After spending a year in Brazil on a student exchange program, her mother recalled(回忆), Marie Colvin returned home to find that her classmates had narrowed down their college choices. “Everyone else was already admitted to college,” her mother, Rosemarie Colvin, said from the family home. “So she took our car and drove up to Yale and said, ‘You have to let me in .’ ”
“Impressed--she was a National Merit (全国英才) finalist who had picked up Portuguese in Brazil. Yale did, admitting her to the class of 1978, where she started writing for the Yale Daily News and decided to be a journalist,” her mother said.
On Wednesday, Marie Colvin, 56, an experienced journalist for The Sunday Times of London, was killed as Syrian forces shelled(炮击) the city of Homs. She was working in a temporary media center that was destroyed in the attack.
“She was supposed to leave Syria on Wednesday”, Mrs. Colvin said. “Her editor told me he called her yesterday and said it was getting too dangerous and they wanted to take her out. She said she was doing a story and she wanted to finish it.”
Mrs. Colvin said it was pointless to try to prevent her daughter from going to conflict (冲突)zones. “If you knew my daughter,” she said, “it would have been such a waste of words. She was determined, she was enthusiastic about what she did, it was her life. There was no saying ‘Don’t do this.’ This is who she was, absolutely who she was and what she believed in: cover the story, not just have pictures of it, but bring it to life in the deepest way you could.” “So it was not a surprise when she took an interest in journalism,” her mother said.

Although many Chinese students say their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. 1._________ However, their spoken English does not have to remain poor. I would suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.
First, 2. Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary. However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary if your attitude is positive. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.
Second, 3._.Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY. You want to get your message across, to talk to someone in English, as quickly and as well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesn't matter because the person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowance for any mistakes he hears.
Third, 4._ .You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.
Fourth,5._ .Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English, they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their spoken English always remains poor. If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.

There are many older people in the world and there will be many more. A littleknown fact is that over 60 percent of the older people live in developing countries. According to the World Health Organization,by 2020 there will be 1 billion,with over 700 million living in developing countries.
It is a surprising fact that the population ageing is particularly rapid in developing countries. For example,it took France 115 years for the proportion of older people to double from 7 percent to 14 percent. It is estimated(估计) to take China a mere 27 years to achieve this same increase.
What are the implications(暗指) of these increased numbers of older folk?One of the biggest worries for governments is that the longer people live,the more likelihood there is for diseases and for disability. Attention is being paid to the need to keep people as healthy as possible,including during old age,to lessen the financial burden on the state.
Another significant problem is the need for the younger generations to understand and value the older people in their society. In some African countries,certainly in Asia,older people are respected and regarded as the ones with special knowledge. Yet traditions are fading away daily,which does not ensure the continued high regard of older people. As society changes, attitudes will change.
Much needs to be done to get rid of age discrimination (歧视) in employment. Lifelong learning programs need to be provided to enable older people to be active members in a country’s development.
Social security policies need to be established to provide adequate income protection for older people. Both public and private schemes are vital in order to build a suitable safety net.
To achieve equality in such matters will take considerable time and effort. One thing is sure:there is no time to be lost.
1.The proportion(比例)of older people________.
A. is bigger in developed countries than in developing countries
B. is one seventh of the population in developing countries
C. will increase much faster in China than in France
D. will be sixty percent in developing countries by 2020
2.According to the passage,which of the following are governments most worried about?
A. The diseases and disability of older people.
B. The longer life and good health of people.
C. The loss of taxes on older people.
D. The increasing respect for older people.
3.Which of the following measures is NOT mentioned to solve the population ageing problem?
A. Getting rid of age discrimination in employment.
B. Ensuring adequate income protection for older people.
C. Providing free health care for sick older people.
D. Supplying lifelong learning programs to older people.
4.The author concludes in the last paragraph that________.
A. governments have spent lots of time in solving the ageing problem
B. population ageing is a hard problem,but it needs to be solved urgently
C. people are too busy to solve the population ageing problem
D. much time and effort will be lost in solving the ageing problem

