.What does the underlined phrase in paragraph mean?[
A. Shouts loudly.
B. Learns of one’s secret.
C. Gets someone to lose his temper.
D. Argues with someone.

Americans always attach great weight to the business of the country. President Coolidge’s statement, “the business of America is business.” Still points to an important truth today—that business institutions have more prestige(威望) in American society than any other kind of organization, including the government. Why do business institutions possess this great prestige?
One reason is that Americans view business as being more firmly based on the ideal of competition than other institutions in society. Since competition is seen as the major source of progress and prosperity by most Americans, competitive business institutions are respected. Competition is not only good in itself, it is the means by which other basic American values such as individual freedom, equality of opportunity, and hard work are protected.
Competition protects the freedom of the individual by ensuring that there is no monopoly (垄断、垄断者) of power. In contrast to one, all-powerful government, many businesses compete against each other for profits. Theoretically, if one business tries to take unfair advantage of its customers, it will lose to competing business which treats its customers more fairly. Where many businesses compete for the customers’ dollar, they cannot afford to treat them like inferiors(下属) or slaves.
A contrast is often made between business, which is competitive, and government, which is a monopoly. Because is competitive, many Americans believe that it is more supportive of freedom than government, even though government leaders are elected by the people and business leaders are not. Many Americans believes, then, that competition is as important, or even more important, than democracy in preserving freedom.
Competition in business is also believed to strengthen the ideal of equality of opportunity. Competition is seen as an open and fair where success goes to the swiftest person regardless of his or her social class background. Competitive success is commonly seen as the American alternation to social rank based on family background. Business is therefore world as an expression of the idea of equality of opportunity in America rather than the aristocratic(贵族的) idea of inherited privilege in many other countries
1.The statement “The business of America is business” probably means “_______”.
A. the business institutions in American are concerned with commerce(商业)
B. business problems are of great importance to the American government
C. business is of primary concern to Americans
D. America is a great power in world business
2.Who can benefit from the business competition?
A. Honest businessmen.
B. People with ideas of equality and freedom.
C. Both businessmen and their customers.
D. Both business institutions and government.
3.Government is believed to differ unusually from business because government is characterized by ________.
A. its absolute control of power
B. its function in preserving personal freedom
C. its role in protecting basic American values
D. its democratic way of exercising leadership
4.It can be concluded from the passage that the author believes ________.
A. Americans are more ambitious than people in other countries
B. in many countries, success often depends on one’s social status
C. American businesses are more democratic(民主的) than those in other countries
D. businesses in other countries are not as competitive as those in America

Remembering birthdays, anniversaries and other special days is a sign that you honor your parents. Make plans to take them to lunch or dinner or bake a cake or cookies.
