Being lonely in the crowd might seem ridiculous. But according to a recent survey, the situation is all too common. Loneliness and other anxiety problems – worrying about life’s pressures – can even lead to self-murder.

       An article in China Daily gave no reason for this other than the usual blaming of the post-80s generation. According to a high level official, young people suffering from discouragement are mostly “spoiled and have not been taught to be independent, responsible and express ‘thank-you’.” Well, how do you like that? First, I don’t think China’s youth are exactly spoiled. They certainly have more things than their parents did, but a lot of the money spent on them is for their education including various extra classes.

       Discouragement and anxiety are now the fastest growing challenges in modern societies. We sense a lack of close friends who can talk to honestly and openly. In 1985, a US study found that one in ten people did not have such a friend. In 2006, it was one in four. It’s easy to see the connection between loneliness and discouragement. But what actually causes this increasing loneliness?

       Surely, with Internet social networking sites such as Kaixin, we have more friends than ever. A new study has shown that the more time teenagers spend in front of computers, the less close they are to friends and family. Kaixin or QQ may be fun but it lacks meaning, compared to personal connections in the real world.

       And then there are those endless online games popular with young Chinese but increasingly there are more interesting choices. For example, new sports such as skateboarding are starting to catch on（流行） in bigger cities, as is playing music in a band. These creative hobbies are done in a group and thus friendship can be stronger. Hopefully young people will also be drawn out of the Internet cafes and interactive computer games that in fact fail to recreate a real and interactive experience.

28. According to the high level official, it is easy for teenagers lacking independence and responsibility to _______.

   A. become spoiled                      B. play endless online games

   C. suffer from loneliness and anxiety        D. refuse to express gratitude

29. What does the writer think of the Internet social networking site Kaixin?

   A. Open but ridiculous.                           B. Honest and responsible.

   C. Real and fun.                                    D. Interesting but meaningless.

30. It can be inferred in Paragraph 3 that _______.

   A. it’s now more difficult for people to find close friends to have an honest chat with

   B. parents focus mostly on children’s education rather than the personality building

   C. young people have no idea of expressing appreciation because of being spoiled

   D. teenagers will recreate a real and interactive experience to strengthen friendship

31. According to the text, which of the following can help us avoid being lonely in the crowd?

   A. To stay long in Internet cafes.                     B. To focus on extra courses.

   C. To give up our own hobbies.                D. To play music in a band.

The effects of coffee consumption on health have long been a subject of conflict and uncertainty.Since the 1980s,some have spoken out against coffee as harmful to health,while others have welcomed coffee for its supposed benefits to health.

According to a scientific report,mild coffee consumption,three to five cups per day,can he taken as a healthy dietary pattern,along with other healthful behaviors.The report also says that coffee consumption helps reduce the risk of heart disease and it protects against Parkinson's disease.

According to Dr.Donald Hensrud of Mayo Clinic,high consumption of coffee has health risks.Dr.Hensrud mentions the dangers of high coffee consumption for people with a certain illness that slows the breakdown of caffeine in the body.Some studies said that drinking two or more cups of coffee daily can actually increase the risk of heart disease in these people.

According to conclusions from a recent study led by Dr.Gregory Marcus,a doctor from the University of California San Francisco,daily moderate consumption of caffeine,less than 4 cups,is not associated with these issues.

Until the scientific community reaches a general agreement on the effects of coffee consumption on human health,it will be up to the individual to decide whether the benefits of drinking coffee are greater than the risks.

When informed of these possible health benefits and harms of drinking coffee,Harwood,a high school student stated,"Even though there might be some negative effects of drinking coffee,for the most part,coffee drinking sounds good for health.Not to mention I need coffee to stay awake."

32.What is the people's attitude towards the effects of coffee on health according to Paragraph 1?

A.Disapproving.                B.Tolerant.          C.Doubtful.                       D.Mixed.

