Many people believe the glare（炫目的光）from snow causes snowblindness. Yet, with dark glasses or not, they find themselves suffering from headaches and watering eyes, and even snowblindness ,when exposed to several hours of“ snow light”.
The United States army has now determined that glare from snow does not cause snowblindness in troops in a snow -covered country. Rather ,a man’s eyes frequently find nothing to focus on （聚集）in a broad space of snow- covered without- grass land. So his gaze continually moves and jumps back and forth over the entire landscape in search of something to look at. Finding something, hour after hour, the eyes never stop searching and the eyeballs become tired and the eye muscles ache. Nature makes up for this discomfort by producing more and more fluid （流體） which covers the eyeball. The fluid covers the eyeball in increasing quantity until it makes eyes difficult to see dearly, and the result is total, even though for a short time, snowblindness.
Experiments led the Army to a simple method of overcoming this problem. Scouts（偵察兵）ahead of the troops are trained to shake snow from evergreen bushes, creating a dotted line as they cross completely snow - covered landscape. Even the scouts themselves throw lightweight, dark - colored objects ahead on which they can focus too. The men following can then see something. Their gaze is arrested. Their eyes focus on a bush and having found something to see, stop searching the snow -blanketed landscape. By focusing their attention on one object at a time. the men can cross the snow without becoming hopelessly snowblind or lost. In this way the problem of crossing a continuous white land is overcome.

  1. 1.

    To prevent snowblindness caused by the strong light from snow, wearing glasses or not ________.

    1. A.
      depends on whether the snow is white enough
    2. B.
      makes no difference
    3. C.
      makes much difference
    4. D.
      depends on whether the snow is thick
  2. 2.

    When the eyes are tired, tears flow out ________.

    1. A.
      to clear the vision
    2. B.
      to make the eyes stop searching
    3. C.
      to make the vision unclear
    4. D.
      to produce more and more liquid
  3. 3.

    Snowblindness can be avoided ________.

    1. A.
      by moving one’s gaze back and forth
    2. B.
      by walking ahead and keeping looking around
    3. C.
      by making up for the discomfort of one’s eyes
    4. D.
      by providing the eyes with something to focus on

Count Me Out
Call me old-fashioned. Call me old. Call me what you want, but I refuse to become part of this new Internet world.
I do not possess a computer at home or at the office. Actually, I stopped going to an office 35 years ago, when all communications were done with a pen, a typewriter, or, if the matter was of world-shaking importance, over the telephone. Likewise, if you like something advertised in a newspaper or magazine, you visited the shop selling it at the given address, or you phoned the number shown. Then you spoke to the fellow and asked for further details.
Tell me what you think of the following ad that appeared the other day in the newspaper. It was for a cure for cancer and this is what it said: “Awareness is the key. Visit spfulford. com at the awareness site.” There was no address or telephone number for the site. So what do unfortunate people without a computer do if they are seeking a cure for their illness?
There are, I am told, certain advantages in having access to the Internet. You can, for example, send love messages across the world or even get married to someone that you meet online. This bit doesn’t interest me; I have been happily married for 60 years. There are, of course, other activities for Internet users besides finding love. They can pay bills, order groceries, or discuss with their doctors.
And this is by no means all. More amazing things are yet to come in the near future. I read a newspaper report recently that quoted Stephen Hawking, an important British scientist. “The complexity of a computer as it exists today is probably less than the brain of an earthworm,” he said. “But, as technology advances, computers will become more complex, and a time may come when the Internet may develop ‘consciousness.’ In other words, the Internet will be able to think, have feelings, and may well be able to act on its own.”
If Professor Hawking is right, I may change my attitude to computers. As I grow older each day, I would like one of those that not only thinks for me but also accepts responsibilities for all my mistakes.

  1. 1.

    What’s the meaning of the title “Count Me Out”?

    1. A.
      Get me out of the Internet world.
    2. B.
      Computers are trying to take control of life.
    3. C.
      Modern technology pushes old people away.
    4. D.
      Do not expect me to be a supporter of the Internet.
  2. 2.

    According to Paragraph 2, the author thinks computers are         .

    1. A.
      unnecessary
    2. B.
      convenient
    3. C.
      expensive
    4. D.
      advanced
  3. 3.

    What might the author like about the future computer?

