Next time a customer comes to your office, offer him a cup of coffee. And when you’re doing your holiday shopping online, make sure you’re holding a large glass of iced tea. The physical sensation（感覺） of warmth encourages emotional warmth, while a cold drink in hand prevents you from making unwise decisions—those are the practical lesson being drawn from recent research by psychologist John A. Bargh.
Psychologists have known that one person’s perception（感知） of another’s “warmth” is a powerful determiner in social relationships. Judging someone to be either “warm” or “cold” is a primary consideration, even trumping evidence that a “cold” person may be more capable. Much of this is rooted in very early childhood experiences, Bargh argues, when babies’ conceptual sense of the world around them is shaped by physical sensations, particularly warmth and coldness. Classic studies by Harry Harlow, published in 1958, showed monkeys preferred to stay close to a cloth “mother” rather than one made of wire, even when the wire “mother” carried a food bottle. Harlow’s work and later studies have led psychologists to stress the need for warm physical contact from caregivers to help young children grow into healthy adults with normal social skills.
Feelings of “warmth” and “coldness” in social judgments appear to be universal. Although no worldwide study has been done, Bargh says that describing people as “warm” or “cold” is common to many cultures, and studies have found those perceptions influence judgment in dozens of countries.
To test the relationship between physical and psychological warmth, Bargh conducted an experiment which involved 41 college students. A research assistant who was unaware of the study’s hypotheses（假設）, handed the students either a hot cup of coffee, or a cold drink, to hold while the researcher filled out a short information form: The drink was then handed back. After that, the students were asked to rate the personality of “Person A” based on a particular description. Those who had briefly held the warm drink regarded Person A as warmer than those who had held the iced drink.
“We are grounded in our physical experiences even when we think abstractly,” says Bargh.

Do you think that a universal language will emerge within the next century? English is   51  the lingua franca in many parts of the world, and is the best language currently to know   52  business and science,   53  I don’t think English will   54  become a universal language. I think that if a language becomes the world language, it should be an artificial one.   55 , it might seem to many as an effort to   56  a certain cultural group. The   57  with a universal language is how to   58  it, and how to get the governments of the world to agree   59  its implementation.
If this were to happen, the international language would be the   60  second language of all countries, and legally it would still play second fiddle to the current language of that country. It could allow different tribes in Africa to communicate, or   61  communication between small villages in India that each speaks different languages. Not to   62  it would mean that one would only have to learn two languages no matter   63  in the world he travels.
What   64  specifics—what writing   65  should it use? Where should its words come from? Should the language be highly inflected or very analytical? And furthermore, how will the language be established?

Students and Technology in the Classroom
I love my blackberry—it’s my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me . I also love my laptop computer ，as it holds all of my writing and thought .Despite this love of technology ,I know that there are times when I need to move away from these device and truly communication with others.On occasion ,I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas .Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom ,I have a rule —no laptop ,ipads ,phones ,etc .When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy .
Most students assume that year reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology . There’s a bit of truth to that.Some students assume that I am anti-technology . There’s no truth in that at all . I love technology and try to keep up with it so I relate to my students.
The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversions and truly engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas . I want students to think differently and make connections between the course the material and the class discussion .
I’ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the educations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create .Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge , they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom .
I’m not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change ,I’m sticking to my plan. a few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too give up.
小題1:
some of the students in the history class were unhappy with____
A．the course materialB．others’ misuse of technology
C．discussion topicsD．the author’s class regulator
小題2:
the underlined word “engage ”in para.4 probably means ____
A．exploreB．acceptC．changeD．reject
小題3:
according to the author ,the use of technology in the classroom may ____
A．keep students from doing independent thinking
B．encourage students to have in-depth conversations
C．help students to better understand complex themes
D．affect students’ concentration on course evaluation
小題4:
it can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author ____
A．is quite stubborn
B．will give up teaching history
C．will change his teaching plan soon
D．values technology-free dialogues in his class

