    Pretending to be happy can actually make you more miserable — especially if you’re a woman, according to a new study.
    The research found that women suffered more than men when pretending to be happy. Psychologist Dr. Brent Scott, who led the study, said employers should take note because forcing workers to smile when dealing with the public can backfire. He said, “Smiling for the sake of smiling can lead to emotional exhaustion, and that’s bad for the organization.”
    Dr. Scott said the research showed customer-service workers who “fake smile” throughout the day worsen their mood and then withdraw from work, so their productivity drops. He added, “Bosses may think that getting their staff to smile is good for the organization, but that’s not necessarily the case.” Dr. Scott, assistant professor of management at Michigan State University, analyzed a group of bus drivers during a two- week period.
    The study is one of the first of its kind to examine emotional displays over a period of time and compare the different effect that has on men and women. His team examined the effects of surface acting — or fake smiling — compared to what was termed “deep acting”, or cultivating(培养) positive emotions by recalling pleasant memories.
    Dr. Scott said, “Women are harmed more by surface acting, meaning their mood worsens even more than the men and they withdraw more from work. However, they are helped more by deep acting, which means their mood improves more.”
    Although “deep acting” seems to improve mood in the short-term, Dr. Scott said it’s not a long-term solution to feeling unhappy.
    He said, “You’re trying to cultivate positive emotions, but at the end of the day you may not feel like yourself anymore.”
    小题1:What does the underlined word “backfire” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
    A．Have the opposite effect.B．Lead to conflict.
    C．Drive people mad.D．Help a lot.
    小题2:What can we learn from the passage?
    A．Surface acting is good for organizations.
    B．Men benefit more from deep acting than women.
    C．Fake smiling causes more harm to women than men.
    D．Recalling good memories is a long-term solution to feeling down.
    小题3:The findings of the research might serve as a warning to _______.
    A．employeesB．employersC．researchersD．customers.
    小题4: What would be the best title for the passage?
    A．Solution to feeling unhappy
    B．How to cultivate positive emotions
    C．How to improve workers’ productivity
    D．Fake smiling makes you miserable

    Surgical teams accidentally leave clamps, sponges and other tools inside about 1,500 patients nationwide each year.
    The mistakes largely result not from surgeon tiredness, but from the stress arising from emergencies or complications(并发症) discovered on the operating table, the researchers reported.
    The study found that emergency operations are nine times more likely to lead to such mistakes, and operating–room complications requiring a change in procedure are four times more likely.
    It also happens more often to fat patients, simply because there is more room inside them to lose equipment, according to the study.
    Two–thirds of the mistakes happened even though the equipment was counted before and after the procedure, in keeping with the standard practice.
    Most lost objects were sponges, but also included were metal clamps and electrodes(电极). In two cases, 11–inch retractors (牵引器) metal strips were forgotten inside patients. In another operation, four sponges were left inside someone. When there is significant bleeding and a sponge is placed in a patient, it can sometimes look indistinguishable from the tissue around it.
    The lost objects usually lay around the abdomen (腹腔) or hips but sometimes in the chest. They often caused tears or infections. Most patients needed additional surgery to remove the object. In other cases, patients even sensed nothing about the object, and it turned up in later surgery for other problems.
    To prevent such mistakes from happening, Loyola University Medical Center is becoming one of the first hospitals in the country to use sponges outfitted with bar codes. The new system was brought to Loyola through the efforts of the hospital’s operating room nurses.
    Another effective way is to X–ray patients after surgery to reduce the likelihood of objects being left inside patients.
    小题1:In which of the following situations are objects most likely to be left inside a patient?
    A．The nurses are counting the equipment and the patient is being X–rayed.
    B．The surgeons are doing the last operation of the day, and everyone is exhausted.
    C．unexpected happens and some changes must be made in the procedure.
    D．A complex operation is going on according to the plan made by many experts.
    小题2:Which of the following statements is NOT true?
    A．Such mistakes happen more often to fat patients.
    B．1,500 patients suffer from the mistake all over the world every year.
    C．X–ray examination can help to find the lost objects.
    D．The mistake largely results from stress rather than tiredness.
    小题3:What can we infer from the passage?
    A．Surgical teams aren’t to blame for the mistakes.
    B．Some people never know there is something left inside their body.
    C．Most mistakes happen because equipment isn’t counted after the procedure.
    D．Only some small objects may be left inside the patients.
    小题4:What is the best title for the passage?
    A．Never Trust AnyoneB．A Mistake in the Operating Room
    C．Carelessness and MistakesD．Tips for Patient Safety

