We know that cigarette smoking kills． So, producers made electronic cigarettes as a safer smoking choice - safer than tobacco． Although e-cigarettes contain the drug nicotine like cigarettes, they do not use tobacco and you do not light them． They are powered by battery （电池）．
However, if e-cigarettes are so safe, why has the United States Center for Disease Control（CDC） seen an increase in telephone calls about e-cigarette poisonings?
The answer is children． Most of the calls are from people worried about children who have played with the devices, In the period of one month this year, the Center said 215 people called the Center with e-cigarette concerns． More than half of these calls were for children aged five and younger． The devices had made them sick．
Tim McAfee is director of the Center's Office on Smoking and Health, He says the problem is regulation． Meaning, the U．S． federal government does not control e-cigarettes even though they contain liquid nicotine． Mr．McAfee adds that liquid nicotine is a well-known danger． Mr．McAfee explains that nicotine poisoning happens when it gets into the skin, gets into the eyes or is swallowed． It can cause stomach pain or a sense of unbalance． And too much nicotine can kill,
Tim McAfee says e-cigarettes do not create the level of risk to people that tobacco products do．He notes that almost 500,000 Americans die each year from cigarettes． "So, cigarettes are the winner in that contest．" E-cigarettes do not contain hundreds of harmful chemicals that are found in real cigarettes． So, the U．S．Surgeon General Boris D． Lushniak has suggested that e-cigarettes may be a useful tool for adults trying to end their tobacco use．
But McAfee worries that teenagers may think electronic cigarettes are harmless． They could become addicted to the nicotine and then start smoking real cigarettes． In other words, he fears that for young people fake e-cigarettes could be a "gateway" to the real thing．
1.What do the producers think of e-cigarettes?
A． Dangerous． B． Expensive．
C． Safer． D． Cheaper．
2.Why did the CDC receive so many calls about e-cigarettes?
A． Parents feared that their children might get poisoned,
B． Parents found the device useless in quitting smoking．
C． Children swallowed the liquid nicotine from the device．
D． Children might get addicted to playing with the device．
3.It can be inferred from the passage that ．
A． the CDC wants to develop a better type of e-cigarettes
B． the government is in favor of the use of e-cigarettes
C． Surgeon General Boris D． Lushniak is a heavy smoker
D． smokers most probably can't quit smoking using e-cigarettes
4.What is Tim McAfee's opinion about smoking?
A． Adults should use harmless e-cigarettes．
B． Smoking e-cigarettes can make a person sick．
C． He claims that regulations should be made to ban smoking．
D． He is concerned about the teens using e-cigarettes．

For his opposition to the system, Mandela was arrested and spent 27 years in prison. He was freed in 1990 and became the president of the country after the first election was held in which everyone could vote.
Mandela was not only a political fighter who attacked with speeches. He was also a trained boxer and fought in the ring when he was young.
“Although I did not enjoy the violence of boxing, I was interested in how one moved one's body to protect oneself, how one used a strategy both to attack and retreat，”he wrote in his autobiography.

My daughter, who is thirteen, is not a emotional person. Imagine how surprising
I was the other day when she told me that she had been given a school friend of hers
a hug every day. That was why she realized the girl “wasn’t getting a lot love at home”.
It seems that she not only reached out to her friends these days but to her teachers
and other children as well as. I thought that was awesome! So, I gave she a card for
her act of kindness and told her all for it. She liked the idea very much that she decided
to find someone else to give the card so they could continue passing it forward!

