      It is a familiar scene these days: employees taking newly laid-off co-workers

out for a drink for comfort. But which side deserves sympathy more, the jobless

or the still employed? On March 6, researchers at a conference at the University

of Cambridge heard data suggesting it's the latter.

    Brendan Burchell, a Cambridge sociologist, presented his analysis based on

various surveys conducted across Europe. The data suggest that employed people

who feel insecure in their jobs show similar levels of anxiety and depression as

those who are unemployed. Although a newly jobless person's mental health may

“bottom out" after about six months, and then even begin to improve, the

mental state of people who are continuously worried about losing their job “just

continues to get worse and worse", Burchell says.

     Evolutionary psychologists support this theory by arguing that human beings

feel more stress during times of insecurity because they sense an immediate but

invisible threat. Patients have been known to experience higher levels of anxiety,

for example, while waiting for examination results than knowing what they are

suffering from-even if the result is cancer. It's better to get the bad news and

start doing something about it rather than wait with anxiety. When the

uncertainty continues, people stay in a nonstop “fight or flight" response, which

leads to damaging stress.

     But not every employee in insecure industries has such a discouraging view,

Burchell says. In general, women get on better. While reporting higher levels of

anxiety than men when directly questioned, women scored lower in stress on the

GHQ 12, even when they had a job they felt insecure about losing. As Burchell

explains, “For women, most studies show that any job-it doesn't matter

whether it is secure or insecure-gives psychological improvement over

unemployment. " Burchell supposes that the difference in men is that they tend to

feel pressure not only to be employed, but also to be the primary breadwinner,

and that more of a man's self-worth depends on his job.

28. Why do researchers think the still employed deserve sympathy more?

    A. They have to do more work since then.

    B. They have no chance to find better jobs.

     C. They have to work with inexperienced workers.

     D. They constantly worry about losing their jobs.

29. What is most likely to cause a “fight or flight" response?

    A. Not having a paid job.

    B. Fierce competition for jobs.

     C. Not knowing what will happen.

     D. Pressure to work longer hours.

30. What will the writer talk about following the last paragraph?

     A. Advice on preparing a job interview.

     B. Advice to those in insecure industries.

    C. Some knowledge of psychology.

     D. Difference in men and women.

31. What could be the best title for the text?

     A. Is it less stressful to get laid off than stay on?

    B. Should greater sympathy be given to the jobless?

    C. Do employees bear more stress than ever before?

     D. Do men or women show higher levels of anxiety?

  ___39     It is very important to know what your teachers are expecting from you. Pay attention to what the teacher is saying about the workload of the class and what they are hoping for you to get out of it. Knowing their expectations and achieving them will help your year start smoothly. Always remember that communicating with your teachers is the key to understanding their expectations.

   Make a list of your academic goals. Write out a list of goals that you want to achieve for the upcoming school year. Do you want to play the lead role in they play, have a wonderful performance on the basketball team or improve your grades?

The human population of Sri Lanka is now believed to be over 20 million. As a result, large areas of trees are being turned into farmland, highways are being built over centuries—old elephant migration(迁徙) routes, and elephants are being driven out of their habitats. This change causes turmoil, resulting in an increased number of uncontrollable events between elephants and humans.

   The good news is that there is one place called the Elephant Transit Home(ETH) in Udawalawe National Park, the main purpose of which is to protect and care for baby elephants that are found injured or living without their mothers in the wild. A day at the ETH begins early in the morning when the baby elephants are given their first feeding of milk. During the course of the day, each baby will drink an average of 13 gallons of milk. Older elephant are fed mostly coconut leaves as well as other native plants. Then the elephants are set free to wander in the park, eating growing grass and forming a herd.

