The next morning Jim got to the   5   on time and was led into a large room.He hurriedly found a seat to sit down and took out an out-of-date newspaper,   6   to read it.Soon it was his turn to be examined.When he came up to the doctor, the old man took a quick and sharp look at him.Then in a  7   he ordered Jim to take off his clothes, go straight to a corner and sit down on a chair there.No sooner had he seated himself on the chair than he heard the doctor murmuring to his assistant: “Finished!

“How can you draw such a  9   like that before you give me a 10  check? Jim shouted at the doctor.

Your living room
Feng shui is all about balance. Try to arrange sofas and chairs in a square around a circular table. Avoid an L-shaped arrangement as this leaves a missing corner. The centre of the living room should be left clear. Make sure there is a lot of light, which will promote good energy.
Put plants in the corners of the room, as they attract good energy and will energize your health, but not ones with sharp leaves such as yuccas or cactus. Fresh flowers also bring good energy, but throw them away as soon as they begin to die, and don’t have dried flowers.
Mirrors are vital because they reflect energy. Round or oval ones are best, but they should not be opposite each other, nor should they reflect a door, otherwise your good fortune will go out of it.
To promote harmony between the members of your family, have photos of them around the room, preferably smiling. If you want to find a partner, energize the south-west corner of your living room or bedroom by placing a floor light at least 1.75m high there, and turn it on every evening. Surround yourself with decorations and objects in pairs, such as ducks or birds.
To avoid blocking the positive energy in the room, keep everything tidy. Don’t accumulate too many unnecessary things. Take a look at every object, and ask yourself, “Do I really need it? Do I really like it?” If the answer is no, get rid of it.
Your bedroom
You should have the head of your bed placed against a wall, as this gives you a sense of security. Avoid having a bed under a window, as you are exposed to danger and bad energy from outside. If this is impossible, use blinds or heavy curtains to cover the window. Never sleep in a place where you can’t see the door—you should always be able to see someone who’s coming in.
Avoid hanging pictures or lights above your bed, as this leads to a subconscious feeling of threat. Don’t put mirrors opposite the bed either, as they “break up” the image, and therefore the relationship reflected in them.
Keep lighting low and soft, and decorate preferably with dark colors. Do not hang paintings of fierce animals, abstract subjects, or water in the bedroom. Water is very good elsewhere, but in the bedroom it suggests financial loss. Make sure you never put plants in the bedroom, and don’t have a TV facing the bed, or at least cover it when it is not in use.
Your study
Don’t use the same room for your bedroom and your study, as the different energies will be in conflict. If you have to do this, try to separate the areas either symbolically with plants, or with a screen. Put away piles of files or unfinished work—don’t leave them on your desk. Being tidy promotes positive energy. Wherever you study make sure your desk is in the north-east corner, especially if you are preparing for exams, as this area symbolizes education.
A bookcase is bad feng shui, as its sharp corners generate negative “arrows”, and if you have one you ought to put a climbing plant on it to avoid this effect. Cupboards are better than open shelves.
【小题1】 As for lights, which of the following statements is false?

A.A partner may come with a tall burning floor light in the south-west corner of your room.
B.Good energy can be promoted if there is a lot of light in the living room.
C.Bright lighting in the bedroom can light your mood.
D.It is not a good idea to hang lights above your bed.
【小题2】A bed should be put according to the following rules EXCEPT         .
A.the head of your bed should be placed against a wall
B.having a bed under a window should be avoided
C.mirrors should not be opposite the bed
D.your bed can’t face the door for the sake of privacy
【小题3】To avoid bad luck, the author will probably agree with the statement that         .
A.it is economical to sleep and study in the same room
B.fresh flowers ought to be put on the bookcase with sharp corners
C.blinds or heavy curtains can be used to cover the window if your bed is under a window
D.you can accumulate items as you please
【小题4】 Which do you think is the best title for the passage?
A.Feng shui—a magical power.
B.How does positive and negative energy come to you?
C.Change your room to change your life.
D.How to reorganize your furniture.