33.What does the underlined word "moderate" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A.Personal.                 B.Slight.               C.Reasonable.                   D.Heavy.

34.What can we infer about Harwood?

A.He'll keep on drinking coffee.                     B.He loves his high school life.

C.He often falls asleep in class.                   D.He has some health problems.

35.What would be the best title for the text?

A.Why People Love Coffee?                      B.How Coffee Affects Health?

C.The Culture of Coffee Drinking               D.The New Findings of Heart Disease

In order to help customers find what they want quickly, it's important to keep the thousands of titles in the Main Street Movies store organized properly. This section will tell you how to organize videos.

Each Main Street Movies store has three main sections:

1. New Releases Wall

2. Film Library

3. Video Games

New Releases Wall. Almost 70 percent of movie rentals (租赁) are new releases, and that is the first place that most customers go when they enter the store. The center section of shelves on this wall holds Hottest Hits. When new titles come into the store, place them on this wall in alphabetical (字母的) order. After 30 days, move the Hottest Hits titles to the shelves on either side called Recent Releases, again in alphabetical order. Titles stay on these shelves eight to ten months before being moved to Film Library shelves.

Film Library. Thousands of titles in the Film Library are organized into categories (类别). The films within each category are displayed alphabetically. Here are the categories and their two-letter computer codes:

Video Games. Games in our store are also arranged together, in alphabetical order. Although video games represent only a small percentage of our inventory ( 存货), they are stolen more often than any other type of videos in our store. Therefore, video games are never displayed on the shelves. Shelves in the Video Games section hold

cards with pictures and information about each game. When a customer wants to rent a particular game, he or she will bring you the card. You then get the game from the locked case behind the counter ( 柜台), and file the card in the “Video Game Rentals” box. When the game is returned, you put the card back on the appropriate shelf so that it is available for another customer.

25. How are new movies moved through the store?

A. From Hottest Hits to Film Library to Recent Releases.

B. From Film Library to Hottest Hits to Recent Releases.

C. From Hottest Hits to Recent Releases to Film Library.

D. From Recent Releases to Film Library to Hottest Hits.

26. Video games are locked behind the counter _____.

A. because there're so few games in the store   B. because there's no shelf to display them

C. in case someone damages them            D. in case someone steals them

27. For whom is the passage most probably written?

A. The store's manager.          B. The store's suppliers.

C. The store's customers.         D. The store's salespeople.

Should e­cigarettes (electronic cigarettes) be a new choice for the smokers trying to get rid of the habit? Reactions from Americans are mixed. More than half of the people questioned in a survey think e­cigarettes should be controlled by the US Food and Drug Administration, but 47 percent believe the e­cigarettes should be available to the smokers who want to quit.

“In the hunt for a safer cigarette, e­cigarettes are becoming a popular choice among those either trying to quit or looking to replace standard tobacco smoke with an alternative that manufacturers claim to be safer” Zogby International, which conducted the survey, said in a statement.

About half of the 4,611 adults who took part in the survey had heard about e­cigarettes，which are battery­powered，or rechargeable cigarettes that vaporize a liquid nicotine solution. They do not produce smoke but a water vapor without smell. Sold mostly on the Internet, e­cigarettes were first made in China.

Last year the World Health Organization (WHO) warned against using e­cigarettes, saying there was no evidence to prove they were safe or helped smokers break the habit. The WHO said people who smoke e­cigarettes breathe in a fine fog of nicotine into the lungs.

Nearly a third of people questioned in the survey think that e­cigarettes should be allowed in places where smoking is forbidden, because they don’t produce smoke, but 46 percent disagree. Men who were aware of the availability of e­cigarettes were more likely than women to say they should be a choice available to smokers who want to quit. Young people，aged 18-29，and singles were the groups most open to trying e­cigarettes. Smoking is the single largest cause of preventable death worldwide, according to the WHO.

29.What can we learn from Paragraph 1?

