In 1947 a group of famous people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music, dance and theatre in Edinburgh. The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.

       At the same time, the “Fringe” appeared as a challenge to the official festival. Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947, in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform, and they did so in a public house disused for years.

       Soon, groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University, and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theatre by little-known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh.

       Today the “Fringe”, once less recognized, has far outgrown the festival with around 1,500 performances of theatre, music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts. And yetas early as 1959, with only 19 theatre groups performing, some said it was getting too big.

       A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971, and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself. In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1,695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries. More than 1,25 million tickets were sold.

45. What was the purpose of Edinburgh Festival at the beginning?

    A. To bring Europe together again.

B. To honor heroes of World War 11.

C. To introduce young theatre groups.

D. To attract great artists from Europe.

Today I visited the Smiths—my first time visit to a American family. They live in a small town. It was very kind for them to meet me at the railway station and drove me to their home.

Next time you find yourself drenched (湿透) in an unexpected heavy rain, look on the bright side – it will be a memorable experience. While wet weather may make us feel gloomy, it sharpens the memory and improves our recall. But those who feel in a good mood because it’s a sunny day are able to remember less well, according to memory tests carried by Australian researchers.

Professor Joe Forgas who led the research, said: “It seems strange but a little bit of sadness is a good thing. People performed much better on our memory test when the weather was unpleasant and they wee in a slightly negative mood. On bright sunny days, when they were more likely to be happy, the flunked it.”

The tests were carried out on shoppers at a store in Sydney, where researchers randomly placed ten small objects on the check – out counter. On rainy days, sad music was played in the store. When it was bright and sunny, customers heard cheery music. This was done to further influence them towards negative or positive moods. After shopping, customers were asked how many of the objects they could remember. Their scores were three times higher when the weather was had and they were feeling angry, compared with those tested on sunny days. The results were published in Journal of Experimental Psychology. A report on the findings said: “They point to a growing body of evidence that the way people think, the quality of their judgments and the accuracy of their memory are all significantly influenced by positive and negative moods.”

Professor Forgas said, “We found that weather – inducted negative mood improved memory accuracy. Shoppers in a negative mood showed better memory and higher discrimination ability.”

A worse mood helped to focus people’s attention on their surroundings and led to a more thorough and careful thinking style, while happiness increased confidence and forgetfulness.

Being happy tends to promote a thinking style that is less focused on our surroundings. In a positive mood we are less likely to make more snap (匆忙的) judgments about people we meet. Mild negative mood, in turn, tends to increase attention to our surroundings and produce a more careful, thorough thinking style.

Accurately remembering everyday scenes is a difficult task, yet such memories can be on importance in everyday life. Surprisingly, the influence of mood states on the accuracy of real-life memories is still poorly understood.

The stories we share with one another are important. They show wisdom and provide inspiration. They are important to our development. But sometimes people choose not to tell.

Consider the negative effects of not sharing a story in the news: People are wondering if public health officials are holding back too much information about the recent outbreak of Ebola.

There is a danger in holding back stories that ought to be told. Bobette Buster said it like this, “The fact is, history has shown us that stories not told can become like a dangerous genie (妖怪) left in a bottle. When they are finally uncorked, their power to destroy is set free.”

There are a number of reasons why we hide parts of our story: they often show our weaknesses or expose our disadvantages; they require courage and strength to share; and of course, there are some stories that should be kept secret—especially those that embarrass someone else.

Most of us have two selves: the one we display on the outside and the one we actually are on the inside. And the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves, the more damage we may be causing to ourselves and to others.

Honesty and openness is important: It proves we are trustworthy. It displays we are human. We are not perfect or better. It highlights the importance of hard work and personal development. Hard work may not allow us to overcome our disadvantages completely. But with hard work, we do not have to be restricted to our mistakes.

Does this mean we admit every weakness, every disadvantage, and every secret regret to everybody we meet? No, of course not. There is a time and a place and a certain level of relationship necessary for some stories to be told in an appropriate manner.

