    Is this a car? Is it a smart phone? Is it a gaming machine?
    Yes to all three. The Toyota Fun-Vii is a pleasure palace on wheels.
    If Toyota has its way, paint jobs could become a thing
    of the past, because it has introduced an amazing car that can
    change its whole look in an instant.
    The Vii in Fun-Vii, which stands for “Vehicle, Interactive,
    Internet” It is a small three-seater car that looks like a smart phone, so it is called a smart phone on wheels．Inside and out, most aspects of the car can interact（互相作用） with the internet and be controlled by a smart phone．The magical car allows the owners to download pictures from their phones onto the outside, so that the look of the car could be changed instantly．The color inside could also be changed to reflect the owner's mood．Just as the company president Akio Toyoda said, "A car must appeal to our emotions．If it's not fun, it's not a car．"
    Its outside and inside are not made of solid paint but touch screens that can display pictures and videos．A network update function downloads all the latest software to make sure the car is always up-to-date, and it can provide the latest entertainment as well as information about its surroundings to the driver．As you drive around, the thoughtful car allows you to communicate with your friends in the nearby cars．It also helps you find your way from one place to another． It's all because the car is networked with all the other cars on the road and drives itself． The smart car is a practical, family sized vehicle fuelled by hydrogen, and it is one of the futuristic concept cars under the theme of "fun to drive, again"．It heralds （预示） a not-too-distant future where people, cars and society are linked．

    They may be small and not able to speak, but babies are proving their amazing cleverness. Scientists began finding infants’ skills are more than they are supposed to be.
    _________
    Speaking of music, babies can’t seem to resist it. Not only are their ears turned to the beats, babies can actually dance to the music.
    To test babies’ dancing ability, the researchers played recordings of classical music, rhythmic beats and speech to infants, and recorded the results. They also invited professional dancers to analyze how well the babies matched their movements to the music. The babies moved their arms, hands, legs feet and heads in response to the music, much more than to the speech. The finding suggests this dancing ability is innate(与生俱来的) in humans, though the researchers aren’t sure why it becomes weaker later in their life.
    Learning Quickly while Sleeping
    Babies can learn even while asleep, according to a 2011 study. In experiments with 26 sleeping infants, each just 1 to 2 days old, scientists played a musical tone followed by a puff of air to their eyes 200 times over the course of a half-hour. 124 electrodes(电极) stuck on the head and face of each baby recorded brain activity during the experiments. The babies rapidly learned to foretell a puff of air upon hearing the tone, showing a four-time increase on average in the chances of tightening their eyelids in response to the sound by the end of the experiments.
    As newborns spend most of their time asleep, this newfound ability might be crucial to rapidly adapting to the world around them and help to ensure their survival, researchers said.
    Judging Characters Well
    Judging another person helpful or harmful is crucial when choosing friends. And that ability starts early. Kiley Hamlin of Yale University showed both 6-and 10-month-olds a puppet(木偶) show, in which one character helped another climb a hill. In another scene a third character pushed the climber down. The little ones then got to choose which character they preferred. For both age groups, most babies chose the helper character. This character-judging ability could be baby’s first step in the formation of morals, Hamlin thought.
    小题1:Which of the following subtitles can fill in the underlined blank?
    A．Dancing to Music
    B．Babies’ Amazing Abilities
    C．Learning to Dance Quickly
    D．Born to Dance
    小题2:The underlined word “it” in the third paragraph refers to______.
    A．the finding
    B．the dancing ability
    C．the response
    D．the baby
    小题3:The experiment with 26 sleeping infants prove that_______.
    A．babies can learn even while asleep
    B．babies can respond to the world around them
    C．babies can tighten their eyelids in response to the sound
    D．babies can communicate with others while asleep
    小题4:In the last experiment, most babies chose the helper character, showing that________.
    A．babies can judge a person helpful or harmful
    B．babies love to see a puppet show
    C．babies were born to help others
    D．babes have learned to help others