    Science, as we think, was born when the Greek philosopher ( 希腊哲学家 ) Thales ( about 640-546 B.C.) asked a difficult question: What makes up our universe?
    No one had a ready answer, so Thales went on studying the earth around him, the sky and the stars. He saw so much water on earth and so much water falling from the sky as rain that he decided water must be the basic substance ( 物质 ) of the universe.
    Other Greek thinkers became interested in this question. They suggested other answers. One said that because air lies around the earth, it must be air that makes up all things. Another said that fire, appearing in different forms, was the building block of the universe.
    The Greek philosophers were feeling their way towards the ideas on which chemistry is based. Centuries later, scientists proved that the universe is made up of certain basic substances. But the list is much more complicated than the Greeks realized. We now know of 103 basic substances which we call “ elements ( 元素 )”.
    小题1:Thales, the famous Greek philosopher, died when he was about _________.
    A．106 years oldB．94years oldC．64 years oldD．46 years old
    小题2:From the passage we know that __________.
    A．Thales asked many questionsB．Greeks were all philosophers
    C．science began long agoD．water and air make up all things.
    小题3:After reading the passage, we can be sure that_________.
    A．nothing ever changes in the universe
    B．Thales decided that the basic substance of the universe was air
    C．the universe is made up of four different substances
    D．the early Greek thinkers did much valuable work for the progress of science

    In so many ways, cyberspace(网络空间) mirrors the real world. People ask for information, play games, and share hobby tips. Others buy and sell products. Still others look for friendship, or even love.
    Unlike the real world, however, your knowledge about a person is limited to words on a computer screen. Identity and appearance mean very little in cyberspace. Rather, a person’s thoughts—or at least the thoughts they type—are what really count. So even the shyest person can become a chat-room star.
    Usually, this “faceless” communication doesn’t create problems. Identity doesn’t really matter when you’re in a chat room discussing politics or hobbies. In fact, this emphasis on the ideas themselves makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversation. Where else can so many people come together to chat about their interests?
    But some Internet users want more than just someone to chat with. They’re looking for serious love relationships. Is cyberspace a good place to find love? That answer depends on whom you ask. Some of these relationships actually succeed. Others fail miserably.
    Supporters of online relationships claim that the Internet allows couples to get to know each other intellectually first. Personal appearance doesn’t get in the way.
    But critics of online relationships argue that no one can truly know another person in cyberspace. Why? Because the Internet gives users a lot of control over how others view them. Internet users can carefully craft their words to fit whatever image they want to give. And they don’t have to worry about what their “faceless” communication is doing for their image. In a sense, they’re not really themselves.
    All of this may be fine if the relationship stays in cyberspace. But not knowing a person is a big problem in a love relationship. With so many unknowns, it’s easy to let one’s imagination “fill in the blanks.” This inevitably leads to disappointment when couples meet in person. How someone imagines an online friend is often quite different than the real person.
    So, before looking for love in cyberspace, remember the advice of Internet pioneer Clifford Stoll: “Life in the real world is far richer than anything you’ll find on a computer screen.”
    (Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)
    小题1:We learn about a person in cyberspace only through  _________________.
    小题2:Why is the Internet a great place for exciting conversation?
    小题3:What makes online love relationship often fail?
    小题4:From the passage we can learn that the writer __________________________ looking for love on the Internet.

    Japanese couples, too busy for a normal social life, are increasingly turning to actors to play their friends on the most important days of their lives.
    Several agencies have sprung up(涌现)offering actors to attend weddings or even funerals.The first guest-for-hire company was established about nine years ago and around 10 agencies now send out dozens of pretend friends to family events.

    Background music may seem harmless, but it can have a powerful effect on those who hear it. Recorded background music first found its way into factories, shops and restaurants in the USA. Very soon it spread to other parts of the world. Now it is becoming difficult to go shopping or eat a meal without listening to background music.
    　　To begin with, background music was intended simply to create a soothing (舒适的) atmosphere. Recently, however, it's becoming a big business. An American marketing expert has shown that music can boost(提升) sales or increase factory production by as much as a third.
    　　But it has to be the light music. Lively music has no effect at all on sales. Slow music can increase receipts(收入) by 34%. This is probably because shoppers slow down and have more opportunity to spot items they would like to buy. Yet, slow music isn't always the answer. The expert found that in restaurants slow music meant customers took longer to eat their meals, which reduced overall sales. So restaurant owners might be well advised to play faster music to keep the customers moving-unless, of course, the resulting indigestion(消化不良) leads to complaints.
    小题1:Background music was first used ________.
    A．in the cinemas and theatres in the USA
    B．in the offices and hospitals in the USA
    C．in the schools and churches in the USA
    D．in the factories, shops and restaurants in the USA
    小题2:An American marketing expert has found background music can __________.
    A．increase sales or factory production
    B．create a soothing atmosphere
    C．make people slow down
    D．make people forget their worries
    小题3:Slow music is useless in ________ in increasing sales.
    A．shops
    B．restaurants
    C．factories
    D．cinemas
    小题4:Restaurant owners are advised to play ________ to increase overall sales.
    A．lively music
    B．loud music
    C．slower music
    D．faster music