  Vladimir Balderas was a 12-year-old boy when he started working in the fields.His workday began before the sun rose and ended as it set.He and his parents labored in the heat weeding sugar beets and clearing rocks from the fields.

  They rarely got a day off.Now, Vladimir is 14 years old and he is still working in the fields.Every April, his family go north to begin months of grueling(令人筋疲力尽的)farm work.“It's hard,” Vladimir said.“It's a lot of work.We have to walk a lot in the fields.At the end of the day, I feel so tired.”

  It is estimated that 250 million kids like Vladimir are forced to work in hard, often dangerous jobs, all over the world.They mine precious metals, weave rugs and work in factories.As many as 500,000 kids in the U.S.and more than 100 million worldwide labor on plantations and farms.What's more, experts estimate that more than 100,000 children and teens are injured on farms each year.They use sharp knives and scissors designed for adult hands.Most of them operate heavy machinery and work with poisonous agricultural chemicals.

  “If you get hurt, there is no one to help,” said Santos Polendo who spent 10 years working in the fields.He had to carry 40-pound buckets of tomatoes in sweltering heat.He often suffered backaches, knee pain and headaches.“Sometimes, the heat was so bad, it gave me headaches for a week straight,” Polendo says.

  In April, Vladimir will travel north with his family to find fieldwork.Migrant families move regularly to find work in the fields.Because migrant children miss so much school, as many as 65%of them drop out.Last year, the Department of Labor cut funds(专款)for migrant-youth programs in 31 states.The programs had provided kids with teachers and resources and replaced income that parents lost when their kids stayed in school.

  The Association of Farm Worker Opportunity Programs is fighting to restore the money for migrant education and training programs and to increase earning for adult farm workers.The group is also pressuring Congress to provide kids working in agriculture with the same protection as other working kids.

[  ]

A.

Bill Javis took over our village’s news-agency at a time of life when most of us only wanted to relax. He just thought he would like something but not too much to do, and the news-a??gency was ready-made. The business produced little enough for him, but Bill was a man who only wanted the simplicity and order and regularity of the job. He had been a long-serving sailor, and all his life had done everything by the clock.

Every day he opened his shop at 6:00 a. m. to catch the early trade; the papers arrived on his doorstep before that. Many of Bill’s customers were city workers, and the shop was convenient for the station. Business was tailing off by 10 o’clock, so at eleven sharp Bill closed for lunch. It was hard luck on anybody who wanted a paper or magazine in the after??noon, for most likely Bill would be down on the river bank, fishing, and his nearest competitor was five kilometers away. Sometimes in the afternoon, the evening paper landed on the doorway, and at 4 o’clock Bill reopened his shop. The evening rush lasted till seven, and it was worthwhile.

He lived in a flat above the shop, alone. Except in the very bad weather, you always knew where to find him in the af??ternoon, as I have said. Once, on a sunny afternoon, I walked home along the river bank from a shopping trip to the village. By my watch it was three minutes past four, so I was aston??ished to see Bill sitting there on his little chair with a line in the water. He had no luck, I could see, but he was making no effort to move.

“What’s wrong, Bill?” I called out from the path.

For answer, he put a hand in his jacket and took out a big, golden object. For a moment I had no idea what it could be, and then it suddenly went off with a noise like a fire en??gine. Stopping the bell, Bill held the thing up and called back, “Ten to four, you see, and this is dead right.”

I had never known anyone carrying a brass alarm clock round with him before.

Bill Javis became a news-agent when _______.

A. he needed the money      

B. he was quite an old man

C. he decided to take up fishing  

D. he gave up clock-repairing

Bill opened the shop so early in the day because _______.

A. he liked to do as much as possible before he went to work

B. the shop had to be open when the morning papers came

C. he was never sure of time

D. it was then that he did a lot of business

From the information given in the passage, who or what do you think was wrong?

A. The bell was-it must have gone off at the wrong time.

B. Bill was-he had dropped off to sleep.

C. The writer’s watch was-it was fast.

D. Bill’s clock was-it was old.