A popular saying goes, “Sticks and stone may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” However, that’s not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn’t matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves – the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.
We all talk to ourselves sometimes. We’re usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. But we really shouldn’t be, because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.
This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solves problems, and calm ourselves down. Beware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying, “Good job!”
Words possess power because of their lasting effects. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it true? Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid.
Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem(自尊) and motive others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.
小題1:The author argues in the first paragraph that ________.
A．words will never hurt us at all
B．words have lasting effects on us
C．positive effects last longer than negative effects
D．negative words last longer than positive effects
小題2:Why should we not feel embarrassed when talking to ourselves?
A．Almost everybody has the habit of talking to oneself.
B．It does harm to have “self-talk” when we are alone.
C．Talking to ourselves helps us to solve all the problems.
D．Talking to ourselves is believed to be good for our health.
小題3:The underlined phrase “give ourselves a pat on the back” in Paragraph 3 means _________.
A．blame ourselvesB．punish ourselves
C．praise ourselvesD．talk to ourselves
小題4:Which of the following statements would the author agree to?
A．It is better to think twice before talking to others.
B．It is impossible for unkind words to be forgotten.
C．Words always possess long positive effects.
D．Kind words are sometimes not needed at all.

Most people think that the capital of the movie world is Hollyhood, in the United States. However, the real movie capital is Mumbai, in India. Mumbai used to be known as Bombay, and so the film industry there is called “Bollywood.” Bollywood makes twice as many movies each year as Hollyhood—more than 800 films a year.
The movies from Bollywood are very different from Hollywood movies. For one thing, Bollywood movies are much longer than most Hollywood movies. Most Bollywood movies are more than three hours long, and contain singing, dancing, action, adventure, mystery, and romance (but usually no kissing). Because Bollywood films contain so many different features, this style of film is sometimes called a “masala” film. (“Masala” is an Indian word for a mixture of spices.)
Another big difference between Bollywood and Hollywood movies is the way movies are made. It takes much longer to make a movie in Hollywood than in Bollywood. In fact, filming may begin on a Bollywood movie before the script even finished. The director and writers can make up the story while the film is being made. Sometimes they will even write the script by hand instead of taking time to type it.
Bollywood actors are very popular and some are in such high demand that they may work on several movies at the same time. They may even shoot scenes for several films on the same day using the same costumes and scenery. Since most Bollywood movies follow the same kind of story, shooting scenes for several films at the same time is not a big problem for actors or directors. This also helps keep the cost of Bollywood movies lower than the cost of Hollywood movies. The average Bollywood film, with a budget of only two million U.S. dollars, seems very cheap compared to the average budget of sixty million U.S. dollars for a Hollywood film—thirty times as much!
小題1:What is the main topic of the reading?
A．famous stars in BollywoodB．how Hollywood movies are made
C．the differences between two movie industriesD．the history of movie-making in India
小題2:What is NOT true about Mumbai?
A．It is the movie capital of India.
B．The new name is Bombay.
C．More movies are made there than in Hollywood.
D．It is less expensive to make films there than in Hollywood.
小題3: Why are Bollywood films often called “masala” films?
A．They have spicy stories.B．They show Indian culture.
C．They are much longer than Hollywood films.D．They mix different styles of movies.
小題4: Bollywood movies are cheap to make because ____________________ .
A．they are shorter than Hollywood films.
B．the scripts are written by hand.
C．the movies do not use any special effects.
D．each movie reuses things from other movies.
小題5:Which of these statements would the writer probably agree with?
A．Most Bollywood movies are very similar.
B．It takes a lot of money to make a good movie.
C．Only Indian people can understand Bollywood movies.
D．Hollywood movies are too violent.