A. American smokers ought to try e­cigarettes.

B. Americans have different opinions about e­cigarettes.

C. Every kind of cigarettes should be forbidden in America.

D. Most of the Americans don’t like e­cigarettes.

30.According to Zogby International, e­cigarettes ______.

A. are much safer than common cigarettes   　　B. are produced in a safer way by manufacturers

C. will take the place of traditional cigarettes D. are popular among people who want to quit smoking

31.What’s the attitude of the WHO towards e­cigarettes?

A. Indifferent  　　 B. Supportive       　　C. Doubtful     　　　 D. Negative

Those who are in love really know each other's thoughts and can see into one another's ice cream bowl.This truth became so clear to me the other day.

At about 11:00 a.m.,my husband Gary called from work to see what was up at home."Oh nothing,"I said,"just having a little early lunch."Then he said,"So how's the coffee ice cream I bought?"I could almost "hear" him smiling.

"What?"I was stunned.How in the world did he know I was eating ice cream?I never eat the ice cream, especially in the morning.Besides,he knows that I had been trying to diet again.However,I could hardly hide the laughter in my voice as I calmly asked,"Why would you think I'm eating coffee ice cream?"

Gary said,"Uh...first,you said 'Just having a little early lunch' in a guilty,high voice.Second,your tongue must be rather cold because your words were a bit slow."What he said made me laugh out loud."The other thing is,I noticed you left some coffee ice cream untouched last night.That was like me hiding some cigarettes in the corner to enjoy later."

We laughed long and hard together before he asked me gently,"What happened?Er...something must have happened to make you eat ice cream before lunch."

Living alone in a foreign country can be difficult. Safety is a big problem, and I must be careful and stay vigilant(警惕的)all the time.

Boston is a strange city. It may look wonderful in one area but, just a block later, you no longer feel safe. Run-down buildings, scary-looking sculpture, and suspicious robber-like people: It makes my hair stand up to walk alone after dark. Therefore, I try to go to the city during the day and only when I really have to, I had to go there today to get some Chinese food for my presentation on Chinese snacks.

Unfortunately, I missed the 5:50 train back to Andover and the next one wouldn’t come for three hours. Rich, a guy I met on the way to the station, also missed the train. He said his friends would pick him up by car and could give me a ride if I wanted. I decided to accept his offer, because I thought I would be able to get home more quickly this way.

The next thing I knew,Ｉwas on the subway to Rich’s apartment in another part of Boston. On the ride, he told me about his Scottish origins(血统)and poor family background. I knew he wasn’t the kind of “proper” guy you met in Andover. Although I trusted Rich, I didn’t go up to his apartment. Entering a stranger’s house is dangerous so I stayed outside and waited for his friends. It was a long wait and Rich came down to chat with me. I learned then that he had been a drug addict and was still a drug dealer. He showed me his parts, where he used to inject(注射)heroin.

Although he didn’t make his money legally ,I was sure he would not harm me. And indeed, Rich got me back to campus safely.

Living in a small town and getting a job at such    71    young age was unusual. But my Father owned Beyond Tours. So    72    (nature) on most of my school    73    (break) I would go as a helping hand! Most trips would be with around 70 exchange students    74    (age) 16 to 19!

   Microphones are high-end electronic devices(装置）of great help at the time of a voice chat, video chat and recording. 36 Some of the common microphone problems along with their solutions are listed below.

    If the device does not work.

    There is a common problem you might have faced at some point of time. 37 Some of the computers have panels (控制板）on the front which contain microphone plugs.

I’m very glad to have received the letter you sent me two weeks before. I have been thought about the question raised in your letter. In my opinion, you should go back after you finish your studies at abroad. For one thing, that you are studying is badly needed nowadays in our country. It will be quite easily for you to find a good job. In fact, I know that a few big company in our city hope to hire people like you. For another, I think it will be more convenient for you look after your parents because they are getting older and older. And this is only my point of view. It is up to me to make a right choice.