1. What’s the function of the example in Paragraph 2?

A. It reflects that people are concerning about the spread of Ebola.

B. It shows the bad effect caused by sharing a story.

C. It proves not sharing a story can cause trouble.

D. It concludes that one should share a story at a proper time.

2. One of the reasons why people are unwilling to share experiences is that _______.

A. story-sharing highlights the importance of hard work

B. people are used to exposing their weaknesses

C. people sometimes have no courage to share their stories

D. some stories make themselves feel uneasy

3. Which is close in meaning to the underlined word “uncorked” in Paragraph 3?

A. freed      B. broken      C. unfolded      D. untouched

4. The writer aims to convince us to _______.

A. be open to people close to you by sharing some secrets

B. share stories appropriately for the good of others and ourselves

C. remove the dangers that can be caused by untold stories

D. realize the importance of being honest when making friends

 _______ that he had broken the flower vase his father liked most, his heart beat wildly.

A. Realizing              B. Having realized          C. When he realized    D. He realized

At age 14, 15 and 16, the way we looked was the most important thing in the world to us. My friends and I wanted nothing less than perfection.

In high school, we joined the gymnastics team, and our __41__ became even more important to us. We had no fat, only muscle. On the weekends, we would go to the beach, __42__ of our flat stomachs.

One summer day, all my friends were at my house__43__. At one point, I was running back to the pool. I __44__ on a bee, and while it was dying under my foot, it stung (蛰) me. I instantly started to feel __45__. That night, I began to run a high fever and my leg and foot were red, hot and swollen. I couldn’t walk. I could barely __46__.

When my foot started to go numb, everyone became more __47__. My foot was not getting enough blood. I had to go to the hospital, and my leg __48__ as if it were badly broken. I couldn’t move. All I could do was think about how soft my middle was becoming. That __49__ me more than any concern over my leg.

That would all __50__when I heard the doctors mention possibly cutting off my foot. It was still not getting the __51__ supply it needed. The doctors would have to speed up their treatment.

Never before did I have such great __52__ for my foot. And walking seemed like a __53__ from the gods. Less and less I wanted to hear my friends talk about __54__ and who was wearing what. More and more I expected visits from other kids in the hospital, who were quickly becoming my friends.

One girl came to visit me __55__. Every time she came, she brought flowers. She was recovering from cancer and felt she should come back and __56__ the other patients.

She still had no hair, and she was swollen from the medications she had been taking. I would not have given this girl a second __57__ before. I now loved every inch of her and looked forward to her __58__.

Finally, I was improving and soon I went home. My leg was still swollen, __59__ I was walking, and I had my foot! When I would go back to the hospital, I often saw my friend. She was still visiting people and __60__ good cheer. I thought if there was an angel on this earth, it had to be her.

She was only about five feet tall and probably never weighed more than 110 pounds. However, Miss Bessie was a(n)     21    presence in the classroom. From 1938 to 1942, when I attended Bernard High School, she taught me a lot    22    I realized.

There was never a(n)     23     problem in Miss Bessie’s classes. We didn’t dare to trouble a woman who knew about the Battle of Hasting and could also play the piano and     24   Shakespeare and Milton.

Miss Bessie knew that my family couldn’t afford to buy a newspaper. She knew we didn’t    25    own a radio. Still, she    26     me to “look out for your    27  and find some way to   28    what’s going on in the world.”    29    I became a delivery boy who delivered newspapers. I   30    made a dollar a week, but I got to read a newspaper every day.

Miss Bessie noticed things that had nothing to do with schoolwork but were vital to a youngster’s   31   . Once a few classmates made fun of my    32     overcoat. As I was leaving school, Miss Bessie    33    me on the back of that old overcoat and said, “ Carl, never worry about what you don’t have. Just make the most of what you do have--- a(n)    34   .

   Among the things that I didn’t have was     35     in the little wooden house. But because of her    36   , I spent many hours beside a kerosene lamp(煤油灯) reading Shakespeare. Miss Bessie introduced me    37    a wonderful world of poems and stories. She led me to     38     that I could write poems as well as Shakespeare.

So I read   39    Miss Bessie told me to, and tried to remember the things she insisted that I store. Years later, her encouragement finally led to that lovely day when Miss Bessie dropped me a note    40    “I’m so proud to read your article in The Times.”

    Street art is a very popular form of art    61     is spreading quickly all over the world. You can find it on    62     (building), sidewalks and street signs. Now even art museums and galleries     63    (collect) the works of street artists.

      People often have different opinions about street art. Some think it is a kind of destruction (破坏) and   64   think it is a very beautiful new form of culture.

