    As a man was passing some elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope 1. (tie) to their front leg. No chains, no cages. 2._was obvious that the elephants could, at any time, break 3.from their bonds but for some reason, they did not.

    He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made no attempt 4. (get) away. “Well，”_5. trainer said, “when they are very young and much 6. (small), we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it's enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe the rope 7. still hold them, so they never try to run free.”

    The man was amazed. These animals could at any time escape from their bonds but _8. they believed they couldn't, they were stuck right where they were.

    Like the elephants, how many of us go through life 9. (hang) onto a belief that we cannot do something, 10. (simple) because we failed at it once before? Failure is part of learning; we should never give up the struggle in life.

    How Can I Fight Laziness?

    Lazy people will never amount to anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.

    1._ Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.

    Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more proactive approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone. 2.

    Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations (诱惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. 3. Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film.

    Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately. 4. Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.

    5. Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.

    A. Tofightfamilylaziness,setanexample.

    B. Knowinghowtofightlazinessisimportant.

    C. Onewaytofightlazinessistogetenoughsleep.

    D. Finally,takingexerciseregularlycanhelpyoufightlaziness.

    E. With strong determination, you will be able to achieve your goal.

    F. Laziness sets in when you no longer feel in charge of your own life.

    G. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child.

    For twenty years, I saved all my college course notes and textbooks: that's a lot of paper.

    Worse, it's not easy to carry them around — and trust me, they aren't light — on at least seven moves. Yet I never once looked at them. They sat in our basement, covered in a thick layer of dust. If books and papers could wonder, they'd wonder why they were still under our stairs after all those years. When would the Big Day come?

    Well, the Big Day eventually did arrive; only it was different than expected. My wife, always more accepting changes than I am, finally talked me into clearing out the entire mess.

    The pain I experienced was also unexpected. What hurt me was to come across those terrible papers I'd written, which reminded me of my poor study habits, and an embarrassing lack of comprehension. It was great to get rid of them. But it was also a clearing of personal history.

    At first, I struggled with this. The truth was in the record that my books, my notes, and my papers were primary source materials, documenting an important time in my life. To clear them out was to clear out the truth.

    What I've learned since taking this leap is that the process is more important than the truth. I feel as if much of my real education during my college years isn't in the documents but now in me.

    So I am glad to free myself of this physical burden. And what's better is that I don't need to look back to those painful moments. They belong to the past.

    You might want to consider doing something similar, either under the stairs of your basement or in your mind.

    What is the personal rubbish piling in your life? Clear it out and make your life awesome.

    1.Why was the author finally determined to desert all the college materials?

    A．Because his wife persuaded him to.

    B．Because they were of no use at all.

    C．Because they were heavy on the moves.

    D．Because they occupied space too long.

    2.The author struggled at the very beginning for ________.

    A．a sense of pain

    B．a sense of embarrassment

    C．a sense of regret for the past

    D．a sense of losing part of his history

    3.What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?

    A．The past experiences.

    B．The wasted college?related materials.

    C．The rubbish in the basement.

    D．Physical and psychological mess.

    4.What would be the best title for the passage?

    A．Let It Go B．Sort It Out

    C．Give up the Past D．Forget the History

    College is not just about studying, writing essays and burning the midnight oil in the library. Making friends and enjoying yourself is also necessary for the courses. Parties are social events for students to gather and chat with each other.

    Drinking and music College parties in the US are always lacking in creativity and full of wine and music. The basic form rarely changes — drink until you cannot anymore and play loud music at an earth?shaking volume. There is plenty of beer involved, and some mixed cocktails.

    Creativity in dress The creativity comes in how parties are dressed up. Parties often have a specific theme, like a 90s party or a sports party. At a 90s party, guests might show up dressed like once?famous celebrities. At a sports party, guests might wear their favorite team's uniforms.

