    The new science of spending comes to a surprising conclusion .How we use our money may   as much or more than how much we’ve got it.
    Money spent on experiences , rather than material goods,   more happiness.
    Imagine that you wake up tomorrow morning to   $1 million under your bed .What would you do   that cash?
    The money will probably make you think about one thing    all else---- yourself. A large amount of research reveals that money    our selfish sides. We will     much on what that money can do for us alone. Perhaps you are imagining buying a faster car, or even a new house.
    But studies show that goods often fail to deliver      happiness. Fortunately ,our ongoing research     many ways to get more happiness from every dollar you spend .Changing how you spend money can increase your happiness.
    But making these      needs to challenge some of our ideas of spending. It’s hard not to     buying a house as a wise investment. But research shows it brings very little happiness. A study in the United States found that homeowners , on average ,were no happier than  .
    So, working hard to save money for a house might not be such a good idea      it means spending less time with your families and friends.
    And dozens of studies show that people get more happiness from buying      than material things. Experimental purchases—such as trips ,concerts and special meals –are more   connected to our sense of self.
    And experiences come with one more   . They tend to bring us     to other people , but more often, material things are enjoyed     .So social contacts are important to      mental and physical health.

    I have always known my kids use digital communications equipment a lot. But my cellphone bill last month really grabbed my attention. My son had come up to nearly 2,000 incoming text messages, and had sent nearly as many. Of course, he was out of school for the summer and communicating more with friends from a distance. Nevertheless, he found time to keep a summer job and complete a college course in between all that typing with thumb.
    I was even more surprised to learn that my son is normal. "Teenagers with cellphones each send and receive 2,272 text messages a month on average, " Nielsen Mobile said.
    Some experts regret  that all  that  keyboard jabber(键盘闲聊) is making our  kids stupid, unable to read non-verbal cues such as facial expressions, gestures, posture and other silent signals of mood and attitude. Unlike phones, text messaging doesn't even allow transmission of tone of voice or pauses, says Mark Bauerlein, author called The Dumbest Generation: How the Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes Our Future.
    Beyond that,  though,  I'm not sure I see as much harm as critics of this trend.  I' ve posted before on how I initially tried to control my kids' texting. But over time, I have seen my son suffer no apparent ill effects, and he gains a big benefit, continuing contact with others.
    I don't think texting make kids stupid. It may make them annoying, when they try to text and talk to you at the same time. And it may make them distracted. when buzzing text message interrupt efforts to noodle out a math problem or finish reading for school.
    But I don't see texting harming teens' ability to communicate. My son is as accustomed to nonverbal cues as any older members of our family. I have found him more engaged and easier to communicate with from a great distance. because he is constantly available by means of text  message and responds with faithfulness and speed.
    小题1:What is Mark Bauerlein ' s attitude to texting?
    A．It is convenient for teens to communicate with others.
    B．It is likely to cause trouble in understanding each other.
    C．It is convenient for teens to text and call at the same time.
    D．It will cause damage to the development of teens' intelligence.
    小题2:What would be the best title for this passage?
    A．For Teens, Texting Instead of Talking
    B．For Parents, Caring Much for Their Kids
    C．Disadvantages of Texting
    D．The Effect of Communication
    小题3:What does the underlined word "distracted" in the fifth paragraph mean?
    A．Confused.B．Absent-minded.
    C．Comfortable.D．Bad-tempered.
    小题4: The author's attitude to texting is ___________ .
    A．objectiveB．opposedC．supportiveD．doubtful
    小题5:According to the passage,  which of the statements is NOT true?
    A．It is normal for a teen to send or receive 60 text messages per day.
    B．Texting is a very popular way of communication among teens.
    C．The writer limited his son to send or receive messages at first.
    D．When texting, teens don't mind talking with you.

    The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly-held image of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.
    An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past. “We were surprised by just how positive today’s young people seem to be about their families,” said one member of the research team. “They’re expected to be rebellious （叛逆的） and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds; they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There’s more negotiation and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don’t want to rock the boat.”
    So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends. “My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me,” says 17-year-old Daniel Lazall, “I always tell them when I’m going out clubbing. As long as they know what I’m doing, they’re fine with it.” Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees. “Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as I’d done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that.”
    Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenage rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments, “Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over.”
    小题1:What is the popularly- held image of teenagers?
    A．They worry about their school life.
    B．They live in harmony with their parents.
    C．They have to be locked in to avoid making troubles.
    D．They quarrel a lot with their parents.
    小题2:The study shows that teenagers don’t want to ______.
    A．share family responsibilityB．cause trouble in their families
    C．go boating with their familyD．make family decisions
    小题3:Compared with parents of 30 years ago, today’s parents______．
    A．go to clubs more often with their children
    B．are much stricter with their children
    C．care less about their children’s life
    D．give their children more freedom
    小题4:According to the author, teenage rebellion _______．
    A．may be a false beliefB．is common nowadays
    C．is based on real factsD．resulted from changes in families

