14.Promotion at work can be good for the pocket.However,it can also be very risky for a person's mental health,according to British researchers from the University of Warwick in Coventry.
The new findings go strongly against the common belief that advancement in a career can result in better health because of an increased sense of self-confidence,life control and overall well-being(幸福感)."Getting a promotion at work is not as great as many people may think.Our research finds that the mental health of managers typically deteriorates after a job promotion and goes beyond merely a short-term change in a way,"said Chris Boyce,the researcher of the University of Warwick.He also added that they could not find any health benefits in individuals who had had job promotions.Instead,these people don't go to hospital to have health checks as often as they should,which may be something to worry about rather than celebrate.
To find out whether there is a connection between job advancement and physical health,Boyce and his team used data from the British Household Panel Survey.The data contained information on nearly 1,000 recently promoted individuals in the United Kingdom.And the data contained information on many aspects of life,including work and self-reported health.After analyzing all the available information,they discovered that there was no evidence of improved physical health after a job promotion.
However,what the researchers did find was evidence of greater mental stress.The experts found that promotion gives people,on average,10 percent more mental stress and up to 20 percent less time to visit their doctors in the event of illness.Matt Smith,a Scottish health expert,said mental stress is caused by working long hours.He said,"When someone is promoted there might be even more pressure to work longer hours and therefore they can't afford the time to care about their health."
63.According to the text we can learn that work promotionD.
A.is traditionally believed to be harmful to people's health
B.decreases people's self-confidence and happiness
C.gives people more chances to have health checks
D.can help raise people's income to some extent
64.The underlined word"deteriorates"in the second paragraph means"becomesD".
A.satisfying     B.doubtful      C.optimistic    D.worse
65.What do we know from Boyce's research?A
A.It analyzed many aspects of the promoted individuals'lives.
B.It surveyed 1,000 people in the world.
C.It showed how people gained work promotion.
D.It proved that work promotion may lead to a short-term change in health.
66.From the last paragragh we can learn thatA.
A.people who are promoted suffer from increased mental stress
B.the work after promotion will take up 20 percent of people's leisure time
C.promoted individuals tend to pay more attention to their health
D.poor health condition makes promoted individuals feel stressed
67.What is the best title for this text?B
A.Work Promotion Helps Increase Self-Confidence
B.Work Promotion Is Actually Bad for One's Health
C.Work Promotion Means Having to Work Harder
D.Work Promotion Brings Wealth and Health.

19.In the animal kingdom,weakness can bring about aggression in other animal.This sometimes happens with humans also.But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people.I see it every day when people hold doors for me,pour cream into my coffee,or help me to put on my coat.And I have discovered that it makes them happy.
From my wheelchair experience,I see the best in people,bur sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily.They don't get to see this soft side of others often,we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness,which includes a lot of pretending.But only when we stop pretending we're brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that's in them.
Last month,when I was driving home on a busy highway,I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual.People behind me began to get impatient and angry,with some speeding up alongside me,horning (按喇叭) or even shouting at me.At the moment I decided to do something I had never done.I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.
No more angry shouts and no more horns!
When I put on my flashlights,I was saying to other drivers,"I have a problem here.I am weak and doing the best I can."And everyone understood.Instead of getting impatient and angry,they waited,knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.
Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don't feel that way.More often it would be better if we don't pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared.

41.The author has discovered that people will feel happy whenA.
A.they offer their help           
B.they receive others'help
C.they feel others'kindness      
D.they show their weakness
42.The author feels sad sometimes becauseD.
A.he has a soft heart               
B.he relies much on others
C.some people pretend to be kind    
D.some people fail to see the kindness in others
43.What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights?B
A.They speed up to pass.
B.They waited with patience.
C.They tried their best to help.
D.They put on their flashlights too.
44.In this passage,the author advises us toC.
A.handle problems by ourselves     
B.accept help from others
C.admit our weakness

