PERTH—Search crews will send a submarine(潛航器)deep into the Indian Ocean on Monday for the first time to try to determine whether signals detected by sound-locating equipment are from the  missing Malaysian plane's black boxes, the Australian head of the search said.
Angus Houst on said the crew on board the Ocean Shield  will send the underwater vehicle sometime Monday evening. The Bluefin 21 submarine can create a sonar(聲吶)map of the area to chartany wreckage(殘骸)on the seafloor.
The move comes after crews picked up a series of underwater sounds over the past two weeks that were consistent with an aircraft's black boxes.
“We haven’t had a single detection in six days, and l guess it’s time to go under water,” said Houston.
“Analysis of the four signals has reduced the search area on the ocean floor. The experts have therefore determined that the Australian Defense Vessel Ocean Shield will stop searching with the Towed Pinger Locator(拖曳聲波定位儀)later today and use the underwater vehicle Bluefin 21 as soon as possible," he said at a news conference in Perth.
But Houston warned the switch to the submarine will not automatically "result in the detection of the aircraft wreckage. It may not.”
He said the submarine will take 24 hours to do each task, including two hours to dive, 16 hours to search the bottom, then two more hours hack up and four hours to download data.
Recovering the plane's flight data and cockpit(飛行員座艙)voice recorders is necessary For investigators to try to figure out what happened to Flight 370, which disappeared on March 8. 
Houston said the search using the submarine will be a slaw and painstaking process.
The submarine takes six times longer to cover the same area as the pinger locator,and will need about six weeks to two months to examine the present underwater zone. The signals are also coming from 4,500 meters (15,000 feet) below the surface, which is the deepest the submarine can dive.
【小題1】The submarine will be sent deep into the Indian Ocean on Monday to _____ .

A．create a sonar trap of the area
B．pick up underwater sounds
C．see if the signals detected are from the target black boxes
D．reduce the search area on the ocean floor
【小題2】According to the passage, the submarine_______ .
A．will download data of the black boxes
B．can find the aircraft wreckage within 24 hours
C．will recover the plane's flight data and voice recorder
D．can dive to a depth of no more than 4,500 meters
【小題3】The underlined sentences in the passage indicate that______.
A．the switch of the submarine may not function properly
B．the Ocean Shield will switch to submarine when it is necessary
C．the submarine will detect the wreckage of the plane automatically
D．the detection of the wreckage can't be guaranteed by using the submarine
【小題4】The search will be a slow and painstaking process, mainly because _____ .
A．the underwater sounds were consistent with an aircraft's black boxes
B．the submarine travels slowly and the ocean is deep
C．they haven't had a single detection in six days
D．Ocean Shield stops searching wine the towed pinger locator

On Sept. 11, an unseen enemy launched an attack on economic, military and governmental
Landmarks(標(biāo)志) of the United States.
Beyond the tremendous(巨大的) loss of innocent lives and physical property, the attack was clearly aimed at the ideals of America—our values and the economic system that has made the U.S. economy the envy of the world.
Those responsible for these acts portray(描繪)the United States as the embodiment(化身)of all that is evil
With globalization and the worldwide economy it has spawned. They use the failures of globalization as an excuse to exploit their millions of constituents in the underdeveloped world.
Sometime soon, the U.S. military will strike back against those who it is determined have committed these acts. A military response is appropriate – some would say overdue(期待已久). But even if the military objective is achieved, that alone will not get to the heart of the matter.
It is crucial that the U.S. economy return to full speed ahead and continue to be the driving force behind expansion of the global economy.
Globalization, or at least the present phase of it, generally is viewed as having started with the end of the Cold War in 1989. And for all its shortcomings, the free flow of goods, services, capital and labor across the borders of the world’s trading nations — the process that has come to be called globalization—still offers the best chance to fulfill the dreams of so many of the world’s poor.
【小題1】The attack on Sept. 11 caused _____.

