    Listen carefully, working people, we would like to tell you something that could save your precious time and money! Best of all, it is free!
    It’s “no”.
    What do you ask? We’ll say it again: “No”.
    Sweet and simple “no”.
    Say “no” at your office and see how quickly that pile of work on your desk disappears.
    “Saying ‘no’ to others means you are saying ‘yes’ to yourself, ” said Leslie Charles, a professional speaker from East Lansing, Michigan.
    “Time is precious. People are spending money buying time. And yet we are willing to give up our time because we can’t say ‘no’.”
    Susie Watson, a famous writer, said people who always say “yes” need to say “no” without guilt(内疚)or fear of punishment. “I would rather have someone give me a loving ‘no’ than an obligated(强制的) ‘yes’, ” she said.
    Susie Watson says she feels “no” obligation to give an explanation when she says “no” either socially or professionally. Does she feel guilty about it? “Not at all, ” said Watson, who is director of advertising and public relations at Timex Corp in Middlebury, Conneticut. “Most people are afraid of saying ‘no’… My advice is to say ‘yes’ only if you don’t mean ‘no’.”
    Watson said “no” is the most effective weapon against wasting time. “Every year there are more demands on your time… Other people are happy to use up your time, ” Watson said. Time saving appears to be “no’s” greatest friend.
    “No” can be your new friend, a powerful tool to take back your life. “No” may even take you further in the business world than “yes”.
    “No” is power and strength. “No” now seems completely correct. “Saying ‘no’ isn’t easy. But finally it’s greatly liberating,” Charles said. But, he added, a “no” project needs to be worked on every day because it is hard to change long-term habit.
    But, he also warns: “Don’t go to extremes. Don’t find yourself saying ‘no’ to everything. In return you should learn to hear ‘no’.”
    小题1: The sentence “Saying ‘yes’ to yourself” means _______.
    A．you can have more time to play with others
    B．you needn’t care about other’s feeling if you are happy
    C．you are selfish and treat others rudely
    D．you can deal with your business as you have planned
    小题2: When you say “no” to others you should say it in a _______.
    A．secret wayB．polite way
    C．proud wayD．guilty way
    小题3:In Watson’s opinion, people can save much time on condition that _______.
    A．they say “no” at a suitable time
    B．they say “no” as much as possible
    C．they are afraid of saying “no”
    D．they make others angry at them
    小题4:If a person says “no” to everything, the result he or she receive may be that he or she _______.
    A．enjoys a wonderful lifeB．makes a lot of money
    C．faces difficulty in lifeD．forgets to say “yes” in the end

    Comera is the only place in the world which has a whistle(口哨)language. We do not know how and why it began because we do not know the complete history of the island. But we can certainly imagine the reasons for the beginning of the whistle language. There are many deep valleys on the island. A person on one side of valley cannot easily shout to a person on the other side. But he can whistle and be heard from four miles away, and the record is seven miles. The people who live on the island usually have good teeth, and this helps them to whistle well. They must also have good ears so that they can hear other whistlers.
    We can understand why the whistle language continues. It is very useful on the island, and quite easy to learn. When somebody is hurt or ill, the whistle language takes the place of the telephone. If the sick person is a long way from the town, boys and men pass the news from one to another. A boy guarding cattle on a hillside whistles to a man fishing from his boat. The last one is able to describe the trouble fully and exactly to the doctor in town. People help each other in the same way when a car breaks or a cow is lost.
    The whistle language is hundreds of years old, and probably it will continue to live for hundreds of years more. Radio and TV often kill the special ways of speaking in the different parts of a country. But on Comera island you are nobody if you cannot whistle. Perhaps soon after TV arrives on the island, the people there will be whistling the news and other facts and opinions.
    小题1:If a person on Comera island is ill, 　　　.
    A．others will phone the doctor in town
    B．the whistle language will pass the news to the doctor
    C．his family will take him to the doctor
    D．people will take him to the hospital
    小题2: From the passage we know radio and TV　　　at that time.
    A．killed the special ways of speaking
    B．whistled all the news and opinions
    C．helped Comera people to communicate
    D．did not appear on Comera island yet
    小题3: Comera island is special in that　　　.
    A．it attracts visitors every year
    B．no visitors have ever been there
    C．people there have special ears to hear whistles
    D．people there use the whistle language to communicate with each other
    小题4: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
    A．It is not easy for a person to live on Comera island if he cannot whistle.
    B．The whistle language can only be found on Comera island.
    C．The whistle language has been used for hundreds of years on the island, but will not be used any longer.
    D．The record shows that one best whistler can be heard by others seven miles away.

