　　For years, there has been a bias(偏见)against science among clinical psychologists．In a two-year analysis to be published in November in Perspectives on Psychological Science, psychologists led by Timothy B．Baker of the University of Wisconsin charge that many clinical psychologists fail to “provide the treatments for which there is the strongest evidence of effectiveness” and “give more weight to their personal experiences than to science．” As a result, patients have no guarantee that their “treatment will be informed by …science．” Walter Mischel of Columbia University is even crueler in his judgment．“The disconnect between what clinical psychologists do and what science has discovered is an extreme embarrassment,” he told me, and “there is a widening gap between clinical practice and science．”

　　The “widening” reflects the great progress that psychological research has made in identifying the most effective treatments．Thanks to strict clinical trials, we now know that teaching patients to think about their thoughts in new, healthier ways and to act on those new ways of thinking are effective against depression, panic disorder and other problems, with multiple trials showing that these treatments－the tools of psychology－bring more lasting benefits than drugs．

　　You wouldn’t know this if you sought help from a typical clinical psychologist．Although many treatments are effective, relatively few psychologists learn or practice them．

　　Why in the world not? For one thing, says Baker, clinical psychologists are “very doubtful about the role of science” and “lack solid science training”．Also, one third of patients get better no matter what treatment(if any)they have, “and psychologists remember these successes, believing, wrongly, that they are the result of the treatment．”

　　When faced with evidence that treatments they offer are not supported by science, clinical psychologists argue that they know better than some study that works．A 2008 study of 591 psychologists in private practice found that they rely more on their own and colleagues’ experience than on science when deciding how to treat a patient．If they keep on this path as insurance companies demand evidence-based medicine, warns Mischel, psychology will “discredit itself．”

(1)

Many clinical psychologists fail to provide the most effective treatments because _________．
[　　]
A．	they are unfamiliar with their patients
B．	they believe in science and evidence
C．	they depend on their colleagues’ help
D．	they rely on their personal experiences

(2)

The widening gap between clinical practice and science is due to _________．
[　　]
A．	the cruel judgment by Walter Mischel
B．	the fact that most patients get better after being treated
C．	the great progress that has been made in psychological research
D．	the fact that patients prefer to take drugs rather than have other treatments

(3)

How do clinical psychologists respond when charged that their treatments are not supported by science?
[　　]
A．	They feel embarrassed．
B．	They try to defend themselves．
C．	They are disappointed．
D．	They doubt their treatments．

(4)

In Mischel’s opinion, psychology will _________．
[　　]
A．	destroy its own reputation if no improvement is made
B．	develop faster with the support of insurance companies
C．	work together with insurance companies to provide better treatment
D．	become more reliable if insurance companies won’t demand evidence-based medicine

(5)

　　Why do human beings still risk their lives under ground and doing one of the dirtiest and most dangerous jobs in this world?A small group of emgineers and robotics experts picture a day in the not-too-distant future when robots and other technology do most of the dangerous mining work．

　　One of the first mining robots was developed five years ago at Carnegie-Mdllon University’s Robotics Institute．It was called Groundhog and it looked like a golf cart,．It used lasers(激光)to“see”in the dark and map given up mines-some of the most dangerous work in the business．

　　The latest model is called Cave Crawler, It’s a bit smaller than grouondhog．and even more Advanced．It can take photos and videos and has sensors that can discover the presence of dangerrous gasses．Amazingly．the robot has a real sense of logic(逻辑性)．If it comes acorss something difficult, it gets monentarily punded．It has to think about what to do and where to go next．Sometimes it throws a fit just like a real person．

　　Myles and his colleagues hope that robots like Cove Crawler will one day be used in rescue(营救)operations“A robot could speed up the rescue process by doing discovery(侦察),”says Chuck Whittaker, a roboties engineer at Carnegie-Mellon．“The robot can go ahead and, with its sensors, report what it has found and whether jit is safe for humans to proceed．”

　　Using robots in rescue operations, though, is probliematic, The lasers that guide the robots don’t work in smoky environments so the engineers at Carnegie Mellon have experimnted with sonar(声纳)and radar guidance systems, and with some success．