    Interest in pursuing international careers has soared (increased sharply) in recent years, enhanced by chronic (lasting) personnel shortages that are causing companies to search beyond their home borders for talents.
    Professionals seek career experience outside of their home countries for a variety of reasons. They may feel the need to recharge their batteries with a new challenge. They may want a position with more responsibility that encourages creativity and initiative. Or they may wish to expose their children to another culture, and the opportunity to learn a second language.
    When applying for a job, one usually has to submit (present—v.) a resume or curriculum vitae (CV). The two terms generally mean the same thing: a one-or two-page document describing one's educational qualifications and professional experience. However, guidelines for preparing a resume are constantly changing. The best advice is to find out what is appropriate regarding the corporate (company) culture, the country culture, and the culture of the person making the hiring decision. The challenge will be to embrace (include) two or more cultures in one document. The following list is a good place to start.
    ● "Educational requirements differ from country to country. In almost every case of 'cross-border' job hunting, just stating the title of your degree will not mean adequate description. Provide the reader with details about your studies and any related experience."
    ●Pay attention to the resume format you use—chronological or reverse-chronological order. Chronological order means listing your 'oldest' work experience first. Reverse-chronological order means listing your current or most recent experience first. Most countries have preferences about which format is most acceptable. If you find no specific guidelines, the general preference is for the reverse-chronological format.
    ●If you are submitting your resume in English, find out if the recipient uses British English or American English because there are variations between the two versions. For example, university education is often referred to as 'tertiary education' in the United Kingdom, but this term is almost never used in the United States. A reader who is unfamiliar with these variations may assume that your resume contains errors.
    小题1:Companies are hiring more foreign employees because ________.     
    A．they have difficulty finding qualified personnel at home
    B．they find foreign employees are usually more talented
    C．they need original ideas from employees hired overseas
    D．they want to expand their business beyond home borders
    小题2:The author believes that an individual who applies to work overseas ________.    
    A. is usually creative and full of initiative
    B. aims to improve his foreign language skills
    C. seeks either his own or his children's development
    D is dissatisfied with his own life at home
    小题3:When it comes to resume writing, it is best to ________.     
    A．learn about the company's hiring process
    B．follow appropriate guidelines for job hunting
    C．take cultural factors into consideration
    D．know the employer's personal likes and dislikes
    小题4:According to the author's last piece of advice, the applicants should be aware of ________.
    A．the different educational systems in the US and the UK
    B．the recipient's preference with regard to the format
    C．the distinctive features of American and British cultures
    D．the differences between the varieties of English

    It may be one of Britain’s most successful exports – Miss World. This 53-year-old event took place in China last week and attracted over 120 women worldwide with knockout looks in a mad struggle for the crown.
    Traditional values have long kept the Chinese, especially women, from displaying beauty. But Chinese people have now changed their attitude toward beauty contest, although some men will still be shouting that the winner is no more beautiful than his wife or his former girl friend or even his mother in a sour tone. But such men are not shouting for the right reason. The question to be asked is : Why isn’t there a Mr. World Beauty Contest?
    And a further question to be asked is: Does taking part in a beauty contest show a woman’s  courage, wisdom and liberation or rather the opposite – a forced choice and a revolting act made under conditions of long-term discrimination?
    Organizers of such beauty contests claim that the contestants are judged on qualities other than just their physical appearance. But still no answer is given to why there isn’t a Mr. Beauty or a Mr. World Contest? Or at least, why isn’t that kind of contest popular? Why is it that only women’s “qualities” need to be recognized but not men’s?
    Think about who is always standing beside a fancy car on show? Is it a boy or a girl? And this is how “qualities” are judged: if the girl looks good, there is little reason why the car beside her is not of high quality.
    The beauty contests go on year after year, with winners enjoying fame which quickly disappears. While such events go on and on, what never changes is the routine practice that in every fancy car show, a girl stands beside a fancy car. What never changes is the need to hold a women’s conference every year to appeal for the promotion of respect for and improvement of women. What never changes is the fate of women as a class. So let’s put more time and resources into trying to change all this rather than holding beauty contests.
    小题1:Miss World Beauty Contest in Britain has a history of ______.
    A．120 yearsB．about half a century
    C．100 yearsD．about half a year
    小题2:Which of the following is TRUE to the passage?
    A．Miss World Beauty Contest first began in China.
    B．Women were not allowed to show their beauty in China.
    C．120 women took part in Beauty Contest last week.
    D．Miss World was 54 years old.
    小题3: According to the writer,        .
    A．Chinese women are not allowed to display beauty
    B．the winner of Miss World is not as beautiful as his wife
    C．some men are not shouting for the right person
    D．people can accept a beauty contest in China now
    小题4:From the passage we can know the writer thinks that _____________.
    A．contestants’ qualities are more important than their physical appearance
    B．a Mr. World Contest should be held instead of a Miss World Contest
    C．a boy should stand by a fancy car
    D．women’s social status is still low
    小题5:The best title for this passage is ____________.
    A．What about a Mr. World Contest?
    B．History of Miss World Contest.
    C．Quality or Appearance?
    D．A Boy Standing beside a Fancy Car.