    Kelly Reeves was getting ready for a trip when her phone slipped into a sink full of water. Panic moment! She quickly picked up the wet phone and tried to turn it on, but nothing worked. Her first reaction? She got dressed, drove to the nearest store, and bought a new model at full price.
    A new study finds that fear of losing your phone is a common illness. About 66 percent of those surveyed suffer from nomophobia or “no mobile phone phobia”. Interestingly, more women worry about losing their phone than men.
    Fortunately, there’s a solution.
    The first step is to figure out if you have nomophobia. Checking your phone too often is one thing, but the true sign of a problem is that you can’t conduct business or go about your routine when the fear becomes so severe.
    Do you go to unusual lengths to make sure you have your phone? That’s another sign of a problem. If you find you check your phone plenty of times per hour, or a total of an hour per day, there may be a problem.
    Some of the treatments are similar to those for treating anxiety attacks: Leaving the phone behind and not checking e-mail or text messages, and then learning to tolerate the after anxiety. Even if this leads to a high level of worry and stress, the solution is to push through the fear and learn to deal with not having your phone.
    Of course, there are also technological alternatives. Luis Levy, a co-founder at Novy PR, says he uses an application called Cerberus that can automatically track the location of his phone. To find it, he can just go to a Web site and see the phone’s location.
    He also insures his phone through a service called Asurion. The company’s description of its product reads like a prescription for anxiety: “60 million phones are lost, stolen or damaged each year. You’ll have complete peace of mind knowing that your phone is protected and you can quickly reconnect with family, friends and work, as soon as the very next day!”
    小题1:Why does the author mention Kelly’s experience in the first paragraph?
    A．To inform us that mobile phones are useful.
    B．To introduce the topic for discussion.
    C．To tell us we should get phones ready for a trip.
    D．To warn us that we should be careful.
    小题2:The underlined word “nomophobia” in Paragraph 2 means ________.
    A．Fear of losing mobile phones.
    B．Habits of using mobile phones
    C．Independence of mobile phones.
    D．Eagerness for new mobile phones.
    小题3:Which of the following is a way to treat nomophobia?
    A．Learning more about modern technology.
    B．Avoiding using phone for some time
    C．Not using a mobile phone in one’s daily work.
    D．Protecting one’s phone against any damage.
    小题4:Why can the service called Asurion help to treat nomophobia?
    A．It will give you a new phone through insurance.
    B．It lets you know other people also lose their phones.
    C．It gives you a prescription to treat nomophobia.
    D．It enables you to reconnect with your acquaintance.
    小题5:What is the passage mainly about?
    A．New mobile phone technology.
    B．Attitude toward mobile phone.
    C．Solutions to nomophobia
    D．Disadvantages of mobile phone

    Say sorry to your wife---it may help her live longer, according to scientists.
    “Sorry” may be the hardest word, but scientists say it could be one of the healthiest. Researchers have discovered that women who receive an apology for hurtful behavior suffer less stress and possible damage to their heart than those who don’t.
    It is said that the heartbeat of a wronged woman returns to normal 20 percent quicker after a well-timed “sorry” than without it. But for men, their heartbeat takes longer to recover, according to the research.
    The research was undertaken by American scientists using 29 men and 59  women whose diastolic blood pressure was measured throughout an experiment. Diastolic blood pressure
    is a measure of pressure in the blood vessels( 血管 ) between heartbeats---if it is continuously high it can increase the chances of heart attacks.
    The men and women were asked to undertake a difficult mathematical task. They were told they had five minutes to complete it but were disturbed after a minute and told rudely to carry out the task more quickly. They were disturbed twice more before five minutes had passed and told to speed up. Finally they were told, “ You’re obviously not good enough.” Two minutes later researchers said sorry to half of the men and women.
    The researchers found that, on average, the women’s diastolic blood pressure dropped back to normal 20 percent---quicker if they received an apology from the researchers, while the men’s took 20 percent longer to return to normal. One of the researchers said, “Results indicates that the effects of apology and forgiveness on women are greater.”
    小题1:The term “sorry” is considered as one of the healthiest words because it _________.
    A．is the most powerful
    B．can cure heart disease
    C．helps people forget hurtful behavior
    D．can reduce pressure and damage to the heart
    小题2:We can know from Paragraph 3 _________.
    A．women’s hearts beat faster than men’s
    B．women are quicker at making apologies
    C．men can forgive others’mistakes more easily than women
    D．men stay angry for a longer time than women after receiving an apology
    小题3:Which of the following is the RIGHT time order for events in the study?
    a. Half of them received apologies.
    b. They were disturbed a minute later.
    c. They were told that they weren’t good enough.
    d. They were asked to finish a math task in five minutes.
    e. They were disturbed two more times during the study.
    A．d-b-c-e-a B．d-c-b-a-e C．d-b-e-c-aD．d-c-b-e-a
    小题4:The research confirmed (证实) that _________.
    A．men are unwilling to apologize to others for their mistakes
    B．men’s chances of getting heart attacks are higher than women’s
    C．women can benefit more from receiving apologies than men
    D．people can also get healthy benefits from giving apologies