　　The English translations of the names of traditional Chinese dishes on menus across the country have caused public discussion about the precision(准确)of the translations．

　　Since more and more foreigners come to China every day, many restaurants around China are providing English translations of their menus．They want to make it easier for foreigners to order Chinese dishes when they travel．Some restaurants also hope that the translations will increase foreigners’ knowledge of Chinese cuisine(烹饪)．

　　But an article in China Youth Daily says the English menu translations haven’t live up to public expectation(期望)．It argues most of the English names of Chinese dishes lack the cultural meaning and attraction of the dishes they describe．Instead, the translations only provide a list of each dish’s ingredients, the article notes．For example, one English name of a Chinese dish appears as “stir-fried mutton slice with Chinese onion and green scallion(葱爆羊肉)”．

　　Because the English translation focuses only on the ingredients, it fails to describe the dish’s rich cultural meaning and charm．The dish’s beautiful Chinese name, “Fo Tiao Qiang(佛跳墙)”, has a story behind it．Buddhist monks(和尚)are required to eat vegetables only, but they can’t resist(忍住)the delicious dish．So they jump over the temple walls to get a taste of the dish．

　　The article suggests that translators provide more beautiful translations of the names of Chinese dishes．It also notes a more vivid(生动的)English translation is very important to provide international visitors with a better understanding of Chinese cuisine．

(1)

Why do many restaurants provide English translations of their menu?
[　　]
A．	Because they want to show their ingredients in dishes．
B．	Because the public expect them to do so．
C．	Because Chinese dishes are popular．
D．	Because it is convenient for foreigners to order food．

(2)

According to China Youth Daily, what is the main problem of the English menu translation?
[　　]
A．	They are too long to remember．
B．	Many of them are not correct．
C．	They lack cultural meaning and attraction．
D．	They are difficult to learn．

(3)

What can we infer from the story of “Fo Tiao Qiang” dish?
[　　]
A．	Monks can jump high．
B．	Monks lived a poor life．
C．	Old China had little meat for people．

　　When asked about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, an absolute delight, which seems to get rarer the older we get．

　　For kids, happiness has a magical quality．Their delight at winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved(毫不掩饰的)．

　　In the teenage years the concept of happiness changes．Suddenly it's conditional on such things as excitement, love and popularity．I can still recall the excitement of being invited to dance with the most attractive boy at the school party．

　　In adulthood the things that bring deep joy-love, marriage, birth-also bring responsibility and the risk of loss．For adults, happiness is complicated(复杂的)

　　My definition fo happiness is “the capacity for enjoyment”．The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are．It's easy to overlook the pleasure we get from the company of friends, the freedom to live where we please, and even goo health．

　　I experienced my little moments of pleasure yesterday．First I was overjoyed when I shut the last lunch-box and had the house to myself．Then I spent an uninterrupted morning writing, which I love．When the kids and my husband came home, I enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day．

　　Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a mix of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work．I don't think that my grandmother, who raised 14 children, had much of either．She did have a network of close friends and family, and maybe this is what satisfied her．

　　We, however, with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area, have turned happiness into one more thing we’ve got to have．We’ve so self-conscious about our “right” to it that it's making us miserable．So we chase it and equal it with wealth and success, without noticing that the people who have those things aren't necessarily happier

　　Happiness isn't about what happens to us-it's about how we see what happens to us．It's the skillful way of finding a positive for every negative．It's not wishing for what we don't have, but enjoying what we do possess．

(1)

As people grow older, they
[　　]
A．	feel it harder to experience happiness
B．	associate their happiness less with others
C．	will take fewer risks in pursuing happiness
D．	tend to believe responsibility means happiness

(2)

What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 5 and 6?
[　　]
A．	She cares little about her own health
B．	She enjoys the freedom of traveling
C．	She is easily pleased by things in daily life
D．	She prefers getting pleasure from housework

[　　]
A．	Psychologists think satisfying work is key to happiness
B．	Psychologists’opinion is well proved by Grandma’case

People who equal happiness with wealth and success
[　　]
A．	consider pressure something blocking their way
B．	stress then right to happiness too much
C．	are at a loss to make correct choices
D．	are more likely to be happy

C．	Success leads to happiness
D．	Happy is he who is content
