         Even as Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda wrapped up a tired appearance before (Jongress, the head of the
    world's largest automaker wasn't leaving his problems behind.
         Toyota faces a criminal investigation by federal lawyers in New York. The company is now being
    investigated. Its US dealerships in difficulty now are facing repairs to potentially millions of customer
    cars that have been recalled. The company is offering customers money back for rental cars and other
    expenses.
         Its lawyers are busy preparing to cope with lawsuits. A new hearing will be conducted. And the cost
    to Toyota's reputation is only now starting.
         Despite back-to-back hearings this week, left to be said were a better explanation for slow actions to
    deal with the faults and believable promises that the problems that led to sudden, unintended accelerations
    will be fixed.
         Toyoda said those changes were being made nearly around the clock, but during three hours of often
    tense questions and answers he repeated that there was no link to the vehicle's electronic systems.
         Many drivers making complaints against Toyota and the government say their acceleration problems
    had nothing to do with floor mat interference (油门踏板故障) or sticky gas pedals (刹车). Outside experts
    have suggested electronic problems.
         House lawmakers expressed serious criticism on Toyoda, the grandson of the company's founder.
         The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is seeking records on Toyota's recalls
    and is conducting its own review on whether electronics were behind the car faults. NHTSA also continues
    to look into steering complaints from drivers of the popular Corolla model.
         Toyota has recalled 8. 5 million cars, more than 6 million of them in the United States.
         It may be a while before car buyers believe that Toyota really makes safe cars.
         Toyota's January sales already fell 16 percent even as most other automakers jumped back from last
    year's bad results. Analyst Koji Endo of Advanced Research Japan in Tokyo said he expects February sales,
    due out next week, to be down 30 percent t0 40. Toyota's sales problem could continue beyond that.
         It will take some time to feel the full effect of this, he said.

         Even plants can run a fever, especially when they're under attack by insects or disease.
    But unlike humans, plants can have their temperature taken from 3,000 feet away-straight up.
    A decade ago, adapting the infrared (红外线) scanning technology developed for military
    purposes and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the
    temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers
    precisely target pesticide (杀虫剂) spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which
    invariably includes plants that don't have pest problems.
         Even better, Paley's Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems
    before they became visible to the eye. Mounted on a plane flown at 3,000 feet at night, an
    infrared scanner measured the heat emitted by crops. The data were transformed into a
    color-coded map showing where plants were running "fevers". Farmers could then spot-spray,
    using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would.
         The bad news is that Paley's company closed down in l984, after only three years. Farmers
    resisted the new technology and long-term backers were hard to find. But with the renewed
    concern about pesticides on produce, and refinements in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get
    back into operation. Agriculture experts have no doubt the technology works. "This technique
    can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States", says George Oerther of
    Texas A & M. Ray Jackson, who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture, thinks
    remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade. But only if Paley  
    finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago.
    1. Plants will emit an increased amount of heat when they are ________.
    A. sprayed with pesticides        
    B. facing an infrared scanner  
    C. in poor physical condition      
    D. exposed to excessive sun rays
    2. In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely, we can use infrared scanning to       .
    A. estimate the damage to the crops      
    B. draw a color-coded map            
    C. measure the size of the affected area    
    D. locate the problem area
    3. Farmers can save a considerable amount of pesticide by        .
    A. resorting to spot-spraying          
    B. consulting infrared scanning experts  
    C. transforming poisoned rain         
    D. detecting crop problems at an early date
    4. The application of infrared scanning technology to agriculture met with some difficulties due to       .
    A. the lack of official support      
    B. its high cost              
    C. the lack of financial support      
    D. its failure to help increase production
    5. Infrared scanning technology may be brought back into operation because of       .
    A. the desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produce
    B. growing concern about the excessive use of pesticides on crops
    C. the forceful promotion by the Department of Agriculture

         Even when you're extremely busy, you aren't using your time with 100% efficiency. There are
    gaps in everyone's schedule where they aren't doing anything important. Even if your schedule has
    no gaps, there is probably lots of time where you aren't working as fast or as effectively as you
    possibly could.
         Why aren't you completely efficient? It's because time isn't the limiting factor. If it were the
    limiting factor, people could work non-stop without breaks or any unproductive distractions(消遣).
    Instead, people, even those who are highly productive, need to take breaks, occasionally
    procrastinate(拖延) and slow down on tasks throughout the day.
         The real and most important limiting factor for productivity is your energy levels to pay attention.
    Energy levels limit your productivity because when you're tired, you can have ample time and still
    not get everything done. Your attention ability is also limited, because even if there are a million
    things that need to be done, you can only focus on one or two at a time.
         You might not be able to insert another 4-5 hours into your schedule without making some
    sacrifices(牺牲). But even extremely busy people can add an hour or two into their schedule
    without cancelling anything. The reason it's hard to "find time" isn't a lack of time. It's because
    you don't have enough energy left to focus on something else that needs to fit into your day.
         I first suspected time wasn't the real problem during an extremely busy period in my life over
    a year ago. I was insanely busy, but at that time I still exercised regularly. I had daily to-do lists
    with over twenty items, and I still found time to exercise. However, after a few weeks off, due to
    illness, I stopped exercising. I was not busy by any standards, in fact, my schedule was incredibly
    light. Despite this free time, I found it hard to find time to exercise. It seemed to get pushed later
    and later into my schedule until it was gone. How can I explain this odd experience? I believe y
    ou have known it.
    1. If someone can't work with 100% efficiency, the most important limiting factor is ________.
    A. a schedule without gaps           
    B. breaks and distractions
    C .the limited time                      
    D. the limited energy
    2. According to paragraph 4, everyone, including the extremely busy people, can ___________.
    A. work without any rest                 
    B. focus on many things at a time
    C. find some more time in a day            
    D.do some exercise regularly
    3. After a few weeks off, what was the change of the writer's life?
    A. He had a longer daily to-do lists with over twenty items.
    B. He stopped doing exercise because of the lack of energy.
    C. He found it hard to find time to exercise because he was busier.
    D. He pushed most of the things later and later in his schedule.
    4. The writer gives the example of himself in the last paragraph in order to ___________.
    A. prove what the real limiting factor is  
    B. show us how busily he needs to work
    C. explain how important a healthy body is  
    D. tell us what an odd experience he has
    5. What is the best title of the passage?
    A. Are You Really Lack of Time?          
    B. How Can You Work Efficiently?
    C. What Makes Your Energy Limited?      
    D. When Should You Do Exercise?