A．loss to both the military forces and the ordinary citizens in the U.S.
B．a(chǎn) large variety of losses among the American people
C．greater loss to the American government than the citizens
D．less loss in the economy of the U.S. than the American ideals
【小題2】The unseen enemy launched the attack because ________.
A．some people were jealous of the richness of the United States
B．the development of globalization frightened those who were conservative
C．everything evil might be thought to have something to do with the U.S.
D．the United States was considered the most evil country all over the world
【小題3】According to the writer, a military response ________.
A．will be successful very soon

【小題4】What benefit will the globalization be of?
A．It will bring the expansion of the world’s economy.
B．The poor will become rich overnight if it is realized.
C．Nations will be too friendly to start a war against each other.
D．The borders between the nations will be abandoned soon.
【小題5】What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．Economical factors are of great importance in international affairs.
B．The event on Sept. 11 has slowed down the process of globalization.
C．Military forces are necessary in the course of the development of economy.
D．The progress of globalization depends on the recovery of American economy.

Did you see American figure skater, Jeremy Abbott, crash to the ice during the short program at the Sochi Olympics, rolling into the wall, clutching his side in pain. Ten seconds later, he got up and continued his skate—despite the pain, embarrassment and fear. All I could think was: this kid’s got courage. In business we have a word for it—resilience, the ability to gain strengths and confidence from overcoming unpleasant events.

However, opposite examples appeared in Sochi Olympics as well. For them, failure is someone else’s fault, because they do not accept personal responsibility. Therefore, they have to pay a high price for this attitude. After years of studying failure, I have learned one thing: modesty and open-mindedness in the face of mistakes is the single best thing you can do to improve results. Everyone fails, but not everyone recovers from failure. The key is to learn from it rather than get beaten by it.
The good news is that each of us has the potential to live a resilient life on and off the job. It may be difficult, but that just makes it all the more powerful and important. If you believe the above paragraph to be true, then you’re probably more resilient than you think you are. It takes confidence to be resilient but that too much confidence is a killer is so true of leadership. For example, Ron Johnson, the ill-fated CEO of JC Penney, was so stubborn that he completely missed all sorts of signals from employees and customers and instead listened to all those who agreed with him, which failed his strategy. Bouncing back from failure requires that you recognize something has gone wrong, and you were the one who made it happen.
The challenge of resilience is not just about our work. When parents help their kids deal with every challenging situation, they are doing an unhelpful action to their children. Parents want to protect their kids from failure, but doing so takes away the opportunity from them to practice not just a life skill but an essential work skill. When self-esteem becomes more important than results, we are accidently training young people to become less adaptable, not more.
Resilience is not just about getting up off the floor, but also being ready for whatever comes next, even when you don’t know what it is. Failures and setbacks are no longer unusual events, but regular features of a dynamic, competitive and highly demanding work environment. Getting up to finish your skate is no longer optional.
【小題1】The example of Jeremy Abbott shows that one should ______.

A．recover from failure B．stick to his own viewpoint
C．take others’ opinions to heart D．challenge difficulties bravely
【小題2】According to the author, what can best build up resilience?
A．Being positive and powerful.
B．Being competitive and helpful.
C．Being modest and open-minded.
D．Being confident and responsible.
【小題3】Which of the following examples shows us resilience?
A．A teacher offers students timely help and care.
B．A determined athlete practices skating hard every day.
C．A confident leader persuades his staff to follow his plan.
D．A student has got a low grade but continues to work hard.
【小題4】Which might be the best title for the passage?
A．An Example of Resilience: Ron Johnson
B．Resilience: A Lesson from Sochi
C．Optional Challenges of Resilience
D．Resilience in Family Education

More than a hundred reporters from around the world thronged and bustled in the Stock Exchange Building in Stockholm's Old Town for about an hour before the doors to the Swedish Academy swung open. Notably, there were many Japanese reporters present, hoping to break the news that Haruki Murakami had won the prize. Finally, the Swedish Academy's Permanent Secretary Peter Englund stepped out from the doors and said Canadian short story writer Alice Munro has won the 2013 Nobel Prize in Literature.
The following is a truncated Q&A with reporters and Englund. (The questions have been simplified and clarified.)
Why did Alice Munro win?
We gave her the Nobel Prize in Literature because she is a master of the contemporary short story.
Which book to begin with?
One of the amazing things about her is that she has no weak works in her writing. She has always worked to the best of her ability; she has always cultivated the short story to perfection. And she has never really written a weak or bad book. So you can take your pick. 'The Moons of Jupiter' was the first book I read by her and you can see both her different themes in that book and also her very special narrative mode, you can find it there. She tells her stories a bit like nobody else. She has a very economical language and sparse style. You can find that in 'The Moons of Jupiter.' You can take your pick. The latest one is obviously very interesting, 'Dear Life,' which contains a number of autobiographical sketches at the end that gives a key to the entire authorship of Alice Munro.
How was she informed?
Well, I left a message on her answering machine. I couldn't reach her and it was of course pretty early in the morning. But she will be notified by courier, by email to her both agents, by standard mail and so on.
What kind of message did you leave?
Basically, congratulations! You've won the Nobel Prize in literature.
What's the Importance of a woman winning?
Don't ask me. We picked her for excellence, nothing else. Of course it matters when you start doing the headcount. But she is no representative. She has received this prize just because of what she has done. Nothing else.
So the sexual balance doesn't count?
We don't have these kinds of quotas; thank god ... We don't have any quotas. We could, if we wanted to, award this prize four times in a row to a children's book writer working in the United States. If we wanted to. We can do as we please. We don't have to fill any quotes in any direction. We just give it to authors who show an extraordinary literary quality. One of these is Mrs. Alice Munro.
【小題1】Why were there so many Japanese reporters in the Stock Exchange Building in Stockholm's Old Town?