    Poverty today is a major global issue. Although there are all kinds of definitions used to explain it, in simple words, it means the inability of a person to even get his basic needs of food, shelter, clothing, safe drinking water, health and education. Poverty can be found in each and every corner of the world, although the causes may differ from country to country. Given below are the main causes of poverty in the world today.
    Overpopulation is one of the main causes behind the threatening of poverty on an individual level as well as a social level. This is simple math. If there are more mouths to feed and less income, definitely much will remain poor.
    Another theory which is used as an explanation for poverty is lack of education. If you look at any of the underdeveloped countries, you will find that the level of education there is very low. Lack of education means lack of employment opportunities, thus leading to unemployment coupled with poverty in the future.
    Moving away from one’s own homeland to another city or country in search of employment leads to poverty too. It may take these people a lot of time to find jobs. Meanwhile they live in bad conditions. The cost of living in the city or country is most of the time too high for them.
    There may be other causes of poverty like the change in business. For example, in America, a couple of decades ago, heavy industry flourished, which employed a lot of African-American people. But now, the focus is more on information technology and health care, both of which employ only skilled and trained people. This has led to unemployment among African-Americans.
    Poverty has many ill effects on society. That’s why steps should be taken to get rid of it!
    小题1:What’s the meaning of the underlined word “flourished” in Paragraph 5?
    (No more than 5 words)
    小题2:Why is overpopulation a cause of poverty today?  (No more than12 words)
    小题3:What’s the situation of education in underdeveloped countries?  (No more than 8 words)
    小题4:What does the passage mainly talk about?   (No more than 10 words)
    小题5:In your opinion, what’s the most significant cause of poverty today? Please give your reason.  (No more than 25 words)

    When you’re an employee of a company, no matter the size, it’s common to see co-workers promoted, or transferred to a different department. But there is another way to move around—by creating a new position for yourself. I did this several years ago, though I wasn’t actively looking for a different job.
    In 2007, I was hired at the Transamerica Life Insurance Company, as a customer service representative in the distributions services department. I processed requests for distributions from our annuity(养老金)policy holders around the country. Someone might have forgotten to sign a form, for example, or might have omitted security information. To solve the problem, I’d mail the person a letter.
    The company had been through several combinations, so in our department alone we had a collection of about 140 templates(模板) for letters related to distributions. The longer I worked with the letters, the more I saw how they could be improved. Some had overlapping information and could be combined. Some had incorrect grammar or needed updating. I also noticed that industry terminology(专业术语) wasn’t standard across all the versions.
    When I told my department supervisor about this in 2008, she agreed that the letters needed revamping. She said I should stop what I’d been doing and start the new work. In a relatively short time, I was able to make numerous improvements and reduce the number of letters to 70. It was an informal job change until a managers’ meeting several months later.
    At that meeting, a vice president who was unaware of my new work mentioned that the division’s entire stock of 1,700 letters should be reviewed. My manager told her that she knew the perfect person for the job—me. The position was still considered temporary when I took on the extra tasks, but I was able to show that the work had value, and I was officially promoted and given a raise in November 2009.
    小题1:According to Paragraph 1, which of the following statements is true?    
    A．The author admired those who got a promotion in his company.
    B．It is no surprise to see people around us change their positions.
    C．The author tried his best to get a promotion in his company
    D．The author was eager to seek another job.
    小题2:Which of the following problems with the letters is NOT mentioned in the passage?
    A．Some information was overlooked.
    B．Some information needed to be united.
    C．Some had grammatical mistakes.
    D．Industry terminology didn’t meet the standard.
    小题3:The underlined word “revamping” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to        .
    A．repeatingB．rebuildingC．improvingD．strengthening
    小题4:The author started to review the letters when        .
    A．he was hired by the company
    B．he was promoted
    C．he was recommended at a managers’ meeting
    D．his department supervisor agreed his idea
    小题5:Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
    A．Where there is will, there is a way.
    B．Creating a position, and earning a promotion.
    C．Don’t let the chance go, when it comes.
