    I got interested in the idea of standing desks about a year ago. The health advantages of standing instead of sitting for eight hours a day are clear, so when the company Ergotron invited me to review their WorkFit C-Mod Dual Desk, I jumped out of my chair---really.
    After several hours putting the desk together, I finally got to try it out. The standing desk had a desktop that I could use for writing.
    At first I absolutely loved it. Standing during the day instead of sitting was fantastic. Although I felt more tired after all that standing during the day, I knew the health benefits were worth the slight discomfort. However, after the initial novelty (新奇)of the desk wore off, I realized that I could not use it in the long term.
    It was just not practical. While using the desk for a month , I could definitely foresee problems arising from using it full time.
    I enjoy having a lot of things on my desk. The standing desk just did not have enough room for all of my things.
    I can easily foresee awkward situations when I put that desk in an office space. When someone comes into your office, does your guest have to stand as well? If you office is big enough, maybe you have room for two chairs for you and a visitor, which is great. Yet for the ordinary worker in a small office, the standing desk creates a very awkward situation.
    Additionally, the amount of money I would have to spend to replace my current workspace with a standing desk was another issue. The desks I have looked at were highly expensive.
    Yes, spending the day standing can offset(抵消) many of the negative effects of too much sitting, but we humans are designed for movement. Through activity changes like taking the stairs instead of the elevator, you can easily increase the time you spend on your feet. Best of all, those options are completely free

        unhappy
      4. D.

    2. 2.

      1. A.
        thought it was boring
      2. B.
        thought it was wonderful
      3. C.
        felt less tired than usual
      4. D.
        felt quite uncomfortable

    Signs in Chinese will be set up in public areas such as airports, to benefit Chinese travelers, the Italian Government announced in late February. Now many European countries are expected to follow this example.
    Despite the different languages, travel across Europe has never been so simple. Just five years ago, if you wanted to visit Germany in the north and Spain in the south in one trip, you had to wait for weeks to apply for different visas from the two countries. You also needed a calculator because both countries had different money.
    Today, with a Schengen Visa issued by any member country, you can travel across 15 European countries without stopping. Since 2002, within most of the EU, there is now just one type of money called the Euro. The Euro was designed to be the only money in the EU, and already makes it easier to shop around. If you drive, your driving license and car insurance policy are valid（有效的）in the other European countries. And you can use your mobile phone everywhere.
    All the countries in the continent are melting into a united Europe under the EU. For Europeans and visitors, the result is that it is more convenient to travel back and forth between the different countries

    1. 1.

      2. B.
        more and more Europeans have a desire to know more about China
      3. C.
        more and more Chinese people will go to travel across Europe
      4. D.
        Chinese is now an important language in Europe
    2. 2.

      Compared to five years ago, traveling in Europe has become easier because ___

      1. A.
        you needn’t drive a car
      2. B.
        you can use a calculator to exchange money
      3. C.
        applying for different visas is much simpler
      4. D.
        one visa is good enough for traveling in a number of countries
    3. 3.

      It can be inferred from the passage that _____

      1. A.
        an increasing number of Chinese tend to travel to Europe
      2. B.
        Chinese has become an important language in Europe
      3. C.
        the Euro is the only money used in the EU now
      4. D.
        it is always necessary to unite many countries into one

    Even if you are naturally shy, these three tricks will help you to quickly build a new social circle in any new city.
    1. Take pictures.
    One of the great things about taking pictures at an event or party is that it gives you an excuse to get in touch with the person later. Everybody loves seeing pictures of themselves, and it’s very easy after taking a picture to say “If you’d like I can email it to you”. This can be the seed that leads to new connections. The next time you hear about a fun event, email your new contacts to let them know about it.
    2. Eat alone in public.
    You might feel self-conscious eating by yourself but it has an important benefit: you are much easier to approach when you are alone. People may be afraid of interrupting you or being rude if you are in a conversation with someone else. Bring a book or newspaper to read (this will make you feel less self-conscious). Plus, having an interesting book with you will give others an excuse to start a conversation if they’ve read it.
    3. Join a class, sports team, or club.
    Yoga, salsa dancing, volleyball, Toastmasters (a public speaking club), a class for work, etc. Take up a new hobby or continue an old one!
    These are all great places to meet new people, primarily because you will be forced to see the same people over and over again in the class. You will automatically make friends with them if you have a common interest and are forced to see each other again.
    Tips:
    * In the beginning, never turn down an invitation from someone, even if it’s something you wouldn’t normally do.
    * Email your new friends with fun things to do instead of always asking what their plans are. If they have a better plan you can drop yours and join them. This will help establish you as someone who is contributing value instead of just taking it (people want this in a friend).
    * Don’t let little things in life upset you or be a negative person. People don’t want to be around someone like that!

    1. 1.

      According to the text, which of the following is NOT mentioned as an advantage of joining a class?