     In the street art world graffiti (涂鸦）can be the most popular. It began in New York in the 1960s. First some young people painted words and images on the walls. They found the paintings could show their   65    (disagree) against society. Later, this colorful, energetic style of writing became    66    (know) as graffiti.

   Street artists do this for    67    reason. Some of them think they are closer to the people, while others try to express their    68    (politics) opinions.

   In today’s world, the Internet has a big influence   69    street art. Artists can show their pictures to audiences all over the world. The street art movement lives with the energy and life of cities. It will continue    70   (change) and grow.

    Few people would disagree that email makes our lives easier. But misusing email can cause problems. And I’m not talking about hitting the “reply all” button when you didn’t mean to.

    Answering all those emails and processing all that information can overload the brain,causing stress.

    So says the Future Work Centre, a business based in London.This company carries out psychological research on people’s experiences in their workplaces.

    The centre’s Richard MacKinnon was the lead writer of a report on messaging habits. He calls email a double-edged sword. In other works,email can be both good and bad. Americans also use the saying cuts both ways for something like a double-edged sword.

    But back to the culture of emailing,Emails provide a useful way to communicate. But they could add to tension in the mind,causing stress. Come rain or shine, some office workers are under pressure to read and answer emails all day long.

    Jonathan Rowe has on office job in London. His complaint is a common one:too many emails.

He says reading work emails when you’re at home blurs the boundaries between work and leisure.

    Psychologists are concemed about the pressure that workers bring on themselves. Dr. Richard MacKinnon spoke with VOA News on Skype.

    He says that email can be a valuable, time-saving communication tool. But it can also be a  source of stress and even anger for many of us. He adds that the stress does not come from the number of emails you get. The problems result from when and how you deal with them.

   According to the study,there are two very stressful email behaviors. One is leaving email on all day-and never signing off. The other is reading and answering emails early in the day and late at night.

Which jobs are most affected by email stress?

But not all jobs are equally stressed by email. The jobs most affected by email stress are:

· marketing,

· public relations,

· media and

· Information Technology

Educational experts have also written several reports on how email overloads are stressing out teachers.

Ways to cut down on your email stress

MacKinnon says bad email behaviors are linked to higher levels of stress in office workers. The Future Work Centre report gives several suggestions on avoiding email stress.

·Use email with a plan. Do not just react to endless email alerts. If you use an email

application, or app ,on your device, close it down when you want to be left alone.

·If you need to communicate with a co-worker,call or better still walk to their office and

talk about it.

·Be careful with the “reply all” option. For example, if you are accepting an invitation to

attend training, just write back to those who need to know. Trust me. Other workers on that mailing list will thank you.

 ·And accept the fact that if a matter is urgent employers will call you about it.

The Future Work Centre report claims that in 2014, people sent an estimated 196.3 billion emails. The average adult spent more than an hour a day answering emails.

   Email is certainly not going anywhere. So, it is important to control your emails and not the other way around.

●Does failure really exist?

If you believe you have failed, then you have.  If you believe you don’t have the ability to succeed, then you don’t.     36     The moment you decide to give up or stop working toward your goals, failure is born.

●    37   

Most people give themselves an out without even realizing it. They are willing to work hard on reaching their goals, but only until the going gets too rough or their energy dies down.  Don’t do that!     38      Never quit, never admit failure, and never lose heart.

●Don’t believe in a clear finish line for goals.

It’s a good idea to set a general timeline, but remember that something will be beyond your control.      39     If you lock yourself into a given timeline, you might make yourself feel like a failure!  Instead, get a general idea of when you’d like your goal to be completed. Then take it one day at a time and focus on making progress instead of reaching the finish line in as little time as possible.

●Be sure that you don’t see difficulties as failures.

Difficulties mean only one thing: it’s not time for your goal to be completed yet.  That’s it!  It doesn’t mean you failed; it doesn’t mean you’re weak; it doesn’t mean you’ll never achieve your goals.     40     You’ve got to keep moving forward and find a way over, around, or through the difficulties.

A. Never give up on yourself.

B. Failure only exists in your own mind!

C. That’s exactly how failure makes us feel.

D. It simply means you have not done enough yet.

E. You can never say exactly when your goal will be reached.

F. Instead, make up your mind to make your goal happen, no matter what!

G. Work hard towards your goal, and you will be likely to get good results.
