Most people say “yes” much more readily than “no”.
A friend is moving house this weekend and would like some help, and you agree. But, what you
really wanted was a couple of quiet days relaxing at home. Or a roommate spends the entire weekends playing vid eo games and wants to borrow your homework for “reference”. But, you’ve just finished it after taking a whole day to work hard.
Many people say “yes” to these kinds of requests. They tend not to consider their own interests and feelings, and are often angry with themselves afterwards.
Saying “no” requires courage and considerable practice, in fact, according to psychologists.
“Everyone wants to be liked,” says Gabriele Steinki, a German psychologist. “Saying ‘no’ risks losing the affection of the person ask ing the favor or even a job.”
The result is that many people say “yes” just for keeping the peace. But experts say this is regrettable. Anyone should have the right to say “no”.
In fact, rejecting a request can even help to strengthen a relationship because it expresses a true feeling.
But, for people used to agreeing to every request, changing can be a long and uncomfortable learning process.
Most people believe that “If I say ‘no’, I'll lose the affection of the person. But the affection is important to m e.” This way of thinking can be replaced by this: “If he only likes me because I always do what suits him , then the price of his affection is too high in the long term.”
Steinki says the key is talking to the other person to find a mutual (相互的) solution. “One heeds to present the situation from one’s own point of view, and to suggest how the situation can be dealt with to the advantage of both parties. The other person must have the feeling that his interests are being considered.”
When the refusal is not accepted, Steinki advises giving the reasons calmly again until the person gets the message.
56. Most people say “yes” much more readily than “no” because ________.
A. they don’t care about their own interests and feelings
B. they don’t know they will re gret afterwards
C. they have already been used to saying “yes”
D. they care more about others’ affection
57. In the opinion of experts, _________ .
A. people need a lot of practice to say “no”
B. people should say “yes” to keep the peace
C. saying “no” means losing a job
D. people have the right to be liked
58. According to the writer, what should you do if you want to refuse the other person’s request?
A. Just say you can’t help him.
B. Say sorry to him.
C. Refuse him clearly.
D. Talk to the other person to find a mutual way.
59. According to the writer, what should you do if your refusal is not accepted?
A. Say yes to him.
B. Repeat your reason for his acceptance
C. Just go away
D. Say no to him
B
British men are encouraged to cry.
There are certain things British men like to believe about themselves. The first is that one day they will again win the World Cup. They also believe they do not cry. Over the centuries, Britons are believed to have a "stiff upper lip". But is this true?
Yes, it is. A recent study arranged by Kleenex on how the British express their emotions reveals that 95 percent of them still contain their emotions.
Moreover, while 72 percent think this is unhealthy, 19 percent can't remember the last time they "let it out". As a result, Kleenex is launching the "Let It Out" campaign that encourages Britons to grab a tissue and have a good cry.
These days, however, the male Briton's attitude toward crying is changing. Though the majority still struggles to open up emotionally, a 2004 study by Oxford's Social Issues Research Center found that 77 percent of British men considered crying in public increasingly acceptable. Half of London males
admitted crying in front of their mothers. Scotsmen are the least emotional, although they are the most likely to cry at weddings.
Peter Marsh, director of the center, said, “Crying can now indicate sensitivity rather than weakness. Like with David Beckham, crying because you're dropping off your boy at nursery isn't seen as weak.”
Winston Churchill was said to be a frequent crier, shedding tears at seeing a survivor in an air raid shelter（防空洞）, and when he saw his wife after a long absence.
Psychologists say that while society has accepted that men can cry, there are limits. Ronald Bracey, a consulting psychologist, said, “If a man began to cry when he was having stitches（缝针）in hospital, he would be considered as a wimp（软弱的人）. Men still need to be seen as strong when it comes to physical pain. ”
60 What does the passage mainly deal with?
A. Different attitudes British men have towards crying.
B. British men's dream of the World Cup.
C. Advice on how to control emotions.
D. Impression of British men.
61 Which of the following concerning(关于) the British men is NOT true according to the passage?
A. They are supposed to easily control emotions over the centuries.
B. They are confident that they will again get successful in the World Cup.
C. Nowadays, the male Briton's attitude toward crying is changing.
D. About 50% of Britons admitted crying before their mothers.
62 The underlined word “contain” in paragraph 3 means ______.
A. store
B. include
C. hold back
D. possess
C
Most people today think of chocolate as something sweet to eat or drink and can be easily found in stores around the world. It might surprise you that chocolate was once highly treasured.
The wealthy people of Spain first enjoyed a sweetened chocolate drink. Later, the popularity of the drink spread throughout Europe. Chocolate remained a drink that only wealthy people could afford to drink until the eighteenth century. During the period known as the Industrial Revolution, new technologies helped make chocolate less costly to produce.
Farmers grow cacao trees in many countries in Africa, Central and South America, but these trees are difficult to grow. They require an exact amount of water, warmth, soil and protection. After about five years, cacao trees start producing large fruits called pods, which grow near the trunk of the tree. The seeds inside these pods are harvested to make chocolate. Growing cacao is very hard work for farmers. Today, chocolate industry officials, activists, and scientists are working with farmers. They are trying to make sure that cacao can be grown in a way that is easy for the farmers and safe for the environment.
The market value of the yearly cacao crop around the world is more than five billion dollars. Chocolate is especially popular in Europe and the United States. Each year, Americans eat an average of more than 5 kilograms of chocolate per person. Specialty shops that sell costly chocolate are also very popular. Many offer chocolate lovers the chance to taste chocolate grown in different areas of the world.
63 We can learn from the passage that chocolate was ______.
A. served with a drink in old times
B. popular with people around the world
C. a drink enjoyed by the rich in old times
D. bought easily in stores in old times
64 What made it possible to produce chocolate inexpensively?
A. A warm climate.
B. Official aid.
C. New technologies.
D. Scientific protection.
65 What should ideal cacao farming be like？
A. Simple and time-saving.
B. Safe and labour-saving
C. Easy and labour-saving
D. Easy and environment-friendly.

