In people’s minds．Beijing women are taller, bold，and uninhibited，while Shanghai women are smaller in figure．and always speak in a soft voice．The image(形象)of Beijing women is usually bigger than Shanghai women’s． However, it turns out to be just the other way round after I have worked in Beijing for some time．
Everybody goes Dutch in Shanghai；even at a grand party，but in Beijing it's usually the men’s treat．It is impossible to invite a female friend who already has a boyfriend or a young married woman out, even if you promise to see her home that night．
The conditions of the men in Beijing are no better at a11．All their cells will ring one after another at 12 o’clock sharp at night．The voice on the other end is usually loud enough for anyone nearby to hear．“Where have you been! Do you remember that you’ve got a home? Now who’s with you?”and these three sentences are usually the main parts of the call．
Shanghai women could never understand this．If it’s a Shanghai woman who shouts in the phone，the Shanghai man on the other end must think that she is crazy(or drunk，perhaps)．The Shanghainese go Dutch in life，and they appreciate the independence in both economic and love affairs．
Many of my friend girls in Shanghai are office ladies with very high income．The tiredness of life cannot kill their pride in saying：“I don’t depend on any men．”Thus no men can command them，for example，to force them to come back home before 10 pm．Beijingers do not admire the Shanghai way of life，anyhow．How can a couple be addressed as“a couple”when they don’t know where the other has been last night? They wondered．

Throw the bottles and boxes of drugs out of your house. A new theory suggests that medicine could be bad for your health, which should at least come as good news to people who cannot afford to buy expensive medicine. This new theory argues that healing is at our fingertips: we can be healthy by doing Yoga on a regular basis.
Supporters of medical treatment argue that medicine should be trusted since it is effective and scientifically proven. They say that there is no need for spiritual methods such as Yoga. These waste our time, something which is quite precious in our material world. There is medicine that can kill our pain, x-rays that show us our bones or MRI that scans our brain for tumors.
We must admit that these methods are very effective in the examples that they provide. However, there are some “everyday complaints” such as back pains, headaches, insomnia, which are treated currently with medicine. When you have a headache, you take an Aspirin; when you cannot sleep, you take Xanax without thinking of the side effects of these. When you use these pills for a long period, you become addicted to them; you cannot sleep without them. We pay huge amounts of money and become addicted instead of getting better. How about a safer and more economical way of healing? When doing Yoga, you do not need anything except your energy so it is very economical. Its popularity has spread particularly throughout America and Western Europe. In quantum (量子) physics, energy is recognized as the fundamental substance which the universe consists of. Yoga depends on the energy within our bodies. It is a simple and effective way of restoring the energy flow. There are no side effects and it is scientifically explained.
Opponents of alternative healing methods also claim that serious illnesses such as HIV/AIDS and cancer cannot be treated without drugs. They think so because these patients spend the rest of their lives in the hospital taking medicine. How can Yoga make these people healthy again? It is very unfortunate that these patients have to live in the hospital losing their hair because of chemotherapy (化疗), losing weight because of the side effects of the medicine they take. Actually, it is common knowledge that except for when the cancer is recognized at an early stage, drugs also cannot treat AIDS or cancer. Most of the medicines these patients use are to ease their pain and their sufferings. Instead of drugs which are expensive and have many side effects, you can use your energy to overcome the hardships of life, find an emotional balance, leave the stress of everyday life and let go of the everyday worries. We should definitely start learning Yoga and avoid illnesses before it is too late.

As we all know, the frightening sandstorms had a bad effect in people’s life in Northwest China in the past. On the one hand, that was difficult for people to travel in the flying dust, and which also caused damages to their health. On the other hand, many rich fields and forests were covered with sand before sandstorms. And many roads and houses were even complete destroyed by sandstorms.
To our great joy, many measures have taken to protect the environment against sandstorms. For example, many fields have been planting with trees to prevent the soil from flowing away. Besides, many people immigrated as planned to other places, which they live in their new houses with the help of the government.
In my opinion, all these measures are necessary, and only when they are fully carried out we protect the environment well.

