Though I don’t have much money, I always try to think positively. However, sometimes, I also feel depressed and sad when I think how others have more than me, so I hate thinking about money. When I was younger, I always wondered why money was so important. But as I get older, of course that changes.
Last night, on my way home I stopped by to buy some hamburgers at a fast food restaurant. On my way in, a homeless man came over and asked, “Do you have any bottles lying around?” I knew he would recycle them for a few cents, but I had none. And again he asked, “Can you spare some change?” I smiled and said, “Sorry, I don’t.” He was respectful, saying, “OK, thank you.” Though he didn’t have anything, he was still in good spirits.
I went in and ate my meal, but I wondered if he was hungry, thinking if I should buy him something or not. Only after I finished my meal did I decide to order another one for him. At this point I didn't know if he was still around, but I tried anyway. At the counter I ordered a hamburger and also a hot chocolate, for it was cold outside. As I waited, I noticed the homeless man standing beside me with a tray（盤子）full of a few coins. I looked at him and smiled, “The hamburger and this hot chocolate are for you.” He replied like a gentleman, “Thank you. That’s very kind of you.”
No matter how hard your life is, there are always those whose life is harder. And it's not always about happiness, but it’s about love. If you love someone, you’ll give them what they deserve because the greatest thing you can give is love.

More and more corporations are taking an interest in corporate social responsibility (CSR). CSR is made up of three broad layers. The most basic is traditional corporate charity work. Companies typically spend about 1% of pre-tax profits on worthy projects. But many feel that simply writing cheques to charities is no longer enough. In some companies, shareholders want to know that their money is being put to good use, and employees want to be actively involved in good works.
Money alone is not the answer when companies come under attack for their behavior. Hence the second layer of CSR, which is a branch of risk management. Starting in the 1980s, with environmental disasters such as the explosion at Bhopal and the Exxon Valdez oil spill, industry after industry has suffered blows to its reputation.
So, companies often responded by trying to manage the risks. They talk to non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and to governments, create codes of conduct（行為準(zhǔn)則) and devote themselves to more transparency（透明）in their operations. Increasingly, too. they, along with their competitors, set common rules to spread risks.
All this is largely defensive, but there are also opportunities for those that get ahead of the game. The emphasis on opportunity is the third layer of CSR: the idea that it can help to create value. If approached in a strategic way, CSR could become part of a company's competitive advantage. That is just the sort of thing chief executives like to hear. The idea of "doing well by doing good" has become popular.
Nevertheless, the business of trying to be good is bringing difficult questions to executives. Can you measure CSR performance? Should you be cooperating with NGOs and you’re your competitors? Is there any really competitive advantage to be had from a green strategy?
Corporate social responsibility is now seen as a mainstream. Big companies want to tell the world about their good citizenship with their devotion to social responsibilities. Done badly, CSR is often just window-dressing and can be positively harmful. Done well, though, it is not some separate activity that companies do on the side, a corner of corporate life reserved for virtue（美德）：it is just good business.
(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)
小題1:Both _________ in some companies find it no longer enough to simply donate money to charities.
小題2:Give one example of the defensive measures of risk management according to the passage.
小題3:With the emphasis on opportunity, the third layer of CSR is meant to_________.

Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.
While contact between adolescents (between the ages of fifteen and nineteen) and their peers (同齡人) is a universal characteristic of all cultures, the nature and the degree of such contact vary a great deal. In American contemporary society, adolescents spend much more time with their peers than with younger children or adults.
This pattern of age segregation(隔離) in American society did not become usual until the beginning of the industrialized society. Changes in the workplace separated children from adults, with adults working and children attending school. The dramatic increase of mothers in the workplace has further contributed to the reduction in the amount of time adolescents spend with adults. School reform efforts during the nineteenth century, which resulted in age-segregated schools and grades, have reduced the amount of time adolescents spend with younger children. Finally, the changes in population are considered a factor that may have contributed to the emergence of adolescent peer culture. From 1955 t0 1975, the adolescent population increased dramatically, from 11 percent t0 20.9 percent. This increase in the number of adolescents might be a contributing factor to the increase in adolescent peer culture in terms of growth in size.
Research supports the view that adolescents spend a great deal of time with their peers. Reed Larson and his colleagues examined adolescents' daily activities and found that they spend more time talking to their friends than engaging in any other activity. In a typical week, high school students will spend twice as much time with their peers as with adults. This gradual withdrawal from adults begins in early adolescence. In sixth grade, adults (excluding parents) account for only 25 percent of adolescent social networks. Another important characteristic of  adolescent peer culture is its increasingly autonomous (白治的) function. While childhood peer groups are conducted under the close supervision of parents, adolescent peer groups typically make an effort to escape adult supervision and usually succeed in doing so.

As we enjoy the summer ocean waves along the beaches，we may think nervously about Steven Spielberg’s Jaws and the great fear that sharks inspire in us．Yet we are happy to see global efforts to protect the declining number of sharks．The world has realized that we need the species，like sharks, to keep a balanced ecosystem．
Sharks，in particular，are“in’’these days．Thanks to good public policy and famous stars such as Jackie Chan and Ang Lee，killing sharks for fin soup is no longer cool．
The demand for shark fins has been rising for decades，threatening sharks with extinction(滅絕)-up to 100 million sharks are killed each year just for their fins．But we have started to reverse the trend，particularly in many areas of the United States and overseas where restaurants once proudly provided delicious shark fins on the menu．
In California，a ban on the sale and possession of shark fin soup has gone into effect this year through the efforts of Wild Aid and other organizations.
Overseas marketing and public efforts featuring posters on public transportation systems and TV ads have been underway for the past few years．These efforts all show signs of success, on both the supply side and the demand side of trade in shark fins．
Actually，stopping the killing of sharks is part of a broader movement to stop the killing of wild animals and the buying and selling of wildlife products．These products come from hunting elephants, tigers and rhinos，besides killing marine life．
Whether it is shark fin soup or ivory piano keys，killing animals is big business．The hunting of elephants in search of ivory tusks for luxury(奢侈的)goods has become a fall-scale war．The decrease of African elephant populations is alarming. Together with international partners, the United States is leading the worldwide effort to reduce demand for high-end products that rely on killing animals．
小題1:Why do people begin to make efforts to protect the declining number of sharks?
(No more than 15 words)
小題2:What’s the main reason for killing sharks?(No more than 10 Worals)

[3]The development of technology hasn't done our eating habits much good either．We are constantly troubled by e-mail，social media，and 24-hour news．Even When we do sit down for lunch，we are more connected to our hand-held electronic devices than ourselves．
[4]Long working hours can cause all kinds of health problems，and many developed countries have put in place labor laws specifically regarding the lunch break．These regulations give employees the right to take a break during a long work shift，but it's up to them whether they do so or not．
[5]Frank Partnoy，a former Wall Street trader，says that employers should encourage workers to take time off for lunch．This is because long lunch breaks can benefit both individuals and society．Writing in The Guardian，Partnoy says that one obvious reason to take a lunch break is to slow down and gain some perspective．A break from work allows us to think strategically and outside the box．It also puts our daily tasks into a broader context．If we sit down at a proper restaurant and chat leisurely with colleagues，we are more likely to slow down，something that hardly can be achieved in a noisy and over-packed fast food chain．