         Even if you are an experienced backpacker or climber, you need to know what to do if something goes
    wrong. It is not that Alaska is that much more dangerous than other places. It is no more hazardous than
    elsewhere, as long as the proper precautions (预防措施) are taken. So, being prepared is important to a safe
    trip.
          First of all, make sure you pack everything you will need for your trip. Even if you are traveling by car,
    pack clothers and gear (用具) for backpacking. Because of the extreme weather, cars break down frequently.
    Pack a coat, gloves, a hat, snow-pants, sleeping bags, candles, a flashlight, and high-energy food.
         If you are traveling by car, also pack extra belts, a spade, and a chain (铁链). If you are camping or
    hiking, make sure you know how to avoid bears. If you are lost in the forest, there is no doubt that you will
    encounter (遇到) them.
         However, there is no need to be nervous. Just take these precautions: make noise as you walk, bears will
    avoid you; cook your food away from where you sleep, and store your food away from where you sleep, so
    the bears are not attracted. Both of these should keep the bears away. However, if you do encounter a bear,
    there are two different schools of thought. One is to make noise and scare the bear away. The other is to
    stand still and speak softly to get the bear to leave. If you are dealing with a brown bear, you can climb a tree,
    since they cannot follow. But black bears can climb. If for some reason the bear attacks, play dead. Try to
    protect your head and neck, and hopefully the bear will leave its “dead” prey (捕获物).

    1. The underlined word “ hazardous ”(in Paragraph 1) most probably means “______ ”.

    A. interesting
    B. dangerous
    C. wonderful
    D. important

    2. The author mainly tells us in Paragraph 2 that ______ .
    A. it is dangerous to travel by car
    B. the weather is always bad in Alaska
    C. you should take what you need for your trip
    D. cars break down often while traveling
    3. All the following can protect you from being attacked by bears EXCEPT that ______ .

    A. trying to make noise as you walk
    B. saying something to the bear in a soft voice
    C. using a club to scare the bear away
    D. pretending to be dead when you are in danger

    4. The passage is mainly about ______.
    A. the tips on a safe trip in Alaska
    B. the very dangerous bears in Alaska
    C. how to prevent your cars from being attacked by a bear
    D. how to protect yourself when in trouble

         Even a small reduction in salt in the diet can be a big help to the heart. A new study used a computer
    model to predict how just three grams less a day would affect heart disease in the United States.
         The result:10％ fewer heart attacks.8％ fewer storkes.4％ fewer deaths.11％ fewer new cases of
    heart disease. And 240 billion dollars in health care savings.
         Researchers found it could prevent 100,000 heart attacks and 92,000 deaths every year.
         The study is in the New England Journal of Medicine. Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo at the University of
    California San Francisco was the lead author. She says people would not even notice a difference in
    taste with three grams, or one-half teaspoon, less salt per day. The team also included researchers at
    Stanford and Columbia University.
         Each gram of salt contains four hundred milligrams of sodium(钠),which is how foods may list their
    salt content.
         The government says the average American man eats ten grams of salt a day. The American Heart
    Association advises no more than three grams for healthy people. It says salt in the American diet has
    increased fifty percent since the nineteen seventies, while blood pressures have also risen. Less salt can
    mean a lower blood pressure.
         New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is leading an effort called the National Salt Reduction
    Initiative. The idea is to put pressure on food companies and restaurants. Critics call it government
    interference.
    Mayor Bloomberg has already succeeded in other areas, like requiring fast food places in the city to list
    calorie information. Now a study by the Seattle Children's Research Institute shows that the calorie
    information on the menu can influence what parents order for their children.
    1. According to the passage, what disease is not related to salt in diet?
    A. cancer
    B. stroke
    C. blood pressure
    D. heart attack
    2.We can tell from the passage that now        heart attacks occur in the US every year.
    A. 240,000
    B. 900,000
    C. 100,000
    D. 92,000
    3. It can be inferred from the passage that           .
    A. all the heart diseases result from eating too much salt
    B. the American Heart Association suggests less than 3 grams of salt a day for everyone
    C. Americans ate no more than 5 grams of salt per day in the 1970s
    D. the less salt one eats, the healthier he will be
    4. The National Salt Reduction Initiative aims to           .
    A. attract the public attention to the problem
    B. require fast food places to list salt information
    C. inform people of the harm that salt does to health
    D. put pressure on food companies and restaurants
    5. The last paragraph mainly tells us            .
    A. Bloomberg has made some other efforts to improve people's health
    B. Bloomberg is very successful in his career
    C. parents must pay great attention to calorie information
    D. a new study is being done about calorie information