    1. A.
      Taking blames.
    2. B.
      Curing illnesses.
    3. C.
      Delivering messages.
    4. D.
      Responding to emotions.

Laughter Yoga (瑜伽) is a unique technique invented by Dr Kataria, a doctor from India, by which you can learn to “Laugh for No Reason”. You don’t even need a sense of humor, no funny jokes or comedy programs — just a willingness to laugh — and in the present climate everyone needs to laugh more.
Laughter Yoga is a combination of Laughter Exercises and Yogic Breathing, so that you increase the amount of oxygen in your body while being playful, resulting in you feeling healthier, energetic and alive. This actually changes the physical conditions of your body so that you start to feel happier.
Laughter Yoga is generally done in groups although it can be practiced alone. When you make eye contact with someone and you’re both willing to laugh, the laughter is increased. However, we do say that you can “Fake (假裝) it, fake it till you make it” because the body doesn’t know the difference between fake and true laughter; as long as you’re willing to laugh you’ll experience the same health benefits.
Laughter Yoga started in a park in Mumbai in 1995 with just 5 participants, and now there’re over 6,000 laughter clubs in 60 different countries — showing the willingness of the world to laugh together.
In the UK, Julie was one of the first people to train as a Laughter Leader with Dr Kataria in June 2002. In 2006 she was awarded Laughter Ambassador for her selfless service to promote Laughter Yoga.
“Yoga has been part of my life for 30 years but 7 years ago my life changed when I discovered Laughter Yoga. I believe laughter and yoga are both good for your health,” says Julie.

Think for a moment about the teachers you have had at school or at university.  Which one did you like best?  And Why?  Were the teachers you liked best also the ones who were the best teachers, in you opinion?  Before you read any further, consider for a minute the qualities that make a teacher outstanding(出色).
Some very common answers to this question are that teachers need to love their students, that they need to have an expert knowledge of their subjects, and that they should devote themselves completely to their jobs.  All of these ideas are, of course, true to a certain extent(程度)but they are perhaps a little too simple.
It is impossible for anyone to love everyone they know, and teachers deal with a very large number of students over the years.  On the other hand, teachers should certainly be able to make their students feel that they are interested in them as people and in the development of both their characters.  A deep knowledge on to the students effectively-a teacher needs to be trained in the skills of teaching.  These skills include how to control a class, and so on.  Finally, teachers have to devote a lot of time and energy to their work, of course.  However, they are also models that their students must follow;  so it is important that they should be well-balanced people with interests outside their school work-family, friends, hobbies, etc.  A teacher who only lives for work is likely to become too narrow-minded.

  1. 1.

    The author suggests that you think about the teachers you have had at school or at university so that_______

    1. A.
      you might praise outstanding teachers
    2. B.
      you might know the qualities of outstanding teachers
    3. C.
      you might select outstanding teachers
    4. D.
      you might learn from outstanding teachers
  2. 2.

    The author does not consider it possible for a teacher_______

    1. A.
      to love all the students he has taught or is teaching
    2. B.
      to have a good knowledge of the subject he teaches
    3. C.
      to pass the knowledge of his subjects on to his students effectively
    4. D.
      to be an example for his students to follow
  3. 3.

    A well - balanced person is one_______.

    1. A.
      who devotes all his time and energy to his work
    2. B.
      who devotes most of his time and energy to his family, friend, hobbies, etc
    3. C.
      who has interests both in and outside his work
    4. D.
      who has interests neither in nor outside his work
  4. 4.

    From the passage, we can conclude that_______.

    1. A.
      most teachers are born with such skills as how to explain a lesson clearly
    2. B.
      it is not necessary of teachers to spend much time and energy on their work if they do have an expert knowledge of their subjects
    3. C.
      teachers should be trained to love all the students they are teaching or have taught
    4. D.
      even if a teacher has a good knowledge of his subjects, he can not be a good teacher if he doesn’t have the ability to pass that knowledge on to his students.

