Even today, a man with good manner will politely open the door for a lady, help her put on her coat when necessary and see her safely to the door of her home before a date. When a man take a woman out for a dinner, it is considered impolite to help her with her chair when she gets up or sits down. On a crowding train or bus, it is proper for a man offer a woman his seat, particular if she is old or carries a baby. Even when it comes to shake hands, ladies come first. It is impolite for a man to extend his hand for a handshake upon first greeting. Unless a woman does not extend her hand to the man first, the man shouldn’t offer theirs.

   In early January this year, the rate of UFO reports were steady, around three per weeks. When, however, on Monday, January 16, a science fiction film about visitors to outer space was shown on television, there was the immediate increase in reports of sightings from all parts of the States. The commanding officer, Wayne Tyler, who directly responsible for the study of all such reports, decided to making his findings known. They wrote an article, which said that all UFO reports could be explained for quite naturally by aircraft movements. Follow this explanation, there was a rapid drop in the number of reported sightings, because the rate remained above the previous level.

Why have you been so successful in reaching some of your goals, but not others? If you aren’t sure, you are far from being alone in your confusion. In fact, decades of research on achievement suggests that successful people reach their goals not simply because of who they are, but more often because of what they do.    36

1.Get specific

When you set yourself a goal, try to be as specific as possible. "Lose 5 pounds" is a better goal than "lose some weight" because it gives you a clear idea of what success looks like.    37  Also, think about the specific actions that need to be taken to reach your goal.

2. 38

Considering how busy most of us are, it's not surprising that we often miss opportunities to act on a goal because we simply fail to notice them. Did you really have no time to work out today? No chance at any point to return that phone call? Achieving your goal means seize these opportunities before they slip through your fingers.

3.Know exactly how far you have left to go

Achieving any goal also requires honest and regular monitoring (监督)of your progress—if not by others, then by you yourself. If you don't know how well you are doing, you can't adjust your behavior accordingly.   39

It is my hope that you have gained some insight (认识)into all the things you have been doing right all along. Remember:    40    It’s never what you are, but what you do.

A. Wait for opportunities to appear.      B. Seize the moment to act on your goals.

C. Here are things successful people do differently.

D. Next I'll talk about my own experience on how to achieve success.

E. You don't need to become a different person to become a more successful one.

F. Check your progress frequently — weekly, or even daily, depending on the goal.

G. Knowing exactly what you want to achieve keeps you motivated until you get there.

When I was at university, I studied very hard. But a lot of my friends did very little work. Some did just enough to pass exams. Others didn't do quite enough. Fred Baines was one of them. He spent more time drinking in the Students' Union than working in the library.

Once, at the end of the term, we had to take an important test in chemistry. The test had a hundred questions. Beside each question, we had to write "True" or "False". While I was studying in my room the night before the test, Fred was watching television. Fred usually worried a lot the night before a test. But on that night he looked perfectly calm. Then he told me of his plan.

"It's very simple. There are a hundred questions and I have to get fifty correct to pass the test. I'll take a coin (硬币) into the examination room. I haven't studied a chemistry book for months, so I'll just toss(抛) the coin. That way, I'm sure I'll get half the questions right."

The next day Fred came cheerfully into the examination room. He sat tossing a coin for half an hour as he marked down his answers. Then he left, half an hour before the rest of us.

      The next day, he saw the chemistry professor in the corridor (走廊).

      "Oh, good," he said. "Have you got the result of the test? What mark did I get?"

      The professor looked at him and smiled.

      "Ah, it's you, Baines. Just a minute."

       Then he reached into his pocket and took out a coin. He threw it into the air, caught it in his hand and looked at it.

      "I'm terribly sorry, Baines," he said, "you failed."

Does traveling green necessarily mean we have to pay more?Nowadays as eco-tourism has become a new trend, travelers have started debating the seemingly high costs of such tourism．“I vote for green travel, but if it's more expensive that way, then I would probably reconsider it．”Such was the concern voiced by many individual travelers and international leaders at this year's Copenhagen Climate Summit．If you want to take an eco-trip and avoid overspending, here are some tips that we recommend．

　　Print out maps and information before setting off．Set aside those expensive and heavy guidebooks and use online resources to plan and book your trip．Only when necessary, print out maps and other materials at home on recycled paper．

　　Pack lightly．Make a packing list, edit it several times, and cross off everything you don't absolutely need．By reducing the weight of their luggage, travelers can significantly cut greenhouse gas emissions．

　　Use Solar-powered chargers．Use solar-powered chargers for your camera, cell phone and music player．Solar-powered chargers can reduce carbon emissions and free you from electrical plugs．