    Whether we’re 2 years old or 62, our reasons for lying are mostly the same: to get out of trouble, for personal gain and to make ourselves look better in the eyes of others. But a growing body of research is raising questions about how a child’s lie is different from an adult’s lie, and how the way we deceive changes as we grow.
    “Parents and teachers who catch their children lying should not be alarmed. Their children are not going to turn out to be abnormal liars,” says Dr. Lee, a professor at the University of Toronto and director of the Institute of Child Study. He has spent the last 15 years studying how lying changes as kids get older, why some people lie more than others as well as which factors can reduce lying. The fact that children tell lies is a sign that they have reached a new developmental stage. Dr. Lee conducted a series of studies in which they bring children into a lab with hidden cameras. Children and young adults aged 2 to 17 are likely to lie while being told not to look at a toy, which is put behind the child’s back. Whether or not the child takes a secret look is caught on tape.
    For young kids, the desire to cheat is big and 90% take a secret look in these experiments. When the test-giver returns to the room, the child is asked if he or she looked secretly. At age 2, about a quarter of children will lie and say they didn’t. By 3, half of kids will lie, and by 4, that figure is 90%, studies show.
    Researchers have found that it’s kids with better understanding abilities who lie more. That’s because to lie you also have to keep the truth in mind, which includes many brain processes, such as combining several sources of information and faking that information. The ability to lie — and lie successfully  — is thought to be related to development of brain regions that allow so called “executive functioning”, or higher order thinking and reasoning abilities. Kids who perform better on tests that involve executive functioning also lie more.
    小题1:What’s the purpose of children telling lies?
    A．To help their friends out.
    B．To get rid of trouble.
    C．To get attention from others.
    D．To create a popular image.
    小题2:The underlined word “deceive” in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by “      ”.
    A．tell liesB．handle troubles
    C．raise questions D．do research
    小题3:From the second paragraph we can know that       .
    A．which factors can reduce lying
    B．why some lie more than others
    C．it is normal for kids to tell lies
    D．how lying changes as kids grow
    小题4:It can be inferred from the passage that        .
    A．children’s lies are the same as adults’
    B．the better kids are, the more they lie
    C．the older kids are, the more they lie
    D．kids always keep the truth in their mind
    小题5:What is NOT included in the passage?
    A．The reasons why kids tell lies.
    B．Which kind of kids tells more lies.
    C．Experiments about lying of young kids.
    D．What to do with lying children.

    Being less than perfectly well-dressed in a business setting can result in a feeling of discomfort. And the sad truth is that “clothing mismatches” on the job can ruin the day of the person who is wearing the inappropriate attire(着装)—and the people with whom he or she works.
    Offices vary when it comes to dress codes. Some businesses have very strict standards for office attire, while others maintain a more relaxed attitude. However, it is always important to remember that no matter what your company’s attitude is, you are working in a business environment and you should dress properly. Certain items may be more appropriate for evening wear than for a business meeting, just as shorts and a T-shirt are better suited for the beach than for an office environment. Your attire should reflect both your environment and your position. A senior president has a different image to maintain than that of a secretary. Like it or not, you will be judged by your appearance.
    This is never more apparent than on “dress-down days”, when what you wear can say more about you than any business suit ever could. In fact, people will pay more attention to what you wear on dress-down days than on “business professional ” days. Thus, when dressing in “business casual” clothes, try to put some good taste into your choices, recognize that the “real” definition of business casual is to dress just one notch(等级) down from what you would normally wear on business-professional attire days.
    Remember, there are borders between your career and our social life. You should dress one way for play and another way when you mean business. Always ask yourself where you are going and how other people will be dressed when you get there. Is the final destination the opera, the beach, or the office? Dress properly and you will discover the truth in the principle that clothes make the man—and the woman. When you’re in doubt, it’s safe to be on the side of dressing slightly more traditionally than the situation demands.
    小题1:What is the passage mainly about?
    A．How to dress properly in a business setting.
    B．How to choose appropriate attire.
    C．Appropriate attire will make a big difference
    D．Improper dress will make a person uncomfortable.
    小题2:Which statement best describes “dress-down days”?
    A．You can wear whatever you like.
    B．People are usually more careful about dressing.
    C．We can’t judge a person’s taste by his clothes.
    D．People’s clothes don’t receive much attention.
    小题3:Which of the following is NOT the rule offered in the passage about business dress?
    A．Dress a bit traditionally if you are not sure about proper dress for an occasion.
    B．Think about how others will dress if invited to a dinner.
    C．For a business meeting and a concert, you should dress differently.
    D．Ask others for advice when you are not sure about what to dress.

    Research by sociologists Scott Coltrance Michele Adams looked at national survey data and found that when men increase their share of housework and childcare, their children are happier, healthier and do better at school．What’s more, when school-aged children do housework with their fathers, they get along better with their peers and have more friends．And they show more positive behaviors than if they do the same work with their mothers．“Because fewer men do housework than women,” said Adams, “when they share the work，it has more influence on children．” Fathers model “co-operative family partnerships”．
    When men share housework and childcare, it turns out, their partners are happier．Wives of egalitarian（主张人人平等的）husbands, regardless of class, report the highest levels of marital（婚姻的）satisfaction and lowest rates of depression，and are less likely to see therapists（治疗专家）．They are also more likely to stay fit, since they probably have more time on their hands．
    And the benefits for men are even greater．Men who share housework and childcare are healthier--physically and psychologically．They smoke less, drink less, and take recreational drugs less often．They are more likely to stay in shape and more likely to go to doctors for routine screenings, but less likely to use emergency rooms or miss work due to illness．
    In both Europe and the United States，Dad is becoming the “fun parent”．He takes the kids to the park and plays soccer with the kids; she stays home．“What a great time we had with Dad!” the kids announce as they burst through the kitchen door to a lunch mum prepared．
    小题1:We can infer from the first paragraph that         ．
    A．fathers usually have greater influence on their children
    B．it's better for school-aged children to do housework with their mothers
    C．few boys would like to do housework