Brrriiinnng．The alarm clock announces the start of another busy weekday in the morning．You jump out of bed, rush into the shower, into your clothes and out the door with hardly a moment to think．A stressful journey to work gets your blood pressure climbing．Once at the office, you glance through the newspaper with depressing stories or reports of disasters．In that sort of mood, who can get down to work, particularly some creative, original problem-solving work?
The way most of us spend our mornings is exactly opposite to the conditions that promote flexible, open-minded thinking．Imaginative ideas are most likely to come to us when we’re unfocused．If you are one of those energetic morning people, your most inventive time comes in the early evening when you are relaxed．Sleepy people’s lack of focus leads to an increase in creative problem solving．By not giving yourself time to tune into your wandering mind, you’re missing out on the surprising solutions it may offer．
The trip you take to work doesn’t help, either．The stress slows down the speed with which signals travel between neurons(神经细胞), making inspirations less likely to occur．And while we all should read a lot about what’s going on in the world, it would not make you feel good for sure, so put that news website or newspaper aside until after the day’s work is done．
So what would our mornings look like if we wanted to start them with a full capacity for creative problem solving? We’d set the alarm a few minutes early and lie awake in bed, following our thoughts where they lead．We’d stand a little longer under the warm water of the shower, stopping thinking about tasks in favor of a few more minutes of relaxation．We’d take some deep breaths on our way to work, instead of complaining about heavy traffic．And once in the office—after we get a cup of coffee—we’d click on links not to the news of the day but to the funniest videos the web has to offer．
1.According to the author, we are ore creative when we are________?
A. focused． B. relaxed
C. awake． D. busy．
2. What does the author imply about newspapers?
A. They are normally full of bad news．
B. They are solution providers．
C. They are a source of inspiration．
D. They are more educational than websites．
3. By“tune into your wandering mind”in Para．2, the author means “_______”．
A. wander into the wild
B. listen to a beautiful tune
C. stop concentrating on anything
D. switch to the traffic channel
4.The author writes the last paragraph in order to _______．
A. establish a routine for the future
B. summarize past experiences
C. advocate diverse ways of life
D. offer practical suggestions

Plans to expand wind energy into the most scenic parts of Germany are meeting increasing opposition across the country.
Anti-wind campaigners are angry that areas including the forests made famous by the tales of the Brothers Grimm are among the targets for new turbines (涡轮机). For the first time they have formed a national opposition group to thwart the expansion. They say the expansion will damage forests and tourism across the country.
Germany has started a massive expansion of renewable energy since the Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011 in Japan. The government decided to reduce atomic plants and instead increase the opportunities for green power. As a result, solar farms, biogas plants and wind parks are booming. In 2013, 22% of Germany’s electricity was generated by renewable energy. Wind has played a major part in this change, making up half of the renewable energy in 2013, and the public has been generally supportive. To date, a majority of the 23,000 wind turbines in the country have been built in the flat northern and eastern parts of the country. But now the focus of expansion is on the areas of dark forest in the central and southern areas of Germany.
One such region is the Rheinhardswald in the northern part of the state of Hesse. This is the home of the magical tales of Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel and others, made famous in the books of the Brothers Grimm. This scenic place is a magnet, attracting hundreds and thousands of tourists from all over the world. But now there are also plans to build up to 200 turbines in this scenic place!
Ann-Kathrin Blankenberg is a PhD student and an opponent of the plans. “It is not because this is the area of Sleeping Beauty,” she says, “I want the green movement, I want green technology, I don’t want nuclear power--- but they should be made in the right way and not by destroying the forests.”
The campaigners argue that putting wind turbines in this area makes no sense. The wind speeds are low and the area is home to some extremely rare birds including the endangered black stork. Campaigners say building turbines here would be disastrous for the birds.
1.The underlined word “thwart” can be replaced by_____.
A. supportB. prevent
C. increasedD. promote
2.Which of the following does NOT belong to green power? _____.
A. Solar energyB. Wind energy
C. Bio-energyD. Atomic energy
3.What percentage of Germany’s electricity was generated by wind in 2013? _____.
A. 11%B. 22%C. 50%D. 60%
4.What can be inferred from the passage? _____.
A. The author is against building more wind turbines.
B. The public prefers wind energy to nuclear energy.
C. Most Germans object to building wind turbines all over Germany.
D. The central and southern areas of Germany are rich in wind energy.
5.What is the main idea of the passage? _____.
A. Wind parks are increasing rapidly all over Germany.
B. The Rheinhardswald is famous for the tales of Sleeping Beauty.
C. Expanding wind energy into the land of Sleeping Beauty causes controversy.
D. Building wind turbines in the land of Sleeping Beauty area makes no sense.