　　Eat locally．Visit a local farmer's market, shop at a locally owned grocery store and choose locally owned restaurants that buy local food．Locally produced food is a tastier and better option．Buy handicrafts．Try to support the local people．You can do so by buying locally made eco-friendly handicrafts．Never buy any animal products or anything that may be harmful to the environment．

　　Change clothes less often．Take some pure cotton and quick-dry clothes on your trip．Clothing that dries quickly makes life easier．If you arent into doing laundry too often, take some older clothing that you are almost ready to throw away, and then you can lighten your luggage when you go home by tossing them out．

　   Use greener methods of transportation．Use alternative（可替换的） modes of transportation as much as possible．For example, you can choose to travel on foot or by bicycle rather than by taking a taxi or driving yourself．These options are the best low-carbon ways to travel and you don't have to pay more for your environmental guilt．

On Tuesday, scientists announced that they have discovered the bones of four settlers in Jamestown, Virginia. Jamestown was the first permanent English settlement in what become the United States. The bones were unearthed under the floor of a Jamestown church which was discovered in 2010 and is considered as America，s first Protestant church.

The Jamestown Rediscovery Foundation at Historic Jamestowne and the Smithsonian's Museum of Natural History announced that the settlers held high leadership positions. The men, Rev.Robert Hunt,Capt. Gabriel Archer,Sir Ferdinando Wainman,and Capt. William West, all played a role in the Jamestown settlement. After being lost to history for more than 400 years, the discovery of their remains provides new clues about their life and the importance of religion in the 1600s.

“This is a very important discovery,” Jamestown Rediscovery Foundation President James Horn said in a statement. “These men were among the first founders of English America."

About 100 people settled along the James River in what would become the first English settlement m 1607. During that time, settlers in Jamestown were faced with famine and disease The colony was nearly wiped out due to conflict with Native Americans in the area and with other English settlers.

"They lived and died at a hard time in the history of the settlement , when Jamestown almost ended in  failure," Horn said. “The bones of these men help fill in the stories of their lives ”

The Smithsonian and the Rediscovery Foundation found the remains in November of 2013. Scientists used 3-D technology to locate the exact gravesites of the men. The team wanted to identify its findings before announcing the discovery. They identified the men using historical records and studied the chemicals of the bones to learn what the men ate and where they came from.

Findings from the burials will go on display within weeks at Historic Jamestowne. The site also plans to honor the men and will keep their bones in a safe place for future study.

Sometime in the future, the familiar early-newspaper on the front porch (门廊) will disappear. And instead of reading your newspaper, it will read to you. You’ll get up and turn on the computer newspaper just like switching on the TV. An electronic voice will distribute stories about the latest events, guided by a program that selects the type of news you want. You’ll even get to choose the kind of voice you want to hear. Want more information on this brief story? A simple touch makes the entire text appear. You can save it in your own personal computer if you like. These are among the predictions from communication experts working on the newspapers of the future. Pictured as part of broader home-based media and entertainment systems, computer newspapers will unite print and broadcast reporting, and offer news and analysis with video images of news events.

Most of the technology is available now, but convincing more people that they don’t need to read a newspaper is the next step. But resistance to computer newspapers may be stronger from within journalism. Since it is such a cultural change, it may be that the present generation of journalists and publishers will have to die off before the next generation realizes that the newspaper industry is no longer a newspaper industry. Technology is making the end of traditional newspapers unavoidable.

Despite technological advances, it could take decades to replace newsprint with computer screens. It might take 30 to 40 years to complete the changeover because people need to buy computers and because newspapers have established financial interests in the paper industry.

25. Which of the following is NOT an advantage of computer newspapers according to the passage?

26. Journalists are against computer newspapers because_________.

27. Why will it take a long time to complete the changeover?

28. What is the main idea of the passage?

Creating a good study environment takes a little planning. It is well worth the time as the end result will be much productive study time. Many people fail to do this and wonder why they cannot concentrate. After a couple of times of studying the right way, most people will be surprised at how much they can actually enjoy studying.  16 

Know that concentration is the key. Reduce every possible distraction. Turn off the television and go in an area where you will not be interrupted by people.  17  If you are studying on your computer-don't get distracted by emails.

     18   If it is too dim, your eyes will be strained and leave you tired and wanting to close your eyes. Sun is a light that naturally wakes you up and helps you think. 

Choose a comfortable seat.  19  Now a couch can work just fine for this as long as you don't find yourself laying flat after a few minutes. The whole point of studying is to be able to concentrate on the study matter.

     20   Now this is for the person who needs the background noise. If you find yourself thinking about the song then maybe silence is better for you.