      1. A.
        It helps you find out people who share a common interest with you
      2. B.
        It helps you find out your interest and take up a new hobby
      3. C.
        It offers an opportunity to meet the same people repeatedly
      4. D.
        It is a good way to meet new people and make friends in a new city
    2. 2.

      Which of the following pieces of advice is a tip from the text?

      1. A.
        Try to be outgoing and talkative instead of being shy
      2. B.
        Never turn down an invitation from your friends
      3. C.
        Offer suggestions on how to spend time together
      4. D.
        Always give a positive response to any request
    3. 3.

      By writing the text, the author intends to tell us ________

      1. A.
        why you should change when you move to a new city
      2. B.
        how you can make new friends in a new city
      3. C.
        why you should make new friends in a new city

    You have a nice salary, but you still feel short of money. At the end of each month, you often ask yourself, “Where has all my money gone”? To help you better run your salary, here come some money-saving tips.
    First, you need to set goals to encourage yourself to save money. For example, you plan to have a good dress in one year, to have a car in two years’ time or to buy a house in five years.
    Second, form money-saving habits and stay away from the ones that waste money. Learn to keep a diary of how much you spend and what it’s for. Think twice before using money on expensive skin care products(护肤品). The best way to keep your skin in good condition is enough sleep.
    Third, pay attention to your daily things. Leave no more than one light on when you leave home. Buy vegetables from a market where vegetables are less expensive and fresher, not a supermarket. When going to a supermarket, take a notebook with you. Write down what you want to buy.
    Fourth, save your social life. Take the dishes that haven’t been eaten up away for next day when you have dinner in a restaurant. When it’s your turn to offer a meal, invite your friends to your home, and cook the dinner yourself.

    Memory, they say, is a matter of practice and exercise. If you have the wish and really made a conscious（自觉的）effort, then you can quite easily improve your ability to remember things. But even if you are successful, there are times when your memory seems to play tricks on you.
    Sometimes you remember things that really did not happen. One morning last week, for example, I got up and found that I had left the front door unlocked all night, yet I clearly remember locking it carefully the night before.

One day last month, for example, I was sitting in a barber（理发师）shop waiting for my turn to get a haircut, and suddenly I realized that I had got a haircut two days before at the barber shop across the street from my office.
    We always seem to find something funny and amusing（有趣的）in incidents caused by people’s forgetfulness or absent-mindedness. Stories about absent-minded professors have been told for years, and we never got tired of hearing new ones. Unfortunately, however, absent-mindedness is not always funny. There are times when “trick” of our memory can cause us great trouble

    If you are lost in the mountains, stay calm in the face of darkness, loneliness, and the unknown. It will greatly increase your chances of survival. Many people think that   preparing necessary equipment and knowing how to use it are very important, but in fact eighty percent of mountain survival is your reaction(反应) to fear.
    Finding a hiding place
    Unnecessary labor (劳动) will make you sweat and make you cold. Find a hiding place around you before trying to start your own construction. If you are in a snow-covered area, you may be able to dig a cave in deep snow for protection from the wind. You should try to hide yourself in the middle of the mountain if possible. Stay out of the valleys--- cold air falls, and the valley floor can be the coldest area on the mountain.
    Signal(发信号) rescuers for help
    The best time to signal rescuers is during the day. Signal for help from the highest point possible--- it will be easier for rescuers to see you, and any sound you make will travel farther. If you take a box of matches and a space blanket ( a special blanket for traveling ), build three smoky fires and put your blanket ---gold side facing out --- on the ground.
    Do not walk away
    It will make finding you more difficult , as search teams will be trying to follow your path and may miss you if you have gone off in a different direction. Searchers often end up finding a car with no one in it. If you get frostbitten(冻伤) , do not rewarm the affected area until you are out of danger.
    You can walk on frostbitten(冻伤) feet, but once you warm the area and can feel the pain, you will not want to walk anywhere. Try to protect the frostbitten area and keep it dry until you are rescued

    1. 1.

      When lost in the mountains, you can increase your chances of survival if you _____

      1. A.
        take a space blanket with you
      2. B.
        do more physical labor
      3. C.
        try to find a car immediately
      4. D.
        walk as far as possible
    2. 2.

      According to the passage, people most probably fail to survive if they ______

      1. A.
        do not take enough equipment
      2. B.
        stay in the middle of the mountain
      3. C.
        do not keep themselves warm
      4. D.
        stay in a snow-covered area
    3. 3.

      What can we infer from the passage?

      1. A.
        Don’t travel by yourself
      2. B.
        Mountain traveling is dangerous
      3. C.
        Don’t get frightened in danger
      4. D.
        Avoid going to unfamiliar places
    4. 4.

      Which statement is not true according to the passage?

      1. A.
        If lost in the mountains, you must try to find a way out quickly
      2. B.
        Stay out of the valleys when looking for a hiding place
      3. C.
        The best time to signal rescuers is during the day
      4. D.
        With a space blanket, you can put it on the ground---gold side facing out