It is easy for many peo ple to catch a cold in the springtime or fall. It makes us wonder…..if scientists can send a man to the moon, why can’t they find a cure for the common cold? The answer is easy. There are actually hundreds of kinds of cold viruses out there. You never know which one you will get, so there isn’t a cure for each one.
When a virus attacks your body, your body works hard to get rid of it. Blood rushes to your nose and causes a block in it. You feel terrible because you can’t breathe well, but your body is actually eating the virus. Your temperature goes up and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is killing the virus. You also have a runny nose to stop the virus from getting into your cells. You may feel very uncomfortable, but actually your wonderful body is doing everything it can to kill the cold.
Different people do different things to deal with colds. In the United States and some other countries, for example, people might eat chicken soup to make themselves feel better. Some people take hot baths and drink warm liquids. Other people take medicine to stop various symptoms (症状) of colds.
There is one interesting thing to note----some scientists say taking medicines when you have a cold is actually bad for you. The virus stays in you longer bec ause your body doesn’t have a way to fight it and kill it. Bodies can do an amazing job on their own. There is a joke, however, on taking medicine when you have a cold. It goes like this:
It takes about one week to get over a cold if you don’t take medi cine, but it takes only seven days to get over a cold if you take medicine.

In life we can hardly do without friends. There are many difficulties and problems we can’t overcome with only our own efforts. Besides, we need friends to share our joys and sorrows, otherwise we will feel lonely.
What is true friendship? A good friend is someone who respects you and who you respect. As the saying goes, “A friend in need is a friend indeed.” T rue friends are those who never desert you when you are in need. On the contrary, they will offer you sincere and selfless help even at the cost of their own interests. Moreover, they will encourage you to stick to what is right and tell us not to do what is wrong or illegal.
In my opinion, true friendship is largely based on supporting each other. Whenever we have problems, we never hesitate to offer support to each other. Besides, we are supposed to help and trust each other. In conclusion, true friendship will stand the test of time.

What happened to that brilliant idea that you once had? Did you 36 it because you thought that it was just a little thought? Have you ever 37 what that little thought would have become if you had acted on your instincts (直觉) 38 if you had paid more attention to it?
Imagine a 39 , where you are sitting at home watching television or reading a book, suddenly a light is 40 on in the dark tunnel of your mind as a thought or an idea crosses your mind. The thought 41 your attention but seems so meaningless and you are tempted to 42 it, but wait a minute! That thought could be the potential beginning of the 43 you have so mush wished for.
As the thought crosses your mind, your senses become alert and you suddenly see a possibility, a solution, or find the answer to a problem whose solution has 44 escaped you. It is almost as if a wise man has 45 the perfect solution into your ear or awakened your senses to a reality, thereby bringing light to your life. It is like finding the 46 piece of jigsaw puzzle (拼图游戏). This becomes an amazing moment and everything freezes around you as you excitedly try to grasp the practicality of that 47 but powerful thought.
Your self-confidence and enthusiasm increase as you become 48 of the great possibilities that can 49 if that little thought is acted upon. This becomes the moment to build upon that thought and to put 50 any ideas that are streaming from that little thought for later review. 51 meaningless little thought or ideas when acted 52 have a potential to explode into great projects. Many successful projects have been 53 from the little positive thoughts that were carefully protected and recognized as bricks to great things.
Don't waste a(n) 54 to act on a potentially brilliant idea. You don't have to wait for a major idea, or approval from your peers in order for you to act on that little thought.
That little thought or idea is the 55 of great things if you decide to follow it through.