2.An Australian man who has been donating his extremely rare kind of blood for 56years has saved the lives of more than two million babies.
James Harrison has an antibody in his plasma that stops babies dying from Rhesus disease,a form of severe anaemia.He has enabled countless mothers to give birth to healthy babies,including his own daughter,Tracey,who had a healthy son thanks to her father's blood.
Mr.Harrison has been giving blood every few weeks since he was 18years old and has now racked up a total of 984donations.When he started donating,his blood was deemed so special that his life was insured for one million Australian dollars.
He was also nicknamed the"man with the golden arm"or the"man in  two million".He said:"I've never thought about stopping.Never."He made a pledge to be a donor aged 14after undergoing major chest surgery in which he needed 13litres of blood."I was in hospital for three months,"he said."The blood I received saved my life so I made a pledge to give blood when I was 18."
Just after he started donating he was found to have the rare and life-saving antibody in his blood.At the time,thousands of babies in Australia were dying each year of Rhesus disease.Other newborns suffered permanent brain damage because of the condition.The disease creates an incompatibility between the mother's blood and her unborn baby's blood.It stems from one having Rh-positive blood and the other Rh-negative.
His blood has since led to the development of a vaccine called Anti-D.After his blood type was discovered,Mr.Harrison volunteered to undergo a series of tests to help develop the Anti-D vaccine."They insured me for a million dollars so I knew my wife Barbara would be taken care of,"he said."I wasn't scared.I was glad to help.I had to sign every form going and basically sign my life away."
Mr.Harrison is Rh-negative and was given injections of Rh-positive blood.It was found his plasma could treat the condition and since then it has been given to hundreds of thousands of women.It has also been given to babies after they are born to stop them developing the disease.
It is estimated he has helped save 2.2million babies so far.Mr.Harrison is still donating every few weeks now.

45.How old is James Harrison?C
A.56  B.70  C.74  D.78
46.What does the underlined phrase"two million"refer to?A
A.babies  B.mothers  C.dollars  D.all of the above
47.Why did James decide to donate his blood?BecauseD.
A.his daughter asked him to help her son
B.he has a golden arm worth a million dollars
C.a vaccine called Anti-D is to be developed
D.someone else's blood saved his life
48.The sentence"The disease creates an incompatibility between the mother's blood and her unborn baby's blood"(underlined in Paragraph 5)suggests thatB.
A.babies suffer permanent brain damage before born
B.the mother and the baby have different types of blood

9.Should Smoking Be Banned in Public Places?
Saki Kwoda,24
Schoolteacher (Japanese nonsmoker)
Yes.It should be banned.Smoking is not only bad for the smoker's health,but also for nonsmokers through passive smoking.In public people should think about others.
Alex Wright,23
Teacher (American nonsmoker)
I don't smoke.However,I don't really care if people smoke around me.Leave them alone. They have the right,and let them be.
Masako Imai,24
Phone engineer (Japanese smoker)
I smoke but I think it should be banned,I really want to give up and I think that if everywhere became nonsmoking,it would make it much easier for me to do so.
Luke Collings,35
Musician (British smoker)
I'm a smoker but am against others having to share my addiction.It's only a matter of time before society wakes up and realizes how addictive and destructive nicotine is.
Jenny Wilcox,31
Civil servant (British smoker)
I smoke but I agree with a ban.It forces people,including me,to smoke less.I'm from London,and although smokers were against the ban at first,it now feels totally normal.
Chris Kennedy,23
Student (British nonsmoker)
Walking past a smoking area,like the one by Hachiko,feels and smells absolutely awful.At least if smokers could smoke anywhere,then it would be spread out.