    A．benefit physically more than psychologically
    B．will take the place of women

    小题4:The passage is mainly about       ．
    A．the new pattern of family relations in Europe and the US

    Who is your role model? Normally the answer to this question would be anyone around you who you find truly inspiring. It could also be someone like J. K. Rowling or Martin Luther King Jr. who have proven to be strong and intelligent people.
    However, in today's world, stars are regarded as role models along with the heroes listed above, despite their intentions or actions. Teens attempt to imitate their actions for two major reasons. First, to be fashionable and accepted by popular culture, and second»because stars' actions are so well documented by the media that it seems to grab our attention and turns it to following stars' lives. Much of the reports about stars is shocking and exhibits bad morals or lifestyles that aren't right for teenagers. In addition, almost everything stars do is described beyond truth to make a shocking story by taking it to the next level.
    However, teens must take responsibility for their actions. We can't always blame stars for influencing us. Only you have control over yourself and only you choose to do something. Our bodies and actions are in the hands of no one else.
    Now, who ever said stars are role models? Whether they choose to be or not, stars set examples as soon as they step into the spotlight. With reporters following and recording every move they make, it is impossible not to be watched and then be imitated. These people influence, teens whether or not they want to. Why should someone who doesn't want to be setting an example set one? So，should we look up to them or to people who are true and good role models? It's our responsibility as teens to know right from wrong, and it's time for us to take responsibility for our actions. In doing so，we will lean toward those inspiring people that want to be setting an example, and follow in their steps to be like them. 
    小题1:According to the first paragraph, _____can usually be role models.
    A．political leaders
    B．wealthy writers
    C．people inspiring others
    D．people with great intelligence
    小题2:What are the major reasons for the teens to imitate stars? _____.
    A．Interest in stars' life and expectation of getting rich
    B．Motivation for being fashionable and inspiration from popular examples

    D．Desires to be stylish and great influence from the mass media
    小题3:The author writes the passage mainly to advise the teenagers to_____.
    A．have a control over their own bodies and actions
    B．be responsible for their own choices and behaviors
    C．follow fashionable stars' steps to be more popular
    D．choose right role models according to different reports

    Jean's father was a farm plane pilot in the little farming community in Northern California where she was raised, and _36_Jean was totallyattracted by airplanes and flying.
    In her senior year of high school, her English teacher was Mrs. Dorothy Slaton. Mrs. Slaton was a _37_, demanding teacher with high standards and a low _38_ for excuses. She refused to treat her students like _39_, instead expecting them to behave like the _40_ adults they would have to be to succeed in the real world after graduation. Jean was _41_ of her at first but grew to respect her firmness and fairness gradually.
    One day Mrs. Slaton gave the class a written _42_. "What do you think you’ll be doing 10 years from now?” Jean’s dream was to be a pilot like her father, but as the years went by, she had been beaten down by the _43_ and negative words she got whenever she talked about her career, so she unwillingly gave it up and wrote something else. Mrs. Slaton collected the papers and nothing more was said. Two weekslater, the teacher handed back the assignments, _44_ the students to face it down on the desk, and asked this question: "If you had enough finances and unlimited _45_, what would you do? Please write it on the _46_ of your previous assignment paper.”
    When the students stopped writing, the teacher asked, "How many of you wrote the same thing on _47_ sides of the paper?" Not one hand went up.
    The next thing that Mrs. Slaton said changed the course of Jean’s life. The teacher leaned forward _48_ her desk and said, "I have a little secret for you all. You do have _49_ abilities and talents. You do have access to the finest schools, and you can arrange plenty of finances if you want something _50_ enough. This is it! When you leave school, _51_ you don’t go for your dreams, no one will do it for you. You can have _52_ you want if you want it enough.”
    What her teacher said touched Jean so much! In the following years, she tried her best to realize her dream of becoming a pilot. Although it didn’t happen _53_, she finally became one of the first three female pilot trainees ever _54_ by United Airlines. Today, Jean Harper is a Boeing 737 captain.
    It was the power of one well-placed _55_ word that gave that uncertain young girl the strength and faith to pursue her dream.