Can you survive an unannounced storm? Although there is expert broadcasting and we are equipped with cell phones, there're still some instances when the violent weather takes us by surprise.
While most Atlantic hurricanes form off the coast of Africa giving plenty of early warning, sudden Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico hurricanes form and move rapidly in less than a day's time, endangering everyone and everything in their path.
There've been oil workers trapped off the shore when sudden storms appeared. Field archeologists have been stuck in coastal areas without storm warning. It wasn't but a few decades ago that a T exas National Guard group was trapped on the beach by rain-forced flooding and had to ride out a major hurricane during a training exercise. There've been a few instances when travelers were trapped on an island or in a coastal area and unable to escape in time.
Escaping from the storm-threatened areas is generally a choice for most of us---but not for all. Each year thousands of islanders across the Caribbean face the danger of hurricanes without so much as a public shelter to hide in. Most ride out the storm in their homes.
But there're a few things you can do to prepare yourself for some unexpected emergencies. Being prepared for the unexpected may be your best and only defense. If you're headed outdoors for a few days or weeks, you should always carry a flashlight(手电筒) with extra batteries, a GPS device (装置),and a basic medical box. If you're traveling in your car, remember you may suffer from high winds. You'd better not stay inside to avoid being blown away along with your car. Keeping your head and your courage up is essential to survival in any type of danger. Let common sense guide you and always be prepared for the worst.
56. According to the text, most Atlantic hurricanes______.
A. form in the Caribbean Sea

As shocking as the idea of baby birds growing up in a cigarette-filled home sounds, a new study
suggests that some birds may benefit from putting the stuff from cigarette butts (烟蒂) into their nests. The nicotine remaining in smoked filters (滤嘴) may serve as a natural insecticide (杀虫剂), driving harmful insects away from the nests and the baby birds living within. Tobacco plants produce nicotine because it defends against insects that would otherwise eat the plants.
The butts are undoubtedly smelly. But birds are actually quite fond of smelly chemicals, such as those found in aromatic (芳香的) plants. Some nest-building species regularly fill their nests with fresh aromatics, possibly because the chemicals are good for the immune system or the development of the chicks. Alternatively, the plant chemicals might act as insecticides.
In the study, researchers at the Autonomous University of Tlaxcala in Mexico set up heat traps, which attract harmful insects, in 55 nests around Mexico City. Some traps were lined with the stuff in smoked cigarette filters. The others were lined with the stuff from unsmoked cigarette filters, which did not contain nicotine and other smoking by-products. Whether the nest held eggs, chicks or nothing, the unsmoked cigarette traps collected more harmful insects, suggesting that it is the chemicals that drove harmful insects away.
In a second experiment, the researchers collected 28 house sparrow nests and 29 house finch (朱雀) nests from Mexico City immediately after the chicks flew out for food. They found that the more smoked filter stuff filled a nest, the fewer harmful insects it had.
The missing piece of the puzzle is whether the reduced number of harmful insects in the nests actually provided any benefit to the chicks. It is also unclear if nicotine or another chemical found in cigarettes may have turned the harmful insects out of the nests.
If the results hold, then this study is an example of wildlife adaptation to urbanization – or at least evidence that birds are smart and can still follow their noses in urban environments.
64. What may be the function of nicotine in cigarette butts for birds?
A. To provide building materials for bird nests.
B. To drive harmful insects away from bird nests.
C. To protect the plants from being eaten by insects.
D. To attract baby birds to stay in the nests.
65. What is the first experiment aimed at?
A. Proving that heat traps attract harmful insects in Mexico City.
B. Comparing smoked cigarette filters with unsmoked ones.
C. Analyzing what is produced from smoked cigarette filters.
D. Studying what it is that drives harmful insects away.
66. What can you infer from the passage?
A. Birds tend to use insecticide to protect the baby birds.
B. Nicotine is the only chemical that drives harmful insects away.
C. Some insects are afraid of smelly chemicals in aromatic plants.
D. Unsmoked cigarette traps attract more harmful insects.
67. Where could you possibly see the passage?
A. In a science report
B. In an urbanization essay
C. In a tobacco advertisement
D. In an anti-smoking brochure