A．They were waiting there to report who would win the 2013 Nobel Prize in 2013.
B．They had expected that Haruki Murakami would win the prize.
C．They just wanted to be the first to report the 2013 Noble Prize winner.
D．They were waiting in the stock market to give the world a big surprise.
【小題2】Alice Munro would most probably be informed of her winning by ________?
A．picking up her answering machine B．email from both of her agents
C．standard mail D．The passage doesn’t clarify it.
【小題3】According to the passage, Alice Munro was awarded the 2013 Noble Prize in Literature mainly for ________.
A．she has an obvious advantage over Haruki Murakami
B．it is rare for a woman to have written so many perfect stories
C．she is a master of the contemporary short story

The slavery drama “12 Years a Slave” won the Academy Award for best picture on Sunday, making history as the first movie from a black director to win the film industry’s highest honor in 86 years of the Oscars. British director Steve McQueen’s brave portrayal of pre-Civil War American slavery won two other Oscars, including best supporting actress for newcomer Lupita Nyong’o and best adapted screenplay based on the memoir of Solomon Northup, a free man tricked and sold into slavery in Louisiana. “Everyone deserves not just to survive but to live. This is the most important legacy of Solomon Northup,” said McQueen in his acceptance speech.
“12 Years a Slave” was better over space thriller “Gravity” from Mexican filmmaker Alfonso Cuaron, which nevertheless got the most Oscars of the night with seven, including the best director honor for Cuaron, a first for a Latin American director.The film starring Sandra Bullock as an astronaut lost in space swept the technical awards like visual effects and cinematography, a reward for its groundbreaking work on conveying space and weightlessness. Referring to the “transformative” experience he and others undertook in the four-plus years spent making “Gravity”, Cuaron, whose hair is graying, said, “For a lot of these people, that transformation was wisdom. For me, it was just the color of my hair.”
In one of the strongest years for film in recent memory, the 6,000-plus voters of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences scattered golden Oscar statuettes among the many acclaimed movies in contention.
It was a good night for the scrappy, low-budget film “Dallas Buyers Club”, directed by Jean-Marc Vallee, a biopic of an early AIDS activist two decades in the making that won three Oscars, including the two male acting awards.
Matthew McConaughey, in a validation of a remarkable career turnaround, won best actor for his portrayal of the homophobe who turned AIDS victim and then turned treatment crusader Ron Woodroof, a role for which he lost 50 pounds (23 kg). His co-star, Jared Leto, won best supporting actor for his role as Woodroof’s unlikely business partner, the transgender woman Rayon, for which he also slimmed down drastically.
Australia’s Cate Blanchett won the best actress Oscar for her acclaimed role as the socialite unhinged by her husband’s financial crimes in Woody Allen’s “Blue Jasmine.” “As random and subjective as this award is, it means a great deal in a year of, yet again, extraordinary performances by women,” said Blanchett, who beat out previous Oscar winners Bullock, Amy Adams, Judi Dench and Meryl Streep.
【小題1】The film which won the largest number of Oscar awards this year is ______.

A．12 Years a Slave B．Gravity 
C．Dallas Buyers Club D．Blue Jasmine 
【小題2】Which director spent the least money in making the film?
A．Steve McQueen. B．Alfonso Cuaron. 
C．Jean-Marc Vallee. D．Woody Allen. 
【小題3】How many Oscar best actresses are mentioned in this passage?
A．One. B．Three. C．Five. D．Six. 
【小題4】Which of the following statements is WRONG?
A．“12 Years a Slave” won two Oscar awards altogether. 
B．The director of “Gravity” is from Latin America. 
C．The character Rayon is played by Jared Leto. 
D．The woman film star Cate Blanchett comes from Oceania.