   The ETH spends almost $125,000 each year on powdered milk for these baby animals. To help pay for food and medical supplies, the ETH has a foster（领养）parent program. Anyone, even schoolchildren, can help a lot by giving money to care for a baby elephant. While some foster parents are too faraway to visit the baby elephant being cared for at the ETH, local schoolchildren play an important part in the program. Foster parents can name their elephants, take photographs of them, and even help send them back into the wild.

   Now visitors are not encouraged to get close to the elephants. The goal of the ETH is for the elephants to return to the wild in the end. It usually takes three years for a baby elephant to be sent back into its natural habitat. The elephants are often set free together with other animals with whom they have close relationships. This program helps them return to the wild as members of a herd that will communicate with each other and take care of each other.

I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany． In the beginning, when I didn't understand a word, I insisted on translating it in my mind．   75  Then, after the first six months, I discovered two extremely important facts; Firstly, translating creates a barrier between the listener and the speaker． Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly． By remaining calm, I noticed that even if I didn’t pay much attention I could usually understand what the speaker had said．

       A．What should you do?

       B．But listening is a problem for most of the beginners!

       C．However, after several weeks, I got used to the grammar rules

       D．The most important thing is to listen as often as possible．

       E．This method usually resulted in confusion．

       F．Listen for the general idea of the conversation．

       G．But you can’t follow a native English speaker at all!

Paracutin was born in Mexico in February, 1943. At the end of one week Paracutin was 500 feet high, and it is now over 9, 000 feet high. Today Paracutin is asleep.

What is Paracutin? It was the first volcano in the world which was seen from its birth right up to the present day. On February 20, 1943, a peasant and his wife set out to work in their corn fields from the Mexican village of Paracutin. They were surprised to find the earth warm under their feet. Suddenly they heard noises deep in the earth and a small hole appeared in their field. In the afternoon there was a sudden loud noise and stones were thrown high in the air. The peasants ran from the field and turned to watch. They saw the birth of a volcano.

    Large quantities of stone and lava(岩浆) broke out and a little hill began to form. By evening this hill was 100 feet high and hot ashes were falling on the village. At night the strong light of the hot lava lit up the countryside. The trees near the village were killed and the villagers had to leave their houses. When the village was destroyed, its name was given to the volcano. The news quickly reached Mexico City, far to the east. Many people came to watch the scene. The volcano grew and grew for ten years and hundreds of square miles of forest were destroyed. Then Paracutin went to sleep.

   We all know what a brain is.  A doctor will tell you that the brain is the organ of

the body in the head. It controls our body's functions, movements, emotions and

thoughts. But a brain can mean so much more.

     A brain can also simply be a smart person,  If a person is called brainy, she is smart

and intelligent.  If a family has many children but one of them is super smart, you could say, "She's the brains in the family. " And if you are the brains behind something you

.are responsible for developing or organizing something.  For example, Bill Gates is the

brains behind Microsoft

     Brain trust is a group of experts who give advice.  Word experts say the phrase

"brain trust" became popular when Franklin D. Roosevelt first ran for president in

 1932,  Several professors gave him advice on social and political issues facing the U. S.

    These professors were called his "brain trust. "

    These ways we use the word "brain" all make sense. But other ways we use the

word are not so easy to understand.  For example, to understand the next brain

expression, you first need to know the word“drain." As a verb to drain means to,

remove something by letting it flow away. So a brain drain may sound like a disease

where the brain flows out the ears.  But, brain drain is when a country's most educated

people leave their countries to live in another.  The brains are,sort of,draining out of the

country.

       However,if people are responsible for a great idea,you could say they brainstormed

it. Here,brainstorm is not an act of weather.  It is a process of thinking creatively about

a complex topic. For example,  business leaders may use brainstorming to create new

products, and government leaders may brainstorm to solve problems.

      If people are brainwashed, it does not mean their brains are nice and clean.  To

brainwash means to make someone accept new beliefs by using repeated pressure in a

forceful or tricky way. Keep in mind that brainwash is never used in a positive way.