Keeping a busy social life among lots of friends may keep people thinner than spending hours doing some exercises, according to scientists. They say that socializing and meeting with friends help increase levels of brown fat in the body which burns calories to produce heat.
Living in an exciting social environment was found to reduce fat in mice's belly by half over four weeks, even if they ate more. US researchers say that social excitement aids weight loss by turning white fat into brown. White fat stores calories and makes us fatter, while brown burns energy to produce heat. Turning white fat into brown is extremely difficult, normally requiring long- term stay in cold conditions or exciting part of the body's nervous system.
However, scientists from Ohio State University now think that having a busy social life is an even more effective way of changing white fat into brown. The team came up with their theory by studying the effects of various living environments on mice. Those, who lived alongside a greater number of mice, had more space and toys to excite themselves and then lost far more weight over the course of the study than their “couch potato" fellows.
Study author, Dr Matthew During, whose team's findings appear in the journal Cell Metabolism, said, "I'm still amazed at the degree of fat loss that occurs." Explaining how new technology had threatened face-to-face socializing, he added, "It's not just a sedentary(久坐的) lifestyle and high calorie foods, but an increasing lack of social activities." Co-author Dr Lei Cao said，"Loneliness is a potential factor for cancer and death; it's equal to cigarette smoking to a certain extent. Social activities are very vital.
1.What information can we get from the first two paragraphs?
A. Brown fat stores calories and makes us fatter
B. It doesn't take long to turn white fat into brown.

2.Which of the following statement does the text support?
A. Levels of brown fat can be increased by socializing.
B. The mice lacking social life lose more weight.
C. The research findings haven't been published so far.
D. Dr Matthew During wasn't convinced of the result.
3.We can conclude from the text that _______.
A. the fat in mice's belly was reduced because of the relaxing environment
B. a sedentary lifestyle and high calories foods influence people's social life
C. surfing the Internet may influence people's face-to-face communication
D. cancer and death are mainly caused for lack of social life
4.What’s the main idea of the text?
A. Brown fat is beneficial to people's health.
B. Socializing is unnecessarily important in people's daily life.
C. White fat can be changed into brown fat.
D. Socializing contributes to people's losing weight.

I was working with a client who was completely burned out on her career and life and then ready for a career change. As we were talking, she said, “I just wish I had meaningful work. I don’t feel like I am making a difference. I am just wasting my life.” This is the theme I hear most often from clients who have been in the workforce awhile.All of us want to feel like we are making a difference. We want to believe our work means something. The problem comes in defining “meaningful work”. What is it? That answer is different for everyone. For some meaningful work might be helping others organize their office. For others it may mean making a million dollars.
What really matters is how you see it. What is meaningful work to you? Take out a piece of paper and answer these questions. How do you define meaningful work? When do you feel like you are really making a difference? What work have you done so far that feels the most meaningful? Write down whatever comes to mind.
What you want to do is meaningful. It is very easy to start judging yourself as being selfish. Stop! Allow yourself to be honest. The fact is when Picasso painted; he was doing it because he liked to paint. He was not thinking, “Oh, I hope this brings joy to others’ lives.” He painted because he wanted to. When Beethoven composed, he did it because he loved music. Even scientists searching for a cure for cancer are immersed in their work because it fascinates them.
Don’t look down on your work. It is easy to downplay the importance of work that feels meaningful. I remember Tony Robbins told a story of talking with the owner of a major company. The man said to Tony, “I wish I could do what you do because it makes such adifference in people’s lives”. Tony said, “You have got to be kidding! Look at what adifference you make. You provide work, health insurance and security for thousands ofpeople!” Don’t underestimate the value you provide.
Take a look at what you have written about meaningful work. Do you see any themes? How do you wish to contribute to this world? Whatever you choose, remember that the greatest gift you can give is to find work that makes you feel fulfilled and delighted. Respect your preference because giving your gifts to the world, whatever they look like, is the most meaningful action you can ever take.
1.. What does the writer mean by mentioning the famous people?
|
A．Famous people are selfish to start work for themselves. |
|
B．Doing meaningful work requires our interest in it. |
|
C．Interest is the best teacher in learning. |
|
D．Honesty makes for the greatest people. |
2.. When you downplay the value of your work, you tend to think it is ______.
|
A．quite different |
B．very successful |
C．not meaningful |
D．less important |
3..According to the passage, what meaningful job does the writer advise us to take?
|
A．The one which is popular in society. |
|
B．The one which brings you profits. |
|
C．The one which wins you fame. |
|
D．The one which interests you. |
4.. The article is intended to ________.
|
A．explain what is the most important in changing one’s job |
|
B．advise taking an immediate action to find meaningful work |
|
C．suggest we should show confidence and talent in work |
|
D．tell us the problem that the author’s client met |