How do you design a pay plan that motivates people to do their best work? A new study by three Harvard researchers suggests a novel answer: Shortly after you hire new workers, give them a raise.
"Previous research has shown that paying people more than they expect may elicit reciprocity(相互作用) in the form of greater productivity," notes Deepak Malhotra, a Harvard business-administration professor who worked on the study. What he and his colleagues found, however, was that the connection between more pay and extra effort depends on presenting the increase "as a gift—that is, as something you've chosen to do purely as a nice gesture, with no strings attached."
Malhotra and his team studied 267 people hired by oDesk, a global online network of freelancers, to do a one-time data-entry project for four hours. All of the new hires were people in developing countries, for whom hourly wages of $3 and $4 were higher than what they had been making in previous jobs.
The researchers split the group up into three equal parts. One group was told they would earn $3 an hour. A second group was initially hired at $3 an hour but, before they started working, they got a surprise: The budget for the project had expanded unexpectedly, they were told, and they would now be paid $4 an hour. The third group was offered $4 an hour from the start and given no increase.
Even though the second and third groups were eventually paid the same amount, the second group worked harder and produced more—about 20% more—than either of the other two. People in the second group also showed the most stamina, maintaining their focus all the way through the assigned task and performing especially well toward the end of the four hours. Interestingly, the more experienced employees in the high-performing group were the most productive of all, apparently because their previous work experience led them to appreciate the rarity of an unexpected raise.
Contrary to conventional wisdom, Malhotra points out that higher pay, in and of itself, didn't promote productivity: People who made $4 an hour from the beginning worked no harder than those who were hired at $3 and were then paid $3.
To get the most impact from their pay plans, he adds, companies might consider not only what to pay new hires, but when to pay it.
"The key thing is how you present [the reason for an increase]," he says. Doling out extra money could promote productivity most "if you make it clear that the pay raise is something you're choosing to do just because you can. Our theory is that people will reciprocate. If you do something nice, they'll do something nice back."   
【小題1】What does the underlined word “stamina” most probably mean?

A．The quality of being intelligent or clever.
B．The quality of doing something difficult or dangerous.
C．The physical or mental energy needed to do a tiring activity for a long time.
D．A particular method of doing an activity, usually involving practical skills.
【小題2】Why did the second group produce more than the other two groups?
A．Because they thought they were better paid than the other groups.
B．Because they were experienced employees from developing countries.
C．Because an unexpected raise reminded them of their previous work.
D．Because they felt they were nicely treated and tried best to repay it.
【小題3】What can we infer from this passage?
A．No pains, no gains.
B．It matters not what we give but how.
C．Honesty is the best policy.
D．Actions speak louder than words.

They already guide blind and disabled people; now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia（癡呆） or Alzheimer's．Alzheimer's can make people confuse night and day or forget basic things such as washing or drinking enough water．
The dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers（觸發(fā)器） in the home that cause them to perform tasks．The duties will include reminding their owners to take medicine, as well as encouraging them to eat, drink and sleep regularly．
The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer's Scotland and Dogs for the Disabled．The first dogs will be distributed to four Scottish couples, where one of the partners is in the early stages of dementia．Some 670,000 people in Britain have dementia and one in three over 65s will develop the condition．By 2021 this is expected to rise to one million．
Joyce Gray of Alzheimer's Scotland said, "People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relatively normal life, and dogs help to maintain routine．" Another advantage of using the pets as companions is that dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship．Ms Gray said, "The evidence is that people may forget familiar faces but not pets．It's such a strong bond that people often remember them longest．People don't need to communicate verbally （言語(yǔ)地） but they can still interact．You can have a speechless bond．"
Helen McCain, director of Dogs for the Disabled, said, "People with dementia often forget to take the medicine．If a dog presents them with a bag with pills in it there's a greater chance of them taking it．The dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks, ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people．"