29. According to the text, if you're the CEO of  Bai Du you can be called

   A. the brains behind Bai Du

   B. Bai Du's brain trust

   C. the brain drain of Bai Du

   D. the organ of Bai Du

30. Why did Roosevelt successfully win the election?

   A. Because he was smart at giving advice.

    B. Because word experts were popular.

   C. Because he got his brain trust.

   D. Because he was the brains behind America.

31. Which of the following expression is always used in a negative way?

   A. Brain trust      B. Brain  drain        C. Brainstorm           D. Brainwash

 The team, _______ to climb the world’s second tallest mountain twice, finally decided to give up.

Before I studied psychology, I used to think that people would laugh when funny things occurred. While I was right about that, I discovered there are lots of other psychological factors that make people laugh other than the funny part of a joke. When someone laughs at a joke, there will usually be more than one reason that makes him laugh—and the more reasons there are, the more powerful the joke will be.

I was attending a stand-up comedy show in Egypt, and when the man started to make fun of pedestrians crossing streets, everyone laughed their hearts out. The main reason those people strongly laughed was that almost all of them felt angry towards pedestrians who crossed streets carelessly. The joke wasn’t only funny, it also made the audience feel that they were right about being angry at those pedestrians. That is, people were laughing both because of the funny joke and because of the happiness experienced as a result of the psychological support they got.

The better a joke makes a person feel, and the more it includes other psychological factors, the more the person will like it. For example, if you envy one of your friends, and someone tells a joke that is funny and, at the same time, makes your friend seem stupid, then you will probably laugh at it louder than if you weren’t jealous of him.

In short, we don’t laugh only when we hear something funny; we also laugh when we experience some kind of happiness that results from the other psychological factors involved in the joke. I strongly discourage making fun of anyone or belittling someone to make someone else laugh. All I want to explain is that if your joke supports a person’s emotions, he will certainly like it a lot.

32. What did the author find out after studying psychology?

A. Only good jokes make people laugh

B. Many factors lead to people laughing.

C. Funny things can make people laugh

D. Laughter can make people healthy.

33. Why did the audience laugh loud at the pedestrians?

A. They played a trick on the pedestrians.

B. The pedestrians behaved in a funny way.

C. They could feel the pedestrians’ happiness.

D. Their emotion was approved of by the show.

34. What does the underlined word “belittling” probably mean?

A. Annoy B. Blame C. Look down on D. Make up to

35. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?

        36    Sometimes they try to get out of a class to escape a teacher they don’t like. Here is some advice to solve this problem.

Ask yourself, “What can I learn from this teacher?” Even if you don’t worship (崇拜) his or her personality or lectures, dig deep until you find a subject in which he or she is very knowledgeable. Focus on that part of the teacher’s personality, and use him or her as a tool for learning. Not only will you gain more knowledge in that subject, but a closer relationship with your teacher may help you understand one another better.    37   

Talk to students who are doing well in the class and ask them for tips, tools, and a plan of action to get along with the teacher better.    38   

If you still can’t get along, make an appointment with the school guidance counselor (辅导员). He or she will offer many tips and suggestions for you to get out of difficult teacher relationships.    39    That means they can help you and your teachers get rid of the bad impression on each other.

    40    Your parents can meet with your teacher and try to work it out.

Teachers are there for more than just homework, and they know about more than just their subject matter. They can help you learn how to function as an adult and a lifelong learner.

Undoubtedly, these will be a few teachers along the way who you will always remember and who might change your life forever.

A. If your relationship problems can’t be solved in school, then it’s time to tell your parents or guardians.

B. If you’re too shy to talk to another student, study his or her actions and behavior in the classroom and try to follow that lead.

C. Students don’t always get along well with their teachers.

D. There must be something good in every teacher for you to learn from.

E.     Students find it easy to get along well with their teachers.

F.     Sometimes a guidance counselor can act as a mediator between you and the teacher.

G. Guidance counselors have the right to blame teachers.