    Held in apartments The party is usually held in the apartment of a particular outgoing friend. Everyone will be invited, which means strangers will wander in and out of the apartment where you can get to know and make some new friends.

    Ugly sweater party On holidays, parties frequently take on a proper theme. A popular theme around Christmas is the ugly sweater party. The goal is to wear the ugliest sweater you can find, creating an atmosphere of fun.

    Whatever the occasion is, there will be no shortage of booze. If you are smart enough, you won't have so much as to lose your consciousness. Parties are always better when you can remember them the next day.

    1.This passage introduces ________.

    A．what to wear at the US college parties

    B．how much to drink at the US college parties

    C．how to make friends at the US colleges

    D．parties of the US colleges

    2.The passage is probably written for ________ in colleges.

    A．the freshmen B．the party lovers

    C．the graduates D．the excellent students

    3.The author attaches importance to ________ at the parties in colleges.

    A．creativity arising from inspiration

    B．drinking to your heart's content

    C．communication combined with fun

    D．dressing in a fancy style

    It is a familiar scene these days: employees taking newly laid?off (下岗) co?workers out for a drink for comfort. But which side deserves sympathy more, the jobless or the still employed? On March 6, researchers at a conference at the University of Cambridge heard data suggesting it's the latter.

    Brendan Burchell, a Cambridge sociologist, presented his analysis based on various surveys conducted across Europe. The data suggest that employed people who feel insecure in their jobs show similar levels of anxiety and depression as those who are unemployed. Although a newly jobless person's mental health may “bottom out” after about six months, and then even begin to improve，the mental state of people who are continuously worried about losing their job “just continues to get worse and worse，” Burchell says.

    Evolutionary psychologists support this theory by arguing that human beings feel more stress during times of insecurity because they sense an immediate but invisible threat. Patients have been known to experience higher levels of anxiety, for example, while waiting for examination results than knowing what they are suffering from — even if the result is cancer. It's better to get the bad news and start doing something about it rather than wait with anxiety. When the uncertainty continues, people stay in a nonstop “fight or flight” response, which leads to damaging stress.

    But not every employee in insecure industries has such a discouraging view, Burchell says. In general, women get on better. While reporting higher levels of anxiety than men when directly questioned, women scored lower in stress on the GHQ 12, even when they had a job they felt insecure about losing. As Burchell explains, “For women, most studies show that any job — it doesn't matter whether it is secure or insecure — gives psychological improvement over unemployment.” Burchell supposes that the difference in men is that they tend to feel pressure not only to be employed, but also to be the primary breadwinner, and that more of a man's self?worth depends on his job.

    1.Why do researchers think the still employed deserve sympathy more?

    A．They have to do more work since then.

    B．They have no chance to find better jobs.

    C．They have to work with inexperienced workers.

    D．They constantly worry about losing their job.

    2.What is most likely to cause a “fight or flight” response？A.Not having a paid job.

    B．Fierce competition for jobs.

    C．Not knowing what will happen.

    D．Pressure to work longer hours.

    3.What will the writer talk about following the last paragraph?

    A．Advice on preparing a job interview.

    B．Advice to those in insecure industries.

    C．Some knowledge of psychology.

    D．Difference in men and women.

    4.What could be the best title for the text?

    A．Is It Less Stressful to Get Laid Off Than Stay On?

    B．Should Greater Sympathy Be Given to the Jobless?

    C．Do Employees Bear More Stress Than Ever Before?

    D．Do Men or Women Show Higher Levels of Anxiety?

    I passed my driving test at the fourth attempt. You might think that means I'm not as safe as someone who passed on their first attempt. But would you feel safer with no driver at all? Maybe not, and that's why automotive firms have included driver?assist functions in their driverless cars. This allows the human driver to take over if there is a problem.