China faces $176bn bill to clean up air pollution
Cleaning up China’s air pollution will cost 1.75 trillion yuan ($176b) between 2013 and 2017, a high-ranking environmental official has estimated.
Wang Jinnan, deputy head of the Chinese Academy for Environmental Planning, said that the investment ---- part of an anti-pollution "action plan" announced by China's cabinet in September ---- “would drive up GDP by nearly two trillion yuan ($202b) and create over two million jobs,” China’s official newswire Xinhua reported.
The total cost will be higher than the 2012 GDP of most countries, including Finland, Israel and
Portugal.
“36.7 percent of the investment, or 640 billion yuan ($64.5b) should go on cle aning up industry, followed by 490 billion yuan (28.2 percent) on cleaner energy sources. Cleaning up motor vehicles will absorb 210 billion yuan,” Xinhua reported, citing (引用) Wang.
In 2013, broad areas of China recorded their highest air pollution levels in 52 years, causing widespread anger over the massive environmental disaster shaped by decades of unchecked economic growth.
While Beijing has long been known for its pea-soup air, a number of traditionally clearer cities, including Shanghai and Harbin, have registered pollution levels high enough for local authorities to ground flights, close schools and pull cars from the roads.
On Friday, Shanghai’s concentration of airborne PM 2.5 – particulate matter small enough to stay deep within the lungs – ros e to 214 micrograms per cubic meter, three times China’s national limit. The official Shanghai Environmental Monitoring Center warned children and the elderly to stay indoors.
In its five-year action plan, China's State Council promised to reduce the level of airborne particulate matter by at least 10% in major cities by 2017.
Yet many smog-related government measures, such as controlling street-side barbecues, have drawn criticism for polishing over the problem. In October, one Beijing official blamed the smog on “the traditional way of cooking Chinese dishes.”
In response, many Chinese people have taken measures into their own hands. Face masks have become a fashion statement; air purifier sales have rapidly increased. An elementary school in north China’s Shijiazhuang, one of the country’s most polluted cities, has begun teaching its students a smog-defying aerobics (健美操) routine involving acupuncture points associated with respiratory（呼吸）health. Last week, a hospital in the southwestern Chinese city Chengdu opened a “smog clinic” to treat air pollution-related diseases such as coughs and asthma; it has been treating roughly a dozen patients
a day. "We should not fear smog. It's preventable and curable," says a poster hung by its entrance.
68. What is the major cause of the heavy smog in China according to the article?
A. The investment in an anti-pollution "action plan" is not enough.
B. The economic development has not been carefully checked in the past years.
C. Environmental Planning has not been carried out for decades of years.
D. The traditional way of cooking Chinese dishes has produced too much smoke.
69. To avoid the harm on their health, people suffering from the smog in China are doing the following EXCEPT _______.
A. wearing face masks and use air purifiers
B. warning children and the elderly not to go outdoors
C. criticizing many smog-related government officials
D. opening “smog clinics” to treat air pollution-related diseases
70. After reading the article, most readers may feel ___________.
A. Angry but hopeless
B. Tired and indifferent (漠不关心)
C. Concerned but positive
D. Depressed and annoyed

Blood donation is a wonderful thing done by us. To begin with, extensive studies show that blood plays a vital role in medical operation. In donating our blood we are actually saving the precious lives of the sick. Next, being a healthy person, losing 200ml of blood is only a small sacrifice and helps to improve our metabolism (新陈代谢). Finally, donating blood helps us in forming good character and developing our sense of social responsibility. Blood donation isn't a complicated issue, but we need to keep a few instructions in mind.
First, don't go for blood donation with an empty stomach. We can eat anything and after having a right diet we'll feel strong and comfortable to donate blood. For the required hemoglobin (血色素) in the body, we can drink lots of fruit juice. For a good blood flow in the body, let's drink at least 6-7 glasses of water daily. Completely avoid taking alcohol or caffeine a day before and after donating our blood. We shouldn't smoke half an hour before making blood donation.
When we’re going for blood donation, first tell the nurse to check our hemoglobin level. During the injection we need to take a deep breath and try to calm ourselves down. During blood donation, keep ourselves cool and calm.
Blood donation is a very fast process, but we need to take care of ourselves after blood donation. For example, take a rest for 15 minutes after the donation. Eat something and drink juice after leaving the blood donation center. Make sure not to skip meals after blood donation. Smoking should be avoided up to one hour after blood donation.
At last be proud of ourselves that we've done a great task in making an attempt of saving someone's life. Blood donation is a social responsibility for every citizen, especially for us, young students. We should do it not because it does us no harm but because it is a noble thing to do and it helps others a great deal.