B Want to add some hours to your day? Ok,you probably can't change the fabric of time.But a new study suggests that the way you feel about your goal can change your concept of time and that some simple strategies could make you feel less rushed.
In a series of experiments,Jordan Etkin,a professor of marketing at Duke,and her co?authors,Loannis Evangelidis and Jennifer Aaker,looked at what happens when people see their goals as conflicting with one another.In one,they asked some participants to list two of their goals that they felt were in conflict,and others simply to list two of their goals.Those who were forced to think about conflicting aims felt more time pressure than those who weren't.In another experiment,the researchers gave participants a similar prompt regarding goal conflict,but this time measured their anxiety levels as well as their attitudes toward time.They found that participants who thought about conflicting goals had more anxiety than those who didn't,and that this,in turn,led to feelings of being short on time.
“Stress and anxiety and time pressure are closely linked concepts,” D.Etkin explained.“When we feel more stress and anxiety in relation to our personal goals,that manifests(表现) as a sense of having less time.”
Technological advances that allow people to do lots of things at once may increase the feeling of goal conflict,she said.
“I think the easier it is for us to try to deal with a lot of these things at the same time,” she said,“the more opportunity there is for us to feel this conflict between our goals.”
She isn't the first to suggest that actual busyness isn't the only thing that can make us feel busy.At the Atlantic,Derek Thompson wrote that “as a country,we're working less than we did in the 1960s and 1980s.” He offered a number of possible reasons some Americans still feel so overworked,including “the fluidness(不固定性) of work and leisure.” As he put it:
“The idea that work begins and ends at the office is wrong.On the one hand,flexibility is nice.On the other,mixing work and leisure together creates an always?on expectation that makes it hard for white?collar workers to escape the shadow of work responsibilities.”
And Brigid Schulte writes in her 2014 book Overwhelmed: How to Work,Love,and Play When No One Has the Time that some researchers believe “time has no sharp edges.What often matters more than the activity we're doing at a moment in time,they have found,is how we feel about it.
Our_concept_of_time_is,_indeed,_our_reality.”
Fortunately,Dr.Etkin and her team did find ways of making us feel better about time—or,at least,of reducing the negative influence of goal conflict.When participants performed a breathing exercise that reduced their anxiety,the impact of such conflict on their perception of time was less pronounced.Reframing anxiety as excitement (by reading the phrase “I am excited!” aloud several times) had a similar effect.
Breathing and reframing may not solve everyone's time problems—Ms.Schulte writes that some Americans are indeed working more than they used to.She cites the work of the sociologists Michael Hout and Caroline Hanley,who have “found that working parents combined put in 13 more hours a week on the job in 2000 than they did in 1970.That's 676 hours of additionally paid work a year for a family.And that's on top all the unpaid hours spent caring for children and keeping the house together.” Sometimes,we may feel short on time because we actually are.However,Dr.Etkin believes her findings suggest we may “have the ability to influence our experience of time more than we think we do.”
“We're all going to have times in our lives when our goals seem to be in more conflict than others,” she said.But with techniques like the ones her team tested,“we really can help ourselves feel like we have more time.”
1.What makes people feel rushed today?
A.Goal conflict.
B.High pressure.
C.Too much expectation.
D.Lack of exercise.
2.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Most people are having less work to do nowadays.
B.People under a lot of stress have a better sense of time.
C.Technological advances allow people to feel less stressed.
D.The flexibility of work increases white?collar workers' pressure.
3.The underlined sentence “Our concept of time is,indeed,our reality.” means ________.
A.we should make full use of time
B.we value time more than the way we live
C.we can feel better about time if we want to
D.we don't have the time to enjoy life in reality

What will power your house in the future?Nuclear,wind,or solar power?According to scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US,it might be leaves — but artificial (人造的) ones.
Natural leaves are able to change sunlight and water into energy. It is known as photosynthesis (光合作用).Now researchers have found a way to imitate this seemingly simple process.
The artificial leaf developed by Daniel Nocera and his colleagues at MIT can be seen as a special silicon chip with catalysts (催化剂).Similar to natural leaves,it can split water into hydrogen and oxygen when put into a bucket of water. The hydrogen and oxygen gases are then stored in a fuel cell,which uses those two materials to produce electricity,located either on top of a house or beside the house.
Though the leaf is only about the shape of a poker card,scientists claimed that it is promising to be an inexpensive source of electricity in developing countries. “One can imagine villages in India and Africa not long from now purchasing an affordable basic power system based on this technology,” said Nocera at a conference of the American Chemical Society.
The artificial leaf is not a new idea. The first artificial leaf was invented in 1997 but was too expensive and unstable for practical use. The new leaf,by contrast,is made of cheap materials,easy to use and highly stable. In laboratory studies,Nocera showed that an artificial leaf prototype (原型) could operate continuously for at least 45 hours without a drop in activity.
The wonderful improvements come from Nocera's recent discovery of several powerful,new and inexpensive catalysts. These catalysts make the energy transformation inside the leaf more efficient with water and sunlight. Right now,the new leaf is about 10 times more efficient at carrying out photosynthesis than a natural one. Besides,the device can run in whatever water is available;that is,it doesn't need pure water. This is important for some countries that don't have access to pure water.
With the goal to “make each home its own power station” and “give energy to the poor”,scientists believe that the new technology could be widely used in developing countries,especially in India and rural China.
1.Which of the following orders correctly shows how the artificial leaf is used to produce electricity?
a.artificial leaves split water into hydrogen and oxygen
b.the hydrogen and oxygen gases are stored in a fuel cell
c.the artificial leaves are put in water
d.the fuel cell uses hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity
A.c,a,b,d B.c,b,a,d
C.b,c,a,d D.c,a,d,b
2.The purpose of the scientists at MIT in developing the new artificial leaf is to________.
A.build up more power stations in the world
B.provide cheaper energy for developing countries
C.offer people in developing countries access to pure water
D.gain a deeper understanding of the photosynthesis process
3.The main idea of this passage is ________.
A.an introduction to the history of artificial leaves
B.a mixture of water power and solar energy
C.giving energy to the poor
D.an invention copying photosynthesis