In a country that defines itself by ideals, not by shared blood, who should be allowed to come to work and live here? In the wake of the Sept.11 attacks these questions have never seemed more pressing.
On Dec.11, 2001, as part of the effort to increase homeland security, federal and local authorities in 14 states staged “Operation Safe Travel”---raids on airports to arrest employees with false identification.In Salt Lake City there were 69 arrests.But those captures were anything but terrorists, most of them illegal immigrants from Central or South America.Authorities said the undocumented workers’ illegal status made them open to blackmail（訛詐）by terrorists.
Many immigrants in Salt Lake City were angered by the arrests and said they felt as if they were being treated like disposable goods.Mayor Anderson said those feelings were justified to a certain extent.“We’re saying we want you to work in these places, we’re going to look the other way in terms of what our laws are, and then when it’s convenient for us, or when we can try to make a point in terms of national security, especially after Sept.11, then you’re disposable.They are whole families being uprooted for all of the wrong reasons,” Anderson said.
If Sept.11 had never happened, the airport workers would not have been arrested and could have gone on quietly living in America, probably indefinitely.Ana Castro, a manager at a Ben & Jerry’s ice cream shop at the airport had been working 10 years with the same false Social Security card when she was arrested in the December airport raid.Now she and her family are living under the threat of deportation（驅(qū)逐出境）.Castro’s case is currently waiting to be settled.While she awaits the outcome, the government has granted her permission to work here and she has returned to her job at Ben & Jerry’s.

  1. 1.

    How did the immigrants in Salt Lake City feel about “Operation Safe Travel”?

    1. A.
      Guilty
    2. B.
      Offended
    3. C.
      Disappointed
    4. D.
      Discouraged
  2. 2.

    Undocumented workers became the target of “Operation Safe Travel” because ____.

    1. A.
      evidence was found that they were potential terrorists
    2. B.
      most of them worked at airports under threat of terrorists
    3. C.
      terrorists might take advantage of their illegal status
    4. D.
      they were reportedly helping hide terrorists around the airport
  3. 3.

    By saying “…we’re going to look the other way in terms of what our laws are”, Mayor Anderson means “______”.

    1. A.
      there are other ways of enforcing the law
    2. B.
      we will examine the laws in a different way
    3. C.
      we will turn a blind eye to your illegal status
    4. D.
      the existing laws must not be ignored

The TV shows a baby’s pram (嬰兒車) rolling off a train platform as the mother makes a mad rush to save her son, but she is too late and it falls onto the rails in front of an incoming train. This heart-stopping scene happened yesterday at Ashburton station in Melbourne, Australia. But the story has a happy ending: the six-month-old baby survived with just a cut on his forehead, although the pram was dragged about 35 metres by the braking train. The nurse Jon Wright said the boy just “needed a feed and a sleep” and didn’t need to stay in hospital.
“Luckily, he was strapped (綁) into his pram at the time, which probably saved his life. I think the child is extremely lucky, ” Wright told the Herald Sun newspaper after the baby was taken to hospital with minor injuries.
Fortunately the train was already slowing down to stop at the station so it stopped quickly when the driver put on the brakes as soon as he saw the pram fall in front of him. Rail firm Connex is to look into how the pram rolled off the platform. The accident came one day after Connex started a child safety awareness activity warning parents to keep babies strapped into their prams at all times while on platforms.
The accident happened at the same time as the “balloon boy ”story in the US, in which a six-year-old Colorado boy was reported to be trapped in a flyaway balloon. However, he was later found hiding in the family’s garage. Many people believe that it had all been a publicity stunt by the parents. No such doubts surround the baby on the train platform.

  1. 1.

    In the accident, the baby           .

    1. A.
      almost fell onto the rails
    2. B.
      needed to stay in hospital
    3. C.
      was badly injured by the train
    4. D.
      was pulled a long distance in the pram by the train
  2. 2.

    The child was not killed most probably because        .

    1. A.
      the mother strapped him into his pram
    2. B.
      the platform is not very high
    3. C.
      he was well fed and asleep
    4. D.
      the mother rushed to save him
  3. 3.

    Why could the train stop quickly?

    1. A.
      Because it had just begun to move.
    2. B.
      Because it was moving slowly at that time.
    3. C.
      Because the mother took measures quickly.
    4. D.
      Because the driver saw the pram fall.
  4. 4.

    The underlined word “stunt” in the last paragraph probably means           .

    1. A.
      something silly
    2. B.
      something funny
    3. C.
      something done to attract attention
    4. D.
      something done to avoid bad luck