19.Are you working on your typing skills to make you become a more efficient worker?That may be all for nothing as Intel believes that we will be able to manage our computers with our brains by 2020.
Intel and its research partners are studying how the brain acts when it thinks.For example,scientists have found that people's brains react in a similar way when they are asked to think of a bear.Through some equipment that can also find this sort of brain activity,Intel thinks that it will be able to read and translate this into an input system tanks to an implantable chip in the brain.
"We are trying to prove you can do interesting things with brain waves."Intel research scientist Dean Pomerleau told Computerworld."Eventually people may be willing to be more devoted to brain implants."Even if thinking about a bear isn't enough to show that you want to copy something,Intel still thinks that there is a future in suing your brain instead of the keyboard."If we can get to the point where we can find specific words,you could mentally type,"he added."You could compose characters or words by thinking about letters flashing on the screen."
While this may all sound impractical or even inconvenient for present time,Intel thinks that it's possible.
"I think human beings are very adaptive,"said Andrew Chien,vice president of research and director of future technologies research at the Intel Labs."If you had told people 20years ago that they would be carrying computers all the time,they would have said,‘I don't want that.'Now you can't get them to stop.There are a lot of things that have to be done first but I think implanting chips into human brains is possible."
Make good use of your mouse and keyboard set-up before they're old-fashioned.

64.What can be known about Intel from the passage?D
A.it is researching how our brains manage our computers.
B.it is working on how to improve people's typing skills.
C.It is finding how the brain reacts when it thinks of a bear.
D.It is studying the relation between what the brain thinks and how it acts.
65.From what Dean Pomerleau said,we can learn thatC.
A.brain implants are not accepted now
B.people have no interest in the research
C.mentally typing will probably be a real fact
D.new things need a long time to be accepted
66.What Andrew Chien said can prove thatD.
A.everything is possible in the world
B.man has great power to face difficulties
C.society is changing from time to time
D.man is very good at accepting new things
67.What does the last paragraph implay?B
A.Everything should be used to the full.
B.Mouses and keyboards won't exist in the future.
C.Our brains can take the place of computers.
D.Some new kinds of mouse and keyboard will appear.

6.Rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are a major cause of climate change,and now a new study has confirmed that atmospheric CO2 is also affecting the ocean chemistry and potentially harming sea life.
Montana State University scientist Robert Dore has been researching the water in the Pacific Ocean for almost two decades.
"We've been going to the same spot in the Pacific Ocean,and we try and characterize long-term change in the open ocean environment.And one of the key things that we measure is CO2 levels.And we've been able to record this increasing quantity of atmospheric CO2 into the ocean."
Scientists expected that as atmospheric CO2 increased,more and more of the carbon dioxide would be absorbed into the ocean,affecting the chemical balance of the sea water,with a potentially harmful impact on shellfish and coral in particular.
"As carbon dioxide dissolves in the water,or seawater in this case,it forms a weak acid(酸),carbonic acid,"Dore explains."And therefore,as the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere goes up and that exchanges with the surface seawater,it drives the pH down,and makes it more acidic."
The seawater Dore and his colleagues have analyzed confirms what the theory predicts.
The effect was particular striking at about 250meters down,and again at 500meters.Dore and his colleagues came up with two possible explanations.It could be that surface water picked up CO2and then moved to those depths.Or there could be a biological explanation.
"It's important to realize that the oceans are really becoming acidic.And it can have negative impacts on a whole variety of sea life from fish to coral.It's potentially catastrophic."

72.What can be the best title of the passage?A
A.Sea Life Facing Danger         B.Climate Change Affecting Seawater
C.Oceans Becoming More Acidic    D.Scientist Researching Seawater
73.Which of the following shows the process of the impact of atmospheric CO2 on sea life?B
a.Sea life is endangered.
b.CO2 goes into the surface water.
c.The ocean chemistry is affected.
d.CO2 decreases the PH and makes the seawater more acidic.
e.CO2 levels in the atmosphere go up.
A.a→b→c→d→e  B.e→b→c→d→a  C.a→e→c→d→b  D.e→d→c→b→a
74.Scientist Robert Dore came to the conclusion based onA.
A.his research and analysis
B.the expectation of other scientists
C.some former theory
D.a major cause of climate change
75.What does the passage want to tell us most?C
A.It takes time to make a scientific study.
B.Atmospheric CO2 is doing harm to sea life.
C.Measures should be taken to prevent the potential catastrophe.
D.Robert Dore is a committed and serious scientist.