    Why Doesn't Anybody Copy Apple?
    Apple’s products are the envy of the world. They have been amazingly successful and are widely imitated, if not copied. The minute Apple launches a product, everyone knows how to compete．This idea that the basis of competition is set by Apple and then the race is on to climb the path of improvement is unquestionable. When Apple releases a product that defines a category or dramatically changes the structure of an industry, it becomes obvious what needs to be built. But what I wonder is why everyone wants to copy Apple's products but nobody wants to copy being Apple?
    I can think of two reasons. Firstly, Apple is not worth copying because it's not successful; secondly, Apple's success cannot be copied because it is a magical process.
    There is a great deal of evidence for the first assumption. The idea of Apple being successful is not something reflected in its stock price. Being valued lower than the average company in the S&P（标准普尔）500 indicates that to whatever degree Apple was successful in the past, and it's not seen by the vast majority of observers as successful in the future. Why should one bother copying Apple if it results in being punished with a low valuation? If one works really hard at innovation（革新）and then that innovation becomes commoditized（商品化）very quickly, why should one bother?
    When innovation practitioners are asked what makes Apple successful, the answers regarding the cause of this success border on the mythical. The fabulous part of this assumption is the " chief-sorcerer" theory of success which places one magician, like Steve Jobs, in charge of casting all the right spells．
    What about Apple's own opinion of what makes it tick? Tim Cook refers to a great team and integration（一体）of hardware, software and services as unique Apple advantages. It's a better explanation. Integration is something that can take a long time, but it is possible with great effort. A few companies are starting to make moves in that direction, but efforts are half-hearted. There is no "move the Earth" feeling to become an integrated company from Samsung, Google or Microsoft.
    My own suspicion is that Apple is more aware of what makes it special than it lets out. However, as Tim points out, it's not a formula. It's complex, it's subtle, but it's not magic. It's a process that requires a degree of faith and courage.
    小题1:When a new product of Apple comes out, often it _________.
    A．ruins an industry dramatically
    B．puts itself in an unbeatable position
    C．starts a revolution of an industry
    D．is soon overtaken by imitated products
    小题2:According to the passage, other companies don't "copy being Apple" because_________.
    A．Apple is not a successful company
    B．they have no access to relevant resources
    C．it's hard to find a magician like Steve Jobs
    D．being Apple takes more than time and efforts
    小题3:We can infer from Para. 5 that _________.
    A．other companies are dedicated to integration
    B．Apple itself is fully aware of its unique advantages
    C．Apple will hold the leading position in this industry
    D．other companies don't have an extraordinary team as Apple does
    小题4:What does the author think of Tim Cook's statement?
    A．Neutral.B．Disappointing. C．Indifferent.D．Acceptable.

    Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today’s star, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the world’s attention. Paparazzi camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature.
    According to psychologist Christina Villarreal, celebrities—famous people—worry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. “Over time,” Villarreal says, “they feel separated and alone.”
    The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B.C., painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.
    Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.
    If fame is so troublesome, why aren’t all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.
    Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.
    小题1:It can be learned from the passage that stars today___________.
    A．are often misunderstood by the public
    B．can no longer have their privacy protected
    C．spend too much on their public appearance
    D．care little about how they have come into fame
    小题2:What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?
    A．Great heroes of the past were generally admired.
    B．The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.
    C．Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids.
    D．Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.
    小题3:What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?
    A．Availability of modern media.
    B．Inadequate social recognition.
    C．Lack of favorable chances.
    D．Huge population of fans.
    小题4:What is the author’s attitude toward modern celebrity?
    A．Sincere.B．Skeptical.C．Disapproving. D．Sympathetic.

    In ancient Egypt, the pharaoh（法老）treated the poor message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace, if he brought good news. However, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his head was cut off.
    　　Shades of that spirit spread over today’s conversations. Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. As we walked light-heartedly out the door, picnic basket in hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said, ”Oh boy, bad day for a picnic. The weatherman says it’s going to rain.”I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Not for his stupid weather report, for his smile.
    　　Several months ago I was racing to catch  a him As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Grey hound counter, the sales agent said with a broad smile ,”Oh that bus left five minutes ago.”Dreams of head-cutting!
    　　It’s not the news that makes someone angry. It’s the unsympathetic attitude with which it’s the unsympathetic attitude with which it’s delivered. Everyone must give bad news from time to time, and winning professionals do it with the proper attitude. A doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way. A boss informing an employee he didn’t get the job takes on a sympathetic tone. Big winners know, when delivering any bad news, they should share the feeling of the receiver.
    　　Unfortunately, many people are not aware of this. When you’re tired from a long flight, has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn’t ready yet? When you had your heart set on the toast beef, has your waiter mainly told you that he just served the last piece? It makes you as traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces.
    　　Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warming .Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left, I probably would have said, ” Oh, that’s all right I’ll catch the next one.” Big winners, when they bear bad news ,deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded（被轰炸的）person is sure to have.