    When you think of the tremendous technological progress we have made, it’s amazing how little we have developed in other respects. We may speak contemptuously of the poor old Romans because they relished the orgies of slaughter that went on in their arenas. We may despise them because they mistook these goings on for entertainment. We may forgive them condescendingly because they lived 2000 years ago and obviously knew no better. But are our feelings of superiority really justified? Are we any less blood-thirsty? Why do boxing matches, for instance, attract such universal interest? Don’t the spectators who attend them hope they will see some violence? Human beings remains as bloodthirsty as ever they were. The only difference between ourselves and the Romans is that while they were honest enough to admit that they enjoyed watching hungey lions tearing people apart and eating them alive, we find all sorts of sophisticated arguments to defend sports which should have been banned long age; sports which are quite as barbarous as, say, public hangings or bearbaiting.
    It really is incredible that in this day and age we should still allow hunting or bull-fighting, that we should be prepared to sit back and watch two men batter each other to pulp in a boxing ring, that we should be relatively unmoved by the sight of one or a number of racing cars crashing and bursting into flames. Let us not deceive ourselves. Any talk of ‘the sporting spirit’ is sheer hypocrisy. People take part in violent sports because of the high rewards they bring. Spectators are willing to pay vast sums of money to see violence. A world heavyweight championship match, for instance, is front page news. Millions of people are disappointed if a big fight is over in two rounds instead of fifteen. They feel disappointment because they have been deprived of the exquisite pleasure of witnessing prolonged torture and violence.
    Why should we ban violent sports if people enjoy them so much? You may well ask. The answer is simple: they are uncivilized. For centuries man has been trying to improve himself spiritually and emotionally – admittedly with little success. But at least we no longer tolerate the sight madmen cooped up in cages, or public floggings of any of the countless other barbaric practices which were common in the past. Prisons are no longer the grim forbidding places they used to be. Social welfare systems are in operation in many parts of the world. Big efforts are being made to distribute wealth fairly. These changes have come about not because human beings have suddenly and unaccountably improved, but because positive steps were taken to change the law. The law is the biggest instrument of social change that we have and it may exert great civilizing influence. If we banned dangerous and violent sports, we would be moving one step further to improving mankind. We would recognize that violence is degrading and unworthy of human beings.

    B．people are willing to pay vast sums money to see violence.

    D．people are bloodthirsty in sports.
    小题3:That the author mentions the old Romans is
    A．To compare the old Romans with today’s people.
    B．to give an example.
    C．to show human beings in the past know nothing better.

    作者采取先对比、后分析的写作手法。先是今人和古罗马人对暴虐体育上对此两者都欣赏。后者坦率成人“欣赏暴力体育”，前者施以各种接口、实际都是嗜血成性者。第二段进一步剖析今人欣赏暴虐体育的种种实例，最后指出改善“暴虐”的根本嗜为改善法律采取积极的步骤，法律才能施以巨大的文明影响，否则人类很难改变。

    Now Hear This
    What do former American president Bill Clinton and rock musician Pete Townshend have in common.'? Both men have hearing damage from exposure to loud music, and both now wear hearing aids as a consequence. As a teenager, Clinton played saxophone in a band. Townshend, who has the more severe hearing loss, was a guitarist for a band called the Who. He is one of the first rock musicians to call the public's attention to the problem of hearing loss from exposure to loud music.
    Temporary hearing loss can happen after only 15 minutes of listening to loud music. One early warning sign is when your ears begin to feel warm while you listen to music at a rock concert or through headphones. One later is that an unusual sound or a ringing is sometimes produced in your head after the concert.
    "What happens is that the hair cells in the inner ear are damaged, but they're not dead," says physician and ear specialist Dr. Sam Levine. According to Dr. Levine, if you avoid further exposure to loud noise, it's possible to recondition the cells somewhat. However, he adds, "Eventually, over a long period of time, hair cells are permanently damaged." And this is no small problem.
    What sound level is dangerous? According to Dr. Levine, regular exposure to noise above 85 decibels (分贝) is considered dangerous. The chart below offers a comparison of decibel levels to certain sounds. Here's another measurement you can use. If you're at a rock concert and the music is so loud that you have to shout to make yourself heard, you' re at risk for hearing loss. That's when wearing protective devices such as earplugs becomes critical.
    The facts are pretty frightening. But are rock bands turning down the volume.'? Most aren't. "Rock music is supposed to be loud," says drummer Andrew Sather.  "I wouldn't have it any other way. And neither would the real fans of rock. "
    Continued exposure to loud music and the failure to wear earplugs can lead to deafness, according to Dr. Levine. He states, "There's no cure for hearing loss. Your ears are trying to tell you something. That ringing is the scream of your hair cells dying. Each time that happens, more and more damage is done. "
    Levels of Common Noises
    Normal conversation                           50 — 65 dB
    Food blender                                  88 dB
    Jet plane flying above a person standing outside      103 dB
    Rock band during a concert                      110 — 140 dB
    小题1:From Paragraph 1, we can learn that                   .
    A．loud music is a major cause of hearing loss
    B．famous people tend to have hearing problems
    C．teenagers should stay away from school bands
    D．the problem of hearing damage is widely known
    小题2:In Paragraph 3, the underlined word "recondition" means                .
    A．not to be seenB．to fill with sound
    C．to become larger in sizeD．to make good again
    小题3:The purpose of the chart at the end of the article is to show                   .
    A．a list of harmful sounds
    B．the effect of rock concerts
    C．the noise levels of familiar sounds
    D．relationship between daily activities and hearing loss
    小题4:Which of the following statements will Dr. Sam Levine probably agree?
    A．When your ears feel warm, your hair cells are dead.
    B．Drummer Andrew Sather gives good advice.
    C．Many are taking the risk of losing hearing.
    D．Doctors know how to cure hearing loss.