Standardized exam in American public education are being reformed. Over the next four years, hundreds of university professors and testing experts will work together to design new assessment system.
The new tests will be computer-based and will measure higher-order skills ignored by the multiple-choice exams used in all states，including students’ ability to read complex texts, synthesize(合成)information and do research projects．
Because the new tests will be computerized and will be administered several times throughout the school year, they can provide faster feedback(反饋)to teachers．If these plans work out, It’ll turn the current testing system upside down．
One group，led by Florida，will be made up of 25 states and the District of Columbia．The group was awarded $170 million．The other group, whose membership over-laps the first，has31 states and is led by Washington．The group was given $160 million．Twelve of the 44 states are
participating in both groups but are expected eventually to choose one set of tests．
The two groups are supposed to work in a friendly competition，though their plans are very similar．Both groups will produce tests that rely heavily on technology and both groups’ tests will include so-called performance-based tasks，designed to mirror complex，real-world situations．
In performance-based tasks，students are given a problem－they could be told, for example, to suppose they are a mayor who needs to reduce a city’s pollution—and must write about how they would solve the problem．
The new tests could be useful to teachers by giving them information on what their students are learning, but it might also require some mid-course adjustments.
Over the past decade, the federal No Child Left Behind law has emphasized helping low-achieving students improve their basic reading and math by encouraging states to produce tests that measure relatively low-1evel skills. Although the Bush-era law is still on the books, two
years of Obama administration policy have been leading schools in new directions．   
小題1:. . What is the main idea of this passage?
A．Obama’s education policy takes the lead.
B．A computer-based testing system is adopted.
C．American education system has been changed.
D．Experts are reinventing the student testing system.
小題2:.  Why are multiple-choice exams to be given up?
A．Because they are not computer-based.
B．Because they can’t test students’ higher-order skills.
C．Because they can’t provide proper feedback for teachers.
D．Because they can’t test students’ general reading ability.
小題3:.  The underlined part in Para. 4 probably means________.
A．the two groups have some shared members
B．the other group is more demanding than the first
C．the groups have different tasks of their own
D．the other group does better than the first group in the task
小題4:.  According to the passage, performance-based tasks may refer to tasks that______.
A．are related to real-world problems
B．have to be performed in an imaginary world
C．teach us theories through complex problems
D．can only be completed by relying heavily on technology
小題5:. . From the last paragraph, we can infer that_________.
A．the No child Left Behind policy is not helpful
B．the Obama administration’s policy is highly praised
C．the two policies both emphasize math and reading abilities
D．the two policies both emphasize the development of practical skills

Prince Charles yesterday promised to reduce the royal impact on the environment through sweeping changes to his personal lifestyle and official schedule. The prince will replace carbon-heavy private jets and helicopters with scheduled flights and train services.
The move came as Prince Charles urged business leaders to publish the environmental pact of their activities.
He said, “Few accountants and business decision-makers ask, ‘How much of our critical natural resource is left? How many miles of polar ice cap has our business helped melt this year? By how many inches have we raised sea levels? How many species have we put at risk? How many homes will be flooded, how many people will die of thirst or starvation because of our activities? ’ These are not comfortable questions, but, by God, they need to be asked. ”
He added, “At the moment these costs do not appear in anyone’s books… Yet they are real, they are incurred now and in a relatively short time, the damage being caused may be beyond remedy. ” He said the world was “running up the biggest global credit card debt in history, but with little or no thought for how the bill will ever be paid”.
Flanked by the prime minister and business and community leaders at St James’ Palace, the prince said his new “accounting for sustainability” project would give consumers the power to choose products that caused less damage to the planet.
Duchy Originals, the prince’s food company, is taking steps to work out how much carbon dioxide and other green-house gases are emitted in growing, processing and distributing its products. The changes to the prince’s travel arrangements announced yesterday are part of a wider review of the carbon footprint associated with activities at all three of his residences. Clarence House in London, Highgrove and Birkhall on the Balmorals estate(莊園), as well as the activities of his 21 personal and 105 full-time staff. Measures include a review of electricity use, commuter and other staff travel and are intended to identify further reductions in carbon dioxide emissions. The review will report in June , when Clarence House will announce annual targets to reduce carbon emission.
小題1:How does Prince Charles feel about business leaders in terms of environmental protection?
A．Dissatisfied.B．Disappointed.
C．Doubtful.D．Impatient.
小題2:In response to Prince Charles’ calls, Duchy Originals will ______.
A．make as much green food as possible
B．cut down its cost
C．figure out its greenhouse gas emission
D．continue its greenhouse gas emission
小題3:The underlined phrase in paragraph 4 probably refers to ______.
A．the great amount of waste produced by industry
B．the great damage caused to the environment
C．the great amount of debts of the royal family
D．the high cost of industry in their producing process
小題4:What would be the best title for the passage?