    Google is one producer that has prototype driverless cars. These cars have been newly equipped with auto?steering wheels and conventional controls to allow normal driving. But this is just a stage — the vision is to have fully automated cars very soon. The director of Google's self?drive project, Chris Urmson, hopes his 11?year?old son will never have to take a driving test. To achieve that, the cars need to be on the roads in five years. He says driverless cars will greatly reduce accidents and traffic jams.

    According to Chris, about 1.2 million people are killed on the roads around the world each year. That number is equivalent to a jet falling out of the sky every day. He thinks gradual changes to existing car designs are not enough to deal with the problems. “If we are really going to make changes to our cities, get rid of parking lots, we need self?drive cars，” he says.

    Google's prototypes have covered over a million kilometers on the road. They have also had to deal with unexpected situations, such as a child driving a toy car in the road, and a woman in an electric wheelchair chasing a duck. In each case, the car reacted safely.

    Some are not convinced. Sven Beiker of Stanford University thinks driverless cars will still need human input in extreme circumstances.

    1.According to Paragraph 1, what is the author's chief concern about driverless cars?

    A．Functions. B．Safety.

    C．Price. D．Appearance.

    2.Chris Urmson mentioned his 11?year?old son in order to show that ________.

    A．traditional cars are harmful for kids

    B．his son is not good at driving

    C．his son is a slow learner in driving

    D．driverless cars will come soon

    3.What is Chris Urmson's comment on self?drive cars?

    A．They can solve many existing problems.

    B．They are safer than a jet plane.

    C．They can completely change our cities.

    D．They should change gradually.

    4.What can we learn from the text?

    A．Google's prototypes will be tested on the roads soon.

    B．Self?drive cars are not designed for children or women.

    C．Concerns remain about the reliability of self?drive cars.

    D．Driving tests will be easier to pass in the near future.

    It is 7 am and the alarm is going off. You know you have to be out of bed to catch the bus. But the urge to bury yourself in the bed is ever so strong.

    Sounds familiar? Why is it that teens find it difficult to get themselves out of bed in time every morning or stay sharp and focused during the first couple of hours of school?

    During adolescence, the body goes through many changes and these include a shift in sleep patterns. Researchers from MIT have been tracking the body's need for sleep in teenagers. They found that though adolescents need as much as 9.5 hours of sleep a day, they get to bed later and later with each passing year. In fact, the sleep cycle shifts later by as much as 12 to 18 minutes each year between the ages of 10 and 20! So by the time a 10?year?old who sleeps at 8 pm grows to be 17 or 18, his body naturally wants to stay up till 10：30 pm or 11 pm.

    According to researchers, this is because of a hormone called melatonin (褪黑激素) that is secreted (分泌) by the pineal gland — a tiny structure deep inside the brain. Melatonin regulates the body's natural day?night rhythms. It causes a person to become sleepy by lowering his body's core temperature. In teens, melatonin is secreted much later in the evening and continues to increase throughout the night. This makes it difficult for teens to fall asleep earlier as they did in their younger years. Likewise, the effect of melatonin continues until much later in the morning, making it hard for them to wake up early.

    A study found that at least one in four teens is tired and falls asleep in school at least once a week. During sleep, important body functions and brain activities happen. So how can teenagers get their sleep enough? The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that middle and high schools should start later — not before 8：30 am. This should give teens some more time to sleep at night.

    1.From Paragraph 2, we can learn that if you sleep late, the next day you should ________.

    A．stay sharp B．skip breakfast

    C．get up late D．stay up late

    2.What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

    A．The students want to stay up.

    B．The shifts of the sleep cycle.

    C．The pineal gland secretes melatonin.

    D．The adolescents sleep late.

    3.The teens go to sleep later than before because ________.

    A．melatonin is secreted much later

    B．melatonin regulates the sleep time

    C．they sleep a lot in the daytime

    D．they need to finish their homework

    4.According to AAP's recommendation, middle and high schools should ________.

    A．let teens sleep in the day

    B．let the students be active

    C．delay the start time

    D．start later at 8 am