 There is no doubt that people with good interpersonal skills have an advantage over others. Some people are born with these skills —they can just handle other people better than the rest. While some are blessed with this talent, others can acquire it over time. Here are a few tips to help you improve your interpersonal skills:
Get over yourself. If there is one thing that stops us from growing, it may well be the ego(自我). We are not always right, but we usually do not like to hear others say that we are wrong. We need to keep our egos well in check so that we do not miss out on other’s constructive criticism. Once we have this done there is little to stop us from getting ahead in life.
Get to understand others. Everyone knows this is not easy, especially when someone is trying to get you to look bad. But do try and put yourself into the other’s shoes. There is much to be learned from this.
Listen more than you hear. How often do we see people fighting their verbal selves to be able to be heard at the table? Let us choose to be one among those who listen, and not just hear. Even an animal can hear. A human should be able to hear, understand and respond to the other people around.
Practice is everything. Just as with all other things, working on your interpersonal skills calls for a bit of practice. Trying to be polite to your very close friends and family is a great place to start.
Once you put your mind to it, then that is half the battle won, and you will soon see your relationships __________ over time.
小題1: List three of the tips mentioned in the text on improving your interpersonal skills. (within 8 words)
 ①_______ ②_______ ③_______
小題2:How should we treat our egos, according to the author?(within 8 words)
_________________________________________________________________
小題3:Which sentence in the text is the closest in meaning to the following one? We are un willing to hear others’ criticism although we do make mistakes sometimes.
_________________________________________________________________
小題4:Fill in the blank in the last paragraph with proper words. (within 4 words)
_________________________________________________________________
小題5:Translate the underlined sentence in the third paragraph into Chinese.

Making friends can be difficult, especially these days with so many peer pressures. If you want to develop a more pleasing personality and make friends，become genuinely(真正地) interested in other people and show kindness. You may be wearing the latest designer label clothes，the hottest brand shoes and the coolest jewelry, but if you display sourness and selfishness you’ll have a battle ahead of you to make good friends.
Smile...smile and continue to smile. It costs nothing, enriches those who receive it, happens in a flash(閃爍)but the memory lasts forever；it creates happiness in the home and classroom. A smile can not be bought，begged or borrowed，it comes from the heart. If you want other people to like you, make the other persons feel important, and do it sincerely!
Choose your friends carefully. If others try to persuade you to smoke, take drugs, steal，gamble, fight etc...dare to say NO. Doing the wrong thing is the quickest way to lose friends，especially honest, good and upright friends.
Being mentally strong is not always easy but let me assure you that the more you practise it，the easier it becomes. Soon those who thought they were trendy will want to dress like you，talk like you and be with you because you have a personality which is different. People like being different! By being an individual with your own personality you can achieve the very best experiences in your life. You may not ever have many friends but let me tell you that it is better to have one good friend than ten dishonest friends who will stab you in the back at the very first opportunity that arises.

Sleepless in Seattle? Hardly. West Virginia is where people are really staying awake, according to the first government study to monitor state-by-state differences in sleeplessness. West Virginians’ lack of sleep was about double the national rate, perhaps a side effect of health problems such as obesity (肥胖), experts said.
Nearly 1 in 5 West Virginians said they did not get a single good night’s sleep in the previous month. The national average was about 1 in 10, according to a federal health survey. Tennessee, Kentucky and Oklahoma also were notably above average with nearly 1 in 7 people reporting in a lack of sleep. In contrast, North Dakota was below average, with only 1 in 13 reporting that degree of sleeplessness. Health officials do not know the exact reasons for the differences.
In the survey, people weren’t required to answer the question why they were not able to get enough rest or sleep. But experts noted several possible explanations: West Virginia ranks at or near the bottom of the nation in several important measurements of health, including obesity, smoking, heart disease and the proportion of adults with disabilities.
Studies have increasingly found that sleeping problems often occurred among people with certain health problems, including obesity. “You would expect to see poorer sleep within a chronically (慢性地) diseased population,” noted Dr Ronald Chervin, a sleep disorders expert in University of Michigan.
Financial stress and work shifts (倒班) can play roles in sleeplessness, too, Chervin added. He suggested those may be contributing factors in West Virginia, an economically depressed state with tens of thousands of people working in coal mining.
The report was based on results of an annual telephone survey of more than 400,000 Americans, including at least 3,900 in each state. The survey did not include people who use only cellphones.