Keep something to drink and snack on close by to keep your blood sugar stable. Obviously sugary foods will give you a quick rush but you will also have a quick low afterward.

A. Find a quiet place.

B. Turn on some music.

C. If you can, turn off your cell phone.

D. It should have a good back support and a good seat.

E. Some people can study with lots of activities going on.

F. Read on to learn how to create a good study environment.

G. Read on to learn how to create a good study environment.

In January, 2016, Harry Styles made a bold decision. He left the popular boy band One Direction and went solo (单飞). Now he is making his own voice heard. The 23-year-old British singer released his first solo single called Sign of the Times. His self-titled album (个人同名专辑) is coming out on May 12.

Going solo is a journey for him to find his identity (身份). Though at the time, he was uncertain about his future, he kept a word in his mind - “honesty”. “I didn’t want to write ‘stories’,” he told Rolling Stone. “I wanted to write my stories, things that happened to me. The number-one thing was I wanted to be honest. I hadn’t done that before.”

He is indeed full of stories since beginning his solo career. Last fall, he spent two months recording on a remote island in Jamaica (牙买加).Along with some musicians, he filled a two-floor house with instruments. They hung out at the bar that looked like a tree house. Many mornings began with a swim in the river down the hill. They watched many romantic comedies. Styles always held a black notebook and looked like a college student who was studying, Rolling Stone reported.

His coming album is about rock music. In fact, he grew up with it. His father Desmond was a rock music fan. When Styles was very young, he danced to The Dark Side of the Moon, a classic song by British rock band Pink Floyd. “I couldn’t really get it. But I just remember (thinking that) this is really cool.”

Harry said, “At the very beginning, all I wanted was to be the granddad with the best stories.” Surely, now he is on the right track (轨道).

4. Why did Styles go solo?

Your house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan.

Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious( 难 为 情 )when they’ re in poorly lit places----and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.

Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.

Don’ t forget the clock----or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories (卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes. And while you’ re at it, actually sit

down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.

Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one ,total intake ( 摄入 ) jumps by 14 percent. And we’ ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.

25.   The text is especially helpful for those who care about .

A.  healthy diets                   B. house buying

C. their body shape               D. their home comforts

26.   A home environment in blue can help people   .

A.  reduce food intake             B. digest food better

C. regain their appetites          D. burn more calories

27.   What are people advised to do at mealtimes?

A.  Use smaller spoons.            B. Turn down the lights.

C. Eat quickly.                  D. Play fast music.

28.   What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.  Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?

B.  Is Your House Making You Fat?

C.  Ways of Serving Dinner

D.  Effects of Self-Consciousness

It is 8:45 a. m. and a line of hungry children eagerly await breakfast outside a classroom. Moments later they burst in, running over to a table covered with cereals, spreads, milk and juice to enjoy a satisfying, healthy breakfast.

This is familiar for Cannel McConnell, founder of The Magic Breakfast, a charity that delivers morning meals to children who would otherwise go without.

Ms McConnell created her organization 16 years ago after hearing from school staff that they had to feed their pupils before lessons started, as many were so hungry as to sleep in class.

The Magic Breakfast has a simple goal: to remove child hunger in the mornings by 2020. It is an example of one of many organizations using fresh produce to handle food poverty.

The charity has 200 partner schools in the capital and another 280 across the rest of England. There are 60 London schools on the waiting list. On average, 49 pupils receive breakfast in each school, meaning the charity helps 9,800 young people in London every day.

Ms McConnell says the Magic Breakfast has made a notable impact: “Every morning pupils come in, eat breakfast and socialise with one another. In terms of their academic development, they are sharper as the breakfast gives them the energy to get through the day and to learn.”

When asked about the obstacle to their goal, McConnell says, “The big thing we need, quite simply, is cash. The consequence (后果) of child hunger is that they will fail at school and we have to deal with fallout. Feeding hungry children so they can learn is no tough task. Breakfast is an ideal solution. As well as cash，we are looking for firms to donate food. I’d love for people to support us. And I’d love for us to proudly say we have sorted this problem out.”

28. How does the writer introduce the topic?

A. By giving an explanation.

B. By describing a scene.

C. By analyzing causes.

D. By making comparisons.

29. Which of the following is not mentioned about Ms McConnell’s organization?

A. Its difficulties.                                                           B. Its purpose.

C. Its influence.                                                            D. Its staff.

30. What does Ms McConnell mean by saying the words in the last paragraph?

A. She’s calling on more people to help with her charity.

B. She feels greatly concerned about the future of her charity.

C. She’s confident of providing enough breakfast for British children.

D. She feels proud to have solved the problem of child hunger in England.