Lately, Bolivia has outlawed (宣布……為非法) the use of animals in circus (馬戲團(tuán)) performances, and officials in the South American nation aren’t doing it in a silly way! They say all Bolivian circuses must stop using animals.
Some people welcome the law. They say animals should not be forced to work and that circus creatures are caged in tight spaces when they travel. However, other people say that many of the four legged performers are cared for by animal experts. Plus, they point out, circus animals entertain millions of fans.
Should animals perform in circuses? Student reporters Michael and Emily have done some work on the issue.
Yes, I think animals should be allowed in circus acts. Most circus trainers love and respect the animals they work with and treat them well. Certain rules and regulations also help to ensure that the animals are treated humanely, or with kindness. Millions of people love circus animals. They look forward to seeing elephants and tigers perform. Many of the animals are exotic (奇特的), so people might not get the chance to see them anywhere else. “Circus animals shouldn’t be banned,” says Parker, a sixth grader from Oregon City, “One of the main reasons people go to the circus is to see animals they don’t see every day and to see them do cool tricks.”
Animals should not perform in circuses. When animals are in circuses, they are forced to learn new behaviors in order to entertain humans. Those behaviors may go against their natural instincts (本性). For example, bears  hibernate  in the winter, but bears in a circus have to perform and can’t hibernate as their bodies tell them to. Also, circus animals have to travel all the time in cages. All that traveling may cause them to become confused or upset because their environment keeps changing. “When animals are removed from their habitat and held in cages ... it changes their behaviors,” points out Anne Northam, a teacher from Friendswood, Texas.  “They are no longer selfsufficient (自給自足的).”
【小題1】Which of the following can be a reason why people support the law?

A．Animals in circuses are given more respect and care.
B．Animals in circuses bring a lot of fun for people.
C．Animals in circuses can’t live their life naturally.
D．Animals in circuses are protected by many regulations.
【小題2】What’s Anne’s attitude towards the new law?
A．She welcomes it.
B．She is against it.
C．She thinks it acceptable.
D．She thinks it useless.
【小題3】Which would be the best title for the text?
A．Enjoy more fun in circuses
B．More respect and kindness to animals
C．Circuses in Bolivia Open or Closed
D．Animals belong in circuses Yes or No
【小題4】The underlined word “hibernate” in the last paragraph probably means __________.
A．sleepB．look for foodC．move from one place to another D．perform

Few laws are so effective that you can see results just days after they take effect.But in the nine days since the federal cigarette tax more than doubled－to $1.01 per pack－smokers have jammed telephone “quit lines” across the country seeking to kick the habit.
This is not a surprise to public health advocates.They've studied the effect of state tax increases for years，finding that smokers，especially teens，are price sensitive.Nor is it a shock to the industry，which fiercely fights every tax increase.
The only wonder is that so many states insist on closing their ears to the message.Tobacco taxes improve public health，they raise money and most particularly，they deter people from taking up the habit as teens，which is when nearly all smokers are addicted.Yet the rate of taxation varies widely.
In Manhattan，for instance，which has the highest tax in the nation，a pack of Marlboro Light Kings，cost $10.06 at one drugstore Wednesday.In Charleston，S.C.，where the 7 cent a pack tax is the lowest in the nation，the price was $4.78.
The influence is obvious.

In New York，high school smoking hit a new low in the latest surveys－13.8%，far below the national average.By comparison,26% of high school students smoke in Kentucky.Other low tax states have similarly depressing teen smoking records.
Hal Rogers，Representative from Kentucky，like those who are against high tobacco taxes，argues that the burden of the tax falls on low?income Americans “who choose to smoke.”
That's true.But there is more reason in keeping future generations of low?income workers from getting hooked in the first place.As for today's adults，if the new tax drives them to quit，they will have more to spend on their families，cut their risk of cancer and heart disease and feel better.
【小題1】The text is mainly about ________.

A．the price of cigarettes
B．the rate of teen smoking
C．the effect of tobacco tax increase
D．the differences in tobacco tax rate
【小題2】What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A．The new tax will be beneficial in the long run.
B．Low?income Americans are more likely to fall ill.
C．Future generations will be hooked on smoking.
D．Adults will depend more on their families.
【小題3】Rogers' attitude towards the low?income smokers might be that of ________.
A．toleranceB．unconcern
C．doubtD．sympathy
【小題4】What does the author think is a surprise?
A．Teen smokers are price sensitive.
B．Some states still keep the tobacco tax low.
C．Tobacco taxes improve public health.
D．Tobacco industry fiercely fights the tax rise.