    Are you stressed out, scared or worried all the time? Do you avoid going to certain places, seeing friends or doing certain things because of your worries? Do your worries keep you awake at night? If you’ve answered yes, you may be suffering from anxiety.
    Anxiety is a normal and necessary part of life. Anxiety is your brain’s way of telling you about danger. It is anxiety which helps you jump out of the way if a car is speeding towards you. But if it gets out of hand, anxiety can get in the way of your getting on with life and can become a real problem. If this is the case for you, treatment may be a helpful way for you to get your anxiety under control.
    Anxiety is a normal part of life. Some people may feel uneasy if moving to a new place and some may get overly anxious in certain situations. There are lots of reasons for this. One main reason is after a stressful thing which has happened in your life. So, if you are involved in a car crash, it’s quite likely that you will be more worried than other people around cars and driving.
    Being anxious also probably runs in families. If your parents suffer from anxiety then you are more likely to be anxious too. This is probably partly due to genetics, and partly because of how things are when you’re growing up.
    Even though people don’t talk about it much, anxiety is one of the most common mental health problems. About 1 in 4 people will have an anxiety problem at some time in their life.
    If you have an anxiety problem it’s hard for other people to understand why something that doesn’t worry them, like being in a crowd of people, can be so scary for you. This can make you feel separated and lonely, as may become worse and worse.
    The good news is there are lots of excellent treatments available for anxiety. These include taking therapies (疗法) and drugs.

Around the world, about 43 million children under the age of five were overweight in 2013.
    Overweight and obese children are more likely to become overweight and obese adults. The condition can generate serious health problems like heart diseases.
    Francesco Branca is the director of the WHO Department of Nutrition for Health and Development. He says urban lifestyle makes people eat processed food more often ,which has a high sugar ,fat and salt content. He also says people are gaining weight because of their lack of activities.

    C.O.P.D(慢性障碍性肺病) blocks air flow through the lungs. It makes breathing difficult. The leading cause of C.O.P.D. is cigarette smoking. Experts at the National Institutes of Health in the United States say there is no cure to the damage to the lungs.
    Dawn Demeo is an assistant professor at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts. She said, “By 2020, C.O.P.D. may be the third leading cause of death across the world.”
    C.O.P.D. is a new name for emphysema（肺气肿） and chronic bronchitis（慢性支气管炎）. These are the two most common forms of the disease. Many people with C.O.P.D. have both of them. And Doctor Demeo says more women than men now die from the disease.
    She is the lead author of a study by a team from Harvard’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital and the University of Bergen in Norway. The new study adds to findings that women may be more at risk than men from the damaging effects of smoking.

    The team also looked at two groups among the people in the study. These were people under the age of 60 and those who had smoked for less than 20 years. In both cases, women had more serious C.O.P.D. and a greater loss of lung function (功能）than men.

    UGG boots have been a winter-weather fashion for several years now, combining function, comfort, warmth and even some style. What many UGG enthusiasts don’t know is that their boots are a breeding ground for bacteria and causes foot problems.
    Doctors believe the boots, which are particularly popular among young teenage girls, are leading to a rise in the number of people suffering pains in their feet and knees.
    Dr. Ian Drysdale, head of the British College of Osteopathic Medicine, believes because the foot does not get the proper support on the inside, it will lead to more ankle, knee, hip and back problems. “ These boots are not designed for outside wear. Just because something becomes a trend or fashionable doesn’t mean it’s good or right,” he said. “ The particular problem with this type of footwear is that it is unsupported. It is a slipper. You wouldn’t normally expect to be doing outdoor activities from something that’s indoor. If you decide to wear your pajamas outside all the time, someone will come up and say it’s not a good idea.” Dr. Drysdale explained that the feet issues become a particular problem among young teenage girls, whose bones are “plastic” and developing when they are growing. “ If that structure is developing in an inappropriate way,” he said, “then the ultimate structure will be deformed.”
    UGG Australia, who makes the designer version of the boots, told The Daily Mirror that their boots are “comfort” rather than “performance” footwear and consumers should be aware of “knockoffs(仿制品)” which lack reinforce heels in their boots.
    小题1: Teenage girls prefer to wear UGG boots because of the following except__________.
    A．designB．comfortC．qualityD．warmth
    小题2:According to Dr.Ian Drysdale,____________.
    A．there is a possibility that bacteria will multiply in UGG boots
    B．wearing UGG boots will lead to more ankle and toe problems
    C．it’s not a good idea to wear boots like UGG outside all the time.
    D．teenage girls’ bones are plastic enough to wear UGG boots
    小题3: The underline word “deformed” is closest in meaning to_______.
    A．shapedB．strengthenedC．reformedD．damaged
    小题4:Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
